, those lessons of self-knovvI-
edge and self-respect which
, should inspire each young hoy
and girl not TO look forward
with greedy eye 10 the possihiIi
ty of becoming a grent states
man OF leader of fashion or
star, but to search diligently for
, his or her capabiIity, and to de-
} veIop IT, whatever Ii may be, In
; all earnestness, faithfuIness and
loyalty.
} Both in home life and In
; school life our influence over

this direction. 1t Is not a de-
pressing fnnucnce-On the con-
trary, 1t is enrolling and FULL

but you should certainly be able to buy
two tons of it and put it on your farm
for the same outlay entailed in applying
one ton of caustic lime.
With regard to the matter about which
you make inquiry, permit me to say that
/ am at a loss to understand the analy-
sis presented in the circular sent out by
Warn & Platt, through their agent, Mr..
E. l.. Commins. at Meggett. s. C.. This
analysis claims that their lime is 81 per
cent pure By this they no doubt mean
it contains So per cent of Gao or calcium
oxide If 100 pounds of the highest grade
of lime stone are put into the kiln and
burned Sc pounds of calcium oxide or
quick lime would be obtained, and A
pounds of carbonic acid gas would have
been driven off If this Sc pounds of
caustic lime be treated with water we
would have "a pounds of hydrate of lime,
and if this hydrate of lime is allowed to
remain exposed TO the air, it takes up
carbonic acid and finally becomes 100
pounds of air-slaked lime. How it is
possible. therefore, to obtain 80 per cent
of acid carbonic, derived from rock phos-
plate. is a mystery. Evidently the salt
is added to the lime, but for what pur-
pose | am unable to say, as salt has
been found by investigation to have
practically no beneficial results in agri-
cultural practice, and no doubt enough
potash in the form of kainit or muriate
has been added to account for the 2 or
8 per cent of this material in the mix
ture. l presume that the six per cent

maize or corn. of the variety that Iii
nois grows and is feeding to the world,
is in no manner responsible for pellagra,
according TO the first report of the llli-
nois Pellagra commission, which is in
readiness for presentation to the legisla-
ture The report contains the informa-
ton that corn in none of its conditions
is the cause of this disease.
Illinois is the first state in the union
to recognize the disease officially and to
make official investigation of its origin.
The theory that the disease is car
ried by the buffalo gnat or the black
fly is being investigated also. Professor
Forbes, state entomologist, reports the
buffalo ny plentiful in Illinois, but as his
investigations are not complete, the pei
lagra commission has no report to make
now on this phase of the work.
In Illinois pellagra now claims about
800 known victims. In Roumania, with
practically the same population as I'LL
nois, there are 10000 cases.
Not being considered contagious. it has
not been made a reportable disease in
any state yet. DIR. Zeller has official
estimates from the boards of health of
81 states in which they acknowledge the
presence of at least 1000 well-defined
known cases North Carolina reports
1000; Georgia. 1000; Mississippi, 300; Vir-
ginia, 400. The mortality is estimated at
30 per cent.

Information" declared Senator Cummins
in the senate today when he resumed
speech begun yesterday in opposition
to the Gallinger shipping bill
Senator Cummins had questioned SEN
ator Gallinger as to the difference in
cost between sailing an American ship
with American sailors and the opera
ton of foreign ships.
Senator Gallinger said he believed that
Mr.. Cummins was one of those who
thought that the cost of production at
home and abroad could be figured out
fundamentally.
Il am not one of those" added the
New Hampshire senator.
Mr. Cummins then said he believed
that the subsidy bill. which is designated
to encourage establishment of lines be-
tween the United States and South
America, is based upon an unsound prin-
ciple applied in an unscientific and unin-
telligent way.

MRS. EMERSON ACCEPTS
DIVORCE SUIT SERVICE

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 2.-Mrs. Emil
ly AslIen Emerson accepted service this
afternoon In the divorce proceedings
brought by her husband, Capt. Isaac E.
Emerson whose bill of complaint 1t is
alleged, names c. Hazeltine Basshor. a
prominent clubman. as correspondent.
The method Of the procedure was dra-
matte. Mrs Emerson was i'll in bed at
her home, 25O0 Eutaw place. and the pa
pers were served on her there by Depu-
ty Sheriff Henry A. Repson. who was
accompanied by John B. Deming, law
yer, associated with George Whitelock,
who, with william Shepard Bryan, Jr,
Is counsel for Mrs. Emerson.
The bin for absolute divorce was filed
on Wednesday in the circuit court, but
Judge Heuisler took charge of the pa
pers. which were sealed. The same
evening" a deputy sheriff went to Mrs
Emersons home to serve notice on her.
but she sent word that she was Ill and
that it was impossible for her to see
him. After the publication of the d.
yorce proceedings Mrs. Emerson decided
to meet the issue. and she, therefore,
sent her automobile down town today to
bring the deputy sheriff to her house
Mrs. Emerson promptly accepting serv-
ice.
Judge Heuisler said that the papers
were sealed and that he did not intend
to release them at this time. The judge
explained that under the circumstances
he did not consider IT best to make them
public property. The copy of the bill of
complaint served on Mrs. Emerson is
returnable in court on the second Mon
day in February. If she contests the
suit it will mean an open court fight If
not. testimony will be taken before an
examiner and referred to a master of
and report to the judge. Provision is
made for delay of some days should
counsel for defendant desire time to pre-
pare for the case.

The pruning after the third year is
very similar to that given in the third
year. Three or four twigs are selected
on each growth. the others cut out. and
the remaining rwigs cut back. All cross
limbs or limbs that are too close to-

I'M a middle buster furrow or bed and
run distributor in front of the planter?
What is good to give a horse an appe-
tite? f1t
We would prefer to open a furrow
where we intended to make the cotton
bed, and put init such vegetable mat
ter or manure as we might anticipate
using, and then scatter the greater part
of the fertilizer on this and mix 1t with
the soil by means of bull tongue. The
buii tongue may be run through the
furrow two or three times Then a light
bed should be made and the cotton plant
ed thereon. If ones land is deficient In
Negotiable matter. it is probably better
to put say 300 pounds of 500-pound ap.
plcation under the drill row. and then
use 200 pounds as a side application, say
six weeks to two months after planting.
If the cotton does not make sufficient
growth and fruit as freely as is desir
able, apply nitrate of soda as a top
dressing at the rate of 70 pounds per
acre In your section of the state nitrate
should probably not be used later than
July ], and probably If applied June Is
even better results will be secured.
A good tonic to give a horse that is
out of condition and has lost his appe-
tite is the following:
Pulverized sulphate of iron......4 ounces.
Pulverized nitrate of potash. q ounces;
Pulverized ginger root. -. % ounces.
Pulverized gentian root. i 2 ounces.
Pulverized nux vomica seed ....2 ounces.
Mix all together thoroughly, and give
teaspoonful in the feed two or three
times a day.
OYSTER SHELL VERSUS CAUsTIC
LIME.
m n Cx.otr,a -z..5
you a circular concerning oyster shell
lime. How do you think this compares
with caustic lime? Which will give the
best results on worn red lands? l can
secure oyster shell lime laid down for
about 50 per ton. Is this a reasonable
price? l am advocating on every occa-
sion an increased appropriation for your
extension work. and l am sure you viii
get 1t If it is properly presented at the
next session of the legislature.
Oyster shells may provide lime which
is practically pure calcium carbonate, and
therefore, is one Of the most desirable
forms TO use for the Improvement of
the soil. Oyster shells will probably
produce a character of lime little more
active probably when in the burned or
caustic form. When using unburned
shells it is important that they be
ground very, very fine, the finer the bet
ter land one should use at least twice
as much shell lime as burnt lime to
secure the same effect in the soil, so far
as the correction of acidity Is concerned.
Oyster shell lime may not be high
grade 1t depends altogether on how
much dirt and trash are ground up with
the shells. If materials of equal purity
are put on the ground under equally ia
vorable conditions. there would be little
To choose between the burned or un-
burned lime derived from shells or de-
rived from rock. OF course, the COM
position of rock varies materially, some
grades being much lower in calcium
carbonate than others. In our judg-
ment, you should be able to buy caus-
tic lime In the best form in carload lots
at cost not exceeding IS to $3.50 per
