by the freside with textbooks
and farm journal, and the ex-
periences of his fellow-soilsmen
IN other countries shall be in his
mind always. He must be a
student, but his knowledge shall
not all come from books.
Personal experience, expert
mentation, test plats, visits to
other model farms, the constant
inhibition of new ideas-these
shall make his battery irwin
chile. -Danbury Reporter.
Among the other things he
must do will be to work; for un-
less he can induce his sons to STAY
at home and help him, he will
have no other help; as the pres
ent labor belongs to the ssoci-
ETY., which teaches them to get
out of all they can of manuel
labor, and it will be years before
other tillers of the soil will come
in.

The Successful Farmer of the
Future.

The day is coming when the
small farm; the labor-saving ma
chinery, the knowledge of
seasons and soils and rotations,
and the careful but intense cult
vation, shall constitute the
equipment which will yield hand
some returns. The farmer of
the future who shall win success
will be an educated man. He
will know his fields like the
potter knows his clay, and his
mind will be as skilled as the
hand of the artisan who fashions
the vase. He will be able to
plan a campaign upon his plats
with the same precision that Lee
planned at Cold Harbor, and ex-
ecute it with the success of Jack
son at Antietam. AS the lawyer
knows his code, he will be ac-
quainted with soils and strata;
and as the practitioner is drilled
in the art of civil procedure, he
will know the rotations. He
must be familiar with precedent,
and his evenings shall be spent

late Edward Jack, long a resident

county. He was 35 years of age,

Of splendid habits, fine business
qualifications a true friend, a

him esteemed him as one of

He leaves two brothers, Ebert

Sunfower county, and Misses
Fannie and Pearl Jack to mourn

Japanese Cane.

M. F. Berry, of Pachuta, Miss,
raised this season 48 tons of
green forage to the acre Of Japa-
nese cane, which statement is
testified to by M. w. Thornton,
mayor Of that town, and j. M
MCGOWAN, a farmer, who lives
there. It is claimed that one
ton made Is gallons Of molasses,
or 72O gallons to the acre. He
claims that as a stock feed it's
great yield and fattening quail
ties make it one of the most
profitable to plant. If it grows
as successfully for others as it
did for the Jasper county farmer
then Rankinites can feed their
cows plenty Of hay sandwiches
that will make the owner smile
when he looks at his full milk
pals and his Il "oz" pounds Of
butter.

Rankin's 1908 Assessment G
Personal Property.

ST, 431, ,343 is the assessed
value of personally in this coun-
ty for 1908, which healthy in
crease shows remarkably well
for a year that has been quite a
hard one; being S30, ITO more
than last years assessment.
However, the item Of money,
$40, GIT, is a decrease of SIS, GIG,
but solvent credits, $144, 375,
shows an increse of ST, ,532,
which indicates possibly that
some of the cash on hand last
year was doing the mimble dollar
act by being loaned to the
neighbor. The following are the
assessments for each heat.

CROPS or PRISON FARMS.
Supt. Neyiand Returns From a
Trio of inspection.

Supt. Neyland of the Missis-
sippi penitentiary farms has just
returned from a visit to all of
the farms and has made a care
full inspection Of same. Supt.
Neyland reports that the boil
worm has made its appearance at
the Sunfower or Parchman place
and has already done much
damage, and with the present
weather May yet do considerable
harm. The cotton is all well
grown and thoroughly cultivated,
and up to about ten days ago
promised magnificent yield.
It has been free from any of
the usual crop pests until this ap-
pearance of the boil worm and
much injury is feared on that
account. During the past four
or five days rain has been
excessive and the weather is
still threatening with frequent
showers, promising no break at
any time soon. Teo much rain
at this time will likely cause
much shedding and rotting and
tend to undo the hitherto splendid
prospect. What is true of the
penitentiary farms is true of the
crops in all parts of the state,
since the state owns farms in
every section, although it's
heaviest holdings are in the

Jewelry --------- $467. 90
Gold. silver and plated
ware S115. 90
A poor man living on rented
land, whose earthly possessions
are a few household goods, not
taxable. and a poor horse or
mule, which must ploW to make
a crop to support & wife and sew
eral children, must pay a tax on
that animal, which seldom es-
ea9ts being collected, and also
carries with it the $500 poll tax
of the owner.
A person possessed Of dia-
monds and silver and other ex-
pensive things Of adornment and
ornament for person and house
keeping are able to pay the taxes
on such vafuables and should be
made to pay.
Doubtless there are O few fam
lies in this county whose jeweiry
and silver ware would be easily
worth 4 times the assessed value
of all such property, and many
others own enough to make the
total sum subject to taxation go
to many thousands. Everybody
has the right to own all the jew
elry they can buy, but the taxes
on it should be paid. The poor
man returning home after trip
to town to sell eggs and pay his
$500 poll tax and the small sum
on his horse has a bad taste in
his mouth after passing q stylish
turnout, drawn by a fine horse,
with diamond bedecked hands
holding the reins and he knows
those sparklers worth many times
all he has do not pay any tax at
all.
Those who forgot, or neglect
ed to tell the assessor Of all their
taxable property can easily have
it added to their list, thereby
freeing the conscience of a bur
den which should bear heavily
upon it and also be assisting in
paying the expenses of the coun-
ty and state which the law says
they should do.
