Human Nature,

We do not shut our eyes to Nature
that we may see God, any more than
we resolve the body that we may find
the soul. We do not extinguish the
passions and appetites which are ours
by nature. We accept them as a part
of the divine life, and they take their
divinely appointed place in the king
dom, We see then what is their
subordination, which is not that of
the physical to the mental but the
physical to the spiritual The heaven.
ly does not abolish the earthly, but
consist Herewith.

Flying Fish Really Propel Themselves

been much discussed AIM many nat.
uralists have denied IL tGc power of

his many voyages has he'd uni"ue op.

1t does really fly in the proper sense
OF the word. He has seen II, for ex-

Some recent observations contributed
by Lieut. Col. Durnford to the or.

History, confirm this view. The
writer contends that the ordinary
aeroplane theory involves a mechani

becomes apparent to the eye as II
slows down when the fish reaches the

Nature Recovering It's Own.

1t was once the common practice Of
tourists to shoot birds and alligators
from the decks of steamboats, on Flor
ida rivers and lakes. This abominable
because cruel and useless, warfare was
waged until the supply of victims for
the brutality was nearly exhausted
The development of the Florida rail
way system, by which the tide of
travel has been directed from the
water courses, has had direct and
marked effect on the wild life of the
country. Instead Of the Il surely prog
ress by water craft, tourists are now
whirled through the cor"try by rail,
and the bloodthirsty contingent has no
opportunity TO deal out death at every
turn. The waters and tie shores are
once again becoming populated with
birds of plume and even the alligator
is coming again into peaceful posses
sion of his mudbank.--Forest and

Thunder-Storms and Sour
Milk.

A subscriber wants to know.
says the Missouri Agricultural ]
College Farmer, why milk often
sours more quickly just after a
thunderstorm than during ordi
nary weather. The primary cause
of sour milk is the growth of Ger
tain bacteria that are always very
numerous in the air and cannot
be kept out of the milk. These
are most abundant during damp,
heavy weather which usually ac-
companies thunder-storms, as
such weather is particularly fav.
orable to their development.
Hence, the popular notion that
thunder storms make milk sour.

TO make success of farming one
must know it as trade; he

If one has fitted himself for
farm life, he will understand the

Hog Raising in the South.
Some Valuable Data from the
Department Of Agriculture
which is of Interest to all
South Carolina Farmers.

assistant a2rlculturlst ut the
United States department Of agri.
culture, the following interesting
paper relating so the raising of
hogs IN this section of the coun-
try:
During the past few months
have had the pleasure Of visiting
several Southern farmers who
are making hog raising profit
able. This valuable adjunct to
the farm has been too much neg
lected. / he hog should be one Of
the farmers most profitable prod
ucts, since he is capable of con
verting the waste from the dairy
and stock pen and waste products
Of all kinds into pork, bacon CT
lard.
The practice of raising hogs on
cCrn alone cannot result in much
profit, certainly not until the
yield per acre is greatly increas-
ed. 1t is known that Bermuda
and Dallas grasses. (Paspalum
dalitum.) Japan clover, and on
good land alfalfa. furnish excel
lent pasturage for hogs over a
large portion of the South from
May 1 to December /, and will
last for years. Rye, rape, crimson
and bur clOvers and turnips will
furnish temporary grazing during
the remainder of the season, II
the hogs are changed from one
pasture to another every few
days. Over the greater portion OF
the South sorghum is the best
plant to grow for supplementing
any shortage that might oc.
cur in summer pas turag
The cowpea, pc nut, man
gold, cltron, pumpkin, sweet po

choke will furnish food from
August l TO May l.
Mr.. B. O. Harris, Pendleton, S
o., states that IL cost him onlv
81 cents per pound, charging lib
eral rent for grazing land, to pro
duce pork. His hogs are graZed
| on pasture of Bermuda and
Dallis grasses and Japan clover
from May to Dece Der /. The
hogs are fed on mangolds, tur
nlps, ,citrOns and skim milk to sup
plement insufficient pasturage
during summer. The food is cool
ed in winter. Mr.. Harris never
feeds corn to hogs because it is
too expensive.

Lumber Men Plotting?

The lumber men of the country are
having some sort of meeting in st.
Louis. Secretary Smith of the associa-
ton read a report Tuesday. in which
he limited at something of Importance.
He told that the big demand for
lumber in San Francisco will cause a
REIMBURSEMENT of something, presum-
ably prices, that will have an effect on
the entire territory west of the Mis-
sisSippi river. He does not state in
clear terms what the effect is to be,
but when these lumber men talk about
'readjustment' we know they are
limiting at an advance in prices. If
they can put such a thing through we
are sure it will not be confined to the
district west of the Mississippi river.
However, if the lumber men are
wise they will not give any more time
to a plan to advance prices. By this
time they should know the thing they
are called on to do is to lower prices.
They will not like to do this, but it
is sure they will have to come TO it.
The public is serving notice that the
limit has been reached and passed.
1t should not be necessary to tumble
a brick house on as wise man as the
lumber dealer.

An Army Of Tax Eaters.

Some interesting facts regarding the
multitude of clerks employed by the
government at Washington are con
tanned in the official Blue Book just
published. This shows that not fewer
various departments and that the ag-
gregate of their salaries is not far
from s27 100000 yearly.
These employees come from every
state and territory in the union and
under former political methods their
appointments would have been secured
solely in consequence of the efforts of
politicians TO whom they or their
friends had rendered useful service.
Many of the older clerks did, in fact.
secure their positions in exactly this
way. For some years. however, the
merit system of appointment by COM
petitive examinations has been in
force. and most of the younger men
were chosen in this manner.
Nevertheless. this body of clerks, al
most numerous enough to constitute
a full army corps, is able to exert a
good deal of influence in congress.
This is especially true in the case of
members of the house of representa-
tives. Federal employees who come
from their respective districts are apt
to have many relatives at home, who
can vote themselves, and who may
be able 10 sway the votes of others.
This is. perhaps. one reason why the
scheme to dismiss from the public ser
vice those clerks who had reached an
age 1T which their capacity was likely
to be lessened was so promptly sheived
although fairness requires the state
ment that us plan was open to other
objections on the score of humanity
and Justice. It is asserted that about
1,5O0 persons in the government cier-
ical force in the national capital are
eixty-five years of age or over. Mani
