Agricultural High School.

The field work at the Agricul-
tural High School has, for the
past few months, necessarily
progressed slowly. Owing to the
severe weather this winter, we
have not been able to utilize our
student labor to good advantage.
The ground has been so wet that
our clearing has fallen short of
expectations. Even the stock
which has been sawed cannot be
hauled to the mill for some time
yet. The saw mills have been so
closely shut down during the bad
weather that it has been hard to
get even small bills of lumber
sawed.
However, we have been MAX
ing such preparations as running
terraces and clearing land when
not too wet. We also have the
foundation. for our barn laid and
hope to complete it with student
labor before the end of the session
Our farm plans consist of a
good large garden. a small patch
each of cotton and corn, hog
pastures and permanent pastures
with the rest of the farm sown
to leguminous crops.
We have rented corn land for
this year, thinking it would be
better policy to build up our own
soil as rapidly as possible. This
is just what we would advise a
farmer to do, whose land would
not make a profitable yield, 1t
might be stated here that the
school land consists of losser
sandy soil underlaid mostly with
sand or yellow hard pan.
We might also state that we
are heartily in sympathy with
Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work" and intend lend
ing every possible assistance to
promote it's advancement.
Respectfully,
J. N. LIPSCOMB.

tendance on public worship was enforced and failure to attend was not punish able by law. Later on as we study the necessity of this rest day we find that with this enforcement of the Biblical law provision was made to use this holy day or rest day to instruct the people in the temples, but the early law did not re- quire them to attend worship. though men were put to death for working on the Sabbath. The Sabbath was not only used as a rest day but was one of Joy and gladness;' an illustration os the Jewish idea of the day Is given In an incl dent given in the Book of Nehemiah, where it tells us The Levites read in the i book the law of God, etc." and then Nehemiah and the Levites said to the people. This is holy day, go your way, eat drink and be glad" day set apart for rest and gladness. The com lmand given to man to rest and praise God in the earliest ages is just as binding now as then, the old saying. Humanity Is the same the world over." is true one and the physical and moral life of man today needs a day of rest and praise; the human race is the same yesterday. today and forever, conditions may change. but mans physical being must comply with the laws of nature; rest Is essential not only with the individual but the state and the nation.
 To get a true American Sabbath ob- servance we should weave Into our na- tional consciousness three fundamental principles:
 1. That the object of the Sabbath is to give all men a day of rest and laws governing the observance of the Sab bath are made to protect the working mans rights-each individual must be allowed to rest as he sees fit provided the law is not interfered with. 3. There must be national con sciousness which will allow men to find gladness which Is acceptable to God. and
 3. The principle of knowing how to work and knowing now to rest. We cannot make the rest day acceptable l to d Christian nation until we have | learned how to work. Why should l designate the American Sabbath from any other Sabbath. The American Sabbath Is taking on the tone of the American people--it is becomiNs a med 1 ley--with the advent of many people many nations-the observance of the day Is changing. Are we using 1t q holy day or a day of rest set apart | by Divine commando
 | Are the American people using it as day of rest like primitive man did? Our excuse Is that our complex civill- zation changes the problem-today 1t Is almost impossible to give or receive without utilizing some other mans la bor-more perplexities-the modern life is more complex than the primitive Ilife-who makes 1t so?
 The American people are alive to the right conception of the meaning of the rest day our national intelligence Is not to be questioned, state and city laws are enforced and the individual, the home, the state and the nation re- cognizes the necessity of the observ- ance of the Sabbath. All men of all nations are familiar with the Biblical statement And He rested on the sev- enth day"

 told,

SOME MEMOIRS OF HOME
 LIFE IN THE OLD SOUTH
By CAROLYN BRANDON HLLIoTT In Three Pnrts-Part I.

have received suggestions for hiS play called 'srhe Tempest. which was given | due place of honor in the little collection of leather incased duodecimos which had been purchased In the old country. The planter himself had too great a fondness for his sword to write many books or was too busy fighting Indians and tsacf- ing negroes; or, perhaps, he was too much interested in upholding the sorno- times opposing policies of crown and state; or in spending his leisure to hunt big game in the woods. However this may have been, he left most of tho manu- script making to the Puritan parsons of tho Old North state, while he with other like dignitaries "orated and norated" i'm the worshipful house of Burgesses at tho state house in James Cittis.
 The education of his children was pur- sued within the borders of his own honaey the scattered agricultural interests of the south having offered less nducement to ai system of public education than the more closely settled townships of New England,
 Thus, through necessity, was education in the South confined to the cultured homes, with iittle regard for the poorer classes. A deplorabie condition. which we are just now beginning to overcomet However, even in the hunblest homes there was 6 certain marked refinement of quiet speech and gentle manner. Never was tho landowner himself that course braggart who wore s1ouched hats and soiled linen; who forever indulged in idleness, and mint juleps and unforgivable English. Rather was he an unpretenhous man of high ideals, little intolerant but with a determined, busy 1ife to live. Every day at tho door of his home stood his favorite well groomed horse. awaiting his masters morning ride around the tobacco and grain fields. At the plough was the black man, learning tho first crude lessons of civilization. He had landed from the Dutch ships at James town, and the home of the white man was not protected against this uncouth stranger, who had been thrust into this new environment through no will of his own. He lived comfortably within his masters quarters, protected like his mas ter with palisades against any attack from the free born native Americans,
 a new world: the free man. the slave. and each sacrificing for tho other.
 Only the sacrifice of the red man's birthright made possible a new world oiv- ilization; only the lessons of bondage made possible the transformation of a savage into citizen; only the willingness of a superior race to give of its strength for the upbuilding of the weak made pos sible a commonwealth where all men alike might raise their wounded, helpless hands to Abba Father"
 Perhaps such beginning was but pro- phecy of wonderful fulfillment upon the soil of this strange new land, that yet vast never young"

How Ants Find Their Way

"
 Persons who have studied the habits of ants know that these insects are able to wander far from their nests; trail through forests of grass and then. with out difficulty, find their way back to the starting point. Naturalists agree that landmarks are not necessary to the ant; 1t can find it's way to it's nest if all landmarks are altered.
 A German scientist advances the Ethcnry tfat ants are guided, like dogs. 'by a well developed power of scent But the most recent investigator of ths subject Swiss naturalist. sCornetz by name who has made records of more than 100 trails actually followed by ants to and from their nests, is quite sure that they do not depend on smell. The ants path back to the nest. he says, Is the same as the path she followed on her outward journey.
 Cornetz believes that the ant has a curious power of remembering the gen. ctkon of her course. in spite of having to climb over and creep un- der obstacles, and to make occasional excursions to right and left. in search of food Moreover, when she has found
 eaf shs wishes to carry home she is able to turn herself about so as to follow exactly the reverse direction home.

Cor .nst1 reeites an experiment in which an ant returning to her nest was trans ported on a leaf beyond her nest; she pned to travel in the direction that she had been pursuing, although she was now, of course, moving away from her home.
 The homeward journey, Cornets finds, is always in course roughly parallel to that of the outward journey. A man who has tried to keep the same direc- tion through miles of thick woods, on a cloudy day, without compass. and with no chance to view the landscape oer'' from high ground. must respes0 the ant for something more than mere industry.

FACTS FOR BIRMINGHAM MOTHERS

the adding of chemical prsservatives These can only be discovered by a chem ica1 test"
 No article of food is attracting more careful attention than our milk: t is a subject of vital consequence, and Sena- tor Stewart of Nevada cautioned his hearers among senators, "If we had to raise soldiers now as we did in 1861 I do not believe that throughout the coun- try we would find so large a percentage of young men fit for hard service as there were at that time. l believe the degenerated condition of many of them is the result In a great measure of the poisonous food that they eat"
 At one time a visitor after many years, absence from the city of her childhood, returned, and tho men looked smaller and the women more delicate and the doctor was asked If the change was real or imaginary, and the cause. He unhesi- tatingly replied, "Bottle-fed babies" This makes the dairy interests of the world more important, and we herein give the mothers who are feeding babies a few rules we have gathered from a practical source:
 When modifying cows milk at home for the feeding of infants the physician must. of course, give the necessary in- structions as to how the work is to be done.
 
 preparing modified milk at home is to obtain both pure, fresh, clean milk and cream with q definite percentage of but ter fat.
 Cows milk differs considerably in sol ids from mother>~-milk and it Is, there fore necessary In feeding healthy child to so modify cows milk as to make it equal in solids to mothers milk.
 ''rhe foregoing would apply where the 1 infant is in normal and healthy con dition. Where the infant is feeble or sick the cows milk would be so modi- l fled as to meet the requirements of the case.
 Physicians usually base their formu- las for modifying milk on the basis of milk containing 4 per cent fat and cream containing IS per cent fat.
 ''It must be remembered, however, that | no success may be expected In feed I ing an infant artifcially unless the milk which is the base of the mixture is DOT 1 fectly pure, fresh and clean"
 Since having the privilege of riding over l the mountain, we have changed our plans and our ifs a little We would drive the city OCT and OCT and see the sick and well. We'd see the rich and know the poor, and carry to them the lesson we learned of pure milk. and beautiful COWS of white washed barns, and fields of grass And, 11f' we ever do have a machine of our own the mothers would visit the Certified" barn that they may see the uattle that are carefully groomed and their Hanks and udders clipped De- fore each milking their udders and teats are carefully washed, and the cows rep resenting the best stock at a consider able cost are worth the visit.

You have often heard the expression. ''If wishes were horses, beggars might ride" And 1t is very interesting to note what hindrance that word If" is in many of life's plans. Right now every body has an automobile. and those who do not enter on that everybody list' can only conjecture of what might hap pen If they only had one.
 Two of the ''Withouts were surn1iSing g few days ago when one remarked, If had an automobile I'd ride from one end of this city to the other. I'd see the limit of progress. of building, of wealth and of poverty and I would go again and again through 1t all" The writer happened to be the other party, and one of the walking crew." so we ventured to say just what we would do if anything like an auto" would happen to us. We would peep oyer Red mountain and drive its wandering roads: we'd envy the cottage homes with their high climb ing grounds and gather the fruits that grow so luscious on the hill. There the golden rod swings with the grasses on the hill, and reigns as the choice of a states precious weed. Wed drive along the roadside and see the rabbits jump, and point to the droves of birds who have fluttered from the clumps. And as tn ding-dong of the cowbell tells of pastures green, we'd hasten to the cow pen to see what could be seen.
 The COW pen as it used to be with its old worm fence, with its corners filled with brars and it's briars full of nests Then we'd wander around the pea patch and watch the fodder stacks, we'd dream of plantation days and clumsy negro shacks.
 And strange 1t was not all dream for we had an opportunity to have that ride, minus the COW bells, for we drove over Red mountain to that "Cloverdale dairy" It was just at milk : ing time and we missed that COW pen, too. because everything is up to date there. Why, because this dairy feeds the Birmingham babies in the absence of the natural nourlshment. It has been recognized by scientists that "the milk bottle Is mightier than the sword"- therefore milk must be the first mark aimed at In the pure food hunt.
 From California to Maine we hear the cry of "poisoned milk. If not poi soned poor milk" and this must feed, keep alive and give nerve to the flu ture men and women of the nation. Is 1t a wonder in this day of enlight- enment when mothers have been de- prlved either by nature or circum- stances of the nourishment that gives their babies health and life; that in Jones valley, just few miles from the city limits of Birmingham has been and Is now in successful operation a certified milk dairy?" When we saw the barn the automobile temporarily lost It's attraction; we must see the inner workings of this progressive ne- oessity to the community.
 There were 50 pure bred cows at their
