About the only butchering there IS
now done on the farms is the behead-
ing and dressing of the ROSTERS when
the presiding elder comes or there IS
quarterly meeting in town or chicken
pie social on deck to raise the parsons
salary. All meat products now leave
the farm alive even to the poultry. and.
while this new method has relieved the
home folks of good deal of work,
there Is in way distinct loss, for the
truth Is it is simply impossible TO Sc
cure the fine smoked and salted meats
which in the old days used to be cured
on the farm The biggest fool trick TO
be seen on the farm today is the selling
of meat on the hoof and the buying
back of hams. bacon and porterhouse

PRESIDENTS MOTHER.
A Correspondent Writes in De-
Tense Of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Editor Southern Sentinel:

Editor Southern Sentinel:
We are told there is a man i'm
Your town whose chief diversion
Is to expatiate on the unworthy
origin of Theodore Roosevelt.
1t is,strange that this talk has
been coincident with the presi-
dents southern tour when the
papers and magazines have said
so much about the high social
standing of his mothers family.
And we hear there is some
thing said about a separation.
The writer has pretty we'll kept
UP with Theodore Roosevelt for
the last seven years and has never
seen the least suggestion pertain
ing to the elder Mrs. Rooselt's
domestic infelicity. Anyway we
do not care to pry into the private
domestic relations of the chief
executive anymore than the pri-
vate affairs of our nearest nelgh-
Dor.
To know that president is
worthy, though of humble origin,
should satisfy all good citizens;
but to know that president can
lay just claim to an ancestry
which only few of US van boast
and to maternal pedigf(a which
extends back to Scottish kings,
should be more than satisf yipg to
as and to the dignity of the re-
public.

Where the writer lives thousands OF
sheep are being shipped in from Mon
tana and Wyoming and being turned
into the corn fields to harvest the crop
and incidentally fatten themselves for
market The plan works very satisfac-
torily unless there is too much rain:
then there is some waste. The sheep
is a dainty feeder and rarely wastes
its food, as does the hog. This plan
has many advantages-its aYes the cost
of harvesting the crop. It fertilizes the
field and it gets all the weeds cleaned
up IL the sheep are turaed in early
enough. :

A man never makes any money out
of machine unless it is working.
Now, the cow is Il machine pure and
simple. and if she is not kept at work
there is no profit In keeping her, and
to get something out of her there must
be something put into her, and the man
who thinks he can make money by
scrimping the feed of his cows Is very
shortsighted. The COW should be fed
up to the limit of her ability TO assim-
Hate food If she is to be made profit
able.

We do not think that the territory OF
the eastern states and of the central
west has any use for alfalfa save as
hog pasture. The crop will not work in
any course of rotation, aud the heavy
rains of June and July often make &c
almost impossible to cure and save the
first two cuttings of the crop, but ii
has use and most important one IN
connection with the hog, and no farm
should be without five acres of alfalfa
for It's sole value as a hog pasture.

Reports Of hog cholera are beginning
to come In from different sections. and
so we may begin to look out for all
sorts of fake cures for this disease. 1t
is just as well to remember that In
spite of all the claims made that this
plague can be cured there is no discov-
cred cure for 1t. The prompt disposal
of all well animals, the isolation and
starvation of the sick ones and COM
plete change of location seem to be the
only course to pursue when an out
break occurs. The overlooking with
new corn seems to always invite the
disease. and it is probably true that if
all hogs were fed better balanced ra-
ton the disease would largely disap-
pear.

We are asked what the post timber

ton of no little Importance, in view of
the rapid destruction of all our forests
and the almost entire absence of any
well directed effort to replace them.
There is more than possibility that
the fence post of the future will be
made of cement. Cement posts are
already being made and used with sue
cess. The future is quite likely to see
machines costing but little which viii
enable every farmer TO make his own
fence posts and secure posts which
will be practically indestructible. When

no need to worry over the falling sup.
ply of oak and cedar posts, which are
now worth 15 cents each.
