"I used to be troubled with a weakness peculiar to women," writes Mrs. Anna Jones, of Kenny, I1L "For nearly a year, I could not walk, without holding my sides. I tried several different doctors, but I grew worse. Finally, our druggist advised Cardui for my complaint I was so thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever. I am in fine health at 52 years." The Woman^Tomc We have thousands of such letters, and more are arriving daily. Such earnest testimony from those who have tried it, surely proves the great value of this vegeta ble, tonic medicine, for women.

Beginning next session, Clemson Collego will give an intensive one yeur Agricultural Course to young farmers who desire to learn the Im portant yet simple fundamental prin ciples which underlie succosBful ag riculture. This course will begin October 1st and close June 1st, and will be open to young men eighteen years old and over. The course Includes none of the usual acadomtc branches such as Mathematics, English, History, etc., but Is confined to a study of the prin ciples of crop production, horticulture, animal husbandry, dairying, etc. Ag ricultural Arithmetic and simple farm bookeeplng will be taught, and Instead of the usual English branches, a sim ple course In parliamentary practice and public speaking will be given, suf | flclent to enable the student when he r?eturns to his community to preside at a public meeting or to hold a farm ers' institute. The purpose of the course is to take young men 18 years old or older, who] know the practical side of fnrming | and make of them better and more scientific farmers, and community leaders and builders as well. An elementary rural school educa tion will be required of those who ap ply for the course. Ability to read and write intelligently, and a fair knowl edge of Arithmetic constitute the re quirements. The cost of the course, including fees, uniforms, board, lodg ing, heat, light and laundry, will be $117.55. Those who are able, will pay $40.00 additional for tuition. The Minis scholarship bill pased at the 1912 session of the General As sembly provides for scholarships In the one year course as follows,?one from each county and seven from the State at large. Each scholarship is worth 100 and free tuition. The trustees designate In each county the most representative organization of farmers. The Executive Committee of this organization, on or before July 1st. recommends to the President of the College three or more young men over eighteen years old, who have done worthy agricultural work during the preceding year or In any previous year. These young men are notified of the recommendation and go up for competitive examination on July 12 at the county court house. They stand their examinations along with regular four year scholarship applicants, but the examination is different and cov ers only the elementary common school branches. In any county where there is no organization of farmers, the Di rectors of the Agricultural Depart ment of Clemson College solicits opin ions from representative farmers of the county, and their recommendations are used as would be the recommen dation of an Executive Committee. The seven state-at-large scholarships are recommended In the same way, except by the Exec tu I ve Committee of the most representative state organiza tion of farmers. The young men rec ommended for scholarships at large stand their examinations at their county seats. The examination papers are pre pared and graded by the Clemson fac ulty and the award announced by the Secretary of the State Hoard of Edu cation. Only young men recommended will be allowed to compete for the one year agricultural scholarships. The Hoard of Trustees has desig nated the Farmers' Fnlon as the most representative organization in this county. As the time is snort in which to make recommendations, it is earnest ly requested that In counties having an organization, that Interested par ties give to the members of the Exec utive Committee of the organization names of desirable applicants. In those counties having no organization, farmers are requested to write to Prof. Harper, giving names of worthy young men who would like to compete for the scholarships. Recommendations for the seven scholarships from the State-at-large should be sent to Mr. E. W. Dabbs, President of the Farm ers' Union. Maysvllle, S. C. If the Farmors' Union designated for any particular county is no longer ac tive, names should be sent to Prof. Harper as In the case of counties hav ing no organization. W. M.

The- following experience of our Mr. . A. Martin should carry Its own les son with It, and It is a lesson many farmers need to learu: "The other day I was coming out or the postofilce with a hlg bundle of mall In my hand. A friend stopped me for a chat and during the conversa tion I saw his eyes riveted upon the top envelope of the mall l was holding. I looked, too, and some breeder of Du roc-Jersey hogs had written us a letter. There, upon the envelope, I saw in red Ink, printed upon neat but Inexpensive paper, the picture of a beautiful Duroc-Jersey boar. Over the cut were the words, 'Return In five days to,' and under the cut was the name and address of the writer say ing that he was a breeder of Duroc Jersey swine, Sh'-opshire sheep and Rhode island chickens. "The man to whom I was talking said: "By Jlmminy, I've been looking for a Duroc-Jersey man; and he took the name and address. When I open ed the mall, I found two other adver tisements of the very same broed of hogs?only the letters were written on plain stationery?and one of them with a hard lead pencil. Thus, one man probably made a sale that would pay for his entire stationery?and the other fellows missed a chance be cause they had 'economized' by using, cheap, nameless paper and envelope." Even If Mr. Martin's friend had known that the other breeders had Durocs for sale, the probability is that he would have written first to the man who used good stationery, Just as anyone else would. That a breeder does not have business stationery in dicates first of all to the man who gets a letter from him that he is not much of a breeder anyway. Then he has to waste energy to prove this im pression wrong. Hy all means, if you are a business farmer?as, of course, you are?have some stationery printed telling just what your line of farming is. You do not need anything fancy?certain ly no "frills," nor do you need ex pensive stationery; but good neat pa per you must have, and good neat printing you should insist upon. Nor should the farmer limit his printing to his letter-heads and en velopes. He should label what he sells If It is of good quality, so that the buyer may know where to get more like it. Here Is another story told by Mr. Martin: "Recently I was waiting for a train at Hupelo, IMss. Standing on a truck in front of the express office I saw in a crate a beautiful Collie puppy and a Berkshire pig?one in each end of the crate. Tacked upon the crate was an attractive shipping tag, giving the name of the shipper, stating that he was a breeder of Berkshire swine. Homer Pigeons, Collie dogs, and In dian Runner ducks. I saw no less than a dozen people walk up, look at the puppy and pig and then take out a pencil and paper and write down the address given on the tng." Did that man's little bill for print ing prove a profitable investment? Give the farm a name, put the name j on your letter-heads and envelopes, i and as a label on the things you sell, j and see if it does not make you feel a littie bit prouder of youi business I and keep you eager to make the farm and what it yields good enough to justify the name. The printing will not cost much. The publisher of your local paper can do It for you and will be glad to help ? Progressive Farmer. #100 He ward, $100.
