hurhO. d.
Mrs. P. G.. Howell spent Saturday
and Sunday in your city visiting rel
atives.
MIR. and Mrs. Ruffin Bailey, from
Selma, visited Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Smith this week.
Mr.. Temple Woodard, of Prince
ton, spent Sunday uight with Mr..
| and Mrs. II. D. Wells.
Mrs. Laura Andrews and daugh-
ter Miss Clyde, of your city, spent
Saturday night and Sunday with
Mrs. Geo. Becton.
Mrs. Douglas Hastings, from Black
Creek, and Mrs. Wright Lynch, of
near Smithheld, spent last week
with their parents Mr. and Mrs.Seth
Dixon.
Mrs. Will Crawford spent Monday
at Greenleaf with Mrs. HI. E. Tripp,
| whom we are glad to learn is now
rapidly recovering from her recent
accident
= = Mr.. Ed Gurley and children, Of
your city, were the guests of Mr.and
Mis-. r. L. Hooks last Sunday. Mr..
Gurley is now selling pianos and or
pans, and was on his way home from
Johnston county.
Mr.. G.. w. Becton, the loss of
whose mule is familiar to ARGUS
readers, spent Wednesday night
with Mr.. Geo. Becton on his way
home with his mule, which he found
! near Pine Level. He may not have
found him had not the HUNDRED
EYED ARGUS looked into so many
! homes.
Toby says if the weather continues
the only way he can ever plant corn
will be to run of his land and drop
it, and split out the middles after he
! lays by his crop. There are good
, many of us in the same condition.
However, the past two Spring like
days have put the farmers to work
in earnest, and the lands are being
! rapidly prepared for seeding.
Mr.. r. E. Pipkin was out here
| Monday afternoon, and we have felt
! somewhat more hopeful since, as he
interviewed neighbor Toby Howell,
and perhaps he has reconsidered, ,and
going to furnish potatoes anyway.
At any rate we are more "calm and
serene", and are awaiting develop
ments. Bob has many friends here
who are always glad to see him.
A ''tramp" in the orchard at Mr..
Geo. Pipkin's last Sunday morning,
causing much alarm to three of the
young Ladders, and causing them to
hide in the barn, proved to be a SIS
! ter dressed in some of the boys
clothes, and upon establishing her
| identity the three so badly fright
ened were so we'll amused that she
escaped with but little punishment.
| The old gin house which has been
as familiar figure here as the old
| "Great Eastern" in your city; has
been torn down by its enterprising
| owner Mr.. Geo. Becton. 1t has stood
there for years, and was built by
DR.. Goelet. We first thought Mr..
Becton would probably follow suit,
and erect a market, city hall etc.,
like you are going to do. But we
learn from him that he will build a
pack house for tobacco, and erect one
or two dwelling houses and rebuild
the one burned. "We go forWard''
too, don't you see?

Dress Accessories.

"Trifies" are of more Importance
than women sometimes think, for
very ordinary dress may often acquire
an elegance which it has not, by a
well-chosen. pretty detail, be 1t only
a waist belt Gloves and boots cannot
be called deta; s; they are necessaries,
and cannot be too good in every re-
spect. Details mean collars, ties, belts,
veils-everything in fact, which is not
of the dress, but which forms the tout
ensemble of a perfect toilet. The very
purse in her hand, the chain around
her neck, the combs in her hair. pro-
claim the taste Of the woman. In col
lars the latest is of embroidered lawn
or lace over an under collar OF black
silk. Another model is high band
OF black velvet with strass or jet
band in the center and sailor knot
at the back. Transparent collars are
threaded with the narrowest black vel
vet ribbon, as also are the lace yokes
and fronts of some blouses.

From the Club Woman.

To the woman who would be indi-
vidual, who wants to be an inspiration
and a benefcence, there is but one
message: Be not afraid of yourself;
get acquainted with the deeps Of your
own nature; face the shortcomings of
your own spirit. Go into the open
country alone if you can; if not, take
little time out of every twenty-four
hours to think. Just as the obser-
vance of the Sabbath is wise thing
from physiological standpoint, so are
self-communion and its breathing
spaces a blessing to the individual.

Women should sleep More.

A physician who is specialist in
nervous diseases say that women
should sleep at least nine hours
at night and one in the daytime. says
the New England Farmer. A woman
will plead that she hasn't time to lie
down for a few minutes in the day
time, and she will infringe upon the
hours of night, which should be given
to sound, healthy, needed sleep, in or
der to finish some piece of work which
could as well be completed on the NOR
row. She will rush and hurry all day
long, and then when the household is
hushed in slumber at night she will
sit to read the daily paper, thinking
she will not have to pay for the time
she is stealing from the nealth-giving
sleep that comes before midnight.

Sleeves vary somewhat, yet the coat
sleeves with proper fancy fiaring cuff
seem likely to prevail. More elaborate
sleeves are seen in basque and Louis
coats. One dressy sleeve in the eton
blouse is especially pretty. 1t is open
at the back from the wrist up over the
elbow, where it rounds in shape and is
filled with puff of lace, fastened with
loops of braid and round crochet but
tons at the wrist These extend to the
end of the opening. but do not fasten
over the elbow.

The director of the Iowa Experiment
Station says: The problem as our
lands become more valuable will be
not how to do with less grass, but
how to get more of it. Pasture lands
may become worn out, or what is
more properly termed, run out" quite
as readily and completely as tillabie
lands. No part of the farm will yield
better returns for careful attention
and good treatment than the pasture.
Some simple experiments conducted in
the Iowa college farm pastures have
furnished striking results in favor OF
pasture culture. The application OF
ten quarts of clover seed per acre.
disced and narrowed into blue grass
pasture in the early spring, increased
the yield 65 per cent over pastures i'm
mediately adjoining that received no
treatment. Pasture lands thus treated
produce heavier, denser growth, and
better variety of grasses. and stand
drouth better and the improvement OK
tends over several seasons. This treat
ment should be alternated with top
dressing applied preferably during the
fall or winter, followed with the har-
row in the spring. The best pastures
ale those that are never disturbed by
the plow.

Keep Up the MIX Flow.

A well-known writer on dairy sub
jects, says: Careful breeding and in
herited excellence may be set at
naught by insufficient or unsuitable
feed. even for brief period. The sue
cessful dairyman will carefully provide
in advance for the feed supply during
every month Of the entire year Too
frequent provision is made only for the
winter months. The severest test
sometimes comes in midsummer rather
than in midwinter, when the tendency
appears to be to trust to chance and
let the dairy COW take the seasons
feed supply as it comes. The milk sup
ply of the average creamery falls off
more rapidly on pasture in dog days
than in the midst Of winter. Milk

of the year can never be fully re-

Sayings by sIumford.


Professor Mumford. in some re-
marks made before class in live
stock, said:
You can't get the desired quality into
native beef. without the help OF some
Of the high-bred beef blood. In the
Chicago market when a man says
there is fine bunch Of steers" he
means they are high-bred steers.
A pedigree and a certificate of reg.
istry are entirely different things. Ev-
cry animal has pedigree A certin-
cate Of registry is no guarantee of in
dividual excellence. Why? Because
every registry association in this
country will accept for registry an ami
NAL whose parents have been record
ed. AS long as 1t is possible to regis,
ter poor animals a pedigree will be
no certificate of quality. We may
have a well-bred grade animal, or we
may have very poor registered ami
NAL. 1t is not necessary to buy an
inferior registered animal, for there
are plenty Of good ones. The
next important thing after individual
excellence is prepotency. 1t is a we'll
known fact that registered animal is
more prepotent than an ordinary ami
NAL, for it has been bred along GER
tain lines for many years. There is no
place for the use of the grade bull in
breeding.

Summer soiIins Crops.

However good the pastures may be,
there are times when they must be
supplemented with. forage crops and
grain rations to maintain the dairy
herd in good flow of milk, and the
poorer the pastures the greater the
necessity. The earliest of the green
forage crops is rye, and it affords a
generous supply of good feed although
it comes at a time when the feed sup
ply is usually quite sufficient for the
time being. The use of rye in the early
spring makes it possible to hold in
reserve Z larger surplus of feed .or
midsummer. 1t can be sown in the
corn fields after the last blowing, and
in most seasons it will afford good
supply of green feed after the corn
crop has been secured in the iall. This
practice tends to eradicate weeds and
renovate the soil. First among the
soiling crops for midsummer and early
autumn, | would place sorghum. Its
hardness, vigor and growth, abundant
yield and adaptation to our soil, place
it among the most reliable and profit
able crops of the farm, regardless of
drouth or other abnormal climatic
conditions. Any part of the crop not
needed for summer feeding in the
green state can be cured in the form
of excellent winter fodder.-C. +.

Warming the Cow Stables.


The Irish Homestead comments on
the warming of COW stables as follows
At a meeting Of the Veterinary Med
icaI Association, Mr.. Pottie, who read
a paper on How to Make the Most
of a Mich Cow in Winter" laid great
stress on keeping the byre comfortable
and especially in regard to tempera-
ture. He has tried experiments on
the point and found that tempera-
ture of SO deg. F. was the proper one.
When the temperature was raised 10
81 deg. F. the supply OF milk began 10
decline. He also discovered that 1t did
not take long to decrease the yield OF
milk by lowering the temperature, but
it took a far longer time to restore the
lost quantity by raising the tempera-
ture again. Mr. Pottie recommends IN
cold weather to stop the doors and ven
tilators. and thus raise the tempera-
ture from the animal heat. To my
mind this system may do well for
time, but we fear the health OF the
animals would ultimately suffer from
breathing air charged with carbonic
acid gas. Although more costly. we
should prefer artificially heating the
byres during very cold weather to try
ing the experiment Of doing it with
foul air. On the other hand, in time Oh
cold or stormy weather, there would be
no need for keeping doors, windows or
ventilators as widely open as in times
of calm or heat.

gained. The entire subsequent yield
during any period OF lactation will be
mainly governed by the extent OF the
decline during an unfavorable period.
The dairy cow and likewise the dairy
herd that makes the best yield must
have no adverse periods at any time.
1t is the evenly sustained yield rather
than the sudden squirt that determines
the years total.

Poultry Briefs.

Fowls do not need nostrums. The
of red pepper and other spices is not
one to be encouraged. Generally, too,
such things are fed blindly and must
often result in disarrangement of the
digestive system.
The advice is given to get rid of the
old BOOSTERS before the breeding sea-
son begins 1t is thought better to
mate young roostefs with old hens to
get chicks both vigorous and hardy.
The young cockerel imparts the vigor
and the old hen the ability to with
stand adverse conditions.
The causes for soft shelled eggs may
be various. Among them we may men
ton the lack of shell-forming material
in the food the failure of the oviduct
to secrete shell material. or its inabil-
ity to hold the egg till the shell is
properly formed around it. The feed
ing of foods deficient in lime may be
and probably is the principal cause of
the deficiency. In a state of nature
fowls lay fewer eggs than they do
when brought under the care of man.
Moreover, they have in q wild state
access to so many different kinds Of
food that they are sure to get enough
lime somewhere for the eggs they lay.
Under artificial conditions it seems TO
be quite necessary for man to supply
lime in addition to food, especially if
that food be deficient in lime.
The fellows that have been selling
the so-called red albumen" seem to
have made a pretty fair haul of suck
ers." 1t is positively astonishing that
so many people should rush of to the
druggist and pay so cents a pound for
something that has merely been men
toned in some non-agricultural paper
We have over so experiment stations
in this country, and it is an easy mat
ter to write them concerning a thing
of this kind Any reputable agricul-
tural paper will also run to earth a
fraud when the attention of the editor
is called TO it. This 'red-albumen" on
analysis was found to contain one
tenth OF one per cent of albumen, and
the rest of the mixture consisted of

TooTHPICK HABIT.
So Prevalent That It Affords a Clew to
Character.

From the Chicago Journal.
We have the drink habit, the card-playing
habit-in fact, habits innumerable, but there
is one habit of which little has been said,
although it is present among US. 1t is the
toothpick habit, and it is as firmly rooted
in those who have it as any Of the more
Objectionable ones.
Observe man coming down State street
early in the morning. He has one of the
little bits of wood in his mouth. Now, here
Is where a little character reading comes
in. If he be of a quick, high-strung, nerv-
GUS temperament, in a few minutes time
he will have chewed up one end Of it and
turned the other end in his mouth to mas
ticate This end is also soon reduced to
pulp and fresh toothpick takes its place.
SHe reaches his place Of business or employ
ment but the toothpick sticks there. nor
does he have his mouth entirely free of one
until his stock is entirely exhausted or he
is tired out. In the former case match is
resorted to or few toothpicks borrowed
from neighbor, which he will repay when
he obtains fresh stock at the restaurant
where he eats his luncheon.
Cool, phlegmatic persons will keep a
toothpick in their mouths for several hours.
A man Of moody or troubled mind will let
his toothpick droop listlessly downward; a
man with his mind intent on one thing will
close his teeth tight on 1t and 1t will stick
out straight, while happy golucky per-
son or one with mind free from care, will
have his toothpick at an upward angle or
constantly shifting about in the mouth. I
tell you that habit is great index TO a
mans thoughts and characteristics.
The cashier of leading cafe. whose desk
is right where the box of toothpicks is,
says the habits growing to such an extent
as to keep them busy filing the box anew.
And worst or ALL she remarked they
seem unable to break themselves Of the
habit. After gazing furtively around, a
man will grab up handful of toothpicks
and hastily thrust them in his vest pocket
with guilty look"
