Opinion

CRATE This fire was the center of the
home sociability. Frc~l it radiated the
warmth of the welcomei about It gath
cred host and guest; its bright blaze
symbolized the sparkle of the conversa-
ton; it's mellow glow typihed the rehec-
tive moments and its dying embers
marked the hour of departure
Such a picture can be seen I'm too few
homes OF to-day. Here and there is a
fireplace but the habits of the present
generation are such as TO preclude any
possibility Of visit for the interchange
OF opinion. Calls, even when informal,
are usually matters of fact There is
the nervous Goth century attitude of get
ting through with it as quickly as pos
sible. and on to thhe next duty.

with its passing goes the feeling Of home
coziness. As a piece OF architecture, the
stove is unnecessary. As an article OF
necessity II has lost its raison d'etre.
The sweethearts Of former days could
sit and gaze into the fire, and see Cupid
dancing about in the blaze. Not so to-
day Cupid has become a matter-of-fac'
sort OF creature Life is worth living,
but with all the advantages. O. 'odern-
ism tAcre are certain memories Of days
Of old that apneal strongly to the ina i
nation. And one of these is the stove OF
our mothers and grandmothers.

GLAD DAYS IN SUSSEX.

III Apply and gladstone days are these in Sus-
Il n sex, according to the Sussex Republican,
and our contemporary may be excused for speak
ing OF them with pardonable pride. The rural
scenes and prospective crops are the center Of
attraction. Nature, says the Republican. seems
to have striven TO outdo herself and the farmers
imbued with like spirit, are paying more atten-
ton TO the preparation OF their soil for crops In
fact the farms looking brighter and better
than ever before.
Old Sussex is astir. There are so many fine
things seen in the picture painted by the Repub-
lican that it makes us envy the good people OF
that county. The strawberry vines are crowded
with growing berries and the peach trees are
hanging full Wheat fields give promise of a
substantial harvest The apple trees are like
bouquets OF green. There cherries plums,
grapes and growing vegetables galore, and even
the blackberries will be there in more than the
usual abundance.
The Republican thinks all this is enough to
stir the heart of even the callous and when it
looks at the material side of the picture it sees
plethoric purses and the distribution of large
sums among the wage earners. Good crops mean
plenty of money all around. That Sussex has
been getting the money the condition OF her
banks amply testihes.
The Republican says:
''Indeed, It's good to be alive and live in Sus-
sex county at this time. And we are only be-
ginning to grow. If you can Just let 90 of all this
about us long enough to look ahead into the
future, ten, twenty or thirty years and think
what we will then be at the rate we are going,
we will want to stay here and help push her
along.
IF with all this opportunity could only be
satisfied and inspired to wipe from the face of
our county all these things which arc holding us
back and degrading our lives, and determine to
do our part to make old Sussex the best place to
live in, such a spirit would revoutionze public
and private activity"
But what, pray, are the things holding Sussex
back and degrading the lives OF the people? By
all means get rid of them.
After reading this glowing picture Of Sussex,
we cannot refrain from remarking that Sussex
as a county should do something in the way of
material improvement-build new court house,
for instance.

"Ail modern improvements" is The
sign attached to every up-to-date apart
ment nowadays, and there are some ad-
vantages in these new-fangled notions
that everybody demands yet there IS a
pathstic side connected with this desire
for conveniences and luXuries In the
homes Of to-day.
II calls to mind that the very essence
OF the so-called home comiorts is lack-
ing in the hurly-burly existences we lead.
There are other things besides modern
improvements that go to make up
home one of these IS the sociability
and ole-heartedness found a few gem
erations ago. but now practically non
existent. This may be due in part to
better means of communication, which
makes whirlwind visits tolerant. whereas
in earlier days calls really meant some
thing.
Rural or urban life has lost many OF
the characteristics Of former decades
when visits. whether social or business
played a larger part in the life of the
citizen than they do to-day. When a
caller came to the house. he was first
offered refreshments and was then in

HELP FoR FAMILIES oF coNVIcTs.

0NE of the difficult phases in connection with
~ the prison problem is the destitution and
suffering that comes to the family dependant
upon the convicted man. During the time of
punishment Of the wrongdoer, his wife and chill
dren, if he is married, deprived of his sup
port ,rhe family as well as the man himself, is
punished
Realizing the injustice OF this, the city Of
Washington now provides that prisoners in the
city Jail or workhouse who have families shall
be allowed nominal wages for the work they do.
The amount thus earned by the prisoner is small
but it helps to keep want from the door of the
family. Indeed in all state prison work the
family dependant the convict should receive
at least part of the compensation for his labor.

WATERING THE MILK COWS
By Isaac Notes

Mich COWS need water frac,,Ant,r
during hot days, just as a man dos
BEST II he drinks a few SUBS of wato-
occasionally, before he gets var,
thirsty, rather than drink great s,utcss
once or twice during the day.
A COW requires water often to nron-
erly digest the food she eats 50 +,
is better to give it to her frnnD antIv
than In large quantities once or tyfce
a day.
II the pasture is provided with a
stream Of clear water running through
it, or a wind mill and well. the cows
will Of course take care of the water
problem to suit themselves and If Won
watch them long enough you will see
them drinking several times a day.
If there is no stream or wind mill,
and the Well or spring is not In the
pasture, try the following plan OF
watering them and watch the milk
returns and see If the labor involved
is not well paid for.
Take a number Of half barrels and
place them at convenient spots in the
pasture, sinking them into the ground
six or eight inches, under trees II
there is such shade.
If there are no trees then build on
the sunny side Of each barrel a lean
to shed to make a shade, high enough
to permit the COWS to come under and
drink.
Twice a day fill a barrel Or two with
water from your we'll or spring, place
them on a sled and fill up the pasture
barrels. See that the barrels are kept
clean, and do not allow The water to
remain in n of them long enough
TO get stagnant.
This makes extra work but if you
have no running water in Your pas
ture you will find it better to do TINS
than water your cows once or twice
a day, possibly at rnilkinS time. You
will get good returns for tn extra
work in the increased quantity OF
milk, and in the contented. pitcld
disposition of your COWS.

~rogress Of agricultural science. The
Edgecombe Test Farm is modelled on
this. Since special crops and specia
of soil can be applied 70
the same plat Of land for a series OF
e,ears, many conclusions cannot De
obtained from any other source:
Edgecombe has applied such tests and
variety of products till now, after
seven years of observation and ex-
p]erience, our county has accumulated
facts and figures the worth of which
cannot be definitely calculated. A
change in the location Of the test farm
would be most unWise and numerous
advantages gained would become a
loss.
There is a rumOr that the Board CT
Agriculture is discussing the question
OF selling the farm-a false step the
writer cannot believe they are con-
siderfng seriously. Their experiments
and Investigations should rise above
craftsmanship, as do the tests
ed on the farm. Edgecombe shows
proper appreciation Of her good
fortune in having an experiment sta
ton, and is just beginning to reap
it's manifold benefits and to believe
in the multiplication Of its advantages
not only to the imm ediate vicinity, but
to Eastern Carolina.
