TAKING OVER JEFFERSON's
HOME.

Thomas JetTerson's home. at Mon
ticello, now owned by Hon. jefferson
Levy, of New York, having been Of
fered to the United States Govern
ment at a price that seems quite
reasonable, there is little doubt that
at the next session Of congress, ar
engagements will be completed for its
purchase and transfer to the Gov
eminent.
Monticello is a shrine, the acquisi-
ton Of which at any time by the
United States would be desirable.
The noble mansion which Mr.. Jeffer-
son called home, where he died. and
near which he was buried, stands in
excellent repair an inspiration
specimen Of the classic architecture
of the Old South. 1t would be a
fitting summer home for presidents.
and a Mecca for all patriotic Ameri-
cans.
As writer Of the Declaration Of In
dependence, as Secretary of State
and as President, Thomas jefferson
left upon this nation ana upon the
world the imprint of his passionate
genius for Democracy, He was,
above all. the first great believer in
the ability Of the people to govern
themselves He was the most pro-
gressive man Of his day. He stood
firmly against abuses handed down
from the English system, for orderly
systems of law, and for a govern
ment springing from the consent Of
the governed, Thomas Jefferson
was the first Democrat, and it will
be especially appropriate and fitting
for a Democratic administration,
under the leadership Of n President
who is himself second Thomas JEFF
ferson, to buy the old home Of our
third President and dedicate it to the
American people.
The name Of Thomas jefferson has
forever taken its place high among
the inches in the temple Of fame, and
his fame was won by devotion and
service. We will do well to take
Monticello. where he sleeps, as a pos
session of the great people he loved
so well and served with so much f.
deity.

Some Fish Story.

Mr.. ]. H. Farmer, of Sidon, Miss,
who has been seining Six Mile lake re-
lates the following concerning his
catch of gar. He caught two hundred
monster gars. The forty-seven largest
weighed a total of $500 pounds. Thirty
of these monsters were caught at one
haul, two Of them weighed over two
hundred pounds each and the smallest
weighed seventy-fve. A great quars
tity of spoon-biil catfish were also
caught. The seine used was fiye-inch
mesh, 200 yards long and eighteen feet
deep. 1t would not catch fish under
six pounds, 50 all game fish and small
er buffalo escaped. The seining of the
lake and destroying Of the monster
gars will greatly improve the same as
fishing lake. The gar is very destruc-
tive to fish Of all kinds as he lives off
his fellow creatures of the fnny tribe
and it is said that one of these monster
gars will destroy as much as ten
pounds of white perch day. 1t would
be a good thing if all lakes Of the
country could be seined with a seine
of the size mesh used by Mr.. Farmer
in Six Mile and all these monster gars
and spoon-biIl cats caught out of them.

A New Pest for Farmers.

George H. Edwards, railroad COM
missioner for the middle district, and
whose home is at McCool, Alfalfa coun-
ty, states that the farmers of his sec
ton of the State are liable to lose
their entire crops Of corn, because of
the advent of a heretofore unheard Of
worm. This worm is less than half an
inch long, of peculiar pink color,
and makes a nest or web at the butt
end of the cob, from whence it makes
excursions up the ear, devouring the
kernel Of the grean, and as a matter
of course, running the corn. The worm
finally becomes a kind of weevil, brown
of color, but very much like the fa-
miliar corn weevil, which is black.
Mr.. Edwards says that few days
since a farmer drove into McCool with
a load of corn TO SELL He did not know
there was anything the matter with
his corn, but a crowd gathered around
his wagon to investigate, and found
the load had been eaten up. As a
remedy or preventative, the farmers
are buying great quantities of carbon
bisulphide, which is plased in the crib.
The odor is enough to make river
change its course, and it is believed
will kill the worms. The corn crop
in that section of the State was fine
one this year and the farmers were in
high spirits until this new pest made
its appearance.

FARM MACHINERY
Improved Farm Machinery Reduces
Cost Of Production-Lessens
Farm Drudgery.
BY Dan scoates, Professor Of Asrieui-
tural Engineering, A. & M.
COLLEGE.

BY Dan scoates, Professor Of Asricul-
turaI Engineering, A. & N.
College.
Do you know that America would
soon starve to death If 1t wasn't for
improved farm machinery? When the
first successful grain harvester was
invented America was starting to go
hungry for bread. Hand methods
couldn't reap and thresh enough grain
to supply the demand. In 1886 1t took
three hours Of hand labor and one
hour of animal labor to produce q
bushe1 of wheat; today 1t takes ten
minutes of hand labor and one and
one-third hours of animal labor In
1880 the labor to produce one bushel
cost Is cents, today it costs nine
cents. Yet farm labor is more ex-
pensive today than yesterday. I'm
proved farm machinery has made it
possible to produce cheaper and in
larger quantities.
Then we want farm machinery be-
cause it will reduce the cost of pro-
ducing a bushel of corn, oats or what
not. That is the principal reason.
Some machines do the work better
than the old hand methods, for in
stance, the manure spreader-it will
spread the manure more even than
you can possibly do 1t by hand, and
further, it will do 1t much quicker
But If, on the other hand, you take
plows, you can do just as good plow-
ing with a six-inch walking plow as
you can with 14-inch riding plow,
but 1t will take you longer and thus
will increase the cost Of producing
your busheI of corn or bale of cot
ton. You know that the difference
between the cost of producing the
bale and the price you get when sell
ing it is your profit Therefore II 10
to your interest to get the cost OF
production down to the lowest pos
sible point. The same thing said Of
pIowe is true Of cultivators; 1t is GO
ing to take you Just twice as long to
cultivate field with ore-horse cuI-
tfvator as it will with a twC-horse.
Improved farm machinery allows each
farm worker to direct more power,
that is where the saving comes. Here
In Mississippi each farm worker has
about twenty-six dollars worth OF
farm machinery to use and one horse
to work with; he works about fifteen
acres. In Iowa each farm worker has
1886 worth Of farm machinery to use
and four horses to operate 1t with;
ne works so acres. The Mississippi
worker has an income of s16S; the
aowan s611. (These figures are
some that the United States depart

ing mans job" means that he shall
work out real problems in real things,
not commit statements dealing with
artificial situations. This will arouse
interest and the interest will extend
to other work at school and to the

Statistics show that pupils taught
in this way progress faster in the
formal studies, reading, writing and

devoted wholly to acquiring the read

must deal with everyday living is the
