he conducts his farm: Ny plan for

fix my land well before 1 plant 1t, and
it pays me well for my trouble. 1 turn
my land in the fall and subsoil in the
spring, cut it with a harrow as deep
as two 1,200-pound mules could pull ii,
then put about 800 pounds of fertiliz-
er to the acre and / cultivate that well.
1 make a bale of cotton to the acre and
twenty-five to thirty bushels Of corn
and twenty TO twenty-five bushels Of
wheat and the pea-vines, no end to
them. Some say they can't rotate their
crops, but that is mistake, for dc
and know that others can If they will
try. Follow wheat after corn, corn
after cotton, cotton after stubble.

one terrified glance around and to
hear a noise he knew only too we'll
Without an instant's hesitation he
jumped overheard from the opposite
side of the boat. For as he looked he
caught sight Of the jaws of big
shark which, spying this tempting
morsel of plump little darby boy.
had leaped toward the careened boat
with open mouth. So vigorous was
the sharks leap that as Pedro went
over one side of the boat the shark
Topped in at the other. Not being used
to these surroundings, and missing his
prey, he foundered around until his
head bore down the gunwale and he
slid from the careening boat into the
sea again before the people on the
steamer could fling harpoon at him.
Almost as he disappeared poor Pedro's
head popped up on the opposite side
of the boat, and in terrible fright
he clambered into the dingey again, as
thoroughly scared a young darby as
ever had narrow escape.
Had he not thus saved himself from
the maneater, help from the steamer
would have been necessary. and even
then it is more than probable that the
boy would not have bee,l saved. This
is remarkable instance of the feroci-
ty Of shark seeking his prey out of

A QUIET FOURTH.

When Margaret and Constance had
beer at Hilltop Farm for a week.
Constance suddenly interrupted Mar
garet one morning as she was reading
aloud. "Margie,- she exclaimed, ex-
eitedly, II do believe we have found
a place where we shall not hear a sia-
gle f1recracker upon the Fourth:
'Don't you remember how We both
sighed for 1T two weeks ago, whel ev-
cry little noise set us jumping, aud We
were looking for the quietest place in

would be quiet on the Fourth was too

Margaret, we have found it! Just

daily upon forty miles OF view and
seen just three persons pass upon this
highway! Under those circumstances
who is there to fire cracker? Mr.,

There's Phineas," Margaret sug-
gested-
"Phineasr' her friend returned,
scornfully. "If Phineas had ever had
a 1recracker in his life do you suppose
he would be Phineas? He's nothing
but the shell OF boy. I'm sorry for
Phlneas, but a. least he insures our

Forage for Hogs.

The small farmer can Ill afford to
raise hogs without providing one OF
more forage crops for them These are
necessary from an economical as well
as sanitary standpoint, as when a hog
has access to plenty Of forage 1t will
thrive better than on an exclusive
grain ration. Among successful for.
age crops for hogs 1 highly regard
clover, cowpeas, soy-beans, sweet pota.
toes and Spanish peanuts. writes God.
frey Winkler, In Midland Farmer.
Sorghum is not to be despised. And
as with many of these crops hogs can
do their own harvesting, it saves labor
to some extent.
In a test at the South Carolina ex-
pertinent station four lots Of pigs were
used. One lot was fed Spanish pea.
nuts. one was fed sweet potatoes, one
cowpeas and the remaining lot was
fed corn. The yield Of Spanish pea
nuts was 90 bushels; of sweet potatoes.
200 bushels; cowpeas, 10 bushels. The
amount of the different feeding stuffs
required to produce one pound Of pork
was as follows: Corn, COZ pounds;
Spanish peanuts, 4.43 pounds; sweet
potatoes, 32.17 pounds, and cowpeas
4.e1 pounds. Now taking in account
the gains made and the yield Of the
different crops, md rating pork at 81
cents per pound, the corn was So pei
