Beginning With Stock.

The man who begins the breeding
Of live stock should have a definite
purpose or object in view, and then
select breed having special quail
ties in the line desired This Is an
age of specialization, and the animal
bred, fed and trained to do a Ger
tain line of work will usually DO it
most profitably. We can, for the
present, advantageously allow others
more skilled in the business to grow
the pure bred animals for breeding
purposes, except in certain limited
special cases The average farmer
will find it more profitable to grow
animals for the production of foods
for man. What Is needed just at
present, and to start with, is a few
more dairy cows, or a few more beef
cattle; few more horses and
mules; a few more hogs, and a few
more sheep grown on the farm
These should always be from pure
bred sires, and should be fed from
the products of the farm.

WHAT 1T is TO BE A
FRIEND.
8 8 sa:a@@ MsMa as@@@ @@

To have a friend, true and tried,
is to have one of the sweetest gifts
that life can bring. To be friend
is to have solemn and tender edu-
cation of soul from day to day. A
friend gives confidence in life, and
makes us outdo ourselves; a friend
remembers us when we have forgot
ten ourselves. 1t takes a great soul
to be true friend-a large, catholic,
steadfast and loving spirit. One
must forgive much, forget much and
forbear much. 1t costs to be true
and faithful friend, or to have
friend. There is nothing in life, ex-
cept motherhood, that costs so much.
1t costs time, affection, strength, pa
tience and lot of love. To be q low
ing friend is one of the best gifts.
Love does not have to be tethered,
either in time or eternity. The in
fluence Of sympathetic friend Is as
eternal as time, as warming to the
heart as the suns rays to the chilled
Sdith, anu dS pure as InS HeaTC Oh
man when he first awoke in the Gar
den of Eden.
1t is a great and solemn thing to
say to another, human soul, your
joys shall be my joys, and your sor-
rows shall be my sorrows; in alb
sence you shall be near; you shall
never be so far from me but that 7
can hear your voice in the twilight
and in the night season. Though
land and sea divide us, you shall yet
walk by my side and kneel with me
in prayer; still shall feel the touch
of your hand, and rejoice in your
sympathy; your letters shall make
me strong and glad; to you l may
speak the deepest thoughts of my
heart; with you alone laugh; with
you alone may l shed tears and not
be ashamed"
In this life we meet and clasp
hands and part with loving fare
wells. But in the great hereafter
there shall be neither weeping nor
any sound of signing, and there shall
be no parting. "And there will be
no night there"

Humus, and How to Get 1t.

Humus, and How to Get 1t.
We had letter the other day from
a reader who wished to tell other
readers how to raise corn. His pre-
scription was short and simple: Put
corn stalks or green pine boughs in a
furrow, bed on this furrow and plant
the corn.
Now, this man had really found
out one important fact-that his soil
sadly needs humus but he had not
found out how to get that humus.
Imagine man putting pine bougbs
or corn stalks along all the rows in
twenty-acre corn field, and think
ing that he was doing profitable
work. 1t Is just such wasteful and
laborious "fiddling" about and "mak-
ing believe" at farming the. ails the
South to-day. What that .nan wants
to do is to SOW his corn land in cow
peas and then put in some winter
growing crop. Then the next season
he can grow peas or soy beans, or
peanuts or even sweet potatoes on it,
SOW it in crimson clover, plow the
clover under and thereby add more
humus and more nitrogen to his soil
in two years than he would get in a
lifetime of monkeying with corn
stalks and pine boughs.
Those corn stalks have consid-
cradle feeding value If properly
handled, and the manure they would
make would be worth more than the
stalks bedded in the rows as he de-
scribes. Yet he evidently thought
his plan good for the soil We must
count the cost of our labor in count
ing the cost of crop.
We have been doing so much un-
profitable labor which we might have
avoided that it is hard for us to get
out of the habit. We must get out,
however, and get down to genuine
farming.
If your soil needs humus--as most
Southern soils do-get it by the
growing Of leguminous crops and
the feeding of live stock; don't go
to playing about, filling burrows with
corn stalks and making beds over
them, doing lot of needless work
and merely returning to the soil a
small part OF what has been taken
from 1T. The hope of the farmer lies
not in a few quack methods and spec
tacular discoveries, but in the old
fundamentals of genuine, all-round
good farming"

understood that there are to be still
other indictments on the same ac-
count. The cases, If they come up,
will attract very general interest, not
only throughout South Carolina, but
over the country. There is said to
be a lot of strong evidence against
the accused.

Making Pea Hay.
Progressive Farmer.)

Let the peas grow until the pods
turn yellow, and then there is no hay
more easy to cure well than cow
peas, Notwithstanding all the talk
about the difficulty in curing them
They will cure II you just let them
and do not go to monkeying with all
sorts of contrivances to spoil them.
l had a letter to-day from a far
mer who said that he would not have
barn room for his pea crop and want
cd to know II they would keep well
stacked. He really answered his own
question, as he said that neighbor
had stacked some when well wilted
and limp, and they heated and steam
ed. But to his surprise, he found
that they cured perfectly. If he had
opened the stacks and tried to cool
them Oft, he would, doubtless have
had moldy hay.
Now tie peas in the morning, and.
If possible, put tedder behind the
mower to keep them tossed up and
hasten the willing. Rake the morn
ing moving into windrows that af-
ternoon. Turn them the next morn
ing and let lie till afternoon while
cutting more. Cock them that after
noon, and when the hay in the cocks
can be taken and twisted hard, and
no sap runs to the twist, haul them
in. If to go into stacks, make the
stacks well, and rake down the
sides, but cove. the tops OF the
stacks with straw or dry hay. This
hay will cure. even If the stacks heat.
Put some rails under the stacks to
keep the hay off the ground and pre-
vent its absorbing moisture from the
ground, and you have as good hay as
in the barn.

CHILD KIDNAPPED AT TOPEKA.
Little Fivc-Year-Old Girl Has Had a
Checkercd Career.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 21.-Born in
a hospital five years ago, exhibited
in an incubator at a worlds fair, the
cause for several years litigation,
and kidnapped to-day, ere the expe-
riences which already have come to
little Marion Bleakley. She was kid
mapped this morning from the home
Of her mother, and at a late hour to-
night the kidnappers were still at
large.
Two men and a woman were en-
gagged In the Kidnapping, aud the
child was obtained only after an ex-
change Of shots. which, however.
went wide of their mark. The kid
nappers fled in a buggy. The police
were notified Immediately and
posse were soon in pursuit
Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, who was
awarded the child by the Federal
courts two years ago, lived with her
mother. She worked as stenogra-
pher.
The little girl, who is five years
old, had been carefully guarded in
Topeka, and constantly attended.
This morning, woman ostensibly
selling soap, appeared at the Bleak
ley home. A half hour later a buggy
woman, appeared at the house.
One of the men alighted and en-
tered the yard where the child was
playing with a young man in whose
charge she had been left. AS the
kidnapper ran toward her the young
man attempted to interfere. The
kidnapper shot at him, but missed.
He then knocked the man down with
his revolver, carried the child to the
buggy and drove off. A large posse
was soon In pursuit.
Marion Bleakley has had a stormy
career. She was born in hospital
at st. Louis and was placed in one OF
the incubators shown at the exposi-
ton there. While there she was for
mally adopted by Mrs. Jas G. Bark
ley, OF Moline, Ill. Mrs. Bleakley
signed release, but she afterwards
sued to recover the child and was
successful in the Illinois courts. She
brought the little girl to Kansas and
she was kidnapped from the mother
in Montgomery county, but later was
recovered.
Ehe young man who was in charge
or the child to-day was Clarence Bel
knap, Of Jackson, Tenn, cousin of
Mrs. Bleakley.
The buggy in which the kidnap-
pers escaped was found at o'clock
to-day at point two miles from
where the child was stolen. Only
one rumor as to the whereabouts of
the kfdnappers has come in. A mes
sage to the chief Of police this after
noon stated that party In an auto
mobile answering the description of
the kidnappers had been seen eight
miles south Of Lawrence.
Kansas City officers are watching
the approaches to that city in an eff
fort to head off the fugitives before
they get out of Kansas.
The penalty for kidnapping in Kan
sas Is penitentiary sentence of from
six months to five years.
The automobile supposedly In use
by the kidnappers had been kept at a
local garage for two days, and was
driven by lame chauffeur.

verdict in favor of the pastor OF the

suit for $40, 200 libel brought by Mrs.
Bean.
1t was last September that Rev. At
kinson preached sermon on those
who sowed dissensions In the church,
and termed them devils ircarnate."
Mrs. Bean, member Of the flock,
thought the pastor referred to her
and filed the suit. The pastor de-
MED that he meant her particularly,
but he frankly averred that he con-
sidered her very disturbing ele-
ment. According to him she had
found fault with everything. She
found the superintendent Js the Sun
day school too slow; the teachers too
ignorant; the voices Of the choir
gave her nervous prostretion, and the
ladies of the aid society did not
know the A Cs Of giving ice

RAILROADS PAY TAXES.
Their Aggregate Value Has Been Re-
ported at $4i,952, $50.

Columbia, Aug. 27.-The comRila-
ton of railroad assessments for the
present year, made recently by the
State board of railroad assessors,
shows that the aggregate railroad
property in South Carolina is SAL
952,520, as compared with SAL
SS2,332 for the year 1908, an in
crease in valuation of $7O,1SS. 1t
was not expected that there would be
large increase in the assessments
this year, because Of the fact that
railroads were very big losers by the
August floods of 1908, and they have
not fully recovered from the effects
of the flood yet. In this connection
last year there was an appeal made
to the board and the General Assem-
bly, was informed of the reasons for
the deductions in the assessments of
1907 and 1908.
The report just compiled shows the
following facts as to the railroads of
this State:
Total value, $41,952,52O; total
value of tracks, S4O,63O,S3S; miles
of track, 2,S11; value of depots,
$5S2,044; value of wood ami water
stations, $1OS.912; machine shops,
$4,000; value of stationary en-
gines, 5000; value of tools and ma
chinery, $62, ,169; value Of buildings,
$262,1O1; value rf lots, S15O,53O;
value of lands, $124,S26; total
value of all items, save trackage,
$1,32f,6S2.
The aggregates are as follows:
Southern, >$19,S21,956; Atlantic
Coast Line, $15,73S,170: Seaboard,
$4,403,139; other lines, s1,9S9,255;
grand total, 1,952,52O.
In 1908 the report of the COM
troller general shows that the South
ern's assessment was 9,S2O,S15;
Coast Line, $15,751,93S; Seaboard
S4,4O3,1S9; other lines, $1,946,64O;
among which the Augusta-Aiken road
is assessed at s127,65S.
