trams advocates 81 n~aturziism
hold that wa err seriousiy In
cooking our food today. Tho

force In the natural food which
cooking destroys.
II 10 claimed that raw food
cures disease, especially diges-
tive difficulties. Much credible
testimony is offered in support
Of this claim, and at least two
physicians In New York an
nounce uncooked food as their
principal therapeutic agency.
Can it be true that cooking
Is a mistake? The logical an
swer Is, in the light of all facts,
yes and no.
To the argument that cook,

wrong, the reply Is, that all the

Arizona and New Mexico to

At tk6 Farmers Institute held
next week at the A. & M. Col
lege the discussion Of live stock
on the farm will be one Of the
most instructive and interesting
features. Those who have watch
ed the trend of things have seen
with regret the disposition Of
the farmer to cut down his sup
ply of live stock and plant his
lands in crops that are harvested
each year and which 60 to inn
poverish rather than improve the
soil. We have practically aban-
doned the raising of stock. With
the approach of winter every
COW and calf is put on TIE mar
ket at any price in order to save
feeding them. The number of
hogs have dwindled to practical
ly nothing and in a majority Of
counties in Mississippi there are
not enough hogs to furnish meat
for a barbecue if everybody was
present. Colts are rare in this
section and only occasionally you
find a farmer with a brood mare.
With the almost certain arrival
of the boil weevil We should
make ready to counterfeit his
destructive raid by having our
farms well supplied with farm
animals. We should stop the
wasteful method Of Kidding the
farms once a year Of stock
breeding animals and turn to
the better and safer method of
improving the quality of stock
and at the same time build up
the farm. No farming country
can reach it's greatest wealth
where the raising of live stock
is not one Of the prominent in
dustries.

CURIOUS BITS

NEGRO SLAVERY IN NEW

Hr "
II seems strange to think Of
New England ~ slave territory,
yet such IL was at once period.
A good authority places the
number Of negro slaves In the
New England colonies at the
outbreak Of tho Revolution -
follows: In New Hampshire,
about TOO; In Massachusetts,
about 5000; In Connections,
about 5000; and Ia Rhode To-
land, probably 5000. But sia-
very was never popular In that
section, and the oppesltlon to II
was strong. In 1884 the connsc-
tleut legislature passed an act
that no Negro or muiatte child
born within that state after .
certain date should be held In
ssrvituds longer than until the
AGE Of %. A considerable num-
Der Of New England eItixsns
wsrs vitality Interested In the
slave trade. In Colonial tlmes
slaves were frequently sent out
from Boston and other New Eng
land ssaports to the south.
They would buy moiassss from
Jamaica, turn Il Into rum, trade
the rum for negroes In Africa,
and sell the negroes as slaves
In jamaica, taking their pay
partly In molasses. Thus Il was
q sort Of endless chain, with
good profit IN every link. A Co
Ioniai writer, Samuel Hopkins,
says that In 1910 Rhode lsiand
had about $50 vessels engaged In
slave trade.
