FRIENDSHIPS OFFERING

We have been interested in the many
general and most appreciative editori-
ais in the southern press of the late ex-
Senator Walsh Of the Augusta Chron-
icle. The Georgia papers are particu-
larly kind, sympathetic and %laudatory.
The popularity of Mr.. Walsh in his
state was most marked. The Atlanta
Journal says that few men in Georgia
were known personally to so many OF
Georgia's people as was Patrick Walsh,
and perhaps no man in the state had
so many devoted friends. He was thus
widely esteemed and beloved because
ae was eve so ready to help his fellow
man." The Constitution has more than
a column editorial the beginning and
ending marked with heavy lines. 1t is
very eulogistic and handsome and no
doubt deserved. We copy a SEN
tence or two to show it's tone:
"In the death of ex-senator Patrick
Walsh, which occurred at Augusta yes
terday morning, Georgia loses one Of
her most useful and patriotic citizens,
the democratic party n of it's most
influential and active leaders, and jour-
nalism one of it's brightest and most
active members. * * His nature was
a rare combination of sweetness and
strength. In him mirth and humor
had for their foundations the loyalty
and devotion that marked his relations
to his duties as a man and a citizen.
His heart and mind were as open as
the day, and were full to o~verfiowing
with the noblest aspirations and the
tenderest impulses. Whatever was
good and pure had in him a Jealous
Champion
A noble tribute to a gifted Irshman
and a Catholic, by a Georgia protestant
newspaper What a pity it is that the
kind things to be said of the worthy
dead cannot be known to them while
living. How much of pleasure and JOY
would come to their souls if they could
by anticipation know what generous
words and just praise would be writ
ten and spoken of them when they had
passed away and their ears were for
ever closed in 1.-The silence and the
calm" of the insensate grave. We
have rarely read of a journalist such
strongly appreciative language as has
followed Mr.. Walsh to his final home.
1t is better that belated praise should
come even after death than not to
ever come.

you know he is blind. No matter how
clear and bright his eyes are, he can't
see any more than bat. Back him,
too. Some horses show their weak
ness or tricks in that way when they
don't in any other. But be as smart
as you can, you'll get stuck some times.
Even the experts get stuck. A horse
may look ever SO nice and go great
pace and yet have fits. There isn't a
man who could tell it until something
happens. Or, he may have a weak

goes for mile or two, then sll of

rest he starts again, but soon stops
for good, and nothing but a derrick

"Some think that only professional

you are going to be blacksmith or a

I should be glad if I found fifty who

want all to go through college. If ten

The learned Bishop might have gone
further and reminded his hearers that
farming is now becoming an applica-

presents most desirable opportunities

recalled the fact that the purity of

OUR FARMERS.
A SHORTAGE IN CROPS.

The corn crop throughout the West
was generally light last year, and as
result good many farmers unload
ed their hogs as rapidly as possible;
the younger ones to cattle feeder and
the others as fast as they could be
gotten passable were sent to market.
A little later, after the scare that corn
was going to 40c or SOC had subsidized
and it became evident that they could
be fed without loss, those who still
owned hogs fed them to reasonable
marketable weight. AS the season
advanced the corn market became
firmer, mill feed became too high to
use to advantage, pasture was scarce
on account of the late drouth and
early advent of winter, hogs would
only just about sell for enough to pay
for the corn they consumed, leaving
no margin for the labor and risk. I'm
der the aforesaid conditions farmers
generally become discouraged, or at
least, Indifferent, and lost all interest
in hogs, those who had no brood sows
would not buy any, and those who
owned a bunch sold them off much
closer than usual, and the result was
that perhaps less than two thirds the
usual number of brood sows were
kept over.
To still further aid in the work of
defamation, February and March
brought us unusually severe weather
for starting the little pig on his jour
ney toward the pork barrel, and
very large per cent of those narrowed
during those two months persisted.
The fact that receipts at market CEN
tiers continue large argues nothing
against the above conclusions, but we
think only proves that great many
sows and gifts are being sent to mar
ket that would have been more favor
able.

TO PRESERVE EGGS.

A friend of mine, we'll known as a
poultry man, gets over the difficulty
in this way. He writes: 81 put down
eggs in Eme-freshly Stacked lime, in
a crock-about the consistency of
thick cream, seven or eight dozen in
crock. My housekeeper says she
never has bad egg. She has them
now in use put down in July and Au-
gust. 1t is better than selling when
they are so cheap, and if more people
did SO there would be fewer on the
market when eggs are cheap and
plentiful and more for kitchen pur-
poses when new laid eggs are scarce
and fetching high prices. There is
system of wrapping eggs in butter
makers paper, packing in box, and
turning daily to prevent the yolk from
adhering. believe it answers, but
some say not. There is revolving
box-Jansen's process-patented.
Some people rub with olive oil and
beeswax-all are effective. Others use
dry salt, but salt absorbs the liquid in
the egg, and it is not SO good as the
wet lime process.
Preserved eggs will not poach SO
they say-the yolk sac breaks. 1t is
important to have fresh lime-slack it;
pound of lime to gallon of water
will do. All eggs put down by any of
the processes should be quite fresh
j. e., put down as soon as laid.''
