SaggeStiOa to Farmers.
There are doubtless but few
farms in this vicinity that have
not a few acres of thin land on
them. I should like to suggest
a method of building up
these thin places without the
use of stable manure, PlJw
the ground and make a good
seed bed. Sow, drill or double
row with a planter, cowpeas and
cane together. This will make
d good growth most any kind
of season. Then several farm
ers can order together a Car of
Tennessee rock phosphate.
Sow this on this crop with a
good endgate seeder late in the
fall (before frost) and plow the
crop under. There will thus be
an excellent crop of green ma.
nure to act upon the phosphate,
and by spring the ground ought
to be decidedly improved. The
cowpeas and cane alone. thus
turned under will benefit the
ground, for l have tried it, aud
the rock phosphate will bene-
fit it much more, for our soil
has been found to be deficient
in phosphoric acid.

Opie Read and His
Experience In Texas

@PIE READ, who recently made 1
lecture tour through Texas, tell.
this story of an experience ht
had down there:
''You know" says Mr.. Read, trains
are never expected to be on time in
Texas. When train is scheduled to
arrive at s o'clock you are generally
safe in calculating that it will not get
there till II or u. Well, | had an en-.
gagement In a certain town one night
and was at another station about
twenty miles away. There was train
which would land me at the objective
point at I o'clock In the evening, IL II
happened to be on time, but | thought
It would be well to make inquiries. In
reply to my question the station agent
said:
i reckon there amt no use expectin'
the train to get here much before 10
o'clock. It's been on time once this
year, but 1t amt no ways safe de-
pendin ON it.
"Not being in a position to take any
chances hired man with buggy to
take me across country. After the lee
ture l found a number of travelling
men at the hotel, and they were all
anxious to get away. There was a
train scheduled for 715 in the morn
ing, but the landlord said he reckoned
1t wouldn't be along much before noon,
as 1t had never arrived on schedule
time or if it had nobody remembered it.
"Still, we all got up bright and early
the next morning. none of US being dis
posed to miss the train If 1t happened
to be on time and we were thrown into
state Of great excitement when at
ITO there was long toot, heralding
the trains approach. Everybody hur-
ried down to the station and there,
right on the dot Of 7:15, the train pulled
in. We were so happy at the prospect
Of getting away and so filed with en-
thusiasm over the engineers achieve
ment in bringing the train through. on
time that we decided to make up a
purse for him. When everybody had
Clipped in a spokesman was appointed,
and he went to the cab to present the
money. After he had made felicitous
little speech the cash was offered, but
the engineer pushed it away, saying:
Gentlemen, l fully appreciate your
good will and the generous spirit which
has prompted you to make up this
purse, but l cannot accept the money.
My conscience will not permit me to
do 1t. This is yesterdays train. "-Chi-
