Draft Mares in the South.

One of the big needs of the
southern farmer today, is more
and larger work stock. / will not
argue the question here, as to
whether compound, or even
1100-pound mule is big enough to
do the kind of work that should
be done on every farm. | will
simply state truth learned from
experience and observation. that
we must have work animals weigh
ing 1900 pounds to 1400 pounds
for the class of work we must do
to keep abreast of the times.
There seemed but one solution
to this question to my mind. |
must in some way procure mares
to raise my own work stock on the
farm. No longer could | afford
to raise cotton to buy mules. TIE
next question was what kind of
mares to buy. i had had some
experience with the native and
Kentucky bred driving mares.
They are all right for their pur-
pose, but their purpose is not to
do heavy farm work. What |
wanted was size sufficient to raise
heavy work animals and do heavy
farm work at the same time.
WORK AND RAISE COLTS.
In other words, / wanted mares
of some draft breed; not necessa-
rily full bloods, for they would
probably be too large to start
with; but good, heavy grade.
draft mares, to do the farm work
and raise colts at the same time.
The local markets do not offer
such animals for sale. | know
from experience that many mule
and horse dealers discourage at all
times the matter of farmers rails
ing their own horses and mules.
This may influence some. Then
there has not been the demand by
the farmer trade for this kind of
all animal. And still again, good

V ZEN THE STARS ARE
IN THE QUIET SKIES.

When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most pine for thee;
Bend OH me then thy tender eyes.
AS stars look on the sea!
For thoughts, like waves, that glide by
night
Are stillest when they shine;
Mine earthly love lies hushed in light
Beneath the heaven of thine.
There is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped in
sleep
Sweet spirit. meet ME then!
There is all hour when holy dreams
Though slumber fairer glide;
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be by my side,
My thoughts of these too sacred are
For daylight's common beam;
can but know thee as my star.
My angel and my dream!
When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
AS stars look on the sea!

HELPING TO PAY THE BILL
Next to Hcredity Principal Cause Of
insanity Is Use Of AIcohol. Says
Dr. Ferris.

America is not fnfrequcntly accused
OF worshiping the almighty dollar" to
the exclusion of higher interests and
pursuits, and the accusation is not en-
tirely unjustified. But at times one is
forced to doubt whether the nation, as
a whole. really has clear conception
of the value of that all-powerful coin.
It is said on good authority that ap-
proximately $21, 900, 900 is paid by the
PEOPLE of this nation every year for
Aae support of the insane, and rarely
do you hear any taxpayer or decent
citizens Directing to this enormous tax
for the care of these unfortunates. Yet

to speak with authority, says that
next to heredity the principal cause
of insanity is the use of alcohol, not
necessarily in excess but most fire.
quently in moderation"-an evil which
society not only tolerates but upon
which it sets the seal of its approval
by legalizing the business OF making

Lack of Faith,

There is no greater unbelief than
dependency" says Muller, That at.
titude of mind can be easily traced to
lack of faith. The Bible somewhere
says rejoicing in hope" It mentions
it as one of the Christian virtues.
Some people go about with frown or
scowl on their faces in order possibly
to appear as standing protest
against the sin of the world. But it
works the other way. There is moth

WHO is THE GUILTY PERSON?
Crimes While Man Who Is Most
Responsible Goes Free.

No one knows better than the men
who preside over our courts Of justice
that the criminal who should be on
trial before them is, in the majority
of cases, the legalized liquor traffic.
Every day." says Judge Pinckney Of
the Chicago Juvenile court, there are
cases brought before me of young
boys who have broken the law while
under the influence Of liquor. They
stand the brunt of their actions, while
the one upon whom the greater re-
sponsibility should fall goes free
And upon whom falls the response
bility for the, legalized liquor traffic:
Of the drink-made criminal it may be
said, as good Bishop Myriel in Hugo's
story said of Jean Vatican. This soul
is full of darkness and sin is commit
ted, but the guilty person is not the
man who commits the sin but he who
produces the darkness" In dealing
with crime then the question to be
considered is who reduces the dark
ness?

REALIZE VALUE OF
BEAUTIFUL YARDS
Farmers Gradually Awakening to
Importance of Ornamental
Part of Farms.
By r. G. wEArHERsroNE.>

The baroness of the average farm
dooryard is a notorious fact in this
country But within the past few
years the beginning of a change has
come.
Farmers mere and there are begin

mental part of farm life--the beauty
part of which has heretofore been lost
sight of III the grim struggle for land
and dollars.
Now that the land is gained and the
dollars are rolling in, the longing to
Fix things up a Bit is uppermost..
So, dotted at irregular intervals
around the country one can now see
beautiful examples of ornamental
yard planting cheering reminders of
what the United States may look like
when majority of the. farms are
similarly adorned.
And each present beauty spot is an
example and an incentive to the for
nation of other beauty spots; each
farmer who fixes up his yard" un-
consciously influences his neighbors
to do likewise.
Why not start an example this year,
right in your own yard? Don't wait;
order a few plants and vines from a
reliable nursery Here Is a good list
of varieties to select from:
Vines-Crimson rambler, climbing
rose; yellow rambler, climbing rose;
prairie queen, pink climbing rose:
clematis. Jackmanii. purple flower:
clematis, Paniculata. white flowers:
honeysuekle, red or white flowers:
wisteria. Chinese. blue flowers.
Shrubs-Althea, pink or white
flowers; Spirea, Van Houtts. white
flowers; towering almond, pink or
white flowers; hydrangea. Paniculata,
white flowers; SNOWFALL, Japan; white
