As winter comes on with its mo-
notony and days of dulness in the
country, the exodus of young men
from the farming towns 20 the city
Is more and more marked. Here in
Boston it is estimated that at this
particular season of the year thou
sands of farm hands and farmers
SOILS come into town, attracted by the
briskness and bright activity of city
life, md all bent upon obtaining some
sort of situation that shall at least
keep body and soul together.
In city newspaper not long ago
appeared an advertisement calling for
the services of a competent young
man in the Office of large manu-
featuring firm. The wages offered
were So a week! And for that
amount, which can scarcely provide
food and lodging for any one VINO de-
sires to live in decency, there were
doubtless hundreds and hundreds of
applicants. The same story can be
told of most other occupations.
When, If ever, will the youth of the
farm learn that unless he is equipped
with trade, he i5 infinitely worse off
in great city than in the peace and
plen y of his rural home? Here he
finds nerve wearing struggle for
existence in vocations where compe-
tition is almost murderously fierce
there he is sure of good food and
plenty of it; of adequate clothing and
a comfoI table home. Even if he is
merely hired hand, he fares far bet
ter financially, morally and physical
ly in the country than he could rea-
sonably expect TO in the metropolis
Spite of all these Acknowledgements
most young men in farming districts
cannot or will not appreciate-tht
drift is inevitably cityward. So i
will probably continue TO be unit
some day hard times shall suddenly
descend upon the land. They viii
furnish lesson SO terrible that ever
the back districts will take it serious

who hear ii. There is no good IN 1t
whatever. it is nearly always unjust,
and without exception, uncertain.
1t is very difficult to be sure when
anyone is to blame for anything. 1t
is much safer to assume that no one
is TO blame.
Why blame anyone? The matter
is past. The thing has been done. The
next thing to do is to try to prevent
a repetition of the occurrence. Bla-
ming children. blaming scholars, bla-
ming co-workcrs, or superiors, is very
bad business. If something has hap
pened that is evidently wronc or nm
pleasant. maybe something can be
done to prevent the thing happening
again. To 90 about it in vigorous
but judic;ous way, to fix it so the

Taking No Chances.

A Glasgow steamer was laborlng IN
heavy sea, the waves sometimes
sweeping her decks, but the officers
had assured the passengers that there
was no danger, and all seemed rea-
sonably quiet with the exception Of
one meek-appearing little man, who,
every few minutes, would approach an
officer, and anxiously inquire if he
thought the ship would founder.
"No, I tell you!" one of the off,
GERS finally exclaimed, with impa~
tience. "What is the matter with
you?" Look at those other people
they are not scared to death. -
"Oh, I'm not scared' the man re-
piled; "but if the ship was going
to founder, I wanted to know lit
tie ahead of time.''
"Oh, wanted to tell your friends
good bye, and all that?'
"Well, not exactly,' the man said,
hesitatingly; "the fact is, my moth

Now is the time to prepare for har~
vesting the small grain crop. Of all
the busy months in the cotton states
the harvest times are the times of the
most work and the shortest time to do
it in. Cotton and corn crops and small
grain all need attention about the
same time.
Farmers Unions can aid each other
through these extremely busy weeks
by clubbing together and buying
binders, threshing machinery and 9TH
er costly farm machinery, that per-
haps may be too much outlay for one
farmer to foot up; and if the Union
does not see fit to buy this machinery
they can combine and contract with
some member that will do all this har-
vesting machine work for them at the
proper time, and thus make it possible
to guarantee sufficient work to justi-
fy progressive young man to invest
in an up-to-date outfit. This kind Of
work is right along the straight road
with the true principles Of the Farm
ers' Union. Farm labor is now too
high to use only behind the best farm
machinery, tools, team and imple-
ments. If one farmer cannot afford
to get the best of all these, the far
ers must combine their efforts and
help each other, so to obtain this
important help just at the time when
improved machinery is most needed
upon the farm. Union men, take hold
Of this harvest question now and get
ready for hot times ahead.

nothing but a food of one pound cot
ton seed to four pounds ruta baga
turnips boiled together, from first Of
November until April. In April the
clovers, alfalfa, spring turnips, bar
ley, rye, sorghum, with good bermuda
and other good pastures, with little
bran slops and surplus garden truck,
will keep shoats, sows and pigs grow
ing until August, when early cowpeas
and sega beans will come in. You
should fence in these beans with
cheap hog wire fence, moving it about
to suit, as you cannot afford to pick
peas FOR hogs! We are not stuck on
the plan Of turning hogs On ploughed
land, IN spring or summer to gather
potatoes, pindars, etc.. as their root
ing up the soil in wet weather does
dan1ace-besides you want rings in
their noses while on pasture and the
pea fields. We have planned to plant
IL acres Of soga beans and will Craze
these with hogs. as we'll as II acres Of
cowpeas and finishing on a little
corn. Some farmers do not seem to
know that the days Of root hog or
die" has gone, and we cannot expect
hog to root his living out Of the
ground unless there is something in
the ground to root for! A profitable
hog must be kept growing from start
to finish.
Not being sure about our proper
tions of cotton seed and ruta bagas
being a we'll balanced ration for sows,
pigs and shoats, we called on Prof.
Newman. of Clemson, who has en-
dorsed our ration as being about right
in his letter following this.

News From Excelsior.

Excelsior, April 2.-We have had
chance of rain in this section and
very little farm work has been done
the past two weeks. The farmers will
have plenty Of time though to get in
their crops from now on. A large
amount of fertilizers have been haul
ed in this section but a good deal Of
it will be put under corn. The farm
ers are beginning to learn that it
doesn't pay to raise all cotton and de-
pend upon buying their corn. In
crease your corn acreage and cut
down your cotton crop again this
year and you will reap the benefit of
it next fall. This ought to be the
motto Of every farmer this year.
Glad to learn that our friend Chips
is improving from his recent illness
and hope he will soon be himself
again.

CARDOZO SCHOOL IN NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
Representative Aiken Calls Commls
sioner Vests Attention to Re-
cent Article in 1.-THE State.

Feeling that South Carolinians had
an interest in the naming Of school
building in Washington after the ne,
gro state treasurer and convict Car
dozo and thinking that the district
commissioners would be glad to know
any adequate objection to such
thing, Representative Wyatt Aiken
when he saw the story on the subject
in the State some days ago wrote a
letter to Mr.. Henry L. West, one OF
the district commissioners, protesting
against the contemplated course. Mr.
West is a democrat. He has replied
to Mr.. Aiken's letter. The whole let
ter may interest the readers Of the
State. 1t is as follows:
Hon. Wyatt Aiken,
House of Representatives.
Dear Mr.. Aiken: I beg to ac'
knowledge receipt Of your letter In
closing clippings from the "Columbia
State,' with reference to the naming
of a school building in Washington
after the late F. L. Cardozo. [ have
examined into the records and tind
that the recommendation as to the
name was made to the commissioners
by the board of education Gin view
Of his long and eminent service to the
colored race and more particularly OF
his work in the cause of education
as principal Of the NJ Street High
school," I did not know-and | an
quite certain that the other commits
sioners were equally unacquainted
with-Mr. Cardozo's record in South
Carolina. AS far as we had any
knowledge, Mr.. Cardozo was a good
citizen in the District Of Columbia
and, unquestionably, is held IN ex'
cellent repute for his work in connec'
tion with the colored schools. In this
connection I note that the CORES,
pondent of the "Columbia State
accepts the statement that Cardozc
"bore a good character here" and
that "there is nothing that | car
learn which would indicate that he
ever managed to get hold Of any pub,
lie moneys or sell any State or nation
al bonds, appropriating the proceeds
to his private uses, as in the good ole
days of yore.'' In other words, there

Mr.. J. C. Stribling, Pendleton, S. c.,
Dear Sir:-Referring to your in
quiry concerning the feeding Of cot
ton seed and ruta baga turnips to
hogs, will say that assisted by Mr..
Burgess, I have looked up the nutrl-
tive ratio of these two feeds and find
that using them in the proportion that
you have practiced, that is 1 1-2 bush
els of cotton seed in sixty gallon
boiler. the boiler filled with turnips
and then the whole mass boiled,
makes an excellent feed for either
brood sows or young pigs. I do not
know whether you compounded this
ration for the especial purpose for
which it is used or not, but you have
hit upon the exact nutritive ratio for
brood sows and pigs, which is'l-4, and
you could not we'll improve upon it.
For brood sows without pigs, the
cotton seed meal should be decreased
and the turnips increased, since it is
not necessary under such conditions
to use feed so rich in protein.
Trusting that this may answer its
purpose, I am
Very truly yours,

The WAY We Size It Up.


The prices for your cotton next fall
is just what cotton producers make it.
Your work now is about all directed,
indirectly or directly, towards max
ing the conditions that are to rule or
control the prices Of your cotton for
! this crop and to some extent the next
crop, too.
If you help do thing yourself then
don't 60 about blaming some other
fellow for doing it.
If you can buy your grain, hay and
other farm products cheaper than
you can raise these products, then you
are not as good farmer as the other
man that does this for you, and you
can also buy your cotton cheaper than
you can grow it, too.
Few people can realize how sick
they have been until they begin to get
over it; few farmers realize what
fool they are about cotton until they
begin to buy high priced farm pro-
duets with low priced cotton.
If it takes a wise man to act wise,
and fool to act fool, then it is
natural thing to expect none but good
business men to succeed in buying
many farm products with which to
grow the one product, cotton.
How many Of these so-called "bus-
mess" farmers do you know Of that
have been up against business
proposition like this for many years
that now have nothing to show up
their business qualifications in any
form of accumulations excepting, per-
haps, family of ragged and ignorant
children and mortgaged mule or
| two?
No doubt you've heard Of the "bus-
mess woman that borrowed sitting
Of eggs from one neighbor and a
brooding hen from another-she said
she had the nest. Well, now, we are
betting on this woman coming out
ahead Of the man that buys every
thing on credit that he uses in grow
ing his crop Of cotton.
Now, this is the class Of cotton pro-
ducers that control the early cotton
market. These are the real bumpers,
and the men that furnish the supplies
Of all sorts to such unbusiness like, in
competent managers Of such an i'm
portant industry as cotton growing:
are the real responsible parties. These
never-do-wells could never rule the
cotton business unless the supply men
and the landowners put this import
ant business in the hands of such in
competent parties.
These business men and the land
owners are now coming together to
control this matter; they are requlr-
ing each Of this class of cotton pro-
ducers to diversity his crops, which
is the only way to enforce the neces-
sary fundamental principle or sys-
tenn upon which the south can ever
make her prices for her cotton and
maintain profitable prices.

out of the front door and BY the guard
at the gate. and asked him if he knew
where the fellow was that attended
to the horses. The guard volunteered
, to 60 with him and they found the
fellow at the stables. He told him to
bring him out one Of the best horses
as he had dispatch to carry and had
to go a good long ways. He did not
know whether he would try to come
back before day or not. He mounted
his horse and rode for the Confeder-
ate camp with all his might. Next
morning at daylight found him riding
up to Gen. Lees headquarters with
those papers in his pocket on as fine
horse as any yankee ever owned,
which he called his own, but he did
not enjoy owning him long, for he
rode him on one Of his trips and the
yankees came so near getting him that
he had to leave his horse and let them
have him.
Now, this was the sort Of work that
T. was expected to do. He was brave
and daring and great many OF the
boys felt uneasy for him; they were
afraid he was too daring and would
expose himself unnecessarily, which
7 think he often did, but he always
came out right side up, and went
through the whole war, with the ex-
ception Of a severe shock Of shell
bursting near his head, without a
wound.
In the summer of 1864 as we were
fighting Gen. Grant, as he came from
the wilderness, I think it was near
Deep Bottom that T went out on a
scout down on the Chickahominy
river and was going through wheat
field. The wheat was in full head
and nearly as high as mans shoul-
der. He was out between the lines
close to the yankees and was in lit
tie path when he saw two yankees COM
ing toward him. They did not see
him, so he got out to one side behind
large rock and waited FOR the yam
KEGS to come thinking he would keep
quiet and let them 60 by. But as they
drew near he saw the one in front
was lieutenant and the other a cor
poral and but one of them had a gun
He decided that he would try to cap
ture them, so as they got right up tc
him he jumped up and drew down on
them, commanding them to throw ur
their hands, at the same time telling
his own men to keep them covered
with their guns. This was ruse tc
fool the yankees and it worked like
a charm. But to his surprise there
was another yankee right behind these
two, but he had no gun and surrend'
cred without word. The lieutenant
had saber and a pistol. 7. made
them throw down their arms anc
marched all three over into ou1
lines.
In my next letter l will tell yor
more about this lieutenant and o1
kind treatment to him by T., and the
fruit it bore in the days Of reconstruc
ton. when T. and a good many Of his
neighbors were arrested as Ku-klux.
