BITTER WAR ON lNrEMPERANCE

Why Smith Sold out His Saloon.


'I hear that Smith has just sold
out his saloon,..' said one of a couple
of middle-aged men who sat slipping
their beer and eating bit of cheese
In an American saloon.

slowly.
What Is the reason? l thought

The other nibbled a cracker alb

afternoon and found his wife out
shopping, he went through the house

an apple tree were his three boys

bottles and tumblers. and we're play.

they were drinking something out Of
a pail, and that they acted tipsy. The
youngest. who was behind the bar
had a towel tied around his waist, and
was setting the drinks up pretty
freely.
Smith walked over and looked in
the pail. 1t was beer, and two of che
boys were so drunk that they stag
gered. A neighbor's boy. two years
older, lay asleep behind the tree.

Smith poured out the beer, carried

Waiting For the Vision.

H. Isabel Graham has written a
beautiful story In the form of a le-
gend of a monk who knelt continually
in his cell and prayed to be fashioned
into the likeness of the cross He
had made VOW that none should see
his face until he had looked upon the
face of Christ. So his devotions were
unbroken. The birds sang by his
cell window and the children played
without, but the monk needed not
either the children or the birds--in
the absorption of his soul in it's pas
sion for the Christ, he was oblivious
to all earthly things. One morning
ne seemed to hear spirit-voice say
ing that his prayer to see the Blessed
One sho be answered that day. He
was very glad, and made special pre-.
parations for the coming of the Wis.
ion. There was a gentle knocking at
his door by and by, and the voice of e
child was heard pleading to be fed
and taken in. Her feet were cold, her
clothing was thin. But the monk
was SO intent on the coming of the
vision that he could not pause to min.
ister to any human needs. Evening
drew on, the place became dreary, the
tapers burned low. Why was the
vision so long in appearing? Then
with bitter grief he heard the answer
that the vision had already come, had
fingered at his door. and then, un-
welcomed, had sobbed and turned
away. Jesus had come in the little

and called, and waited, and grieved.

he had not recognized it, and re.

CORN IN M1ssIssIpPr.

The Mississippi agent of the bureau
of statistics makes the following COM
ment in regard to the corn crop of that
state:
Mississippi will this year make the
largest corn crop in the history of the
state-or within my knowledge at least.
The crop is made and largely gathered
and the yield will be large. In many
sections on small acreages, more than
100 measured bushels per acre have been
gathered. For the first time considerable
corn will be shipped from the county
in which ii was made. Recently parties
went before the railroad commission In
this state and asked for and received
rates on corn to elevators. etc. Here
tofore there was so little corn made
for shipping that the rates were never
asked for.

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT
SOME INFLUENCES AFFECTING
FERTILITY OF THE SOIL

OF our soils is such that the use of
even a moderate amount Of lime Will
sometimes surprise the owner at the IN
creased yields secured. Lime should
OF course, be applied only on the sur
face and worked in with a harrow. Its
tendency is always downward, and,
therefore, blowing IL in is an error
OF the other matters which must re-
ceive attention in developing any per-
manent system Of agriculture, green
crops or yard manures will always oc-
cupy an important place. Yard manure
is preferable to anything else for the
Improvement Of the humus supply of
the soil because il is a by-product Of
animal life. 1t is clearly evident, how
ever. that enough animals cannot be
maintained to improve our lands through
the use Of yard manure. The other al
tentative, therefore, is to use green le-
guminous crops and pillow them under
from time to time. 1t will not always
be necessary to pillow them down since
portion Of them may be grazed off,
and after a while, the soil will accumu-
late a sufficient amount of vegetable
matter TO meet all the needs of the
plants grown on il, but in the meantime
it is the cheap and efficient method for
non-animal husbandry sections of the
country. While drainage and lining
are essential, vegetable matter is also,
and il is equally useless to correct the
other two conditions and fail to supply
the needed amount Of vegetable matter.
Vegetable matter furnishes the essen
tiaI food to plants, and when supplied
by legumes, the greater part OF the nj
trogen needed in the successful produc-
ton of all farm crops.
The last matter to be considered is
the permanent balance of the soil food
supply through the use of such COM
mercial forms of plant food as the land
may be definitely deficient In. Some
nitrogen may need to be used from time
to time, and probably this condition will
continue for an indefinite period. The
greater part of this element, however,
may be supplied through manures and
green crops. here is also an almost
universal deficiency in the soils of the
south with regard to phosphoric acid,
and in many localities, to potash as we'll.
These two elements can only be added
in a commercial form. AS a rule, If
purchased in the most concentrated con-
dition possible and applied in liberal
amounts, the best results will follow
II is true that the pIowing under or
green crops and the use of lime Will
tend to set free the stores of these ele-
ments already contained in the land, but
IL will be poor practice to follow such
methods as TIE day must eventually
come when the natural store will be re-
duced beyond the condition needed to
maintain a proper equilibrium in the
food supplies of the soil. The intelli-
gent and systematic use of commercial
plant food becomes, therefore, an essen
tial factor in the development of any
profitable and permanent type of agri-
culture.

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

1t is a waste of fertility to allow the
pigs to run in one yard or on one field
for years at a time without changing
them.
Corn and water are the best fattening
foods although a feed of roots once or
twice week will give them keener ap-
petite and keep their bowels in excellent
condition.
After the pigs have been put into the
fattening pm in the fall they should be
fed all that they will eat with a relish
for as a rule the shorter the fattening
period the larger the profits.
AS a rule 1t will not pay to hold the pig
crop for prices to rise unless they are
making good gains all of the time they
are being held. When few feeders win
out in playing the market game, many
lose out.
There is little sentiment connected with
feeding a bunch of hogs and few of. US
would be in the business were it not
for the profits which it should afford.
With cheap corn and other grains any
man who could buy few pigs and finish
them for market could make a little prof
it, but it requires skill and ability to
grow pigs and fatten them on 6O-cent
corn and make a reasonable profit.

To insure pure milk, free from i'm

in every part of the dairy from the
barnyard and stables to the bottling of
the milk. Absolute cleanliness is es-

Iron milking stools are recommended
and they should be kept scrupulously
clean. OF the several stools shown
herewith, No. 1 is the easiest to keep
clean, therefore the most desirable.
No. is a good type of sanitary stool

used for the legs are filled with lead,
and there are no corners to collect dirt.
