Serving Waiting Customers.

The ginner's lot is not generally a
happy one. The reason is that, as a
rule, he is serving waiting customers.
II a belt becomes unlaced, or any
trihing delay occurs, it is a warm
time around the g~inhouse-and the
warmest nan about is the owner.
The occupation, therefore, is peculiar,
and demands preparation not essen
tial in other lines. The first, in the
order of procedure, is to buy early so
as to be ready for the first few scat
tering bales that come in. The han
ding of these will give a fine chance
to try and to adjust everything, and
get the help trained. No modern gin
merry should be started with the yard
full of cotton. The help is excited,
but none more so than the owner, and
if things don't go off just right from
the jump, he gets a shock to his con-
fidence which it takes weeks to over
come. What upsets him completely
wouldn't phase an experienced man,
and the less he knows the worse he
is scared. The other things he should
do are to buy from a responsible
house, buy the best and get the best
help to be had.

Pork Curing in the South.

When you kill your pork hogs, cut
the bacon, spread it, and let it lie long
enough to get out all the animal heat.
Then salt it down-covering it thor
oughly with salt. When it has sailed
long enough, hang it and let it dry
we'll; then subject it to the following
process t. keep it sound and sweet
by keeping off the skipper fly:
Get you some ashes, by burning
sweetgum, hickory, and maple, either
separately or all mixed. Take down
your meat about the first of March,
wipe it well to get all the skipper eggs
off. Have a rack of round sticks, on
which other sticks are laid twelve
inches apart; lay the meat on it, and
cover over the feshy part well with
ashes. AS soon as the skipper fly
makes it's appearance, use the COM
mon fly poisons in ~smokehouses, make
up just as for house flies; renew it
twice a week, and it will attract the
attention of the skipper flies, and kill
them, and u out the rats, too. Ii
the above recipe is followed strictly
there will never be a skipper in the
whole number of your hams and
shoulders. A dark and tight house is
always preferable, SO that the venti-
lation comes down through the top OF
the house, which should be we'll wired
to keep the flies from coming down.

FOURTEEN MISTAKES OF LIFE.
Are You Making Any Of Them In
Your Life?

Some thoughtful person has con-
densed the important mistakes of life
and decides that there are just IA OF
them. Most people believe there is
no limit to the mistakes of life; that
they are like drops in the ocean,, or
the sands of the s%eashore, in number.
But here are the IA great mistakes:
1t is a great mistake to set up u
own standard of right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of others
by u own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
the world.
To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To yield to fmmaterial trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate all that needs allie
Walton so far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the in
firmities Of others.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what u finite
minds can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.
To believe the Almighty made n
almost perfect individual, and that
you are that one.

FARriER AND PLANTER
AS a NORTHERN MAN SEES Us.
Urges the South TO Welcome Young
Farmers from the North.

My heart is with agriculture, and l
think the south is the best opening
of any part of the country. II only
the largest plantations could be cut
up into small farms, and instead OF
paying as much attention to foreign
immigration, pay more attention to
the young farmers of the north. There
are hundreds of young industrious
farmers of the north who would be
only too glad to. settle where they
could have a chance to get @ home
of their own, but they cannot see their
way to buying 1000 or more acres, as
they have very little money, but II
they could buy 40 to 100 acres, and be
made to feel at home, and their neigh
bors were friends. and considered
them as social equals, the south In a
few years could indeed be made to
blossom as a rose. / think our young
farmers Of the north are the ones to
build up the south for the benefit OF
both. There are hundreds of them
up here with good teams and i'm
proved farming implements, but with
very little money, who can never hope
to own a home here, but who, with
their understanding of diversified
farming and knowledge of the bene-
fits of improved stock, could go south
and in a few a own a home. But
If they go to look for a home, of course
they have to depend upon real estate
agents, who wan to sell them as
large tracts of land as possible, and
instead of showing them small tracts
in perhaps more desirable locations,
will show them large plantations 80
far back they are discouraged from
attempting to assume so much indebt.
edness and from placing their families
out Of reach of school and social facili-
ties. 1t looks to me the remedy is
for the states to see to settling the
northern farmers of limited means
(the rich ones can take care of them
selves near the towns on small farms.
which will keep spreading and build
ing back, until the whole country Is
filled and peopled with small prog
ressive farmers as is this country to-
day.
l have made a couple of trips south
IL .as last two years. / have farmed
for 25 years of my life. n l think
the south a fine place for progressive
farmers. I tell the farmers here II
they can make money on $500 per acre
land, and feed their stock s months
in the year, what could they do in the
south on $40 land, and feed only 2 or
3 months? While there are so many
young farmers with limited means up
here wanting homes, and willing to
work for them, I don't like to see sucn
efforts made to get foreigners located
where these people should be.-W. T.

CHANGE in 'kERcHIEF STYLES
Plaid Effects With Small Initial OF

It seems odd that SO Insignificant an
article as a handkerchief should

definitely this season, and the popu
lar plaid effect pervades even those
of fine quality, the only embroidery on
them a very small, neat initial or mon
ogram.
The initials are preferably done In
block type. as this keeps the entire
appearance Of the handkerchief on
the simplest order. The plaid lines
are either printed in color. one tone

raised cords or a different weave. usu'

small peg that will fit so tightly that
the button will not slip.
Leave the peg nearly three times
as long on one side of the button as
1t is on the other, and white each
end to a smooth point. This will en-
able you to spin the top on either
the long or short end, and the differ
ent motions produced will add greatly
to your amusement. To set it in mo
ton twirl the peg between the thumb
and forefinger of the right hand or
the palms of both hands, and at the
same time drop it gently upon a floor
or some other smooth surface. Figure
1 will show how this top is made and
how it looks when spinning on the
long end of the peg.
In Figure 2 there is an illustration
of a whip top. This is a general fav-
orite, and can be easily made, says
the Montreal Herald. Take a piece of
wood that is shaped like a cylinder,
and about one and a half inches in
diameter. With the compasses mark
out the exact center of the stick at
end. At this point bore a small
hole into which drive a piece of iron
wire. This wire should be cut off
about three-eighths of an inch from
the wood.
Now make two circles around the
wood. The first ore is to be an inch
from the end in which the wire has
been driven, and the other n three
quarters of an inch beyond. Com
mence at the first circle, and with a
sharp knife cut the wood down to a
point and smooth this cut surface
with a file. The picture shows the
exact shape in which the top should
be made.

Money in Onions.

At Cuthbert, Ga, MI. S. B. McHan
grew and sold $110 worth of onions
upon one-fourth of an acre. He spws
the Bermuda onion seed in the fall and
~transplants them in the spring. He
puts on stable mi and grows at
the rate of 400 pounds per acre. Had
rows eighteen inches apart and on
ions from four to six inches in drill.
Mr.. McHan also made good money
growing beans. He has only a small
place in town, but makes a good liv-
ing by knowing how to do and by doing
the work with his own hands. There
is ample room for several men to do
likewise around all our small towns
and near our large factories. Wher-
ever a man will grow stuff either ar
linr or better than any n else he
c:tn sell at coed prices and make
money. There is plenty of room for
all who vol learn to grow good onions

comes for your manure and work, and
the more you expend the better re-
turns you may expect.

But have you ever tried double tit

in cut, and, as you can readily see,
there are nearly twice al many spaces
for moves as in the old game, and of
course nearly twice as much quick

Sweet or Sour Milk.

Would you advise feeding calves
sour milk, or giving them sweet milk
all the timer" a Missouri subscriber
asks. 1t is perhaps best to feed sweet
milk all the time or our milk all
the time. The calves-and good ones
at that-may be raised on sour skim
milk if properly handled. Milk decid.
eddy sour is better than that known
as "~blue-john." We do not mean that
it should become very sou before
feeding. Some dairymen lever use
sour milk until the calves are large
enough to go on a full ration of sour
milk. If one has a separator it is, Of
course, not necessary to use SOU milk.
It is more convenient in that case to
feed it sweet. And perhaps that is
the better plan, all things considered.

Sleep, and how much OF 1T b aver

he had done nothing else, in the eight
hour class, says the Youths Compan-
ion. An abundance of sleep for young
people during the period of growth
was urged with unanimous insistence.
and the advice was REINFORCED by a
letter from the head of a boys school,
where the breakfast hour had been
changed from seven O'Clock to eight,
with an immediate Improvement in
the character OF the work done.

Celery for thu Home oardeNy

j Celery for thu Home Garden
The waning OF sumfner acts a. Z
gentle reminder to the home gardener
that, in order to have q crop pf celery
for winter use. it is desirable to get
the plants into the ground before the
season Is too far advanced.
Celery culture, to be successful.
must rely upon deep sol, the deeper
the better, for thereby the roots are
not dried out, as Is the case when the
tiny rootlets come close to the sur.
face in a mad search for moisture.
Celery plants require that the roots
be cool, with plenty OF water, but not
stagnant water. 1t is considered ad-
visable, therefore, before planting, to
prepare the ground thoroughly and
deeply.
Having the ground In good, work
able condition, the next step Is plant
ing out. The easiest way to do this Is
to make a six-inch deep furrow, filled
in with three inches of fine, well-rot-
ted manure of rich compost. The fur
row is then filed in nearly level with
the surface with good soil mixed with
manure. Dwarf, ~self-blanching celery
may be selected for the home garden,
and this should be planted in rows
two and a half feet apart, and not
closer than six inches in the ROY The
tall sorts take up a good deal OF room
in the garden.
The best day for planting celery is
a dull one, when the sun will not
have a chance to burn the roots OF
the young plants. 1t might be well to
soak these before removing from the
seeded or box, so that the roots Will
more quickly mingle with the soil In
the new home. Another good plan is
to trim off the tops-say one-third-
and dip the roots in water. AS a re-
suit of this the plants will soon send
out strong, healthy roots, before
throwing energy into the tops.
