A COTTON PICKING MACHINE IN
VENTED.
VENTED.

Mr.. T. D. Murphy, in the Augusta
Chronicle of last Saturday, has this
to say of the invention of the cotton
picker which will be read with inter-
est by the farmers of Washington,
which is one Of the largest cotton pro-
ducing counties in the State:
Business men, capitalists, machin-
lists and others who have acquaint-
ed themselves with the cotton picker
invented by Mr.. Harry E. Foucher,
confidently believe that Mr.. Foucher
las hit it sure.
Gentlemen who have examined
the invention and who have seen it
work, in a preliminary way, declare
that it is a success without qualifica-
ton.
"Mr. Foucher has been very care
full about his patents, and has we'll
protected himself in this regard. He
has friends upon friends in Augusta,
who will be gratified at his success.
1t has been said for years that sooner
or later electricity would revolution
ize cotton picking, ginning and bal
ing. If Mr.. Foucher has gotten it.
Oh the cotton picking his great repu-
tation and fortune are made. San

PARCELS POST.

We are in favor of the parcels post
system. The farmers should all be
IN favor of it, says the Equity Farm
Journal.
There are two classes of persons
who oppose it. The merchant. They
do not strongly oppose it, but do so
feebly, from doubt as to whether it
will not affect them unfavorably.
There are some reasons why it will
affect them unfavorably, and some
reasons why it will be benefit. 1t
is doubtful if it affects them sufficient
to warrant a two-cent stamp outlay
to register a kick. Second, the ex-
press companies oppose it tooth and
toe-nail. They are making millions
and millions every year from their
express monopolies and they will
spend millions in newspaper opposi-
ton, alleging injustice to others, but
never a word as to the benefits to
themselves if they can succeed in
killing the measure. We should de-
mand the parcels post and not stop
till we get it.

What Our Farmers Are Saying

gestion to predict that the time may
be almost upon us when farming must
be done almost exclusively by the
white man? Should such be the case,
we have a startling complication to
the negro and the labor problem in
the South A series of articles now
running in this publication deal with
the negro as a free farmer, and show
that the negro has failed. These ar
ticles portray the inferior race as in
capable at present Of graphing with
even the simpler problems of self
support 1t may then be asked: If
the negro has difficulty in changing
from the double shovel pulled by one
mule to the walking double cult
vator drawn by team, how can we
lens of an age when intensified agri-
culture must obtain to meet the de-
mands Of a civilization growing ever
more complex?
1t cannot be denied that the call of
the new agriculture puts a strain
upon large portion of our whites
and that many of them must drop
from the occupation and join the
ranks Of Wage-WOrkers in cities.
What then of the ignorant negro
whose mental plane is far below that
OF the "po' white trash of other
days, who has almost exhausted the
fertility of his soils and who cannot
successfully raise even staple crops?
Negroes, aware of their inability
to exist on the plantations, have been
leaving in numbers during the last
decade or two. Negro farm labor is
hard to obtain, and unsatisfactory
when obtained. The advance of the
South depends, in a large measure,
upon improving our agriculture.
Farm labor in the South proper, is
done mostly by negroes. Today this
kind of farming is cumbersome and
ancient. Comes the question: Can
the negro be taught? Comes the re-
tort: Have we time to wait?
Progress must be delayed if we
teach the negro to farm. What be-
comes of the negro if we dispense
with him?
The question is a complicated one
and the development of the next few
years may make it even more so.

men engaged about the premises.
Epidemics of scarlet fever have been
traced to this source.
A quart of milk is said to be equal
in nutrition to pound of beefsteak.
1t is also said to be equal to two
pounds of bread. A pound of steak
costs anywhere from ten to thirty
cents, according to the cut and the
market. Two pounds of bread cost
usually from ten to twelve cents.
Why should milk sell for less than
bread or beefsteak?
Milk and cream take up odors and
taints from unclean vessels in which
they may be placed, or from any sub
stance emitting an OdOr. They are
easily spoiled and made unwhole-
some for food if any dirt or filth gets
into them, or if they are covered up
light so that the fresh air does not
get to them to remove the odors and
gases which may be forming in them.
Good butter contains from twelve
to fifteen per cent of water. Some
butter makers try to increase the
weight by increasing the moisture
content. This method is not honest
and it is not good policy. Such work is
characterized as fraudulent. At
tempts are being made to regulate it
by law, in fact, some authorities claim
that the pure food law as it now
stands covers it.-From DAIRY
Notes., in the Agricultural Epitom-
list.

ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used by
Scotch Troops at the Battle of
Bannockburn.

The greatest of all Scotch anniver.
saries is that of Bannocburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914.
Apart from its bearing on the indie
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interest
from the military point of view, as
Bannockburn may be said TO have
been the birthplace of the British
square. Proud Edwards" army
mainly consisted of cavalry, while
that of the Scots, on the other hand.
was almost exclusively composed of
foot-folk, armed with the spear, and

Hitherto the mounted mail-clad
knight had carried everything before

proved that he was powerless to

formation, and these two battles revo-
lutionized the tactics of the continent
and of our own island. Profiting by
the lesson which had been taught

INDIANS WERE DESTROYED
White Man Coveted Land of Onas
for Sheep and Used
Treachery.

In his article on his adventures
among the Ona Indians of TERRA del
F'uega in Harper's for August, Charles
w. Furlong charges the white colon
lists with having wantonly destroyed
this once strong race
LESS than three decades ago the
primitive inhabitants, the Ona lndi'
ans, lived, hunted and fought from An:
agarda point in Magellan strait to
Beagle channel -Id0
Had the whole island been like
the southern half to-day the Onas, in
all probability. would be in control
of practically all of their original do
half, the world would undoubtedly
look upon the hunting grounds of an
extinct race. aAs it is, within less than
thirty years the Onas have shrunk
from perhaps 1900 to 800, and all be-
cause they possessed land the white
man coveted for his sheep, and had
Unborn courage and ferocity strong
enough to oppose him.
with the establishment of the first
sheep range, in the early sos, began a
cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of the white man.. In. reprisal
for the land from which he was driv.
en-, the Ona raided the range at night
for the white guanaco,' as he called
the strange animal, the sheep, which
he found not only easily captured,
but sweeter and more tender to the
taste than the wild guanecos of his
island
These raids were so persistent and
assumed such magnitude that ii really
became case of Indian or sheep, and
the scattered settlers with their rang
ers began a warfare of determination
in which hirelings were engaged and
the 'chunkies' shot on sight. Occa-
sionally a large number with their
women and children were rounded up
and shipped to Dawson island, where
tuberculosis-infecte quarters soon ac-
complished their work II being a
case primarily of bullets against ar.
rows in an open country, the result
was obvious. In treachery the white
man outdid the Indian. He invariably
took him at disadvantage and played
false with his truce, even resorting to
poisoning one of the Ona's main food
supplies, the blubber of stranded
whale"

Christian Missionary Had Little Show
In Argument with Native
Mollah.

As medical missionary, stationed
for 16 years in northwestern India,

adventure, which he has recounted in
volume entitled, Among the Wild
Tribes of the Afghan Border"
AS a medical man, DR.. Pencil had
his ups and downs with the native
doctors, who sweat their patients and
burn sores with lighted oil, but have
no faith in western treatment. They
also bleed and purge; but gradually
the new-fangled treatment was ac-
cepted, and grateful converts were
made at the Bannu dispensary.
LAS a missionary. DR.. Pennell had
TO contend with the mollahs. who are
argurnentative and great browbeaters;
and very often. he confesses, he got
the worst of ii by verdict of the
ragged crowd that hemmed in the
theologians.

rival, DIR. Pencil had AN amusing en-
counter. fn

are under the earth, and that the sun
passes down every night, and there
fore comes up blazing hot in the
morning"
All DR.. Pencils accounts of natural
phenomena were ridiculed by the mol

voice:
