“THE STORE THAT MAKES GOOD.”
") ACHES AN) UBUTT
» All excellent illustration of inten
sified agriculture is given to Bolton
Hall’s book, 'Three Acres and
Liberty.” It is as follows. "The
following result was obtained on a
four-acre patch near Norfolk, Va.:
The owner stated that in September
last he sowed spinach on four acres.
Between Christmas and the first of
March following, he cut and sold the
spinach at the rate of 100 barrels to
the acre, at a price ranging from $2
to $7 per barrel, an average of $4.50
per barrel. Early in March the four
acres were set out in lettuce, setting
the plants in the open air with no
protection whatever, 175,Olio plants
on the four acres. He shipped 450
half barrel baskets of lettuce to the
acre, as a price ranging from $2 to
$2.75 per basket.
"Early in April, just before the
lettuce was re ady to ship, he plant
ed snap beans between the lettuce
rows; and to-day, June 2, these are
the finest beans we have seen this
season. Owner says he will have 150
half-barrel baskets to the acre; but
we think he will surely have nearer
25o. However, 150 will be enough,
for he will sell the same for from $1
up to $2 per basket; perhaps even
higher. The last week in May he
planted canteloupes between the
bean rows, which, marketed it. July,
will make four crops from the same
land in one year’s time. I ho cante
loupes will Ik‘ good for 250 crates to
the acre and the price will run from
$1 to $1.50 a crate. A careful inves
tigation of these facts, figures ' and
features will show that his gross
sales will easily reach $2,tM»0 per
acre: his net profits depend largely
upon the man and the management;
but they surely should rot be less
than $1,000 clear, clean profit to the
acre.
"This is for farming done all out
of doors. No hot-bed work, not a
bit of it, with no extra expense for
hot beds, cold frames or hothouses.”
The same methods, applied at a
time varied according to the lati
tude, with a proper observance of
the condition and needs of the soil,
will produce simmilar results almost
anywhere in the United States.
Think it over—Illustrated com
panion.

COUNTY UNION MEETING.
The county union meeting held
Saturday was one of the best yet
held. These were over fifty dele
gates present from nearly every
local in the county, and many mat
ters of importance to the union in
the county were discussed.
The meeting was called to order
promptly by Pres. L C Padgett at
the appointed hour and the business
of the meeting carried on with des
patch. > The reports of the delegates
were very % encouraging, showing
that the cauae of Unionism is in a
moat healthy *condition. The time
of the meeting was mostly taken up
in the discussion of matters pertain
ing to the objects of the union and
considered secret, therefore no re
port can be published.

I KILLED A ROBIN-
I killed a robin. The little thing.
With scarlet breast and glossy wing.
That comes in the apple tree to sing.
I flung a stone as he t wittered there;
I only meant to give, him a scare,
But.off it went-and hit him square.
A little flutter-a little cry -
Then on the ground 1 saw- him lie;
I didn’t think he was jjoing to die.
But as I watched him I soon could see
He never would sing for you and me
Any more on the apple tree.
Never more in the morning light.
Never more in the sunshine bright,
Trilling his song in gay delight.
And I’m thinking every summer dhy,
How never, never I can repay < •
That little life that I took away!

REMEMBER, we have a little proposition , for mem-
bers of the “Farmers’ Union,” which is very interest
ing as a money saver.
Rheumatic
Pains
“My mother is a great suf
ferer from rheumatism, and Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her.’*
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri
tation which prevents sleep be
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers us^them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
