selling value to land in demand ut an
advance of from 70 70 $50 per cent. over
the nominal prizes Of one or two years
ago, IL the most sfar-reaching develop
uent In southern advancement OF tbs
sast quarter Of century. It is far
reaching In many ways, says the Manu-
1acturers' Record. It means that within
the last year or two southern farm prop
erties have increased not less than
$1,000 900 In value, probably at least
$1,5OO. 900 900. But more than that It
means that under the improved flnan-
cial condition the southern farmer has
gained new courage, new backbone, that
ne has learned how to market his cot
ton crop; that he has fought to finish

ducer or the Spectator is t., control the

the total value of the cotton crop, In

against $2,1so. 100000 for the pre-
ceding six years, Showing 4 gain in the
last six years over the preceding six of
over $1,4oo,0 ,000. 900. It is not, however,
due to this great increase in cotton
alone that the southern farmer is in
better shape. More and more has the
diversiacation Of agriculture gone on;
more and more have fruit growing nni

The waiter placed the chafng dish
carefully on the table and removed the
cover with flourish. It was very

ornamented with crabs and fishes and

girl who prided herself on her ac-
quaintance with the saucepan. Il like
things well cooked" and she stirred
the savory mess with q big spoon and
turned up the flame Of the ornate lamp
The waiter approached with cynical
smile and informally. familiarly. per-
Raps even bit impertinently, he said:
Its thoroughly cooked, miss. Was
cooked before it left the kitchen. That
dish IS just blum. II we served
things half cooked the restaurant
would be boycotted In a week. Every
one thinks he can make things In q
chafing dish and likes to turn the lamp

the dish, but not one in thousand

is very good to keep thing hot and
/ think the .rarebits ought to be served
in them, but It's all q blum rs far as
restaurant cooking is concerned. The
stun that's served in them is not
cooked in q chafing dish either before
or after it reaches the table"
And then the girl, with as much dig

crab-meat and deftly heaped the green
peppers at one side and the mushrooms

Early maturity is just as advan.
tageous to the breeder and feeder Of
sheep as to any other stockman in
the world. 4
Success in beekeeping must be
gained by actual experience. Others
may supply facts, but the results, even
il they agree, must be the work Of
experience. ..ss
Exposure to weather damages ve-

The acreage Of strawberries in the
south is not half what 1t should be.
The little children hold out their tiny
hands for the red fruit, the women
will have them, and the men could have
berries II they would plant aud culti-
vate them.
Young men you will be more pros
porous and better contented on the
farm than in the crowded city, where
poverty, hunger and want are the gen.
eral lot of many people. A home Of
ten acres will produce more reliable
living than a $500 salary in the city.
The average steer in North Caro-
lima sells on the market for $22. In
the western states he sells for $50 or
more. Why this difference? Because
he is a better bred, more efficient meat
maker than is the beef animal OF the
south. Our need then is better live
stock.

The dairyman should recognize that

Swindon BERTHE caught q glimpse OF
q handsome girl standing in the lamp

He leaped back and rushed for the
guard. He saw 1t all. It was Eva,
who had got out at the first stoppine

BERTHE. hurriedly, but firmly.
The guard sala he was sorry, but
Il tell you this train must be stopped

The guard acknowledged the com-

""Good evening, SIR" he said. genial

"Lend me uniform" said BERTHE.
This was done without difficulty.
