What Becomes of Them.

The question is often asked: sWhat
becomes of the horses and mules?"
Every year large numbers of horses
and mules are brought into the south
and sold. 1t is stated that in Chester
field, s. c., not less than 500 horses and
mules are sold to farmers annually at
an average price of 500 per head. 1t is
estimated that the farmers of South
Carolina pay out annually $4,000, 900
for horses and mules. This is quite
drain upon the farmers. 1t is for
them to consider whether or not 1t
Is not the best policy for them to stop
this drain by raising their own horses
and mules. There is great possibilities
in this line for southern farmers, and
by eliminating from their expense ac-
count that of the purchase of mules
and horses they will relieve cotton Of
the burden of raising funds for this
purpose. The raising of live stock Is
in the line of diversifications of agri-
cultural pursuits; it stops great leak
and serves to intensity the proper ro-
tation of crops; it aids in the great pur-
pose of disposing of some of the farm
products to advantage and assists in
maintaining soil fertility. = Dixie

Honest Convictions.

The surest and safest recommendation
to the good will of people whose friend
ship and confidence are worth having
is straightforward and steadfast 10y
atty to faith and principle. Even the
most incorporating bigot, if not abb
solutely fool, is capable of appreciat-
ing the merit and value of such fidelity
to honest convictions. and is compelled
to respect the motives and admire the
courage of the man whose course is
SO directed. Nothing is ever perma-
nently lost by answering allegiance
to honor and right, but ultimate failure
is inevitable where strict adherence to
these standards is rashly sacrificed
through motives of expediency. These
are simple. but essential truths which
every young man who hopes to succeed
must build firmly and squarely into the
foundationupon which his characterand
future are destined to rest. = Detroit

MATERIALS FOR SPRING.
Fashionable ColOrs and Correct
Styles of Trimming

styles of Trimming.
In one or two of the large establish
ments in New York there is always a
prominent counter devoted to what are
to be the new fabrics and color--a place
ahonneur, as it were. Sometimes a very
curious observer will discern that the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within a very short time, as though
there had been tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what it might be. This season, so
far, the piece d'honneur has been given
TO smooth, light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer, and
most exquisite are the shades in cash.
mere, drap d'ete, etc., while fine-cord
Light weight blue serge is shown, to be
made up most deliberately and with ex-
pensive ribbons. BY the way, let no
woman delude herself into the belief
il will cost little to dress well this year.
Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there IS every indication that
much trimming is to be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
will be necessary to make the velvet
bands or the tiny ruffles that look so
smart and fresh.
Gray in all the different shades is to
be greatly the rage, and the favorite
trimming, particularly on the cash
nieres, will be the graduated trimming
rows of black velvet ribbon sewed on only
at one edge. which gives more ruffle
look. The putting on of these bands is a
difficult task, and it must be remem-
bered that it is fashion much more
becoming to slender than it is to stout
women.
On serges silk braid will be put on in
the same way as the velvet ribbon, and
around the waist and sleeves as well
as the skirt. Three rows of either
velvet or braid are sometimes put
around the front and side breadths,
and then turned and so arranged as to
go up the back of the skirt to the waist.
1t is claimed that this is more becom-
ing, and gives more graceful lines, but
unless very cleverly done, it looks ex-
ceedingly ungraceful. A much more
becoming style, though not SO new an
idea, is to trim the seams from waist
to hem with braid or velvet sewed on
fiat. Fortunately, it is at last consid-
cred possible to modify fashions and
make them becoming. In this age of
The world, when dress is so marked, both
in color and design, and although the
fiat has gone forth for trimmed skirts,
the trimming may, as has been said, be
put on in many different -ways.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

In every section of this country there is
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. As
the country gradually becomes more thick
ly settled, taxes on real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. 1t is good
business to make every foot of land yield
something to help bear its share of the ex-
penses of the farm. This may be done in
several ways That land which is too wet
for the pillow may be ditched or tile drained,
and thus be brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be-
encountered, however, in clearing up tim
bertrand, in removing trees, stumps, grubs,
etc, etc. For this purpose several machines
have been put upon the market, but none
are better than that made by the Milne
Manufacturing Co., 742 Eighth St., Mon
mouth, ILL.,, a thoroughly responsible firm,
whose advertisement appears in this paper.
They manufacture the Hawkeye Grub and
Stump machine in several sizes, and guar
antee it to pull stumps or grubs, and to pull
up trees of ordinary size This machine, un-
like others, does not need to be moved for
every stump, but will clear out a circle Of
two acres at one sitting. Write this firm
for catalogue, circulars, prices. etc.

1t hardly pays to drive the dairy

If you use it, be careful and know what

If you have neglected to make ar
engagements for hot-bed, better haul
out good load of manure where it is
to be built, and sprinkle over the
ground that the hot-bed is to occupy.
Don't neglect this; it iswell worth all
it costs.
There is not one farmer in exist
ence that could not feed a dozen sheep
without feeling the loss of the feed.
To feed well is the first and last neces-
sity for success. One had better keep
his money in his pocket, than to buy
sheep and then neglect them. :
Oats are better for seed II hand

plump grain first, and these are worth
much more than the regular oat price

if all small grain used for seed were

Cherry trees succeed best ON high,

Importance of Water.


The Importance of water to the grow
ing plant can only be understood when
we apprehend and appreciate how large
apart of its structure is composed of wa
ter, and that even this large percent
age of its composition is but fraction
OF the total amount used in its devel-
opment. The quantity of water enter
ing into the structure of plants varies
from 60 to as high as 9S per cent. of
their total weight. During the en-
tire period of growth there is
a constant giving off of mois-
ture by the foliage, and it
must be made good by that which is
taken up by the roots. BY experiments
conducted at the Wisconsin experiment
station, ithas been found that in rails
ing oats, for every ton of dry matter
produced there were required 522. 4 tons
of water; for every ton of dry matter
OF flint corn there were required $3.50
tons of water; for dent corn, 800. Os tons
OF water for every ton of dry matter.
On plots at this station IS tons of dry
matter of oats per acre represented an
expenditure of 940.32 tons of water.
Potatoes used 1927 tons of water per
ton of dry matter. The yield of pota-
toes on the experiment plots of $50
bushels per acre during the dry season
OF 1898 represented an amount of water
equal to 1.31o.37 tons.-Rural World.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The barking of dogs on the earth
can be distinctly heard by balloonists
at an elevation of four miles.
The waitress in Boston is compelled
to work from IL to Is hours per day
and in some instances with no Sundays
or afternoons off, for $3.50 per week.
There is now before the city council
Of Cleveland, o., an ordinance providing
that all contractors who submit bids
for work must pay minimum wage
of $3.50 per day, eight hours to consti-
tute days work.
There has been watch making at
Coventry as long as there has been a
watch trade in England, which is for
the last 200 years or thereabouts. There
used to be three centers of the English
trade, these being Liverpool, Coventry
and London. Now there are practically
but two, Coventry and Birmingham.
An American named Floyd claims to
have accidentally discovered a SUBJ
stance WHICH, when once ignited, can
not be extihguished by water or other
means, but will burn itself out. 1t is
easily and cheaply made, but the discov-
erer, afraid of the misuse to which. ii
might be put, refuses to disclose the
secret of the ingredients.
That not only animals but plants
also will have some of their juices or
liquids freeze in the winter time is
well known. Twigs will snap easily
when the thermometer is below zero
and ice crystals can be readily discerned
by the microscope. But the question
asks Meehan's Monthly, is do they
freeze solid? The contention is that the
active living cells cannot do this, and
still live. S

Keep the Pigs Growing.

To get the best results with pigs, they
must be kept growing from the start.
Their food should be varied and al
ways of the best. Never feed damaged
food. such as moldy grain or smutty
ears of corn. The old idea that any,
thing was good enough for hogs has
long since been exploded. Farmers
who still believe it are those who are
continually complaining that farming
does not pay. How could It when
such methods are followed?--Dixia
