The sweetest bird-singer in the South
land iS the mocking bird, but they are fast
becoming extinct by their nests being
robbed by bad boys and the old ones
luthlessly killed. We believe there is a
law against killing or imprisoning these
delightful and beautiful songsters, and if
so, every good citizen-every friend of the
sweet singers-should aid in the detention
and punishment of all who kill the old
birds. rob their nests Of the eggs, destroy
the young or imprison them.

Every two horse farmer should raise at
least two hogs. He can do this and hardly
miss what they eat. Four would be bet
ter than two. By planting small lot,
one-half in the early amber sorghum. the
other in later variety, hogs may be fed
and kept in thriving condition on the sor-
ghum. Sweet potatoes, especially the
large prolific kinds, are excellent feed for
them. ALI indications point to scarcity
of hogs next fall. This should be suff1-
cient reason for every farmer making an
extra effort to raise his own meat.

contS;as-six thousand and forty-eigbt
pieces, Shicr-ase utifully arranged and
very pleasing to tSe-aye. Miss Mollie is
certainly an expert with the needle, and q

and the young man who wins her heart
and hand as a life companion may con-
slider himself very fortunate.
