Horticultural Statistics.

This is very pretty story, very in- teresting,-this report of the govern ment on the conditions of other peo- ples crops and prognostications Of good yields; but the bureau of the Department of Agriculture which gath CTS and issues the information Is .. large and expensive bureau, and some may ask, what Is the real use of itl How does it help the farmer? Well. we all know about the "pit"-the corn pit" and the wheat pit" in Chicago and elsewhere, where they get cor ners on grain and other commodities and maintain the prices to the detri- ment of both the producer and the consumer. Were 1t not for rellaDls government statistics on crop produc- tion, the manipulations would be 1ar worse than they are, and at certain seasons the big speculators would set together" and practically fix the prices. The official statistics keep them largely in check. If there were no gov ernment statistics, the specuiatofs would simply agree on a policy anu then manufacture crop statistics '" enable them to carry out that poiic' and the farmer and the bread "iAAs' of the country would suffer.

Rural Schools.

After the pilgrim fathers had land ed in 1920, the very first act of the English colonists was to establish high school, but these were for very few people. In 1636 Harvard was founded, and soon after that Yale and Princeton. About 150 or 160 years after that Thomas Jefferson, who was the father of the country school sys- tenn; Washington, the great promoter and Alexander Hamilton, the great teacher, gave time and thought to- thls cause, and made it possible for education to reach the masses of ,ne people Washington said: Lay broad. and deep, then, the foundation of the general diffusion of knowledge" The old method of teaching is pretty near ly eliminated. The education of to- day has come to our homes through the rural schools. Very often the rural school children do not go to- high school or to college; therefore. we must give our rural school child ren every advantage.
 We believe that the country schools are doing a great work, but we must add domestic science and agriculture. Good results will come then through the little school house in the country. and 1t will bring sunshine. prosperity and good citizenship into the future. homes of these children.

Story Of a Rural RevolutIonIst.

The Worlds Work: It is hard to bring home" to the readers of print ed pages the extent and full mean ing of the work that is going on in the United States to build up rural life--to make farming pay; for this is kind of work that a man must see to understand it, to measure it's full value, and to know what it will mean in the near future to the peo- pie. Here, for example, is a little story from life:
 The best small farmer in this neighborhood sent his only son to an agricultural college. When the boy had finished his studies he had plan to go away and to begin life for him. self, but his father was eager to keep him at home. He would stay only if his father would give him complete control of the farm. Since the old man himself was the best farmer in his part of the world, he yielded to the boys wish, with reluctance, but he yielded
 
 did?' he asked, as he told the story. He hitched all three of the mules to one blow. I had never done that, but I pretty soon saw that he was right. Then he spent lot of time and care in selecting seeds. I had never done that so thoroughly, but soon saw that he was right" and so on. item after item.
 The result was that, although the farm had for years made a larger yield than any other in the neighbor- hood, the yield the first year of the young mans management was 30 per cent larger than 1t had ever been be- fore; and the second year 50 per cent larger. Within few years the meth cd of farming in the neighborhood had become so much better that the farmers now receive $50,000 more a year in cash than they received be- fore John took his fathers farm in hand.
 Similar changes are taking place in many parts of the country. The difference is the difference between life of hard struggle and a life Of independence, between good roads and bad, between good schools and bad, between hard lives for women and comfortable and refined lives, the diff ference between stolidity and a glad intellectual existence.

KNEW NONE BY THAT NAME
Massachusetts Postmaster Misunder. stood Inquiry Made by a Pros
 pective Tourist.

A certain well-known New York banker was preparing to take an automobile tour on the north shore of Massachusetts. His objective point being the quaint fishing vil- lage of Gloucester, it occurred to him that it would be wise to find out in advance if that place afforded a garage where his touring car could be sheltered when not in use and re- paired when necessary.
 To that end the banker wrote to the postmaster, courteously asking for the desired information. What was his surprise a few days later when the card he had inclosed in his letter of inquiry came back with this written thereon:
 q find in our city directory thao no one of the name of Garage gets mail at this office. The nearest to it is family of the name of Gam mage, living on the Neck road.

 The banker courteously sent a sec- ond note thanking the postmaster for his information.

J. D. WILDER, DEAD.

With heavy heart we would drop tear to the memory of J. D. Wilder.
 His death, which came Sunday morning about four o'clock, Oct., II, 1908, has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives. His was heart of gold. He was one of nature S nobleman in its truest sense, brave, generous, manly. His was the soul of honor, and his friends and friendships were sacred to him. J. D. Wilder the subject of this memorial, was born in Alabama and at the time of his death, was in his thirtyeighth year.
 It is sad at any time to stand beside the bed of the dying and watch life's ebbing tide drifting the loved one slowly, perhaps, but surely into the great ocean of eternity, but when there comes whispering from parched lips "Though 1 walk through the valley of death, 1 will fear DO evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me-" it brings a balm to the wounded heart. Thus closed the life of this noble man.
 Prof. Wilder had devoted his entire life to educational work. Twas partly through his efforts that we now have setting, as it is, in the most conspicious location of our city our magnificent school building which is the idol of our entire people. He served as Principal of our school during the terms of 1903-4 and 19O4-5. Among other schools that he was Principal of were those of Tip, Boards, DeView, Roe and Haynes.
 Prof. Wilder left here Sept, 15, to begin a nine months school at the latter place. He had taught only four days when he was taken very sick. For about three weeks he fingered between life and death, the latter claiming him last Sun day morning.
 A father, brother and three sis ters of the deceased reside near Florence, Ala , at which place his remains were shipped for inter ment. J. W. Wilder, an uncle of this city accompanied the body to its last resting place.
 To the broken-hearted father, brother, and sisters, who sit in sorrow where hls footsteps shall never aga1n find echo, we extend the sympathy of one who loved

Do not frighten your hens. Go about the yards and houses where they are. quietly and gently. and your hens will soon learn to know you and not scamper away in great fright as we have often seen them do on many farms. when the chick ems were considered kind of neces- sary nuisance that had to be. toler- ated. and it often becomes necessary to set the dogs on them from being too familiar. With such treatment you will not get the eggs that would come to you if you treated yolr fow,s with care and kindness.

HACKNEY 6 RAYMOND.

Miss Virgie Folsom, of Brink ley, is tie guest of Miss Ruth Powell.
 Every member of community and especially every parent should take deep interest in the public school. It is not enough to pay your school tax without complain ing, or to know that the teachers are qualified, nor is it even enough to keep your children in school regularly. If you are really inter- ested in the subject as you should be, you should visit the school regularly and consistently. Few people have any idea what an in- centive 1t is to both teacher and scholar to know that parents and outsiders are taking lively in- terest in their work. We believe the "little folks" at school appre- ciate such interest more perhaps than the larger ones. Still the eff feet is not lost on any of them, and We hope every parent will take a hint from this and place the public school on their visiting list.
