Waste on the Farm.

Many farmers do not take any pains
to keep their stock warm and clean
nor to make and save manure, so a
large share Of the profit Of the farm is

OUT OF THE CURRENT.

So long as we fear to face new
conditions of thought and to modify
or surrender our untenable beliefs in
obedience to the higher revelations of
the Time-spirit, we shall remain
passive by the way side of life.
Love reaches out for that which is
lovely and of good report; seeks after
that which is pure and uplifting
finds more satisfaction in giving than
in receiving, more blessedness in
serving than in being served.
Much of the present unrest is due
to seeking after reality, with its
abandonment of the unreal; and the
eyes so hope a return to the day
when religion shall be understood to
consist in a genuine life in the realit-
les that are eternal.
All the strength of moral purpose
we develop, ali the purity of heart
and righteousness of soul we obtain,
all hte spiritual capital we accumulate
in this world will be ours to possess
and enjoy in the next and forever.

but ''let your light shine - The liv.
ing epistle is not known and heard Of
all men, but known and read.
Are the ideals of the Spirit posi-
BILE of the achievement? Are they
worth the sacrifice their aattinments

great to make certain our calling an(
election, and become our inheritor Oh

The selfish person prefers his owl

diately resolve that you will here
after plant all the corn, oats, Aavine
hay, peas and sweet potatoes that
you can consume on your farm, with
some to sell, thereby making less
cotton and receiving twice as much
money for it, You will know that if
we will keep the production of cotton
down to the actual and immediate
needs of the spinners, that we will
never receive less than 10 to IL
cents per pound for all the cotton we
. raise. and let us keep them hungry
for our cotton by producing only a
bare sufficiency to satisfy their APP
petites.
Do not De deceived, my friends, in
this matter that is so vitality impor-
tant to us all. Immediately begin
to use your influence in your neigh
borhood to induce every man who
grows cotton to strictly adhere to the
principles of diversified agriculture,
which is the most important step
toward placing our cotton farmers in
a state of continuous prosperity. APP
point yourself as committee of one
to preach the gospel of diversified
ton to your neighbors and brother
farmers, always impressing upon and
pointing out to them the fact that
every prosperous farmer in any COM
munity owes his success to the fact
that he always produces all the feed
and food crops that his livestock and
family can consume on his own farm.
never buying anything that can be
raised at home. This plain common
sense business will bring prosperity
to any farmer who practices it, and
the Southern Cotton Association
through its various State Divisions
promises to use every means at its
command to carry on system Of
education to the end that all cotton
farmers of the South will become
prosperous through diversified agri-
culture.
We will preach diversification,
practice diversification, and consider
any man who does not diversity, an
enemy in our camp Sincerely,
