WHEN HE THINKS mes RICH.

When is a man richi Perhaps
When he thinks he is rich.
The popular conception Of riches is
the amusement of great wealth. A
man whose exchequer represents
revenues beyond his rational needs
and his reasonable..i Injuries will
be popularity designated HIS rich. 1t
must be remembered, however,
that the standard of wealth, like
the standard of many other things.
has been raised. spontaneously
with the evolution OF civilization,
we Gnd human wants multiplying,
making larger incomes necessary
for the satisfaction Of those wants.
In the days Of onr graudfathers
the nan who could draw his check
for hundred, thousand dollars
wonld have been reckoned one OF
plutocrats of the times. II is not
so now. This is The century of
colossal fortunes. 1t is estimated
that the income of Mr.. Rockefeller
is 500 n minute. This is wealth
with a vengeance, whilesthe pros
pective millionaire is becoming a
very interesting possibility of
the future.
After all, what is it we are so
strenuously pursuingi CoDcretely,
it is happiness This logically
leads to "A philosophical differen.ia-
ton of pleasure aad happiness. 4
Our pleasures are objective They
are inseperably connected with en-
vironmens. They are prismatic,
delusive, and derive their greatest
force from anticipation. CONVEX
sely, happiness is growth from
within. Happiness, or true riches,
is to be discovered in the attain
ment of nobility Of character, in
the cultivation Of altruistic i'm.
pulses, in becoming self-reliant, in |
the enjoyment Of those blessed
reactiouary influences that come
from uplifting the unfortunate.
The trouble with money getting
Is that it becomes q mania; begets
The spirit Of discomfort. It feeds
IN itself. Each million brings new
,ares, new anxieties, the necessity
'or new safeguards against the day
If calamity, when our riches jump

THE WHIPPING POST.

Not many people are aware thai
whipping criminals at the post is
still practiced in this country. But
the practice still prevails in the
State of Delaware.
The warden Of the Delaware
penitentiary, whose unpleasant
duty it is to whip those who are
condemned to be dashed at the post,
insists that the system Of punish
ment il failure, that it brutalizes,
but does not correct nor prevent
crime. Before the New Century
Club at Wilmington recently he
said:. ~ find the character of the
men at the post determines the
size and character Of the crowd at
tending. It excites their sympathy
and they decry against justice and
the laws Of the State. They are
not as good cisizens as before. !"
He then goes on to show by
statistics that Delaware, with
the whipping post method Of pun
ishing petty offenders, has, with q
few exceptions, greater amount Of
crimes charged against her, accord
ing to population, than the other
states of the Union.
There are classes Of offenders
who appear so lost to all feeling
ofself-respect or of moral obliga-
ton that the only way to reach
them seems to be through their
hide. Exasperated and Mortified
at the testimony against wife |
heaters, for instance, several emf
nent Illinois jurists:ihave recon.
mended that punishment at the
whipping possible made the penalty !
for such offenses. Other examples |
Of similar recommendation could ]
be given But it is not q question
Of Furnishing the offenders, but the
effect that such punishment would
have upon the public.
The Delaware warden, after
years Of careful observation, con-
clusion that the punishment excites
the sympathy Of those who witness
it, or know Of it; that they decry
justice and tho laws Of the
State, and are not sach good citi-
sens as before. Such testimony

reds OF sentences against wretches

REASONS
Why our Vinol Is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in . concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop Of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil OF
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far moro good.
Because we have never sold anything
IN our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after q severe
sickness.
vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
"Vinol Il the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use Il entirely
in al cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money II you arc not satisfied.

Forage Crop for Hogs.

I am aware that there is a diversity of opinion among swine breeders and feeders as to what kind of pasturage is best think we should be guided mainly by the character of the soil In concluding what Is best adapted to our section; and as I am to give what is preferable for the black lands, after mature consideration. I have put alfalfa pasturage at the top of the list, but I must admit that the hog does best on a variety of pasturage. In discussion of this subject at a swine breeders' meet ing George P. Lillard said he preferred an oat pasturage to any other, but ad- mitted that wheat pasturage was ex- cellent and Bermuda grass plot an es- sential requisite. H. E. Singleton, the Lone Star expert swine breeder, agreed that oats. wheat and Bermuda pastur- age was ordinarily sufficient in the pro- duction of cheap pork. It Is true that the chances to raise pork at 2 cents per pound are greatly increased by add ing alfalfa, especially where it grows so well as on our North Texas fertile black lands. It can't be grown where cotton dies, nor on black land with an under stratum of white rock or gravel
 I may be excused for giving my ex- perience with alfalfa. wheat. oats. sor- SHNn, Nooo ohu oPO oh my ooop EiCh black uplands in Collin County, Texas. find that on land that will grow four tons of alfalfa can graze twenty head of hogs per acre for six months in the year; wheat for five months for fifteen hogs per acre; oats for four months for twelve hogs per acre: sorghum two months seventeen hogs per acre. and rape. 1t being my first crop can't tell what Is approximately correct. Not withstandins I class alfalfa as a per- feet pasture for hogs, yet I would not and could not dispense with wheat. oats, sorghum and pea pasturage. The far mer who expects to raise pork at to ? 1-2 cents. which Is the minimum cost. according to my estimate. will find that best results are gotten by the greater variety of pasturage, and by growing such valuable auxiliaries as rape, man.

' earlier stages of maturity. At that sta- tion the most satisfactory treatment for preventing the stinking smut Of wheat was the immersion of the seed wheat for twenty minutes in . solution
 made by adding one pint of formalin to forty-two gallons of water. At the Alabama station, practically the same strength of formalin solution has been very satisfactorily used as a means of
 preventing the ordinary or loose smut
 of oats Farmers are especially urged
 to give this treatment to seed oats, as
 It usually results in an increase of from
 per cent to 25 per cent in the yield of
 grain.
 At the Ontario Experiment station hairy ystch yielded eight and sixteenths
 bushels of seed per acre. Tn Missis-
 sippi the yield was more than five bush :
 els per acre. Remembering that yetch
 seed is now now worth nearly s per
 bushel, and that the cost of seed Is the
 chief obstacle in the way of the general
 use of this. the most universally val
 uable of our winter growing forage
 plants. we should be encouraged to
 save our own seed. However. the saw
 ing of vetch seed is DO easy task un-
 less they be allowed to drop on the
 land where grown. In the writer's ex-
 pericnce at Auburn. thu. attempt to save
 vetch seed from smalT areas of land
 has sometimes. been thwarted by in-
 sects which eat the green pod. Prob-
 ably this difficulty would not occur in
 saving vetch seed on larger areas The great value of leguminous plants, or which vetch Is a fine example, Is H.
 frustrated by the following results: Even on very rich land at the Ontario
 station wheat following Canada field peas. plowed under. yielded six and five- tenths bushels more per acre than on land where buckwheat, a noh-legumin- ous plant. was plowed under On still richer land under irrigation at the Mon- tana experiment station, the yield of oats was nearly twice as much when the proceeding crop was either Canada field peas or red clover than where 1t was wheat, barley. or oats. Following sugar beets also, che yield of oats was greater than following small grains. | This was because of the late cultiva- tion given to the beets. which served to prepare the nitrates for the use of the succeeding crops. somewhat similar explanation can be made of the better crops immediately succeeding cotton than are usually obtained after corn having no cowpeas between the rows.
 At the Oklahoma experiment station, which is not very far north of North Alabama. the average yield from sow ing wheat about the middle of Septem-
 Der was thirty-one and eight -tenths bushels per acre. From sowing about ! the middle of October, thirty-one and
 one-tenth bushels, and from sowing
 about the middle of November only twenty and five-tenths bushels.
