On Sunday the News family
drove out to the home Of j, j.
Smith and wife, southeast of
town, where they found as beau
tiful a patch of alfalfa as ever
grew. Around the house the
alfalfa is over knee high as it
stands and the stalks when
Strengthened up will measure
several feet in length Mr.
Smith has several acres of alfal-
ia, which has grown without ir-
rigatlon. A few weeks ago Mr..
Smith plowed or tore up part of
this field, breaking out a furroW
and leaving as wide a space as a
furrow, Then later he leveled
this down again. This stirring
gave the crop new life and it is
growing nicely. A fine garden
is growing west of the house,
with a row Of small naples all
around it, Potatoes, sugar beets
and mangel WurzelS are showing
how well they can do. Immedi-
ately surrounding the house, are
a lot of trees Of various kinds,
principally South Carolina pop
lars, which have already at
tanned sufficient growth to make
their shade inviting.
Mrs. Smith is more than proud
Of her chickens. She has about
a hundred hens and has been
marketing an average of twenty
five dozen eggs each week. We
didn't count the fries and little
chicks running around in the
alfalfa, but there must have been
a couple Of hundred at least. Mr..
Smith takes especial pride in his
young mules, Of which he has q
half q dozen. One span OF young
fellows he has just broken to
work, the rest being younger.
All six are as pretty as pictures.
And we must not pass that
dinner. A great platter of fried
chicken took onr eye and atten-
ton the very first thing, While
not a minister ourselves, we are
the son Of a minister and came
by the liking for chicken honest
ly. With all kinds Of Valley
grown vegetables from the gar
den, the meal was fit for q king.
# anyone doubts Mrs. Smiths
ability as a cook, just ask Ruth
and Berta.
During the afternoon, we drove
on east to the home of Albert
Abbott. Miss Alma Boles at
once momded her saddle pony
and rounded up the horses for a
snap shot. And those horses are
pictures and no mistake. A
couple of two year olds, which
have never tasted corn nor been
in a stable, are as plump as a roll
OF butter. Mr., Abbott has some
three hundred acres of native
grass which he will cut for hay
this year. A snap was taken of
this, with MIR. Abbott and Mr.
Shaw in the grass, which was
waist high to them. We also
found nice garden here.
Driving northWard we passed
field after field Of native grass
soon ready for the mower and
rake, a thousand acres or more.
Not so much farming is done in
that neighborhood as out west,
but the grass IS sure to be preft-
able with no more work than the

WH,Ligon sent us a sample
of oats last week, which
measured just fifty. two inches
IN height and as green asgrass
still growing. How tall they
will be at harvest is hard to
prOgnosticate. But that they
are splendid oats is an easy
guess.

"a census of all the birds in the
United States? One would think that
the result would be about as uncer-
tain as the count of chickens before
they are Matched. Nevertheless, the
department of agriculture is taking a
census of the birds and their habits.
1t is estimated that there are 1,400,-
100000 of them-not including several
millions of human geese, and as many
human parrots, who echo what others
say. This estimate would give us
only about II birds apiece, and one is
almost inclined to think sometimes
that there are more than a billion
sparrows in the United States. But
the department is studying the birds
to find out how they held or hurt
crops, with a view to diminishing
those which injure, and increasing
those which help by destroying the in
sects which so seriously injure
grains and fruits.-BOy Life.

Welcome to a Meal.

An ingenious tramp entered a back
yard a few days ago and knocked at
the kitchen door.
I'm very hungry" he remarked, pa
thetically, Il am on the point of star
vation May l eat some of the grass
in your yard?"
The maid who answered his knock
did not reply as he expected.
Certainly. Eat all the grass you
want" she said.
Somewhat taken aback, yet nothing
daunted, the tramp got down on his
hands and knees and began to eat
grass. Now the pasture at this time
of year is not particularly good. But
the tramp went on munching grass
and waiting for the desired summons
from the kitchen.
1t came in about 10 minutes. Hope
fully, wondering what good things he
was going to get, he went back to the
kitchen door.
You calling me-" he asked.
Yes" the girl at the door answer
ed. 81 thought there wasn't much
grass right there. You'll find more in
the field across the way

Carnegie's Benefactions.

Andrew Carnegie has succeeded not
only in making himself the second
richest man in the world, but also in
enriching several of his fellow coun,
trymen, says the London Chronicle
When the "star-spangled Scot" retir'
ed from business his fortune was esti'
mated at $375,OO0,000, and he had
made about $2OO,OOO,OOO for his friends
and partners, large proportion OF
whom are of Scottish birth. These in
clude George Lauder, his cousin, who
now lives in retirement at Pittsburg,
with at least $2O,OOO,OOO to soothe his
declining years; Thomas Morrison,
also a cousin, and Alexander Peacock,
another son of Dunfermline, likewise
amassed huge fortunes at Pittsburg.

AGE OF THE SAHARA
Question Upon Which Noted Sci
entists Disagree.
Oryness Has Much Increased Since
Days When Rome Was Mighty
Empire-Phenomeno Ad-
vances With Mighty
Strides.

There has long been much disagree
ment among scientists as to the ques-
ton of the antiquity Of the Sahara
desert, and over the manner in which
it was formed. They agree, however,
that the dryness has much increased
during the centuries that have passed
since Rome was a mighty empire.
One French savant, who made the
arduous journey from the Niger river
to Lake Tchad, brought back much
interesting information regarding the
progress of the arid region southwark.
1t appears that the country that ex-
tends from the Niger to Lake Tchad,
between thirteen and sixteen degrees
north latitude, is completely barren OF
permanent water bodies. For more
than eight hundred miles it is a
tropical region without a watercourse.
Only yesterday-as biologists count
time-alI this was different. The
Niger received from the left immense
aff1uents, veritable floods. Then g1-
RATES. and elephants, it is believed,
wandered even to the borders Of
Mediterranean Numidia, seeking the
abundant vegetation.
Presently came the Mohametan con-
quest, with it's tribes of nomadic
Arabs, and the invasion of the
Tuaregs from the east, accelerating
the Saharan devastation.
These invaders burned over great
tracts of land, destroying vegetation
and leaving nothing to hold the
fallen water in check. The hy-
grometric state of the atmos-
phere was impoverished. The
vapor was no longer condensed.
The rain failed, vegetation disappear
ed and the soil and rocks were left
exposed to the direct action Of heat
and cold and of the winds. The de-
composition of the granite filled the
dry river beds with sand for great
distances.
The advance of this phenomenon
has not stopped at the edge of the
tropics. The Sahara, it is thought,
has gained toward the south steadily
It is established on all the northern
parts of Lake Tchad. Although it ap-
pears slow, it's march is extremely
rapid, compared with other geologic
phenomena. Barth, the German ex-
plorer, found water in abundance
sixty years ago where the expedition
Of Peroz suffered from thirst in 1904.
The old men of North Adair showed
Peroz rivers which in their youth fiow-
ed many months Of the year, but were
at the time Of the French expedition
entirely dry. Lakes yesterday perma-
nent, which the French expected to
find full, were dry, and did not re-
plenish themselves, except during the
two months of winter.-Harper's
Weekly.
