by Mrs. E. E. Eaton and Mrs c. R.
Davidson on the piano, and Miss Es-

the large crowd of two hundred or
| more were highly entertained and well
pleased with the band music which
| was so well rendered under the eff
cient and capable direction of it's en-
thusiastic band master, Mr.. Major.
The affair was highly entertaining
from first to last. and the eighteen
instruments composing this band
could never be used to better of more
| pleasing advantage than in this con-
| cert. The execution was perfect, and
tie harmony CT the large number of
instruments was grand.
This concert no doubt makes step
forward for Sumrall. The citizens
were forcibly, yet very pleasantly i'm
pressed with the excellent talent of
its citizens.
The piano solos rendered by Mes
; danes Eaton and Davidson were high
ly entertaining and very much en-
ioyed.
The vocal solos of Mrs. C. r. Da
wilson, Miss Estelle Casteel land Mr.
e. M. Allen afforded quite a pleasant
variation of the program and wei
merited the usual reward, the appre

Russia's Butterfly Belief.

Small boys and girls in Russia often
do not have the joy of butterfly chas-
ing or collecting, for the popular and
pretty belief of the peasants is that
these swarms of fragile, lovely insects
are the eauhbound souls of the dead
compelled to linger for some minor ex-
nation of sin. As the nurses of the
children of all below royalty are from
the peasant class, they impress on
them at an. early age how wicked 1t
would be to catch and torture a soul
and thus imhue them with supersti-
tion that lasts until they are well
grown.-New York Tribune.

WAYS OF CATCHING MONKEYS
Filipino Natives Have Decidedly In.
teresting Method of Capturing
Lazy Little Animals.

In the Philippine islands the ma
tives catch monkeys in "a curious
way.
The monkeys are fond of the meat
of cocoanuts. which grow as plentl
fully there as apples do in our coun.
try. They are lazy, though, about
gnawing through the outer bark, and
will only do so when exceedingly hun.
cry. The natives take advantage OF
their greed and Incidence by cutting
small opening through the shell, just
large enough for Mr. Monkeys long,
thin hand to penetrate.
When he once gets inside, he gets
his hands full of delicious, dainty
meat, and his hand is naturally wi.
der in this act than when it entered.
Finding his hand will not come out
the monkey chatters and scolds, plain.
ly showing his indignation al the way
he has been trapped, but never thinkg
of loosening his hold on the cocoa
nut and withdrawing his hands as cas-.
lily as he put 1t in. There he stands
an angry monkey, until the man WI
set the cocoanut trap comes and take
him captive.

poses, although they did quite lot
OF work around the farm during the
year.
A pair of horses weighing from
1,400 to 1,500 pounds each are heavy
enough for any kind of farm work,
but many farmers prefer horse with
more weight
In considering the size of a farm
team, it is well to remember before
the purchase is made what the regu-
lar duties Of the team are to be; for
many farmers who need only one pair
Of horses will want to use them on
the road for wagon work as we'll az to
hook UP to the carriage on Sundays.
Therefore, they will not require ex-
ira heavy ones, but rather pair that
are known as "all around" horses, and
II these weigh 1,40O to 1900 pounds
each they will have plenty Of size,
and If they are we'll shaped and have
spirit and snap, they will do good

cially when you want him to do lit

PERcHERoNs FOR FARM WORK
Two stations and Two Mare. Of Purs
Bred Type Used on Big Manure
Spreador In Virginia.

(Hy s. NJ CL4INTON.3
A little over year ago paid a
visit to a breeding farm in the ia.

lcheron horses were raised, and was
struck with the fact that this breed
possessed admirable qualities as farm
horses. as we'll as city drafters.
Two stations and two mares were
working on big manurespreader,
being all driven by one man. These
superb animals were pure-bred Per
cherons, and averaged 1850 each.
The young stations were easily man.
aged, although they were being used
In the stud.
The mares were splendid specimens
of the breed, and it was great sight
to see these four magnificent animals
working quietly together.
The compactness of body, the
cleanness of limb and the splendid
structure Of their feet, all go to make
the Percheron popular, both as a
farm horse and city drafter.
For farm work they do not need to
weigh 1850, as did those four pure
breeds just mentioned, these being

.HUsKING OUT THE CORN CROP
Easy to Do Part 81 Work In Barn
During IncIement Weather II
Managed Properly.
CIV GEORGE K. RRowN.1

(By GEORGE K. BROWN.)
In sections of the country where the
corn crop is quite large it is almost
impossible to shuck out the entire
crop in the barn, hence the most
handy and economical method of dis
posing of the corn and fodder In the
open field during the early fall months
is sought out This is the way we
gather our corn:
AS soon as the crop is ready to haul
into the barn we fill up our large base
ment floor, which holds about two
good days husking, and keep it stored
there for bad autumn days which are
sure to come.
When we are driven from the fields
by storms we husk and bundle this
stored fodder out, and by the use of
sling attachment fastened upon our
hay rope we easily pull the bundles,.
about fifteen at load into the mows
with the use OF the farm team. In
this manner the basement floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits
Out in the fields on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted combination wagon box and
rack. The wings of this rack closed
up form a tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside
the shock row each shock is readily
husked out, the corn thrown directly
into the bed, the fodder bundled, and
oh
evening after the days husking is%
stored in the cribs the same wagon
is employed in gathering in the days
husking of fodder which is hauled to
the barn and securely stored away.
In this manner each days work is
finished UP clean and no concern is.
felt by us as to what the weather of the
next day or two may be. In one cor
ner of the wagon bed is box for
choice ears of seed, selected as we
go along. If the fodder is to be
shocked up in lunches for stacking
later on, we carry discarded kerO-
sene can. fitted with temporary bat
tom into which has been placed ball
of Irvine with one end threaded out
through the spout.
From this ball we cut out our supply
of Irvine for tying the lunches and
have no trouble from the Irvine en-
tangling among the fodder.
We aim to get all the corn into the
cribs and the fodder into the stacks
and barns as early as possible, for
after winter storms set in, fodder rap
idly depreciates even in well shocked
punches in the open field.

In this era of vacuum cleaners for
