winter Care of Plants.

Now that the house heating has com
meneed, Il should be borne in mind that
house plants will require extra care II they
are expected to flourish. Palms, rubee-
plants, etc, should have their lsaves gently
sponbed quite frequently with equal psrts
q milk and lukeWarm water or soapsuds
during the winter. A~fterUard they may be
watered. Each leaf must be supported BY
the hand while being cleansed
The best way 10 water plants during cola
weather is to place the pets In a vesssl
containing water coming an inch above
the pots. This should be done every two
OF three days for two hours.
Don't experiment with unknown medi-
cines when you have a cold. Take Cham

was employed. Lord Robert, having
fallen In love with the beautiful house

THE SILVER LINING

If the present panic only teaches
our southern people to be less ex-
travagant il will be the silver lining
to the panic cloud. 1t seems that We
love to wear the debtors chain. No
man is a free man who wears the
chain of debt. The credit system is
the curse of the south. II curses both
the man who gives it and the man
who receives il. 1t is the natural
cause of high prices. II every farmer
would plant only half as much cotton
and use less fertilizers or only as
much as he could pay spot cash for.
and raise more hog and hominy, it
would give him % or 3O-cent cotton
and he would have money to pay cash
for all he needed 1t would develop
our agricultural and commercial re-
sources a thousand fold and make the
southland the garden spot of the
world.-Lake Butler Star.

er fruits nor vegetables-just plain
farming.
The growing of corn, oats, peanuts
and sweet potatoes-the ordinary
farm crops, and the raising of cattle.
sheep and hogs gives an assured good
living. and the fruits and vegetables
that are more risky are list trat much

I know it is hard to find a farmer
in this section that don't grow his
feed for home supply, and fatten hogs
for his meat; produce his milk and
butter. and have an abundance of
chickens and eggs, with a good mar
ket all of the year for any surplus.

The Soil Mulch

As soon as the land is plowed it
should be narrowed thoroughly, and
again narrowed at intervals of about
ten days or two weeks until the crop
is planted. Just when the narrowing
should be done will depend on the
weather, but the field should be har-
rowed often enough to retain a good
soil mulch; that is, the surface of the
soil, to the depth of one or two inches,
should be kept thoroughly pulverized.
This will prevent a large part Of the
moisture from evaporating and being
lost before the crop is planted. 1t is
especially important to run the har-
row over the ground after every lain.
This breaks the slight surface crust
that is apt to form, and prevents the
loss of moisture in the air. In the dry
spring of last year we were able, by
this method, to retain sufficient mois-
ture in the soil to terminate cotton,
corn and velvet bean seed. This sur
face cultivation should be continued
even after blowing. The correct agri-

Mr.. LEAGUE SELLS HIS HOME

For some time past Mr.. Frank Tea
que has been on a trade with Mrs. W.
NJ. Mcdowell of Oak for the sale OF
his place, and the trade was consum-
mated this week. The house is a
large and handsome one and is 'ocat-
ed on Fort King avenue.
Mrs. Mcdowell has two daughters,
and this family will prove valuable
acquisition to the society and relig-
ious circles of our city.
Mr.. league retains his corner house
and though he expects to go to Lady
Lake to live for a time, he will not
sever his relations with Ocala, and
as soon as his little boys grow old
enough to attend school he will return
and resume his citizenship amongst
us.
He has purchased the home place
at Lady Lake and expects to put it in
excellent shape.
Besides having an excellent general
farm he has a fine, promising orange
grove.
His friends are wishing him big sue

GOVERNMENT COMPETITION
eubIishers Ask Their Congressman to
Protect Them From Ruinous
Competition

The Hayti Mo) Herald has writ
ten letter TO its congressman. draw
ing his attention to the matter of the
government entering the printing field
and doing an illegitiUale competition.
AS ii pays no freight it is about 10 run
out the job printing Office. The Her
aid says:
We have noticed 50 many violations
Of the postal laws among our ex-
changes and after a careful examina-
ton OF the laws have found them so
foreign to the country printed that we
have caused a letter to be published
on the seventh page of this paper
which We will ask everyone to read.
and before you cast L aside write to
the department for form $500 and read
same carefully. When you have done
this you will join with us in asking
a change. The envelope proposition
is merely TO show TO what tendencies
the department is drifting. Suppose
the government should enter into com
petition with other branches of bust
ness, manufacture and labor and have
free use of the mails for advertising.
There have been ten times as many
pieces of envelope advertising sent
ont as there are letters going to the
dead letter Office for want of the
printed return, for every postofice in
the United States has been flooded
with envelope advertising.

THE COLUMBIA STATE ON TILL
MAN

Two or three years ago Senator Ben
Tnlman protested against being desig-
mated as a politician" 7 IN d
statesman" he said In his address
to South Carolina teachers on New
Years evening the eonator referred
| TO himself as "a sentinel on the VIII
tower"
Briefly. the position OF the s"a;or
senator. statesman and sentine on
/ the-watch-tOwer is that education is
not an essential Of good citizenship
and that many brave patriots in the
revolutionary war could not read;
that he would force the white children
into the schools if he could do so
( without forcing the negroes, but as
cOmpulsion must apply to the negroes
he would not compel education on the
part of the whites There is the meat
of Tillman's argument, and the inevi-
liable conclusion is that he is afraid of
the negro. afraid that the literate ne
/ gro will prevail against the literate
white, afraid that white supremacy"
cannot stand up and vindicate itself.
/ We have no such fears.
In a demagOgic appeal for ignorance
to be maintained this "statesman-sen-
tineT' charges patriots, earnest south
| loving, South Carolina-Ioving men and
women with "moOnshine,' "idiocy,'
criminality." This statesman" who
has never done one thing for the NOR
al, educational or material uplift Of
the real common people" about
whom he used to comfort upon the
| stump, throws himself as an obstruc-
| ton between unselfsh men and wO-
men, the patriots of the land, and
! those benighted and otherwise friend
| less whites who need the helping
hand of enlightenment to draw them
up.
1t is "idiotic" to believe that ne
groes can be kept from seeking liter
acy by abstaining from enacting
compulsory law. Their schools are
now crowded; the mothers and faith
ers are straining themselves to send
| their children to scnoOl; there are
twenty thousand more negroes than
whites attending schools, in spite Of
the greater number. greater conven-
fence and better equipment of the
! schools for the whites. We firmly be-
lieve that the public Haunting of op-
position to negroes learning to read
by Tillman and other politicians is di-
rectly responsible for sending into the
schools five times more negro children
than would be effected by a compul-
sorry law.
It is "criminality" of a low order to
decree that in order to insure the il
literacy of a negro child a white child
shall be bound by chains of ignorance
to the bottom rung of the ladder so
that a negro child may be handcuffed
to him.
The thought of perpetuating such a
plan is shameful. No statesman, no
patriot can contemplate its execution
without a shudder Of abhorrence.-

Hayti. Ma. Dec. II. 1908.

hayU, Ma, Dec IL, lSOS.
Hon. c. A. Crow, Congressman-elect,
Charlottesville, Mo-:
Dear Sir-I wish to call your atten-
ton TO the fact that the government
postofice department has been for
several months flooding the country
from Maine to California with circu-
lars, posters, prices, ETC.. for printing
envelopes, and the price is less than
home people could do the work for, to
say nothing of the cost of stock The
government price for business"
stock is s21.12 per 1000. The stamps
alone are worth $40, so the printing
Is done for the insignificant sum of
s1.12. being just l cent more than the
average country printer pays for 1000
envelopes of the same grade, so all
competition of home people is destroy
ed. the government virtually doing the
printing on 1000 envelopes for l cent.
'-fhe home price per 1000 runs from
s. to 81. but put it at So, and the gov
eminent does the same work for s ~.
I will request you and I will put
this letter in my paper and request
all other papers 10 use it, to look into
this matter and see what right the
postofice department has to engage
i'm commercial pursuits to the disad-
voutage of home people and home en-
terprises and at prices which certain
ly must mean very little or no gain
20 the government except to furnish
employment for government jobs that
might be dispensed with, and especial
w since the new ruling of the postof-
fee department is in many instances
working hardships upon the newspa'
pers of the country and makes it well
nigh impossible without months and
perhaps years of useless toll to start
a new paper and place it on a paying
basis.
The newspapers of our country
need to be fostered and encouraged
and should not be compelled to suffer
on account Of the great number of ad
vertising sheets and mail order
monthlies that a few months ago bur
dened the mails.
II is my opinion that tn act Of
March 5. 1879. should be repealed and
a new law should be enacted in its
stead and that the powers of the post
master general should be clearly de
fined and set forth in a way that news
papers could take the law and read il
and know what would be expected o
them.
In this connection l believe all pa
pers should be subject to pound rates
I'm their own county as well as out o
e. but that the 10 per cent. of sam
pie copies now allowed to be sent GU
should be made % per cent. in tn,
home county and so per cent. at tn,
home postofice and that publisher
be allowed TO furnish free papers I,
ministers. churches. schools, hospitals
asylumS. etc. and also to furnish on
paper as proof TO advertisers and mai
10 intimate friends and relatives.
Yours truly.

SOIL PREPARATION

A thorough preparation of the coil
is necessary TO produce the largest
crop Of any kind. Whatever crop is
to be grown, the main point is TO get
the soil in the best possible condition
for a good seed-bed. Such preparation
retains the soil moisture, and puts the
soil into the proper physical condition
for the growth of roots. The thorough
preparation Of the seed-5ed reduces
the cost of cultivation during the
growth of the crop by at least one
half.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1909-02-12
Early Flowing

During the spring planting season
the ground is usually dry. The past
two seasons, for instance. have been
too dry for good termination, except
ing where the land was prepared ear
~. Hence it is necessary to till the
soil early so as to retain a large per
centakG of the moisture which was
received during the fall and winter.
A large amount of moisture can be
kept in the soil for a considerable
time by proper preparation and later
cultivation. We should pillow early in
the winter (say, in january, and if
there is much grass or weeds on the
ground the blowing should be deep
enough to bury everything out of
sight.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1909-02-12

Our best farmers have learned from
experience that it is better to pillow
up the whole field; for listing between
the old rows and leaving the middles
to be broken out later puts the land in
the worst possible shape for retaining
the moisture which is already there,
and also, for absorbing any rain that
may fall.
Preventing Waste of Fertilizer
1t is we'll known that we often lose
from so to IS per cent. of the value
of the fertilizer by not having the soil
( in proper condition at the time of
/ planting. BY thorough preparation of
the soil We not only save a large part
of the fertilizer we apply each year,
! but at the same time we bring about
such conditions as tend to hasten
plant growth. We also increase the
water-holding capacity of the soil by
adding organic material to it, through
blowing under the remains of plants
] AClN OlA NuC Aolllu ny luC plCNlOuo ClOp.
A soil may contain enough available
plant food to produce a heavy crop;
! but may be so wanting in humus that
it cannot hold moisture enough to ger
inmate the seed we'll, or to make a
satisfactory growth of the crop.
The Advantages of Early Flowing
When the land is prepared early in
the season more time is given for the
raw soil to weather, and for all trash
and weeds plowed under to decay. A
better seed-bed is assured. for more
time can be given to the work. and
the soil also has time to settle and be-
come firm enough to establish capil
larity between the subsoil and the
! plowed soil, so as TO insure sufficient
moisture in the seed-bed for germina
ton and TO tide the growing crop over
long dry period.-John NJ. CcOtt, oil
