SUCH IS FAME.
A Small Schoolgirl Gets the Hero 81
Manila Into a Ind
Mix Up.

One Of the most popular Of the young pro-
fessors in the male high school tells. an
amusing little story on a small, up.to-dote
schoolgirl. She went to one OF these dis
trct schools over which cousin Of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to have Wis.
itors at the building now and then, who
ask the scholars questions and see that
everything is in good shape. One day not
so long since party Of callers came in and
requested the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them. One Of
these questions was Tell what you know
about Admiral Dewey's great fight"
The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one of the
girls did not make move to do so.
"Why don't you write your answer to the
question:" she demanded Of the idle pupil.
"'Taint no use" was the slow response.

HERE AND THERE.

Put out some roots for the stock
next winter, and do it in time. They
will furnish relish which pays as
food better than even the corn or the
hay.
Although there is much in favor
OF other rations, oats is about the best
thing we can give to calves. Mixed
with corn meal, it is great producer
for cows.

-Suiting the crop TO the land,
rather than suiting the land TO the
crop, is the easiest method of agri-
culture, but it is not always the most
profitable. The owner is not then the
master of the situation.
For profit an old COW should be
killed as soon as her milk ceases to
pay for her keeping, without wasting
any more food upon her, even if the
hide must be sold and the carcass cast
upon the compost heap.
-Scanty summer pasturage and a
diet of hay through the winter will
keep the hide and the body Of the COW
together and cause her to yield as
much as goat, but she will not be
profitable in this climate.

Narrowing should be done so as t.
make the soil fine as deep down as il

well fined and compacted soil to dc
their best, as they go down to a great
er depth than blowing is ever done.
Narrowing wheat in the spring

results, the yield being increased from
four to five bushels per acre. Fol

SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, APRIL Z, $780,

Of nitrogen fixing in the soil by the
peas will far more than repay the out
lay without taking into account the
benefit which accrues TO the cotton
crop that follows.
If the peas are sown broadcast after
crop of oats or wheat the summer
previous to the cotton planting, and
good dressing of mixture of 1000
pounds acid phosphate and 400 pounds
or muriate of potash Tor tonl 10 the
acre, is applied to the land and well
narrowed in before sowing the peas,
say about 400 pounds, the pea crop
will be largely increased AMI the fer
tilizer will be uneXhausted, and with
The accumulated nitrogen will be
where it can do the most for the cot
ION crop. For il, during the late sum-
ner, you will note any wash that may
lake place in the cotton field, you will
see that the whole soil is full or roots,
and that the mere applying of little
driblet of fertilizer right under the
cotton is not doing what we should
for the crop. But in the method pro-
the ground and the accumulated
nitrogen also, and then If to supple
ment this we place in a deep furrow
between the cotton rows the seed OF
last years crop the roots will find
them just at the time when they can
make the best use of them. The peas
will have given you mess of feed that
you can use profitably in feeding
stock and making manure for the corn
crop to follow the cotton.
Now we will SOW crimson clover
seed all through the cotton while the
land is fresh from the last working,
and get growth that will protect the
soil in winter, and with the home
made accumulation of manure will
give n corn crop and carry through
the winter oats crop that follows.
Then again we come in with the APP
plication of acid phosphate and pot
ash, and our land will be continually
on the up grade, growing more and
more of every crop in the rotation,
and the cotton will be grown at q
smaller cost every year, because the
crop will increase annually.
To what extent the application OF
the mineral plant foods to the peas
may be increased profitably we are
not now prepared to say, but we
would not fear to use in that place 500
pounds per acre, and expect it to pay
better than an application of com
pletc fertilizer TO the cotton crop it
self.-W. +. Massey, N. c. Experiment

Tobacco rs n Money Crop.

The farmers in the highlands OF
Dickson county, Tenn, have never
raised cotton, but plant tobacco as the
money crop, and it usually yields
from $50 to SIS per acre net, which
is doing very well when we take into
consideration that all the grain and
meats used upon the farmers table
are produced at home, besides the
fruits and vegetables. More tobacco
is being planted in this section every
year, and the farmers becoming more
and more independent thereby. This
is the season when the tobacco is
stripped and marketed. 1t is usually
prepared for market in wet weather
when it is too disagreeable to work
out of doors, and in this respect the
tobacco raiser has the advantage be-
cause he is kept busy all the time.
Idleness will ruin the farmer as well
as his machines, and tobacco culture
is a good cure for the disease. C. E..

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS.
Some Valuable Suggestions for the
Housewife - How TO Make
Turkish Coffee.

There is nothing so developing as
hard knocks to the character which has
strength enough TO stand up under
them. Suffering is wonderfully de-
yeloping. That is something of trite
remark, but it is so true that it is un-
fortunate people cannot realize it
while they are having their hard ex-
periences, and so get the best they can
out of them and little comfort at
the same time. II realize" said a
woman whose life has been one of
many vicissitudes, reviewing her past
struggles the other day, that after
all, experience is the best thing life
can offer us; better hard experiences
than the safety of monotonous well
fare"
A woman Of good taste, whose chill
dren in the nursery always are pretty
and picturesque, dresses them in little
Russian blouses Of checked gingham.
These little garments are practically
aprons, which are loose and comfort
able and protect the Clothes beneath.
They are simply made, there is very
little more work in one than in an
apron, and yet, where the apron is an
ugly, unitarian affair, the blouse is dis
tinctly attractive.
A good housekeeper, who clings TO
the spicy and historic mince pie, has a
way of putting up her mincemeat which
10 very satisfactory and convenient. She
cans it as she would preserve. She
has jars which hold just enough mince-
meat for one pie. She can make one
rie or dozen, but whatever number
she makes she leaves the remainder OF
her mincemeat undisturbed, and none
OF it ever by any chance molds OF
spoils.
Whether it is going back to first prin-
ciples or advancing scientifically, there
is always something new to learn about
cooking. In regard TO Turkish coffee,
1t is probably going back to first prin-
ciples. Whatever 1t is, the man who
wears a red fez and sells pure Turkish
coffee--Mocha, which he declares comes
straight from Mocha, and is blackened
more than ordinary coffee is for use
says that all the coffee kept on hand
should be pulverized ready for USE
and in that condition will preserve its
strength. II it is kept in the bean the
changes of the weather will affect II
and the coffee is spoiled. So he says
It must be kept in wood or glass, not
in tin. In that he will agree with the
good American housewife. But why
the coffee should be ground TO pre-
serve its favor and strength is difficult
for the housekeeper educated up te
date to UNDERSTANDABLE. Y. Times.

BECOMING COL0RS.
Complexion should Wear
Green,

4 woman who has a reputation for
never wearing anything unbecoming
was giving advice few days ago TO n
party of young girls whose big velvet
toques were adorned by knots and
aigrettes of every color ever evolved by
ingenious mixtures of dyes.
If were to tell Esther that the rea-
son green is becoming to her is that her
complexion has n greenish tint, she
would never speak to me again" said
the color expert. "But it is fact, and
none of you can say that Esther is not
Il pretty girl. Green tints are not al
all uncommon in flesh tints, and one
does not have to be bilious or envious in
order to have them. They call for very
pretty shades. Now, Esther, for in.
stance, should choose soft rose, warm
violet and helotrope, yellow that is
creamy enough to blend toward green
and those shimmering silks and vel
vets that CLINT with green and warmer
tints. OF course, she would have to
I've careful that the suggestion of
warmth be not too rosy, or 1t would
clash with her lips and cheeks, which
have flush of their own. If your COM
plexion has tints of blue, wear blue. A
bunch of forget-me-nots, violets, vel
vety blue pansies, blush white lace,
anything that has touch of blue in it
or thought of yellow. You can also
wear, with success, many of the So
called violet and tulip shades where
blue predominates in the admixture of
colors.
SHOULD you be blessed with a skin
that is pink and white, try everything
that is beautiful, but don't become
reckless and put on harsh red or
gorgeous purple, unless you want to
kill the blush of your cheeks. Don't
wear dull reds il the tints of your COM
plexion are inclined to yellow. Wear
reds that are bright and in which there
is dash of yellow, not purple. Wear
golden-headed daisies, buttercups or
soft-toned yellow orchids, even forget
me-nots with their tiny yellow centers.
II your complexion is extremely rosy
or ford there are any number of pur-
pies or lavenders to choose from, and
the effect will be to add white to the too
rudy skin. Whatever you are, blonde
or brunette, if the coloring of your
hair, eyes and complexion is as nature
made them, or if your makeup has
been done with an artists eye for the
relation of color, your clothes can be
selected so as TO harmonic with the
tints of your complexion and then you
may rest assured they will be artstical-
ly becoming."-N. \. Commercial Ad-

water for some time. AS the horn soft
