DOES 1Tor LIKE D1Az Or TAFT.

!
Mrs. W. II. FELTON,, Gainesville, Ga.
Dear Madam: / was rejoiced over
your letter in late issue of The Jour
nal, portraying Diaz, of Mexico. I was
surprised that you had only found out
Diaz at such recent date. 1 saw and
read his history in a newspaper print
ed In this country about three years
since. 1 must say that he is and has
been the meanest, most cruel beast of
man that ever was suffered to live to
his age. When 1 read his history L
spurned him with all my soul. with all
the faith and hope there was in me. 1
went to God and prayed Him to deliver
those poor, blind, ignorant people from
his yoke of tyranny and fetch the old,
cruel wretch to a just end. Thank God,
that to a great degree it has been done!
May the Lord deal out justice to old
Diazl About the time 1 was reading
Diaz's rule, Bishop Gambler, Of Georgia.
came out in a long letter in The Journal
in praise of Diaz, what a great man
he was, and one of the best rulers of a
nation on EARTH
] wrote the bishop a letter. While
do not recollect all it's contents, sent
him a clipping from one of the papers,
giving the history of Diaz. and said to
him in my letter that if he was going
to laud and preach Diaz, not to have
anything more to say about Jesus
Christ, and If he was going to preach
Jesus. not to preach. Diaz any more. Be
1t said to the bishops credit have
never seen anything else about Diaz.
Only last year Taft and Diaz met on
the border lines of their dominions and
exchanged greetings to each other over
their splendid rule and success. Some
people said then they had both ought to
share the same fate. Taft is common
man and no gentleman. 1 don't care if
he is president 1 am dumstruck at the
people to let Taft spin off down here
and yet the people go crazy over him.
He is dined and wined and his every
word and step and. nod and wink is
picked UP and he is called on to make
a speech to every little organization.
and cheered and honored to the last de-
gree.
While it is shame on the nation that
such man should hold the executive
power of this nation
Mrs. FELTON,, while the sands of time
are giving under your feet and mine, If
you should live ten years or less time
the trouble in Mexico was not printing
for what will be IN this country. When
the prophecies and the words of Jesus
are being fulfilled that there never was
such time nor never would be any
more and Peter says weep and howl,
We rich men, for your days are at an
end.
Then there will be trouble, trouble.
Both sides are preparing for the strug-
gle. May God bless you, and do give it
to old Diaz.
I hope you will hit Taft. If it had not
been that Taft saw the spirit of the
people he would have sent the United
States army into Mexico to crush the
uprising, but he could read the hand
writing on the wall. Forgive this long
letter. May the Lord spare you many
days to WELD your pen against corrup-
ton % TT. d. WRIGHT.

GRow1NG TIMOTHY PAYS

Timothy is one of the best payina
crops grown on the farm when the fields
can be kept free from weeds But the
weeds are causing many farmers to quit
the crop, as the meadows become chokedl
with weeds and usually but one or two
crops are grown before the sod is SPOIL
ed and must be turned under and sown'
again
The spelling of the meadows can be-
prevented by using the mower after the
hav is harvested The meadow should
be clipped as often as the weeds start
TO make seed
This should be kept up until the frost
comes. If this is continued for several
years the weeds can be almost entirely
cleared from the sod.
Where timothy comes a poor stand or
is thinned by dry weather or other csaus-
es the stand can be HEuch improved by
the use of the harrow and the sowing
of more seed
In September take a heavy tooth har-
row and give the sod a good harrow
When the perfect stand is obtained
then see that the weeds do not get to
make seed, which will kill cut the grass
next year.
Meadows treated in this way do not be-
come thin and worthless but win i'm
prove for years.
Most farmers think the sowing Of the
seed the important part in getting good
meadow. 1t is well to do the seeding
in good shape but more often the stand
Is lost from some other cause.
Grass fields can be much improved
with a covering Of manure. This should
be done in the fall or early winter. Use
a manure spreader and give the f1eld a
thin spread of fine manure
Coarse manure, where spreading Is
done in the spring win sometimes leave
an odor on the hay. Fall spreading Is al
wavs best. The soil then is in better
condition for the work and the winter
rains carry the manure into the soil-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

On many farms a good system OF un-
derdrainage would double the crop pro-
ducing capacity of the farm and over
come the off years. If the drainage
conditions are right and care Is exer-
cised to save the soil moisture by sur
face cultivation of cultivated crops,
years of crop failure would be rare.
1t requires unceasing labor to con-
serve soil moisture and the work Should
begin as soon as the ground is plewed
in the spring by rolling and narrowing
lightly TO fill the spaces between the
furrow slices with loose dirt to check
the evaporation of moisture.
If freshly plowed corn is not harrow
ed soon after 1t is plowed the moisture
will evaporate very rapidly. Cultiva-
ton should provide a dust mulch on the
surface until cultivation ceases.
Thorough drainage, well prepared seed
beds and keeping the surface of the soil
mellow and fine will reduce the loss Of
moisture from our soil to a minimum
and prevent serious damage to our
crops from summer drouths.

How often do you say it? How many
thousands do say 1t when you see them
sneezing and suffering and feverish and
almost too miserable to keep going?
A learned doctor once said THE hui
man family didn't sneeze and shuttle
much until they began to build houses
and wear clothes. After houses were
built, then they began to heat them.
and from that time on they began to
have colds"
When shut up in warm rooms they
breathe the same air over and over
again. and we all know how easy it is to
find tobacco smoke next morning after
the room has been visited with
smokers, and even chewers. 1 don't know
anything more "sarchin' than the hot
tobacco breaths that fill a room, which
is closed up until next morning. To sleep
in such an atmosphere means great
deal more than we are accustomed to
giving to the proposition.
And we have all understood what an
epidemic of colds can do. 1t will run
through families and neighborhoods, and
precious few will escape. That shows
that bad cold can be passed on to the
next one very easily. 1t is now under
stood that germs go with bad colds as
we'll as grip, and influence and pneumo-
mia.
If people really comprehended the GER
tainty of such infections they would send
the first one to his home to save the
rest from the infection.
One of the most frequent means of
taking cold comes from overheated
rooms. The circulation is accelerated,
the pores of the skin open and when
one goes out in the colder air the perspi-
ration is checked and the trouble begins.
1 have always thought that sound, we'll
people do not take cold. Something is
wrong on the inside, something out of
joint, or you would not take cold, snuff
file or sneeze

PURE BRED KoGs FOR FAEn1ERsi


The value of purezbred hogs depends
largely on the care and attention given
them Care and attention pay well when
given to any kind of live stock, and
if we have pure breds we naturally feel
more interest in them and will take bet
ter care of them than if they were grades
of inferior quality.
Pure-breds breed evener, are more uni
form in color. have more style and finish
They feed quicker, mature or develop
earlier with less fat than most grades
This makes them more profitable for the
farmer and feeder to grow and feed and
of course they are. better sellers.
AS a breeder for more than 20 years.
have found that it pays to breed pure
breds and as a farmer and feeder for
over 80 years I know it pays well to raise
the best for feeding purposes.
A car load of pure-breds of any breed
of uniform style and color will always
command a premium on the market.
Pure-bred dams are generally of quiet
and gentle disposition and can be easily
handled at narrowing time. which is a
great help in saving filters, especially
when narrowed in bad weather, in winter
or early spring, when 1t is very essen
tial that the young pigs be looked after.
Pure-breds of the best quality are
ready for market at any age. A pure
bred of from 100 to $50 pounds viii often
sell for more per pound than a heavier
and older hog.
!. disease should get in your feed lot
or even in your immediate neighborhood
your pure breds are ready to go to mar
ket at any age and they will always sell
higher than grades of any breed of same
weight.
1t pays well to breed. feed and sell
pure breds of the very best quality of any
breed in preference to grades-E. E.
