FIRE PRoTECTIoN'-We are glad to
see that since the Hall fire everybody
has come to agree with us that we need
some efficient means of extinguishing
fire. The ADVANCE has ''barked at

around the park and the ridiculous
brine barrels in that Job" house. We
| hope now that the village Council, in
| any steps it may take, will be deliber-
| ate and give us some means for extin-
! gushing fire which will be efficient and
not he the laughing-stock of the town.

MINED FARMING.

No year since we settled in Mobiles
county has afforded us good an illustra-
ton OF the wisdom Of mixed farming as
the present. Wheat will not average
above half crop, but corn, oats. flax,
barley and other crops are better than
ever. Many farmers are now regrettlng
that they did not put out more corn
and flax. We cannot, of course, ADAM
don wheat raising, but there is but one
wise course for our farmers and that
course is to pursue mixed Turning
Small Farms and mixed crops Should De
the motto in Mobiles county. Big farms
and wheat crops will keep Mobiles Il poor
county.
GRAssnOPPERs.-T little swarm
of grasshoppers has abort disappeared.
True, they left their "cartls - dur
ing their brief call, but it will be seen
by reference to our County News de-
partment that the ''cards " are disap-
pearing rapidly. The grasslopper does
we'll for a scare-crow but he has ceased
to be of use for anything else. For
two years he has not injured the crops
in this county, and had the wheat
turned out we'll this season, Mobiles
would have scored two good crops in
succession. AS it is, we must count
wheat out this year and rcvel in the
abundance of everything else.
