Improved Breeding.
Inc agricultural colleges and expe-
riment STATIONS are accomplishing
great WORK Tor agriculture and live
stock industry by encouraging better
ureeuihs OF ANIMALS ana plants. The
importance OF the farm to national
prosperity was recognized In the en-
dowment OF agricultural uniyersities
ana the establishment Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, with the secre-
tary member OF the Presidents cab
met. The farming interests Of the
country depend on these institutions
OF learning to blaze the way to SCI
entinc Improvement In husbandry.
Farmers have lost their prejudice
against scientific husbandry in the
achievements Of the agricultural coll
leges in nearly all departments Of
plant and animal industry. If greater
profits are realized in animal husband
~ 1t is because farmers are paying
more attention to better breeding and
early maturity Of live stock. Fruit
and cereals Increase in yields per
acre because better seed is used In
the production of the crop. A decade
ago there were no corn expeditions
and improved seed breeding was
subject considered by few progress
sive farmers. To-day corn breeding,
with view of improving its quality
and yield, has become as prominent
In husbandry as improving animal In

Building Up WORKOUT Soils.
Probably the most rapid way to build
up worn-out soil, when barnyard ma
hure Is not plentiful, is to give It q
course OF treatment, such as described;
then grow only forage crops, buy grain
to feed with them, and return all the
manure thus produced to the Land.
Dairy farming permits such system
to be followed, and no other type of
farming builds up land 30 quickly.
Prof. NJ J. Spillman, agriculturist,
In charge OF farm management investi-
cations. United States Bureau Of Plant
Industries. says another type that
gives quick results Is to grow
succession OF pasture crops for hogs,
keep the hogs on these pastures, and
feed them fourth to half ration Of
grain. In middle ATTITUDES the follow
Ing system Is adapted to this type Of
farming: Grow corn enough for the
pigs on part Of the farm. sowing either
COW peas or crimson clover or rye in
the corn yearly. to keep up fertility.
The two latter crops furnish winter
pasture for the pigs. On the remainder
of the farm run the following, three
year rotation: Sow oats In early
spring; follow by rye early In August 5,
follow this by sorghum the following
spring; In September or October BOW
rye again, after the sorghum; late the
next spring SOW either sorghum or cow

What's the matter?" asked his

MANY GIFTED BLIND PEOPLE.
Remarkably Numerous Are Instances Where Severe AffIiction Has
 Been Overcome.

The great sightless of the world prove that blindness is no insur- mountable handicap to success in life. Blind Homer, weaving le- gends of heroes and gods; Milton, creating epics of heaven and hell, have been followed in this more practical age by that unique wom- an figure, Helen Keller; that great ship designer, John Herreshoff; the great economist, Henry Fawcett of England the orator Senator Gore of Oklahoma Louis Braille, who gave the sightless the inestimable blessing of reading. and Joseph Pu- litzer, the great blind journalist. Others there be, hardly less notable than these, who by courage and pa tience have made themselves useful citizens, adding to the worlds hap piness and triumphing over theil blindness, which, of all affiictions seems most stultifying.
 It is a curious fact that the ratio of really gifted blind people is out of all proportion to their total num- Der when one compares them with those who have full power to see. Nature, as if repentant at the af' fiction it has imposed upon these people, seems to endeavor to make partial amends by sharpening the other faculties to an almost uncanny degree in some instances. We need only to study briefly the lives of the great quartet to perceive this.-Van Norden's Magazine.

and sugar. Internal revenue was col
lected. beginning In 1862, and two years
later the duties were raised 80 per.
cent for a period Of ninety days.
After succession of tariff measures
to the wars close cessation Of this
form Of legislative activity occurred.
But in 1870 and 1872 reduct tons were
made down the list, some Of which
were restored in 1874, making the ay-
erage duty 1914 per cent A tariff
commission was appointed In 1882
which prepared bill that was put on
the statute books, lasting six years. 1t
was at this time that James G. Blaine
took a most active part in tariff dis
cussions. 1t was in the early eighties
that William R. Morrison Of Illinois.
Democratic chairman of ways and
means, prepared his well known hor-
izontal reduction Of 20 per cent on all
taxed products, which was defeated.
During Cleveland's first administra-
ton the Mills bill was a powerful is.
sue. and in 1888 the tariff fight result
ed in the election OF Benjamin Har-
rison to the presidency. He stood for
a high protective tariff. As result
the Mckinley bill was enacted, putting
the duties over the marks reached dur
ing the civil war.
The Wilson Bill.
But the revulsion which followed re-
suited In the reelection Of Cleveland
in 1892, with Democratic congress.
Then resulted the Wilson bill, proyid-
ing for wholesale reductions, particu-
larry as regarding iron and steel man
ufactures. 1t should be noted that the
Dingley bill in 1897 retained practi-
cally the iron and steel duties laid
down in the Wilson measure.
Though William Mckinley was elect
ed on the financial issue in 1896, his
first act after being sworn in as presi-
dent was the calling of an extra ses-
sion of congress to repeal the Wilson
German tariff bill. The result Of that
session was the Dingley law, named
for its author, Nelson Dingley, Jr, of
Maine, which put the schedules prac-
tically back on the Mckinley basis.
Following is comparison between
the old Dingley tariff rates and those
of the new Pavno hil1.

THE FREE LIST.

The new free list Of the Payne bill
includes the following articles:
Petroleum, crude and refined, was.
continued on the free list, though con-
siderable opposition to this procedure
developed.
Hides were put on the list after pro-
longed and bitter controversies. Sena-
tor Aldrich and various Of the older
members Of the upper house led the
campaign against free hides. The
Dingley bill placed duty Of Is per
cent ad valorem on hides.
The new free list, while very similar
to that of the Dingley bill, contains the
following articles that, among others,
were not on the Dingley list:
Hides, fenceposts, sulphate of am
monia, platinum combinations with
palladium, osmium and rhodium, kin

In the case of ex sheriff Shipp
lot Chattanooga with others
charged with being in contempt
of the United States Supreme
Court, for permitting prisoner
to be lynched without making the
proper effort to protect the pris-
oner. The court on Monday de-
livered its decision holding the
sheriff and his colleagues to be
guilty, and. pronounced sentence
Of ninety days in jail. We look
for many southern newspapers to
go into Mysteries over this sen
tence Of the court, but we do not
think they should. The fact of
Sheriff Shipp being an ex-confed-
crate soldier should have no eff
feet, in all probability it was that
which elected HIM to the Office:
but be failed to do his duty, in
not protecting the prisoner in
his charge. The sheriff was an
aged man-76 years-too old for
such position, and if, as was in
timated, he was afraid to prevent
the lynching of the negro on the
eve Of his reelection as it would
lose him votes, be deserves even
a heavier sentence than ninety
days in jail.

COME TO The MEETIaG.

The meeting to take place in
Manning next Wednesday will
be OF more than usual interest,
and Importance tc all who are in.
terested in the uplifting of the
agricultural development Of this
county. Those in charge of the
arrangements have spared nc
time IN communicating with the
very best kind of speakers and
securing their promise to be here
on the 2lth which is next Wed
nesday. There should be rec
ord breaking attendance from all
over the county. There will be
gentlemen here who are an au-
thority on the various agriculture
subjects they will discuss, and we
are sure it will pay any man to
spare the time TO come to Man
ming to hear them. We should be
especially glad if our friend Of
the legal fraternity from Sum
merton would lend his presence
on this occasion. We think he
would lose his crouch and get
converted 70 the agricultural as-
itation.
