Their welfare and progress, therefore,
are Of the utmost Importance to the

There are $1,000 negro carpenters,
10000 BARRIERS, nearly as many doc

Seventy-seven per cent of the me-

farms on which they work, 81 per cent
are owned wholly By the negroes, and
four per cent are partly owned by
them.
Schools for colored people are in
creasing in numbers and efficiency.
Since 1890 negro illiteracy has fallen

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Greed prevents real gain.

Greed prevents real gain.
There is no saving anger without
love.
Airing our aches will never heal
them.
No one ever regretted burying
slander.
If you want to be happy make
some one less sad.
This world is enriched by the good
more than by the clever.
If the voice of conscience disturbs
you, silence it by obeying it.
The light of love shows the true
self as the light of learning can not
Little deeds tell more than the
largest, plainest bumps of character.
Plenty of people who talk of hon
esty as good policy fail to pay the
premiums.
You go forward to no prize without
leaving behind many things that seem
desirable.
You are not likely to lead men to
faith in God by preaching crooked
facts about men.
1t is faith mixed with facts and not
with fancies that holds the convic-
tion in a sermon.
Some folks think they are generous
because they are willing to give up
their good Intentions.

Color of Frnit.

It matters little about the color OF
fruit used in home consumption, but
market fruits must have good color,
as the eye is caught by it and this
leads to a more ready sale. Clear
air and sunshine are the first requi-
sites for producing color, and for this
reason the Connecticut hills are par
tlcularly adaptable to the needs of
the fruit raiser. Trees should be
open headed, we'll cultivated in the
early season and not at all later.
Proper fertilization is also an i'm
ortant factor.

Value of Clover Hay.

All in all, we consider red clover
hay much superior to timothy, says
Farmers Call. We do not know
what the chemical analysis shows
We know what the COW, calf, steer,
sheep and horse have uniformly tes-
tilted. 1t is easier to spoil clover hay
iG. the making than it is timothy hay.
That is to be considered. 1t is i'm
pOrtant TO cut the clover before it
gets too ripe. And timothy is not
near so much damaged in the swath
or windrow by rain as is clover. But
in these days of wide-cut mowers, and
hay leaders and rickers and forks,
one can handle the clover with little
danger of damage. OF course if it
is very heavy one should use a tedder.
1t seems that the Illinois Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has been
making tests to determine the rela-
tive value of timothy and clover, and
these results are reported: Twenty
horses were put on feed. They cost
$1S5 each, on the average, at the
outset, and sold at S2SS.37, a profit
that looks decidedly attractive. In
this experiment, horses fed on corn,
oats and clover hay gained PIT
pounds each in ninety-two days. At
twenty cents this would mean $55.40,
and at the beginning of the expert
ment responsible horse dealer
offered the experiment station au-
thorities that price for all the gain
made. In the case of the lot fed on
the same ration, but with timothy
substituted for clover, the gain was
but 142 pounds, and the timothy ra-
tion cost more than clover.

to his idea of well balanced ration,
although It is rated as containing
one per cent. more fat than the
former. This is easily overcome by
the greater bulk per pound by reason
of the bran. Either formula would
be benefited by the addition of one
per cent. cut clover.
