TANNING A HORSE.

Most Savage Animal.

There were trouble and excitement
one day on ranch In Colorado. A
high spirited, half broken stallion was
prancing about the yard attached to
the ranchers house He had just
thrown cowboy who boosted there
was nothing on four legs he could not
ride, and he was rearing and bucking
so that not even the pluckiest man on
the ranch dared to approach.
While the men were standing around
wondering what to do the raneher's
sixteen-year-old daughter came out OF
the house and calmly walked up to the
excited animal.
When he saw her he ceased rearing,
whinnled and stood still She just put
her hand on his name, stroked his nose
and then vaulted lightly on his back

Gray must surely have been a reader
in bed. A man who wished to be for

the faces of his favorites in the night
hours. Elijah Fenton, a now forgotten
coadjutOr OF Pope, was accustomed TO
lie abed at his lodgings, we are told,
and be fed with spoon, but Grny's
love of ease was not of this type. Gray
was bookman, and most bookmen

would be taxed to their utmost capacity to handle
fertilizers for cotton, SO great were the prepara-
tons now being made to increase the cotton acre
age. THE farmers said he, ARE going to aban-
don corn this year and concentrate on cotton
and then next winter we will have an immense
corn traffic from the West According to his
view. this meant a great traffic hauling cotton
ont and a great traffic hauling corn in, and,
therefore. the change was a matter for congratu-
lation, This is a short-sighted policy, for, while
temporarily it means an increase in railroad
traffic. it is not for the best interests nor the
permanent prosperity of the South. 1t would be
q serious mistake for the farmers of the South
to lessen their attention to corn and other food
stuffs. The progress made during the last few
years should be maintained and the South be
made wholly Independent in it's food supplies for
man and beast. The terrific slump in cotton last
week proves how quickly prices can at times be
beat down, and with a very heavy increase IN
acreage as an excuse it might be possible for
speculative manipulation to force cotton below a
remnuerative profit to the grower. The intrinsic
strength of the situation should enable the South
for some years to come to secure profitable prices
for it's cotton, but if Southern farmers concen-
trate all their attention on cotton, and neglect dl-
versifed agriculture, they will kill the goose that
is now laying golden eggs"

making such magazines possible. Every time you
patronize one of our advertisers and mention our
magazine you are making it pay. A part OF the
money you send to him he sends to us, and we
give it back to you again in a magazine that
actually costs more than twice what we get tor
it. That is the whole story of modern magazine
publishing. The publishers who don't allow too
much of the advertising money to stick to their
fingers, but pass it on to you in a constantly I'M
proving magazine, are the publishers who win out.
You can make or break a publisher. You can
buy his magazine and still break him. just pay
no attention to the advertisements and the trick
is done. On the other hand, if you wish to en-
courage him, and actually make him (to bring it

VALUE OF THE RURAL SCHOOL LIBRARY.

In a personal letter to the Editor, County Sup
erintendent G. W. Massey, speaks very enthusiast
tically of his experience with rural school Ii
braries in Durham County:
"In number of volumes our libraries now range
from about one hundred and ten to five hundred
Volumes" he says. owe have between five thou
sand and six thousand volumes in our twenty
eight white school libaries. These libraries have
simply revolutionized public sentiment in regard
to schools and education in Durham County.
They continue to ~row in interest. The teachers,
the pupils, the parents, the old grandfathers and
grandmothers-all the people that can read are
reading books. The placing of these libraries has
done more for the cause of education in this
county, and promises to do more in the future,
than any one thing that has been done here with
in the last decade"
Superintendent Joyner gives us the gratifying
information that all over the State interest in the
rural school library is more intense than ever be-
fore and that the entire State appropriation will
almost certainly be exhausted before the next
Legislature meets. lie your county has not ap-
piled for it's full proportion of the money, and
your school is yet without library advantages, act
promptly lest some other community prove itself
more progressive by getting ahead of you.

PLANT CORN, SOUTHERN FARMERS

This is the advice given by the Manufacturers
Record in it's last issue, and we think this counsel
and the reasons given by the Record for the faith
that is in it, deserve especial attention. We are
not among these who believe that cotton will drop
next fall to the prices prevailing three or four
years ago. We expect cotton to bring a fair
price, because there will be no surplus from last
years crop, and because the boil weevil and the
scarcity of labor are likely to prevent the pro-
duction of a very large 1904 crop. But while we be-
lleve cotton will bring a fair price, we also be-
lleve that corn and food supplies will bring ex-
cellent prices. And if the war in the Far East
should involve other nations, as not improbably
1t may do, the demand for American corn and
wheat is likely to carry prices still higher. It is
no time to reduce the acreage in corn, and we
take pleasure in reprinting herewith the editorial
OF the Manufacturers Record mentioned in the
beginning of this paragraph:
"A few days ago a leading railroad officer, dis
cusslng the prospects of freight traffic, stated that
in his territory in the central South the road.

MARKET QUOTATIONS TWENTY-SIX YEARS

Finding among some waste papers last week a
copy of the old Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic
of February 81, 1873, we were considerably inter
ested in comparing the market quotations of to-
day with those of February, tWenty-six years ago.
1t is rather remarkable how little change a quar-
ter of a century has brought about. Compare our
market quotations for February 20, 1904, as found
on another page, with the Farmer and Mechanic
quotations for February 30, 1878, as follows:

whose men are still at work. The
cause of the reduction in the scale is
explained by the manager of the Car
diff mill who claims that the trust
mills are paying but 40c per ton while
he has been paying sc more. He
caused the price to be lowered sc to
meet the competition in cost of pro-
duction. The miners union claim
that while the trust mills are paying
but 40c they are paying sc for loading,
which is equivalent to the price paid
by the Cardiff mill. The number of
men now out is nearly 200 and there
are no indications that the matter will
be adjusted soon. The business for
the mills is just starting and the walk
