Educational Field
Conducted By Hon. M B. Dennis

His general appearance and bearing m
dictated education and refinement, and he
possessed both. He was reared at the OLD
country homestead, with all needful COM
forts and luxuries at his command. The
best society that those times afrorded
was his, and there was no lack of as good
as could be found anywhere.
His education, social advantages, ana
the fact that he was reared on planta-
tion where he saw there every day, how
ever, failed to beget in him love for the
negro.
In his place the negro might be tolerat-
ed. As farm laborers. as cooks. as ser
wants. as attendants, he managed fairly
well to put up with them, but with all,
he hated them with bitter hatred. he
considered them a little more than worth
less beasts, and his prejudice blinded him
to ANY, worthy traits that might have
been developed in them. He considered
them distractions to progress and civil
ization. ''the white mans BURDEN;
curse to society, and a menace 10 good
government. Why this radical aversion
to the race was mystery IL seemed 70
be innate. The precepts and examples OF
his parents warranted no such unnatural
antaRonism. It was in him, He could not
help II.
He was spending a few summer months
at a southern watering place. Alone one
baImy day he strolled upon the beach 70
enjoy the sea breezes and watch the resi-
less waves.
In the surf were two boys playing Win
the incoming tide. This was common
SIGHT and he gave them no thought
Hand in hand the boys waded out sea
ward. They went too far. They stepped
into water too deep. They lost seif-con-
troll. and clasping each other about the
neck they held with grip as unyleloins
as death itself. They screamed for nelp.

them sink beneath the waves. he rusneo
instinctively to the waters edge. and was
Just in the act of plunging In to help them.
when the two forms rose again to the
surface and he saw that one was a negro.
He stopped, and shouted to the white boy
to first free himself from the negro ana
he would save him. And while he hesita-
ted, and refused to act because ne coulo
not save the white boy without helping
the negro, and the latter he would not 40
for ali the world. even thought together
they both should perish, the two boys, one
white and the other a negro sunk beneath
the waves and were never seen again.
This man was dominated by strong pref
udice and bitter hatred, and these, MS
ruling passions. gloated in the death OF
the lille darky; but it was sauce sea-
soned with the immortal life of a white
bow. Those who oppose the education or
the negro to the extent OF favoring the
abolition of the entire school system, or or
resisting any effort to improve the pres
ent system, because the negro under our
constitution participates therein, If they
secure the end they seek. must do so at
the expense of the education and happi-
ness of the white children.
Vote, feIlow-citizens. for longer term
schools better schools, and leave to the
boards of education the disbursement OF
the money as their Judgment may decide.
and all will be well.

ferred the land may be bedded at the start
and narrowed down.
Peas should always be planted in the
cornfeld. either broadcast or on the corn
rows. Where cotton Is the principal crop

must follow cotton, but by planting cow
peas a considerable amount OF humus can
be secured in the soil every other year.

or hay. and as far as possible every farm

Barnyard manure is next I'm value to the
legumes for supplying nitrogen and humus
for the corn crop. though IL should be sup
plemented with phOsphoric acid and pot
ash. Too much barnyard manure cannot
be used. II IL is applied to the furrow. bet
ter results can be secured by drilling In
with IL at the same time from 100 to 300
pounds OF phosphoric acid per acre, and
the same amount Of kainit. or IL muriate
OF potash is used, one-fourth of that
amount The manure and the chemicals
can be nicely mixed by running a scooter
furrow down the rows once or twice after
application Of all the ingredients.
II cotton seed are used. apply from % TO
80 bushels per acre in the drill. using the
same amount OF phosphoric acid and pot
ash as with barnyard manure. Cotton seed
will make hard compact soils lighter and
more easily worked. while they furnish
considerable amount of humus and are
more lasting in their effect upon the soil
than cotton seed meal. On the other hand
cotton seed meal does best on light sandy
soils. IL makes such soils more compact
and they are less easily affected by
drought. which is an important item on
the soils OF the piney woods and gulf re-
gions. From 200 to 800 pounds Of cotton
seed meal. mixed with 80 pounds Of phos-
phoric acid and the same weights in kainit
as acid. may be used to good advantage
per acre. or the relative amounts in small

formula for corn can be found in the foi-
lowing. II the ingredients can be bought
and the mixing done at home:

This formula will analyze as follows:
Avauable phosphoric acid. 100 per cent;
potash. 80 per cent; nitrogen, $40 per
cent.
We hope TO see much larger area OF
our southern lands planted in corn the
present year. and corresponding de-
crease in cotton. Corn at $l.0 per oushel

Pigs and Cows.
Progressive Farmer

Progressive Farmer
The dairyman of today is of necessity a
breeder of swine. The two go together
so thoroughly that it would be a waste OF
good material and opportunity to neglect
either. There can be no doubt that nature
intended that the pigs should be the COM
panion of the cows in the clover field. But
more than that the swine should be fed on
the skim milk as on nothing else. The
milk fed in this way will yield larger
profit than If sold In the ordinary market,
where only q few cents quart can be OBJ
tanned, and often not that. The waste of
time and material in trying to find good
market for skim milk is the most dis
couraging feature OF the dairy business.
Many a man has been induced to leave
the business entirely on account of this.
After settling up his accounts for the
year he has found that he was no gamer
for the years work.
The only actual sure way of making
money is to have a well-organized dairy
and pig farm. Enough of the latter
should be kept at all times to consume
the skim milk. BY rapid growing and SELL
ing turning the money over quickly, a
good profit can be made for every quart
of skim milk fed. Some keep their pigs
too long. 1t is better to sell them as
young pigs than to wait until they are so
fat that few want them. A good, healthy
pig, with plenty OF lean and rat on mis-
sides, viii usually sell better than the ex-
cessively fat hog. The clover and grass
will always help to make the pigs grow,
and on a diet of good clover and plenty
OF skim milk there Is no danger of hog
cholera or other swine disease in the hot
test of weather. Corn and dry grain are
the breeders of disease and illness in hogs
during the summer, and it is a mistake to
attempt it. The hog cholera is undoubt-
eddy the product of over-heated blood. SUI
perinduced by heavy corn and grain feed
ing. We cannot stamp the disease out
until we change the diet. Let that be
skim milk and green clover and grass
from the first of June until the end of
September. and any man can raise as fine
a flock of clean, healthy swine as any
marketman could ask for. And the mar
ket for such animals is always ready with
prices far more constant than for most
farm products.

CORNING Beef.

Rural New 1OTkeT.
Take the beef Immediately after II Is
cut out. Rub each piece well with fine
salt. See that II is rubbed into every
part. Have ready a box or a tub with
holes all over the bottom through which
the blood can drain. Lay each piece in
the tub with the fieshy side down. Put
layer of salt between each layer of
beef and cover the top we'll with it. Let
it lie in the salt ten days, then take 1t
out. rub of ali the salt, wipe 1t with a
damp cloth and put it into brine made
OF fifteen gallons OF water fifteen pounds
of salt, one pound of saltpeter. two pounds
of sugar and one quart OF molasses. Boil
and skim. Put the beef in when the
BRINE is cold. Weight it down.. This
brine can be used all winter.

Baby Beef.
Farm and Ranch.

Farm and Ranch.
The demand for baby beef which has
been developed within a few years. is said
to be making heavy inroads upon the cat
tie ranges. for If the young cattle are sold
wherewith shall the ranges and the feed
farms be stocked? Nevertheless, what's
the difference? Beef cattle are more prof
liable at two years than they ever are
afterward. and hence baby beef, which
brings the highest price in the market,
is the cheapest to produce, working for
the benefit of the producer. at both ends
of the line.

questioned. In his announcement one OF
the other candidates for this office the
gentleman from Lowndes), makes the
statement that there Is IAN Overwhelming
desire for a change in this Office" At
ter talking with number of teachers and
prominent citizens Of this and adjoining
counties 1 am forced to the conclusion
that the ardent desire for a change is
confined principally to the candidates who
are in opposition to the present incum-
bent. Georgia has very little IL anything
to gain by making a change and certainly
a very great deal to lose.

AS TO THE VALUE OF
THE OcTOGONAL HALF DOLLAR

The octogonal gold half dollar mention
ed in your issue of February LIST is worth
not more than 81 to a collector. It is of
private California coinage. and has no
national standing. Coin experts quote, If
uncirculated, that is, If brand new and
perfect, at 30 cents. If Mrs. Mayfield can
get $50 for 1t. she had better accept It
