FUTURE OF GOOD FARMING.

The day is coming-I may not live
to see it, but it is coming-when In
stead of a beggarly average of less
than 200 pounds of lint an acre all
over the South the bales of the crop
will be counted by the number of acres
planted, and the number Of acres will
diminish rather than increase, while
the auxiliary crops will attain an i'm
portance that will make us ashamed
of the old idea of merely growing
supplies"
We will grow the supplies, of
course, and great lot of them to sell
and to feed to hogs and cattle. And
it is the young men of the blood of
the Old South who are going to be the
leaders in this development. Not
that we will not welcome good men
from other sections, but the native
young men of the South are getting
their pride aroused and they are not
going to leave the future to men from
elsewhere, but they are themselves
hard at work, these Southern youths,
in the schools and colleges and in the
farm crop contests. They have no
old notions or superstitions to over
come. and the blood of the Old South
is going to make the New South.-W.

Lucy, and to him it seemed that the
best course to pursue was to allow
Primmer to weep it out. Primmer
looked mournfully at Lucy and said:

I'm SO sorry not to have met you
when you arrived" he said, selling
both her hands, while she drew her
self away in shyness.
"I am truly glad to see thee. Harry,
she told him. Thy house is most
seemly."
Harry looked quickly at her. There
seemed to be an undercurrent of hid
den meaning in her words. But a
glance at her lovely face. framed in
the sunny hair escaping from be-
meath the simple Quaker bonnet, was
enough to convince him that there
had been no guile in her remark.

gray dress, with just the touch OF

soft gray ribbons tying her bonnet
beneath her chin, was a marked CON

she knew she simply could not go

she would stay right there until he

The Count was only too willing, but
