Florence Times: A reader of the Times writes to us to urge all who come among us to buy farms to avoid the poor lands of the county. He justly says it will pay to buy the better lands even if they are higher He also makes the point that an immigrant buying poor land and making a failure at farming deters oth- CTS from buying.

This is the kind of farming that pays. MT. Goode's way of farming is in striking contrast with the farmer who wants from two to four acres on which to make a hale.

SWEET POTATOES.
Some Interesting Facts About Their Gull
tivatiOn and Use.

Some Interesting Facts About Their Gull
tivation and Use.
The sweet potato is most commonly
propagated by means of buds from
roots planted in hotbeds, and the
shoots as they develop are planted in
the field. Cuttings from these vines
are often rooted and transplanted for
the main crop. The plant rarely ma
lures seed in the United States. Ninety
days after the sets are transplanted
early varieties will be ready to dig for
use. The best growth is made in
warm, sandy, well-drained, and even
dry soil The greatest care in harvest
ing is necessary to prevent bruising the
roots in handling, for the skin is very
tender and wounded roots are sure to
decay. They are best preserved by
being kept in a temperature of seventy
five degrees for fortnight after Dig
ging, and then lowering the tempera-
ture and keeping it during the winter
at from fifty to sixty degrees in dry
atmosphere.
Rather more than two-thirds of the
weight of the sweet-potato root is
water. Three pounds of the roots af-
ford as much dry matter as one pound
of corn, but only about half as much
protein. On sandy soil, however, more
dry matter to the acre can be secured
with a crop of sweet potatoes than
with crop of corn. The young leaves
and tender sprouts of the plant are
sometimes prepared and eaten like
spinach, and the vines, although they
are usually left to decay in the field,
can be prohtably used as food for cat
tie. They are better fed green than
cured into hay. and they cannot be
successfully made into ensilage.-N. Y.

He agreed instantly, and drew upa
comfortablc-looking couch to the fire in
place of his chair.
"'Now, if do my level best to sleep
will you promise not to leave me till
am off?' he said, and, feeling pretty
confident of my powers, rather un-
wisely consented.
II began by reading aloud to him in
a soft, monotonous tone which have
generally found effective, and at the
end of half an hour was congratulate
ing myself on my success, when the
old gentleman jumped up. wide awake,
and, fishing in his pocket, produced an
other half-sovereign. *
II was getting desperately sleepy
myself, and more than ever anxious to
succeed and get away, when my pa

shortly, and continued the reading
again with what seemed like complete
success, till at two o'clock my patient
jumped up as lively as ever to present
me with my fourth fee.

perate, and was already regretting
deeply the promise which prevented
me leaving the old gentleman to his
fate and getting home when another
thought suggested itself to me.
1.-THE sleeping draught which he had
refused was lying on the table before
me. He admitted having taken large

this was very strong one, and might

SUMMER UNDERWEAR.

Some Good Warm Weather Advice for the
| Women.
| The idea that casting aside ones un-
| derwear will make one cooler is most
erroneous. The same number of gar
ments should be worn, but they
should be of lighter weight
or of such age that they have
worn thin. Almost erybody-every
woman body-has had one dreadful
night, caused by wearing a new night
dress, starched to suit the laundress.
It's beauty was nothing to the wearer,
and in telling of her experience she is
apt to say, 81 was warmer than if I
had worn fur coat" And she was So
in preparingfor comfort in summer time
1 would suggest that even the most
ancient of nightdresses deserves con-
sideration and a few sympathetic
stitches.
For the silk or wooden vest substi-
tute one of cotton, and for the other
garments select thin fabric or else
wear those that you put away at the
beginning of the cold season to save
for the warm days. Wise women do
not give away the old underwear to
the poor; they buy new for them and
keep the others for the time when they
will be needed. A button here, a patch
there, the lace mended and careful
darn where it is needed will make for
you more comfortable underwear than
the best llngere could furnish.
With the haircloth or alpaca petit
coat skirt of fiannelette, reaching to
the knees, is to be commended. for,
while it gives the required warmth to
the body, it is not heavy, nor does it
seem to become imbued with the out
side heat. See that strings and but
tons are in their places, and firmly
fastened, too, for then they will not
come off at an undesirable time, cause
you to lose your temper, and SO grow
ugly and warm at the same time

The kerosene emulsion is valuable for
those insects, which suck. The great
