tho next season? Have they
sown small grain? Are they
really any better oil than they
were twelve months ago?
The above are a few questions
for them to consider during the
holidays and the New Y^ar.
Whije holding the self-exam
ination the following suggestions
may set them to thinking:
FA KM ACCOUNTS.
Any farmer who can add a
row of figures can keep a farm
account. Or perhaps the larger
boys and girls could do the work
and it would be good training for
them. They can get a few lesfiftna
from ar\ m n KaaI/ h ? A
?vr..u . m x/*a* kj\j\t m. aur yxr. I tti
the store or bank. Let the farmer
charge himself with land,
farm implements, horses and
other animals. That will be his
capital carried from year 4o
year- Then he will have to keep
an accutntof all things purchased
tor the farm, charging up every
cent paid out from a paper of
pins for the wife up to a steam
engine. On the other side all income
must be set down and at
the close of the year all agricultural
products on hand. The increase
in cattle, hogs and horses
will go down on the credit side.
Then if he wishes to make a clean
showing board of the family
would be a large item. In some
puch way any intelligent farmer
would h better insight into
bis real condition.
SKTTINQ OUT TREKS.
Too many homos of farmers
are without shade and fruit trees.
Ilide through all this Piedmont
country in August and many of
homes are exposed to the heat of
the sun on all sides. Then the
scarcity of fruit will be noticeable.
Set out shade trees at
once. There is no need of buy
Iing from a nurBery. The water
onk, poplar, sweet gum, holly,
beech and various other hardy
trees a*e abundant. Dig them
up and set them out. 'Ihen if
you have no grape vines by all
1 means get a few and set thetn
out. Tiien be sure to put out a
few fruit trees. Quinces, cherries
and plums thrive better in
rich soi 1 very compact ou surface
L'i .nted in the back yard,
or about the horse lot out of
(he reai h of animals thoy always
I do well.
PA PER 8 AND HOOKS.
The tin mer who fails to furnish
good papers, magazines and
hooks r his family does a
great injustice to them. He
may giv(> them sullicient food,
shelter and clothing, hut he does
the same ior his horses and cat
tie, if lie is a humane master.
There are half a dozen dollar
magazim s that are really good.
Then nit re are papers relating to
I ' every department of farm work.
A tew good books will entertain
ami instruct a family the whole
year. Start out by getting a
good dictionary, a map of the
| world, one county and church
j paper, one or two good agricultural
papers, two magazines, one
general and the other suited for
the wife and daughters. Aside
from the dictionary and map the
cost would not be exceeding $5.
Then some excellent books may
I hp bought for 25 to 50 cents each.
They ar? not trashy, but good,
standard literature. Ten dollars
invested in papers and books
would go far towards educating
the boys and girls and making
the h- ine bright and happy.
J UK WOOD PKODLEM.
During the last ten years iu the
counties abounding in cotton
mills there has been a great de
tnand foi firewood. One consequence
is that wood is getting
i quit? scarce. Farmers are haulI
leg it six to teu miles to towns.
| Occasionally wood may be seen
I on the market that has been
hauled fifteen miles. Of courpe

are destroying timber faster than
the growth. It will become
scarcer and scarcer and the price
will go higher than it is at present.
We advise farmers to plant
waste lands in trees. The hillsides
and the ravines that are
numerous in the up-country will
produce a large amount of firewood
in a few years. The old
field pine is perhaps the quickest
growth. It requires about
twenty years for that to attain
much size. We know such lands
that will give 15 to 25 cords to
the acre and the pines have made
most of their growth in twenty
years. Any of the oak family,
popular or sweet gurr. will grow
rapidly. On iirtle streams

for ten yearn with dyspepsia. He
spent hundreds of dollars for
medicine and without receiving
any permanent benefit. He says
"On* night while feeling excep

the merits of Kodol Dyspep

soon get large enough for firewood.
Another suggestion we
make is that the farmers use
their timber economically. When
cutting wood select dead trees,
or the crooked ones that have
dono their host. Leave all the
young, vigorous timber. One
mav cut his winter sunnlv of
rrv w"
wood from a few acres of land
and really improve its condition.
There are stumps enough on
some farms to make a considerable
amount of firewood. The
land is greatly improved by tak
ing them up.
SOMK HINTS FOR THE FUTURK.
A seriouh condition confronts
many farmers in this State. In
some sections all crops were
short. In the lowor part of Richland,
certain sections of Orangeburg
and Darlington and other
counties there is complaint of
| hard times. The male laborers
have deserted the farms in Richland
county and gone to railroads,
turpentine districts and other
public works. The women and
children loft behind are in destitute
circumstances. Hoth land
lord and tenants are in a bad
way. What is the remedy !
The rye sown for pasture was
killed by dry weather in many
places. The late sowing could
not get up on account of the cold.
Very few oats have been sown.
We advise farmers to how rich
lots in rye and oatR or barley
I now. Break deep, manure well
land how enough seed. If put in
with a drill and harrowed a time
or two they will furnish green
feed bp the middle of April. The
lots thus sown may be planted in
corn and peas the first of June.
The landlord who has good hands
should give them work the year
round. There is clearing, ditching,
subsoiling, wood cutting and
repairing out houses and farm
roads always needed. Put the
men to work on such jobs as
these. Ah soon aftter the first of
January as possible start the
plows and prepare for the next
crop.
?J-* r

supplies will be diiHcult to Recure
next year. The merchants
will not be able to furnish large
quantities of goods on time.
Owing to the stringency in the
money market time prices will
be high. Let the landlords make
ai raugementfl with his hands to
furnish them. He then can con
trol the crop and sell when he

The Wise Course For the Farmer
Correspondent Cotton Plant.
Cotton has been an interesting
subject for many years. It grows
more interesting as each year's
crop is marketed. The changes
in the price of cotton have a wide
felt ell'ect upon the finances ot
the civilized world. The sudden
rise or tall of one cent per pound
in the price ot lint cotton makes
and unmakes tort ones in a day.
These things make it important
tor the farmer to study the
supply and demand for cotton.
If the crop is a tew thousand
bales in excess of the demand,
the entire crop sells lor less than
it should. If on the other hand
it falls below the demand, the
price advances beyond the real
value, lience it is a matter of
vital importance to the farmer to
know how much is wanted and
how to make just about that
quantity.
Just now the supply is short of
the demand, and the price is very
high. This is likely to cause a
largo majority of farmers to wish
to plant, more cotton next, season.
They should he very careful not
to do this. As soon as the crop
is plamed, estimates of the mini
her of acres planted will he
made. If it is thought that an
increased acreage has been plat*
ed, the price will ho lowered and
this will prevent the next crop
from bringing the price it should.
Again if large quantities of commercial
fertilizers are bought,
this will he used to lower the
price. What then is the wise
course for the far infer to pursue?
First, do not increase the acre
age. Do not plant as much
much as you did in 1903. Hut
you can prepare the land belter
and make more per acre, and
they cannot estimate this so as to
alfect the price.
Secondly, use fertilizers with
more judgment. Do not buy ajl
kinds of low grade mixtures; buy
the material you need, and mix
for cotton.
We see that it is not the acres
you plant, but the bales that you
gin that makes the crop. Dis
eases and insects have much to
do with the yield. Ilence whatever
you can do to prevent, these
damages helps you. The United
Slates government is spending
large sums and doing all it can
to encourage you to grow varieties
that will resist the disease and
get ahead of the insects. You
can do a great deal in this direc
tion by looking after the health
of your cottou.
Weekly plants do not mature
heavy crops nor early crops. They
are also liable to all kinds ol
diseases, black rot, wilt, rust, boll
worm, or boll weevil, any and all

cut short or destroy late crops or
crops that are not vigorous. It
is well known that potash contributes
more to health and vigor
of cotton than any other mineral
Hence we should use this ingredient
freely. On many soils
it seems to bo able to entirely
prevent rust. Just how much
we should apply and how we
should apply it are not easy
questions to answer. Different
conditions will have much to do
with this. Generally speaking
high per cent, fertilizers are
cheaper. Hut kainit seems to
suit some soilf\ better than muriate.
Potash, by making the
plant healthy, enables it. to giyw
off earlier in the spring This
aiho causes ine oolls to be larner
and to hold on better. Thus it
increases the crop. Besides this
it causes a heavier crop of seed,
and as the lint proves from the
seed, it increases both the quan
tity and quality of the lint. Apply
broad cast, or in drill, from
two hundred to one thousand
pounds per acre.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest jQ
for its wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by druggists
in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
