bore a horizontal hole under the sur

TWELVE RULES FOR TENANTS
SUGGESTED BY AN EX-TENANT

Nearly 500 years ago when Colum-
bus discovered America each man had
equal rights and every man owned his
own land. But look at the small far
mer and the tenant farmer today. Be-
fore l go any further 1 want to give
some Instructions for the benefit of the
tenant-farmer-I have had experience
and have found these solid rules to
follow:
l.. Try always to rent good ground
and be sure the owner is progressive
farmer.
2. Raise meat at home.
3.~Be sure to rent in time to turn
a cover crop.
4. Don't raise cotton; it doesn't pay
a tenant-farmer.
5. Sow plenty of oats and wheat;
they are paying crops for the tenant.
6. Keep your fields at home-if they
aren't yours.
Z. Don't move from farm to farm,
make the one you are living on suit
you.
8. If you can read, subscribe to The
Progressive Farmer.
8. The wise farmer Of your COM
munity is the progressive farmer; i'm
itate him. He is your best friend.
TO- Don't give up the farm and &c
to a cotton mill.
H. Don't buy cheap, low-grade fer.
tilizers; they don't pay.
IL. Try to experiment as you &C
along, and learn little for yourself.
If you will follow these rules it vii
make things easier for you. l have

Information For The Farmer

it in the fields in shocks, and hauling
at intervals is prevalent among mid
die state farmers. This method Is.
however, wasteful and ineonvenient.
Corn left in the field becomes wealth
er beaten and tough. The shocks are
blown and the grain is scattered. Also.
it necessitates going to the field fer
feed in all sorts of bad weather.
When the corn is. cured it is easiest
and wisest to haul it Immediately and
stack in narrow ricks. Care should be
taken not to get the ricks too large,
as the corn is liable to heat. The stack
should be the width of two good corn
stalks, and as high as can be safely
built 1t is best not to stack till after
the first frost, so as to insure safety
of corn.
The stack may be topped as in the
illustration, with shed roof arrange
ment of stalks, or a light board roof
may be provided if convenient. Brace
the stack well to protect it from the
wind. Farm Life.

TOMATOES RoTTING.

There are several rots of the tomato

vented by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture. There is one rot that does
not seem to be of fungous origin. This
is the blossom end rot. This seems to
be due to the fluctuations OF the wealth

RECORD SMASHING CROPS.

Come what may, regardless of the
early or late ending of the European
war, the American war, the American
farmer has decreed that America shall
have food and to spare.
The latest government crop report
shows that records in all crops have
been smashed. Ten million acres
more than ever before have been plant
ed to the leading crops.
Three billion bushels of corn, one
an done-half billion bushes of oats,
and billion bushels of wheat are
forecasted, while it is predicted that
the hay, tobacco. rice and potato crops
will be larger than ever before.
The wheat crop, which will be the
largest ever grown in any country
will be worth something like one billion
dollars, while the corn crop alone will
probably bring two and one-half bill
lion dollars.
In the face of such indications of
general prosperity as this, calamity
bowling seems wofully out of place.
America will prosper, no matter how
long the war may continue-C Charlotte

GOOD SOY BEAN SUGGESTIONS.
Summary of Conclusions Reached by
West Virginia Experiment Station.
By l. S. Cook and w. B. Kemp.

: 1-Soy Beans may be pastured by
hogs, cut for hay, or mixed with corn
for silage; the oil may be extracted
from the seed for paint making, and
the residual cake used as a concen-
trated feeding stuff; or the shelled
beans may be fed whole or ground.
1.-THE superiority of more recent
importations over the older sorts has
stimulated interest in soy beans over
a large part of the country.
3.-Soy beans can be proftably pro-
duced wherever corn will grow well.
Ain feeding tests with dairy COWS,
we'll cured soy beans hay has proved
as valuable a feed as alfalfa and su-
perior to red clover.
5.-When raised for seed the crop
is often more profitable than corn.
Gas 2 summer crop to turn under
for green manuring, no plant now in
use is superior to soy beans.
This plant is deserving of a per-
manent place in the farm rotation.
8-The Wilson, Roosevelt, or Pc
king are varieties recommended for
either hay or seed production, but for
late planting or at high attitudes the
Ito San should be used.
Soy beans may be drilled solid
or planted in rows. Better seed yields
have generally been produced by plant
ing in rows and giving the same soil
treatment and cultivation as for corn.
10-No seed more than one year old
should be planted.
11.-For the varieties recommended,
SOW two or three pecks to the acre in
rows, or four to six pecks broadcast
Eff soy beans have not been
grown before on the same land. inoc-
ulate
13.-For hay, cut as soon as the pods
are filled, but before the leaves have
started to ripen or fall.
14.-For seed, cut when most of the
leaves are off and many of the pods
are ripe but not dry enough to shatter.
Ito present heating of the seed
do not store in bulk until thoroughly
dry.-Farm Life.

He died last night about o'clock

B. & L. ASSETS TWELVE MIL
LIONS

Raleigh, Aug. 22.-The annual re-
port of Commissioner of Insurance
James r. Young on building and loan
associations for the past year is Just
from the State printers and makes a
volume of 1877 pages chock full of
data on this branch of endeavor in
this State.
Commissioner Young in MS intro
duction to the volume, states that
when the Department of Insurance
and loan associations in 1904 there
were only Al such organizations in
the State with assets of $2,542, 900, of
which $2,427, 900 was loaned out to
aid in building operations. The past
year there we're in operation 1873 as
sociations with $12,703, 900 assets, of
which $12,293, 900 is loaned The re-
ceipts of the associations during the
year aggregated $8,337, 900.
This growth is second to that Of
no State in the Union. The comment
is made that the good accomplished
in enabling persons who otherwise
could not do so to build homes is de-
sirabIe, but that the education of
citizens who take out shares along
the line OF thrift and economy is of as
much, if not more, value than the
results accomplished by the use Of
the funds loaned

In a country where a large part of
the land is owned by few land own
ers and large part of the farmers are
tenants, prosperity and progress can
not long be maintained. The tenant
becomes lazy and shiftless and the
property of the landowner deteriartes
for want of proper cultivation and care
on the part of the tenant. Under the
present system of farming neither the
landowner nor the tenant can ever rise
to the high standard of citizenship the
country demands. The writer would
suggest that to every farmer who will
agree to live on and cultivate his farm,
the government should furnish on
longtime loans and at a low rate of
interest, the means to buy land for
himself What the state and nation
need is to have a much larger proper
ton of their self-supporting farmers
and farm-owners on a small scale

St. Mary's fair was formally opened
Tuesday evening in st. Msry's hall.
The opening was most suspicious and
promises most successful event.
Preceding the opening there was a
big parade through the city streets
with music and red fire. The order of
the procession was as follows:
Marshal Isaac Champeau, aides,

Jean Baptiste society, Society of Les
Capados, Knights of Columbus, Boys
Drum corps, League of the Sacred
Heart, float with thirty girls, Holy

down Marshal TO Woodstock avenue to
Church street, to Pomfret street, down
Main street to Elm street, to Proyi-
dence street, to Marshal and st. Jo-
seph's park, to ST. mary's hall.
Hundreds passed through the doors
into the hall and were pleased AT the
pretty sight that greeted their eyes.
Under the direction of Cyril Remillard
the room had been transformed into a
gaiiy colored bazar with a profusion OF
flags, bunting and flowers. Booths of
all descriptions were arranged about
the hall including flower booth, cut
glass booth, a booth where cigars were
sold, candy booth, Charles Chaplin
booth, and booth Of fancy articles
All were soon doing thriving busi-
