Meeting The Cotton Situation.
(By W. C. Lassiter, Agronomist,
Arkansas Experiment Sta
tion.)
An established system of
farming cannot be changed over
night. The following recom
mendations are made in an ef
fort to suggest a means to make
the best of the situation for the
immediate present. This neces
sitates making the living at
home.
FOR THE LAND OWNER.
The owner should adopt a
system similar to the one out
lined. He should plant on his
own account the following crops:
5 acres of oats for each horse
fVio furm
6 to 8 acres of corn for each i
horse on the farm
1 acre of rye or wheat or oats j
for grazing purposes for each j
horse on the farm.
1 acre of sweet potatoes for
home supply and with which to
furnish seed potatoes for ten
ants and others.
2 acres of peanuts, 2 acres of
i early cowpeas, and 2 acres of
Dwarf Essex rape with oats for
hog pasture.
1 acre of sorghum in drill,
half to be used for syrup and
half for stock feed
All of the land should be
seeded to cowpeas or soybeans
and as soon as the oats are har
vested. All corn land should
have cowpeas planted in the
rows with the corn very early in
the season.
. The landlord should keep suffi
cient hogs to supply every fam
ily on the place.
Each landlord should keep suf
ficient cattle to furnish cows for
each family on theplace. (These

to be devoted to English peas,
| bunch beans, pole beans, butter

j corn may be canned for wintei
use. Each tenant should be en
| couraged to keep two hogs foi
[each horse worked. Each ten

When I get to be old I ain’t goto'
to find It out by countin’ up to see,
nor by my ■whiskers, nor by my gums,
uor none of them signs. They'll all
fool you. No, sir! But one of these
times I’ll get throwed down, and I
won’t bounce back. Then I’ll know
it’t all over. When a man gets that
way, he’s old. Old, see? It don’t
make any difference how much longer
he lives after that, he don’t ever get
tny older.—"Billy Foi-tana."

For boys and young men friendship
is a prime necessity of existence,
^’hen a man has established himself

wife* and family have absorbed him,
Pe may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship But as long as he is young, un
married and unsettled, he is as de
pendent on friendship as on air or
j tood.

Finds Cure for Epilepsy
After Years of Suffering
"My daughter was afflicted with
epileptic fits for three years, the attacks
1 coming every few week3. We employed
several doctors but they did her no
good. About a
year ago w •
heard of Dr
Miles' Nervine,
and It certainly
has proved a
blessing to our
little girl. She Is
n o w apparently
cured and 13 en
joying the best
of health. It Is
over a year since
she has had a
fit. We cannot
speak :-jo highly
of Dr. M1I«;j' Nervine."
MRS. FRANK AN P ERSON,
Comfrey. Minn.
Thousands of children in thf
United States who are suffering
from attacks of epilepsy are a
burden and sorrow to their parents,
who would give anything to restore
health to the sufferers.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
is one of the best remedies known
for this affliction. It has proven
beneficial in thousands of cases
and those who have used it have
the greatest faith in it. It is not
a “cure-all,” but a reliable remedy
for nervous diseases. You need
not hesitate to give it a trial.
Sold by all Druauists. If the fi:st
