Adirondack Camps

By Harry AyreS in The Review.
 The Adirondack camp-I do not mean the sort of shack we had 25 years ago on Browns Tract pond a few feet from where the railroad now runs by to Ra- quette lake-but the huge log living house on the lake shore, with it's sleeping quar- ters scattered here and there through the enveloping woods. and it's dining room somewhere else witnessing the regular conjunction of copious meals and com pany of hungry guests, such a camp, has always been civilizations most splendid achievement of an urbs in rure. To dress as one pleases, to sleep out of doors, to find oneself at the remove of but few steps, lord of a pine-needle carpet which seemingly no mans foot had pressed before, to return ito a fireplace capable of a whole Aetna Of flame, and there knit up the broken and twisted strands of old time friendship, does civilization offer a finer delight? To make ones own flap jacks of a cold morning; to bivouac in the dark and drizzle, stea,thily to stalk the enemy under guise of deer or trout that, too is magnificent but it is war. We are speaking now only of the pleasures of civilization. It takes long time to go. camping as we used to do it. But in the Adirondack camp, the camp that has perfectly learned to maintain it's comfort, even it's splendor, amid an en- vious and delightfully."- contrasting will derness, here even 48 hours is not too 1 scant to contain infinite riches.

Flax takes considerably more nitrogen from the soil than wheat or oats. but that chemical property can be replaced by TO- tating the flax with clover.

For the Good of
 the Community

strides Alabama is making in the devel- opment of her agricultural industry, with special reference to live stock and grain.
 Every week new evidences of this ad- vance are coming to hand, partly in the increased number of hog and cattle sales and shipments and the increased produc- tion of corn, beans, peanuts and potatoes.
 From the last number of the Alabama Market Journal official publication of the departmentof agriculture, is taken a list of live stock sales~held during the month of September which gives some idea of the development of that industry.
 In his last monthly report J. B. Cobbs, assistant manager Of the federal reserve bank system, attached to the Birmingham branch, stated that the value of Alabama cattle and swine passing through stock wards in. this state or shipped to packing houses in St. Louis and other cities, was S68,OOO, 900 for the present year. That is ~euual to one-fourth the value of the states cotton crop last year, which sold at ap- proximately 30 cents a pound
 Among the latest sales reported were car load of light butcher yearllngs and heifers to Montgomery; one car load of fat heifers and cows to Mobile; 5 cars of veal calves to St. Louis, and two cars of heavy steers to St. Louis, all from Ma rengo county, during the first week in September. St. Louis also put in an order for 16 additional cars to be delivered, It cars were vailable.
 Dairy sales were held at Newborn, Faunsdale, Orrville, Stafford, Consul md Dayton, the cattle sold at thes places be- ing high-grade registered aNHala at prices satisfactory to the seller.
 Lamb sales made in the same seetion of the state during the early pa cf Septem- Der averaged S14 per 100poands.
