 Of Almighty Dollar

 MT. Farrell is now visiting this city in the interests of his business. He will go to other cities in the Northwest and to the coast cities of California before returning to the East.

RECOLLECTIONS OF

An Incident Showing The
PreciousneSS Of Salt In

Editor RecOFd;nnln the year 1865
our folks got without salt, and none
was to be had in this part OF the
country for either love or money
Every family was about like ouT
own-without salt.
1t was a very bad thing for the
culinary department to be without
salt, and my father told me he
wanted me to be on the lookout
and see if couldn't secure some.
1t was not very safe for my father
to leave home, for fear he might
be made prisoner and sent away

to Batesville to try to get some salt
there.

Jesse McCaleb, who was here on a
visit to his brother, Col. Jas. H. Nc
Caleb and family, to 20 along with
me. We went to the home of Maj.
Sims, ten miles north of Batesville,
and stopped there for the night.
Knowing that Maj. Sims was ac-
Quainted with nearly'every man in
BatesviIle, told him what was
going there for and asked him if he
could give me any information.
He said he knew of no place to get
salt in the town; that he had tried
and failed and was now about out.
He requested also that if | should
find any salt to be sure and get him
some if possible, and he said he
would go with his wagon at any
time and haul all was able to Sc
cure to his house.
We left Mai. Sims the next morn
ing and went into Batesville. in
terviewed every merchant there
and failed to find salt. Neither
could any of them tell me where |
might find some salt. Finally in
the evening of the third day a
friend told me he believed that old
man Robert Smith had some salt
hidden away, and soon | saw Mr.
Smith on the street was on my
horse at the time, but went tc
where he was and privately told
him what | wanted. He quickly
looked around to see if any one hae

LOUISIANA MAN

Former Citizen Of Sharp

Editor Record:-I would not at
tempt to write anything that would
influence any one to leave that dear
old land where | have so many
friends, but | will give you few
facts about the possibilities of Louis
lana.
One man here with four good
horses handles 100 acres of rice.

man rents land the landlord fur.

was talking to a renter a few
days ago, and here is what he did.
He cultivated 110 acres last year
that produced 8 barrels of rice per
acres, which sold for S410 per
barrel. This brought him S4,059.
He got half of this for his labo:,
which was S2,029. His expenses
we're $3.50, which left him $3.50.
There were others who did better.
This is the land of possibilities,
where cattle roam over the prairies
without feed or shelter from the
first day of January to the last day
Of December.

Fenton is a little burg with only

marketed here 26,OOO barrels of rice,
which brought the farmers 100000.
A new brick school building is
being built here that will cost $25,-

completed a new court house in
January that cost Sll4,0OO.
This is not a country where hard

an alley. where he told me he had
few sacks of salt he would sell
but made me promise not 10 LET the
fact become known. | told him
wanted two sacks, one for myself
and one for Maj. Sims, and that
neither of US would give the secret
away. Then | inquired what the
salt was worth. Twenty dollars a
sack" said Smith, and on being
asked if he would accept COnfeder-
ate money, he replied that he must
have his pay in gold.
paid Smith two $40 gold pieces
for the two sacks of salt, and told
him Maj, Sims would come and get
it the next day. No" said Smith.
Tell him to come to my house to-
morrow night about 10 o'clock. The
salt is in my cellar and no one
knows of it. Tell Smith 10 come
the back way, with as little noise as
possible, and I'll be ready for him.
returned to Maj. Sims and told
him what | had done. He and his
old negro man, Dan, started i'll the
afternoon and went to Smiths at
the hour set, They got the salt,
reached home just before daylight
the next morning, and Maj. Sims
hid the sacks under the bed in his
wife's bedroom.
We left for home that morning,
after telling Maj. Sims a wagon
would be sent for our sack of salt
the next day and instructing him
not to let the driver start on the re-
turn trip until after bedtime, so
that no one would know about the
salt. Just before daylight the
driver reached our house. Then
the salt had to be removed from
the sack and put in small packages
and hidden in different places about
the house in order to keep it safely,
Having to haul this salt from
Batesville during the night, then
having to hide it in different places
in small parcels about the house
looked a little like fellow was steal
ing, but this action was absolutely
necessary in order to keep the salt
for your own use. But salt was
not the only thing that had to be
hidden in order to be safe for times
of need. Provisions Of every kind
had to be hidden frequently. This
condition of things continued and
even grew worse until the close Of
the war.

HATCH|NC EGGS N
OLD FASHION WAY
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN SEleC'
TIoN EGGS, NESTING PLACES
AND FEEDING CHICKS BY a
POULTRY SPECIALIST.

When Matching eggs with hens. 1t IS
always desirable to select quiet place
and make a nest of clean hay or straw
in g shallow box or barrel laid on It's
side. 1t is preferable to have this nest
on the ground if there is no danger OF
floods during rainy weather. Make
the nest big enough so the eggs can
not be rolled out easily. In deep nests
there is danger of breaking eggs when
the hen leaves or gets on the nest.
Select a quiet hen that has been
broody for several days and place her
on a nest with a few Gull eggs or
nest eggs in it, and allow her to stay
on these eggs for two or three days
before giving her the eggs to be
Matched.
1t is especially advisable to make
sure that the hen is free from lice.
Lousy hens stand on the eggs and PICK
instead of keeping the eggs warm. Ii
the hen has lice dust her freely with
Persian insect powder or take bit OF
blue ointment the size Of pea and
rub it on the skin under the vent
Both remedies can be bought at any
drug store, and are effective. Repeat
the treatment after nine or ten days
to kill the lice that hatch Provide
feed and water where the hen can
leave the nest and get to them easily
Cracked corn and wheat make good
feed.
Selecting Eggs.
The eggs for Matching should be
carefully selected from freshly laid
eggs that have not been chilled. When
hens are not laying many eggs It is
advisable to put the eggs in dry
bran. small end down, leaving the up
per end or air space uncovered. Place
the box in a cool place that will not
drop below so degrees Fahrenheit. Sc.
lect eggs Of uniform size, as they will
not be broken as easily in the nest. Do
not pick the largest eggs, Select the
average sizes, avoiding thin, thick or
irregular shells. Use nine to Is eggs,
depending on the size of the hen.
Test the eggs about the tenth or
fourteenth day. This can be done by
holding them before lamp light in a
dark room, If an egg tester is not avail.
able. Remove all clear eggs and sucn
dark eggs as show the contents to be
fluid, as these eggs will decay and Y
broken in the nest will prevent other
eggs from Matching.
Remove Bad Eggs.
II is advisable to remove all un'
hatchable eggs, as It allows better
chance for the fertile ones. When
Matching begins, generally on the
twenty.flrst day for hen eggs II
the hen is quiet, leave the chicks until
all are Matched unless the hen has a
tendency to leave the nest with the
first few Matched. II is decidedly the
best to give the chicks water, but with
hold feed for at least As hours,
