said Lady Campstown, nervously anxious
to end the scene at any cost. A fuller
view of Mrs. Darien's face had showed
her the awful extent to which time and
an evil life had ravaged it. She would
not look at her second time. but, shud-
dering. walked away to the window and
set it wide open, standing with her back
to the offender, in speeches. disgust and
misery.
To be one minute unobserved was
enough for Ruby Darien. She had been
standing near a little cabinet, on a shelf
of which was accustomed to lie Lady
Campstown's own especial pass key
through the little green door into the
garden of Refine des Fees. Since the oc-
cupation of the place by tenants this had
not been used. But things were not wont
to change their position often at Villa
Julia, and the key still lay in it's old
corner undisturbed. Ruby's nimble fin
gers closed upon and transferred it to
the interior of her little gilded bag, while
Lady Campstown. resolved not to speak
to her visitor again, kept her position at
the window.

laughing softly. In view of your in
hospitable attitude have really no ex-

Oatmeal, boiled and made into
cruel and added to the sweet skim
med milk is one of the best foods
for calves. Add little faxseed
jelly and your calves will grow like
weeds.
The draft horse has been in de-
mand in our market for many years,
and will continue to bring goo1

in price. The amateur horseman

According to California prefes
sor,. fowls can be fattened rapidly
through the agency of electric light.
Every three hours during the night
the light is turned on, causing the
misguided fowls to come off their
perches and eat hearty breakfast.
This seems to be forcing matters a
little too strong.
Thorough drainage is something
that all frst-class gardeners and nur-
serymen put high value upon. The
crops they grow are often more than
the first cost of the land itself.
Hence, it is not uncommon to make
drains on lands leased for five or
six years, as the loss from excessive
water is greater than the cost Of
draining it off.-Soutbern Tobac-
conist.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-18
HELP YOURSELF.

Don't quarrel with others abol
not helping the farmer when you are
not trying to help yourself.
Some farmers do lot of bowling
and no work because they are to-
poor-they think-to do anything
else but howl the calamity howl. .
The man with manhood and plenty
of grit and energy in his makeup,
need never ask others to give him
room; about all this man needs is TO
put his natural talents to work with
a vim and the world will give him
plenty of room.
Why all this talk about organizing
the farmers of today when our dad
dies and granddaddies lived better
than we do without any organiza-
tion among themselves? Because, ou'
daddies and granddaddies produced
almost everything they needed to eat
and wear, upon their own farms ev-
cepting salt, sugar, iron and what
little money, they needed then to pay
taxes which, for these small items,
was not very hard to get out of h'S
surplus cotton and other crops and
stock. And now we fool cotton
growers have, for 10, these many
years, been trying to get rich buying
all these things at the other fellows
prices, and paying for them with OF"
cotton also at the other fellows
prices. We are compelled to organ
ize before we can price our own co..
ton.-Seneca Journal.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-18
THE FARMERS CREED.

More than 60 years ago Henry
Ward Beecher, the great pulpit ora
tor, gave voice to the following
farmers creed which possesses last
ing qualities:
We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
We believe that the soil loves TO
eat, as well as its owner and ought,
therefore, to be literally fed.
We believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they
found it-making the farmer and
the farm both glad at once.
We believe in going to the bottom
of things, and, therefore, in deep
plowing and enough of it.
All the better with subsoil plow.
We believe that every farmer
should own farm.
We believe that the best fertili
zer for any soil is a spirit of indus
try, enterprise and intelligence.
Without this lime, and gympsum bone
and green manure mari and guano
will be Of little use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farmhouses, good stock,
good orchards and children enough
to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen.
neat wife in it, a spinning wheel, a
clean cupboard, a clean conscience.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-18
GETTING SOMETHING FOR
NOTHING.

Getting good, practical farmers to
quit their work to go out and WORK
for the Farmers Union for nothing
is all that is in the way Of spread
ing the Farmers Union Organization
all over our Southland in a very
short while.
This prevailing idea among farm
ers to get something for nothing, or
get cheap men to do cheap work in
stead of getting good men at good
prices to do good work is the big
gest stumbling-block in the way of
the progress Of the farmers organi-
zation. 1t takes big hook and a
big bait to catch big fish and hold
the game-and small fly-hook for
minnows.
You cannot control the price of
cotton unless you can control the
men who hold the cotton.
The cotton grower cannot prosper
while others price all he sells an
buys any more than he could pull
himself out of mire by lifting at the
straps Of his boot legs.-Seneca
Journal.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-18
SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.


It pays to be amiable in the COW
stable.
Never strike a cow. Never speak
roughly to her.
Anything irregular affects the pei
centage Of butter fats.
Pet the COWS; pet the heifers; give
them a little sugar with the salt.
Sugar will help to gentle any cow
that is inclined to be nervous and
wild. Try it.
