An Old Die.

Prof K Zengelis, writing in the
Chemiker Zeitung, calls attention to
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that has
been preserved. 1t was found in
Egypt in 1904, but is now in the Mu-
scum at Athens. 1t consists OF bronze
and is engraved with the owl that
was stamped on Athenian tetradrach-
ma pieces, which contained about as
much silver as three quarter-dollars.
The die is of high scientific interest
on account of the evidence it gives of
the skill of the ancients, three or four
hundred years before Christ, in
metallurgy. 1t contains about 221a per
cent. of tin and nearly 70 per cent.
of copper. 1t is extremely hard, but
at the same time possesses a certain
malleability, due to the great purity
of the copper and tin, which was care
fully freed from all traces Of lead and
zinc to preserve the hardness and from
arsenic and anthony to avoid brit
tleness. Youths Companion.

The Reardless Man.

and among other short cuts to for

shaving, matter of Is cents a day
and about twenty minutes of preci-
GUS time, If the barber made good.
After trial OF various cosmetics and
depilatories he decided that electricity
sis was a far better, though very
tedious, process. In five months the
root of every hair in both beard and
moustache was utterly destroyed by
an electric current from constant
battery. The man suffered consider

How 70 Apply Manure 70 Land.

While / believe in deep blowing
do not believe in deep burying of ma
nure. A coat of manure turned down
with a furrow that throws it fiat to
the bottom may have bad effect in
preventing the rise of capillary mois-
ture. That is not the way to pillow
In any event. Take more narrow
furrow and edge up the furrow
slices, and never turn them upside
down. In this way coat of manure
will be evenly distributed in the soil
and the capillarity will not be inter
eered with.
The best place for manure is near
the surface where it will act as a
mulch and conserve the moisture,
while the rains will carry the soluble
parts to the roots of the crop. If it
were always practicable / would
rather spread the manure after plow-
eng and then disc it in well with the
surface. But this is only practicable
with the manure spread in the spring,
and we should by that time have the
bulk OF it already spread during the
winter. A light coat of manure near
the surface will do more good than
q heavy one buried deeply in the
soil.
Don't imagine that when you haul
q bit of dirt from a fence row and
pile and mix it with your manure
that it is all manure. The dirt may
absorb some of the manure, but the
soil in the field would absorb it Just
as well if spread on it as fast as
made.
There is seldom a time in the
South when the manure spreader
cannot be used in winter except when
lt is too wet to drive on the land
and there is far less loss from ma.
nure spread on the surface of the
field than anywhere you can put it.
With plenty of bedding in box stalls
manure can be kept tramped down
without serious loss, but when once
loosened up it should so at once tn
the field
And yet in driving recently
through one Of the most highly i'm.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1T is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
it my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me of indi-
gestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. / followed instruc-
tons and now am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see it."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use Of Grape-Nuts food is that it
is predigested by natural processes,
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order there can be
no dyspepsia, for nervous energy rep
resents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can
be used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

To Raise EARLY WatermelOns.

To Raise Early Watermelons.
Select land If possible that slopes
southwark and pillow deep and har-
row until the soil is free from all
clods. Lay off rows ten feet apart
each way and dig holes fifteen inches
square and one foot deep and fill
these holes half full with strong
stable manure well pulyerized and
on top of this put in enough of any
rich soil to fill the hole. The object
is to make small hot-bed, in order
to induce the seed to terminate
quickly.
Now make boxes out of one by
six plank ten by twelve inches in
length and width and place a box
over each hole and incline it south
ward so as to catch the rays of the
sun, say forty-five degrees, more or
less, on fair days.
Over this box put pane Of win
dow glass to shed the cold rain and
to hold the heat from the manure
inside the box. Plant seed as soon
as the bed is made warm from the
heat arising from the fertilizer.
Rake up soil on outside of box until
it reaches the top of box. The OBJ
iect of banking up the soil Is to make
the air warm inside to promote plant
growth as rapidly as possible during
the cold snaps of spring.
After plants are up they must be
watched daily. If the weather is
cold keep them covered but if warm
slip the glass cover little to one
side to allow air to enter. Keep
the inside of box as near growing
temperature as possible.
When danger of cold is passed
take the soil away from outside of
box and lift it off, removing box and
glass to some safe storage place for
another seasons trial.
Plants will be on level and should
be worked rapidly enough to keep
ahead of growth,
Following this method will put
ripe melons on the market anywhere
in Georgia or Alabama the first days
of June. r. M.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant The trouble is. the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis OF
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter-
ested in paint. -

Our smoke-houses have been too
far from home. Now is the time
20 begin to think of the hog and to
learn how best to raise him more
abundantly upon our farms. He can
thrive in the South as well as in any
section. He can not eat cotton, but
he can eat rape, vetch, peas, Ber-
muda, sorghum, peanuts and corn,
and can transform them into bacon
that will help us make our cotton,
help us to hold our cotton, and help
as to keep our cotton money at home.
The great Shakespeare made Richard
the Third exclaim, "A horse! "A
horse! MY kingdom for a horse!"
We need to cry, "A hog! A hog! My
cotton plantation for hog!" The
hog manures earlier than any other
valuable animal. He will mature as
early as a cotton crop. In one year
he is food In your smoke-house
or money in your pocket. He is easy
TO raise; eats any and all things,
transforms waste into valuable food.
Turns garbage into money No nation
or people are great or strong who
do not eat meat Meat is the great
source of human energy 1t is the
steam and electricity that moves hui
man muscle and human brain.
7 The South is the great clothing
and food producing centre of the
globe. We are not doing half we
should do. We need more energy and
better directed energy. We need
more hog meat to be transformed in
TO thousand forms Of field and fac
tory products. We have been asked
70 write more on hogs this year. We
are going to do so. Farmers wake
up, 1t is daylight; lit is time to go
out and call the hogs and feed them"
Get you some fencing, build your hog
lots, plant various crops that will
help you carry them throughout the
year. Buy you some Berkshires, Es-
sex, Poland China, Duroc Jersey. Get
better stock, raise more of them,
grow more feed for them and have
more bacon. One OF our friends
wisely said so many are foolishly
writing about reducing the acre
age" and ''resoluting about reduc-
.tion," without giving our farmers a
substitute for this cotton area Here
Is a substitute. The Cultivator
points you a safe and practical way:
TO reduce the area raise more hogs
and more cows. We are annually
sending millions to Chicago for meat.
Let's keep this money in the South.
We can do it. It only requires each
farmer to do his duty in raising his
own home supplies. Read what one
OF our subscribers writes in this is
sue. Last year he killed eighty head,
this year expects to have 100. This
ls the spirit we need, more and more,
until we can feed the South, and
develop her resources as they should
be developed. Here is for more hogs
and better ones.-Southern Cultiya-

Navy Beans Not Profitable in Gouth.
Navy beans may be grown in small
amount for home use in South Caro-
lima, but as commercial crop they
are not profitable. Your climate is
too humid and there will be so large
a percentage of damaged beans that
the manipulating would take all the
profit of the crop. These beans are
better adapted to the climate Of the
North and are mainly grown in West
ern New York and in Michigan, and
we cannot compete with these States
in growing them in the South. They
do not need a very rich soil nor heavy
fertilization. High, sandy soil will
suit them and fertilizer of about
500 pounds per acre-five parts acid
phosphate, one part muriate of pot
ash, and one part nitrate of soda
will do very well. Would not advise
you to plant them on any large scale
till you have tried them.-W. F.
Massey.
