A Georgia Woman Who Has a Sock

A Georgia Woman Who Has a Sock
Full of Gold.
Mary Odom, a sexagenarian, residing
somewhere in the neighborhood of Au-
raria, is the happy owner of sockful
of gold, says southern exchange.
Wien a girl of l6 she adopted profess
sion, gold-panning about in the branch
es during her leisure hours, and she be-
came so well acquainted and infatuated
with the king metal that she finally
adopted the panning business altogeth-
er. and has kept It up ever since. always
being as assiduous to business as a
Judge of the supreme court. When she
made gold panning a profession she
found the lovely metal wherever she
scooped her shovel under the gravel Of
the branches. AT times innumerable
This woman has made four and five pen
nyweights per week, making it rule in
every instance to hoard away one-half
the amount of gold made. For instance
when she panned out SO cents worth OF
gold and needed 81 in goods from the
store, she would pay the merchant rs
cents and nave the DdtddiSS GU y ~ r.
his books against her until she struck a
richer streak. By this method of doing
business the woman has kept out OF
debt. made a good support, and now has
a soclxful of shining gold to dream over
at night. And now. after the age OF 90,
she stills pans about in the branches,
and saves half the gold she makes Tor
I.er heirs to scramble over after she has
crossed in her batteau the wide river on
the other side. There has been a great
deal of mining in this country and arti-
clos not herein numbered written on the
subject, but Mary Qdom' historical car
reer in the gold mining business sur
passes anything we have ever become
aware of in this line.

HOW to Ten Perfect Butter.

Butter is sufficiently worked when it
has all holes closed up; when it leaves
fine shining lines when scraped or
dragged with the paddle; when sheet
of it one-half an inch thick will break
Lalf way and bend half way as it is
doubled over itself, and when the grain
is still like broken SNOWFALL. But
these appearances are only guides.
The butter maker must come to feel in
himself when it is worked sufficiently.

Nothing more certainly insures q

be obtained. A very light application
Of strawy manure e4 thin, light land is
worth much to q seeding Of any kind Of
grass or clover. When wheat straw is
abundant, it can be used with profit on
thin land. Spread it even more thiniy
than usually recommended, say one ton
to the acre, and as a protection and
mulch it may be worth the Inference
between failure and a fair stand Of

Care Of Young Orcharas.

Peach trees are not adverse to heavy
soils, but they must be well drained.
Many Colorado peach orchards flourish
in adobe soils. All fruit trees feel the
force of drought and other hard condi-
tons, as do grains and vegetables, and
require care accordingly. Intense Gull
tivation of young orchards makes a
vigorous growth of the lateral roots,
sending them deeper into the ground,
insuring a harder life to the tree.
After overhauling the old orchards it
may be well to give them some of the
same treatment.-Farmers Union.

1t is an advantage to have the calves
come at all months of the year if the
dairy herd is a large one, so as to secure
Il uniform supply of milk during the
entire year and to avoid having toe
many dry cows at one time. No farmer
should depend on buying fresh cows,
as it is risk. It is seldom that the
farmer knows what a new COW can do
until he has tried her at the pail, and
her milk may be rich or poor, while
her disposition may be Objectionable
Add to this the liability of new COW
bringing disease or a farm.

How to Keep Your groceries.

Instead Of keeping sugar, tea, oatmeal
and other groceries in the paper bags in
which they are sent from the store put
them at once in small wooden boxes or
large jars with tight fitting covers. A

groceries arc kept carelessly in the paper
bags beside he untidy appearance Of

Better World Building.

We are not groping entirely III the dark Those who have worked on the great problems of life have shed light upon the pathway of our thinking, and therefore to some extent we do see. In this better world building the first thing to recognize is that every man has a part in the business. There is no use in signing for better world or day dream ing about the good time to come. Small results will be secured by that disposi tion which sets the responsibility of the matter upon other shoulders Every man has his full share to perform.

Let anxious mothers attend concerts and theaters and clubs and remember how to laugh They who dwell with machines and laws particularly need the idealism and the emotion of religious observance. They whose work keeps them iii close contact with the weaknesses of people should read Emerson and Wordsworth and Browning and Walt Whitman.
