" 1t is heavenly spot, returned Philip, with fervor
in his voice that was new and decidedly surprising
Daniel But-but, dear girl, it IS because you are in

There was of course, way for listening Daniel to
discover how this sudden passionate appeal affect

About one o'clock, leisurely, long-armed Daniel re-
turned from the village with letters and provisions for
the Lions Den-for the lions, Philip said When
Daniel had meekly received Regina's upbradings for
his tardiness and had the generous meal she had

eyes, and fell asleep On the upper deck, just nine feet
above the slumberng YOUTH sat Rhea and Marston,
reading their mail while Dicky still immune from dis

tout clohes-line, gambolled about nosiy. Presently
one of Dicys whoops, louder than its predecessor,
reused Daniel and the lad still only half awake, up
and yawned prodigously but silently Then, solely
because he so dearly loved the two voices murmuring
Just above his head and not because of any deliberate

Labor Saving Tools.

II is unwise to do by hand any work
which can be done as well by ma
chinery. The time saved is one con-
sheraton, and the energy saved is
another.
Uniformity of product can be OBJ
tanned better by mechanical means
than by hand. No two operators are
alike in skill, and the condition OF
bodily fatigue or other physical weak
nesses often determines the output.
With a machine, there is no fatigue
and no dis.''Ee OF the task and the
work is done more perfectly than by
any other method.
A greater amount of work can be
done by mechanical means than by

produced with as little expense as
possible, and when we are able to
save time to be used in doing some.

MAKING BEEF IN THE SOUTH
Results Of Experiments at Mississippi
Station Tend to Show II
Is Profitable.

J. A. Mclean of the Mississippi ex-
pertinent station believes profitable
beef making in the south is possible.
He announces results of recent expert
ments as follows:
Cottonseed meal and hulls when
fed to two-year-olds give excellent
daily gains at profit making cost.
Yearling will not finish into market
condition in a To-day period on cot
tonseed meal and hulls.
A full ration of meal for two-year-
olds, as indicated by this experiment,
should not exceed rs pounds per
head per day and probably not more
than seven pounds per head per day.
One-year-old stock cannot econom-
ically consume six pounds per head
per day of meal.
Discussing the situation in a general
way he says:
Tick fever has been a great factor
in keeping men from stock growing.
Many impressions have been freely
scattered broadcast regarding the ire
mendously great damages wrought by
the fever tick and the inability to OBJ
viate these evils. There is no ques-
ton but that care has to be exercised
in growing cattle south of the tick
line. Nevertheless, they are success.

without undue care. Texas, Arkansas
and to a lesser extent Mississippi and
Alabama grow excellent cattle Of the

teal thing to grow cattle in the tick
infested areas.
The hardships wrought by the
Texas fever tick are two-fold. Direct
ly they affect the individual When
the ticks become numerous on an ami

it to an emaciated condition. Thi:

overcoming this barrier to the buyini

however, quite a number of superio

farmers do not have to undergo tn

SITUATION OF COTTON CROP
Spinners Up to All Kinds Of BIufinu
in Order to Induce Farmer to
Market Staple Quickly.

While there is always more or less
. talk among the spinning interests DUR
ing that portion of the season when
cotton is most active in passing out of
the hands Of the growers, especially
when shortage in the yield forces an
advance in the price, about curtailing
consumption because of the dearness
Of the raw material, we doubt if there
has been a single instance since the
resumption of business on a normal
scale following the interruption caused
by the civil war where the price of the
raw material itself was directly re-
sponsible for the mills operating on
short time. The higher cost of the
raw cotton might, it is true, slightly
affect the consumption demand for the
nished product, yet not to such an ex.
tent as would make it good business
judgment to let the machinery lie idle
and the investment, consequently, re-
turn nothing. Indeed not-the profits
have always been too large for that,
says the Houston Post.
In this connection tht Kansas City
Times calls attention to certain pub
lished statistics bearing on the profits
of the industry in New England that
are worth noting. when the tariff
bill was pending" says the Times,
the cotton manufacturers of New
England demanded and secured re-
vision upward instead of revision
downward for the schedule affecting
them. They declared that the cot
ton industry could not possibly stand
a reduction Of the import duties. A
few days ago a Boston newspaper
published big display advertisement
for the sale of new stock in cotton
mill located in Boston. To show how
profitable cotton stock investments
had been in the past, list of IS mills
was given, together with their CAPT
talization, surplus and dividends for
1907. An analysis of the table shows
@ that the dividends averaged q per
cent. on the capital stock, that the
accumulated surplus was almost as
much as the capital and that the mar
ket value of the stock of the is com
panieS was almost two and one-hali
times the par value Therefore, con
gresS increased the protection" on ar
industry in which the value of stocks
market quotations and accumulated
surplus being taken into account-ha.
increased more than 800 per cent. ovel
the par value, and which, in addition
to this increase in value, are paying
Fl per cent. dividends"
o The truth OF the matter is, the spin
ming wrold is up to all the arts o
biufing in order to hasten the market
ing of the crop, as it is in such Quicl
movement that 1t is best enabled t
dictate the price. The farmers inter
est lies in getting wise to this fac
and in arranging his affairs so as t
market. his staple only when it please
him to do so.

Posting the Map.


A firm of map publishers had en-
gagged resident surveyor to furnish
them an outline drawing of a new
county that had been organized in the
Far Southwest, with the principal
watercourses, lines of projected rail-
ways, if there were any, location of
the postoffices, and other points of
interest, and he had promised to ac-
quaint them with any changes that
might take place from time to time as
the county developed.
There came an exceedingly hot and
dry summer, during which one of the
streams utterly dried up. There
upon the surveyor wrote them the fol-
lowing letter:
Gentlemen Agreeably to my
promise to keep you posted as to any
changes, Typographical or otherwise,
in the map of this county which I
sent you several months ago, it be-
comes my duty to inform you that
Sugar Creek has entirely disappeared
and may be erased from the map.
