The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-03-16

There are few fundamental and old
fashioned truths relating to farming
which it is as hard to make some people
recognize and live up to as 1t is with
other people and the Ten Command
ments. Among them is the fact that
the same crop cannot be grown. year
after year on the same land without
deterioration of the crop and injury to
the soil; another, that crops cannot be
continually removed from the soil at a
profit unless the soil Is fed and rested,
this corresponding to the ancient max
Inn, Thou shalt not steal;1 another,
that the tile drainage Of land will make
1t drier in wet time and wetter In
dry time; another, and perhaps the
most important of all, is that it always
pays better to grow a big crop on a
small acreage than poor crop on
large one

ANOTHER JOKE.

over in the store of the gas COM
pany, corner of Broadway and First
street, they keep for sale parlor gas
stoves, open in front and copper
lined, which makes them have the
appearance of having fire in them.
On Tuesday morning one of them
was standing on the floor OF the store
without being lighted or ven a gas
tube attached, when Sylvester Pull
len, of First street, came in and walk
ing up to the stove rubbing his hands,
bent over the stove to warm them,
at the same time saying it was a
pretty cold morning. After standing
a few seconds rubbing his hands, he
exclaimed a fire feels good on a cold
morning like this. After a short
time he began to closely scrut-
inize, when he said, well, this is a
joke. thought there was a fire in
this The parties in the store did
not laugh, oh, no, but | don't think
