19--=? Farm and Fireside. Mr. Goodwin's Work. Mr. O. P. Goodwin, of Laurens, in charge of the Farmers' Union work for the Fourth District, writes The Farm ers' Union Sun as follows: Editor Farmers' Union Sun: I had the pleasure of addressing a large crowd of tho good citizens of An derson county at Friendship last Satur day. Some five or six hundred people were present, and the ladies furnished n bountiful spread, and good cheer was the prevailing feature of the day. lionea Path has a large and flourishing union at that place and they are getting ready to build a large warehouse at Honea Path at an early date. . . . Yours fraternally, O. P. GOODWIN. Laurens, S. C., Aug. 3, 1908. Crops Have Deteriorated. Capt. ('has. Petty, of the Carolina Spartan, says: . "Information from farmers of good judgment indicates that the cotton crop has deteriorated since July 1st. The general report is that the squares and bolls are thinly set and not in propor ti >n to the weed. In the dry section there is some shedding. In riding to Pauline last Friday and then back by a different road part of the way we saw about 11 miles of crops. Much of the corn along the road traveled is very poor. Some fair lots at a distance from the road were observed. We saw only one lot of cotton of any size that prom ised 1,200 pounds to the acre. There is much cotton along the road that will not make more than 100 pounds to the acre." Poultry Calendar for August. The duck laying season ends this month. The March hatched pullets should be gin to lay. All the old surplus stock should now bo marketed. Add linseed meal to the soft feed and place some rusty iron in the drinking vessels. It is not yet too late to canonize. ? Farm Journal. Has a Pel float. From The Farmers' Union Sun we reprint the following letter: "Dear Young Friends: I am so glad the editor has given us boys and girls a p.ige in his fine paper. Isn't that kind of him? And what good times we must htivc writing to each other. Now, I must tell you of the grandest visit that any boy ever did have, I know. It was to my uncle's home, Mr. William Brown, who lives in the country three miles below town. "Boys, he has just the finest goats that you ever did see, and so many of them, and all are just beauties, with their long coats of white fur. They are the fine Angora goats. Some came from Montana, some from Virginia and some from North Carolina. He paid good prices for them and they are just splendid, sure. There are 115 in his drove. Then he has Wyandotte chkik ens from Vanderbilt's Biltmore place, and bronze turkeys. My two other un cles who live near him, Mr. Thomas Brown and Mr. John Brown, have fine stock and poultry too. I have a pet goat that Uncle William gave me and I love it so much. Its name is Frank. Now, if this letter don't fall in the waste basket I will write again. "Your little friends, "PIERCE AND RALPH MOORE." Laurens, S. C. Watermelon Rind Preserves. A writer in the Progressive Farmer says: Here is my recipe for making water melon rind preserves. Cut all the red from the inside and peel tho green from the outside of tho rind with a sharp knife. Then cut into small pieces and boil in clear water until tender, then take out and drain the water from them. Next, weigh them. To every pound of rind use one and one-half pounds of sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar and water and drop the rind into the boiling syrup and into this slice lemons. Use t wo lemons to a gallon of preserves. Boil until the rind looks clear and the syrup is thick. Place in jars while hot and make sure to have sufficient syrup to cover them and then seal. Brother farmer, how many articles do you buy every year that could be produced on your farm? How much do you pay for them? Count that much as loss. ('<>w peas and red clover will do land more good than almost any amount of commercial fertilizer. Even the stub ble and roots make good humus and humus is the life of soil. Very Large Apples. Mr. D. S. Lynch, of the county, brought to The Advertiser office Friday two very large red apples of his own cultivation. One of the apples meas ured 13] inches in circumference and the other 12 inches. Tho apples are perfectly formed, well matured and sweot. I toes every farmer in Laurons county keep an account of the cost of every crop and the returns for it? This is the only , not hod to learn which are money crops and which are not. / LOCAL AND PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. J. S. Bennett spent n few days last week at Hendcrsonvillc and Lake Toxaway.

A Cnmdon shoo man sold a pair of nhoes recently to a woman and after she had left the store discovered that ho had made the mistake of giving the customer two rights instead of a right and left, as Is customary. Rush ing after the womnn, ho offered to make tho wrong right, but was curtly Informed that the customer was satis fied, as she had a wooden leg on tho left aide anyhow and needed only rights. Now the dealer considers him self filmllnnimed, because for the price of one pair of shoes ho has really sup plied the customer with two pairs.? Kennebec Journal. August time tolls on the nerves. But that spiritless, no ambition feeling can be easilyjand quickly altered by taking what is Known by druggists every where as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Within <M hours after beginning to use the Resto rative improvement will be noticed. Of course full health will not immedi ately return. The gain, however, will surely follow. And best of all, -you will realize and feel your strength and ambition as it is returning. Outside influences depress first the "inside nerves," then the Stomach, Heart and Kidneys will usually fail. Strengthen these failing nerves with Dr. Shoop's Restorative and sec how quickly health will be yours again. Sold by Palmetto Drug Co.
