Failed in Health
"My mother died six years ago," writes Miss Ruth
Ward, of Jerseyville. 111., ' and left me to care for six
children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock
of her death, was too much for me.
"I failed in health. I was tired all the time and did
not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. 1 had
the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains.
"A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as it
had done her so much good, so 1 commenced to use it
and now I am in ,rood health."
Take CARDUI

The Woman's Tonic
Women's pains arc relieved or prevented and women's
strength is quickly restored, by Cardui, the woman's tonic.
You yourself know best if you need it, or not.
If you do need it, do not delay, but commence to use
it at once, livery day of delay, only lets you slide further
down the hill.
Don't wait, then, but bc^in to take Cardui today, for its
use, no matter how prolonged, cannot harm you and will
surely do you good.

HOW TO MANAGE FARM LABOR
Following is an Interesting article
on the matter or farm labor, written by
Mr. W. P. Hani., of Laurens county,
which appeared in n recent issue of
Tho Southern Cultivator^
JUst now it appears to us that an
article on farm labor and tho employ
ing of the laborer would be timely.
We employ the most Intelligent and
reliable help that we can got, be It
white or black. We prefer to have
about the same number of each. Then,
should there happen to be a negro
burying or something of the kind dur
ing our busiest season, we will have
enough whites left at home to carry on
the most important work. We lind the
whites more prompt about being on
time to begin work, which has its In
fluence on the negroes. The whites are
liable to become discouraged, then dis
satisfied, reatly to give up their crops
and go to the mills. When such is tin
case, we always try to make satisfac
tory settlement and let them go. Often
they como back and gather this same
crop thai they began in the spring.
Many of our tenants have been with us
for years, others go and come. This
roving, unsatisllable labor is a great
drawback to farming.
If circumstances would admit we
would employ only "wngo hands," have
all of our work done directly under
our own supervision or that of a su
pnrintendent. Cut. as that can not
he done we employ only a pari of our;
hands for wages. We prefer men with
families. We allow so much nn hour
for wages. Darin;; iho winter the wag-I
es only amount to about two-thirds as
much as they do during the summer
months. We rive ten per cent, addi
tional nt the i xplrution of tho contract
for faithful fulliliment, We make
we. kiy settlements. To ke-op ih;> time
we haye ?i conveniently arranged time

and children have a third crop, that Is.

cotton made, less one-third the guano

One of tho most Interesting and In
structive chapters In the second an

report compiled by Deputy Insurance
Commissioner II. A. Whnrton on build

In the matter of lire hazaard. In twen
ty-four out of eighty towns which were
inspected the conditions are reported
as "bad." Non-standard and defective
Hues are numerous, many of them be
Ing described as "brick-on-edge Hues."
Dllapltated buildings, known as "flre
tiaps" are allowed to stand in many
of the towns, a perpetual menace to
other buildings which would be Ii ist -
class risks but for the liability which
is ever present from such exposures.
It is encouraging to note that, while
gome few towns are reported as being
is only reasonably good condition, a
bOUl half of the total number which
were Inspected ate claimed to be in
good condition, clean streets, no dl

How
You
Your Cfobs?
O VOT' KNOW just what your cotton and corn
need, and are yon furnishing it in such quantities
as required and in such shape that the
pla.it can uMe it ?
Suppose you should put tire food for your stock in a
box, nail il up and place it in their trough?would you ex
pect them to thrive and grow fat?
Hardly !
Will, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy,
badly mixed fertilizers you are putting this same proposi
tion iii> to your crops?offering them plant food in such
shape that they can't get to it ?
Fertilizers, to do your crops any good must dissolve in
the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to
the surface during the day and sinking at night?passing
?nd repassing the roots of the plant, which absorb the food
contained in the water?and this is the only way in which
the plant can feed.
Therefore, when you buy fertilizer, you should do so
with the idea of furnishing food for your crop and on the
same principle that you should purchase food for your
slock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above all else these
should be In soluble form?the mechanical condition
of the fertilizer should be such as to permit the plant to
absorb every particle of it, and the goods should be manu
factured from materials that will not give up their plant
food at one time, but furnish a steady supply throughout
the entire growing season.
This is the fertilizer you should have and can |$et?
in only one way. It is impossible to produce a goods like
this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do
this at home with a shovel and a serein or buy it from
someone who has made it the same way?the on)/ differ
ence being in the quantity.
These materials must be ground to a powder, and it re
quins machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it
properly. They must then be so manipulated that w hen
complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is
exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one
part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too
little Potash, while another part would be exactly the
opposite?and all of it contain plant food locked up and
not available,
Remember that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no
test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pul
verize lumps and by the use of various means search out
the plant food ; your crop can't.
Von can take an axe, break open the box and gut the
corn ; your mule can't*
Don't risk a crop failure !
