The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-07-30

Il return to the custom of rails
ing all supplies at home. This sec
ton to-day is being impoverished by
departing from that ante-bellum
rule. As soon as every farmer learns
that it is as cheap to raise table sup
plies as it is to cultivate market
crops to sell in order to buy the
same supplies, the South will at
once become visibly richer. All pro-
ducts are fresher and better that we
raise than those purchased at the
grocers, or the town market.
There is much said and written
about the betterment of public
schools. rural Libraries and good
roads-all of which are excellent en-
terprises and highly essential-but
none has yet appeared to propose
organizing club for the encourage
ment OF home-raised products. The
man or woman who begins to band
together the mistresses of farm
homes and their daughters. requir-
ing n pledge that they will exert
their strongest influence and ener-
gies to return to the old custom of
raising all food products at their
own homes. will indeed confer an
immense blessing on the country in
general. In this age OF adulterated
foods we never know what we are
eating when our -four, meal, meat,
etc, come from some distant portion
OF the Union. but we do know when
we raise such articles under our own
hands and eyes.

Preserve the Old Homes and the Old
Furniture.
Bishop w. A. Gambler was right
when he advocated the retention of
old things, old ideas. We can be
progressive and at the same time can
cultivate and reverence the elevating
traditions that distinguish us from
our fellow countrymen. The follow
ing quotation from an article by
Bishop Gambler, published some
months ego, is full of wisdom:
''The South, especially, possess
es certain characteristics which
should be perpetuated at all

value to the Republic, and they

erue.ome Charm Worked Well.

Charms as cures for sickness were
common in England century ago.
Lady Wake, who was born in 1900,
tells of a gruesome cure adopted for
the removal of some birthmarks
which disfigured her face. Her mother
was persuaded that "a dead mans
hand laid upon my cheek and hands
would effectually remove the marks"
she writes. "As man could not be
killed for the occasion, it was neces-
sary to wait till some one died. An
old man at last did die in one of the
nearest cottages and l was taken
there In my sleep. remember, after
ward being constantly stopped by the
widow, who always examined my
cheek in order to ascertain the state
of her husbands body. as the marks
she told my nurse, would certainly
fade away as he turned into dust.
Whatever the cause of the cure, the
marks in time disappeared"
