LIGHTED FARMS
IN DENMARK

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
Denmark has among its many CO.
operative institutions twenty-one rural
electrical substations which supply
light and power to farms, and rural
communities. The stock in the COM
pany is apportioned according to the
amount of electrical fixtures on each
farm or in each village home. One
share of stock is allotted for every ell
ectric light, and ten shares for every
horse-p power in motors. The regular
central-station rate is charged for the
electricity, and the cooperative plants
earn over nine per cent. on the capital
invested"

Seated upon her seven hills, Rome
locked upon a bowed world as the pro-
phet named her the Eternal City.
Athens erected her universities, sought
out the hidden things of philosophy,
sent trembling down the ages her
poems, and thus entrenched, laughe
at the ravages of time.
So every prophet thinks his city ete.-
nal. So Americas lays claim to the
ichest fields of agriculture, widespread
and golden with abundant harvests.
She rejoces in an widening COM
MERGE, as with one hand she touches
historic Montgomery, and with the
other caresses Savannah by the sea.
Her children find all doors open to
the highest intellectual achievements,
what time they rejoice amid the halls
of the best grammar and high schools
of Georgia. But above the noise Of
the market place and the hum of man
u'actories sounds the church bell, pen
entrating every corner of this splen-
did city. Her church buildings rank
with the states best. Her people bow
reverently Sunday after Sunday at the
affairs of our fathers-altars undis-
turbed by ruthless innovations of the
changing years, and interrupted by
the wanton practices of a thoughtless
generation.
Her churches, therefore, with their
large membership composed of SO
splendid a citizenry, grit about with 4
moral tone so Incorporating, are the
basis of our Overwhelming commerce
and increasing wealth, the guardians
of our youth and the prophets of our
future greatness.

Better Conditions in The South.

1t is gratifying to note that the bet
er class of Southern papers are becor-
ing very much disguised with that pro-
pensi 5 for murder which has long
marked that section OF the countrT.
Georgia, especially, has been revelina
in crime, and Fulton county there IS
said to have broken its homicide record
during the past month Fourteen per-
sons, charged with murder, now await
trial. This condition of affairs is due
tc the ever-handy pistol. The only
remedy, says the Savannah Moning
News, lis the creation of public sem
timent that will cause everybody to
leave his pistol at home, or better,
never buy it. Fulton county's record,
when the difference in population is
considered, it not much worse than the
records of a number OF other counties.
There isn't county in the state that
hasn't room for Improvement in its rec
ord Of crimes. A healthy public senti-
ment against pistol-toting is the one
thing sure to wipe out the deplorab!'
practice"

SHOULD GROW ALFALFA

While there is danger of the boil
weevil, the farmer should give more
attention to other crops besides cot
ton. 1t is believed that alfalfa is
about one of the best crops that can
be produced and this information
comes from those who have tried it.
The farmers of Alabama should give
this subject their serious considera-
ton. If the alfalfa crop is as valuable
as is stated by those who should know
more farmers should take up its cult
walton.
Alfalfa increases farm values be-
cause it enriches the soil instead of
depicting it as grain crops do. Corn,
wheat or any other grain crop grown
on alfalfa sod yields much more alb
undantly than the same crops grown } :
the same field before alfalfa was
grown there.
Alfalfa is the premier crop-because
it excels every ether crop in yield per
acre-in feeding value-as drouth
resister-and as a soil enricher.
ITO say that the lands of the BLACK
Belt are adapted to alfalfa is to allude
to what has been demonstrated SAYS
the Geiger Times. There are in this

(Robert Browning)
Here's the garden she walked across,
Arm in arm, such a short while
since;
Hark! now l push its wicket, the
flinders the hinges, and makes them
vince.
She must have reached this shrub ere
she turned,
AS back with that murmur the
wicket swung;
Fer she laid the poor snail by chance
spurned,
To feed and forget it the leaves
among.
Down this side of the gravel walk
She went while her robes edge
brushed the box;
And here she paused in her gracious
talk
To point me moth on the milk
white phlox.
Roses, ranged in valiant row,
i will never think that she passed
you by!
She loves you, noble roses, l know;
But yonder see where the rock
plantc lie!
This flower she stopped at, finger on
lip,
STOPPED over, in doubt, as settling
it's claim;
Till she gave me, with pride to make
no slip,
Its soft meandering Spanish name
What a name! Was it love or praise!
Speech half asleep, or song half
awake
must learn Spanish one of these
days,
Only for the slow sweet names sake
Roses, if 1 live and do well,
1 may bring her one of these days
To fix you fast with as fine spell,
Fit you each with his Spanish
phrase
But do not detain me now, for she
fingers
There like sunshine over the ground;
And ever l see her soft white fingers
Searching after the bud she found.
Flower, you Spaniard! look that you
grow not,
Stay as you are, and be loved for.
ever!
Bud, if kiss you, tbs that you blow
not,
Mind! the pink shut mouth opens
never
For while thus it pouts, her fingers
wrestle,
Twinkl:ng the audacious leaves be
tween,
Till round they turn and down they
nestle,
Is not the dear mark still to D:
seen?
Where ! find her not beauties vanish
whittier J follow her beauties flee
Is there no method to tell her in Span

June's twice June since she breath
ed it with me?

TINE TO RAISE CATTLE


Department of Commerce shows the
absolute necessity of the South wax
ing up to it's opportunities in the live
stock field Georgia farmers can raise
cattle and make money doing it.
Washington, D. c., Sept. IS, 1913.
Fresh beef from the South Temper
ate Zone is now an established factor
in the import trade Of the United
States. Between 2 million and 8 mil
| lion pounds of fresh beef, practically
all of it from Australia and Argen-
tina. has entered parts of the United
States in the past three months, indi-
eating that the imports OF the current
fiscal year will amount to more than s
million pounds.
Prior to 1912 the importation OF
fresh beef averaged about one third o.
a million pounds a year. In 1912, how
ever. there was a sharp increase, the
total for that year being little over
/ million pounds, while in 1913 the
total was over million pounds.
This increase, coupled with the an
nouncement that refrigerator ships
had been put on to bring Australian
and Argentine meats to the United
States, led the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce of the Department
of Commerce to instruct the collectors
of customs at the various ports to re-
port from month to month the guam
tity of fresh beef received and the
countries from which it was brought.
These detailed figures are now in
hand for the months of June, July and
August and are interesting. They
show that the imports of fresh beef ir
June amounted to 567,205 pounds, of
which 396,913 pounds entered at the
port of San Francisco, 26,947 pounds
at Seattle and 143,013 pounds at New
VII nh oo+ropoo a. Con francisco
were from Australia, those at Seattle
from Canada, and those at New YORK
from England, but understood to be
Argentina beef, which had been sent
fror, Argentina to England and thence
to the United States. In July the
total was larger than in June, being
642,333 pounds, of which 2O1,317
pounds coming from Australia entered
at San Francisco and 30,7S4 pounds
from Australia entered at Seattle,
while 41O,232 pounds direct from Eng
land, but probably originating in Ar
gentina. entered at New York. In
August the total still grew, being for
that month S24,342 pounds, of which
404,13S pounds were from Australia
and entered by the Pacific ports and
1885, pounds entering at New York
were from England, but probably orig
mated in Argentina.
The import prices of this foreign
beef range from approximately Z cents
to 10 cents per pound, the average
valuation of the meats received during
the three months Gor which these de-
tails are available having been, from
Australia, 60 cents per pound; from
England, SO cents per pound. 1t must
be remembered, however, that these
are the figures of value in the country
which the beef is sent to the United
States and do not, therefore include
the cost of transportation or the tariff
of IL cents per pound.

The Medicinal Qualities of Weeds


The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Firesde:
Analysis of ouE edible weeds shows
that they possess powerful medicinal
qualities. The dandelion, for example,
is replete with tonic salts and is ap-
orient, besides being natural liver
medicine; the milkweed is a perfect
tonic for the kidneys and a general
cleanser of the system; the common
yarrow is good spring tonic for
children; while he'd clover is one of
the richest of all heterogeneous plants,
and nitrogen is one of the mos1

section some $4,000 acres in alfalfa
that is bringing large profits to the
farmers who cultivate it. These 25-
600 acres are distributed over a suffi-
GENTLY large area to show that the
acreage might easily be 100000 acres
The reason this is not the case is be-
cause the owners of these lands are
ignorant of the value of alfalfa and
consequently do not believe what is
written about the plant Content3d
with bidding with patches of cotton
many farmers are unwilling to go 10
the trouble of experimenting with
alfalfa They had rather stick to some
thing they half know about and live
miserably than to try to learn about
something thoroughly and that wouli
make them rich"
j. E. Buck, writing to the Home and
Farm, of Louisville, calls attention to
the 1910 census of the hay crop Of
Wisconsin, which grew $4,000 acres of
alfalfa which averaged 2.SS tons per
acre for the entire state and the aver
age acre value of the crop was SOL
If this can be done in Wisconsin l.
can be done in Alabama where the
lands are much better adapted to the
growing of alfalfa.

CHOOSING THE VISITING CARD
Many Kinds to Select From, and II
Really Becomes Simply Matter
Of Ones Own Choice,

You drop into stationer's and ask
In casual tone for new visiting cards.
The salesman inquiries: What kind,
madam" Hundreds Of cards are
whirled at you. You are informed
that Mrs. Murray-Lothrop never uses
old English lettering; you are assured
that Mrs. Rutiedge- Harmon prefers
her cards to read with three names;
those Of her husband and herself and
OF her daughter. Your husband does
not wish to use his middle name in
lull, but the man across the counter
lifts his eyebrows and tells you that
initials may have been in style when
George Washington was the first gen.
tleman of America, but they are not
used now by anyone who pretends to
know social conventions.
When you have decided on the en-.
tlrely correct thing, which is a thin
square bit of white pasteboard with
your name in full, engraved in block
letters, shaded with the address be-
meath in the corner, then you will In.
stantly wonder If it would not have
been wiser to have ordered shaded old
English lettering, which has now Ia.
ken the place of plain old English The
public will answer that question by
saying that block letters are neater,
cleaner and easier to read.
What about your husbands cards?
asks the man across the counter. Your
first Impulse is to wonder why your
husband cannot attend to his own
cards, but when you are reminded that
1t is In better taste for the cards of
the family to correspond In size and
lettering you turn to the task with
more confidence. You choose an OBJ
long bit Of pasteboard with his name
IN full preceded by Mr.. and followed
In the lower corner with his address.
You sigh. This task is done for the
year, you think. At the moment of re-
lief the man across the counter asks
whether all of your husbands cards
Shall bear the name Of his club. Now
this Is the one question for him to de.
eide. There is also the question of the
blll--it is wise plan to let him de.
eide on paying that, too--as his share
Of the bargain.
