Knows His Friends.

A farmer in speaking before an in
stitute of his profession recently said
GAS rule the farmer knows no
firmer friend than the country press.
The home paper is distinctly the
farmers own paper, supported in
directly by the farmers who compose
the back bone of the printers subscrip-
tion list and largely for what the en-
terDrising merchant advertises. Now,
brothers, let us not forget our friends.
Let us see that our subscription is
paid before the first of January and a
year in advance IL we can afford it,.
The man or the paper that fights my
battles shall have my support. An
other thing, the merchants who adver-
tise are the ones who make it possible
for us to get a good local paper, and
the men or firms who are too penur-
ious to advertise and help support
the local press have no right to the
farmers patronage. | propuse hereaf-
ter to 60 to good live advertiser and
a man who will do his share in sup
porting the local press, thus contri-
buting to my support, rather than buv
of the man who proposes to take all
and give nothing in return. If farmers
as class would support their friends,
the other fellow would soon go out
of business. -

Cabbage "Snake" Found.

At last the dreaded" cabbage snak Q
has found its way to Fayette. A few
days ago, while preparing cabbage
for the table, Mrs. Frank Sherman
saw q slender white object wriggle
out of the vegetable. She caught the
crawling visitor, and examination
proved it to be cabbage snske-the
creature which has tumbled the price
to the bottom and made cabbage a
drug on the market. This particular
serpent is OH exhibition at Walker
about the size of linen thread, and
white. Microscopic examination has
revealed that it has head and eyes.
1t is not fierce in it's actions, but it is
alive, it moves and it scares folks.
Ii. +. Summers, state entomologist,
says of the pest: 1.-The long slender.
white worms usually found near the
heart of the cabbage. are not new, but
have been we'll known to students of
this group of animals for long time
past. AS they are quite common in
cabbages, it is entirely unlikely that
if they were injurious the fact would
not have been discovered long ago,
and the exact cause of the injury
studied. 1t seems most probable there
fore, that some accidental sickness has
been wrongly attributed to these
worms because no other cause could
be found. Postal Gard.
