Mr.. Editor: Christmas is over
in several respects. The small
boy has ceased to "make fuss"
with his fire crackers, tor
pedoes and "sticks". The busi-
ness world has about settleddown
to work again. The school boy
and girl, the college man and
woman are looking with dread
to next week, when they must
take up their books and "set'le
down" to a few more months o!
work. Bat one OF the most i'm
pOrtant parts Of Xmas fingers,

stIll"dee-!ighted with her dolls,
her tea set, her doll furniture,
ETC., and so on. The writer was
at home in the Getty Of The Red
Rose " There it was quiet but
merry Christmas.

part Of The winter which has
passed. True it is that Baseball
has taken a "back seat" till the
Spring, ana the University didn't
have a"teet ball' team this year,
but we have had other things to
draw our attention to pleasure

the Columbia College, the Col
lege for Women and the Univer.
sity of South Carolina opened
their doors in September and
brought several hundred young
and women into our city from
all portions of the State, and by
the way Lancaster is we'll repre-
sented at all of these institutions.
Then the Fair came. ''Nuff sed."
AS soon as We were about rested
up from its effects the Unwilling

BIackberries and RaSpberries.

Considering the neglect given black
berry and raspberry canes in late sum
mer, they pay well in comparison with
other crops. II fruit growers will cul
tivate the canes, clean the ground well
of weeds and grass as soon as the Der
ry harvest is over, and apply fertilizer
OH the land, the effect of the good treat
ment will be apparent the followins
year Weeds and grass rob the canes
and when it is considered that with
the canes producing crops for several
years in succession, and weeds and
grass taking possession between the
rows, the land becomes exhausted, the
crops fall off and the canes die out.

GOD REMAINS UNCHANGED.
Rv Rabbi Tobias Schanfarh

Religion is growth, it is a develop
ment. Our conceptions of religion have
changed. Our conceptions Of God have
changed, but God himself is unchange-
able The fact that men substituted the
Copernican for the Ptolemaic system of
astronomy did not put out one single
star; they continued to shine with all
their old-tlme luster. And so, though
our religious conceptions change with
the onward march of time, the eternal
yerities of religion, the underlying prin-
ciples, remain fixed, as firmly estab-
lished as the eternal pillars of the uni
verse
And yet there are many who are
prophesying the downfall Of religion
and the death of a once living falth'

Feeding Stock.

Giving the cows coarse food, in order
to dispose of such foods, will not add
to the quality Of the milk, nor the
quantity, but it puts the COWS to service
in converting such materials into ma
nure. A good farmer, however, can
not afford to keep a COW simply to
make manure. The manure should be
considered only as by-product. To
make an animal profitable, not only
should the coarse and bulky materials
be used, but they should be REINFORCED
by the best feeding stuffs that can be
produced so as not only to increase
the yield, but also render the manure
more valuable.

The Farm Garden.

For u farmer to begin gardening
with several kinds of each vegetable is
to fail with some, as farmers do not,
as a rule, give attention to gardening.
About one-half of the varieties in many
of the seed catalogues could be elimi-
mated with advantage. If the garden
is to be speciality next year, NOW off
the grass and weeds, burn the ground
over to destroy the weed seeds and
plow the land whenever favorable for
so doing. applying manure literally
and then narrowing it in. Next spring
pillow the garden again and use only
few varieties Of each vegetable, select

10 the rich He would saw: "HoId

same: There stands your brother.
