The Young Fellow Reared.

When the house of representatives
decided to hang picture Of its former
speaker, "Uncle Joe" Cannon, in its
main lobby while he was yet alive, a
number Of artists sought the honor of
painting the portrait, and number of
them tried their hand at it with ill sue
cess until w. T. Smedley of New York
came along.
One of those who completed a por
trait pictured the former speaker il
manner that was not at all to hi
liking. The artist, however, liked his
work and could not understand why
Mr.. Cannon did not rave over it. Final
ly he ran into "Uncle Joe" and in a
bantering way asked:
"Well, when are you going to take
that picture of miner
young man, snapped Cannon, III

FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE
POUND OF GRAIN.

National Crop Improvement service.l
G. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, a progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and 1t
seemed to be theoretically correct. he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per cow per day and
nearly cents per cow. He figured
] his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured &C
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make balanced ration
with his own farm roughaSe.

an article he will watch the news
papers to see if it has been adver-
tised as being found, instead of plac-
ing an advertisement that it has been
sible for the article never being re-

that the rightful owner will advertise

CULTIVATION PAYS

q. g, ID
Careful cultivation means more corn
and more corn this year means more
profits to degree that is not usually
the case, for this is a year of high
prices which are sure to continue Be
sides to cultivate is to be patriotic
Cultivation, says A. G.. Army, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, kills weeds, puts
the soil into condition to stimulate
growth, and keeps the moisture in the
ground where the plants can use it.
With the seed bed firm below, mellow
at the surface, and free from Weeds.
shallow early cultivation will kill the
weeds as they start, prevent the forraa-'
ton of soil crust, and retain the
moisture. For this cultivation mar.
row shoveled cultivator or a light har.
row, the teeth of which are adjusted to
slant backward is best The cultiva,
tor is the better of the two if there are
small loose sods or other material that
may prevent the corn plants from
reaching the surface. narrowing
should be done on bright afternoon
when the plants are slightly wiltcd and
not easily broken.
If the seed bed has not been thor
oughly prepared, or if heavy rains have
packed the seed bed after planting,
medium deep cultivation, either before
the corn is up or as soon as the rows
can be seen, followed by deep and close
cultivation each way by the time the
corn is from four to six inches high,
is good practice. 81

KAISER ASKED TO ABDlCATEs
Such Is Report-Monarch Turned Pale
at the Proposition.

Rome, April "a (Via Paris)-The
Corriere d'Italia, the Clerical organ,
declares that it is able to confirm re-
ports, published in the Spanish news
papers, that the immediate following
of the German Emperor is exerting
pressure on him to abdicate. The pa
per says that at a recent meeting OF
the Hohenzollern family, one member.
bolder than the rest. intimated that
the Emperor might save the situation
by following the example of Emper-
or Nicholas.
The German monarch is reported
to have turned pale, and after observ-
ing that the general opinion was
against him, left the room muttering:
I'VE shall see."
The same evening he summoned
another family council. The chancel.
lor and some of the ministers were
present but whatever passed remains
unknown.
Little importance is attached to
this story in italian political circles
In these quarters it is thought that
the story has German origin, and
is put out with the intention of in.
fluencing opinion.

MIR. HAsELDEN COMPLAINS
Of the Method of Distributing Seed and
Working the Roads.

Editor County Record
Will you please publish few
rambling remarks on different sub
jects that l think might be for the
good of the country.
In the first place / want to thank
the government for the supply OF
seed distributed in our storm strlck-
en- county, which, had it been prop
erly handled, would have been a
great blessing to our community.
But it was poorly shared out. In
some cases two in one family got
two shares-father and son. | know
this to be the case in two instances.
In another, an old blacksmith re-
ceived one bushel corn, one bushel
peas and one half bushel velvet beans
and he never plants any outside of
garden. But that is not the worst.
One man received seed-one bushel
corn, one bushel peas and one-half
bushel beans. This man, | think, is
worth S15,0OO.O0. In a mile of
this man is widow who farms for
a living and who did not receive a
seed. Was this the way the gov
ernment intended these seed should
be distributed? | say, No.
l don't know who is to blame. |
suppose the government employed a
man to attend to this business and
he might have done the best he could.
If he did, put him out and get bet
tea man, for at this time We cannot
afford to have any makeshifts in the
governments employ.
fully endorse President Wilson's
plan for raising an army and am
ready to serve in any place that |
can to make food crops 20 to the
front. Why, l would do the hum
blest duty. if it was only to hold a
private's horse. If it broke the
bride would grab him by the tail
if so commanded by my country.
also want to say something about
working our roads. | live on the
road leading from Hemingway to
Kingstree. My proposition is this: |
will fix and keep in good condition a
short section of road near my house
if the neighbors in Hemingway will
bring it to my house and the next
nearest resident on the road will
Join in and continue the work to
Kingstree. If any and everybody
along the road will join me in the
movement, let US meet and divide
the roads and we will have good
roads and we can do it before break
fast.
Have patience, MIR Editor, just q
few more words and / am through
for the present.
l see in the News and Courier and
The County Record complaints from
farmers all over the country about
larks pulling their corn. Well. l
want to give you warranted pre-
ventative. When you plant your
corn, about the time you think it is
peeping through watch the field.
Get up before the lark" If you
see the birds have pulled one hill
shell down some corn and when he
comes back for more he will eat the
corn on top of the ground and will
not pull a bite. Pulling corn is work
and Mr. Lark has been associated
with the white folks 30 long that he
will not work if he can make liv-
ing without it.
Well, ! will close. am a poor
speller and bad writer, but am
good mathematician. ! know that
two and two make four and one and
one make two. Respectfully,
JP HAsELDEN.
