the weather and ground viii permit for

"Mr. Smith has n big pen of hogs,
which he will butcher as soon as the
weather will suit for saving meat. He
makes about n bale of cotton TO the
acre on some of the land that was con-
sidered worn out when he went on the
farm; also from thirty to forty bushels
of corn to the acre. He then cuts a fine
crop of peavine hay off of the same land,
blowing the pea stubble under, giving
it a good coat of fertilizer. Mr.. Smith
also raises a good sweet potato crop,
making from $50 to 400 bushels per acre,
worth rs cents per bushel. He also
raises large sugar cane crops, yielding
from 800 to 400 gallons of the finest
syrup per acre, for table use. The mo-
lasses grown here is the finest in the
country, being grown on a light sandy
loan.
"NIr. Smith has bought his own stock
to cultivate the farm, and has bought
other tracts of land near his farm, which
he will get ready for use for next year.
He keeps a large stock of fine hogs in
his pasture; he raises all his meat and
bread at home, and has a good lot OF
mich COWS about his place and plenty
of corn, molasses, meat, lard and sweet
potatoes to run him for next year. Tie
says he intends making forty bales Of
cotton and plenty of corn, meat and mo-
lasses and potatoes"

The Legislature in Session.

The second session of the Mississippi
Legislature is grinding away at the pres
ent time, dispatching the business be-
fore it. 1t is generally believed that
about sixty days will be necessary to
get through with the business. The mem
bers express themselves as anxious to
expedite matters as fast as possible, Civ
ing to each the time and attention that
its Importance demands, and get back
home.
A number of measures of Importance
to the agricultural, horticultural and
live stock interests of the state are be-
ing considered. Let it be hoped that all
worthy ones will be enacted into laws.
If as much favorable legislation to these
interests is enacted at this session as at
the last one, the farmers will have lit
tie or no cause to complain.

A ChiId's Development.

The development of a child's char
acter should not be left to the mother
alone. 1t needs the directing influence
OF the mother, the strengthening in
f1uence of the father. Often a child's
nature, possibilities and growth are
unknown and unmatched by his father.
1t is something he does not under
stand, because he does not study 1t.

Worth Emulating.

The following from Alderman, Miss,
is a good record for an aged veteran and
a small boy:
The farmers of this country can profit
by the example set by w. C. Coleman,
who lives three miles south of town.
He is living on a place lie settled when
he first came to this country, and which
would be considered by some as worn
out. Mr.. Coleman is a Confederate vet
eran, and is &C years of age, and while
this year was one of the worst for farm
ers in years, he, with the help of a L.
year-old boy, made and gathered three
bales of cotton and $50 bushels of corn
and other things in proportion. While
other farmers with richer lands are ship
ping corn in here from the Northwest,
Mr.. Coleman has it to sell. He works
each year to build up his land, looks
after the bitches and saves all his ma
nures, and ives at home. Mr.. Coleman,
one day this week, killed a hog that
weighed 488 pounds, and has two young
mules to place on exhibition here on
Trades Day, which takes place IN the
18th. What this old gentleman has lone
this year, others could do each and every
year"

Several serious violations Of the law
have taken place in Mississippi during
the past few weeks, and if a thorough
search was made as to starting point Of
each affair, it would no doubt be found
in some slight infarction in the past that
little or no attention was paid to. Slack
enforcement and the belief that able law
yers and plenty of money can clear the
criminal are responsible for the greater
portion of the crimes committed in our
State.
the Importance of this matter demands
the attention of every man who would
see his county prosper and the sanctity
of his home protected. Small infractions
allowed to pass by are succeeded by
more serious ones. Teach it to the chill
dren and preach it to the older people,
that the law is supreme and must be
obeyed. The future prosperity and
greatness Of Mississippi depends more
upon this than anything else.

The legislative committee of the
Farmers Union could no doubt secure
some valuable pointers by watching tho
tactics of corporations when their inter-
ests are in jeopardy. Every interest
heretofore has had representatives at
legislative sessions to look after them,
but not so the farmer. The Union real
lied this necessity and had such a COM
mittee two years ago and another for
the present session. To this can be at
tributed a goodly portion of the favor
able laws enacted last session. The legis-
lator will generally do his best for the
agricultural interests if he knows what
is for the best. There is still work for
the committee, and it should by all
means get busy and perform the duties
for which it was named.

Is practically agreed, to all outward

there will be no revision this season.
There are numerous reasons why this

Payne-Aldrich bill this winter, and
that reason alone is sufficient to pre-.
vent legislation.

of the man who finds fire in the for
est is to put it out. Scotch knew
this as well as any one-many an
incipient fire had he put out with

given. This spring Scotch paid a

fate would have it, he arrived just
at the moment when the men had

His vigilant eye detected the smoke

The Effect of the New Florida Rail
road.

February 1, 1910, witnessed the
.consumation of the greatest con-
structive work achieved by any one
man in the history of the nation,
and evidenced in a most striking
way the triumph of Yankee genius
in solving the great problem of eX-
plotting American trade, carrying
cargoes all over the earth-sailing
vessels and running trains in appar
emily impossible places. The devel-
opment of a country follows in the
wake of its railroads. civilization
strides side by side with the gangs
that lay the ties. This splendid
route bridging the Florida Keys
each hundred miles of railway being
accounted equal to a thousand miles
by ships the greatest timesaver in
transit that has yet been evolved.
The new railroad will do more
than merely save time; it will solve
what has been declared by Senator
Root to be the twentieth century
problem of the American nation
the acquisition of South American
trade. The Representatives of the
South American republics made a
trip to Cuba over this Florida East
Coast railway and as they wheeled in
comfort over the waters of the gulf,
they realized that each one of the
21 republics of the southland had
suddenly been brought thousands of
miles nearer the United States.
Few people realize that Key West,
the terminal point of. the new road,
is 400 miles nearer to Panama than
New Orleans or Galveston. The
great rail traffic of the Mississippi
river is certain to converge in Flor
ida, which hangs out like a Christ
mas stocking from the map of the
United States. The toe of that stock
ing is Key West, the terminal which
brings the whole western coast of
South America, the Orient and Aus
tralia into closer proximity to the
markets of the United States. Bear
ing these facts in mind. Mr.. Flagler
has courageously pushed his opera
tions through the jungle of Florida,
opening a thoroughfare from one
continent to the other in the process,
and It might seem now almost as a
side issue of this tremendous plan,
promoting the development of the
fairy state that he loves.-National
Magazine.

HOW to Fight the Fly.

What are we going to do about
it? Are we going to wake up to the
fact that all this can and shall be
stopped? With a full realization Of
what it means we should certainly
take care of your own nuisances and
see that our neighbor does the same.
In hospitals and at home flies
should be kept away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases.
We should abolish open privies
and properly dispose of our sewage
and other waste products.
Our sanitary inspectors in cities
should be instructed to first disln-
feet and then remove all exposed
filth wherever found.
Stable manure should be thorough
ly screened or kept in tight dark re-
ceptacles and removed at regular in
tervals.
Laws should be passed, in all our
States, as they have been recently
passed in several, requiring the thor
ough screening of all public kitchens,
restaurants and dining-rooms. All
food, particularly that which is eaten
uncooked, exposed 70 sale during the
fly season, should be screened. The
same care should be taken with all
food in the home. Dealers who al
low their food products to be ex-
posed to flies should be carefully
avoided.
BY vigorously follo&ing these pre-
cautions much can be done toward
removing the conditions which bred
the house-fly. thus helping material
ly in the determination of one of the
most dangerous pests in the world.
