Obediencc in children.

The habit of obedience in children,
though often discussed, is of far more
Importance than most parents realize.
Obviously, the home is happier und
there is less danger of hayward and
vicious acts when prompt acquiesence
to parental demands is exacted. But
the underlying principles which govern
the outward act are of far more conse
quence than these external results
which secure the ease of parent and
child. Disobedience begets mental un-
tidiness. Obedience is orderly in its
nature and has it's root in respect for
established forms of government. The
citizen whose voice is always for the
right, whose ideas of truth and justice
are clear and unwavering, is almost in
variably man who learned obedience
in childhood. The boy, who obeys his
parents is more likely to yield himself
to Christ and to Divine requirements
than is the careless, ungoverned child.
Our Saviour Himself was required to
learn obedience. The mother who per-
sists in exacting obedience, prompt and
unqualified. who perseveres in struggles
with childish persistence and ignorance,
is fulfilling noble mission in laying
foundations for future coed to society
as well as to the individual

A Cheering Sign.

tine Of the cheering signs of the times
is the fact that this year the south will
probably grow the biggest corn crop it
ever grew. This means less cotton and
less cotton means better prices for the
smaller crop grown. There is no use
for an agricultural country to expect
permanent prosperity SO long as it
buys most of its meat, -four, corn and
other food for man and beast, when
it can grow them cheaply at home.
The last crop of cotton must have been
a severe lesson to many growers; after
spending money, time, labor, fertility
on the crop to harvest it, and not be
able to get back what it has cost Is a
discouraging state of affairs.
But there is good time coming when
the south will produce all of its sup
plies, in the way of produce of the soil
and also many manufactures. VIII
this injure the prospects of the north
and west? Not bit; the time will
50 come when the limit of production
in those sections will be reached and
prices will advance accordingly, and
this is one more reason why the south
should grow her own food, for if it is
disastrous for her to buy at present
very low prices what will it be to buy
at very high ones? No, the welfare of
the whole country is best secured when
every section is prosperous.-Cor Dixie
Farmer.

A moulting hen seldom lays during the
time she is shedding her feathers, but
it is an advantage to have them get
through with the process, as they will
be full-fledged and ready for laying be-
fore December, when eggs will be
higher in price. Feed a proportion of
meat to hens every evening, about a
pound, chopped fine, to twenty hens,
and give each hen teaspoonful of lin
seed meal once a day if they are moult.

ing should be in separate yards from
the moulting hens.

HERE AND THERE.

1t is affirmed that hog manure about
sweet potato plants will cause black rot
in the crop after the tubers are gathered
and put away.-Farm and Preside.
Don't stint the hogs. Let them be
filed every day. Now is the time to
push them, and December will be the
time to put them in the smokehouse.-
Dixie Farmer.
If you have been successful don't
forget the means that have led to your
success If failure has come to you see
wherein you have been led to do the
wrong thing, and resolve to shun the
breakers next year.-Southern Farm.
Tho old-fashioned dairyman plows
little and pastures much. The modern
dairyman reduces his pasturage and
grows soiling crops, keeps more cows to
the acre, improves his land and makes
more money. Farm.
Ordinarily, the droppings of our
domestic fowls contain nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, potash and lime, in addi-
ton to some forty per cent. of moisture
and insoluble matter. 1t is considered
WOItIl dDOuJ tCh tOu COlu-
pared with the ordinary commercial
fertilizer. and Farm.
Successful dairying requires close
attention to the small things. In the
care of the cows there must be clean
bedding, they must be kept free from
lice and vermin, and the nature must
be considered as one of the valuable
products, and looked after accordingly.
Farm and Fireside.
There is no royal road to success in
farming. Agricultural success doesn't
come by chance or by the accidents of
birth, or place or time. Above all
things we must not count out the mat
ter Of brains The cause of failure in
many instances In farming is due pri-
marily to misplaced Judgment, or to de-
fective judgment.-Southern Farm.
"A dairyman should never be dis
couraged by the price of dairy prod
ucts, provided he procures the best
prices that are going. The market has
its ups and downs, like all things else.
Keep quality and production always
to the highest standard, and the profit
will come by the end of the year.
National Stockman.
If failure has attended the years
efforts the best thing tina. can be done
is to discover the cause of the failure
and take steps to guard against a repe-
tition of the evil. No disaster is with
out its lessons. And sometimes the
very best thing that can befall a man
in early life is in some disaster that
teaches man the consequences of his
own folly.-Southern Farm.

FARM ACCOUNTS.
The Account Book Necessary Adjunct to
the Farm.

The Account Book Necessary Adjunct to
the Farm.
If every farmer would keep an ac-
count of all business transactions, every
expense, the date when crop was
planted, the cost of planting and culti-
walton, every implement when bought,
what it cost, all mending when done
and what it cost, all crops harvested,
marketed, when done, and the cost; all
manures used when bought, what 1t
cost to get it on the land, and all
the profits derived from each one Of
these items, we would find more real
wealth among the farmers than we
now do. This at first view might seem
too strong an expression, but small
leak unnoticed will sink the largest
vessel.
How many of our farmers know what
they are doing? How many know how
near they are to the precipice, and still
going on? How many know that they
have worked hard all the year and are
just as poor the last day as they were
the first, or perhaps twenty, fifty,
or n hundred dollars poorer? We
buy too much on time and keep
no account of our purchases, and we
are surprised when the bill is pre-
sented for settlement at its amount,
and many times we unjustly blow up.
The bill is much larger than our in
come, and we are unable to meet it.
Many times we may count up some of
the expenses but neglect to count up all
the cost; we will count so far, but leave
off many things that we do not really
deem as cost, which very things will
consume all the profit Many do not
count rent Of land, interest oa money,

Dressed Poultry.

September finds the markets full OF
poultry and prices low. Better prices
may be obtained, however, by dressi ag
the poultry shipped, which should be
dry-picked When fowls are shipc cd
alive there is danger of loss by dea III,
and from shrinkage on the journ ".
When dressed they can be packed in
boxes or barrels, with ice, and sent bv

appearance, and fat, better prices can
always be secured, and the commissions
and other expenses lessened. The mp
pearance is a prime factor in selling.

Keeping an account book would cause
us to see hundreds of little expenses
that we would not otherwise notice.
Waste of time, waste of fertility, waste
of manure, waste of feed and many
other wastes would be noticed more,
and an effort made to save. Less need.
less farm implements would be bought,
and better care of what was bought.
