KNOWLEDGE is POWER.
The Power to Get the Most Out Of a
Farm With Least Energy.

The farmer may not crave political
or social power, but II he is a man
of ordinary ambitions he Graves the
power to succeed in his business. 1t
takes power to succeed at farming.
1t used to be said that when a boy
wasn't good for anything else that
he'd make a farmer "It takes brains
to be merchant, loctor. or preacher.
but farmer-why anybody can farm!"
But times have changed. and farming
successfully On high priced land is no
snap. The brains necessary to well
manage a farm would make for sue
cess anywhere after sufficient expert
ence were gained to know the
rope
But 1t Is astonishing that so many
farmers are content to go along in
such reckless and Improbable way.
They never have a definite knowledge
Oh their business operations. They
know not whether 1t Is the cows or
pigs that are carrying the mortgage,
whether it is the sheep or the chick
ems or the corntield that Is failing to
pay expenses. They iced timothy hay
because they have 1t, and they have
1t because it Is easier to cure than
clover, and know not that there is a
better feed than timothy and better
crop for the soil.
The shackles of ignorance Is hold
ing many man down. knowledge
Is the power that can set free. 1t
isn't enough to know how to hold
plow straight. He must know why
he plows, when best to plow, how
best to do for a particular crop or
season. 1t is not enough that he know
how to milk cow. He must know
how to feed her so she viii do her
best, and he must know how to breed
her so she will perpetuate a better
race than her own, he must know
whether she is worth keeping at AL or
not.
II isn't enough to know how many
pecks to sow of grain, but how to
combat the fungous and insect pests
that lessen the yield. He must know
what one of great many varieties
Of these grains is best adapted to his
farm.
knowledge is power-the power tc
get the most out of farm with the
least expenditure of vital energy, the
least waste, and the greatest net pro-
fits per cre.-Successful Farming.

Country Manual Training.

Even manual training needs new
direction as 1t touches country life. II
may not be necessary to eliminate The
formal exercises of model work and
weaving and the like; but some of the
practical problems of the home an1
farm may be added.
How to make a garden, to lay out
paths, make fences and labels, are
manual training problems. How to
saw board off straight. to drive a
nail, to whittle peg, to make tooth
for hand hay. rake, to repair a hoe,
to sharpen saw, to paint fence, to
hang gate, to adjust a plow point,
to mend strap, to prune an apple
tree, to harness horse--the problems
are bewildering from their very num-
ber.
Manual training can be so taught in
the schools that are equipped for 1t as,
in 10 years, to start revolution in the
agriculture of any commonwealth

FARMER AND
PLANTER
TO INDUCE FALL LAYING.
Feed a varicty-Not Too Much Ct Any
One Kind.

A little care and additional atten-
tion and work with the hens on the
place at this season will be we'll re-
paid. This is the beginning Of the
moulting, or shedding season, and a
good many of the hens are not laying,
and will not lay for some two or three
months under the usual course of neg
lect Snd Indifference on the part of
their owners. And yet, 1t Is posi-
BILE to get goodly number of fall eggs,
II We will go at 1t right.
To induce fall laying, the hens
should have variety OF foods--not
al great deal of any one kind, but, a
little of several kinds. For this pur-
pose, all the waste of the kitchen and
the dining-room should be saved and
given to them. The best plan is to
have a good sized pot handy, and
throw all scraps into it. Let 1t sit at
the back of the kitchen stove; and
at the close of either the breakfast,
or midday meal, put some oats, or
wheat in it too, with water, and soak
all together. 1t will not take long to
do It, and then when cooled off some,
call up the hens and give it to them.
II will start them to singing and run.
ming about in happy way, and soon
Also start them to the nest and
keep some of them laying all through
the autumn and fall.
In addition to the eggs this system
will bring, it will also keep the hens
healthy and vigorous and enable
them to shed and reclothe themselves
in near feathers earlier than other
wise.

For cotton select Prolific Stalks.

In selecting cotton seed we should.
in North Carolina, have especial re-
gard to earliness. An extra large boil
is usually an Indication of late ma.
turing cotton, and is apt to be long.
jointed. We need In this climate a
bushy, short -jointed cotton Of pro.
life character, and we should have
marked the plants that come nearest
to our ideal cotton plant before any
picking has been done, always select
ing from plants of the best habit and
those that open earliest, selecting only
the first picking for seed. The later
pickings may make just as good and
prolific plants, but the chances are
that in the matter of earliness ths
seed from the first picking will be
best.
Do not take this cotton to the gin,
but have little hand gin at home to
prevent getting the seed mixed with
every one else's cotton. Then next

SCSu H1lu IllC 0CiCClfOu. N1dhG
a careful selection the first time even
il you only get seed enough to plant
the seed patch. Every season you will
get closer to the ideal cotton plant,
and every season your neighbors will
be taking more and more interest In
your cotton. Cotton is plant that
| responds to careful seed selection very
quickly, and on the other hand runs
back very quickly when carelessly Sc
lected. The King Cotton for a year
or so was a very uniform cotton, but
of late it is hard to find q field of
King Cotton that IS at all of the orig
ina1 strain.
The time to begin the improvement
OF ones corn or cotton Is in the
spring, and then study the crop all
through the season, detassel all In.
ferior and barren stalks Of corn. and
thin out the long-legged cotton be-
| fore it has chance to distribute its
pollen through the agency of the bees.

RY USE or KALEIDOSCOPE.
How Many Floor Covering Patterns
Are Obtained.

do you know" says st. Louis
carpet dealer, that some OF the mos.
exquisite patterns In carpets, oil
cloths and other floor coverings are
obtained by the aid of the kaleido-
scope?"
1T used to be considered merely a
toy to amuse children, and they gem
orally tired of it in a few hours, then
broke it open to find out what was In
side of it. 1t is not often seen now
on the toy counters, but very expen-
siye kaleidoscopes are made for the
use of artists who design geometrical
patterns. The kaleidoscope is fixed
in a frame which holds it perfectly
still, and Photographic apparatus is
attached by which to reproduce any
desired figure. The artist turns the
kaleidoscope until combination ap.

Decorating with Flowers.

When decorations are very exten.
sive, the brac-a-brac is sometimes en-,
tirely removed. 1t depends largely
upon the character of the bric-a-brac
whether this is necessary. Surely
enough must be removed to prevent
an impression of crowding when the
flowers are added. Very frequently
however, some of the bric-a-brac can
be used with the floral decorations tc
obtain an artistic effect. Pieces oi
brass and copper are very effective
used against green foliage and in
Frightening UP dark corners. Brass
candlesticks with burning candles are
a wonderful addition. Candle light is
the most artistic light possible, and
will enhance all the beauties of the
decorations. Masses of holly with its
brilliant red berries, red candles in
brass candlesticks, and the only light
that of the candles, and of an open
wood fire, and we have never-to-be-
forgotten background for Christmas
mysteries and festivities .--Harper's

Take Your Ewes to the cornfield.

This Is the time to selet the seed
corn in the field, provided it has not
already been attended to. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that varieties bear
ing two or more ears to the stalk
will yield more corn per acre than
varieties bearing only one ear to the
stalk. At the Edgecombe Test Farm
last year there was difference at the
rate of about twenty-nine bushels per
acre in the yield of different varieties
of corn, and the yield at the other
Test Farm of different varieties bore
about the same ratio to each other.
These facts should impress us with
the Importance of seed selection
In field selection, we advise taking
for an ideal a strong, vigorous, SYM
matrical stalk, not too high, bearing
two or more good well-shaped ears,
some four or five feet from the ground,
and that have medium shanks SO as
to permit the ears to turn down and
sheo the rain. We do not advise Sc
lecting ears that stand upright so as
to permit the rain to run in and cause
the grain to rot, neither do We ad-
wise the long shank SO often seen in
corn. A medium between the two ex-
tremes is best. Use care in selecting,
for if one selects only dozen or two
stalks in day and the stalks so Sc
ing seed plat. it will be time well
spent. Make start on such selection
this month.

Hints About Making Good Hay.

Haymaking claims the attention Of
farmers just now and should be
pushed with all possible vigor. The
high prices that have prevailed should
stimulate hay making.
Crab grass is allowed to 60 to
waste that could be made into q fine
quality Of hay IL cut at the right time
and properly cured. Comparatively
few Of our farmers cut crab grass as
early as 4 should be cut TO make the
best quality OF hay. 1t should not be
allowed to stand until the seed are
ripe. nor should 1t be allowed to lie
In the sun after 1t is cut until 1t is
sun-killed before cooking or stacking.
Cut when the seed are in the milk or
dough state, permitted to take the
sun a day, then cooked and cured in
the cock, it makes hay about equal
to timothy hay

day after day he rose up early and

day after day he rose up early and
stood beside the way of the gate ami
greeted in gracious manner all whc
came thither. And when any man that
had controversy in the town or dis,
trict from which he had come and
sought the king out for judgment, Alb
salon would draw from him his story,
win his confidence, and then exclaim:
See, thy matters are good and
right; but there is no man deputed
of the king to hear thee. Oh, that ]
we're made judge in the land, tha
every man which hath any suit or
cause might come to me, and l would
do him justice!" 'A
And when any man came nigh to
him to do him obeisance, he put forth
his hand and took him and kissed him.
And in this manner did Absalom to all
Israel that came to the king for judg-
ment, and as the years went by the
fame and favor of Absalom spread
throughout all the tribes of Israel, SO
that none was SO popular or SO much
talked of as he.
But disquieting word came to him
one day as he sat In his accustomed
place by the gate. There had been
secret messengers from the king, so II
was intimated. mingling with the peo.
pie who had come to him for succor
and to do him obeisance, and he feared
lest the matter of his plotting should
reach the ears of the king and bring
him into trouble ere he had had time
to strike the final blow. For this
reason he quickly gathered his follow.
ers together and sent them secretly
throughout all the land, saying:
"As soon as ye hear the sound OF
the trumpet, then We shall say Absa
lom reigneth in Hebron"
And when he had sent the last man
away he repaired to the palace and,
being admitted to the presence of the
king, his father, he did obeisance, and
said unto him:
II pray thee, let me go and pay my
vow, which have vowed unto the Lord
in Hebron. For thy servant vowed a
