20. The division Of proceeds from
he farm should be based upon the
ratio of the actual money value OF
what landowner and tenant puts into
the enterprise, allowing the landoWn-
er a fair interest rate on his invest
ment, and the tenant a fair wage for
his work and fair interest on any in
vestment. For example, if per cent
of the value of the farm and 10 per
cent of the value of the equipment
owned by the landowner amounts 10
$3.50, and If the labor furnished by
the tenant is worth $450 and the in
terest on his equipment S24O, totaling
$500, then the landowner should re-
ceive SIS per cent of the net pro-
ceeds and the tenant AZ per cent.
20 A clause making a lien on
crops, live stock and other personal
property on the farm, owned by the
renter, for the purpose of insurlng
payment of all moneys due the farm
owner. Such a clause would work no
hardship on the renter unless for
some cause or other he was not IN
tending to play fair with the farm
owner.
81 Neither party has the right
to bind the other by contract out
side the scope of the agreement; and
the contract shall not be interpret
ed as constituting a partnership.
In the above suggestions tnere is
nothing that will interfere with the
lawful operations of the tenant, and
at the same time if the suggestions
are followed out they provide pro-

Mrs. w. H. FELTON,.
My Dear Mrs. FELTON,: 1 know
you will not be surprised to get a
letter from a stranger, as L am sure
you receive many letters from people
that you never have seen. But we
all love you and think you are such
a dear, good lady and want to tell
you and not just think about you
and never tell you how we appre-
ciate your Timely Topics. It's re-
markable that a lady of your age
can write so brilliantly. l always
look for the dear little picture of
you in The Journal for the first thing
when we get the paper, though the
last few papers have omitted the
picture, though 1 find Topics all right
and you can't imagine how l enjoy
reading them.
Your reproduction of the Civil
war times was very interesting TO
me. 1 was seven years old at out
break of that war and remember
something about the hardships of
that war. Everything you write is so
interesting to me. l am so glad that
the German war is over and that we
have hopes of peace. l have a very
dear nephew in France and hope he
will get back to his native country.
/ live on a farm near the Catawba
river, a mile from OXfords Ford. l
am incloSing a self-addressed en-
velope for a few of the althea seed,
if 1 am not too late. If I'm too late
1 thank you very much anyhow for
your very graciouSneSS. L hope you
will have a nice Christmas, and if l
am here I'll be wishing you a merry
Christmas and everything good. May
God bless you. Yours sincerely,

A blessing for GRANDMOTHER

Evans, Ga, Nov. %, 1918.
Dear Grandmother FELTON,: Today
is Thanksgiving day and 1 am sure
we all have a lot to be thankful for.
We have five boys and one little girl:
two of the boys were in this last call.
but thanks to our Heavenly Father,
/ hope it's all over. Bless your
soul and body! 1 do love to read
your writings. I always read it
first, and 1 did want some of your
flower seed very bad, but 1t seemed
like imposing on you, so many send
ing in after them, but 1 saw in the
last Journal that you had some more
and I told my little girl l would
write you and ask you to please send
us a few. Now, if 1t be that We
are too late, don't trouble your dear
mind about it. We can wait for an
other time. I do wish 1 could see
you and talk with you, as 1 am not
much on writing. l do the best ]
can. So may God bless the Semi
weekly's grandmother always. With
best wishes for your happiness.
Yours sincerely.

The Country Home
Timely Topics
CONDUCTED BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,
Superstitions

As / looked up in the sky, this
late afternoon, l saw the young new
moon hanging in the sky, one point
of the crescent a little lower than
the other. Instinctively l thought,
this will be a wet moon, 1t will spill
water" Then L thought, 81 ought
to have a little money in my pocket
to make the good luck come.
Somewhere and some time In the
long ago, was told these things and
| am sure to remember them. The
old darby servants always kept sucn
things in mind. One said to me,
why, missus, 1t does bring good
luck; you watch it." I replied,
What's to be done when you have
ing nv keys at it,
There are lots and lots of people
who put off beginning JOB If 1T is
Friday. You will hear, Get your
things together; it's bad luck to 20
break a looking glass is a sign OF
death in the family. For bird to
fly in and fly out OF the house means
sudden accident-@sybe death. To
put your stocking on wrong side out,
by accident brings good luck. A
popping fire spells trouble, ETC., etc.
Away back, maybe in benighted
Africa, some of these things had
their origin, but ghost stories and
such like started with white folks
as we'll as with negroes.
cling to you, or we would not re-
member them instantly, as for in
stance my recollection of what the
new moon might do, If there was no
money in my pocket, and the moon
getting ready to spill water.

A NEW TEXT FOE A NEW SER
1GON

1t is hard to get ahead of a preach
err who delights in sensations. l
have been informed that a preacher
is entertaining big congregations by
explaining what it meant when the
world war came to an end in the
eleventh month and the eleventh day
and the eleventh hour in the day.
Germany surrendered in November,
on the eleventh day and at eleven
o'clock in the morning. The preach
err told the audience to go home, get
their Bibles, find the Book of First
Kings, turn to the eleventh chapter
and the eleventh verse and read what
they would find.
When L heard 1t hunted up First
Kings, eleventh chapter and eleventh
verse, and this is what l read:
''Whereupon, the Lord said unto Sol
ONION, 'ForaSmuch as this is done of
thee, and thou hast not kept my
covenant and my statutes, which I
have commanded thee, / will surely
send the kingdom from thee and give
it to thy servant"
1t is a long jump from King Solo
mon to William-lat5ly the kaiser
but IL certainly did take a powerful
bright preacher to find out any close
analogy between Solomon and Will
liam-with the number eleven play
ing trumps in the game-between the
two.
But it does look like the elevens
are powerful in football games. Why
not with thrones and crowns? May
be there will be some more kings
knocked over before the war game is
ended!

Jars would be more desirable. The
larger cuts should be packed at the
bottom For each 100 pounds OF
meat use pounds of salt, pounds
of brown sugar or molasseS, and 5
pounds of saltpeter. Put these ma
terials in four gallons of water that
has been thoroughly boiled and cool
ed. Cover the meat with this brine
and place a weight on top to keep
all the pieces covered. Allow the
days to two weeks Then take it
out and reverse the order IN which
the pieces were placed in the rcep-
tacle. If the brine becomes reduced
by the heat add more as desired
Should the brine become stringy or
sour remove the meat at once, re.
boil the brine and cool, or replace
by fresh brine. 1t generally takes
about 80 to 40 days to cure bacon
strips and hams 40 to 60 days. After
removing from the brine, if a mild
cure is desired. allow the meat to lie
for several hours in fresh water
which has been thoroughly boiled and
cooled. The meat is then ready to
smoke.
Smoking is best accomplished
through the use of hard wood, es-
pecially hickory. Liquid smoke is
not desirable AS soon as the meat
has been thoroughly smoked it may
properly be wrapped in paper and
burlap.
The dry curing process you are
no doubt familiar with. Dry curing
meat is considered by many to be
the most desirable method of curing
and handling pork for human con-
sumption.
With regard to planting fruit trees
in your section of the state, l am
disposed to think that apples would
not prove as satisfactory CONNER
cially as farther north. Probably you
can grow figs to good advantage.
There is a good demand for preserved
figs. and they, as you know, make
one of the most desirable of the
preserved fruits we produce in Geor-
gia. The harder varieties shoulo
certainly do well in your section ana
escape without considerable amount
of winter killing. which befalls this
crop almost every winter farther
north

Australians Planning
Air Route to London

LONDON, Dec. 11.-(British Wire
less Service. )-Australian CONNER
cial and financial interests are maxi
ing plans to connect Australia with
London and other parts of the Brit
ish empire by commercial airplanes.
A company already has been formed
to finance the survey of an aerial
route to London by way of Sydney
and Port Said
The possibilities of flying from
the commercial point of view are
dealt with in a report issued by the
civil aerial transport committee. Teh
report foreshadows the time when
the airplane will compete with the
telegraph, the postoffice and the rail-
ways. 1t is declared that nearly five
hours could be saved between Lon
don and Paris, one day between Lon
don and Turin, twelve days between
London and Calcutta and thirteen
days between London and Johannes
burg, South Africa
The committee recommends the i'm
mediate formation of a special branch
of the government air service com.
mencing on a modest scale under
the air ministry to insure that all
preliminary action will be taken
without delay"

[ Judge from the description con-
tanned in your letter that there Is
nothing the matter with your hOS
except the fact that she has been
confined for some time in small or
close pen and fed on an improperly
balanced ration. 1t is not unusual
for hogs which are fattened under
such conditions to break down in the
hind quarters. This is due to the
Iact that the bones become so weak
that they are unable to support the
carcass. This condition arises, as
rule, from coniining hogs either in
very small pens with dirt floors, or
in pens with wood floors. Bones, as
you understand, contain mineral
salts in considerable quantity, and
when hogs are confined and so pre-
vented from gathering part OF their
food off the range, or when they are
fed say on u ration of corn alone
they do not secure enough mineral
matter to keep the bones in proper
condition. Corn, as you doubtless
know, is low not only in ash matter
but in protein as well. In handling
this hog, therefore, you should pro-
coed at once to provide her with all
the mineral matter she needs. Vari-
Gus mixtures may be used for this
purpose, but there is probably moth
ing better than a mixture of one
buskel of charcoal, one bushel of
WOOU aSnCSs pOuhuS dlI SldChSu
lime, pounds common salt, 4
pounds sulphur and 2 pounds of pull
verified copperas. These materials
should then be placed in a box in
the open pen where the hog is con-
fined The animal will eat such
amounts of this mineral matter as
the system may require.
In addition you should discontin-
ne the use of corn alone. If you feed
it use only one-third corn along say
with two-thirds shorts, middlings or
shipped stuff. Also see that the
slops, if any are fed, are free from
soap powders and broken dishes or
glass. This is very important mat
ter and should receive your immedi-
ate attention and consideration.
BY following out the suggestions
given above you should be able to
effect a cure in a short time. In
any event, if that is all that is the
matter with your hog there is no
reason why you should not slaughter
and cure it for meat, as the animal
is in no wise diseased if it is simply
broken down in the hind quarters by
reason of improper nourishment of
the bony framework.
