HANDY DEVICES FOR THE FARM
Clemson Extension Work Article
LXVT.

There are hundreds of ways in
which the work about the farm and
farmhouse may be made easier and
simpler. There is no particularly heavy
expense attached to the use of labor
saving ana timc-SaNing devices. They
may be, for the most part, the result
Of a little concentration of thought
and timely application Of muscular
energy.
These different handy devices on
the farm, not only save time and Iu-
hor, but they give a personal sense OF
sratification and increased efficiency
which make them worth their cost
many times over. For instance. If

n Is remarkable story that
President Dabbs OF the Farmers
Union brings from Clemson College
concerning the anxiety of the colleg
officials over the decrease I'm fertilizer
sales this year. Agents OF the United
States DepartiN mt OF Agriculture and
members Of the Clemson faculty have
been going up and down the State
for the past several years preaching
the doctrine OF less commercial fer
differs and more legumes and live
stock as the only hope OF agricul-
eural salvation; and now IL appears
that while the Clemson evangelists
have been preaching this doctrine the
men higher up have been at home
praying for the farmers to use more
and more fertilizer. thereby swelling
the privilege tax and augmenting
Ciemson's income. III the farmers
should lie so soundly converted to
the legume. live stock and crop ro-
ration doctrine that they put into
practice the teachings OF the demon
stration agents. what would become
OF the privilege tag tax and Of Glenn
sons opulent income?
The paving IL main street cost the
city $4,000 and the owners of prop

are already rcaping handsome profits
on the public investment. as Is evil

The contract has been let for an ad-
dition to the British parliament build
ing at Victoria, to cost $4,000 prac-
tically doubling the size of the build
ing. Work is to be commenced i'm
mediately and rushed with all possible
speed, as the present Offices are so
congested that clerks and officers are
badly cramped to carry on the details
Of the provincial government. The
building is to be erected Of British
Columbia stone, same as original

ern improvements. 1t is expected that
when the building is completed and
furnished and the grounds laid out

reach $1,250,000 and that British Co.

Aviation in France.

Manufacture of aeroplanes has be-
come an industry of large proportions
in France. A year ago one maker
had sold over $50 machines and 9TH
ers had booked large orders. Since
then new manufacturers have en-
tered the field and the enterprise has
grown tremendously. All the manu-
facturers issue handsomely illustrat-
ed catalogues of standard sizes and
types Of stock machines. Each manu-
facturer has from one to three facto-
ries, and each his school for the in.
struction of intending buyers and of
professional aeronauts. For about
1000 francs one can learn to fly and
obtain a pilots license. A year ago
those schools of flight had graduated
over 400 pupils. Today their monthly
output numbers scores.
