With the long winter evenings ap- proaching. plans for a systematic course of reading or study would be an excellent thing for the ambitious boy or girl who may not have all the advantages he or she desires. A bright young person could outline q very sat isfactory course for himself. which. fl followed out conscientiousiy. would be of great value to him, while to him who may have trifie more spare time excellent courses of correspondence in special and even collegiate courses are offered by schools and universities of high standing. More than one earnest young student has acquired the major part of a college education in this way. The chief requirements are industry. patience and perseverance.

While It is true that . tract set apart as an orchard should not be turned into a hog lot. 1t Is nevertheless worth remembering that it Is a real benefit to the trees and results in fruit that Is free from worms If a drove of hogs can be given the range Of the orchard for three or four hours day from the time when the windfall apples begin to litter the ground These drops are usually wormy. and the worms are de stroyed when the apples are con sumed When tbe drops reach a mer- chantable size the hogs may be kept out of the orchard until after harvest. when there will be considerable more stuff they will clean up Besides cleaning up the apples and destroying a lot of worms they will also devour a good many grubs and insects Of one kind and another.

TO PRESS TROUSERS.

To press trousers, place them fat on
an ironing blanket, fronts upward.
Dampen the knee portion thoroughly.
Let stand half hour; cover with cloth
and press dry. Now, fold in crease,
dampen, and press in the usual way.
The bullying appearance about the
knees will have entirely disappeared
and the cloth will be shrunken to the
original shape. Trousers pressed in this
manner will hold their own three times
as long as those pressed in the usual
way.

you need only half one, put the other

which we have recently published
without realizing that We are on the
wrong track.
Ii man finds cotton growing more
profitable than cattle growing. let
him grow cotton by all means. The
chances are that If the ordinary cot
ton farmer quit growing cotton and
went into the cattle business his last
state would be no better than his
first. But before any man decides
which of the two will pay him better
he must take into account the effects
OF the two industries upon his soil.
BY combining stock and cotton we
can make money out of both.
Neither Prof Massey nor any 9TH
er member of our staff has ever tried
to drive anyone into a different sys-
tenn OF farming; but we have been
doing our best to lead the farmers
OF our territory into more profitable
lines Of endeavor by telling them OF
other men who have made, and
showing them how they could make
money by better methods. If anyone
can compare the results Of Southern
farming with that Of other sections
where live stock is the basis of agri-
culture. II he can read und see the
success which other men have achiev-
ed by growing good stock and i'm
proving their soils. II he can look out
over the lamentably poor fields of the
south and see the downright, heart
breaking poverty Of the average
Southern cotton grower. and still be-
iieve that cotton pays better than a
system Of farming which includes the
raising of stock and the up-buiffing
OF the soil. we fear that we have
nothing to say that can change his
mind.--Progessive Farmer. A.,

FORCED ACID DOWN HER
THROAT.
Body OF Dying Woman Found IN
Wood Shed 1T Vincennes. Ind.

WooU Sntd et SfncenneS, Ind.
Vinvennes.. Ind, March 24.-Mrs.
Jessie Overton Culberston is dying to-
night 1T is said. as the result of hav-
ing carbolic acid forced down her
throat and her jaws afterwards Sc
curely bound. She was found today
In shed back of her home. Revived
for few seconds she said: "a man
and woman dragged me into the
wood shed and poured something
down my throat"
The police attributes the crime to
jealousy. They have held a letter
purporting to be from a Jealous wo-
man since Monday. The letter was
found under Mrs. Culberston's door
steps. 1t warned her to give up her
husband under penalty of death.
Russell Culberston, the woman's
husband, arrived tonight from Law
renceburg, Ill. When shown the
threatening letter, he said he recog-
nized the writing as that of a woman
he once knew, but who had not been
in Vincennes for many years.
Mrs. Culbertson who is twenty-five
years old, came here a few years ago
as trained nurse. While caring for
Joshua Brazelton, Republican Coun-
ty chairman, she fell in love with her
patients step-son, Culbertson. The
two eloped to Lawrenceburg, Ill.
In the shed in which Mrs. Culbert-
SON was found, the police tonight dis
covered paper on which was a skull
| and crossbones, and the words good
bye" The writing was the same as
that of the letters.

The above inquiry and answer have
80 much good sense in them that I
wish every reader Of these columns
would give them careful study. I
wish to especially indorse what Is
said about the ordinary cotton farm
er" quitting cotton for stock raising.
The better way is for the cotton farm
er TO add some cattle and hogs, not
an expensive outlay but a few, and
when he has learned to handle them
prohtably. the material increase will
give him all he needs, until his ex-
perience will warrant more extensive
stock farming. Stock farming is a
growth. except in the few cases where
money Is plentiful-unless gone into
slowly and naturally 1t is as easy a
way to drop money as the all cotton
system.
Buying fine stock at fancy prices
and expecting to make big money by
selling the increase at fancy prices
will prove a delusion and a snare.
Why? Because fancy prices are the
result of years Of patient painstaking
breeding Of the best, for the best, and
nothing but the best; properly adver-
tised. with the reputation of always
having the stock as good or better
than the advertisement describes
them.
