What Is Sunshine !

In 1896 Mrs. Cynthia W. Alden,
Of New York City, received It
great many Xmas presents and
several of the same kind. She
thought of an old uncle that she
knew would enjoy one Of the
books she had received, so she
sent it to him and when he had
finished it he sent it to some one
else. and so on until that hook had
passed through many hands and
cheered many hearts, for each had
shared his blessing with some
one else. This deed prompted
the sunshine movement for it was
in the Lords hands. There are
now over million members to
Scatter Sunshine all along the

ty is to cheer the sad and broken
hearted; to help the weak and

Mortgage LifterS.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the United States department Of
agriculture has gone to the eX
pense and trouble of issuing Il for
ty-page bulletin, telling southern
farmers how to make big profit
out o. hogs and warning them
against keeping and raising
scrubs, and despite the tact that
to the most casual observer the
loss sustained in feeding such
stock is obvious, we still find in
the south q vast number Of men
who continue to throw their mon
ey away IN a futile attempt to
make d profit out of them.
The scrub hog is undoubtedly
one of the greatest drawbacks
that southern agriculture has.
The hog i'll the west has earned
for himself the title OF mortgage
litter. " but how many scrubs dc
you find among these "mortgage
lifters?"
There is no doubt that with
weIl-bred swine, bacon can be
made as cheapIy in the south as
anywhere in in the United States,
and yet so into any grocery store
south Of Mason & Dlxon's line
and you will find there 'westerr
