olfy-"How would you fertilize
to beat the boil .Ieevil to the cotton!"
In growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions, several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be we'll drained and well supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed OF va.
riety adapted to the locality should
be chosen, and, Of course, q variety
that will mature its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer.
tilize Aberally. and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils, such as tho ~
clays and clay loans, the use OF . fef-
tAizer carrying 10 per cant to IL per
cent phosIhoric acid, 8 to 4 per cent
nitrogen and q small per cent Of pot.
ash, II 1t can be had. should be used.
Apply at the rate Of $50 to 400 pounds
Dor acre. On lighter soils In which
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are
all usually deficient, . fertilizer carry
ing all three elements Is desirable.
Use 10 to IL per cent phosphorie acid,
5 or per cent nitrogen and or 2
Der cent potash, at the rate OF 300 to
400 pounds to the acre.

Mrs Racliffe had been visiting at
her former home in Saltwater, hav-
ing Jerry with her. Sunday noon she
called up her husband in Belfast and
in course of the conversation said
at she was planning to return to
Belfast on the boat Monday, and re-
marked, Il suppose it will cost sixty
cents for jerry"
Jerry heard it all but didn't say a
word. Later in the afternoon he was
missed. A search was made for him
without avail and an advertisement
was placed in the Bangor News. At
$50 Monday morning, neighbors of
the Racliffes in Belfast heard Jerry's
bark.
The little dog had travelled the for.
ty miles in about fourteen hours, 60
ing through Bangor on the way. He
had been over the road number of
times in the Racliffe automo bile, al
ways watching the country intently,
but how he found the way back in
the night and why he did it is some
thing he won't say a word about.
He saved sixty cents, anyway.

A Death Felsnins Plant.

That certain insects, birds, man.
mails and reptiles habitually pre-
tend to be dead when danger threst''
ems them is a well known fact, but
it is generally believed that this
stratagem is resorted to only by
animals. In South America, how
ever, there is a plant-a species of
mimosa which resorts to death
feigning, evidently for the purpose
of preventing the grass eating ami
mails from eating it. In its nautral
state this plant has a vivid green
hue, but directly it is touched by a
human finger or by any living ami.
NAL it collapses into tangle Of
apparently dead and withered stems.

coy BEANS IN THE ROTATION,

Inquiry-"Will you recommend q
rotation ia which soy beans, cotton
and some other crop will be used!
Soy beans are highly recommended
They are q legume and, therefore, do
not require much nitrogen. The hay
is abundant and the feeding value
high. The oil mills afford a ready
market for the bean, and the cake
which is produced by the mills has
splendid feeding values.
A good rotation to follow Is cotton
followed by corn with soy beans, fol
lowed by oats and cowpeas. For
southern conditions Hollybrook and
Mammouth Yellow are recommended.

ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME
Prepared for Meeting OF State
Teachers Association.

Rock Hill, March 6:-Secretary
R c Burts bas mailed out pro-
grammes and membership cards to
more than 5000 teachers of the State
and tits his plan to send to every
teacher a letter and a programme.
From reports coming in from the
various sections of the State it is
practically an assured fact that there
will be more than two thousand
teachers in attendance at the State
Teachers association in Columbia
March Is to II.
VIM c Bynum, president of the
association. has announced that DR.
Charles A McMurray of the Peabody
School for Teachers, Nashville, will
make the address Friday evening,
March l6, and that he will also ad-
dress the members of the grammar
grades department Friday morning
at 10 o'clock and also the joint meet
ing of the department of elementary
schools and the school improvement
association Friday afternoon at $3.50.
Dr. McMurray has q national reputa-
tion as a trainer of public school
teachers, and the teachers of South
Carolina are indeed fortunate to
have this opportunity to hear him.
The railroad fares on all trains
will be &c per mile plus Csc for the
round trip. These are exceptionally
low rates. Information as to hotels
and boarding houses may be had by
writing to the Columbia Chamber of
Commerce. Teachers are urged to
make their arrangements before
hand so that time will not be lost af-
ter arriving in Columbia. Head
quarters of the association will be in
the high school building on Wash
ington street.
Supt E S Dreher of Columbia has
extended a very cordial invitation to
visit the Columbia schools Thursday
morning. This will be of great value
to the teachers who expect to attend
the association.
The following colleges have ar
ranged for reunions of their gradu-
ates and former students: Winthrop,
Furman, Woman's College of Due
West, ,Erskine, Columbia college, Chi
cora, University of South Carolina,
Newberry, Wofford, Limestone and
Greenville Woman's college
The annual dues of SOC for ladies
and S1.00 for men should be sent to
w E Black, Lexington, and men,

Patchwork.

The idea that patchwork had its
origin in America is not founded on
fact. \ thousand years before the
Christian era q queen of Egypt
went down the Nile to her last rest
ing place under wonderful canopy
Of skins that were dyed and .pieced
together in a mosaic pattern. Years
before this work had reached per-
fection and acquired definite place
among the arts. Then, too, patch
work quilts were made in England
in the eighteenth century, as wit
ness the lines written by Cowper to
Mrs. King upon receipt of "a
kind present of patchwork quilt
of her own making"

Points ON Setting Hens.

Clemson College, March Git is
less trouble to care for sitting hens
when they are confined in separate
pen away from the layers. The
floor OF this pen should be of earth,
dug up and moistened. The nest
boxes should be placed around the
sides. and there can be rs hens in
the pen. A box from IL to is
inches square and about the same
in height is suitable for the nest.
Remove the top, front and bottom.
Cover the top with burlap sack to
provide ventilation, and nail a wood
en- strip q inches wide across the
front at the bottom. Have a wide
board to lean against the open front
and brick to keep it in place when
it is necessary to confine the hen.
Fill the bottom of the box level
with the top of the 4-inch board
with moist, garden soil. and hollow
the soil like saucer, so the eggs
will not roll away from the hen ard
become chilled. The surface of the
earth should be smooth and hard to
allow the eggs to roll. Cover the
earth with very little straw, and
put in a few common eggs.
Remove the sitting hen to the
new nest at night. Dust her with
yellow insect powder, or grease her
with 33 per cent mercurial ointment,
and then place her quietly on the
nest and shut her in.
The next evening, when it is
growing dark, dishes of whole grain
and water should be placed in front
of the nest and the hen removed to
feed. Leave her alone and do not
return until night. If the hen is on
her nest and is contented. she may
be given the sitting of eggs you
have selected for her.
Feed the sitting hens al the same
hour each day. Give them whole
grain whole corn is best( in dish.
so they can eat all they desire. Even
under the most favorable conditions
for feeding, a sitting hen will lose
about three-quarters of pound in
weight during the three weeks of
incubation. If there are many sit
ters in the pen, seven or eight
should be fed together, removing
any that do not leave their nests
Replace the hers in 20 minutes. The
doors of the nests are closed except
at feeding time.
Examine the nests while the hens
are feeding, and if any eggs are
broken the remaining eggs should
be washed in warm water ard the
nest cleaned. Moisten the earth
around the nest frequently. and on
the eighteenth day of incubation in.
merse the eggs for two minutes in
warm water (105 degrees F.. This
softens the membranes inside the
shell and results in a greater per-
centage of chicks Matching.

ToRRENs TITLES

TORRENS TITLES.-Those who
believe in public ownership should
favor the TOrrens system of insur-
ing land titles by the county. It does
away with expensive abstracts and
examination of same by lawyers,
hence is much opposed by lawyers
and private insurers of titles.
The Real Estate News of January
opposes Torrens certificates with
more zeal than consistency, saying
they are "a. snare and a delusiOn";
they start an avalanche of litiga-
tion," certainty of title is impossi-
BILE under the Torrens system. " Yet
a writer on page II says: ''TOrTens
laws can be useful in general only
as providing convenient methods of
settling titles"
On page 4 we are told that Tor
rens titles depend upon "a real auto
crat, dictator, a registrar, whose
words shall be law, who shall have
power greater than all the courts
combined" Page 6: ''He is a minis
terial office, and nothing else" with
judicial power.

FOR PREPAREDNEsS.-B. R.
Mason and others think we are going
to the bad because our children shall
be taught how to defend their coun-
try if need be.
Does a man fight because he has
learned the art Of self defense?
am sure there are many who have
learned this art who have never
abused it and never will. A beast of
a man always learns how to fight
through experience, because fight he
will.
We, as a nation, do not want to
fight, but we had better learn how
before some beast of a nation gives
us a drubbing and compels US
through bitter experience to learn
how.
Let us learn how to take care Of
ourselves, as every clean-minded,
free-spirited individual commands
self-respect by being foremost in re-
speeding others. But let us learn
self-defense in the right way, not as
initiative monkeys, as they have been
teaching US in the past, not the Ger
man nor Swiss, neither the British
way, but let us bring our American
good sense into play and be original
in this as in other things; let us beat
anything that ever has been taught.
Get Americans with that great love
of freedOm'as leaders and we will not
be beggarly imitatOrs. We will not
bring into being craven, docile serfs
as soldiers, but leaders Of men, each
capable of being at the helm and,
ike great men, each willing to be
the obedient tool Of the master mind.
