The Country Home
BY MRS. w. I'll. FELTON,
SPLENDID SORGHUM SYRUP

SRAGN did SOGGk1 u M SXEUP
Mr.. and Mrs. w. N, Holland, of
SO generous as to send me some
more of their splendid sorghum
syrup. They have either better seed
to grow the cane, or they know bet
ter how to prepare the syrup than
anybody 1 am acquainted with. Once
a year these excellent friends re-
member me. L wish they could be
induced to tel the readers of the
Country Home Column their method
of preparation or the kind of seed
they cultivate.
This syrup is of the consistence of
honey, beautiful amber color, with
not a speck in the syrup to mar it's
perfection. 1t is delicious! 80.
BLIGHT IN SWEET POTATOES
My grocer sent NE a few pounds
of splendid looking sweet potatoes a
few days ago. I was absent a couple
of days, and when 1 took a few out
of the paper sack to fry for dinner,
at least half of them had decayed.
They looked to be all right on the
outside, but the blight was inside.
1 have been told that sweet pota-
toes must not be cultivated on the
same spot Of ground more than two
wears in succession. 1 do not raise
ptotatoes myself-do not cultivate
a garden in my advanced age, but L
drop this suggestion to those who
make a business of raising and mar
keting sweet potatoes. The potato
crop of Georgia is more valuable
than our present, wheat cultivation.
It is half the living" of the most
of households. Maybe the long hot
summer has been unfavorable to
sweet potatoes.
~" The Presidents
CAS- the United States is about to
select a new president, the follow
ing lines may not be out OF place.
George Washington, the choice of
Ry Adams was succeeded
And then came Thomas Jefferson,
Who bought some land Weneeded.
Next Madison was called upon
To keep our noble seaWen-
And James Monroe f noW ushereu IN
John Quincy Adams was the next
And then came Andrew Jackson,
And after him Van Buren, came
And panic's wild destruction.
Then Harrison for one month ruled
And Tyler came in order;
Then Polk and war with Mexico
About a little border.
Then General Taylor was the choice
But after one year only
Death called this hero to his rest,
And left the chair to Fillmore.
Then Pierce and James Buchanan
came,
And war clouds quickly lower;
Then Lincoln was the chosen one,
The statesman for the hour.
"Then after Lincolns martrydom'
Johnson, of Tennessee
Then Grant, wartime nero
The silent man was he.
Next r. B. Hayes was counted In
And Garfield-second Marty
Whose term was ended peacefully
BY Chester Alan Arthur.
"Then Cleveland next and Harrison,
And Cleveland second-timer,
And then Mckinley was the third
To fill the grave of martyr.
Then Roosevelt as vice president
Succeeded to the honor,
And was elected once again,
Then Taft came from Ohio.
Now Wilson is the president
Of a hundred million people.
May peace her gentle wings out
spread
And keep our land from evil"
This survey of our presidents was
printed early in 1913. President Will
son was inaugurated on March 4,
1913.
What immense things have hap
pened to us since that date!
The presidential election of 1915
gave a second term to Woodrow Will
son.
When this is printed the people
are making ready their battle for
the ballots" for a new president.
