Two Kinds of Farmers.

Why is it that so often farmers
living side by side on farms of equal
size and fertility get such different
results? Evidently the reason must
be found mostly in the men them
selves. One man takes in agricul-
tural papers, keeps posted on farm
ing, plans for the future, keeps his
land in fine condition and farms
scientifically. Another man neg
lects these things, loafs about in
town instead of attending to his
work, and fails in good repair. One
man finds farming pays and is hap
py, the other says there Is no
money iu farming and is in a chron-
ic state of encouragement. Or

Take Care of Ewes.

The winter care of the flock is
important to insure lamb crop to
be harvested i'm the spring. Ewes
IN good condition need not be fed
grain until about month before
lambing, when they should gradu-
ally be accustomed to it. Ewes in
thin or poor condition should re-
ceive from one-fourth to one.half
pound of grain daily. Corn alone
is not the best grain ration. A ra
ton of parts corn, 8 parts wheat
bran, and part linseed oil cake,
by weight, has proven Very satis-
factory. A ration of corn, oats,
and bran, equal parts by weight,
can also be recommended.
The sheep should receive as much
clover or alfalfa hay as they will
eat. The amout IF hay eaten can
be cut down by the use of corn
silage or corn stover. Two pounds
clean, sweet corn silage can be used
to replace about one pound of hay.
Well cured corn stover is also rel
ished by the ewes. Ordinarily,
there is little danger of the sheep
eating too much of it, if the hay is
fed once a day. The greatest dan
ger of corn stover comes from max
ING it the exclusive feed. Clean
salt and water should be kept be
fore the flock. Sheep should al
ways have dry, we'll bedded floor
to lie on.-Ohio State Bulletin.

Warmly Welcomed in New

The names and faces of those who
stood 40 faithfully by us in the ser.
vice of the Masters cause are and
ever shall be fresh in our memory.

FELT quite sure that some of them
Ne would never see again, but were
surprised and saddened to receive
The intelligence, 80 soon, that one
E5f our dear friends, member of
Plum Branch Baptist church, a no

prayers and sympathy. 5,
81 We are now living in the county
seat town of Dorchester. St. George
has the snap" and "ge" Of little
city. She has a splendid electric
system Of lighting the town. Also,
one of the best schools in the State
for FOR primary and academic work, and
sa good school of music, two strong
banks, irst-class cotton market
and an average good market for al
most any commodity-a very pretty
town of twelve hundred people.
I've count ourselves quite fortu-
nat. to be able to.cast our lot among
80 noble people. We are very
spleasantly located, living in nice,
new six-room parsonage, on shaded
lot joining the church lot, on which
sets splendid wooden building
which has recently undergone some
repairs in the interior.
The people received US very
.ccurreously, meeting us at the train
a. touring car, bearing us away,
& agiis he, parser age, where,
" We. were met by some representative
men and women of the church. At
ter meeting us they left us imme-
dlately. We discovered, on. going
into the parsonage, that on the din
ing table was well prepared supper
and quite number of things in the
grocery line for the pantry.
About one week later some of the
members of the country churches
came bringing, others sending, a
veritable load of good things to eat,
so that for long time we shall not
have 70 visit the groceryman.
Our car was unloaded and furni-
ture placed in the parsonage before
our arrival.
One gratifying thing is, that these
people are thoroughly loyal to their
church and denomination, and above
all, noble Christians, possessing, to
a large degree, the spirit of self sac
rifce.
So being already assured of the
heartiest cooperation and feeling
divinely led, we, with buoyant hope,
enter upon the work of our new
field.
We solicit the earnest prayers of
our Christian friends back at old
home," and give them a hearty IN
vitation 10 visit the manse" of St.
George, if ever you would like to
come toward the coast.
