in Cleveland County.

Messrs. Editors: Since L contrib
uted anything to your columns, a
sooth-sayer and prophet, wiser n his
day and generation than the ground
hog. arose and predicted a very wet
season by reason OF thirteen new
moons. But in this region we are
dry as a powder house. Corn, on up
lands. is twisting and turning yell
low: a wall "oeth up from the daugh-
ters of men bv reason of the parched
gardens; but the moon prophet, the
frog, the snake, the fog, the tree
toad, the sand hill crane prophet,
and others who are wise as serpents
in ~forecasting the weather, continue
to publish their forecasts with the
solemn faith and assurance of the
Seventh Day Adventist foretelling
the end of time.
With the moon votarles, no man
dares to cut wood, kill hogs, plant
corn or make soap till he consults
the "alminick," and sees that the
moon is of the proper size and shape.
The sand-hill crane is weather
wise, and when he flies up stream
you can put on your storm coat and
hoist your umbrella. Last week one
of these long-necked fowls flew up
Hinton's Greek. and was pronounced
as having a very judicial and wealth
erwise cast of counteDance. The
skeptical were duly warned, but the
rain came not. Another delivered
his auracular opinion that on June
Is, 1905, we might look for floods on
the dry ground, for he "seed" a fog
on March Is, and hat was official.
The day appointed was conspicu-
Gus for a brazen sky and high north
east winds. Still another had "seed"
a sun dog; an unclassified specimen
not found in the lore of the Brushy
Greek nor Polkville dog syndicates.
This had been a harbinger of rain
ever since navigator Noah had his
attention called to the rainbow, and
bore the stamp of in~fallibility. Still
no rain. Another had heard the tree
toad twanging his harp, but dry
weather prevailed. The last and
most authoritative in the list, is a
preacher whose feeting life has
spanned 81 wheat harvests. AS reg
ularly as the migrations of the Wan
dering Jew. he has, annually, there
fore oftener than the visits of this
reripatetic being of tradition. fore
told in every May that this was GO
ing to be a dry year like AS. He
says mankind has departed from the
counsels of Jehovah, by following
the vain pomp and glory of the
world.
He regards all desire for amuse-
ment, pursuit of knowledge, or en-
ioyment in this world, as ungodly
levity. He continually predicts that
the Lord will rise in vengeance, and
then it follows, he and others pure in
heart shall be the saints to sit in
Judgment.
It seems that the farmers and the
weather together, have advanced the
price of cotton. I have been right
/ eously rebuked for my part in organ
izing the farmers. but maybe my
time will come to laugh yet. A man
who is in bad odor among ringsters
and their puerile satellites, and
among professional offce-seekers and
their despicable incense burners.

for he is not far from the kingdom

Ouerv and Answer About Pasture
Making.

Messrs. Editors: l have some good
bottom lands that | have cut the
oats and want to SOW in peas, and
would like for you to tell me what l
can plant with the peas that will
make me a GOOD winter and spring
pasture for hogs and cattle. Tell
me in your next issue of The Pro-
gressive Farmer. / want to try some
alfalfa and rare in September. l
want to make d permanent pasture
of this land, but want to SOW some
thing that will not be hard to get rid
of, or that will scatter over my farm.
| want to plant a small plot in Ber-
muda grass; that is fine; | have
seen lots Of that in Georgia and
Florida, and it makes a fine nasture.
I don't know if it will go to seed
here or not.

TIPPING BECOMES AN EVIL.
Discovery Of Instance Where Gifts
Were Pooled Brings About
/' Much-Needed Reform.

1t is not surprising that 1000 Paris
walters should meet and adopt resolu-
lions calling for the abolition of tipping.
says the New York Sun. The real vic
tins of the tipping system are those who
receive them. The beneficiary is the
man who owns the restaurant, the hotol
or barber shop where the tip is given
Is anything more absurd than for man
who gees into barber shop having to
pay Is cents for the shave, give the bar
Der ten cents gratuity, and drop nickel
into the open palm of the boy who
dances around him with brush? The
recent Carlton hotel case, in London,
showed how there the tips were pooled
so that when guest thought he was
paying for some little personal service
by a particular employe. he was really
helping to pay the wages of a stoker or
cook whom he had never SEEN Really,
the hotel reaped all the benefit. It is
good for the first man who tipped that
he is to-day beyond the reach Of the
tippers and tippees on whom he has
wrought SO much evil. The Paris wait
ers are to be commended

A NEW-sTYLE cAsKET.
An Innovation Which Does Away
with the Uncomfortable
Appearing Coffin.

It Is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the seleo-
ton OF a casket, for the genius Of the
twentieth century has been just as busy
in the way of funeral furnishings as in
other lines. until to-day the styles Of
caskets are quite different from what
they were fifty years ago and changing
every day.
This Is especially true In Metallic
Caskets, tho old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
up-to-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work.
One Of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket Co.,
Is what is designated as a Couch
Casket. which has the appearance Of
q comfortable couch when open, yet re-
tains all the requisite outlines Of the
best styles in regular casket work when
closed
