How a Farm Paper Pays.

The Progressive Farmer, Raleigh,
n. @.
Gentlemen Enclosed please find
our check for $500 to pay on sub
scription for The Progressive Farm
er-the best publication in the State !;
a paper that should be read by every
farmer In the State of North Caro-
lima. AS Bro. J. T. Williams said in
Conference Saturday, some people
not taking the Farmer and not being
posted, sold peanuts for 3 cents, and
are now mad with themselves for not
holding them and getting 4 cents.
Our pastor, Bro. j. H.. Speight, said
while riding the road the other day,
he saw a nice pear tree dead with
blight. A gentleman with him re-
marked that the owner of the tree
did not take The Progressive Farm
er. On reaching the home of the
gentleman, he asked Brother Speight
to walk out and see a pear tree of
his that had also had the blight, and
had it not been for an item he saw
in The Progressive Farmer, his tree
would also have been dead. Five
cents worth of the right stuff saved a
SO tree-worth ten years subscrip-
ton to a 81 paper.
Yours truly,
J. r. WILDER.

1t has been we'll said that no man
ever sank under the burden of the
day. 1t is when to-morrow's burden
is added to the burden of to-day,
that the weight is more than a man
can bear. Never load yourselves 50,
my friends. If you find yourselves SO
loaded, at least remember this: it is
your doings, not Gods. He begs you
to leave the future to him and mind
the present. What more or what else
could He do to take the burden off
you?-George Macdonald.

The safeguard of highest beauty in
all visible work; the safeguard of
conduct in the soul. Not a subdued
and imperfect energy, a stopping
short in any good thing, rs love or
faith; but a power which governs the
most intense energy and prevents it
acting in any way but as it ought.
In respect to things in which there
may be excess, not imperfect enjoy
ment of them; but the regulation of
their quantity, so that the enjoyment
of them shall be greatest.-Ruskin.

A NOVEL SUGGESTION.
Waste Lands Should be Protected by
the State.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
I have received three or four
copies of your paper and it seems as
if you editors have started out
to give to the farm a higher thought
with new life in a business way. So
/ wish you much success by sending
you 81, so that | might be more sue
cessful myself. For l a see that
ignorance has impoverished the
farms. So there is as much as one
third of the land of this State a
waste. And the present tenant sys-
tenn, with its ignorance, neglect and
don't care, will in a few years put
another third in waste.
AS the farms are impoverished, the
people emigrate, hunting stronger
lands.
Now these lands should be cared
for by the State, for there is no
more of it making and what is left
arabic is the States and the peoples
only source for life.
You men of thought and official
influence in our State Legislature.
should provide some law to care for
the lands, by putting a man in every
township to see after the land and
having it thoroughly diked and
worked on a level, so that the up
land will not she'd its water, sedi-
ment, and sand down to the streams,
raising all the bottoms lands of the
State and causing sickness.
Now, if the rain could be kept
where it falls, your upland would
improve, your bottom land could be
cultivated and your bridges left
standing. And we would no longer
hear of the high water damages, and
soon there would be more immigra-
ton to come than to go. Can't this
be done?
