OVERRIDING THE DAIRY BUsI.
NESS.

Every once in awhile someone asks
II the dairy business is not likely to
be overdone. We answer now as we
have always answered, no. The popu-
lation is increasing, and In addition
to that the people are being educated
more and more to desire good dairy
products. The danger lies all in the
other direction-in underdoing the
business. The dairy industry needs
organizing on a more businessike
basis. But to overdo II is not possible.
1t takes several years to breed and de-
velop dairy COW. 1t takes intelli-
gence to feed her SO that she will give
a reasonable amount of milk After
this is done 1t. Is difficult to find any
one to milk her. The business of pro-
ducing milk is not one that appeals to
most men. as 1t is too combining. Some
day we may arrive at happy ar
rangement where the cows will auto
matically milk themselves. but we are
as yet a good way from that goal.

the supposed discovery of new sup
ply of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Heretofore
the whole supply of carbonate of pot
ash fertilizer has come from Germany,
but DIR. Cushman, OF the roads office in
the agricultural department. believes
that he has found something in this
country that will completely supplant
the German fertilizer.
Last summer when Dr. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material in his laboratory he ex-
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock large percentage OF pot
ash. He extracted this potash by cleo
tricity. but he concluded that as
ground rock is very cheap, 1t might be
worth while TO try the experiment OF
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried 1t on his own farm. and
found that the powdered rock did act
uaIly act as fertilizer.
The commercial value OF imported
fertilizer is about 500 a ton. II is
necessary in the tobacco fields and a
number of other crops require 1t. The
ground rock. on the other hand. can be
produced for about three dollars a
ton. and there is so much of 1t in tho
country that runs high in potash, and
Is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered. It trkes
about twice as much of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results as
the imported fertilizer. but even then
the difference in the price of IS and
500 is evidently a great card in IA
vor of the native material. The seien-
lists at the agricultural department re-
gard this as very important dis
covery.

More carpenters are needed

More carpenters are needed in
Leakesville. There work here in
abundance for the workmen who
handle the hammer and saw. The
contractors complain at the scarcity
of available men. THY can hardly
procure labor enough to keep their
jobs going. Bows. who are variest
novices at the work can secure from
$1.75 to g. %, while regular follow
ers of the trade have 20 trouble in
getting from 1926 to So for their
days labor. Usual hours obtain.
Several of the young men of our city
who have been contributing their
time and muscle to relieving the
situation will render it no more
bereft within a few days, as most of
them will enter High School. An
Influx OF this class OF labourers will
satisfy a want and desire heard and

PEACE AT HOME.

TEAOE Al
IT knew by the smoke that SO grace
fulley curled
Above the green elms, that cottage
was near,
And said, If there's peace to be
found in the world,
A heart that is humble might hope
for it here"
1t is just as possible toReep q calm
house as clean one, cheerful house
as q warm one, If the heads set them
selves to do SO. Where is the diff
Guilty of consulting each others weak
nesses as vol as each others wants;
each others tempers as well as each
others health; each others comfort
as well as each others character;
Peace rules the day, where reason
rules the mind" OH it is by ieav-
ing the peace at home to chance,
instead of pursuing it by system that
so many houses are unhappy. 1t de-
serves notice, also, that almost any
one can be courteous and forbearing
and patient in neighbor' house.
If anything goes wrong or is out of
tune, or disagreeable there, it is made
the best of, not the worst; even ef
forts are made to excuse it, and to
show that it is not felt; or, if felt, it
is attributed to accident, not design;
and this is not only easy, but natu-
raj, in the house of a friend. / will
not, therefore, believe what is so nat
urai in the house of another, is i'm
possible at home, but maintain with
out fear, that all the courtesies of
life may be upheld in domestic soci-
|ety. husband as willing to be pleased
at home, and as anxious to please as
in neighbor' house, and a wife as
intent on making things comfortable
every day in her family, as on set
days to her guests, could not fail to
make home happy. Let US not in
wade the point of these remarks by
recurring to the maxim about allow
ing for temper. # is worse than fol-
ly to refer to our temper, unless we
could prove that we ever CARED any
good by giving way to it. Fits of i'll
humor punish us quite as much, if
not more, than those they are vented
upon; and it actually requires more
effort and infiicts more pain, to give
them up than would be requisite to
avoid them.
Then
"Since trifes make the sum of human
things,
And half our misery from our foibles
spring;
Since iife's best joys consist in peace
and ease
And though but few can serve, yet
all may please,
Oh, let the ungentle spirit learn from
hence.
A small unkindness is a great Of
fence"
