Male Friends.

Most girls number among their
friends a few of the male persuasion
who are always ready for escort duty.
But do not allow these convenient
friends-not lovers-to become too
familiar, my dear girls. Let no man
touch you, except when you shake
hands, A real gentleman may fasten
you cloak in such a way that you
will scarcely know it. He may admire
an article of dress without examining
it. If he wishes to look at piece
of jewelry, take it off and hand it to
him. Put on your overshoes yourself.
Ifany young man should forget him.
self once, say nothing, but draw your
self away he wont do so the second
time. If he does, still say nothing, but
leave the room. In fact notice moth
ing annoying. Your very absence of
remark will express your displeasure
far more efectually than any words.
There is alwaysa way of retreat: the
door. You won't be troubled very
often-ifyou are, you will most likely
bring it on yourself. OF course you
will allow no man but your chosen
husband the privilege of touching your
lips with his. Indeed, if you are fully
protected by your own self-respect, no
true gentleman will ever advance far
enough to think of kissing you.
have used the term "true gentleman
This brings me to consider whom your
friends ought to be. Certainly moi
anybody and everybody; not any
chance acquaintance, picked up here
and there. No man ought to have thu
privilege Of visiting at your house
who is not known to be respectable, ant
who has not been introduced to you il
a proper manner by some one in whom
yon have confidence. If you exercise
care in forming acquaintance, vol
won't have to be very anxious abou
their behavior afterward. A girl VIII,
has never known what it is to posses
the friendship of men who neither wis

Fruit Drying in Warren.

We are glad to see our fruit grow
crs taking hold of the evaporation idea.
Already the work of evaporating the
early fruits has begun in Warren.
Many are getting machines, and many
others are only waiting to see how well
they do the work. We hope to see
large percentage of the fruit of those
counties around us evaporated and sent
to market at paying price, Let every
one who operates machine, follow
instructions and make their fruit bright
and nice so as to command the highest
market price. Push the work during
the season so as to get all the profit
there is in it.

Farmers Meeting.

Vice president Macon requests us to
say that he will call meeting Of the
farmers Of Warren county sometime
in July when they are through with
the press of their work. Mr.. Macon
desires that meeting, when called, to
be well representated from all parts of
the county. Every farmer, as far as
possible, should inform himself as to
the true condition and extent of the
various crops in his neighborhood.
The number of acres planted in corn,
cotton, oats, wheat, potatoes, grass and
clover, and their average condition.
Also a correct report Of the amount
and condition of fruit in the county. Let
the meeting be we'll represented and
each representative be well posted so
as to give correct reports. While this
may be farmers meeting, we would be
glad to see general meeting of all
classes who desire to see the county
and country prosperous. The prosperi-
W of the manufacturer, mechanic, law
yer, doctor, school teacher, and all
other business and occupations depend,
more or less, on the prosperity of the
agricultural interests of the country.
Let every body give one day and have
great turn out and good time.

by this means an intelligent idea as to

How to Enrich Land Cheaply.

To the Standard.
Every farmer has few cattle. If
he has ten head he ought to fence off
FIVE acres of land and pillow it as deep
as he can. Bring the cattle home at
night from the fields and shut them in
on the plowed land all night. Contin-
ue this for six months and pillow the
land again once in six weeks at least.
If you want the best results, plow at
least as often, and l believe once in.
four weeks would be better. The re-
suits will astonish those who never
tried it. 1t will now produce three
tons of good clover hay per acre, Or
twenty bushels of wheat, or ten barrels
of corn, per acre. Lands that pro-
duced no more than one ton of hay
per acre, Or eight bushels of wheat, or
twenty bushels of corn, after that
treatment will produce as stated above
In addition, the hay and grain pro-
duced is much better.
But | hear one say this is too trouble
some. True, it requires attention, but
little hard work. Have we not, how
ever, gained something, when by this
management we raise as much hay and
grain on one acre as we before raised
on three? After such treatment, we
pillow only one-third of the land to
make precisely the same amount of
grain or hay.
When we shall have made one piece
of five acres rich, let us move the fence
to another five acres and treat in the
same manner and so on from year to
year. Thus, with a few cattle we may
soon enrich considerable farm. All
that is required, is simply small in
dustral attention to mere details, with
out any wear Or tear of life. Having
thus fortified your lands, a sensible 70.
tatiOn of crops, with deep and thorough
cultivation, will preserve the fertility
of your land for many years if not In
definitely. If one has more or less
cattle he can extend Or diminish his
operations accordingly.
1t may be said that it is hardly posi-.
bic that so small number of cattle
could do so much. We have tried it
as herein stated with the most satisfac-
tory results. 1t is not, with us, guess
work or experiment. Experience has
made assurance doubly sure, and Sc,
cured bond of fate.
No industrious man, who tries it
once, will ever give up the practice,
but with his life. 1t will fill his barns
and granery and bring him wealth and
comfort, If stock drop their excre'
ment and urine on a hard surface, the
rains wash off most of it, and the wind;
evaporate the remainder, and the land
left no better. The loose earth, how.
ever, absorbs it all, and holds it fol
plant food, and the land blooms as the
rose. There is no good farming with
out cattle. Il. l.. Gardenhire.
