Wad - Anderson of Laurens tin.- the following IhtcrcnUug article in the recent Issue of The Farmers Unl a >;ui : I have ope ??;' alfalfa s.hj.t ,vas seeded eighteen years ago, Hind have cut it for hay from t ivo to rive times in the season. I have another Io; of one ami one quarter acres, IDOL thai (after preparing the land well by plowing, manuring with stable manure and harrowing) I seed ed the latter pari of September, with two bushels of oats, crimson clover to pounds, ar.d 20 pounds of alfalfa. The ii< v.! spring (May I cut a good crop of oats und crin..'on cloVbr, and In August I eul a fairly good cut ting <?:' alfalfa. The i fond year iw'rtmui rosrrelng) I cut one cutting (without rose dlhs) I cut one cutting May and In Juno, July and September, i Cot the alfalfa again, imikltlg four chttlngs. the second year; I did the iahme Iii the third year. It Is this in regard lo the clover resecdiug it nftlf. If the olovoi i., f at bofot'e Ii is to ripe, it will sprout from same root and mature seed, and thai is ???hy it rosceds Itself, Now (his is the fourth year and i expect to get tie .me number of cuttings if it is sen on a hie. I had stable manner bfoadensted over the iol the first two years, and i mean to lime one lot this yehr and see ti-? result. Every Inhd OWner should have a lot of alfalfa. for when you once get it set. you have It ? long as yon want it. and any kit d of stock will eat it in preference to ..a. other kind (if hay. It will no* slobber your horses like red Clover; b come; in earlier and will in; .? more tons per acre that the clover will with the same treatment, because it can bo Ctll more times dur ing the season. I SCO that it is be l?g ground into meal and sold to the trade to take the place of other feed stuff. It is to he hoped that our farmers will turn their attention now. to stock raising and home supplies, and not enslave the.\selves so In yaislng too much cotton. DR. FEININELL TALKS ON HEART DISEASE Toxi of an Interesting Paper Head He tore (lie I.unions Count} Medical Society. Following is an interesting paper, read before the Laurens County Med ical society at a recent meeting, by Dr. J. I.. Jfonnell of Waterloo: Mr. President: In presenting this brief paper for discussion today. 1 do not expect to be able to tell yon any thing that yon do not already know; but 1 wroto it hoping that it would gel you into such n discussion of tho subject that 1 would I able to learn something neu about Ii myself. During tho past half-eentrj one of the most important points to thrust Itself upon tin profession is. "The Increased Frequency 01 tioart l>e sease. It is an us to hear < f son. ? in .. wbumn or child dying Of hen ft any physician who has Iciuo twenty-live yean pract lei d mod regarding this increase mid ho will t- :: you that the mortality la on the upward trend. That this subject Is a very difficult and perplexing Olio I readily admit; bill at tin Same tit; ?! think a partial solution can )>?? allowed If nothing more. And just here, 1 insist, that we. as medical men, arouse ourselves to Its importance as evasion and Indifference can m> longer be accepted. Heart disease cniiuot be communi cated in in one person to another and for this reason, possibly, many deaths are not reported. So then, the gathering <>: reliable statistics is sometimes impossible. This increase in mortality seems to bo general throughout the United states and not confined to any locality. Dur ing the past oighteeil months Dr. Thos. DaiilllgtOU, health commissioner of New York city, sent letters to presi dents of health boards of fifty of the largest cities in tin- United States, asking if they noted an increase in the mortality from heart disease. The territory covered by these inquiries readied from Maine to California, and the answers received were instructive and Interesting. Beginning at the North all the cities consulted showed an increase in their death rate. I.os Angeles, Cal. showed a great increase, having doubled her rate in fifteen years. Coming Into the South. Nashville, Tenn., doubled her rate in thirteen years. New Or leans showed a persistent high death rate. The middle Slates cities of St. Louts, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cin cinnati! showed that their rate from heart disease was increasing. It is sah! on good authority that during the last year, 275.000 school children were examined in New York ami of this number It.500 hail heart dis ease in some form. Surely these con ditions did not exist bfty years ago? Wo are told again that during the past ten years 1,23-1 Children have die.', in New York and NV.v York is by up means an exceptio!:.

Lul us mention briefly some of the causes which, In. directly, bring about this increased mortality: first -The strenuous life the Amer ican people are living together with the mental and social unrest of our people. Physically wo need rugged Constitutions to hold us up at the pace we are traveling. Individually we have undermined the vigorous health of our forefathers and \V8 are bringing Into the world children whose physi cal status Is even less hardy than our own. Second?-The effort prodticod by high strung, nervous tension as a re .suit of social and business competition. We, as a people, are living too fast. ^ Third?Certain diseases as rheuma tism, grip and alcoholism. Fourth?Over-indulgence In athletic sports in our colleges and schools. Fifth?Cigarette smoking and the use of tobacco. Sixth?Occupation and habits. Seventh-"-The use of coal tar prod ucts by the profession. The medical profession has before it an opportunity Of great vital mo ment in teaching the doctrine of right living and advocating a more whole some attitude towards life.

I sell high-grade Pianos, prize winners at all of the great expositions. I do not haul Pianos around, peddle them, and leave them on trial. My companies are reliable and are able to Make Good Every Piano. This peddling of Pianos is very expensive and the purchaser pays the expense every time. It is strange that sensible people will buy that way. Don't you know if you have a Piano ordered direct from the factory, it can be sold on a shorter profit? it's injurious to Pull and Haid Pianos About. It loosens them and in a short time they will be "broken down." You can't do better anywhere. 1 can sell NEW UPRIGHT PIANOS From $150 to $750 I can show you many makes of Player Pianos, and will give you the lowest prices and satifactory terms.
