THERE IS "A :.
DIFFERENCE.
B oOoooooooooooooooo

From certain nautical expressions
let fall by the man with the briar-root
pipe we judged that he was mariner,
and when the colonel asked him the
question direct he replied that he had
been whaler for 20 years.
"Then you must have some interest
ing adventures to relate" continued
the colonel.
"Wall, dunno. ! have been knocked
about now and then, but nuthin' tobrag
of. l think the mystery of the Lucy
Jane was my greatest adventure"
We pressed him to relate it, and after
exchanging his pipe for cigar ten
dered him, he said:
81 was the skipper of the Two Broth
ers, and one day we met the Lucy Jane
off the cost of Java. There was calm
for two days, and the ships was clus
together. On the third mornin', jest
arter daylight, we looked fur the Lucy
Jane, but she had disappeared"
"You don't mean she had gone
DOWN." asked the colonel.
"My mate allus thought so, but !!
didn't. | hev allus felt sure that 4
whale swallered her durin' the night"
"But how could whale swallow n
ship?'
~ dunno, but he must hev dun it.
Thar was no wind to sail her away, and
she had disappeared"
"But she might have sprung leak,
as you call it,"
"Skassy. If she had sprung a leak
Capt. Tobias would hcv called on Inc
to borry gallon of whisky fur the men
at the pumps. That was alus his way
lie never expected a man to pump ship
without drink of whisky. No, he
never sprung leak"
"But current might have drifted
him away"
'If it had he would hev come aboard
to borry some plug tcrbacker, as he
was about out. That was allus his way.
He never went adrift without plenty
of plug terbacker aboard"
But you don't seriously think a
whale could have swallowed his ship|'
asked the colonel.
81 can't see how it could hev bin
otherwise" was the answer. I'D like
to think some other way, but can't"
"Well, that's all nonsense, of course.
| she was close to your ship you ought
to have heard some noise"
That's what we did. sir. | had two
men on watch, and they said that when
the whale swalered the Lucy Jane he
uttered an awful groan."
What did he groan for?"
81 never could exactly understand,
but I'll tell you what think When |
was aboard of her that afternoon half
n dozen of the men had out their fish
lines. think they was left lying
around the decks, and when the whale
swallered the ship them fish hooks sort
o. stuck in his throat and made him
groan!"
There was painful silence for n
couple Of minutes, and then the colonel
asked:
as n whaler and liar the same
thing?"
"Skassy, sah-skassly!" replied the
mariner, as he sat stifliy erect. ~
whaler, sab, is a person who ketcheS
whales and tells the truth, while lial
is a person who don't ketch nuthin' and
lies about it," MOJTAD

southern Cheese Factories.

Several cheese factories are now in
operation in the south, and Il good
many creameries. The creameries are
especially successful, and the butter
made at them is of the highest quality
and commands the best prices. One of
the most successful Of these is at Bel
videre, in Franklin county, Tenn,
where a number of Swiss colonists
settled many years ago. At this
creamery the sweet milk is brought in
every morning by the farmers, and
after the cream is separated the re-
mlining milk is carried back and fed
to pigs and calves. The milk at the
time of delivery is tested by lacto-
meter, and the prices paid for it are
regulated by these tests. There has
never been any difficulty in selling all
the products from this creamery at
at good prices, the prices being deter
mined by those paid at some desig-
mated point. j. B. Killebrew, in

SInyc Owned hY n CITY.

The story of Salem's relations with
this city presents the curious instance
Of an eX-slave who belonged to mu-
nicipality. In 1926 he was purchased
by the city of Nashville, and since that
time, for the period of 73 years has
been its faithful servant. He worked
for the city Il years as slave and SO
years as n free man. The old man is
now 1903 years of age, and when he
learns Of the attempt to cast him
abroad as useless incumbrance in his
helpless age he may well wish himself
back in the bonds Of slavery, where he
was at least assured of a comfortable
living. Although the city charter pro-
hibits the pensioning of any of the
city's employees, Messrs Stainback and
Smith refused to regard this provision
50 strictly and rightly cast their votes
for the old fellows pittance. Mr.. Beaz-
ley voted in the negative, but that was
because he had just been turned down
on another proposition. His announce
ment that he will bring suit to prevent
old Salem from collecting his ten dol
lars per month is not considered seri-
ocsly.- Nashville (Tenn.) American.

NATURES HINTS TO FARMERS.
Beneficial Hints Given by Nature II the
Farmer Would Only Heed and
Use Them.

Nature gives the farmers hints on
farming that would be of benefit to
him if he would but use them. In the
way of irrigation, we see the best plan,
where water is scarce. Almost daily,
in the draws or valleys, here in the
west, after having washed out ditch,
it is gradually filled with sand and
gravel by both wind and water. max,

tion plants and one of the cheapest.
The moisture coming from beneath
does not leave sediment to cake on tor
OF the ground to kill the plant or
shrub. In the way of cultivation, the
wind gives him quite lesson by
mulching the vegetation with dust. 1t
may overdo it when it gets on tear;
but even then it shows the way to hold
the moisture in the ground as by dig
ging in the piles of dust he will find
moisture close to the surface. Even
the much-dreaded grasshopper gives
a lesson in cutting back the limbs of
trees, making them lower and bushier-
topped, shading the ground better and
less liable to be injured by high winds.
The writer thinks that n man with
common sense and some Judgment, by
experimenting on these lines, might
adapt himself TO existing circum-
stances and country easier than he
could change the country to his notion
of how things ought to run. 1t might
not make "A millionaire of him quite ms
soon, but he would find less fault with
| the country, and would thank old
mother nature in the end for her hints;
and if he could improve on them he
would be well paid in dollars and
cents. The man who comes out here
to farm as they do back east is gone,
or at least good part of his
money is. He experimental on too

The hay crop of the United States

crops grown. For the past ten years it
has been worth on an average S420, ,000,-

which grows, but because the sheep is

Avoid all tendency to constipation
in the SOW at farrowing time, and you
will then have no fears of difficult or
dangerous parturition. A constipated
SOW is liable TO devour her own young.
Ticks on sheep are very unprotita-
bic customers, and it is better to dip
the flock on the first warm day; it will
do them no more harm than the occa.
sional soaking from rain which they
get.

With the right cultivation any
good acre of land should grow 80 tons
