Send Boys and Girls to College.

The writer was greatly pleased to
hear a father who. has had a series
of financial reverses say the other
day that he expects to send his two
daughters back to college this fall,
this being their senior year, even if
he had to sell a piece of land to do
it. That's the way to look at it, for
such a decision is putting first things
first. There should be not n less
boy or girl sent to college from
Edgefield county this fall than last.
Let no sacrifice, however large, be
considered too great. After a year or
two the boy pr girl will have passed
the college age and then it will be
too late. Their destiny will have been
largely fixed.

A Woman's Prayer.
(From j. A. Stamps, Texas

(From j. A. Stamps, IeXas.)
O, God, I ask thee not for shorter
hours or higher wage: not for a lar,
ger house nor jewels rare, not idle
ease. The privilege to vote does not
my raving soul appease, and truly
not for fame or fortune, Lord, pray.
But give me a love, a husbands love,
as pure and true and fine as / give
him. Give me a man with body clean
and innocent of wrong, as he re-
quires that I should be. Give me a
man so strong, that him ! can re-
spect and trust and love. That prayer
is mine.-Essie Rock Dale.
To keep in living with the above
prayer should be the resolve of every
mar who intends to marry a virtuous
woman. All men want virtuous wives
but very few men are living a life
that would naturally merit the love
of a virtuous woman. [ have con-
tributed the above prayer in hopes
that it mill have the same impression
on other young men as it has had on
me.-Success Magazine.

Controlling the. Peach Tree
Borer.

One of the most serious enemies of
the peach tree is the peach tree Dor
|er, according to Professor ]. R. Wat
son, entomologist of the Florida Elk
pertinent Station, Gainesville. He
writes as follows concerning the
borer: =
"There are few moths (Which lay
the eggs from which the borers
|hatch) in the spring and early suns
mer, but most of them hatch out in
August and September. Immediately
after Matching the females lay eggs
on the trunk and larger limbs of the
trees, seldom over two feet above
the ground. The egg matches in "a.
week or less and the young borer
crawls down the trunk of the tree
to the ground. Its boring into the'tree
causes gum to exude. 1t feeds in the
tree through winter and spring, some
times till July. !,
"To control the insects, the earth,
should be mounded about the trees
in July to a height of a foot or a foot
and a half. Most of the adult moths
as they issue from the pupae in the
trees, will be unable to make their
way through this dirt and will perish.
HLI
The young borers which hatch out
from the eggs laid on the trunks and
limbs, encounter the mound and at
once enter the trunk of the tree ia
stead of the crown or roots. In this
situation they are easily gotten at.
GAS soon as all eggs have Matched,
which will be in October, the mound
should be leveled and the bark scrap
ed and the borers dug out: They will
not have penetrated deeply at this
time and will be easily scraped off or
dug out.
"Another remedy is to spread para
dichlorobenzene Ia white powder)
around the base of the tree (not
touching the tree) and then mound
and pack the earth about the tree.
An ounce of this powder is a dose
for a tree six or more years old. APP
ply the last of September or first OF
October. The powder gives off pois-
onous fumes which kill the borers.
Since the chemical is seldom carried
in stock by retail Druggist, growers
will find it advantageous to order it
at once for use this fall"

A Beautiful Life of Christian
Service.

Though somewhat belated, owing
to circumstances, the editor of The
Advertiser can not refrain from pay
ing a tribute to the .lamented Mr..
Henry w. Jackson who departed this
life on Saturday, July 80. In his
death Phillip church sustained the
loss of one of its most active and
most exemplary members, a deacon
of many years of faithful service.
Phillip community has lost a man
who was a tower of strength under
any and all conditions, and Edge
field county has lost a sterling citi-
zen who stood four-square to every
thing that was upright, honorable,
of good report, and for the public
welfare.
In this day of fast living and ap-
%parently growing disregard for law
and constituted authority, it seems
a pity that such a life, so pregnant
with influences and forces for good,
could not be spared on and on to re-
strain and counterfeit the forces Of
evil in the world. 1t was a great
privilege to converse with such a
man as Mr.. Jackson whose weight OF
years, with long and varied
eynerience. enabled him to speak
with profound wisdom which always
proved helpful and inspiring. For
more than three score years, we do
not know his age, Mr.. Jackson fought
a good fight and kept the faith. Now
he has entered upon eternal rest
and has received the reward prepared
only for those who are loyal and
faithful during their earthly proba-
ton. 49,,

Summer Poultry Notes.

The males and the females IN the
flock of old fowls should already have
been separated, but if this has not
vet been done, by all means get busy
and do it now. A rest during the re-
mainder of this year will mean better
fertility: next spring, a more rapid
mott this fall and more health and
contentment among the hens without
being bothered by the rooster.
The hens will lay as well or better
without the services of a male bird,
and infertile eggs have the added adj
vantage of keeping better in hot
weather.
As soon as the young cockerels be-
gin to nag and worry the pullets, they
too, should be separated. That this
will be better for the good develop
ment of the females is obvious, while
it will be better for the males be-
cause they will fatten better and
quicker as bachelors and may there
fore be sold at a greater profit.
Push. the young roosters for mar
ket-at least the ones that don't look
promising enough to keep for breed
ers. Don't keep market fowls too
long; let them go when they weigh
two pounds. A bunch of useless males
will eat up the profits. On the other
hand, save all the best of the early
pullets for winter layers. Don't let
a paltry dollar cause you to part with
a nice, big, likely looking young pull
let, because she will produce several
dollars worth of eggs for you next
winter.
The water supply for the flock of
fowls is a matter often neglected on
farms during the summertime. This
is bad practice, because pure, fresh
water is every bit as essential to the
health and comfort of poultry as to
any other kind of livestock. 1t is sur
prising how much water fowls will
drink during hot weather. See that
they get all they want and whenever
they want it. Also keep is clean and
pure.
Wheat and oats are best grain
feeds for chickens during the sum-
mer. The less corn you feed for a
while now, the better, because it is
very heating and fattening. A more
cooling food is very desirable now,
and it may be practically %non-fatten-
ing with no harmful results. Wheat
bran is good, and many people like
the plan of having it constantly be-
fore their fowls in s~elf-feeding hop
pers during the summer. They can
not eat enough of it to hurt them.
Wheat screenings are cheap and not
bad for occasional (but not regular)
use.-Farm and Ranch.

John Quincy Adams was born in
the rural home Of his distinguished
father. John Adams. In quincy,
Mass. His mother, a woman Of edu-
cation and -Sxalted worth, watched
over his childhood during the al
most constant absence Of his father.
During his first years Mrs Adams
herself taught her son the elements
OF English. At an early age young
Adams gave indication OF the unus-
ual talents and wisdom which later
made him the most learned Of our
Presidents. Few Presidents were
blessed with such noble parents. No
other President was so fortunate in
his youth TO have become associated
with so many distinguished men Of
his own country and of foreign ma
tons When but eight years Of age.
John Quincy Adams stood with his
mother upon an eminence, listening
to the booming Of the great battle
on Bunker's Hill. and gazing upon
the smoke and flame billowing up
from the connagration Of Charles
town. often, during the siege Of
Boston, he watched the shells
thrown day and night by the COM
batants.
When he was eleven years old he
sailed with his father for Paris,
where his father was TO join Frank

new nation at the French Court.
