and cheapest feed possible for cattle.
In all his corn land he plants or sows
peas, or will hereafter, and this will
give his cattle several weeks fine
feed after tho corn is gathered. The
roots and vines will improve the, land.
Winter pasture is receiving his at
tention, for it is necessary to have
good pasturage for calves, COWS with
young calves, or cattle in bad conli-
ton. He will try a mixture of whc j,
oats aud rye with some crimso..
clover. He will shelter his cattle in
the winter and herd them in lo Is dur.
ing the summer. lie expects to cut
down his fe, ,tilzer bills and soon do
away with purchasing any. Cotton
will be an incidental crop and as the
manure increases the land will i'm
prove rapidly. Thus Mr.. Walker has
but one idea and that is to raise the
finest beef cattle, if he has to buy his
milk and butter from his neighbors.
The next consideration is the gradual
improvement of his land. He pro-
poses to attempt nothing that will be
in the way of his one object. 1t may
be two or three years before he has
many for market, for he is now work
ing to increase his herd up to the
maximum number for poor season.
There is no reason why he should
not succeed. He has the land and
the cattle to start with. lie can use
the ordinary labor Of the country.
There is Il constant demand for beef.
Should his herd increase so that he
would have to expand somewhat,
there are thousands of acres of cheap
land near him. We shall watch the
results of his work with much inter
est, for cattle, pea vine hay and
sorghum with small grain will greatly
enrich our State.-Capt. Charles
Petty, in Spartanhurg Journal.

scene was Fowler & Wells office In

noiogy went to have their bumps

bumps in the Eagle, yet in his
poems he shows half belief in the
go called science, and he familiarlg
haunted the little shop with It's
charts, its busts and its cranks. One
day a friend found Whitman there

The Ancient GfrdlS.

IN Rome mans investiture OF his
gfrdle showed that he was intent on
work of some nature. When he took
1t off and let his tunic fall it was pat
ent to all that business was over and
that he was free to speak to his friends
at his and their leisure. Thus the cir
die served a purpose-negative in 1ta
character, Of course, but a purpose new
ertheless. Its sphere Of usefulness did
not end here. 1t was figuratiye or
property. When a man or woman put
off his or her girdle it was token OF
remuneration of some right or privilege.
The widow of Philip l., duke OF Bur
gundy, for instance, renowned her
right of succession by putting off her
girdle on the dukes tomb" Per con-
ira, the princes of Ireland in taking
the oath of fealty to King John. laid

Didn't Eat Pork.

1t happened in a crowded railway
carriage. A very fat and bump
tious man was making a general
nuisance of himself to the other oc-
cupants of the carriage, explaining
Ia loud voice his cuteness and sue
cess in most things. Some of the
people in the carriage smiled pity
ingly, some merely looked bored,
but one solemn individual eyed the
fat boaster with stony and immoy,
able stare. The latter at last be-
came uneasy under this unwinking
scrutiny and, turning to the man,
said blusteringly:
"Well, what yer looking at ne

the ashes should be sifted to get rid of

be applied with a stiff brush and sub

may be applied directly with a trOwe)
