Farming NsIlh ana s5atlI.

The Southern farmer IS now being
told that the 4 tor al his hard
ships lies in v crops. If nothing
but cotton is lsgdt ~ course corn and
wheat and n be shouulgl a
matter Of fai NO l,sslalai1i Inc
North, and lh las 3 oiIl u !. s \ |jaos-
perity witt mixed farming, while the
South with its single crop Is, poor cad
in debt. SO the planters are urged to
raise more grain and pigs and less cot
ton, and an increase In the acreage of
wheat and corn IL paraded as the surest
sign of States prosperity.
But in the North the tendency is di-
rectly the other way. The old plan
here was for the farmer to raise upon
his own land almost everything he re-
quired, and for him and his wife to
work with their own hands almost
everything they used and wore as well,
but this rule has been more and more
departed from until in recent years
special farming has come in which fur
nishes counterparts to the 'all cotton
plantations. Take the New England
dairymen. They buy wheat and corn
from the West, often all they use, and
one manin an out-of-the-way Vermont
town has protitably devoted his acres
to grass and bought potatoes for his
own table. There Is growing feeling
here that mixed farming is profitless,
except In degree necessary for eco
nomical management, and that in the
competition which has come with rail-
roads and modern appliances there is
little chance of success without taking
advantage OF the division of labor, in
the wider sense, which is brought about
by "specialties.
The fact is that, North and South,
the question is merely one of economy,
and not Of principle. It is certain that
some Vermont farmers who feed Illi-
nois corn to their cows make more
money than Others who raise their OWE
and plainly more than the farmer could
by raising it himself and that ends
the argument. 1t cost money TO carry
corn from Chicago to New England OF
Georgia, and each section and each far
mer must determine whether it is
cheaper to raise it, or to raise some
thing to buy it with. Because the cot
ton planters are not generally prosper
GUS it is not necessary to blindly adopt
farming as cure-all. The South has
a change In progress akin to that which
has left the old-fashioned farmers in
our own " hill towns wondering that
the old methods do not bring the old
profit How do make both lends

lima farmer the other day, Il use inn

TO Preserve Clothing from Moths:
Carefully shake and brush woolens
early in the spring, so as to be certain
no eggs are in them; then sew them up
ina cotton or linen cloth, putting al piece
of camphor gum into each bundle;
place in trunks or moth-proof box.
No moth will approach while the smell
Of the camphor continues. When the
gum Is evaporated it must be renewed.

A Story Of James Gordon Bennett.

ut the Union Club toward night, having
made manyycalls. He sat down in d
chair. and, observing that some MEM
bers of the club We're presenting Peter,
the venerable porter of the club, with
iive-dollar bills as New Years Presents,
he called him over, and fishing down
into one of his pockets brought up a
bill.
"Peter, my friend" he said, without
looking at the bill, stake that.
THANK you, sir,'' said Peter, his
eyes glistening at the sight of a twenty
dollar bill.
Bennett gazed at him for second,
said slcepily: "Wait, Peter and div

up another bill.

This performance gwentnu ferKtsN
five minutes. Every time that \ NJ us

was called back, and the presentation
of every kind of bill from one to fifty
dollars went on to the amusement Of
the spectators. When no more bills
came forth Bennett stopped and went
away. Peter asked some Of the mem
bers what he had best do with his hatful
of money. He was advised TO. ask MIR.
Bennett the next time he came whether
he had not given him by mistake more
than he intended. So the next day
when Bennett appeared Peter said to
him:
"Mr. Bennett, l think you gave me

intended last night.
