Another Object Lesson.

Mr.. T. F. Wade, who cultivates
a farm near Tide, about fifteen miles
from WINFIELD, dropped into The
Sentinel Office yesterday morning and
his visit was highly appreciated. He
cultivated a diversified crop, this
year, devoting a portion Of his land
to home necessities and products for
the market. He made from | "a
acres of ground 425 1-2 gallons of
syrup which he is selling for 65 cents
a gallon in cans. He gathered 800
bushels of sweet potatoes per acre,
and a sample of his crop weighed
four pounds. He has sold $74.25
worth of vegetables from one
quarter of an acre of ground. His
best cabbage weighed 8 IA pounds.
These are only a few of the fruits
of his toll, and the land he cultivItes
is hill land and the soil a red, sandy
loan. He slightly fortified with
commercial fertilizers.
This fully demonstrates, what has
often been asserted, that the farmer
can raise most of his necessities at
home and live independently Of the
smoke houses and grain fields of the
West. The Southern cotton planters,
with such examples, can snap their
fingers at those classes who have
Toasted and fattened of of the
products of their honest toll. Where

God OF our fathers. known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart.
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire.
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
IT, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee In

Such boasting as the gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeklng tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And. guarding, calls not thee to

For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on thy people. Lord!

IN THE HOUSEHOLD
HINTS ON MANY SUBJECTS OF
INTEREST.
How Prunes Provide Their Own
sweetenins--Efiective Way to Hang
PIctures-scda and Water
Good for Kitchen Floor.

Need No Suqar.--How many house
wives know that prunes require sabso
lutely no sweetening; that If they are
cooked slowly for "hours and hours
there is sugar from them that nature
provides as sweetening In othei
words they sweeten themselves and
if cooked long enough are covered
with a rich syrup, without one gram
of sugar being added to them. Inc
flavor is also improved by this method
of cooking them by the "oftentlmes
despised prune sauce becomes an en-
ioyable addition to the table.
Picture Haneing.-Too little atten-
ton is generally given to the hanging
of pictures. They should be hnnS az
nearly vertical fiat against the wall
as possible, and not tipped forward
at various angles with the wall lhe
best effect is given by using two hooks,
so that two vertical lines of wire ap-
near instead of the triangular piece
resulting when but one hook is used.
The effect is more restful in a room
where the pictures are hung verti-
cally.
Kitchen Floor Cleaner.--So many
people find it hard to keep their
kitchen floors In good condition that
method may help them4 Wash with
soda and water After sprinkling
about a heaping .teaspoonful OF soda
on any grease spots, pour boiling wa
ter over 1t, then take mop and wipe
up the whole floor. This IS far more
satisfactory than scrubbingA for it Will
take out grease spots without the use
of elbow grease" This VIII also,
keep the floor snowy white as well as
clean.
Don't Use s6ap.-Never use soap
when cleaning oilcloth. 1t fades the
colors, and the paint will soon wear
on Ammonia should also be avoided,
because it gives a dull appearance.
Take clean flannel cloth and apply
warm water. The oilcloth should then
be wiped off with dry cloth. Skim
milk is excellent to use and will give
the oilcloth a gloss. If brush is
used it should be a soft one but 1t Is
better not to use any.
Care of Rubber Shoes.-To make
rubber shoes wear longer, from the
tops OF old rubber shoes cut pieces the
shape of a, heel. Smear these pieces
on the lining side with thick mucilage,
or any sticky substance, and place in
the heels of rubbers, pressing down
firmly. These protectors prevent the
rubber from receiving the direct pres.
sure of the boot heels, and can be
renewed when they show the least
signs Of wear. s'
Cleaning Furniture. = Furniture
needs cleaning as much as other
woodwork. 1t may be washed with
warm soapsuds, quickly wiped dry
and then rubbed with an oily cloth.
A good polish is made by mixing three
parts OF linseed oil and one part OF
spirits of turpentine. Apply with a
woolen cloth. and when dry rub we'll
with a dry woolen cloth. This is
especially good polish for scratched
or marred furniture. and will restore
