SOW WHEAT,
Farmers Cannot Afford to Neglect This
Crop.


There is nothing the matter with
| the seasons aud the Lands of the Pied
mont section when it COMES to rais-
ing wheat. In the old days before
the war, small farmers made twice
enough to supply their own wants
and ho.r was hauled from our mills
to Augusta and Columbia. People
living in towns could get supply OF
-four from any wheat mill in the
country. Seed wheat was always
abundant. Occasionally a partial
failure would occur FOR the varieties
were generally late.
Fresh lands were generally sown
then and the wheat was:put. in early
so that a good stand was secured be-
fore the freezes came. Now the best
land is saved for cotton. Wheat is
generally put off in an odd corner and
plowed in late in December without
preparation and, often. without ma
nure. About half the years partial
failure follows, as it ought to do. We
cannot hope to equal the big yields
of the Shenandoah Valley, or the
prairies of the North west, but by
sowing good land in time, we may
expect twelve to twenty bushels to
the acre.
Our farmers should SOW wheat lib
orally this year. The small amount
for sale in the country is worth Sl.25
q bushel. Fair dower-is retailing at
sS a barrel. Europe is demanding
very large quantities of American
grain. Many persons believe that
Wheat will go to $3.50 q bushel. That
would carry -four to s. : barrel. Can
our farmers afford to pay that when
their own lands will produce wheat
at less than 81 bushel? There are
thousands of acres of idle land that
would make good wheat if properly
prepared.
Of course there are farmers who
say that it will not pay to raise
wheat. The same ground planted in
cotton will buy twice the -four that
acre will make. Such farmers gen
orally buy their -four on liens. Take
one acre ard see how cheap wheat
may be raised.

the creek, and was using it with good
effect on the bear, when the movement
OF the struggle brought the contestants
to the edge of the waterfall at the
lower end of the pool. and they were
carried over it to the seething water
below, distance of twenty feet. The
water below the fall was very swift,
and bear and hunter, struggling in
each others grasp, were carried few
yards down and then over another cat
aract higher than the first These two
great plunges coolc d the ardor of both
combatants, and Joe made for shelly
ing rock on one side of the pool into
which they had been tumbled.
The rock was the only place about
the pool where foothold could be OBJ
tanned, and the bear swan for it also
1t was only jutting shelf, probably
six feet long and three wide, and Joe,
reaching the rock first, prepared to
dispute the possession of it with the
bear, who swan up open-mouthed and
whining. AS the bear came to the
rock and put its fore paws on it to
climb up Joe delivered tremenS Gus
kick directly in the bears face. The
rock was wet and slippery, and the
force of the kick threw Joe off his
feet and he slid off into the water
again and the bear renewed the fight
The pool in which they had been
tumbled by the plunge over the second
cataract was circular basin with
high, precipitous walls, and there was
no way to get out of it save by a mar
row passage between the rocks, where
the streams shot swiftly and then
tumbled over another ledge twenty
feet. Through that narrow passage
Joe and the bear were swept, and to-
gether they plunged over the third
precipice. This plunge was fatal to
the bear, for he fell on projecting
rock at the bottom and broke his neck.
Joe landed on top of the bear and es-
capped with jar that shook him up in
way that he remembered for many a
day. Joe got the dead bear to the
shore and pulled the body out. There
were very few clothes left on Joe. and
he was banged and bruised and bat
tered us if he had been dragged over
rocky field.
"'If that bar hadn't a had that mr.
fish hook jabbin' inter his tongue an
the top O. his mouth ev'ry time he
tried to shet them jaws O. his'n.' says
Joe, it'd ben all day with me. fur
he'd tore me clean open, with me
nothin' to fight him with but stone
an kick
Ever since that lively experience OF
old Joe's in Crooked creek ravine he
has never gone trout fishing without
gum. Y. Sun.

ABRAHAM LIScoLN's LOG CABIN.

eighteen feet in depth and nineteen
feet high. In 1885 an addition of the
same dimensions was built of oualxinp
aspen with small storage-room of four
feet in width between, making the en-
tire structure thirty-siX feet in length
Shortly after building the addition
young Abe left home, but made it a
duty to visit his parents twice year,
walking to the homestead that he
might save the expense of livery bills
Then he would walk six miles from the
cabin to the county seat and pay the
interest on money borrowed from the
school funds by his father to enter his
land.
His last visit to the old home was in
December, 1861, after his election to
the presidency. He cut a log, split it,
and carved his fathers name upon the
two boards, which he placed at the
head and foot of Thomas Lincoln's
grave in the Gorton cemetery. These
humble monuments are gone, and the
resting place of the great presidents
father Is now marked by handsome
granite monument. 1t was on this oc-
casion that his stepmothcr, to whom
Abraham was dcvotedly attached, said:
They'll kill You, my boy, and won't
see you again" She never did.
The ground on which the cabin stood
will be encircled by neat fence and
the spot memorialized by monument.
The association will cndcavor to pre-
serve the garden, with its wreath of
sage and hollyhocks to remind man
kind of the humble origin of great
man.

proceeded to send It after the others.
He had chewed but short time on the
trout when his jaw suddenly fell, and
J he lifted up his voice In most pitiful
howl. The hook had curved itself
somewhere in his mouth, and every
time he attempted to close his mouth
it would evidently push the hook
further in, and snap would come the
jaws open again, and tho bears howls
of pain would again fill the air.
"Old Joe, being bear hunter who
had tackled bears in almost every kind
OF situation. wasn't u moment in see
ing the peculiar position this bear had
got himself in, and he resolved to take
advantage of it at once. Swimming
ashore, he climbed out on the bank,
picked up stone, and advanced toward
the bear. The fish line hung out of
the bears open mouth, and the hook
was embedded i'll his tongue, the shank
standing straight up, and of course
jabbing into the roof of the bears
mouth every time no attempted to
close his jaws.
Now, eff I'd done wot otter
done jst then says Joe, in telling the
story, I'd jist took my fish pole an
played that ar bar like wud a trout,
an | cud a run him plumb inter nv
cabin CT easy ez cud landed n fish,
but l never tho't of it till it war too
late, an the fight war in.
Joe advanced on the bear, and the
bear started to meetJoe. The fish line
caught on u bush and pulled taut.
That brought the bear up all standing,
with louder howl of pain than ever.
The fish hook had been pulled deeper
still into his tongue. Old Joe blazed
away just then with his stone and
struck the bear on the nose The blow
tumbled tho bear fiat, but the fall
broke the fish line. The bear got to
his feet Mt once, and being held by the
line no longer, made n rush for Joe,
who was hunting around for another
stone The bear clinchcd Joe, and they
both tumbled iuto the creek together.
Now, if the bear could have brought
his jaws into service he might have
had an even advantage with Joe, but
with the fish hook standing straight up
inside his mouth he had to carry his
mouth wide open. The bear and Joe
had tumbled into water where it was
not more than four feet deep, and this
gave Joe another advantage, for while
he could have foothold the bear had
to swim.
But with the advantages against
him the bear was game and pluclty,
and acted on the offensive. Joe had
got another stone from the bottom of

wipingit from his eyes, he looked bacl.
on the bank and saw one of the biggest
bears he had ever encountered during
his thirty years experience on Cheat
river The bear stood there impudent-
ly making meal on the trout Joe had
caught, and in evident enjoyment Of
the fisherman's situation.
"Joe padded about and trcaded
water while the bear deliberately en-
joyed his meal. The fireman was at n
loss to make up his mind what to do at
first, but the bear presently got him
self in peculiar predicamcnt, which
decided Joe as to his policy in dealing
with the situation. Bruin, after eating
several of the trout Joe had hastily
thrown on the ground as he caught
them. came to the last one tho fisher
man had captured, and which was
still on the hook. He picked it up and
