I planted cotton in our orchard the first year; it in no way interfer-1 ed with the growth ami proper development of the trees, and at the same time helped defray expense of cultivation. Nothing was planted the second year, as the trees had made such growth as we feared any other crop in addition would injure Hauling over good roads, the ; cost of delivery is 3 cents i>er bushel. But if, in consequence of bad roads but fifty bushels can be delivered, the cost is doubled and the difference Mayesville. is what the impassable roads cost j Whitner you.

As yet we have shipped no fruit, selling locally at 2 cents each for peaches. Our orchard so far is free from insects and disease, however, we are molested by borers. This pest destroys more trees here than all other causes combined. Our method of J"combating it is to remove dirt from the tree and re- i place with dry a.*ho*. We make sure, by search, that no borers are left. If our t rees are ever infected by other dis^'eses, we shall certainly WE GROW ACCORDING TO THE EFFORT WE MAKE.

We hold that it is better not to frune at all than to do so impropen'y. The sap of a tree corresponds to the blood of *>ur body and nature’s way of preserv ing the life of the tree is to carry the sap into the roots of the tree from the nursery fully one haff of the roots are left in the growd. The equilibrium between the roots and branches Should be restored by the cutting away of fully one4ialf of thetree. Ytaw this, saves the rub bing off of the'sprouts that will ap pear on the body of tree in the spring, and the removal m the same way of the overplus of lunba, is all the'pruning'that will be aacessary.

A friend recommended Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself re covering, and am to-day well.” MRS. D. I. JONES, 5800 Broadway, Geveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It’s the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach di gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. 1 If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles’Nervine, is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the'irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac cording to directions, and if it docs not benefit he will return your money. UNION COTTON SELLING * % DAYS: Walterboro.
