Old Newspapers.

Old newspapers form an Important
item in domestic economy, and are use
full for polishing window glasses, for
cleaning lamp chimneys, for testing
and cleaning tiatirons and for a dozen
other things; you will also need heaps
of them when you come to pack away
the winter clothing. The clothes moth,
like other eyil-doers, has an aversion
to printers ink. An excellent moth
proof bag, second only to the expensive
tar paper, and costing nothing, may be,
made of two thicknesseS OF newspaper,
with the edges folded as if. for an inch
wide hem, and securely pasted. Bags
of the same kind are about the best
thing you can use for keeping seeds,
and dried herbs. They are dust and
insect proof, and can be labeled and
hung in the storeroom until needed.

mat night as the first mate of the
only Son came up from his cabin with
a revolver in his hip pocket and grin
on ms race, he was met at the head of
the stairs by the captain and Mr..
Lancelot To his surprise both of these
gentlemen were armed, while behind
them he observed the despised stowa-
way, Dick Harley, with naked cutlass
in his hand.
Mr.. Billings" said the captain, "you
will please throw up your hands. Your
little plot has been discovered. All,
thank you" Gas he drew the pistol
out OF Billings pocket, you may return
now to your cabin and consider your
self prisoner"
Wh-what is the meaning Of this,
sirv' sputtered the mate.
The meaning, Mr.. Billings" put in
Lancelot, sis that this boy here heard
your whole delightful scheme to rob

very promptly Informed the captain.
Your accomplices in the forecastle were
captured in their hunks, and most of
them have confessed everything"
Billings looked at the speaker, then at
Dick Harley.
''The stowawayw he cried. 'The
misera BILE little rat of a stowaway."
Yes, Mr.. Billings-the stowaway has
saved the Chartered Company of South
Africa f250,000 and staunch, sea-
worthy ship. You will find that the
company knows how to be grateful"
And grateful, indeed, the company
proved itself to be. A month later
while Billings and his gang were
awaiting trial for attempted piracy in
the Cape Town jaiD Dick Harley was
shaking his fathers wasted hand in the
new hospital at Salisbury. The sur
veyor's recovery from lingering fever
was greatly accelerated, you may he
sure, by the news that the Chartered
Company had rewarded by position of
trust and honor the timely action of
the quondam stowaway on the Only

completely hidden so that the men on
the larboard watch, who had just
turned In after four hours wrestling
with wind and water, knew nothing OF
his presence.

A chuckle ran around the fOrecaStle.
"Why, you donkey. cried the man
who had first spoken, Billings just
wanted to show how jealous he is in
the company's service. The captain
thinks there's nobody like Billings"
Just then the mate appeared, and, re-
marking that the captain was quite
right, proceeded to give his orders for
scheme which made the stowaway
under his canvas prick up his ear-one
of them was still very painful from the
mates cruelty-and listen inteRuy, for

Cautiously Dick Harley peeped out
from under his tarpaulin. Then he ven
tured forth and set one foot on the
companion ladder.

Gilt Edged Butter.

The dairyman who can produce gilt
edge butter, the genuine article, and
do it with uniformity, is not dependent
upon market values for his product,
for he can get cents or 10 cents a
pound above market rates right along
without any trouble. In fact, there are
those who get double market rates
every week in the year. When we can
secure SO cents to 60 cents per pound
for butter by catering to prime trade
with prime grade of goods we stand
a good chance Of making dollar. Why
not get posted, acquire experience and
make something extra fine? There is
always plenty of room at the top. The
trouble with da3rying in general to-day
is that too much cream is annually
made into a fat no better than so much
soap grease. There is too much poor
butter in the market. This demoralizes
prices and profits to the trade in gen
eral-Practical Dairyman.

After all, he had been sent out in

economic theoriZing have, however,
constituted the bulk of the great vol
ume of gratuitous advice given him
and that which might be of practical
worth has either rarely reached him or
has been presented in form he could
not comprehend. 1t is useless to try
to delude the Southern farmer into the
notion that there is substitute money
crop for cotton. He cannot be made to
believe it, which is a redeeming feat
ure to his many acknowledged weak
nesses. From present indications he
will rightly continue to rely on the
f1eecy staple for his universal stand
by but he must realize the fallacy of
mortgaging his life and property to
cultivate every inch of his land in the
growth of any single product for the
principal benefit of somebody to whom
he allows himself to become depend
ent. The question, however, is not so
much whether the crop is pledged, but
whether in event of it's failure as to
production or prices obtained there
will be enough Of other things pro-
duced to insure an actual living and to
prevent bankruptcy.-Cott Planters

SPANISH BARBARlSM.
For Hundreds of Years She Has Been
a Blot on the Face of the Earth.

For Hundreds of Years She Has Been
Blot on the Face of the Earth.
The treatment which Spain has ac-
corded her colonies has always been
brutal. Spanish hearts and Spanish
methods changed but little from Cortez
to Weyler, the only difference, instead
of increase and success as at the begin
ming, failure and decrease Of empire is
at the end.
Spain has always felt her inferiority
in this respect to other nations, and in
ton she has bid defiance to every other
nation on the face of the earth.
Spain has for hundred years repeat
edly thrown down the gauntlet of def
ance at our feet.
She has disregarded all treaty obliga-
lions. Who can recall the massacre of
the crew Of the Virginius without a
thrill of horror passing through his
frame? The Spanish depredations on
our commerce up to 1914 were so extern
sive that she was obliged to cede Flor
ida to the United States on their agree
ing to settle with our citizens, accept
ing Florida in payment of the lump
sum.
The United States has not alone suf-
fered from Spain's depredations. AS
long ago as 1870 the episode which is
known as the war of Jenkins ear arose
from the barbarous treatment of Capt.
jenkins, an English officer, and the
crew of the English ship Rebecca,
which was captured by a Spanish
cruiser and searched. The Spaniards,
after hanging Captain Jenkins at the
yard-arm, with a cabin boy tied to his
feet, unstrung him just in time to pre-
vent death, and cutting off his ear pre-
scented it to him and babe him take it
to his king Captain Jenkins did as he
was bid. The wave of indignation
raised by this act of cruelty caused
Horace Walpole, who was prime minis
ter, to declare war against Spain. Spain
bitterly regretted the act of her naval
commander.
In 1862 Spain, by her repeated op-
pressions, forced England to again de-
clare war against her. Lord Albemarle,

Il, 900 men, appeared before Havana,

that number of Spaniards fell in less
than two months time, and with it
Cuba into English hands. II, remained
there until by the treaty of Paris, in
1763, it was restored in exchange for
possessions which England at that
time considered more valuable.
Spain was the last of the great pow
ers to recognize the sovereignty of the
United States.
At the end of the nineteenth century
nothing remains of her vast possessions
but the Philippine Islands in the
Pacific Ocean and Cuba and Porto Rico
in the Western seas. Mexico threw off
the yoke in 1911. Then Central and
South America in 1916, and the Argen-
tine Republic was formed from the
province of La Plata; then Chill, Peru,

dor and Venezuela broke the chains Of

Secret of Success.

Says the Southern Farm Gazette:
The secret of farm success is getting
money out Of your surplus. One man
will rush into the market with his
corn and oats and sell it for 10, Is or 20
cents a bushel; another will hold his
for better prices and little later will
get 25 to so cents for it. One man will
sell his hog to the town butcher for
212 cents; another will peddle his
among the people at cents; or bacon
it and sell for cents or 10 cents. This
is the mercantile part of farming, and
is one in which our farmers are most
deficient. Our farmers stand greatly
in need of education along these lines.
To grow a crop is but half the battle.
To save and use the crop as food for
man and beast and convert the sur
plus into money is the better half Of
the years work.

A Wide Distinction,

Many people who attempt to cook
are apt to forget that there is a wide,
distinction between boiling water"
and boiled water says good house
wife, quoted by the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser water loses its fresh
ness when boiled long time, and the,
vegetables cooked in it always taste
fiat and flavorless. All green vegeta-
bles should be cooked in soft water,
sailed and boiling. Bitter or hfeless
tea or coffee result usually, not from
the quality of leaves and berries, but
from being improperly made with
boiled water instead of freshly boiling

Market gardeners do not often give
away their snaps" but one confessed
not long ago that he had led the mar
ket in early tomatoes for several years
by following two rules. AS Northwest
ern Farmer tells the story, this gar
dener plants in north and south rows
and lays the stalk horizontal in a shall
low trench, leaning the plant to the
north and covering all except the top
of the plant. This plan let's the sun
strike the ground over the roots and
buried stalk hastens fruiting. His
other rule is never to cultivate in any
way which would wound the roots
after the blossom has appeared. When
wounded, the plant stops feeding the
fruits until it has repaired the damage.
