Farm Boys Ambitious.

Many farmers have sons who wish to
engage in manufacturing industry. =
First of all let them be equipped with a
good English education as q foundation,
and upon this foundation technical
skill and scientific knowledge should be
grated. Even il the sons desire to
follow the vocation of their father and
be tillers of the soil, they should pre-
pare themselves for their calling by at
tending some good agricultural college
where the secrets of nature are inyes-
tigated and where those laws that lead
to success are taught by precept and
Illustrated by example. 1t is a rare
thing now for ignorant farmers to sue
coed. Long practice in certain lines, it
Is true, may give them valuable exper-
fence, but in the march of the new
agriculture old practices are more and
more discarded, and new methods of
fertilization, rotation and cultivation
are adopted. The time was when the
yield of one bale of cotton to the acre
was considered a maximum product,
but intensive farming has shown that
three bales to the aero is a possibility.
All boys who expect to farm should
gather up the new ideas that have been
evolved by the experimentation at the
agricultural college. How to fertilize
land for special crops, how to inoculate
the soil with nitrogen-yielding bacteria,
how to take care of the various crops,
how to manage the dairy SO as to Sc
cure the most profitable results, how to
ICED stock so as to get the largest pro-
fit from the food fed, what soils are
best adapted TO each crop-ail these
are matters that should be taught in
agricultural colleges and are taught.
But the technique of the farm must be
learned. How to do things is more inn
portant than to know the results of
certain methods. A young man may
be richly endowed with all theoretical
kwnoledge, yet if he does not know how
TO use it practically it is of but little use
TO him. Teaching one how to do things
is what technology means, whether it is
applied to the foundry, the workshop,
the cotton mill or to agriculture. "The
systematic studyo of tools, processes and
material is the essential feature of
manual training" Manual training
should precede technical education. 1t
prepares the student for higher and
more scientific works, it develops skill
and the ready adjustment of materials
for specific purposes, but it is not
technical training, The latter applies
science to art, it joins theory to prac-
tice, it regulates causes to the effects
sought to be produced. Col. j. b. Kill

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.

While Mrs. Noah was sorting out the

forced the things out, and so she put

Ing loudly for assistance. But no one
seemed to hear her, as the animals
were making such n noise. In her po-
sition she leaned back so that the
backs OF her arms were pressed up
against the cold sides of the vessel;
hence the backs of women's arms are
always cold. The water was coming
in fast, and she began to fear for the
safety of the ark, so she jumped up
and, grabbing Nip, put his nose into
the hole and babe him stay there until
she went to the fore hatch and shout.

her and came down into the hold with

stopped the leak. The water outside

and hence eli healthy dogs have q cold

Answer to DR.. Mason's Inquiry.

Col. j. G. %Stribbling, Pendleton, S. c..
Dear Col: DR., r.. Il. Mason wishes to
know something of the hybrid peas that
do not shed their leaves. He or any
n can have just such & pea on their
own farm If they will follow simple di-
rections to wit: Take equal parts of the
little iron, the hardest pea known, and
the old-fashioned speckle or shinney,
mix, and plant in a patch to themselves
can be planted any time from April l
to July 10. Save seed from this patch
and plant again. In three or four years
you will have the hybrid. In that time
the shinney will be as hard as the little
iron, and the little iron, | can assure
you will not be any softer than when
you first begun the experiment.
When the hybrid has been formed,
the vines will be more luxuriant than
the plants, and will grow and thrive on
Gland too poor to sprout COW peas"
but of course they will grow better on
land that will sprout cow peas.
The hybrid will not blight and is not
later than the shinney. For hay it is
ahead of any pea known, but for early
pastures there are other better peas.
Getting a hybrid pea is easy enough.
Nothing on the farm will cross easier,
except melons. Getting q perfect by
brid cotton is a veXing and laborious
undertaking. However, l think such a
thing possible. Plant breeding is one
of the great questions of the day and in
it is wonderful possibilities.

DESCRIPTION OF A
CHINESE FUNERAL
By Rev. S. c. Todd, hiacao, China.

contracted either for burial or marriage
expenses.
Near us is Il large house, with a spa
cious flower garden at the back, owned
by a Chinese lottery. This gambling
institution sells chances on the success
full candidates at the literary examina-
lions. The house is rented from time
to time to rich Chinese for either we'd

the funeral of one of the wives of a
wealthy Chinese gentleman was held
from there. Being within a stones
throw of us we had opportunity to see
the affair at its best.
Our attention was called first to it by
the continual beating of gongs. Sleep

tinual noise; the deep-toned sounds

day servants frequently passed bearing
paper figures in many shapes, such as
the stork, devils, women-servants, etc.
The gathering crowds on the morning
of the funeral told of the Importance of
the day. The small boy with unkempt
hair and wardrobe not too elaborate
was much in evidence. He is q prime
factor in funeral professions, for it is
he who carries the lanterns, the ban
ners and other paraphernalia. Women
bearing varied and sundry ornaments
were on every hand; here and there
were Buddhist priests with their closely
shaven heads and flowing robes; while
the street was lined with open stands
made of King Fisher Bird Feathers, an
Indispensable adjunct in 4 funeral pro-
ceSsion.
No doubt the family heart beat with
pride over such an important day, for
did not all this stir set forth in vivid
picture their wealth and Importance!

Who is to Blame for Ii?

If farmers do not come together in
the farmers organizations and try to
protect their own interest, in their own
way, then it is clear that all that class
of farmers that refuse to organize is
the real obstacles in the way Of build
ing up a strong combination of farm
ers with sufficient strength TO down
any and all combination against our
common interests as farmers.
If you have joined in with the Farm
ers' Union and done your best to up
hold our common interest in obtaining
profitable prices for u products, then
you will feel good over this matter
whether you have all we wish to do or
not, for there is great comfort in know
ing that you have done your duty.
DR.. Mason, of Charlotte, seeks in
formation through our Farmers Union
Bureau, and he gets what he wants,
which is encouraging in u work.
These letters of DIR. Mason and Mr..
Brabham are right along in the pro
gressive path that leads to a system of
diversification of crops and the i'm
provements of u lands that we must
practice in order to fortify our posi-
tions as farmers to protect our inter
est, which rests largely in profitable
prices for u cotton:
Mr.. j.. c. Stribbling, Pcndlcton, S. c..
Dear Sir: In ''rhe State" some time
ago | noticed where some one had or
iginated a variety of cow pea so that
it had the desirable quality of giving a
large yield of peas, at The same time
did not shed its leaves. Will you be
kind enough to ask if he will not pub
fish in your Farmers Union Bureau
how he developed this pea, so that 9th
ers may do likewise. The reason ! ask
this is because the writer of the article
stated at the time that he had no seed
for sale.
Very truly,

This is pleasant ~reading-an extract
from a letter received:
/ have read the newspaper clipping
which you inclosed, with much interest
and agree with you most heartily that
we have got to teach IL farmers the
importance of raising their supplies and
improving their soil without going to
such a heavy expense in buying fertil-
izers.
AS you know, | have been working
very hard along the same line you are
in, trying to organize the farmers and
to get concert of action on their part,
to try to get a fair price for any pro-
duct which they may have for sale. SO
far as I can see, | don't think it makes
sc much difference whether this is ac-
complished by the Farmers Union or
Southern Cotton Association, what we
are trying to DO, is to improve the CON
dition of our country, and 1 bid Gods
speed to any organization that is cotton
out on a high plane with this in view.
&c ever i a serve you in any way in
the future, please do not hesitate to
call upon me and | will do so with pleas
ure.
