The Lone Star Cultivator
Made by Southern Rock Island Plow Co.
Standard in Quality, Perfect in Adjustment.
The Lone Star is a cultivator made for the South and designed for the soil conditions
there. It is exceedingly strong and can be adjusted to suit the operator. The frame is
campact, rigid and so strong that it connot be sprung or twisted* in actual service, yet any
necessary adjustment is quickly made. The seat is hinged and can be raised or lowered
without any tools or can be folded forward on the frame out of the way when the cultiva-
tor is used as a walker. Perfect balance can bfc maintained, relieving the horses of all neck
weight, regardless of the weight of the operator, by means of the balancing lever which is
within easy reach from the seat. It is “up-to-now.” We have 17 styles of Cultivators.
We have 17 different styles Riding, Walking, Disc, Sled, four and six
plows. - Come and look through our stock if you wish to see the up-to-
date and best styles made. *£ <£
We carry the largest and most complete line of Implements, Wagons,
and Vehicles in the county. It will be money in your pocket to see us
before you buy.

Article on Fruit Culture.
The first essential for a commer-
cial orchard is the Sion. In order
to have healthy trees they must be
the product of healthy peach seed.
The second essential are the buds
with which they are budded., The
buds should be takeu from a tree
four years old. In transplanting
from the nursery to the field the
roots must not be allowed to dry
out, better heel them out before
commencing to set them in the field.
Would suggest to plant the trees
20x20 feet apart, and work just as
you would work a cotton crop.
After the orchard land has been
well broken p-epare by laying off
rows as straight as a gun barrel.
The beauty of the orchard largely
will depend on two things. First,
staaight rows, and second, well
proportioned trees.
After the ground has been
checked with guu burrel rows take
a spade, prepare the excavation in
each check a foot and a half deep,
set the tree with surface dirt pack-
ing well with the foot which will
give solidity of earth.
-Its a good idea to work cotton
betweed the peach rows for the first
two years, after which the orchard
should be worth without a growing
crop of any kind, however, it
ought to be kept clean of all vege-
tation.
The prunes from around the
body of the young trees should be
trimmed off while they are tender.
Care should be taken not to break
the bark on the body of the young
trees while pruning, When the
trees are two years old they should
be pruned all over. Clip the heav-
iest side of the trees the most in or-
der to proportion them. This
should be repeated for three win-
ters. This will give the trees
strength and solidly. Also the
fruit will he more of an equality.
Uniformity of fruit will help won-
derfully in grading the fruit which
is indespensible if the best market
price is obtained.
A short recapitulation and I am
thru with this article. Would sug-
gest if Jack County’s Fruit and
Truck Association expects to suc-
ceed in the fruit industry and ac-
complish results, that one of your
number be appointed to grow a
nursery stock with the understand-
ing that the membership buy stock
from him. Let the grower be ag-
gressive, industrious and honest to
the core; who will plant seed of
only healthy fruit. Let the mem
bership save the seed from the
peaches used. They are worth one
dollar a bushel. Also know you
are not deceived by the use of faulty
buds in grafting, and that you are
not getting the kind of fruit de-
sired.
Thousands of acres have been
planted in the south for Elbertha
peaches that are worthless because
of dishonest nurserymen. Care
for the orchard as stated in this pa-
per and you have a guarantee of
the greatest success.

published elsewhere in the News.

cA Hard Debt to Pay.
“I owe a debt of gratitude that can
never be paid off,” writes G. S. Clark,
of Westfield, Iowa, “for m rescue from
death, by Dr. King’s New Discovery,
Both lungs were so seriously affected
affected that death seemed imminent,
when I commenced taking New Discov-
ery. The ominous dry, hacking cough
quit before the first bottle was used, and
two more bottles make' a complete
cure.” Nothing has ever been equaled

all throat and lung complaints. Guar-

As it has been some time since I
wrote, will come again.
Farmers are jubilant over the
fine rain we had last Saturday and
are busy plowing corn, planting
cotton and preparing their land to
plant, and some are further along
with their work and have cotton
large enough to plow.
Mr. Herring, our new merchant,
j is doing a nice business which we
are glad to see.
Mr. Dodson, our teacher, closed
his second term last Friday by the
Literary Society rendering a nice
program. All who attended were
highly entertained, to say the least
of it, and think Mt. Home is not
surpassed by any community in
the Literary work.
Miss Allie Bass is visiting
friends in this community now.

Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. Troubles of
the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are
merely symptoms of a deeper ailment.
Don’t make the common error of treat-
ing symptoms only. Symptom treat-
ment is treating the result of your ail-
ment, and not the cause. Weak Stom-
ach nerves—the inside nerves—means
Stomach weakness, always. And the
Heart, and Kidneys as well, hare their
controlling or inside nerves. Weaken
these nerves, and you inevitably have
weak vital organs. Here is where Dr.
Shoop’S Restorative has made its fame.
No other remedy even claims to treat
the “inside nerves.” Also for bloating,
biliousness, bad breath or complexion,
use Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Write for
