On nearly every farm there are small

moist soils that would be especially
adapted to the growing of this crop

this purpose, so much feed would be
made that there would be little need
of pulling any fodder it would be more
economical of time to take care of
a crop making several tons Of cured
feed per acre than to pull fodder, get

aside from the resulting damage to
the yields of corn.

feet high, two cuttings can be obtained
and when thus handled the per cent

individual cuttings can be cured read

used for curing cowpeaS or other hay;

Why should we run into difficulties or
illiterate and Objectionable votes
among the women? Are our women
reprobates and unworthy of a trust
of this kind? There are not half as
many unworthy women to cope with
in exercise of the ballot as there are
unfit men. And the men have had
many years to qualify for proper
exercise of the ballot
That contemporary is wrong sad
ly, painfully, tragiCally wrong! The
women not only want to vote, but
they are going to vote,-actually are
going to get into the exercise of this
right and duty before this contempary
gets his head out of the window to see
how it happened Suffrage for women
is coming as rapidly and as certainly
as time will permit There is seldom
stall or hitch. When women make
the request, the men topple and here
they go, right on down the line till
everybody has agreed The women Of
Atlanta are already in politics! They
have the right in the future to cast
their ballots as same as the men Do
you believe they are not going to
vote? Watch them on their next
chance!
This same contemporary tells us
that the Anthony amendment ought
not to be tackled on to the constitu-
tion of the United States, that the wo.
men ought not to go TO Washington
with this thing. We are inclined to be
leve he right on this point, but
have TO pause when we think of the
guarantee in the federal constitution
regarding the right Of suffrage. II it
is right to saregard the ballot there
for the men, it is also right to take
care Of the rights under the same
conditions for women In tho states
we regulate the suffrage by our pri-
maries. There is no good reason why
the woman cannot abide rules that
men abide.
But we have a laugh when we remem-
Der those who oppose the Anthony
suffrage amendment do so with their

amendment came along for adoption,
The state legislatures hurried to pass
it, each racing to be next till enough
hid adopted to make it a binding mca-

from the liquor interests who didn't

 But he was not taken aback. In- stead he regarded the lady critically and then replied:

 The other workers were content to carry one anvil at time. Frank was in hurry to unload the ship, so he took one under each arm, He made several trips. At last his foot slip ped and he fell from the gangplank into the water. He had an anvil under each arm.
 No heed was paid to him for few minutes. Frank continued to tread water and shout for rope. At length he cried: "Fo' de good Lawd's sake, trow me a rope, boss. Fo' if you all don't trow me a rope in mint, Ans sho' gwine to drap one of desc anvils. "

T. K. AND THE ROUGH RIDER WHO HAD
 HIS EAR BIT OFF.

One of the softest places in the Col onel's heart was for the members of his own regiment, the Rough Riders, and he appointed number of them to government office, but never with out knowing that the man was capa- ble of filling the position to which he was appointed. One appointment which he made was for the position of United States Marshal in what was then a territory in the Southwest. He realized that this appointment would meet with some local opposi- tion in the senate and therefore in or der to forestall any difficulty he sent for Comrade Berry to come to Wash ington. The story as the Colonel used to tell it, ran very much like this:
 "Comrade Adams informs me that you have killed six men,"
 "Yes, Colonel"
 "Why did you kill these men?"
 q killed them all, sir, in the line of duty. I can show you the process of the court in each instance"
 The Colonel answered "Comrade Berry, how did you lose your right ear?"
 "A gentleman bit it off, cir"
 "How did he cone to do that ?"
 "Why," he said. "I had a warrant foI his arrest and him and me mixed it up, and during the argument he bit off part of my ear.'
 "Wcll, what happened to the gentle man, Comrade Berry?"

very keenly, women whom the spirit of
the hodr has gripped earnestly, this is
the type with whom the church wishes
to make connection for various forms
OF missionary endeavor.
The particular forms of missionary
work open to the young women of
the South are in the medical evange-
listic and educational departments in
the mission fields. One hundred and
fifty are wanted as evangelists and
deaconesses; two hundred and fifty
are wanted as teachers and one hun
dred are wanted as doctors and
nurses. The call has particularly gone
out for young women. Of college educa-
ton in order that they may be able to
grasp quickly the leadership in the
work which the church needs.
The calling of these young women
is made possible through the Cente.

served this year. A fund OF $S5,000.-
} 600 will be raised soon, and this
money will make possible the sending
