IS TO FiRNERS' READING.

The Progressive Farmer, that farn
paper which lives ap to its name in
every way and gives the farmers OF
the South every week an abundance
of good advice and information, il.
recent Issue urged ths farmers to
spend at least s. a year per horse for
newspapers, and s. PER hors: for books
for the use Of his family. Tie suS-
gestion is well within the limits Of
good reason, and there are few farm
ers who will not get as much cut Of
such an investment as they could get
! out Of a similar amount invested in
any other way. BY reading the better
class papers-not, as the Progressive
Farmer expresses it, "a cheap monthly,
with sensational stories and fortune
telling articles and fraudulent free
advertisements"-b real newspapers,
church papers, farm papers of the type
of the Progressive Farmer, and the like,
a farmer will reap great benefit in the
course Of year.
These are words of good advice to
the farmers who read the Raleigh agrl-
cultural weekly. to which we have re-
ferred:
eve never can make the South what
it ought to be, you never can make
your neighborhood what it ought to be,
until the farmers get rid of this idea
that their minds are not worth feeding
A man has got to believe in himself
more than that, must have more re-
spect for himself, more respect for his
brain and his mind, before he can
amount to anything. He must believe
that his own mind and his childrens
minds deserve the best intellectual
food he can finland plenty of it. He
wouldn't let his children go with two
meals a day when they need three.
Why, then, should he compel them to
get along with only an occasional
monthly or semi-monthly feast Of in
tellectual food instead of seeing to it
that the best papers to be had come to
his home every week?
''No hard and fast rule can be laid
down, but reasonable minimum can
be fixed, and we would say that no
man is doing right by himself or his
family if he spends less than $40 a
year for papers, magazines and books
for each horse he works-say S. for
papers and s. for books for the one
horse farmer: $40 for papers and $40
fer books for the two-horse farmer,
etc. etc.
Five dollars year per horse for
papers; s. a year pr horse FOR books

Roup may be known from an often

and is difficult to cure. Remove all
the healthy fowls. Put the affected
ones in warm, dry shed or roomy
coop.

with warm water, using a small
syringe to do SO; then put a piece of
camphor the size of a hickory nut
into one quart Of boiling water. and
hold the fowls head over it for ten
minutes; repeat three times a day.
Also give one teaspoonful of cod liver
Oil at a dose twice a day. If the
swelling closes the eyes, open them

MANILA A MODEL FOR CHINA

Pekin, China.-The new republic Of
China indeed will have to make some
dizzy strides In civic improvements
to bring her streets up to the stand

cities Of China are notorious to trav-

crooked than the meander of a noun

traffic only. This condition prevails

fences have been erected, but these,
however, do not in the least prevent
the visitors from enjoying an unob-
structed view of the animals. In fact.
the bars and fences, which always
give the impression of cages, have in
many instances been done away with
and In their place deep and wide
water basins with high walls have
been erected, thus completely seperat-
ing the animals from the spectator.
The polar bears can be seen under
a wooded hill in a grotto of rocks and
not far from them are the sea lions,
the diving tricks of which are causing
the public, and especially the children,

The wild sheep from the African
mountains and the chamois of the
Bavarian Alps are found in suitable
surroundings of wood clad hills, and
1t Is extremely interesting to watch
these animals climbing and jumping
up and down the steep rocks.
A new feature of these geological

dark named lions and the stealthy
forms Of tigers haunting the ruins.
