Mr. Adams is desirous of coming to a warmer section, for cheaper labor, and nearer cotton. Sow Wheat! Sow Wheat! To farmers of Cherokee county:— Some tell us of our great natural re sources, some of our railroad facili ties, and others of our great educa tional advantages, and so on. Ail these wo have. They are advantages and conditions that cannot well be overrated, and we do well to avail | ourselves of the benefits that arise from them all. But w« are con fronted with a short crop of both corn and cotton, and a very low price for the latter. Our taxes and other expenses are to be met. Few, if any. will have much of the proceeds of the present crop left after their necessary claims are met. We are to live and i run our fauna auolltor jear, v\illi a prospect of much higher prices for provisions. The wheat crop comes in at a time when most provisions are scarce, and is the cheapest crop that a farmer can raise. Then it is flour at home without having to buy and pay out money for it. But, you say, I am a one horse farmer and cannot sow wheat. Yes you can. Soy you rent the land and pay a standing rent for it. Take two acres of the best land, prepare it well, put about fifteen or twenty bushels of cotton seed, or other ferti lizer of equal value, to the acre, and sow on it two bushels of wheat. Get it from your neighbor or some one that knows it to be good wheat. Soak in blue stone or roll in lime. Sow before the freezes begin, and keep the stock olT of it and you are almost sure to make a good crop. Now if you haven’t the land to spare, as soon as the wheat is cut move it from the ground elsewhere, then lay off your land, plant in any good early variety of corn with manure in the hills or drills. Manure freely and work fast and you will rarely ever fail to make a good crop of corn, thus making too good crops off the same land. I have tried this plan frequently and have never failed when I put the land in good condi tion and supplied the necessary fer tilizers and cultivated fast and prop erly. You can never succeed in making money or educating your children properly while you make five cent cotton and buy the necessities of life. Now it is of very little use to plant the corn on this plan and fail to use manure freely, as many do. I know of some crops raised this year on this plan that were not planted properly or worked as they should be, and they are almost failures. While this is true some as good corn as I knuw of has been raised this way this year. I use Miles early corn. Farmers. I have taken a one horse farmer and a renter. You who are owners of your own farms have a double incentive to thus experiment. My experience is, that such farming pays as well to the average man as any other avocation. You thus fill your corn cribs and graneries, which leads to the filling of your meat house also. You also thereby im prove your farms. Try it once fairly and report the result. Wm. Jefferies.

He had been troubled with piles for over thirty years and had used many dif ferent kinds of BO-calk-d cures; but DeWitt’s was the one that did the work and be will verify this state ment if any one wishes to write him.
