We were met by a detachment of the
Bokhart, or sultans bodyguard, wait
ing to conduct US through the terri
tory of the then warlike Benz Hasson
tribe.
AS we had received permission from
his Sharifian majesty to visit Fee, we
were practically his guests, and he was
responsible for our safe conduct dur
ing our journey thither and return
While no serious danger menaeed,
there were often detachments OF ma
rauding parties ready to stampede and
run off with our stock and possibly
take some of our party prisoners to
hold for a ransom. However, we now,
with the augmentation OF the Bokhari,
felt perfectly secure and performed our
additions leisurely in the anticipation
of much more pretentious dinner
than any our hurried trip from EI
AralSh, via Alcazar, had permitted.
This we were assured by the appear
ance of Bully Boy" who reported that
the mona" was varied and liberal. and
that he had ordered the cooks to pre-
pare a grand feast for his excellency,
the Bashador," by which distinguished
title l was designated
The mona" of which Bully Boy"
spoke, is an involuntary contribution
from the natives for the maintenance
OF the sultan's guests while passing
through their domain, and consists,
generally, of mutton, fowl, eggs, but

der for the animals. 1t sounds like
very friendly and hospitable custom on
their part. but II reality 1t is a great
hardship
With these fresh additions 10 our

SMALLPOX IN THE COUNTY.
Everyone Who Has Not Done So
Should Vaccinate at Once.

There Is said to be quite a number
or cases of smallpox around the Ell
llot section of Lee county. There
has been smallpox in that section for
months. A lady in Eliotts has a case
of that disease now. There are
number of individuals in Sumter who
nave never been vaccinated, although
the number is comparatively SMALL
Ihen there are many who have not
been revaccinated within from six
to ten years. The city health officer
urges all who have never been and
particularly those who will not have
their children vaccinated to have this
done without delay.
There is practically no quarantine

legumes on account Of it's growth and
its root system.
The seed is cheaper than soy beans
or cowpeas, as / bushel will be suffi-
c'ent TO plant or acres. For build
ing up very poor soils it ranks first
among legumes both as to cost and
efficiency.
PEANUTS.
The value of peanuts as a hay and
food crop has never been appreciated.
The peanut will grow on the larger
portion of the uplands of the South.
AS crop for varied uses nothing ex-
cells it. 1t can be made profitable
when nuts are grown for market, and
IL has been found to produce more
and cheaper pork than any other
crop. When used as hay for horses
or cattle the vines and nuts are pull
ed up and cured together. In this
shape they are relished by all kinds
OF stock, and as they are highly nu-
tritious they can be utilized in place
of more expensive grains to a large
extent.
Peanuts should not be planted until
warm spring weather. Plant on a
well-prepared soil, in rows 3 feet
apart and IL inches apart in drill for
the Spanish variety and a greater dis
tance for larger varieties. The Span
ish Is preferred for feeding purposes.
The peanut, like the other plants
mentioned, Is soil improver, and ev-
cry farmer should look with more ia
vor on its place among the farm
crops.
ALL CORN AND HAY SHOULD BE
GROWN ON THE FARM.
With the splendid records of corn
produced per acre in the Southern
States, and with our advantages in
climate and so many valuable forage
crops to supplement grains for feed
ing to stock, it is discredit for any
farmer to buy corn or hay except in
rare cases Of misfortune.

A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby
proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. a Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was. at first. attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but. in reality. the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. | suggested that my wife
trv him on Grape Nuts. She soaked
two teasponfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This
babv ate so ravenously that she fixed
q second which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he
forgot all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape Nuts Today the boy is strong
and robust. and as cute mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him SO much good-his old
friend Grape Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish
for my wife and l can never praise
Grape Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to our household"
Grape Nuts is not made for baby
food. but experience with thousands OF
babies shows it to be among the best
if not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation OF Natures
grains. it is equally effective as body
and brain builder for grown-ups.
