Inventor of the Letter-Box.

The inventor of the letter-box was
Anthony Trollope, the novelist, who
was a surveyor of the post once, in
England, from 1871 to his retirement
from the service in 1857. Ono sure
way Of arousins Trollope's ire was to
suggest that he neglected his post
Office work for the sake Of his novels.
He took, as matter Of fact, Al in
tense pride in his official work, or, ~
he put it, he had a passion for letters
In his autobiography he enumerated
various benefits for which the public
had cause to be grateful to him. First
came the arrangement by which the
people living in little villages cosld
buy postage stanps; secondly, the free
and early rural delivery, and the put
ting up of pillar or letter-cellectins
boxes. OF that accenmsds tioR he
says: "In the streets and ways Of

TRACING HISTORY OF BED
Many Varieties Have Been Used, Not
All of Them Conducive to
HealthfM Sleep.

Iren beds were first made for srdi-
nary use couple Of hundred years
ago, and gradually people saw tho sd-
vantaEes Of this METAL bed until now

use. The Romans used rough frame
work beds, interlsced with thongs al

improved upon in the beds of some of
the empsfofs, srnamented with jew

In the shape of the "chest bed" This
was a kind Of xhsllov box stuffed with
dry moss Or feathers, and although it
must have been comfortable, it must,
at the same time, have been extremely

FOXES INJURE CROPS, REPORT.
Unusual Abundance of Animals Is Re.
ported as Temptation to Hunters.

Columbia, Aug. 13.-W. H. Gibbes
of Columbia, chief state game warden
stated today that he was receiving a
large number of complaints from
farmers regarding the injuries done
by foxes, coons, blackbirds and other
game animals. Mr.. Gibbes states that
in many cases he has advised the
killing of such animals out of season,
where the killing is done solely to
save crops or chickens or other farm
products. Mr.. Gibbes has advised the
game wardens of the state that
where it is necessary to kill animals
to save crops, persons from the out
side should never be invited in to do
the shooting. This should be done by
the persons having the trouble.
There have been many complaints
Of trouble from foxes recently. In
Aiken county a number of farmers
banded together and killed some red
foxes. Nineteen farmers were after
ward arrested, because they were
killing foxes before the season opens
September 1. Mr.. Gibbes has re-
ceived no report of the Aiken Incl
dent, but he states that from the
press reports it seems that it was a
sport affair, and not merely an effort
to save crops.

Don't Cultivate Cotton Too Deep.

A few days ago l was in field Of
cotton the owner of which was cul-
tivating in way, in my opinion, that
was doing more harm than good.
He was using rather large and long
solid sweep, getting up close to the
cotton, and every time he came to the
end of the row he had to stop to take
the cotton roots off the ploW.
| think it is highly important to
keep a dust blanket in the cotton held
at this season of the year, but If the
cotton roots have to be badly broken
up to get this dust mulch, then Ia
prefer to go without it. AS a matter
of fact, the dust mulch can be nam
tanned and grass and weeds kept
down without greatly disturbing the
feed roots of the growing crop.
Where heel sweeps are used, and on
sandy loan land these are excellent
for cultivating cotton, the scooter or
shovel plow ahead of the heel sweep
should be short and blunt, and the
heel sweep should skim along just
under the surface.
The manner in which late cultiva-
tion of cotton is done is Of great i'm
portance, and every farmer should
give if much thought. If cotton is to
be kept green and growing and is to
continue to put on fruit and hold it,
late cultivation must not be too deep.

Farmer.
