A Financial Basis.

A Financial Basis.
A colored man driving poor horse
attached 10 q small! wagon loaded with
fodder was accosted by friend and
brother on the street as follows: "Hy,
dar, Sam, what for yoq bring dat fodder
here? Why don't goa give it to dat
poor horse?" Sam replied: you fool.
nigger; dere's money in de fodder, but
dar amt no money in de horse" Many
farmers seems to act on the same prin-
ciple: there is money in cotton. but no
money in corn and oats; and therefore
they raise all cotton.

Two More Runoffs.

Two More Runoffs.
The Laurens train ran off about nine
miles above Newberry Saturday. There
was nobody hurt, and the damage to
the cars was not greet.
Tuesday the passenger coach ran off
near kinard's. There were several
passengers on board, and they got a
pretty rough jolting, the train running
fifty yards after the coach left the irons.
The coach. which was a fine Delaware
make. was pretty badly smashed; but
nobody was hurt.
This thing has got to be monotonous,
and if it don't stop somebody will get
hurt sure.

STOVES. S.-Dr. Franklin invented a
stove in 1745. Previous to that time
there were stoves in Holland and Ger
many. Frankiin'S stove. however, was
a great improvement on all that had pre-
ceded it. In 1771 be invented several
other stove, one for burning bitUminous
coal, which would consume its own
smoke, and had a downward draught
and another. intended for the same puT-
pose, having a basket CRATE or cage,
with movable bars at the top and bot
tom, supported by pivots at the centre,
and which, after being filed and kin
died at the top. could be inverted. and
so burn from the base. The next in
ventor of stoves, ovens and heating and
cooking apparatus was Count Rumtord,
who, between 1875 and 1895, devised
several improvements, all intended to
ecOnOmiZe fuel and heat. 1t may be
stated that the box stove now in the
State House at Richmond. Va, bears
date of 1770, is one of the sO-called Hol-
land stoves, and was probably imported
from England, as the castings, though
PUde, are superior TO the American cast
ing OF that day. For cooking purposes
Count RumtOTd S cooking stoves or
ranges, lined with friedrich or soap
stone. and with ventilatinC oven, that
bad been introduced into New ork as
early as 1913. and into Boston about
1900. were gradually coming into use,
and between that time and 1925 there
was, considering the period and the OBJ
stacies, considerable activity it this
branch of manufacturers, which have
been increased annually ever since.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM.-Straw
berries are as easily raised as potatoes
and corn, and every farmers family
should have an abundant supplyof them
This delicious and wholesome fruit has
never received the attention it deserves,
especially among farmers and those who
have gardens of their own. Ripening
as it does, when all other fruit is out of
season, and in the heat of summer,
when its refreshing qualities are so
much needed for health and comfort, no
one should fail to have a sufficient sup
ply for home use. a small piece of
ground with a little attention, will
yield an abundant supply for family
during the season. No other crop is
more certain. Farmers, who supply the
world with food, too often deprive
themselves of Strawberries and cream
so enjoyable and prOmOtive to health in
the summer Many are kept from grow
ing this fruit by suppOsing that there is
something mysterious about its culture.
This is all a mistake, for by following a
few simple directions, for every farmer
can as easily raise straw wbeITies as corn.
As soon as the ground is in tillable or
der in the spring, select a piece of land
that has been cultivated IN some hOed
crop never plant strawberries OIL sod.
L
blowing and narrowing until the ground
is smooth and level, then stretch line
as a guide to plant by. Plant in rows
three feet apart, and set the plauts 20
inches apart in the row. As soon as the
fruit stems, or blossoms, appear, cut out
with a pair of shears. 1t viii ruin a
strawberry plant to let 1t bear the same
year it is planted.
The space between the plants should
be kept well cultivated, and all weeds
hoed out, but never let ''eaTth up'' or
cover the crown in hOeing, as it will
ruin the plant. Let few of the first
runners grow, so as to partly fill the
space in the row, but later in the season
cut off all the runners that start. When
cold weather sets in, about the first of
December, cover the plants with clean
wheat straw two OF three inches deep.
In the spring when the plants begin to
grow, rake the straw off and leave it be-
tween the rows this will keep the
ground moist and increase the yield.

SPARROws PRACTISING LYNCH LAW.
"A colony of sparrows in ShaTrOnville,
Ohio, were lately aroused TO a state of
twittering excitement over the conduct
of one of their number who had taken
forcible possession of a cosy habitation
to which, in the opinion of the comuu-
ity, he was not entitled. The case was
debated at length before committee of
the whole, and, as every member was
determined to be heard, it was not until
evening that a conclusion was reached,
But the moment the hearing was closed
sentence was executed. The intruder
was elected, and. ds he emerged from
bis apartment, was riotously hooted by
the Indignant populace. The next
morning he was found hanging dead
from limb of the tree by a piece of
string which had been wound twice
around his neck. About noon a com
mittee of six 5parrows pecked the string
in two, and the body of the malefactor
fell to the earth amid chorus of dismal

CURIOUS BENEFITS OF DROUGHT
Drought is dreaded by farmers and gar
deneIs, because it Injuries grass and
grain, fruits and flowers. But scientific
observers testify that it brings, as a COM
pensation, subtle gifts which enrich the
soil and increase future crops.
Nature has stored in the earth rich
supply of phosphates, sllicates, carbon
ates and other chemical salts essential
to vegetable life. Those on the surface
of the ground are soon exhausted, and
the large supply at greater depths are
often unIeached by sub-sOil plOughing.
But a drought is natures sGb-sOil to
bring up the rich nutriment below.
When the surface is parched the sun
draws moisture from the deeper soil,
and this moisture brings with it, in So
luton, salts of lime and magnesia, Of
potash and soda The moisture evapor-
ates but leaves the salts for the use of
plants and grain.
Drought, therefore, does a double
work. 1t parches the surface and less
ems the present crop. 1t forces up rich
nutriment from the deeper soil and en-
laTges future crops.
