The rumor that Miss Jessie Fayne
was hecitating between two lovers had
some foundation. She was not en-

would make q match. For months he
had had no rival Then young Albert
Morton came from the city TO visit rel
atives. He had been introduced to
Miss Jessie and had fallen in love-

"Mr. Norton" said the young man
after drawing a long breath, "if
should want to take your wolf for a
walk this evening"
Take him right along"
At seven o'clock that evening the
skaters began to gather on the pond
and at the same hour came the report

In olden days there existed in
many places a belief that the
girl who was not kissed under
the mist eloe duuiug the .'a,sj-
mas season would not be mar
ried during the succeeding year.
In such localities kissing a firl
would be a positive kindness.
There is a story of one damsel
who, to make sure, wore mistle-
toe on her hat.

"Bosworth has a unique idea that he
is going to put into effect in his new

DO you mean having the garage in

"Oh, no, that has been done before.

dread in his heart. 1t was an inher-

OF sudden, after one of his glances
back, he caught the girl by the arm
and almost shrieked out:
"The wolf! The wolf! He is after

"He can't bel" she replied.
But he was, and it they had looked
a little closer they might have made
out a skater not far behind the ami

ed the young man as he twisted the
girl about in his excitement.
"Then fight him off"
Three seconds later Mr.. Morton
was skating for the shore, and alone!
The wolf came up and began circling
the girl, as if preparatory to a spring,
but before he had closed in the skater
arrived and stretched him dead with
bullet from his pistol

For o person keeping five or
more cows, il is economy to own
a hand separator. According to
the Purdue Experiment Station,

is saving of $3.50 to S7.C0 per
cow per year, over the gravity

separator produces a better
quality of cream and a more
satisfactory thickness, removts S
many bacteria and other i'm

milk should be separated while

CARE OF MILK AND CREAM ON
THE FARM.
BY w. S. Cunningham, in charge Of
Dairying.

Mechanic Arts.

Nearly all changes which oc-
cur in milk or its products are
due to the action of bacteria.
Becteria are very small micro
scopic single-celled plants, which
are found alonst everywhere in
tture. They are most abund-
It where there is dust and
AGSh; and if subjected to favor
able conditions, as warmth,
food and moisture, multiply
very rapidly, the resulting pro-
geny of one bacterium often a.
mounting to many million in
twenty-four hours.
Milk is an ideal medium in
which bacteria can grow, and if
it is kept warm they develol
rapidly, feeding OH the milk
sugar and converting it into
Tactic acid. The acid causes
he milk to become sour and
LdrdIes or rrecipitates the curd

Bacteria grow very slowly or
not at all at low temperatures.
Since all freshly drawn milk
contains bacteria, it is import
ant that it should be cooled
quickly to forty or fifty degrees,
to prevent their development.
Qrif the milk is separated, the
{cream should be cooled if it is
s desired to keep it sweet. Milk

may fall into the milk, or un-
clean utensils. To limit the

COWS should be well groomed
and their flanks and udder
dampened before they are milk

clean suit and have clean hands.
The teats should never be wet
while milking. To avoid dust

milked.
The milk should be removed

If the gravity method of separa.

should be cooled quickly to 40 tc

are three different forms of the
gravity system: the shallow
pan or crock," the "deep set

The last mentioned is not worthy
of discussion, as it is wastefu
and non efficient.

Local and Personal
The Friends of the Farmer

The plan of the Saint Louis
bankers to assist the cotton farm
ers of the South is a further in
dication of the nation wide in
teresr which is being manifested
in the problems Of the men who
follow the plow.
The movement is not intended
as a plan for purchasing cotton,
but is designed rather to make
available a fund of $3.50, ,0OC
to loan on cotton at not to ex-
ceed six cents per pound for the
purpose of making cotton a
LIQUID asset, stabilizing its price
and bringing about normal con-
ditions again.
It has been said that it takes
great calamities to develop our
friends and the present crisis is
proof positive that the farmer
has friends in every line of in
dustry who are willing to share
his misfortunes and tighten his
burdens. Strong men are strong
only as they cooperate with
other men, and the spirit OF
friendliness on the part of the
business man towards the far
mer argues we'll for the agricul-
turaI interests of the nation.

Illiteracy Among South Caro-.
lima Rural Population

Washington, D. G. Oct. 20
The need Of more and better
rural schools in South Carolina
is made manifest by conditions
revealed in a recent census re-
port showing the per centage of
illiterates among the native
white farming class of this State.
The figures show that the per
centage of illiteracy in the rural
districts of South Carolina is lis
and 3.9 per cent in the cities and
villages Of the State. South
Carolina has 276,900 illiterates
and 249,27 of them live on the
farms. There are 12l, 1884 boys
and men and 127 44443 girls and
women on the farms of this
State that can neither read nor
