Sugar Cane.

Mr.: M. E. Tucker, of Service,
presented the editor of the Chron.
lcle with a six foot stalk of sugar
cane Saturday morning. While
it was one of the finest stalks we
have seen this fall, Mr.. Tucker
told US that he found it growing
wild in his swamp. Flourishing
like a bay tree, where no plow or
hoe had ever been laid to it. We
often wonder why cane is not
more extensively planted in this
section. The soil and climate
are admirably suited to it's cul-
ture, and it will yield more to an
acre than most any other crop
at present grown in this section.
If the truck growers in the vi.
entity of Laurel would agree tc
plant sufficient cane to operate
it, and form a stock company t.
put in a canning factory and en-
ploy skilled labor to operate it,
they could realize IS cents per
quart for all the syrup grown by
them. By this plan an acre Of
ground properly tertilized and
titled would easily yield 500.
Sugar cane is a subject they
might we'll take into considera-
tion.-Laurel Chronicle.

back for nearly 200 years-''the

Of Last Summers
Butter.

The summer season of this
year was particularly favorable
in this State to the making of
butterofa very high class. There
were abundant rains all through
the summer, which kept the
grass fresh, green and succulent.
The cool days helped the butter
makers. The cool nights kept
the cows in a healthy condition.
The result is shown in the quail
~ of ,he Lutter which went into
storage in this (New York City,
market, and which is now being
drawn on. What a different
standard is used in scoring
"stored" butter than is used for
freshly made butter, the sum-
mer's make in storage is running
very high; in fact, the summers
make of butter is as fine as any
that has ever come to this
market.-Ex.

Sugar Cured Hams.
Keeping Meat.

l never have a good thing that
l do not wish to share it with my
dear Southern housewives. This
excellent method of curing and
keeping meat free from faint was
given me by a blue grass farm
er's wife in Kentucky, who was
noted for her Juicy sweet hams
and bacon.
She gave me the following
"When the meat is taken up to
be dried, l wash it in clean, hot
water and while damp l sprinkle
the flesh side of every piece with
powdered borax. Then you need
have no further fear of insects
or bugs, although my hams and
shoulders hang in the smoke
house until cured without even a
sack on them. If the summer
is very dry, 1 re-wash and put
more borax on in July and Aug
ust. The taste of the meat is
not injured. In fact, Ihave been
using the borax for years, and it
preserves the meat from faint,
andit is inexpensive.
Each ham may be tied up in a
canvas or paper bag, or it may be
left hanging in a cool, dry place,
and when when wanted for use
it will be found in excellent con-
dition, juicy and sweet. Shoulders
may be cured in the same way

The Value of Charcoal.

Nearly everybody knows that
charcoal is the safest and most
efficient disinfectant and purifier
in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the
more you take of it tn, better; it
is not a drug at all, bat simply
absorbs the gases and impurities
always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath
after smoking, drinking or after
eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcosl effectually clears and
improves the complexion, it
whitens the teeth and further
acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; it disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison of
catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in
one form or another, but proba-
bly, the best charcoal and the
most for the money is in Stuarts
Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered
willow char coal, and other harm
less antise ptics in tablet form,
or, rather, in the form of large
pleasant-tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges
will soon tell in a much improved
condition of the general health,
better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.

ing of the benefits of charcoal,

Developing a Mixer.

Cows are largely the creatures
of habit, and with their hrst
calf everything isnewand strange
to them, and they readily submit
to be MIXED and think it is right.
But suffer them to run with the
fit st calf tie first season, and a
vicious habit is established that
they will hardly forget in a
whole life time. Ifthey ever sub
NIT to be MIXED quietly, it is
evidently under protest.
But there is agreater objection
than this. The calf, running with
it's mother, draws the milk every
hour or two, so the milk vessels
do not become distended with
milk, though the quantity crere
ted IN a given time may be large.
But this is the naturaltimeto dis
tend the milk ducts and expand
the udder to a good capacity for
holding milk. When with her
next calf, you require the milk
to be retained twelve hours, the
udder becomes hard and painful
and the milk leaksfrom the teats
or, more likely nature accommo-
dates the quantity of milk secret
ed to the capacity to retain it,
and the cow becomes permanent
Iva small mixer. Much of the
future character of the COW as a
mixer, therefore, depends onher
treatment with he first calf.
The Northen plan of milking the
cow from the start, teaching the
calf to feed from a strap in a
trough or bucket, is preferable
to the too common practice of al
towing the calf to run with the
COW, the owner taking the chance
for the little milk the calf may
leave or the COW may choose to
"give down." All who are ia
miliar with the latest dairy prac-
tice know how easy it is to teach
a calf to accept substitutes for
milk, if taken at the beginning,
and how much better this is for
all parties concerned, COW, calf,
and owner.-Ex.

An Organ Recital.

Rev Joseph F. McGees parfshioners of
the Church of the Sacred Heart and num-
Der of Washington music lovers assembled
last night to hear the new organ erected
in that church. The general verdict Of the
musicians who rendered the notable pro-
gram Of the evening, of those who per-
formed on the organ and of the musicians
in the audience was that the instrument
possessed notable power, a pure and i'm
pressive tone and an extraordinary sus-
ceptibility to the will of the organist.
This organ is the second electrical in
strument installed in Washington. 1t is a
tWo-manual organ, with fifteen speaking
registers, combination pedals, a crescendo
pedal and an entire pneumatic action Like
many later organs 1t Is divided In two
separate sections with consol between in
order that the choir may be stationed yir-
tually in the midst of the organ tones.
Prof. Erich Rath, who Is the organist at
the Church Of the Sacred Heart. Miss Nell
lie Gillen, organist of st. Stephens, and
Mr.. John Porter Lawrence, organist at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
were the organ soloists of the evening
The first named rendered the march from
Lachner's suite, Schumann's "a bendlied"
and the toccata and fugue In D minor by
Bach. Miss Gillen played Alphonse Mailly's
Invocation" But the full power of the in
strument was first developed by Mr. Law
renee, who performed Guilmant's "Nup-
tial March," with the most pronounced
Prof. Rath was the last organ solo of the
evening and excited the most approving
comment Of the entire audience
Vocal members were contributed by Mr.
Bernard Ryan, who rendered, with the
choir the "Juxta Crucem'' from Curto's
Stabat Mater; Mr.. L. e. Cannon, who sang
in the absence Of Mr.. John Nolan the PRO
Peccatis" from the Stabat Mater of Ros-
SIM; Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-CIiff who
sang the familiar with Verdure Clad"
from the Creation" and chorus of fifty
voices especially trained by Prof Cannon.
This chorus united with Prof Rath at the
organ to perform Unfold, Ye Portals"
from Gounod's "Redemption' as a conclud-
ing number of the concert.
The one other number Of the evening was
Bohm's "Cavatina," performed on the vio-
lin by Miss Bertha Lucas in most artistic
and effective style.

LETTER CARRIERS HATS.
Postmen Appear With Headgear of
the Armv

Washingtons letter carriers to the num-
Der of more than 200 have appeared on the
strets equipped with the regulation cam
paign hat of the regular army. This is the
first time in the history of the local post
office, and possibly in the history of the
American postal system, that the distrib-
utors and collectors of mail have assumed
the headgear of the army. But the effect
while the hats are new at least, warrants
the innovation.
This change is the result of action by the
carriers themselves. In former years their
summer hats were of straw, and We're
thought by the officers of the postoffice de-
partment to be cheap and unsightly. About
two months ago the carriers empowered
their special committee clothing to adopt
new hat. This committee reported to
Major James E. Bell, superintendent OF
free delivery, the selection of a regular
campaign hat of brown felt like that used
in the army. Major Bell thought the new
hat likely to become worn and battered in
too short time but accepted the report of
the committee nevertheless.
The new hats cost $1.75 each and are said
to be of exceptionally good quality.
