Value of Sediments,

Irrigating sediments may be bene-
fetal or harmful to crops, according to
their composition and physical charac-
ter and their disposition in or upon the
SOIL Whether beneficial or harmful in
composition, if they accumulate upon
the surface Of the soil in the form of
silt blankets more or less imperviouS
to water and air, their influence, by
limiting the supply of these essential
substances to plant roots, is notably
harmful. In certain localities where
these irrigating sediments are very
plastic in character and excessive in
amount the damage particularly to al
falfa and other crops which cannot re-
ceive constant and thorough cultiva-
ton, is of an increasingly serious char
acter.
Cultivation, where practicable, as
deep and thorough as possible, is the
best available means of handling these
Accommodations. Beneficial sediments
are thus incorporated with the soil and

or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. !" The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify

can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The

Early Pottery.

One of the principal territories of the
potters for centuries was Kingte Chin,
the finest pieces being made during the
Ming dynasty. 1t is stated that the
fine specimens were made with so
much care that out of 200 pieces they
would sometimes destroy 100. 1t is re-
corded in 1915 that titled man in
Japan had one Of his attendants of
rank whipped for breaking cup and
then sent 10 China at his own expense
to buy another.

This might have been the end of the

her cat and all else that was hers.

she was revenging herself upon the

1t was she who had inculcated these

American Cows for China
and Japan.

If American farmers will raise
purebred stock of all kinds, they
could soon supply the world with
pedigree stock. The Pacific Far
rner, Portland, Oregon, says:
Among the valuable cargoes that
go to the Orient this week from
Portland is one that is of partic-
ular interest TO the stock raisers
of the Northwest. 1t is a herd
of 40 milch COWS, bound for Hong
Kong. The American cow is be-
ginning to be known and appre-
ciated in the Orient, and from
appearances there will be heavy
demand for her in the near fu-
ture. One Of the capitalists of
Japan has written Secretary
Welch, of the State Board OF
A Agriculture that he is coming
soon to take home herd of pure
bred mixers from Oregon. The
same boat that carries the 40
head took IL head on the trip
last month.-Live Stock Journ-

1t Was His Dog.

An automobile dashed along
the country road. Turning a
curve, it came suddenly upon a
man with gun on his shoulder
and weak sick-looking old dog
beside him. The dog was directly
in the path of the motor-car. The
chauffeur sounded his horn, but
the dog did not move-until he
was struck. After that he did
not move.
The automobile stopped and

forward. He had once paid a
farmer ten dollars for killing a
calf that belonged to another
farmer. This time he was wary.

of peas, the question of how best
to get the most land in peavine
hay, with the least expense, is
one which now interests the far
mers, more than at any previous
season in the history OF peavlne
hay making.
By adopting the plan which
will outline, the seed peas will
be as cheap at four dollars per
bushel as they were in previous
years at one dollar.
One of the best farmers in the
county, near my place, USED the
following plan a year or so ago,
and was highly pleased with re
suits, making the finest crop OF
hay he ever raised, and used only
one peck of peas per acre. he
ran off his lands, just as if oats
were TO be sown, and In every
fourth turrow, he step-dropped
peas, and by not plowing across
ends of the lands, they were
practically in rows. After the
peas were up, he ran in between
them one time with a cotton plow
with nothing on but the point
and sweep. This gave the peas a
start ahead of the grass, and
when ready 10 cut, it was waist
high, the finest crab-grass and
peavine hay ever seen to grow
in that neighborhood.
Owing to the scarcity of peas,
this is the plan we will adopt on
Oak Glen Farm this year, using
Cole planter behind the fourth
plow, and cultivating one time,
and we expect better results than
the old way of sowing broadcast.
fthis plan is universally success
full, and l have no doubt but that
it will be, the loss of last years
crop of peas willprove blessing
in disguise to the farmers, show
ing them that while making two
blades of grass grow where one
grew before, they can also make
one pea answer where four were
used before. This is a valuable
lesson in farm economy, which
is as essential to agricultural
success as abundant crops, and
even more so, as it is not what
we make, but what we save,
that counts for so much in max
ing the farmer comfortable and
independent.
Instead Of using, then, all the
peas we have, and in many cases
buying more in order to have an
abundant hay crop, we can save
three bushels in every four, to
feed to the old COW which the
March winds failed TO blow away,
and be richly rewarded with an
extra flow of milk, and decided
improvement in looks and weight
of "Bossie." Just 80. the farmers
are learning to chink many little
leaks around the farm, which
have been unheeded heretofore,
and which will swell the credit

Home economy, an interestingly
and important instance was re-
Gently cited by the Atlanta
Georgian. A correspondent whom
this newspaper regards as un-
questioned authority in matters
of this eort wrote the Georgian
as follows:
There is matter which the
Farmers Union and the news
papers have overlooked, and a
very important one. South Geor
gia, South Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas buy
fully rs per cent of their flour in
barrels and half barrels. In bar
rels the cost is Is cents over the
price in sacks, and the additional
cost for half.barrels is Is cents.
They should be urged to purch ase
all their flour in cotton sacks,
which would mean larger con
sumption of the COTTON crop.
What the Georgian said edi-
torially by way of comment on
it's correspondence suggestion
is so we'll worth considering
that it is given to the Progressive
Farmer readers in full:
This looks like flow at the
bung, rather than leak at the
spigot.
Hundreds of thousands of bar
rels Of -four are purchased in
wood every year in these and
other Southern States, the con-
sumer never stopping to realize
that he is paving from Is to
25 cents more for it in this
shape, and at the same time
helping to curtail one of the chief
cotton consumption agencies.
The cost Of barrels, as with all
classes of wooden products, is
constantly increasing, and the
difference in the price of flour in
wood and cloth will continue 10
go up.
1t seems folly, under these con-
ditions, for the people of the
South, the farmers more particu,
larly, to buy their -four In bar
rels, when by purchasing it in
cloth they may not only save
money, but create additional
demand for the South's most
product, every in
crease in which plays its i'm
portant part in boosting the
price.
Farmers are demanding the
use of cotton instead of jute bag
ging around the staple itself, for
the very reason here given for
the purchase of flour in cotton
sacks. Here is lesson in home
economies which it would be
well for the Farmers Union to
spread among it's extensive men,
bership and others in reach OF
them. 1t is apparent that it
cannot fail TO be fruitful of i'm.
portant and valuable results. =

in the championship golf tournament
was played all day yesterday at the

count were all made under 200, and
the next two best scores were made by
Sam Wilder and little Francis Brown,
who is not much bigger than an ordin-
airy driver. Each made POS If Brown
keeps up his present playing he will
make a good many of the men hustle
to win in the future tournaments.
A large number of wives, sweet
hearts and sisters were present during
the day at the Club and seemed to en-
joy it as much as the men who were
playing Austin White, who has been
playing so well this year, made the
best score of the day, making 40 for
&c holes. His playing was very steady
all the way through, his driving and
approaching being very good. the
second best score was made by DR..
High with total of 176. The third
Lest score was made by E. o. White,
father of Austin White, who played a
very steady game all the way through.

the scores will be much lower than the

Although there were many people at
the ball games at the league grounds
yesterday a good sized crowd were
present at Aala Park to see the two
games in the Riverside League. The
Chinese Athletic Club and the Pala-
mas won their respective games with
out very much trouble. In the first
game the Chinese team played with
the Sons of nippon and proved beyond
doubt that they knew more about
the National game than the little men
from the land of the Rising Sun.
The second game the Palamas and
the Kaala A. c. fought it out nip and
tuck but the Palamas by better team
work and heavy hitting when it was
most needed won the game by the
close score of 4 to 3. Espinda, the
twirler for the Kaalas, did not come up
to expectations, and the Palamas
found it very easy to get a hit when
ever It was needed. The score and
