Athens, Augusta, Columbia, Anderson,

Augusta and Columbia wanted to

letter from President Corish after All

to put first-class team in the field,

THAT ABANDONED FARM.

know four men and one woman
who actually have acquired aban-
doned farm lands in the East, with
the idea that they are going to re-
tuvenate those farms and grow
healthy and wealthy in the process.
Also, / am acquainted with about
nineteen more people who have the
same idea, but have not yet backed
1t up with their money. How many
times have you thought you would
like to do it yourself?
There is a fatal fascination in
farming for most city people who
have had an opportunity to become
acquainted with the pleasant side of
this oldest of the arts.
What then are the possibilities of
buying a worn out farm in a good
neighborhood, near a good city, for
about $25 an acre, and by careful,
scientific farming make a living, and
at the same time increase the pro-
ductivity of the soil to a point where
II is worth 500 an acre?
The success OF such a venture de-
ponds, primarily, upon two general
factors-the degree of the lands ex-
haustion, and the ability and patience
of the man who undertakes the job.
Nitrogen can be returned to the
land easier and cheaper than either
of the other two important plant
foods, hence one need not worry over
it's lack in the worn soil If potash
and phosphorus be very deficient, 1t is
a much more serious question, be-
cause they must be purchased, and in
many cases the cost of the fertilizer
will equal the value of the crop.
The man who undertakes such a
task must be prepared to wait long
for results, and work hard while he
waits 1t cannot be done well by
hired help entirely, and final success
is a matter of years. Worn soil,
which still possesses the ability to
come back in a mighty good in
vestment at the regular price, and
the quickest way to bring most worn
soils back to a profitable producing
point is to feed them the necessary
fertilizers to make them produce
crops while you are waiting, and In
addition, put on all of the barnyard
manure, and turn under all of the
green clover crops that you possibly
can. Many a man has started a
dairy on such farm, buying most Of
his feed, and brought the land back
to fertility with the manure from the
dairy herd.

SPRING FLoWER

Spring means little to the city
dweller, save light suits, Easter hats,
and the end of the coal pile, but to the
fortunate mortal who lives in the
country or to the one who remembers
glorious country springs, 1t means the
rejuvenation of the whole scheme of
life.
The dear notes of the first migra-
tory birds seem like whispers of heav-
emily voices, and the awakening green
things lend us new strength to win
hfe's battles. To me, however, the
spring flowers bear the sweetest mes
bage from the promised land, and he
who has not learned to appreciate II
Is indeed unfortunate.
On the shady side of ravine and hill
side, come the daintily tinted and per
fumed hepaticas. Only in the wild
woods, away from the haunts of man,
do they dwell. and one must search
carefully beside the dwindling snow
bank under wet leaves TO uncover
their lovely beauty. White, pink, blue,
lavender and rose tints appear side by

away their winter covering of fallen
oak leaves, and form little tent for
the tender blossoms to hide in. Only
after the violets come do the hepa-
ticas stand forth, where all may see
their chaste beauty.
The sunny slope brings forth the
trilliums-white and red, and the curl
Gus yellow blossoms that the children
call yellow trilliums To most city
jewellers these and the violets are the
first spring flowers because they are
more abundant, and easier to find than
the earlier blossoms
The blue and yellow violets spring
up about the same time as the trilli-
ums, and no flower is deareE to the
heart Of the childhood.
The dog-tooth violets grow in the
deep woods and in certain carefully
guarded secret spots bloom the won
derful spicy shooting stars.
Late in the spring, long after the
May apples have dropped their waxy
petals, the very fortunate seeker may
come across a yellow or pink mecca
sin, near where the shooting stars
grow.

PIMPLES ALL OVER FACE

and more happily than they will in the
city. / can state definitely from per
sonal acquaintance with hundreds OF
such cases that the average factory
hand will save more money, lead
more healthful life, live better, and
neither he nor his family will work
any harder In the country than they
now do in the city.
They will be farther away from the
corner saloon and the nickel show,
but the last two institutions will be
the only losers by this separation and
the whole family will be the better
for it,
No family should move to the coun-
try unless the man is ready to work
as long as there is work to do and the
woman is willing to do the washing
whenever necessary. Neither would
! advise them to make such a move
unless they love the country and
know something of actual farm work,
for discomfort, loneliness and ignor-
ance of how to do the work have been
the prime cause of the failures of city
farmers.
II you and your wife wish to get
ahead in the world and see no open
ing in the city, one good way to get
start in the right direction is to get
job as farm hand under some good
farmer where you will have a tenant
house for your family. Work hard,
keep your eyes open and learn all you
can about farming. When you have
accumulated enough money to keep
your family a season, rent some good
farm on shares, put in your crops.
work hard and trust In the Lord.
Remember that farming is one of
the most complicated of businesses,
involving buying. selling and handling
help, as well ae conquering nature,
but your living is sore. Almost every
farmer who did not iUherit his farm
built it up year by yeSS Wy just this
kind of process, and yoa can do the
same in the same way.

THE CITY MAN ON THE FARM.

More and more the interest of the
city dweller is directed toward the
land. Economic pressure is forcing
the wage Garner and the salaried man
to consider the possibilities of getting
more actual value from his work in
the country and he is beginning to
realize that thirty-flve dollars a month
with living expenses at twenty dollars
a month is a better proposition than
one hundred dollars a month with liv-
ing expenses at ninety dollars.
Any man who takes reasonable care
OF himself and is saving In disposition
can earn all he needs of the necessi-
ties of life for himself and his family
on the farm. He may have to put In
longer hours and his family may have
to do more manual work than they
now do, but they will all live longer

The 14-inch guns, built and building
for Panama are Of a superior type.
These weapons weigh 1877, 300 pounds
each, or trifie over 81 tons-less than
half that OF the giant 16-inch gun. New
ertheless these newer weapons huri
their 1900 pound projectiles with suf-
hcient velocity to penetrate at 5000
yards matter of 1871 inch Of Krupp
armor This means that at that range
the shot is travelling with a velocity
Of 1860 feet a second.
The pent up energy in the shell at
the instant 1t leaves the rifle amounts
to the equivalent of a colliding force
OF 5S,528 foot tons, and the disappear
ing carriages which bear these weap-
ons must work smoothly and with
out injury when absorbing the recoil
involved. We stand alone practically
in the possession of this sort Of car
riage for big guns While some OF
these carriages have met the tests
of the proving grounds none of them
has been subjected at target practise
to the tax of their service charges,
and 1t is this latter which will rep
resent what may be expected In time
of actual battle.
Only an Aeropiane Can See Them.
Because of their particular manner
OF action the mortar does not now
need disappearing carriage. Groups
of four of these weapons are placed
In sunken batteries technically termed
mortar pits and the enemy never has
e. chance to see them at all. At
Panama the sea approaches to the
canal will be theoretically divided into
a series OF small squares, each of
which will have its counterpart upon
a plotting board.
The range finders will locate the po-
sition of the advancing ships and at
the right instant four of these great
mortars will roar from their pits as
they hurl as many shells skyward,
seemingly, anywhere but at the foe.
But If the men responsible for spot
ting the target have done their work
well, the proJectiles, after describing
the path upward, will start earthward
directly at their objective. II they
hit destruction will follow, for each
of the missiles will carry "a heavy
charge of high explosive.
Perhaps you think this roundabout
way OF reaching the target is not a
promising one, but, according to the
official report of the war department,
remarkably accurate practise has been
obtained by expert gunners Of the
coast artillery. They are trained to
fire at moving targets and, despite the
difficulties of aiming from a hole in
the ground at an objective which the
gunners themselves do not see,, NOR
tar crews have been able to make
the astonishing score Of seven hits in
eight shots at long range OF nearly
six miles, or a distance OF about TO-
900 yards.
No dreadnaught today would care to
invite mortar attack, because none
of them Is proof against this sort
of assault, and that means that they
must try to damage the Panama de-
lenses when lying farther seward.

advice. Looks are occasionally decep.

mind?"
Shortly after strikingly handsome
Gaiety girl had taken unto herself win.
some but not too opulent peer, two promi
nent society women happened to talk IN
my hearing of the manner in which the
new peeress had acquitted herself while
entertaining at her husbands country
seat.
"All things considered, think she has
been a success" was the patronizing
verdict OF one. whereas the other, who
had met her out at hounds, said: "She
carried SO much scent we could not get
on to the fox"
To-day 1t can no longer be said Of the
chorus girl that she Is "all things to oil
men," Since the role she plays Is es-
sentially feminine one, sex attraction
inevitably forms some part OF her ap-
peal. But the spell woven by the pretty
woman in the musical play Is much the
same as that exercised by the pretty
women in all other walks of life. The
reason why the pretty women of the
musical play attract great attention Is
because SO many OF them gather on the
stage at one time.
Finally one little word in the ear of the
prude, regarding The lady OF the chorus.
Spare your contempt Of her because,
often, 1t Is so little deserved that, II she
is sensible, 1t passes her by.
