FARM MANAGEMENT
BY D. A. SMITH.

To start out shall say that not by
any means Is everyone farmer, gar
dener, florist or horticulturist who
tills the soil.
To make a good start, the farmer
must break his land deep in the fall
or winter, when the ground is not too
wet, and prepare his land into good
seedbeds to retain the moisture.
When the season for planting comes
strong terminating seed should be
used. A variety best known to his
locality should be used, and a strain
that is best adapted to the kind of soil
that he has.
Diligent care must be exercised in
this country, both in the growing and
the cultivating of the crop, until it is
nearly matured
OF whatsoever crop you are raising,
save all that will make feed. Do not
pasture your land while the ground is
wet. Introduce system into your meth.
DDS, and keep tab on your livestock,
and in the various changes in crops as
they come in rotation, both corn and
cotton, as well as oats and potatoes
and other truck and forage crops.
The dry season lasts from seven to
nine weeks in this section, and against
It and the winter season the farmer
should have plenty Of hay housed in
his barns.
Legumes or all kinds make good
feed, and they should be properly cul-
tivated and plowed under, If not con-
verted into hay.
See that your various tools and We
hicles are properly housed, and that

your fences are in good repair and
your buildings are we'll painted.
II your land is rolling enough to-
wash, terrace 1t, for much damage can
be done in very short time. Keep
all sprouts and rubbish cut down and
thrown into the gullies. II you have
stones on your place, put them in your
terracing.
Keep first-class horses and mules.
and other livestock. A good strain of
dairy cows will help the farmers wife
to meet het expenses. Thoroughbred
hogs of some variety are paying,
proposition.
Raise your choicest heifer calves,
and improve the grade of your stock
by better breeding. Use good care in
raising the stock and see that they
are never underfed, for IL SO they will
degenerate.
Keep your yard neat in appearance
and keep your fruit trees and vineyard
properly pruned, and keep a good look
out on your whole place and its needs
In general.
Keep plenty of good dry wood cut
and piled near the house for the good
housewife. When the crops are gath
cred in shelter you can do much that
lightens her cares.

Better Corn and Pigs and Cattle
Why Not Better Babies.

In the March Womans Home Com
panion appears the first complete re-
port of a new campaign that is spring
ing up in this country with astonish-
ing virility-a campaign for better
babies" A year or two ago a woman
in Iowa, Mrs. Mary T. Watts, con
ceived the idea that in her State the
principal enthusiasm among the people
was for better cattle, better corn, bet
ter hogs and all that sort of thing
At the county and State fairs there
had been occasional baby shows" but
the whole purpose of them was to pick
out and reward babies for their beauty
and attractiveness rather than for
their health and development. In
other words the baby was simply a
side show for entertainment, and not
taken seriously, while in every other
exhibit or contest science ruled and
the object was to cultivate among the
people knowledge of the best ways to
produce better products.
Mrs. Watts saw that Iowa was neg
lecting her most valuable crop-her
crop of babies. With the cooperation
of physician, DR.. NJ. " Clark, she
organized real baby contest. The
object was to award prizes to those
children which made the best physical
showing. DR.. Clark prepared score
cards, the principal items of which
were adapted from the cards used in
Judging cattle and animals of various
kinds. These cards formed the basis
of a scientific inquiry calculated to re-
veal the strength and physical and
mental efficiency of the child exam
ined.
The results of this first contest were
appalling. They showed that Iowa had
better corn and cattle than babies, and
awakened public sentiment to wide
study of all those matters that concern
the care of children-diet, clothes,
baths. One child who had received a
low marking in the first contest won
prize at the second because the mother
had carried out the suggestions as to
the child's diet and care which she
never would have heard of had it not
been for the aroused state of the pub
lie mind.
This year many States are going to
have scientific baby shows in connec-
ton with livestock shows and State
fairs. Women's clubs, newspapers and
physicians are awake and one Of the
most important world-movements has
begun.

oNE-sIDED LAWS.

1t has always seemed to be an in
consistency of the law in prohibition
territory that 1t makes the selling OF
liquor a punishable offense, while
leaving anybody and everybody absQ;
lutely free to buy it, it, when and
where they can. 1t takes two to make
a bargain. If blind tigers" and
speak easies" did not have patrons,
there would be no blind tigers" and
speak = Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot.
]. G. Holland, sometime editor of
Scribner's Magazine and who wrote
the oft-repeated verse which begins
with God give us men," went on
record against one-sided laws, saying
among other things:
Our whole system of treating
double crimes with one-sided laws, our
whole silly policy of treating one
party to double crime as a f1end and
the other party as an angel or baby,
has been not only inefficient for the
end sought to be obtained, but disas-
trous. The man who offers a bride to
another for any purpose which in
wolves the infraction of law of the
State or Nation is, and must be, an
equal partner in the guilt; and any
law which leaves him out of the trans
action is utterly unjust on the face of
it. If it is wrong to sell liquor, it is
wrong to buy it, and wrong to sell be-
cause, and only because, it is wrong
to buy. If prostitution is wrong, it is
wrong on both sides, and he who Of
fers bride to a weak woman, with.
out home or friends or the means of
life, to break the laws of the State,
shares her guilt i'll equal measure.
Law can never be respected that is
not just. No law can be enforced that
lays it's hand upon only one of the
parties to a double crime. No such
law ever was enforced, or ever ac-
complished the purpose for which it
was enacted; and until we are ready
to have double laws for double crimes,
we stultify ourselves by our unjust
measures to suppress those crimes.
Our witnesses are all accomplices, the
moral sense of the community is
blunted and perverted, and those whom
we brand as criminals look upon our
laws with contempt of judgment and
conscience"
The logic is unassailable. If it is
a crime to sell liquor in Hill County,
why shouldn't it be a crime to buy
liquor in Hill County? The right to
buy is no more sacred than the right
to sell. DR.. Holland is right; mo law
can be enforced that lays its hand upon
only one of the parties to a double
crime. Waco Times-Herald.

which permits them to occupy two

They are also allowed space for the

Attorney General Looney holds
there is no law in Texas authorizing
social clubs to serve liquors to their
members. These clubs have fiourished
and became popular because of the
fact that they afford a place to get
booze on Sunday. For this reason, If
for no other, they should be declared
illegal, and the people will applaud
