and provision for child-life. Not

else the schoolboy clutching his
pen with inky fist or hesitating
and laundering from his dog-eared
reader. Time may be when from
that same hand will come Spen-
cerian caligraphy, or from those

notions of their novitiate. The

True, they began with ambitions
for self-aggrandizement,- which
should be the Secretary of State,
and which Of Treasury, and all of
that; but they ended by giving the
world the most sublime examples
of self-abnegation Of all the ages.
Not in vain did the Master set a
little child in their midst that day.

Pm sure the Savior smiled"
Some one said one day that we do
rot read that our Savior, when on
earth, was ever seen to smile. A
little girl heard the remark.
"What," she said, did MT Jesus
say to the little children, Come
unto Me- and they would never
have come unless He had smil-
ed"
I'm sure the Savior smiled,
Or else no little, trembling child
Had dared to venture near;
No darkening frown, no angry word,
Was ever seen or ever heard
While Jesus sojourned here"

The two-Messiah idea prevailed
to considerable extent among the
Jews. The Psalms and prophecies
obviously pictured a suffering as
well as a triumphant Messiah.
But it seemed impossible for the
Hebrew mind to apprehend that
the Sufferer and the Victor were
one and the same person; in fact,
that the Victor was such through
His suffering, The disciples, in
their novitiate, were ready to at
tach themselves to the victor Mes
siah, but they wanted none of the
sufferer.

Unhappily, hierarchical ambi-

The spirit of the little child who
was willing to be employed by the
Master-that is the anlmating
principles of His kingdom. Not
to be ministered unto, but to min
lister; not triple crown and jeweled
crosier, but basin and towel, are
badges of highest distinction.

Burr Glover In the South.

By the use of Burr clover and Ber-
muda grass perpetual winter and
summe,. growing pasture can be OBJ
tanned. We quote an extract from an
article written by ]. C. McAuliffe. Ha-
rem, Ca, upon burr clover in South
Georgia:
I'm the southern portion of the state
burr clover promises to be great
crop. In Wayne county it is grown in
big fields, and many farmers are afraid
it will take the country. One farmer of
my acquaintance down there drove me
out to his farm last November while
was stopping in the little town of Jes-
sup, and he showed ME field of forty
five arces that he had cleared of
stumps and sowed to burr clover. 1t
was then two feet deep all over the
place and hogs and cattle were doing
all they could to destroy It. The
farmers for many farms around gath
cred and wanted to know what to do
to keep on farming. In every little
corner that was not closely cultivated
the burr clover showed itself in fine
shape. told them to plant more of it
and buy cattle. That was a good way
to settle the labor question, l told
them.

1t is idle to speak OF the farmer
alone being able to solve the economic
problem of the south. Let the southern
merchant, banker and financier pro-
vide the warehouses in cooperation
with the farmer, help him to borrow
sufficient money to meet his present
obligations, put the cotton in this ware
house, organize this warehouse into
holding companies throughout the
south, have the farmers to give to this
holding company the power of attor-
Dey to sell this cotton, let the price be
fixed below which 1t is not to be sold,

citation. Then he continues: Let sam
pies be taken and placed where the
buyers of the world can have access to
them, and where these buyers may be
able to place their orders, and thus be
able to dictate prices at which we will
supply the world. Should there be q
surplus, from every business stand
point the south should own and carry
this surplus, because the moment that
1t passes into the hands of the con-
sumner 1t becomes a means by which
he can withdraw from the market and
be enabled to bear the prices of the
next crop.

Are You Going to Make soapY

As soap-making time on the farms
is at hand, I will give the best recipe
know for a good, hard soap: Take
five pounds of grease, one quart and
one cup of cold water, one can of pot
ash, one heaping teaspoonful of borax.
two tablespoonful of ammonia. Dis
solve the potash in the water, then add
the borax and ammonia, and stir in the
lukewarm grease slowly, and continue
to stir until 1t becomes as thick as
honey; then pour into pan to harden.
When firm cut into cakes. Grease
that is no longer fit to fry in is used
for this soap. Strain it carefully that
no particles of food are left in it. 1t
makes no difference how brown the
grease is, the soap will become white
and float in water. 1t should be kept
a month before uEing.-Cor. Progress

The Southern siIo.

After your silo is built what are
you going to put into it?
l suppose corn will stand first, and
sorghum next, writes Charles M. Con-
nor, vice-director of the Florida agri-
cultural experiment station, Lake City,
Fla. Corn is first, because it can be
grown so universally and is liked by
nearly all the farm animals. Also other
crops, such as cowpeas, velvet beans
and like crops can be grown with the
corn, thus making a more nearly bal
anced ration, and also increasing the
yield per acre. / have used velvet
beans alone and made very good sill
age out of them, but the silage Is

They have a tendency to clog up the
cutter; this, however, may have been
due to the make of the machine, rath-

FARMER AND PLANTER
A SOUTH cARoLINIIAN's WAY.
BY Combining Dairy With His Farm
He Secures Valuable Food for
HE Crops,

]. r. Baker, a farmer near Ker-
shaw, S. c., has a small dairy in con
nection with his farm He milks SIX.
teen to twenty cows and runs an
eight-horse farm. In his work there
are two things worthy of notice:
Last year on thirty-four acres he
made forty-two bales OF cotton.
Without the aid of cattle he could
not have made such a crop of cotton.
Raising small grain and forage for
his cattle and mules improves his
land and makes it rich in humus. The
manure from his cattle and farm ami
mails adds to the productiveness Of
the soil at lightest expense.
The second thing worthy OF notice
Is that Mr.. Baker employs white Ia
Dor. He seems to prefer it, and this
plan is worthy OF consideration. In
this county it is difficult to hire young
white men to work on the farm.
Stores, offices and cotton mills attract
them. They cannot clear more, but
they like town life better than the
loneliness of the farm. 1t would be
difficult to hire a half dozen strong,
willing white boys eighteen to twenty
one years old at $12 to $14 q month
to work whole year on the farm.
White men cannot be hired. I'M
migrants capable of doing farm work
will come slowly. In localities where
there are few negroes large land
owners should sell small farms to
young white men on time and induce
them to stay In the country. In coun-
ties where there are negroes, they
should be hired unless they have
hrst-class stock and are good tenants.
Good houses should be built and they
should be encouraged to have a gar
den, truck patch and COW. They
should be instructed as to their work
SO that they will go at it intelligently.
IL a contract is made for a term OF
years it will be better, both for laid
lord and laborers. Teach them the
difference between working their
own half-staryed mule and a strong.
lively animal, owned by the employ
er. Hiring hands the year round,
including all wet weather, is most
satisfactory. Next to that is employ
Ing hands to work for half the crop.
In that way the landlord can keep up
his land and control the planting and
gathering of the crop-Charles Petty.

WANTED MORE SNAKES.
As Means Of Bringing Sinners to Ee-

Were. What He Needed.

In rural town in Michigan lived a
family named Beaver, noted for their
aardihood in all manner CT ceughti-

of the minister's life. Finally, one
Of the boys was bit by rattlesnake
and sent for him. He found the lad
greatly scared and very penitent.
After some conversation. the reverend
gentleman closed the interview by
prayer.

for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that
a rattlesnake has bit Jim. Send an
other. we pray thee, to bite Tom. and
one to bite Joe. And, o Lord. send
the biggest kind Of rattlesnake to
bite the old man; for nothing less than
rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver
family to repentance."-Metaphysical

How to Kin the Cotton Moth.

The proper name of the insect that is
eating the leaves of the cotton plant
in Arkansas is aletia argillacea, which
is a brownish moth, its four wings
crossed with wavy lines of dark color
and marked with blush discal spot
and two white dots. It can easily be
destroyed by the use of poisons, not
injuring the cotton nor the person who
applies the poison. Use one pound Of
Paris green to every acre of cotton,
mixing ten pounds of common -four to
one pound Of the Paris green. Mix well
the flour and Paris green. divide into
two equal parts, put In thin domestic
sacks, tie each sack to end of four
foot stick. mount horse and dust the
flour on two rows at once going, and
the worm-eating moths will take their
last supper from your cotton plant.
