WORLD MISSION OF CHIvALRY
or riuch Worth If Only to Create the
Useful Romance of
Action.

Chivalry served to draw out and de-
velop those free, bold spirits whose
talents could not have been evoked by
the disputations OF the schoolmen nor
the notifications Of the religious zeal
OTIS, says the Engineering Magazine 1t
created a romance OF action to match
the saints moral paradise and evoked
poetry and the arts to celebrate it's
charms. The love of the beautiful
which 1t begot caused hospitable re-
ception to be given in Europe to the
refnements brought from the East by
the returning crusaders, which caused
the first slight stirring Of international
trade.
The enthusiasm which the many
sided IDEAL of chivalry evoked with
its galaxy of virtues, may be seen, in
literature, in the, unfolding of the
themes of the simple Aryan folk tales,
and the prose romances of the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries. into the SEN
suous beauty Of Provencal poetry and
the delicacy and pathos of Plutarch
and Dante. Chiyalry embellished with
romance the lives of its half-legendary
founders. Charlemagne, Siegfried and
Arthur. 1t supplied the conception of
virtue sung in Chaucer's Pilgrimage,
Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and Spen-
ser's "Faerie Queene." In the world
Of action chivalry animated the cru.
sades, dispensed Justice throughout
Europe for 400 years, purified court
life and made much of the warfare of
the middle ages peculiarly humane and
noble. Its enthusiasm burned into
brilliancy in such characters as Rich.

is loath to break away from the old one crop system to which he has always been accustomed Progressive farmers who have established dairy herds and men from distant states who have bought land and arc entering the dairy field are meet ing with success beyond their greatest expectations.
 One of the most prominent dairymen of Illinois, H. B. Gurler. came down into the black belt country a few years ago and bought farm of 200 or 900 acres He began improving the farm in con servative way and started a small dairy herd. In short time his investment was yielding such satisfactory dividends that he decided to make a permanent home. His original purchase he found inadequate and his holdings now include upward of 1000 acres, which he is nov improving with the aid of the dairy COW. Mir. Gurler has learned that he can grow just as good corn in the black belt of Alabama and Mississippi as he formerly grew on the high priced Illinois land. He Is making what the neighbors consider a phenomenal success with his new fields of alfalfa and soy beans on lands which had been greatly depleted by continuous cotton crops.
 Another very successful dairyman in this region is George A. Hummer. who formerly lived in Iowa. Mr. Hummer
 has from 50 to 60 Jersey cows in milk.

 Marengo. Wilcox, Lowndes, Sumter, Pick ems, Montgomery, Bullock Macon But Ter It has become known as the black soil belt. It is a prairie country, with an altitude of several hundred feet, and 1t possesses perfect natural drainage the
 surface being slightly rolling. It is a section that closely resembles the prairie regions of Illinois and Iowa. Because of it's peculiar conditions of soil and
 climate and the market demands for more dairy products, this region is bound to develop into great dairy country. The soil produces wonderful yields of alfalfa and many varieties of clover and grasses.
 An insistent call is going out from the south for more dairies to supply the constantly increasing demand for good dairy products. But the southern farmer

 MT. Urban was always late to dinner. He arrived home on certain evening, as usual, 20 minutes behind hand His wife was entertaining MT. and Mrs. For tune. Greeting the guests with efrusiye cordiality. he said:

 Mrs. Urban was spirited woman This unjust accusation came near over- throwing her courtesy. Her lips parted, then shut decisiyely; but a slight frown fingered on her forehead.
 Little Tommy read her face. He knew all about his fathers poor memory. and he felt it his duty both to refresh 1t ard to defend his mother.

From three to six tons may be cut an acre and as pasture 1t will support stock 10 months of the year. Johnson grass is raised to some extent, growing from three to six feet tall in favorable seasons and yielding from three to five tons of hay an acre in two or three cuttings. If cut and cured at the proper time-before 1t gets too ripe--lt is about equal to timothy for cattle feeding.

ENVY STAY-AT-HOMES
Are Moments of Recompense When an Unexpected Bit of Sport Turns Up-Search for Colds Is
 Always Alluring

There must be few men who have not wished at some time in their lives to ex- change the dull monotony of life in a great city for an untrammelled life in the open air, and the thrilling adventures which are usually supposed to be the daily lot of pioneer in a wild country writes Malcolm Pastal Hyatt in Golfers Weekly. Yet how many of those men would change places with the pioneer if they could look behind the scenes and see how he has to live and how many discomforts he has to endure in order to earn a more or less honest living? He enveys the stay-at-home man just ss much as that man ,envies him. and longs for wife and children, good food and a watertight roof over his head

In the middle of the village, and not far from my hut. is a great spreading tree, under the shade oe which meet the few inhabitants of the Village. Here the women pound LID the yams and guinea corn which forms their staple food; here, also, collect all the an- finals of the village, evil-looking little black goats, fowls, and the inevitabi pariah dogs. Weaver birds swarm in the tree, gorgeous little creatures, all golden yellow, brown and black, and they light like little yellow devils. Swallows roos.

The roof leaks in dozen dif- ferent places, but one gets used to that, and 1t only becomes really annoying when the blankets get wet, or too much water falls on the table at meal times Not that it could make much difference to the flavor of the food as a menu card Is seldom necessary, breakfast in the bush being always composed of fried eggs and yam, and probably chicken "cutlegs' (Anglice cutlets). while lunch and dinner also consist of chicken and yam.

and intensely interesting to ride, at the Lead of long string of carriers. through rolling Undiscovered country broken here and there by rugged granite hills. past fields of cotton and guinea eofn crossing boulder-strewn river beds, dry half the year. but filled with roaring torrent of brown water in the rains, to halt at last for the day in some strange little mud-walled village. where the lepers sit in the shade by the gate, exhibiting hands without fingers, feet without toes and dull sightless eyes. each with his little bowl into which charitable trav elers may drop few cowrie shells. But the old traveller, though all in the days work, it becomes monotonous; the sun is hot, the flies are maddening, the saddle very hard, and he would give lot fer the chance to travel by the humble bus once more.
 Buffalo Hunting
 To all men the search for gold has an almost irresistible fascination, in spite of difficulties and drawbacks. and they are many. The bush is thick, the grass often 10 feet high, matted together at the bottom with last years dead grass, and in places bound together into an almost impenetrable mass with tough vines and creepers.J And perhaps after struggling through several hundred yards the stream bed proves to be muddy or there is a long deep pool. then there is nothing to do but to go back. dripping wet from head to foot, and try again at some other point, until the gold bearing gravel is found. Truly prosbectors life has it's drawbacks. Yet to a man who loves sport there come opportunities which more than repay him for hardships and discomfort. Such an opportunity occurred to me a few weeks ago: after a long weary walk through a bad country where not stream showed a color of gold in the pan, I came on fresh buffalo spoor. A few minutes brought me up to them in the dense bush. quick shot was followed instantly by savage charge from the wounded beast; another shot at short range, and the great an- imal came down with a crash. 1t was all over in a few seconds, but it was an ex- perience one does not forget.
 The Call Irresistible
 Again. an elephant passed near the camp at night; three hours spooring through long grass and dense jungle brought me up to where he stood, looking like, huge mass of grey granite. One shot did it that time.
 We all envy the men who live easy, comfortable lives at home, and yet we cannot leave the bush for long. It is pleasant beyond all words to return to wife and children, to cosy fireside and good food but the call comes to us again in time and go we must. Perhaps in years to come we shall not hear it so plainly, but there will be younger, strong CT men to take our places. while we wait peacefully at home among our dear ones for the last call of all.
