that the hens do not pan out they figured on
paper.
Then, too, nine out of ten men who are far
mers, who come to the South, make the mistake
of ignoring cotton tobacco that may be the
money crops in the section where they locate,
and the men who do this in any section are apt
to fail. In every section of the country certain
crops have become the great money crops Of the
sections because Of natural conditions that have
made them so, and the newcomer will always do
we'll to study these conditions, and endeavor in
his farming to improve on the methods of Guilt
walton instead of abandoning the crops.
But the city man going to the country with the
notion that any man can be farmer will find
that it is business in which both education and
practical experience are essential, and while he
may make successful farmer after while. his
education will be costly one. One wealthy man
all over the world. and spending great deal OF
his life club man, he has determined to be
a farmer when nearly so years of age. and has
entered four-year student at the Pennsyl-
vania Agricultural College, and is now in his sec
und year there. He is abundantly able to buy
all the farms he wants. but he wisely concluded
that he had better learn how to farm through
study and practical work on the college farm, SO
that when he buys a farm he will have definite
notion OF how that farm should be managed to
improve it. He has the advantage of the ordi-
nary student at agricultural college in the fact
that he has already broad university education
and has travelled and observed the farming in
all parts Of the world, and can devote his whole
time to the study of farming in practical way.

PLANES IN THRILLING RACE
Baldwin and Hamilton Finish on
Even Terms at Garden City.

Garden City, Long Island, Aug "a
Captain Ba ldwin and Charles K. Hamilton
had a thrilling race for seven laps about
the mile course on the aviation grounds
here this evening, and when the last quar-
ter mile had been finished both men were
SO close together that no decision was given.
Baldwin's Red Devil was the speedier
biplane but the Curtiss driven by Haml-
ron was so cleverly handled at the turns
that gains were made at this point to off
set the losses in the long stretches, where
the Baldwin machine did the better work.
At the beginning of the fifth lap both
machines were flying low, when suddenly
Hamilton elevated his front control and
sent his machine fully three hundred feet
above Baldwin. In front of the grand
stand both men were even, and then Bald
win came down. and the next instant Ham
ilton's machine shot TO the ground like a
hawk.
Hamilton then went up TO an altitude of
eight hundred feet, and from this height
he made hair raising dive When within
three feet of the ground he rose in the air
again and made another mile lap before
coming TO the ground.

Upon payment of the alimony due UP to
the time of the application to open the de-
fault and the costs awarded in the judg-
ment for separation" he said, 1.-THE motion
TO punish for contempt will be denied and
the defendants default will be opened and he
allowed to serve an answer. If those terms
are not complied with within twenty days
from the entry of orders herein, the motion
to open the default will be denied and the
motion to punish for contempt granted"
