The new law thus removes the county
option feature of the law of 1907 and
makes the herd law operative over all
parts of the State.

TOLERANCE.

Tolerance is a calm, generous re-
spect for the opinions Of Others,
even the opinions Of ones enemies;
Tolerance is silent justice blended
with sympathy. Tolerance always
implies wisdom and kindness. II
seeks to convert others from error
by gently raising them to higher
ideals by honestly leading them to
broader lines Of thinking and by pa
ienty helping them to help them
selves. Tolerance does not use the
battering ram Of argument or the

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Winter Quarters For Hens.

While fowls can stand great deal
more crowding In the winter than
in the summer. they cannot stand too
much even then. The first Doticea BILE
effect from overcrowding is diminished
egg production, which can be relieved
by removing part of the fowls TO other
quarters. Feather pulling and egg
eating are vices that are soon learned
when fowls are too crowded. A con-
tagious disease soon spreads in crowd
ed quarters and plays sad havoc
among the flock. There is never enough
room at the feeding trough. and the
weaker ones never get enough TO eat
But the worst result Of overcrowding
is the curtailment of the egg supply,
and this counts when eggs are SO high
in price. IL you would have plenty
of eggs keep no more fowls in one
pen than can be comfortable on the
roosts without oyercrowding and have
plenty of scratching room in the house.
If they are so crowded as to be in the
way of one another while scratching
for their food, you certainly will not
get many eggs.

THE STORAGE OF
SEED POTATOES.
TubeTs Keep Best In a Well
Ventilated Cellar.

Seed potatoes In storage have three
very definite requirements. They must
be kept In cool place well ventilated
and dark. That the potatoes be kept
cool is most important. The best tenn
perature is from SO to 81 degrees If
the temperature falls below 81 degrees
there Is danger of freezing. although
1t takes slightly lower temperature
TO freeze potatoes than water Good
ventilation is necessary in order to
prevent the spread of rot, and ii is
well to keep the potatoes dark. so they
will not start to sprout at any time.
A COOL dark, well ventilated cellar
fairly dry Is the best place to store seed
potatoes on the ordinary farm.
As spring comes on seed potatoes
should not be allowed to send out the
long, pale, spindly shoots so often seen
This may be prevented by keeping the
potatoes cool and dark Some growers.
three or four weeks before planting
time, spread their seed potatoes out in
the light at temperature of 60 to 20
degrees and here allow them to de-
veIop sprouts half to an inch long.
These are strong, stubbly little sprouts.
that are not broken off In planting.
It is said this process both hastens the
maturity Of the crop and increases the

HARLAN'S SUCCESSOR
May Be from the SOuth-President
Taft Will Ignore Politicicai Lines.

The Times-Demoerat Washington
special says: Intimations have come
| from reliable source that if presi-
| dent Taft names a man to fill the
vacancy created by the death of JUS
Itice Harlan, who. in view of Senator
lLaFoliette. IS reactionary, the
Wisconsin senator will not hesitate
Ito make as stout fight against him
as he can. The LaFollette view of
what constitutes a reactiOnary diff
fers so widely from that of Presi-
dent Taft that the intimation is
equivalent to declaration that
Mr.. LaFollette will seek to defeat
almost any one who might be named.
Senator LaFollette has never inn
pressed the Senate, or even the
Senate galleries, as great lawyer,
but he is going to sit in critical
Judgment on the qualifications of
the man named by the President.
The LaFollette intimation is looked
upon as putting Solicitor General
Lehman, Secretary Nagel and about
everybody else who has been men,
toned. out of the running, unless
the President is willing to have his
theiee put through the Senate by
sheer force of numbers and by
means OF the pressure majority
car exert to make an obstreperous
minority come to a vote.
The speculation as to the man the
choice is likely to fail
upon continues without the slightest
indication from the President him
self as to how he will proceed to
choose the man. A few Southern
Democrats think the President will
seek another Democrat so as to give
the party one-third of the member
ship. North Carolinians have there
fore thought of former Governor
Aycock and Walter Clark, the latter
highly approved by Bryan, who
thinks him worthy of the presiden-
eN. They are Of what may be called
tic Populistic wing of the party,
and unlike Chief Justice White and
Justice Lamar. the other Democrats.
There also has been some talk of
The President naming James S. Har-
Ian, the interstate commerce COM

nerisms, that when he is as old as
bis father was at the time of his
death, he likely will be an exact re-
of his illustrious parent.
tt is considered extremely doubt
full whether the President allows
politics to influence him, unless it

WEATHER. AND CROPS
Favorable for Picking and Ginning.
A Large Crop Has Been Made.

New Orleans Picayune Oct. is: The
past week has been a very favorable
period from a weatehr standpoint
for the cotton crop. There has been
some rain, particularly in parts of
Texas and on the Atlantic coast, but
the rain has been rather more faV-
orable than otherwise. as it has
helped the maturing of the top crop.
Taking the cotton belt as a whole,
the weather has been favorable for
picking and ginning and all accounts
agree in indicating that the ginning
totals have been large. The belief is
now general that a large crop has
been made, and, although frost,
when it comes, will have more or
less effect on sentiment, the best au-
thorities seemed to be agreed that
owing to the early maturity of the
crop frost at the average date will
do no damage.
Although no attempts are being
made to estimate the size of the
crop, the belief is general that it
will be large. The fact that prOduc-
ers on the Atlantic coast are willing
sellers, even at the heavy decline
that has taken place, proves that the
producers themselves realize that
the crop will be large one. 1t is
true that in the western and central
portions of the belt there is more
disposition to hold cotton and re-
fuse to accept present prices, but
the offerings from the Atlantic coast
are 50 large that the holding back
by the West has not appreciably
the movement, which
has been unprecedentedly large.
The rice crop continues to come
to market freely, and it is now evil
dent that the yield will hardly come
up to the figures of the preceding
year. The market has been good so
far and all offerings have found
ready sale.
The sugar crop has not made
much progress towards proper
maturity during the past week, as
the weather has been rather warm
err than was desirable and there has
been rather too much rain.

nest in foul. filthy rubbish. Lice and
