The Idle Foot Was Tired.

A lady was watching a potter at his
work, whose one foot was kept with
"never-slackening speed turning his
swift wheel round" while the other
rested patiently on the ground. When
the lady said to him in a sympathetic
tone, How tired your foot must be!'
the man raised his eyes and said,
No, ma'am, it isn't the foot that
works that's tired, it's tho foot that
stands! That's it."
If you want to keep yoIr strength,
use it. If you want to DIT tired, do
nothing. AS matter Of fact, we all
know that the last ma ITO go to for
a helping hand for aY new under
taking is the man VIII fhas plenty of
time on his hands.
It is the man and @oman who are
doing most who are always willing
to do a little more.--Nationa Advo-

First Consideration.

over-enthusIastic supporters of the
various movements for the control
OF the price OF cotton too often lose
sight of the fact that a product "well
bought is half sold"
On one occasion we heard the
leader of a great cotton growers
movement seriously declare that we
knew enough about making cotton
and that all the South needed now
was to get the worth OF her great
staple product. We should not miss
any opportunity to strengthen and
improve our marketing, but 1t is the
height OF absurdity to neglect the
production side. The man who makes
his cotton for six cents a pound, no
matter how high the selling price,
has just four cents pound greater
profit than the man who makes 1t at
a cost of ten cents. Likewise the
man who makes a bale to the acre
will make a greater profit than the
man who makes but half bale. 1t
Is, therefore, nonsense, II not some
thing worse, for any man to claim

WISE WORD.

No man can buy peace by selling
principle.
None come on happiness by hunt
ing it alone.
The way to kill love is to count on
its profits.
Repentance is always lame without
restitution and reformation.
The man who brags of his humility
is equally proud of his consistency.
Citizenship in heaven will not ex-
empt you from either taxes or service
here.
It's the habit of our minds never
to think of thorns until we are pay
ing for the roses.
A plate of soup may weigh as much
in the universe as many a song or
sermon on brotherhood.
When you get after the profits of
oppression you will hear lot about
the principles Of liberty.
The bigot is the man who thinks
that all souls go to heaven only
through his private knothole.
The fool has two extremely difficult
tasks, to know himself and to keep
others from doing the same.
The reformer who blows a trumpet
is more anxious to astonish the ma
tiyes than to surprise the enemy.
We can do nothing better than to
analyze the problem of poverty and
nothing worse than to stop with an
alysis.-From Sentence Sermons"

We have much yet TO learn about

we still need TO learn about produc-

The one We can do without the as
sigtance Of our feIlow-prOducerg.
while the other is largely beyond our
individual influence. The one re-

tunity TO give his aid to any move
ment which will make for co-opera-
tive action in the marketing Of the

Poultry 'sAfusts. /"

To get what we should from poul-
try we must ID keep more and bet
ter poultry; ~ house and care for
1t better; (3) feed It better, and ~
markets the products in better condi-
ton.
Pure bred birds are beet, ID be-
cause the products when offered for
sale are uniform and will bring bet
ter prices, 90 because eggs and fowls
may be sold at remunerative prices
for breeding purposes. and (3) be-
cause properly bred and selected
birds will produce more eggs or meat
with the same feed and care than
win those not bred for any specific
purpose
Dampness and filth are the two
great things to be guarded against in
Southern poultry houses Dampness
must be avoided at all cost, and the
houses must be kept clean-free from
filth, bad doors and yermin.
We must learn to feed our poultry
properly, to have balanced ration
and to give them green food and grit.
We must also learn to put up our
eggs in better shape. and to have uni
form lots of birds to offer for sale.
The manner in which the Southern
poultry and eggs are marketed is
largely responsible for the low prices
they bring.-Progressive Farmer.
