FALL PROPAGATION
OF CLIMBING ROSES

Climbing roses are propagated
mostly by hardwood cuttings
made in the fall. Many outflow
er roses may be propagated in
the same way.
Hardwood crtrings are taken

ter, while solftwood, or green
wood, cuttings are taken when
the pants are i'll active growth.
TO make a hardwood cuttings,
good, strong, well-ripened shoots
OF the past summers growth
should be selected. These arc bet
ter ii cut between the time the
leaves fall. and freezing weather.
If left until after cold weather
there is danger of injury from
freezing. They should be cut in
to pieces of 5 to 6 inches, with the
upper cut just above a bud, and
should be tied in bundles with
ratha or with string that does not
rot easily if exposed to dampness.
After labelling plainly they should
be buried in moist sand, tops
down, and placed in cool cellar
or buried in the open ground be-
low danger of frost. They should
be planted in the open ground in
the spring about or little before
complaining time, so that one or
two ewes, or not over | inch of
the cutting, is above the ground
which will leave 4 or 5 inches in
the ground. Care must be taken
not to iniure the calluscs that
have formed while the outlines
were buried. Sometimes better
results are obtained by planting
in martial shade.
Frequently cuttings made in
winter or early spring do nearly

THE
SAVINGS HABIT

Apropos OF the present period
OF prosperity that seems to be pre-
dominant IN every section of the
South, lessons in thrift are being
promulgated by many economic
authorities who have studied the
situation now existing in the cot
ton belt.
1t is pointed out that periodical
ly there is liable to come a poor
crop year and generally depressed
conditions in commerce and in
dustry. The latter feature, how
ever, has been largely eliminated
by the new federal banking sys-
tenn and it promises to be further
augmented by the extension of
usefulness of the federal system
to include the rural sections.
Regardless of all efforts to
solve the problems of finance it is
pointed out that one of the very
best things that can be done in
the South is to encourage the
savings habit among the grown
folks as we'll as the children. One
authority recommends the school
savings bank as one of the meth
DDS of intoxicating in the youthful
minds the desirability of saving
money in times of plenty. Near
ly all of the big financial insti-
tutions of this section have added
a savings department which
makes it possible for anyone to
put aside little money for a rainy
day, SO to speak.
In all countries and sections
where the savings habit is devel-
oped there follows an unusual de-
gree of thrift, and incidentally
the plan OF paying cash for ones
purchases or at least paying bills
when they come due, is more GEN
eral than where the savings policy
IS not in vogue.-The Augusta
Chronicle.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSE.
HOLD

For dust-stained alabaster or
namcnts, paste of whiting, SOAP
and milk is the best. The paste
must be left to dry on, and then
washed away, the surface being
first dried with cloth and then
with flannel.
10 clean saucepans thoroughly
after cooking oatmeal, fill them
with boiling water, empty, then
fill with cold water, and the oat-
meal will almost fall away from
the sides of the saucepan.
When shaking heavy rugs hold
by the sides. If possible, spread
them wrong side up on the grass
and beat to dislodge dirt, then
brush off and hang up to air.
To remove the skins of tomatoes,
rub them all over with the back
of knife to loosen the skins be-
fore peeling. This is better than
scalding them.
To keep mice away, one of the
simplest and at the same time
most effective plans is to place
Jumps of camphor in the cellar
or cupboard they infest.
Dusty velvet may be very much
improved by rubbing with another
piece of velvet. This will not in
lure the surface as brushing is apt
to do.
To make a drawer run smooth
ly and open easily, rub the run
ners with lump of heated bees
wax. This is invariably effective.
If fat is dropped on the floor,
pour cold water upon it at once.
Most of it will harden and can be
scraped up.
To remove the brown marks
from the dishes, caused by bak-
ing in the oven, rub them well
with common salt.
Pickles may be kept from be-
coming mouldy by laying little
bag of mustard on the top of the
pickle jar.

GOOD COTTONSEED

Athens, October 30.-The Col
lege of Agriculture warns farm
ers in the boil weevil territory to
at once make sure of getting the
best seed available for bob wee
vii conditions. Later on the prob
abilities are that desirable seed
will be much higher priced. With
a view to determining the best
varieties to use where the weevil
has appeared, the College of Ag-
rlculture has been conducting
tests for several years and has
been making many Kinds of cross

desired qualities of earliness, dis

All varieties that other plant
breeders have developed for boil

THE SAILORS RETURN

| left the sea forever"
| broke her ancient thrall,
| would have done with rolling
deeps
And decks that rise and fall;
But up the roads l travel
And on the very breeze
There follows, follows
The spell that is the seas.
The clouds that hang above me
Are islands in blue
AS clear as topic waters
That | have idled through,
And every flowing river
Is like the changing tide
That fills the salt sea marshes
Along the oceans side.
The wind among the wheat fields
Makes pillows in the grain,
Likes lately deep sea graybacks
That lift and sink again;
By day | can't escape her,
And in the night it seems
| walk reeling freighter
And sail the sea in dreams.
She smiles at me in picture,
She calls me in song,
For painter folk and poe folk
Have served her we'll and long
And is her magic broken,
Her glamour from me hurled?
Nay, once again upon a ship
III sail across the world!

largo aluminium plate on the box
back Of the drivers seat which made
1t quite noticeable. It was the only
car Of its kind in this vicinity. From
the fact that the car was a present

granary and barn on the Strawhecker
farm leased to Mr.. Lam were COM
pletely destroyed by fire. The cause
of the fire is not positively known,
but It is thought that the threshers
who slept in tho barn while the crew
worked on the farm, must have left
matches in the hay loft. No stock
was lost, most Of the horses being on
an adjoining farm threshing. The
farm is about five miles southwest Of
Webster and was recently bought by
