I Writing to the Gardener's CkroriicU on fruit growing aod forestry in South Afrlc», Mr R W Adlam the curator of Joobert park, Johannebburg, saya the prospodtf ' for both branches of horticulture when ones the war is over will be of the brightest, He asks how much longer ehaH they submit to pay sixpence each for Taßmani»n apples, or consume Melbourne jaz&Bt Oaliforni.in prunes, and American peaohei and pears. In a small model orchard established in the park jasb before the war, on unirrigated land, he has capital gnp9t» plams, peaches, apricots, figs, nectarines, and apples. There is nothing soeclal In the soil there; there are millions of acrea in the country just as good* Afc the close of the war, when the much endarinff country begins fco work BKain t there" wifl be thousands of poor Dutch who will h* absolutely destitute. A State Foraabrf Department shoaW take some of these people in hand, and teach them how to draw potential wealth from the soll— which has been so dearly paid for—ln the shape of timber or fruit. More wonderful than all the gold of tbe Rand is the wealth in the soil still lying untouched by human hand.

We had jaat removed from Blackbridge to the Nai Nai when my daughter Ehel had tho misforv.nntj to stop on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, catting into tho ball of the foot md laying open the big toe in two halvof. We had it attended to, but it seem?d to bo getting wor.se, when, about five days after tha accident, we were adviat'd to use PL&i\- TEKOA (tINTMENT, being assured that PLANTIfIKOA. wonld soon hoal it. At ihia time it was very bad, the foob swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and lot ked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, we faithfully applied PJantckoa Ointment, and without going into details, Gnfllje to say that in a shore time the foot was healed, she was able to pub her boots on and attend school agiin. I would also 1-ke to state that I uaed Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a , gathering or ab-cess in the eae. He was home from work for some time with it and was in a tad Btata. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that lb would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case PJantek'>s Ointment was success fully applied, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yonrs sincerely, Mus Jank Swan.

It Is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2a per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet the demand for this ointment from farmers and others, for use with horses and cattle, I it has been placed on the market in half pound tina afc 4s 6d- Unsurpassed for sore shoulders, girth galls, etc. Have you tried PL AH TEKOA, the Great Herbal Remedy for the Blood CHEAP MONEY CHEAP MONEY IN SUMS OF JBIOO to SIQ.QQO /10UNTRY, CITY, AND SUBURBAN FREEHOLDS AT <\\ TEE CENT.
