This is probably my last trip with

Santa TO Griswold this morning, al
though | shall stop frequently tomor-
row night to replenish my packs,
when in this neighborhood. am
very well pleased with the way you
have conducted your business.
Strange that every merchant cannot
see that the only way to build up a
substantial trade is by honest dealing
with the people.
/ have brought in for you lot of
.hings that are not always thought OF
.or Christmas Gifts but which are all
he more acceptable because Of that
fact. For instance, Tom has a violin,
set of nice new strings, bow or
case for IL would delight him.
II Dick has a Shot Gun, perhaps he
has no Case for 10, or would like a
box OF Mixed Shells. a Shell Belt, or
Hunting Coat Harry may be a lit
tie shaver but he would become a
bigger one II he had a Safety Razor
or good Pocket Knife II peo-
pie are superstitiOus about giving
sharp instruments, tell them they can
overcome the danger Of cutting
friendship by having the recipient
count three. while the donor sets on
the point of a tack Il is necessary
however. that one must have head
enough to count up TO three without
mistake, while the one with the
tack must see the point as well as
feel Il.
Foot Balls. Striking Bags. Boxing
Gloves. Dumb Bells, Indian Clubs and
that class OF goods make splendid
gifts. Viollns, Guitars, Harmonious,
Accordons, Photographs. come with
in the range of everybodys pocket
book and taste. Girls seem TO take
TO Violin and beaux without coaxing
but Il has always seemed strange to
me that with their sweet, thin lips,
especially adapted to playing the
Flute. that they do not learn TO play
that sweetest OF all instruments.

Rhubarb is grown very little In
the South. and is not very success

the heat during the summer. Some
years 1t produces good crop while
in others 1t dies out without growing

ing of rhubarb, except on a very
small scale in the family garden. The
seed can be secured from any seeds

after danger OF frost is past. After

the crowns and plant in the perma-

WHAT A WESTERN FARMER SAW
IN MISSISSIPPI.
How Good Farming Will Make the
Delta Section One of the Richest
Parts Of America.


Parts Of America.
Telling of recent visit to the
Delta section of Mississippi, Joseph
f. Wing, writes as follows in the
Breeders Gazette:
cat Stoneville there met us two
young men with big automobiles,
ALI. Stone and J. II. Fort and Capt.
Stone the father They whirled us
over to Dunleith Plantation. There
we saw things that were most pleas
ing. Let me briefly recount them.
No weeds, for one thing. bitches
neatly cleaned out, ready for any
amount of rain that may come. Miles
and miles Of roads as fine as one
sees in city parks, nicely kept with
modified King drag There is no
gravel anywhere in that region they
have proved that nearly perfect
roads can be had without gravel
After nearly every rain the drag
comes out, a man and strong mule
team take it in hand and the road is
gone over. once on one side, once on
the other. We could have ridden 40
miles to the hour over those roads
Once these roads were impossible,
remarked Mr.. Stone. We never
went anywhere in winter except on
horseback. A team OF good mules
was needed to draw a light buggy
Now they are good the year around.
1t is cheaper to have them good.
very much cheaper
I'VE went to see the alfalfa. Every
one who aspires to be sure enough
Farmer has alfalfa nowadays. II
was absolutely beautiful, sown last
fall. Here is the field that l value
most, said Mr.. Stone. Here is field
that failed. 1t was small, sickly
run over with grass. Ninety-nine
men out of a hundred would have
destroyed 1t in disgust. / hauled in
oculated soil instead and spread over
it; then | narrowed it well. The
miracle happened
Then we drove down to see a
neighbours alfalfa. 1t had not been
inoculated. 1t happened to be on
soil needing that. The alfalfa was
no more than six inches high and
very sickly looking. A few small
spots were good, there we found
nodules, elsewhere we found none
The man was in despair but wher
Mr.. Fort told him to come over ant
help himself to inoculating earth
and harrow 1t in he took heart. Il
is fascinating to see men gettinf
hold OF these truths everywhere
These Delta soils have usually &
good deal of lime in them.
II wish7I could rightly describe
such plantation as that. The neat
ness and order of it, the miles o
fields, the neat cabins, whitewashed
the gaunt skeletons of trees herr
and there where new clearings wer'
(they say you cannot afford to sci
} timber, that II is cheaper yet to dead
; en- and burn giant trees here), AM
: last the homes of Mr.. Fort and Mr.
! Stone. A good ways apart they are
, I imagine each one has his own sec
ton of the country to look after.
