HOLD BACK WATERS.
BuIkheads Constructed to Protect
City's Water Supply.

What with wind and water to con-
tend with Superintendent knight of
the water department has put in some
strenuous hours the past two days to
keep his department in working order.
Yesterday it was found that Mill creek
with it's murky waters was encrOach-
ing Oh the citys water way above the
Lennon springs and a force of men
was set to work last evening to con-
struct bulkheading to ward off the foul
waters from the springs supplying the
city reservoirs. About $50 feet of bulk
heading was erected last night and
this morning and it is thought all
danger is past The danger to contend
with was the debris being brought
down from up stream. This clogged
the springs and forced the muddy wa
ters of the creek into the feeding pipes.

PROSPERITY OF THE COTTON BELT.
nThe South is the Best Field To-day for
Mail Order Advertising"

Reports from all the Southern ter
ritory are to the effect that a pros
perity heretofore unknown exists in
all the cotton-growing States. Slow
ly but surely the South has arisen
from its slough of despond, and to-
day it is so far advanced along in
dustrial lines as to be a competitor
of Northern manufacturing indus
tries in many lines. The South is
prosperous beyond question, and this
prosperity is of the stable sort, which
will increase, rather than decrease,
be north of Mason and Dixon's line.
Southern publishers should spend
time and money in informing the
general advertisers of the Northern
cities as to the conditions in the fa-
vored sections. Southerners spend
their money freely, and if advertis-
ers can be convinced that the money
is there, they can easily be induced
to largely increase their advertising
appropriations in Southern publica-
tions.
By the same token advertisers
should get their publicity in every
Southern publication of merit. Re
suits will be profitable and returns
will be prompt. The South is the
best field to-day for mail order adver-
tisers, and it has been surprisingly
neglected. This last fact makes it
all the better for the advertiser who
is wise enough to enter the field now.

Advertiser. He will respond in way
that will surprise you.-Publishers

Farm Lands as a Profitable Investment.

A friend was calling our attention
the other day to the fact that farm
ing land is advancing in price in
Catawba County in full proportion
with the advance in farm produce.
Land that could be bought ten or
twelve years ago at $15 to $25 an
acre, now readily brings $50 to $50.
And there is very little to sell at
these figures. Especially is this true
within six to eight miles of Newton.
And there is nothing surprising
about this. Merely as an investment.
nothing now yields better interest
on money than farming lands. A
Newton man told US the other day
that he will get 5000 from a twenty
acre field five miles from Newton.
It was planted in cotton and the
owner gets the third. This is $40 an
acre, or 10 per cent interest on his
land If valued at 800 an acre, or 20
per cent if valued at $50 an acre.
1ulS IS uOC an unusual case. we
could name numbers of them. In
fact, we think that nearly every land
owner will find, on calculation, that
this is about the interest he will get
this year on land he has rented to
cotton farmers. And if the land-own-
er is making such a nice interest on
his rented farm lands, the farmer
who works his own land is certainly
on the top of the wave of prosperity.
Cotton at 10 cents a pound and
wheat at $40 bushel, are making
the farmers of this county independ-
ent. Most of them have sold enough
cotton to pay up their obligations
and are holding the balance for the
expected winter advance. Newton

Il note your editorial about reli-
able advertisers. Good. But why do
you give two whole columns to
Swamp Root when an analysis
would probably show it to be largely
whlskey or alcohol and of no earthly
use to anyone? Now these are facts
which apply to almost if not every
patent medicine in existence." So
writes a Stanly County reader. Un-
til our brother can show something
more than a guess as to "probable"
results, we shall continue to believe
tnat Swamp Root is a legitimate
medicine and not a worthless nos
trum.

sober doctor and tell him all about
what you want, and then you and
the doctor go to work for the good
of each and you will be saved many
trials and troubles. This is one way
to keep your health.

SIMPLE MEDICAL TALKS.-II.
The Value of Having a Family Doctor

IN his life. And ones health is, TO
very great degree, what one makes
it. That is to say, two-thirds of the
sickness one has is brought on by his
own violation of natures laws.
A person who has good health
thinks very little of its great value.
The same person will be very careful
and thoughtful about his money, or
other valuables, and think but little
about his health until he has lost it.
1t is much better and far easier
to keep a portion when you have it
than it is to redeem it after you have
lost it. Now the biggest portion
and richest blessing one can have is
health. Have you got this rich ror
ton? If you have, it is your greatest
duty to take care of it. IF you have
lost it, then it is your duty to re-
deem it.
Now, my friends, here is where the
good and true family dotcor comes
into the life of every one. Not only
should this doctor have to do with
those who have lost that greatest of
blessings-health-b he should be
factor in the life of those who are
healthy in helping them to keep so.
1t is much cheaper for one to keep |
his health than to redeem it after |
he has lost it. 1t is not only an in
dividual loss for one to lose his or
her health, but it is a distinct loss to
humanity for anyone to have lost his
health. Ny breeding fowls became
unhealthy last year, and the result
was that / lost nearly all the off
spring. Just so with you, my friend;
if you have recklessly destroyed your
health, you are a burden on society.
| could follow up this thought and
clearly show you how one has ruined
his own health and the following
generations have been a burden and
distinct loss to the rest of mankind;
but / only wish to call your atten-
tion to the very important fact, that
it is your duty to take special care
of your health.
Everyone should select a good fam
lily doctor and have him take special
pains to advise at all time how to
keep in perfect health, as we'll as at
tend the sick. When you have fam
lily doctor you should stand by him,
and when you want the help of any
other doctor, you should consult first |
with your own doctor and have a
clear understanding about the mat
ter. Many a child's life has been
lost by the calling in of new doctor
without the family doctors knowing
it When you do this, too, you morti-
fly your old tried and true friend,
while it is loss to you also.
To keep healthy, then, you must
break none of natures laws, and in
order to help you, you should employ
a good family doctor. He will soon
understand the family peculiarities
and will be able to advise you as no
one else can. He will know you and
your family better than you know

Nature Study for Early December.

| Messrs. Editors We continue our
Nature Study series with suggestions
| for lessons in early December.
FIRST GRADE.
Study the pine tree. Note the
general shape of the tree standing
alone and the trees standing closely
crowded in the woods. How does
the pine tree branch? Do the
branches stand out at right angles
from the trunk or do they point
somewhat upward. What difference
is there in the number of branches
of the trees standing alone, and the
trees in the forests? Notice how the
bark of the pine differs from that of
the oak, ash, and beach. Examine
different kinds of pine trees and see
the variation and length of the
needles. How much do they vary on
the same tree? How much do they
vary on the different trees of the
same kind? How much on different
trees of different kinds?
1t is a good time now to study the
winter homes of the animals. Where
are the snakes, toads, frogs, and in
sects now? If you find any in the
winter condition let all others in the
class see them. How do the domestic
animals change during the winter?
SECOND GRADE.
Twigs. Give everyone in the class
hickory, or a buckeye, or a maIle
twig. Let each one find the annual
ring and note the difference in the
color of the bark on two sides of the
ring. Examine also the leaf scars.
Note in the scars the traces of the
veins. Where are the winter buds To-
Gated! Are they on the end or on the
sides? Are they always just above
the leaf scars? Is there one or more
than one above the leaf scar? If
more than one, are they side by side
or above the other? When more than
one, which one is largest? See how
many annual rings you can find OH
the twig! What becomes of them
when they get to be several years
old! Locate the portion of the twig
three years old by means of it's an
nual ring, and cut the twig cross
wise and see if the same age is indi-
Gated by the number of rings in the
wood.
Movements of rabbits is an inter
etsing study. How do they use their
hind limbs? How their front limbs
In what way does the tail move? How
do they move their ears? Do thew
possess all of the gaits- walking,
trottlng, running and galloping.
THIRD GRADE.
Make sketches of pine trees and
apple trees and show the difference
and general shape. Study the ami
NAL coverings. Compare the cover
ings of fish and birds. How is the
covering of each adapted to it's mode
of life. Would scales be adapted to
the air-living-hyinp animal and do
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-29
you think feathers we'll adapted to
water-living animals.
FOURTH GRADE.

Note the arrangement of needles
in the different varieties of pines.
How many needles are wrapped up in
the bundle in the white pine, in the
pitch pine, and in other kinds of
zine? How many veins run length
wise of the leaf? What is the shape
of the leaf in cross-sections? Gould
you tell the different kinds of pine
from each other in this way?
Compare the teeth of different
kinds of animals. For example, the
horse and the COW. How many are
there in the adult animal. Sketch
the upper-jaw and lower-jaw. Draw
also single teeth, showing their
shape. How do these teeth fit against
each other when the mouth is closed
in resting positions? How when the
teeth are being used?
FIFTH GRADE.
Study textbook on agriculture.
SIXTH GRADE.
Flowerless plants. The molds. Re-
peat the experiment suggested in
your textbook on agriculture, con-
cerning molds on bread and other
objects. Birds furnish an interesting
subject for study in this grade.
Examine the feet of different kinds
of birds. Compare them as the num-
Der of toes; the direction which each
toe points; and the general structure
of the foot, adapting it to scratching,
swimming and climbing. Similarly
examine the tail The tails of vari-
Gus wood-peckers are especially in
teresting, being equipped at the tip
with hard point to aid in support
ing the bird as it rests upon the tree.
Compare the length and strength of
wings of flying birds with those
which do not fly well.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-29
SEVENTH GRADE.

Read all the literature you can get
upon the preservation of forests. and
upon reforesting waste lands. Write
to the Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Forestry, Washington, D.
O., for bulletins upon this subject.
Then go into the fields and forests
and see what illustrations you can
find there of the truths which YOU
learn from the bulletins.
Make tabulated classification of
all of the domestic animals, using as
characters for classifying the struc-
ture of the feet, teeth, kind of foot
and ability to chew the cud.
