the general reputation Of being an up

Along the Right Line.
Mr.. John ]. Matthews, Of Ebenezer,
was telling The Enquirer the other day
of an Ebenezer farmer who has six
mule colts, the oldest two years old,
and all Of which have cost him up to
the present time hardly more than so
many heifers. This farmer, says Mr..
Matthews. already has two acres Of al
falfa that has taken good hold and
which Is doing we'll, and last fall he put
in six acres more. OF course the ex-
pertinent is still an experiment; but the
outlook Is that II Is going to be a sue
cess. IF could call back few years"
said Mr.. Matthews, Il would certainly
follow along this very line. 1t looks to
me like about the easiest way Of max
