Entered according to act of Congress, In the year 1900 for the year 1901, by The Enniss PuBiiiSHmo
Company, Proprietors and Publibhers, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
>«®-NoTK.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C ALMANAC, in honor of the late
Hkney D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it in
the year 1838.
Explanations and Remarks.
The calculations of this Alm9,nac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solar
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all other
days in the year the suti will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this diflfer-^
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each, day in the column marked '* sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32,4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."i ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for ajiy part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
Rising and Setting of the Sun.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
Incorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

Eclipses in 1901.
In the year 1901 there will be two Eclipses of the Sun, one of the Moon, and a Lunar Appulse.
I. A Lunar Appulse on May the 3d.
II. A total Eclipse of the Sun, May 17th ; invisible here. Visible to the East Indies, Slam, Hindos-
tan. Madagascar and the Indian Ocean.
III. A partial Eclipse of the Moon October 27th, not visible here; the beginning visible generally
throughout the eastern portion of Europe, in Asia, the Pacific Ocean and Alaska ; the end visible all
over Europe, the eastern part of Africa, in Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
IV. An annular Eclipse of the Hun November 10th ; Invisible here. Visible to eastern Europe, east-
ern Africa, nearly all of Asia, to Borneo, Sumatra^and the greater part of the Indian Ocean.
Tides.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of the
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for "Southport, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Obseryations.
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the
fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupied from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they aflfect Spring and Autumn nearly in the
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours
1. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as
is noted in the table.

4 TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
PUBLISHERS OF TURNER'S N. G. llLIVIflNflC,
Henry D. Turner, founder of Turner's N. C. Ai-manac, was bom May 2l8t, 1791, at Plymouth Hoi-.
^5!;!S^',^?^- He came to Raleigh In 18aO and established the famous North Carolina Book Store. In
1838 he beean the publication of Turner's N. C. Almanac. He died In Raleigh November 6th, 1866,
James H Euniss, the successor of Mr. Turner, was bim in Petersburg, Va., September 19th, 1823. He
eame to Raleigh in 1867, having purchased the North Carolina Book SU)re. He continued the publica-
tion of the Almanac under the name of Turner's N C. 'Ii.manac. in honor of the former publisher,
repeatedly enlarging and improving it. He died in Raleigh, May 22d. 1900. After his death this pop-
ular Almanac passed into the hands of its present owners and publishers, the Enniss Publishing Com-
pany.
Leap Year.
Leap Year, or Bissextile, originated with the as-
tromomers ot Julius Ceesar, 45 years B.C They
fixed the solar year at 365 days 6 hours. The six
hours were set aside, and at the end of four years,
forming a day were added to February. In 1582
the calendar was again altered by PopeGresory to
Its present state of 365 days, 6 hours. 48 minutes, 51
seconds and 6 decimals, which is the true length
of the astronomical year. So in the course of
years the fragments of time are fair en up, this
caused 1900 not to be a leap year. 1896 was our last
leap year, 1904 will be our next, making an inter-
val of seven years between, the next leap year be-
ing the eighth year lollowing the last leap year
instead of the ordinary fourth year.
Years divisible by 4 without a remainder are
•ailed leap years. Century years divisible by 400
without a remainder are also leap years.
Stars.
Of the 20,000,000 stars down to the fonrteenth
magnitude, Inclusive, 18,000,000 lie in and along
tbe Milky Way.
No star, probably, is absolutely "fixed" In space,
but every star has a "proper motion ; " that is, it
is moving in some direction among the surround-
ing stars.
The Twentieth Centnry. .
The twentieth century, which will begin on
Tuesday, January 1,1901, will have twenty four
leap years, the greatest number possible Febru-
ary will have five Sundays three times— 1920, 1976,
and 1984. The earliest pof-sible date on which
easter can occur is March 12. The last time it oc-
curred on that date was 1818. The latest date that
Easter can occur is April 25. It will occur but
one time in the coming century on that date—
1943. The middle day of the century will be Jan-
nary 1, 1951, There will be 380 eclipses during the
coming century. In 1935 there will be seven eclipses.
There will be eight solar eclipses visible in the
United States— 1918, 1923, 1925, 1945, 1954, 1979, 1984,
and 1994.
The Son's Motion.
The sun turns on its axis once in about twenty-
five days. Its equator remains always in one
plane. The earth revolves about the sun in a
plane which is Inclined to the plane of the sun's
equator by about 70 degrees ; that is, the earth is
sometimes seven degrees above (in September),
sometimes seven deerees below (in March), the
plane of the sun's equat-or. The eflect is that
sometimes one pole of the sun, sometimes the
other, is turned toward a spectator on the earth.

METEOROLOGICAL.
The velocity of light is 192,000 miles in
a second of time. From the sun light
comes to the earth in eight minutes.
From some of the fixed stars of the twelfth
magnitude it takes four thousand years
for the light to reach us.
Clouds that move in a contrary direc-
tion to that of the surface current indi-
cate a change of weather, because they
prove the existence of two air currents,
one warm and the other cold, and the
mingling of these frequently causes rain.
Sudden changes and^ dangerous wind
storms occur generally 'whenever the ba-
rometer falls suddenly from a medium
height through from one-half to three-
fourths or an inch during a few hours of
time. If the barometer occupies two or
three days in falling one-half or three-
fourths of an inch below the medium (lo-
cal) height, it then generally changes
more moderately, and raises slowly, with
a strong, dry, cool wind, often raising to
half an inch above medium height during
the next two or three days. But if the
barometer falls from half to three-fourths
of an inch from a medium height during
a few hours of time, then a strong storm,
hurricane or tornado may be expected to
be in progress somewhere not far off.
Within one year the statement has been
made from no less a place than the plat-
form of the Lowell Institute that the dis-
coveries of astronomy, so far as the power
of the telescope controlled these, seemed
to have reached the utmost possible limit
of observation, as the mere enlargement
of a telescope beyond the size of the
Yerkes did not, because of atmospheric
conditions, increase the power of obser-
vation, and now the spectroscope has been
brought into play, and the wonderful dis-
coveries regarding the true nature of the
Pole Star are startling the world. It
opens a new chapter in the romance of
astronomy. The Pole Star has been re-
garded as the one — and, indeed, the only
fixed and absolute in the universe. What-
ever changed, it was steadfast. What-
ever revolutions or process of evolution
the vast glittering firmament underwent,
this beacon light was constant. Suddenly
Professor Campbell of the Lick Observa-
tory makes a wonderful discovery. The
Pole Star is not one body, but three. It
is one of an intricate triple system, all of
which are in constant and rapid motion of
a complicated order, advancing and reced-
ing, and two of the three are revolving
about the other.
TIMES AND SEASONS.
There are two kinds of time — clock or
mean time and' apparent or sun time.
Clock time is always right, while sun time
varies every day; the sun very seldom
being on the meridian at 12 o'clock, solar
day differing in length, owing to the ellip-
ticity of the earth's orbit, etc. ; but a mean
solar day, as recorded by clock time, is
twenty-four hours long.
A calendar month varies from twenty-
eight to thirty-one days. A mean lunar
month is twenty-nine days, twelve hours,
forty-four minutes, two seconds and a
small fraction. A solar year, or the tran-
sition from one vernal equinox to another,
consists of 365,24244 solar days, or 365
days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and
49.536 seconds. A Julian year is 365 days,
a Gregorian year is 365.2425 days. Every
fourth year of leap year has 366 days.
The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, a cus-
tom adopted by the Jews or Greeks prob-
ably from the Babylonians. The day is
said to have first been divided into hours
from B. C. 293, when a sun dial was
erected in the temple of Quirinus, at
Rome. Previous to the invention of water
clocks, B. C, 158, the time was called at
Rome by public criers. In early England
one expedient for measuring time was by
wax candles, three inches burning an
hour. The first perfect mechanical clock
was not made until about A. D., 1250. Day
began at sunrise amongst most of the
Northern nations, at sunset among the
Athenians and Jews, at midnight among
the Romans, as with us.
Why Is It that. According to the Al-
manac, THE Days Commence to Lengthen
AT Night Before the Winter Solstice,
AND Continue to Shorten in the Morn-
ing A Week or More After the Solstice?
— If one observes the arrival of the sun
at the meridian with the aid of an unus-
ually accurate timepiece he will discover
that this event does not always occur ex-
actly at noon. Owing to the combined ef-
fects of the obliquity of the earth's orbit,
and the inclination of its axis, the sun
is about fifteen minutes ahead of time late
in October, fifteen minutes behind time on
February 10, four minutes ahead on May
13, and six minutes behind on July 28.
On only four days, April 15, June 15, Aug.
31 and Dec. 24 does the sun cross the
meridian exactly on time. Owing to this
wabbling of the centre of the day, its two
ends are correspondingly shifted first In
one direction and then in the other.

Father: What did you find out, my
son?
Tommy: The lamp, sir.
"So you've twins at your house, John-
nie?"
"Yes."
"What do you call them?"
"Thunder and Lightning, papa called
them."
No, sir I You can't have my daughter
and that settles it!
Will you tell me why, sir? I am her
equal in every way, and stand with a good
reputation.
That's it! That's it! You're a bank
teller, and a Sunday-school teacher, and —
and — well Canada's full now.
An old Georgia darkey, with his arm in
a sling, was talking to another on a car.
"Yes, suh!" he said, with emphasis, "Fs
gone up now, fer sho!' You see dis arm
in de sling, don't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, suh," the old man continued by
way of explanation, "I'll be eighty years
old next harvest; I done see lots er trouble
in my day, but by de grace er God I miss
de Ku-Klux, I miss de Vigilance Commit-
tee, I miss de Whitecaps en I miss de Reg-
ulators, but now, in my old age, please,
God, de Waxinators kotch en cut me!"
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy
dressing with c »mpo8t and salt. Radishes s«>w
sparsely from time to time. Horse-radish coi-
tmgs put out. Onions may still be planted, alKO
Garlic and Shallots. Lettuce plants fiom fall
sowing transplant. Spmach may be sown for
eaily spring use Onions hoe and all other hardy
crops planted in autumn. Peas pow at Intervals •
some may be frcsred, but try again. Turnips for
early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery mav be
transplanted and praned. Early FUt Dutch 'Cai»
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect p.enty of n a-
nure.
FARM UrOTES.
Work to-day, for you know not how
much you may be hindered to-morrow.
Keep all animals in dry, clean, and
well ventilated quarters. It is one of the
best preventives of sickness known.
Harness thoroughly soaked by rain is
harsh in the next wearing; keep it suit-
ably oiled that it may be partly imper-
vious.
January is the month to begin with
farm accounts. It is just as important for
a farmer to keep books as for a merchant
to do so, as he will not be able to esti-
mate the profit or loss at the end of the
year unless he knows how much has been
expended and for what purpose. By keep-
ing accounts the farmer will be more in-
terested in the market reports and be-
come better informed. He should charge
himself with articles consumed on the
farm and also keep an account against
each animal.
It requires just as much harrowing,
plowing, drilling, rolling, harvesting, etc.,
for twenty bushels per acre as for forty
bushels. Hence, if forty bushels can be
grown where only twenty bushels would
have been produced, the extra twenty
bushels is clear gain, because a certain ex-
pense must be met if the yield is only ten
bushels per acre. Save the cost by in-
creasing the yield. The first bushels all
go for cost. Every bushel beyond the cost
is profit. The labor must be applied at
all events and it should be well invested,
like every other expenditure.

JSS" A man's own interpretation of the Instinct
of fatJierh<:>od is the only thing that can furnish
him with the idea of God which is worth havmg.
It is n ) weak word. It impersonates love, but
love that can be severe, as well as tender. He
may, nay. He must punish and discipline His
wa> ward child, yet He will never, never utterjy
forsake him, nor cast him oft forever. — Rev. Dr.
A. J. Can field.
"I understand you are engaged to Miss
Long?"
"Yes; my first engagement."
"Your first?"
"'Yes; I never smelled powder before."
A Western minister, who is not always
so careful as he ought to be in making his
preaching and his practice consistent, was
lately telling some friends a story of ad-
venture. It was a long story, and the
minister's little ten-year-old girl listened
to it very intently. When he finished,
she fixed her wide open eyes upon her
father's face and said, very gravely, "Is
that true, or are you preaching now,
papa?"
A Dream:
Papa (at the breakfast table.) — ^Willie,
my boy, why are you looking so thought-
ful? Are you not feeling well?
Willie (very serious.) — Yes, papa, but I
had a strange dream this morning.
Papa.— Indeed? What was it?
Willie. — I dreamed, papa, that I died
and went to Heaven, and when St Peter
met me at the gate, instead of showing
me the way to the golden streets, as I ex-
pected, he took me out into a large field
and in the middle of the field there was a
ladder reaching away up into the sky and
out of sight. Then St. Peter told me that
Heaven was at the top, and that in order
to get there I must take the big piece of
chalk he gave me and slowly climb the
ladder, writing on each round some sin I
had committed.
Papa (laying down his newspaper). —
And did you finally reach Heaven, my
son?
Willie. — No, papa, for just as I was try-
ing to think something to write on the
second round I looked up into the sky and
saw you coming down.
Papa. — And what was I coming down
for, pray?
Willie. — That's just what I asked you,
papa, and you told me you were going for
more chalk.
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating mate-
rials for hotbeds; for which select situation pro-
tected by a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress,
grafting execute. Fruit trees and shrubbery trans-
plant. Plant early potatoes. Spinach sow, also
Radishes, Carrots, Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cab-
bage plants from different sowings, transplant
Lettuce plants. Peas plant^the extra early is the
best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage, Tomato, Eeg Plant,
Lettuce, Radish, etc Don't be deterred in your
operations for fear of loss by change of tempera-
ture, but have at hand the means of protection
against hard weather, or you will be behind your
enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Whatever else pushes you, do not
neglect manure making. The saving, mix-
ing and care of all materials adapted to
increasing your piles should be carefully
attended to.
Look well after tobacco beds. Give oc-
casional top-dressings of guano, or hen
manure, and sift plaster over the plants.
See that the beds are well drained and
kept free from weeds.
Always plant the best seed that you
can get for every crop. If your neighbor
or anybody else has some better sort be
sure to get it and get it now to be ready
when planting time comes. Remember
that one of the important points of suc-
cessful farming is to plant the best seed.
From the 15th February to the 15th
March is the proper time to sow clover
and grasses, whether upon small grain or
by themselves. Clover and orchard grass
make a good combination as they are
ready to mow at the same time. Propor-
tions per acre: Clover seed fifteen pounds,
orchard grass two bushels. Of herds and
blue grass seed sow one bushel per acre.
There is one thing in favor of the poul-
try business. With eggs and chickens the
poultry keeper can find material for a
good dinner any day, while the man with
a herd of fat steers or a drove of fat hogs
can not take off a dinner and leave the
rest until another day.
In no branch of farming is there a bet-
ter margin for profit than in the poultry
business.

4^ Let us thank God, then, first of all, for seed
time and harvest, and the b undless wealth and
blessing for which they stand. At the foundation
lies the bread question ; and the farmer and his
toll and the fruitage of that toil underlie all the
rest. In cities we overlook this too easily ; and
commerce and manufactures and organized labor,
rearing mighty structures, make us too easily to
forget the sowing and plowing, the rain and the
sunshine— Grod's benediction upon all our broad
acres, in one word— as the foundation of the whole.
—Bishop Potter.
The way a Milwaukee, justice does it: —
"Have him?" "Yes." "Have her?" "Yes."
"Married; $2.00."
A locomotive is always spoken of as
"she" because of the horrible noise it
makes when it tries to whistle.
Wife: "You certainly were green when
we got married."
;: Husband: "Yes, I must have been, but
i I've been blue ever since."
Visiting Friend. — "How are you coming
: on?"
Sick Man. — "Well, the doctors have
given me up, and now I have struck a new
way to get well. I will now give up the
doctors. I'll get even with them."
"My brodders," said a waggish colored
man to a crowd, "in all infliction, in all
ob your troubles, dar is one place you can
always find sjrmpathy."
"Whar? Whar?" shouted several.
"In de dictionary," he replied, roling
his eyes skyward.
A ragged boy about 10 years old sat on
the fence in front of an Arkansas cabin,
and just as I came up his mother came to
the door and called "Moses!" in a loud
voice. The boy did not look around, and
after a minute she called "Abraham!" He
made no move, and I was asking him the
way to Greenville when she put out her
head and called "Luke!" He did not ap-
pear to hear, and had answered me that it
was seven miles, when the mother raised
her vcice still higher and shouted "Mark!"
"Your mother is calling you," I said,
as he paid no attention.
"No, not me," he replied.
"But who, then?"
"My brothers over in the woods. She's
called for Moses, Abraham, Luke and
Mark. She'll call for Philetus, Jeremiah,
Judas and Abel, and if they don't come
she'll yell out for Ananias, and that'll
mean me, and I'll jump."
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plant*
from winter beds, especially the large York.
Fresh beds of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale,
and Rhubarb and Strawberry set out ; plant Peas,
Potatoes, Onion Sets and early Corn: sow Cab-
bage, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Beets, Egg Plants,
Leek, Lettuce, Mustard. Melons in hotbeds, Okra,
Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper, at the close of {the
month. Radish, Salsify, Spinach, Turnips and
Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Plow deep while sluggards sleep; and
you shall have com to sell and keep.
Many farmers are too much in a hurry
to do spring plowing. It does not pay to
plow soil where there is much clay while
the furrow is wet and the soil sticks to
the plowshares.
There are thousands of farmers now
plodding along in ruts who should get out
of them. They own their land and it is
their own fault if they do not make it pro-
duce the largest profit that in any way
they can get from it.
Scientists say that 40 per cent of the
feeding value of the corn crop is in the
stalks when properly cared for, yet where
the most corn has been grown, this part
of the crop has often been wasted, or util-
ized only in a careless fashion that saved
but a small portion of it.
Tobacco dust made from stems, etc., is
very useful to sprinkle over the beds to
keep off the green fly, and to protect
young melon, squash and cucumber plants
from the bugs by sprinkling them with it
often. It also has useful properties as a
fertilizer, being rich in potash and nitro-
gen.
Cultivation of a crop does not imply
that the crop must be plowed, or the
ground dug up, thereby injuring the roots
and often retarding the growth of plants.
The first duty is to plow deeply, and har-
row the soil fine before seeding. After
the seed is in it is only necessary to stir
the top soil an inch or two to destroy
young grass and weeds and to provide a
mulch by keeping the top of the soil loose.

an augry tongue, for stopping the ear to a tale
bearer, for disbelieving most of the ill reports, for
being kind lo the distressed fjr doing good to all
men, for asking pardon for all wrongs, lor speak-
ing evil of no one, for being courteous to all.— The
Outlook.
"John," said one little urchin to an-
other, the other day, "John, does your
schoolmaster ever give you any rewards
of merit?" "I s'pose he does," was the
rejoinder; "he gives me a lickin' every
day, and says I merits two."
Peckley — "My wife wants to have a por-
trait in oil of her mother, but the old lady
is dead, and we have no likeness of her
except this photograph. Could you make
a portrait from that?"
Daubley — "Oh, yes; I will promise to
give you a speaking likeness."
Peckley — "That won't do. I don't want
that kind."
Jack. — "Do come out on the beach for a
stroll, won't you?"
Ethel. — "Well, if you press me — "
Jack (flinging his arms around her) —
"Why, of course, I'll press you, my dar-
ling."
Ethel (struggling blushingly) — "Oh, I
didn't mean that. I was going to say^ if
you press me I suppose I must."
"I assure you, judge, that my physician
is responsible for my being a thief."
"Do you mean to say that he hypnotized
you and compelled you to commit a
crime?"
"I won't say that, but I do know that he
ordered me to take something before go-
ing to bed." ;
Another Bright Boy. — A young lady
has a Sunday School class of rather bright
boys averaging between seven and nine
years. Recently she requested each pupil
to come on the following Sunday with
some passage of Scripture bearing upon
love. The lads heeded the request and in
turn recited their verses bearing upon
that popular topic, such as "Love your
enemies," "Little children, love one an-
other," etc. The teacher said to the boy
whose turn came last, "Well Robbie, what
iB your verse?" Rising, he responded,
"Song of Solomon, second chapter, fifth
verse — 'Stay me with flagons, comfort me
with apples; for I am sick of love.' "
Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peaa,
Patatoes. Beets, Corn, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips,
Cucumber, Squashes, Pumpkin, Radish, Tomato,
Okra, Carrots, earsnlp?, Celery, Salsify, Pepper,
Lettuce, Egg Plant. Plants set out in February
and March will require culture. Sow Leeks for
winter use. Sow Druahead, Flat Dutch and
Drumhead Savoy Cabbage seed for plants to be
set out in June. Beans may now be planted, drill
Lettuce if intended to head ; draw up earth to Po-
tato vines. Turnips sowed last month should be
hoed and thinned. Transplant spring-sowed Cab-
bage and manure well if you expect fine heads.
Citron and Watermelon plant. Small Onions set
out in Autumn will now be fit for use. Aspara-
gus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminate
weeds. Additional root crops may now be sown.
Transplant all kinds of perennial kerbs. Remem-
ber to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOT£S.
i.ack of selling ability keeps many
farmers from getting top market prices.
Taking the chill from drinking water
for the cows in winter is beneficial.
Diversified farming enables the farmer
to have some crop nearly always ready
for market.
Credit tempts the buyer regardless of
economy. Ready cash purchasers save
money in the end.
That sheep are more profitable for the
average farmer than cattle, and especially
for those owning hilly or broken farms,
can not be denied, as sheep will thrive
where a steer will starve, and for renew-
ing worn out and run down farms they
have no equal, as they soon rid the land
of weeds, briars and brush, while their
manure is rich and is distributed evenly
over the surface of the soil.
Paris green destroys all the insects
which attack the grape vine, and the black
rot, the downy and powdery mildew, and
the anthracnose or rust can be prevented
from doing harm by the use of Bordeaux
mixture and copper sulphate solution. Do
not use Bordeaux mixtures after the
grapes are half grown. Spraying the
vines every year regularly seems to give
them more strength and give larger and
better crops after a few years of treat-

"There are lots of people," says a Texas
paper, "who mix their religion with bus-
iness, but forget to stir it up well. As a
result the business invariably rises to the
top."
Elevator Boy (to old Mr. Kentuck, who
has just arrived at the hotel) — "Will you
take an elevator, sir?"
Old Kentuck (smiling broadly) — "Waal,
I don't keer ef I do. I'm feeling a little
low spirited jes' at present."
Wee Johnnie curled up in his little cot bed
Through a rift in the curtain saw the
shining moon peep;
He rose on his knees and with clasped
hands he said:
"Please, Dod, blow your lamp out — me
tan't do to sleep."
"Charles," she said, as she brushed the
hair back from his forehead as he sat
reading the paper yesterday moming,"-
"Why is a watchdog smaller in the morn-
ing than he is at night?" "He ain't."
"Yes he is." "Because he has to be let
out at night and taken in in the morning."
A little girl observed her mother meas-
uring cloth by holding it up to her nose
with one hand and reaching out ta arm's
length with the other. She assumed a
thoughtful aspect, and after cogitating a
few moments, asked: "How can you
measure cloth that way? Can you smell
a yard?"
May. — "Charley, you must be careful
and not expose yourself. You were out in
all that rain last night."
"Charley. — "No, I wasn't. What made
you think so?"
May. — "Why, papa came home and said
he met you coming from the lodge, and
that you were thoroughly soaked."
"Papa, didn't you whip me once for bit-
ing little Tommy?" "Yes, my child; you
hurt him very much." "Well, then, papa,
you ought to whip sister's music master,
too; he bit sister, yesterday afternoon,
right on the mouth; and I know it hurt
her, because she put her arms around his
neck and tried to choke him."
Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower,
etc.; hoe them frequently and draw earth to the
stems; thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots,
Parsnips and Salsify, and sow all kinds omitted
last month. Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce,
Tomato, Egg Plant from hotbeds to warm borders.
Plant Beans, bush or bunch, for a succession;
Lima, Carolina and other pole Beans, Cabbage
plants, sow seed if not done last month, also Car-
rot, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Indian Corn crops
which have failed first s wmg. Repeat Melons,
Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkin and
Squash. Sow Cabbage for winter ; corn plant for
succession. Finish sowing all kinds of Aromatic,
Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FAltM NOTES.
The wise farmer has plenty of work
planned for a rainy day.
Discussing politics at the village store
is mighty poor farming.
It is the many little things well done
on the farm, that bring success.
More farm implements wear out from
rest and neglect than from use.
After all, the best big crop on the farm
is the bushels or pounds and not acres.
This is something that should be regarded
more than it now is.
Every farmer ought to strive to increase
the yield per acre of each crop grown and
if he does not he is not making progress.
It can be done and every farmer should
say, It shall be done.
Sweet potato slips may be set out this
month. If the weather is dry dip the
slips in a grout of clay and dung, press
the dirt to the roots and fill in lightly
around the stem. Pour a gill of water
into each hill before the loose dirt is
thrown around the stem.
It is frequently noticed that when
watermelons come up among the sweet
potatoes they seem to thrive better than
when planted the usual way. This is
due to the fact that the sweet potato and
melon vines cover he ground, shade it,
and prevent the loss of moisture from
the soil. In other words, the sweet potato
vine* serve as a mulch for the melon.

Franklin.
A kiss is three parts of speech — a tran-
sitive verb, an invisible noun and a vis-
ible conjunction.
What robe is that which you do not
weave, you can not buy, no one can sell,
needs no washing, and lasts forever? Robe
of Righteousness.
Why are the laddies the biggest thieves
in existence? Because they steel their
petticoats, bone their stays, crib their
babies, and hook their dresses.
An embarrassed young man, who had
just been married by a clergyman, not
knowing how to express his gratitude, in
handing over a small fee said:
"I hope to give you more next time."
A young mother was giving to her son,
aged five years, a touching description of
the misery into which the prodigal son
had fallen. "Far away from home and
his kind father, obliged to take care of
swine, with nothing to eat but the husks
of corn left by them," etc. "Then, why
didn't he eat the pig?" was the practical
reply.
"You wish to be relieved from jury
duty, but you havn't given a good reason,"
said the judge.
"It's public spirit," said the unwilling
juryman, "on the score of economy. I
have dyspepsia, your honor, and I never
agree with anybody. If I go on this jury
there'll be a disagreement, and the court
will have to go to the expense of a new
trial."
"Excused," said the judge.
Clinical Professor (to patient) — What
is your occupation?
Patient (with bronchial catarrh)— A
musician, sir.
Professor (to the students) — Here, gen-
tlemen, I have an opportunity of clini-
cally demonstrating to you a fact to which
I've frequently referred in the lecture-
room — namely, that fatigue and the re-
spiratory efforts called for by the act of
blowing on wind instruments are a fre-
quent cause of the affection from which
this man is suffering. (To patient.) On
what instrument do you play?
Patient — The big drum, sir.

Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans. Peas, Pumpkin seed, Sum-
mer Radish, Beets; thin out tbe latter planted:
Sow Tomatoe-^ for a suf^cession; sow Beets ana
Carrots; transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucum-
ber; Melocsaod Squashes may be planted for a
succession, also Corn. As herbs come into flower
they should be cut and put in a shady place to
dry. Thecbief labor of the garden had better be
directed to what is already in growth.
FARM NOTES.
A day's neglect to repair a break in a
fence, may cause cattle to become breechy.
Pure bred stock costs no more to keep
than common, and they are more profit-
able.
It is the slack farmer who cries out that
"farming does not pay." His methods
would not let it pay.
An old clover sod, plowed under now,
and the soil given an application of wood
ashes, is one of the best locations for late
potatoes or corn. It is also the best
ground for late cabbage, as the cut-worms
will then be less injurious.
Grain crops should be put in small
shocks, and in four days of good weather
may be housed or stacked. It is bad pol-
icy to leave grain crops long in the field.
"Save that already made" is a safe maxim
in farm life.
Curculio of the plum stings the fruit
while it is quite small. The trees should
be jarred in early morning, beginning
when they are just passing out of flower
and the sluggish beetles caught on a sheet
opened beneath the tree for the purpose.
Afterward those caught on the sheet
should be burned.
Grape Vines. — If mildew makes its ap-
pearance the vines should receive a thor-
ough dusting of sulphur at frequent inter-
vals until it is subdued. A still morning
is the best time to do the dusting, using a
bellows to throw the sulphur on to the
under side of the leaves. The presence of
mildew is known by the white spots which
it makes on the leaves, and afterwards,
if not attended to, upon the clusters of
fruit.

Table.— 1, 2, 3, 4, very warm ; 5, 6, fair; 7, 8, 9, 10,

1^~ We are like soldiers in a vast, widely ex-
tended battlefield, wrapped in obscurity, of wtiich
we know not the phases, of which we seem utterly
powerless to control the issues; but we are respon-
sible for our own part,— whatever goes on else-
where, let us not fail in that. The changes of the
World, which men think they are bringing about,
are In ihe hands of God. With him, when we have
done our duty, let us leave them.— Dean Church.
Wigg — "Young pop suffers terribly from
insomnia." Wagg — "Indigestion?" Wiggs
—"No; twins."
Why is a clock the most modest piece
of furniture? Because it covers its face
with its hands, and runs down its own
works.
Husband — "Maria, my dear you seem
to be very lonesome in my company. Do
you not love me now as you did before our
marriage?" Wife — "Why, of course, Ger-
ald, but you know since our marriage we
have become one and I feel lonesome."
American Heiress — "Dear Max, I would
be yours, but I lack faith. Are you really
and truly a count?"
Max Von Spiegeleisen — \"I s.wear it,
peautiful laty."
A. H. — "Have you ever borrowed a dol-
lar from my brother?"
M. Von S.— "I haf not."
A. H. — "And — pardon me — do you pay
your board and laundry bills promptly?"
M. Von S.— "I do."
A. H. — "Are your gambling debts all
paid?"
M. Von S. — "Effery one, sweetheart."
A. H. (sadly) — "Then farewell forever!
You are no count. Out of my sight, in-
stantly! Begone!" (Faints.)
A surgeon who is often absent-minded
was dining at the house of a friend.
"Doctor," said the lady of the house,
"as you are so clever with the knife, we
must ask you to carve the leg of mutton."
"With pleasure," was the reply.
And setting to work, he made a deep in-
cision in the joint of meat. Then (what-
ever was he thinking about?) he drew
from his pocket a bundle of lint, together
with several linen bandages, and began
to bind up the "wound" in due form.
The guests were stricken dumb at the
sight. But he, still deeply absorbed in
thought, suddenly looked up and re-
marked, triumphantly:
"With rest and care he will soon be bet-
ter!"
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper
Plants, Cauliflower and Broccoli Sow Carrots
and Parsnips if needed; sow Endive for early crop:
a few turnips may be sown; transplant Celery for
early supply, and prepare trenches lor the main
crop. Spinach may be sown towards the last of
the month. Irish Potatoes plant Cucumbers for
Pickles; plant Beans; sow Cabbage seed for Col-
lards; sow Summer Radish in drills; sow Turnip-
roottd Cabbage seed ; cut Fennel, Mint, Parsley,
Sweet Majoram, Thyme, Winter Savoy. Cut herbs
for winter use as they come into flower.
FARM NOTES.
Small fruits should be a source of reve-
nue on the farm.
Sheep are great weed destroyers, and
will quickly improve land.
Guess work will not determine what
pays on the farm; knowing brings profits.
Tobacco now needs careful working,
that the grass may be destroyed, and the
land left clean and porous.
Women should know how to harness a
horse. Emergencies may arise when such
knowledge would be valuable.
Sweet Potatoes. — Keep perfectly clean
— if necessary the middles may be plough-
ed and the earth drawn up to the, vines
with a hoe. It is not well to disturb the
beds much after the vines have fairly be-
gun.
Buckwheat is best sown about the mid-
dle of the month. Put your land in good
condition, apply one hundred and fifty
pounds of a good superphosphate, sow
from a half a bushel to three pecks of
seed, harrow it in and roll.
Rutabaga Turnip. — Sow this month.
Ashes and superphosphates are proper fer-
tilizers. Sow in new land or a good sandy
loam. Plant root crops and save your
corn, the too much feeding of which is
now said to be the cause oi hog cholera.
Fall potatoes should be kept clean; no
other crop suffers so much from neglect.
Keep the soil light and clean, and if prac-
ticable give one or two top dressings of
a mixture of ashes, salt and plaster, say
a bushel or two to the acre.

4®= We are apt to underrate the moral quality
of a man's regular vocation, his daily ta«k, his
^husinees, to look somewhere apart from this for
his opportunity for achieving character and doing
good. But there is nothing else that is so delermi-
Ditiveuf a man's chara'^ter. nothing else that so
burnishes hands for his oeneflcenseandieetto run
•errands of good will — John v . Chadwick.
Why are ships called she? Because
they always keep a man on the look out.
Why is a woman mending her stocking
deformed? Because her hands are where
her feet belong.
Why is a pig the most extraordinary
animal in creation? Because you first
kill him and then cure him.
What is the difference between an auc-
tion and sea sickness? One is the sale of
effects, the other the effects of a sail.
Why should the sea make a better
housekeeper than the earth? Because the
earth is exceedingly dirty, and the sea is
very tidey.
"My son," said an old lady, "how must
Jonah have felt when the whale swallowed
him?" "Down in the mouth," was the
young hopeful's reply.
"Johnny," said a fond mother to her
boy, "which would you rather do — speak
French or Spanish?" "I would rather,"
said Johnny, rubbing his wristband and
looking expressively at tSe table, "I would
rather talk Turkey."
"Well, Mr. Smithers, did your boy John
get through his examinations at college
all right?" asked the rector.
"Not all of 'em," said Mr. Smithers, "He
passed in Latin, Greek, English and math-
ematics, but he flunked on football."
A young wife remonstrated with her
husband, a dissipated spendthrift, for his
conduct. "Love," said he, "I am like the
prodigal son; I shall reform by and by."
"I will be like the prodigal son, too," she
replied, "for I will arise and go to my
father."
In his "Lighter Moment," the late Bish-
op Walsham How tells of a lady, a great
admirer of a certain preacher, who took
Bishop Magee with her to hear him, and
asked him afterward what he thought of
the sermon. "It was very long," the
Bishop said. "Yes," said the lady, "but
there was a saint in the pulpit." "And a
iinartyr in the pew," rejoined the Bishop.
Garden CaleiYdar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans; prepare ground for Tur-
nips, Spinach, Shallots, and sow Cabt»age S"ed to
head in November. Large York and Earlv Dwarf
and Flat Dutch are excellent varieties at this sea-
son. Sow GoUard seed, earth up Celery Broccoli
and Cauliflower sow, and transplant from an early
sowing. Onion sets to stand winter. Carrors sow,
Squashes sow, Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table
use at intervals. Potatoes plant for winter use.
Lettuce drill for heading, sow Lettuce for Autumn
use. Radishes sow from time to tlm^-. Beeis may
be sown for wiuter supply, but as the seed v<ge-
tate with diflBculty at this season, rf^peat until
successful ; cut sage and other herbs, gather seed
and prepare ground for late crops.
FARM NO TBS.
Neat home surroundings denote a good
farmer.
Milk cows regularly, and do not change
milkmen.
A varied diet with a litile corn is best
for the large breeds of poultry.
Weeding out unprofitable stock on the
dairy farm is what brings success.
It requires just as much knowledge to
successfully run a small farm as a large
one.
Turnips may be sown at any time this
month. One pound to the acre is suffi-
cient if sown broadcast, which is the mode
generally adopted. Superphosphate of
lime seems especially suited for turnips,
and about 200 pounds to the acre will not
only give them a vigorous start but carry
them through the season so as to pro-
duce a good crop.
The Pork Supply. — Hogs intended for
slaughter the coming winter should begin
to receive close attention. Should any
signs of disease appear among your stock,
they had better be taken from the woods
and turned into a pasture for a few days,
feeding them in the meantime on boiled
slops and vegetables. An occasional mess
of cooked food is very good for the health
of hogs at any season. The messes should
be well impregnated with red pepper, and
physicked with copperas, a teaspoonful to
each animal. The copperas causes the liv-
er to act well, and brings away the worms.

ii^ Salvation is not the petty conception of per-
sonal safety from some far-off doom. It is the
saving of the whole man ; it is the domination of
the higher nature over the lower; it is the educa-
tion of the spiritual, the development, the evolu-
tion of the God in us. that divine spark in all
humanity that can never be wholly extinguished.
—William D. Little.
What kind of essence does a young man
like when he pops the question? Acqui-
escence.
Why can not a deaf man be legally con-
victed? Because it is unlawful to con-
demn a man without a hearing.
Askin — "Why do these Populistic sil-
verites do so much talking?" Teller —
"I suppose they believe in the old saying
that silence is golden."
Judge — "Accused, you want the trial de-
layed because your lawyer is sick, but
you have confessed to a fresh crime. What
can your lawyer say for you?"
Defendant — "That's what I am curious
to know, your Honor,"
She wished to break it to him gently.
"I have decided," she said, "to return your
ring." He, however, was a resourceful
man, who did not believe in letting a
woman get the better of him. "You
needn't bother," he replied. "I buy them
by the dozen."
"I never go to the same summer resort
twice," said the girl with auburn hair.
"I always like a change." "Anything
fresh where you are this summer?" asked
the girl with blue eyes. "Only a couple
of young men just out of college," replied
the auburn-haired one.
"I beg your pardon!" And with a smile
and a touch of his hat Harry Edmon hand-
ed to an old man against whom he had ac-
cidentally stumbled the cane which he had
knocked from his hand. "I hope I did not
hurt you."
"Not a bit," said the old man. "Boys
will be boys."
"I'm glad to hear it," and lifting his hat
again Harry turned to join his playmates.
"What do you raise your hat to that old
fellow for?" asked Charlie Gray. "He is
old Giles, the huckster."
"That makes no difference," said Harry.
"The question is not whether he is a gen-
tleman, but whether I am one, and no true
gentleman will be less polite to a man be-
cause he wears a shabby coat or hawks
vegetables through the streets." — Author
unknown.
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced In
earnest. Draw up earth to the pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans ;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown ; towards
the end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drum-
head and Early large Cabbage seed to come up in
the spring, and to secure a good supply sow liber-
ally ; transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli ; sow
Turnips. Potatoes planted last month will require
culture. Onions may be sown for a general crop
if buttons to plant are not on hand. Carrots sown
will be fit for use In Df cember. Spinach may be
sown from time to time. Celery plants need til-
lage. Lettuce may be transplanted. Sow Rad-
ishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
Failures should be teachers; they show
what it is necessary to avoid.
Old-time methods are slow coaches ia
comparison with present facilities.
Rye, — If not done sow rye for pasture
and early forage. It will grow on poorer
land than any of the small grains and is
exceedingly nutritious for stock.
Shelter for Stock. — Before cold weath-
er comes on, see that the stables are made
comfortable. Nine farmers out of ten
never make any change from winter to
summer, or summer to winter.
Have the stables tight below, protecting
the legs and body from cold drafts and see
that proper ventilation is secured above.
Provide plenty of litter. Cut straw is the
best. It makes nice bedding and nice
manure.
Drying Fruit. — Those who expect to
dry peaches and apples this season to
command the best prices, follow these di-
rections: Cut clear-stone peaches in
halves and dry with peeling on. Peel
clingstone and slice in large pieces. Peel
and cut apples in quarters, taking out the
cores, as those will be most in demand and
bring the best price for shipment. All
dried fruits sell principally by color,
which should be bright, and to obtain the
same in apples and peaches, they should
be prepared for drying before fully ripe.
Sliced apples, if not bright do not pay for
the trouble of slicing.

4^ Cheerfulness is allied to courage and faith,
and comes from strength that rests on th« eternal.
When it becomes a settled habit it is one of life's
richest blessings. If we believe truly in God and
his goodness we must be cheerful ; for his wisdom,
IK>wer and love are omnipotent. If trials and suf-
fering come to Ub, we can endure them.— Charles
M. Murdoch.
Is a boy's mother his father when she
is a sigher?
It is a man's head that enables him to
foot his bills.
The average inkstand refuses to upset
until it gets full.
Many a woman keeps a dark secret in
a bottle labeled "hair dye."
Why is a chicken-pie like a gunsmith's
shop? Because it contains fowl-in-pieces.
She — "Hubby, dear, which would you
rather pay, the butcher's bill qr the bill
for my new hat?"
He — "The butcher's bill, of course! (She
gives him the bill.) What? Forty dol-
lars!"
She — "But you must remember that this
is an old debt."
He — "Explain it for me."
She — "I'll do it for you. One dollar and
seventy cents for the meat; thirty cents
tip- money for the butcher's boy and $38
I borrowed from the butcher to buy the
new hat."
A traveler was riding on one of the
coaches in the Trossachs of Scotland,
when the driver said to him:
"I've a coin guv to me today two hun-
dred years old. Did you ever see a coin
two hundred years old?"
"Oh, yes," was the reply. "I have one
myself two thousand years old."
"Ah," said the driver, "have ye?" And
lie spoke no more during the rest of the
journey.
When the coach arrived at its destina-
tion, the driver came up to the man with
an intensely self-satisfied air and said:
"I told you as we came along that I had
a coin two hundred years old."
"Yes."
"And you said to me as you had one two
thousand years old."
"Yes, so I have."
"Now, you be a liar!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? Why— it's only 1899
now!"
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted ]ast month cultivate. Cabbage
transplant, also Cauliflower and Br< ccoli. Tur-
nips hoe. Onions sowti lasi month will be ready
to transplant; small bulb onions eet out. Spinach
for winter use sow. CeJerj' earth up in dry weather
and transplant from the bed for further supplies,
also Lettuce for Spring use. Radishes sow as re-
quired ; \sparagus beds dress ; Strawberries trans-
plant. Tafce up potatoes and other roots, secure
them from wet and frost; collect Pumpkins and
Winter Squashes, and expose them to the winds
and air on a dry bench before they are stowed
away.
FARM NOTES.
Farmers should have everything ready
in advance of the season's change.
Timely attention on the farm brings a
bountiful record; neglect the opposite re-
sult.
It costs less to maintain docile farm
animals, and the docility of the animal is
an evidence that the farmer is humane.
The fall is a good time in which to at-
tend to draining the farm. The impor-
tance of attending to this work is now
generally admitted. The result will re-
pay the labor expended.
Fall plowing should not be neglected.
Much valuable time and labor is in this
way saved in the spring and some spring
crops will thrive better on land plowed
at this time. Plow all now which are to
be sown with spring grain.
Pumpkins are usually kept in the barn
loft and covered with hay, being used only
as a change of food. If a large crop of
pumpkins are grown they should have a
special place, but they keep best when
protected by a covering of hay or straw.
They are highly relished by stock, and
may be sliced and fed raw.
The arts of feeding and of caring for
and applying manure never needed to be
better understood or more faithfully prac-
ticed than at the present time. Farming
has become the most intensive business in
the world, and intensive, skillful, thought-
ful methods must be employed, if even
good living is to be got out of the avo-
cation.

i>^ There Is no action so slight nor so mean but
it may be done to a great purpose, and ennobled
therefore; nor is any purpose so great but that
slight actions may help it, and may be so done as
to help it much, most especially that chief of all
purposes— the pleasing of God.— John Ruskin.
What kind of sickle is most seen in
winter? Ice sickle.
What lock requires the attention of a
physician ? Lock-jaw.
What ship is it that no woman objects
to embark in? Court-ship.
What is that which is full of holes and
yet holds water? A sponge.
Why is the letter S likely to prove dan-
gerous in argument? Because it turns
words into s-words.
At a dinner party recently a dude found
himself seated between two young men
who had just started a merchant tailoring
establishment. "I — aw — have been placed
between two — aw — tailors, it seems," said
he. "Yes," replied one of the tailors;
"you see, we are beginners, and at present
can only afford one goose between us."
"So you are looking for a position," said
the merchant to the youth with the high
collar and noisy necktie. "What can you
do?"
"Oh, any old thing," replied the young
man. "Of course I don't expect the
junior partnership at the start, but I want
to be sure of an early rise."
"Very well," replied the merchant, "I'll
make you assistant janitor. You will rise
at 4 o'clock every morning and sweep the
floors."
A well-known divinity professor, a
grave and learned man, had five daugh-
ters, whom his students irreverently
named "Genesis," "Exodus," "Numbers,"
"Leviticus" and "Deuteronomy."
Begining his lecture one day the pro-
fessor said: "Gentlemen, I wish to speak
to you about the age of Genesis."
Roars of laughter came from the stu-
dents.
"Genesis is not so old as you suppose,'
continued the professor.
More roars — so long continued, indeed,
that the worthy man had time to think be-
fore he made the next remark. He said
timidly — and he managed to hit the mark
this time:
"I may not be thinking of the same Gen-
esis as you are!"
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows
against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact,
close growing bed. the roots and stems buried up
to the lower leaves of the cabbages, the beds may
then be covered with straw, or a temporary shed
erected over them. Beets dig and store. Carrots
dig and store. Celery earth up finally. Onions In
store examine. Turnips and Salsify dig for con-
venient access. Now is a good time to transplant
fruit and ornamental trees and shrubbery. Spring
is generally a better time for transplanting ever-
greens.
FARM NOTES.
The Japan persimmon, grafted on our
wild persimmon, is said to be a grand
success.
Trim your fruit trees so as to give a
free, open top, no two limbs touching or
crossing each other.
Charcoal is an aid to digestion, and
should be given occasionally to fowls and
swine. Corn burned on the cob is the
best form in which to give it.
For almost all farm crops it is better to
mix mineral fertilizers with stable ma^
nure, and apply the whole thinly, than to
fertilize altogether with either.
Potash fertilizers have decidedly proved
the desirable qualities of fruits. Wherev-
er the percentage of this element has
been raised, the change is accompanied
by an increase of sugar and a decrease of
acid. This is important — a matter of dol-
lars and cents. Other things being equal,
the fruit with the largest per cent of sugar
will bring the highest price.
Every device for saving labor in the
management of our farm work, should be
taken advantage of. Every farmer must
realize that the profits in his business at
the present time are often wiped out by
the cost of production, while prices re-
ceived for farm products have a down-
ward tendency in the markets of the
country. This is attributable largely to
annual increase in supply, but more par-
ticularly to the bad methods employed by
the Southern farmer in marketing his pro-
duce.

-e®* And when in the evening of life, the golden
clouds rest 6Wt:€tly and m viiiogly upon the golden
mountains, and the light of neaVen streams down
through the gatheriug inibts of death, 1 wish you
a peaceful and abuuuaut eoirauce into the Wv^rid
of blessedness wneie the great riadie of life will
be unfuloea to you in the quick consciousness of
a soul redeemed and purified.— J. G. Holland.
What is the difference between a school-
master and a railroad conductor? One
trains the mind and the other minds the
train.
There is in Memphis a certain old lady
who always has a kind word for every-
body, and it matters not what the atro-
cious crime or misdemeanor on^ may com-
mit, this old lady finds some extenuating
circumstances in the case and some way
to excuse the imrpetrator. Her son one
day, provoked by what he considered un-
due waste of sympathy, exclaimed in dis-
gust, "Mother, I do believe you would see
some good in the devil himself!" "Well,
my son," quietly and quickly returned the
old lady, "I only wish that you had one-
half of his perseverance! "
His Example Was Premature. — A
buildW in Glasgow, having heard that his
men did not start to work at the proper
time, thought that he would drop down
about 6.30 some morning to see. Going
up to the yard he caught sight of a jointer
standing smoking, with his kit unopened.
Simply asking his name, which he found
to be Malcom Campbell, he called him
into his ofl&ce and, handing him four
days' pay, told him to leave at once. Af-
ter having seen the man clear out of the
yard he went up to the foreman and told
him he had made an example of Malcom
Campbell by paying him off for not start-
ing at the proper time.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed the foreman,
that chap was only looking for a job."
CHRISTMAS WEATHER PROVERBS.
A warm Christmas, a cold Ea.ster.
A light Christmas, a heavy sheaf.
A green Christmas, a white Easter.
A green Christmas makes a fat grave-
yard.
A wind on Christmas day, trees will
bring much fruit.
If' Christmas finds a bridge, he'h break
it; if he finds none, he'll make one.
If ice will bear a man before Christ-
mas, it will not bear a man afterward.
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now
be attended t«>. if the weather be open the ground
may be ploughed or trenched to receive the bene-
fits of the winter frost. Compost prepare ; dung
prepare for hotbeds. Hotbeds attend to. Radish
and 8alad sow in frames, also Lettuce. Trans-
planting treffe nay still be done. Prune fruit
trws, vines, et<5. Transplant all hardy plants.
Cabbage plants sown in Oct'>ber will be fit to put
out. Sow large York to head in January and Feb-
ruary. Small Onions may still be planted. Earth
up Celery in d y weather. Thin Spinach as you
collect for dally use.
FARM NOTES.
Never break off a limb on a valuable
tree ; always make a smooth cut.
It is found by trial that horses watered
before being fed grain gained faster than
those watered afterward.
It is a correct observation that nine-
tenths of our orchards are planted too
close, and their usefulness is greatly im-
paired thereby. Give each permanent tree
plenty of room.
Attend now to clearing up around the
home lot, utilizing all leaves, etc., for bed-
ding and manure. See, also, if it has not
already been attended to, that all the
buildings are sufficiently tight to protect
the stock from the inclemency of the
weather.
Not every man knows how to dig up
and set a tree. In digging up a tree the
edge of the blade of the spade should al-
ways point to the tree and a little trench
be dug some distance from the trunk. By
this means no roots are severed that are
useful. In setting it out the roots should
not be bunched or cramped.
Clean and put away all tools which are
not now needed. If it pays to clean them
when in use, much more will it prove
economy to bestow extra care upon them
before laying them aside for the winter.
The iron should be dressed with some
preparation, such as the following: "Rosin
and beeswax in the proportion of four of
rosin to one • of wax, melted together."
Apply hot. It may also be well to paint
the woodwork.

D. L. LEE, Pres
Estimating Net Weights of Animals.
It Is a very difficult thing to ascertain with any
degree of certainty the probable net dressed
weight of an animal when alive, the gross weight
of which can be found on the scales. So much
depends upon the breed, size and degree of fatness
—in other words, the thickness of the flesh upon
the frame.
A cow or an ox well fatted, weighing l,2(to
pounds when alive, will give close to 800 pounds
of dressed beef when slaughtered. But one in
the same condition weighing 2,000 pounds will
give a larger proportion of dressed meat. A
sheep of 100 pounds live weight rarely gives more
than 60 pounds dressed mutton, while one of 200
pounds live weight will often dress 140 pounds or
more. On hogs the shrinkage Is much less, usu-
ually in well bred, weH fed animals over 200
pounds gross not exceeding one-seventh. The
following rule for estimating the dressed weight
of live hogs we find in a late number of the JVa-
tional Live Stock Journal: "From the first 100
pounds deduct 25 pounds, from gross; from the
second 100 pounds deduct 12>^ pounds; from the
third 100 pounds deduct 6}i pounds ; all over the
third 100 Is net. Thus a hog of 300 pounds live
weight will give 256>^ net weight, and as a general
rule 43% pounds only should be allowed for
shrinb age on every hog of 300 pounds or over. A
hog of 100 pounds will net 75 pounds ; one of 150
pounds, ns^; one of 2C0 pounds, 1623^; one of 250
pounds, 209%."

HEALTH AND HYGIENE.
Hygiene of the Eye.
When the eyes ache close them for five
minutes.
When they burn bathe them in water
as hot as can be borne, with a dash Ol
witch hazel in it.
After weeping bathe them in rose water
and lay a towel wet in rose water over
them for five minutes.
When they are bloodshot sleep more.
When the whites are yellow and the
pupils dull consult your doctor about
your diet.
Milk for Disordered Stomach.
Milk disagrees with some, but only
when taken in conjunction with other
foods; taken solely for one month the
stomach will resume its pristine vigor,
and give new life and happiness to per-
sons aflaicted with ills which no one,
save those who have experimented on the
subject, would believe could proceed from
so simple a cause as a disordered stomach.
Eating Apples at Night.
Everybody ought to know that the ver>
best thing he can do is to eat apples just
before going to bed. The apple has re-
markably efiicacious medicinal properties.
It is an excellent brain food, because it
has more phosphoric acid in easily digest-
ed shape than other fruits. Ic excites the
action of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects
the mouth. It helps the kidney secretions
and prevents calculus growths, while it
relieves indigestion and is one of the best
preventives known for diseases of the
throat. No harm can come to even a del-
icate system by the eating of ripe and
juicy apples before retiring for the night.
— Dr. Searles in the Bulletin of Pharmacy.
Lemons for Lung Diseases.
Lemons are regarded as excellent thei-
apeutic agents in lung diseases, and many
instances have recently been placed on
record where they have been of great ben-
efit. When used for a lung trouble from
six to nine a day should be used. More
juice is obtained from lemons by boiling
them, says the Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic.
Put the lemons in cold water and bring
slowly to a boil. Boil slowly until they
begin to soften; remove from the water,
and when cold enough to handle squeeze
until the juice is extracted; strain and
add enough loaf or crushed sugar to make
it palatable, being careful not to make
it too sweet. Add about twice as much
water as there is juice. This prepara-
tion may be made every morning, or
enough may be prepared one day to last
three or four days, but it must be kept in
a cool place.
The Great Value of Deep Breathing.
Cultivate the habit of breathing through
the nose and taking deep breaths. If this
habit was universal there is little doubt
that pulmonary affections would be de-
creased one-half. An English physician
calls attention to this fact: that deep
and forced respirations will keep the
entire body in a glow in the coldest weath-
er, no matter how thinly one may be clad.
He was himself half frozen to death one
night, and began taking deep breaths and
keeping the air in his lungs as long as
possible. The result was that he was
thoroughly comfortable in a few minutes.
The deep respirations, he says, stimulate
the blood currents by direct muscular ex-
ertion, and cause the entire system to
become pervaded with the rapidly-gener-
ated heat.
To Become Healthy.
Professor Shuetuck says: Eat fruit for
breakfast. Eat fruit for luncheon. Avoid
pastry. Shun muffins and crumpets and
buttered toast. Eat whole-meal bread.
Decline potatoes if they are served more
than once a day. Do not drink tea or
coffee. Walk four miles every day. Take
a bath every day. Wash the face every
night in warm water. Sleep eight hours a
night.
The Prognosis of Drug Habits.
The morphine habit becomes practically
incurable in five years. The user of alco-
holic spirits may continue eight or ten
years before he reaches the incurable
stage. This will depend on the free in-
tervals between the time of using spirits.
When he becomes incurable he may ab-
stain, but the injured brain and nervous
system never recover. The Quarterly
.Journal of Inebrity.
Wool or sik underwear should be worn
by all subject to sudlden temperature
changes, especially by the gouty and
rheumatic and sufferers from catarrh or
throat and lung affections.
The blood of a person getting a suffi-
ciency of pure air tingles to the tips of
the fingers and toes and the elimination of
waste matter in the food is much nearer
perfection.

HISTORY AND QUALITIES OF THE
Southern Prize Turnip
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP is an entirely new variety, and the credit of its
origination beloQgs to North Carolina.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE is a hybrid, and was originated several years ago by a
horticulturist of Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe and Seven
Top, a salad lurnip. The result is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, and
which for size, flesh, flavor, hardness and salad, is without an equal. In fact, it was found
so superior to all other varieties, and so well adapted to our Southern climate, that the
seed sold, when first introduced, at the extraordinary rate of FIFTY DOLLARS PER
POUND, and was called the Fifty Dollar Turnip.
Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is not affected by insects. Nor
does it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keeps sound, sweet and juicy.
It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and two
weeks earlier than any other variety. It stands extreme heat or cold. As to production,
they are very prolific, yielding large crops; and as to size, they have measured twenty nine
inches in circumference. As a farmer expressed it, " they are just large enough."
Jt^^AlJ seed deteriorate unless kept up to their original standard. The seed from year
to year have been kept up to their original pufity and excellence, and we offer the
Genuine Southern Prize Turnip Seed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 1900. They are
worth double any other variety. These seed are grown specially for us by an experienced
horticulturist, who succeeded the originator of the seed, and who grows them upon the
sanoe farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered.
PRICES OF SEED.— One pound, postpaid, 75 cents ; half pound, postpaid, 40
cents; quarter pound, postpaid, 20 cents; one dozen papers, postpaid (one quarter pound),
25 cents; per single ounce, postpaid, 10 cents.

TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1901 for the year 1902, by The Enniss Publishing
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
i»-NOTB.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N C ALMANAC, in honor of the late
Hbnky D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it in
the year 1838.
Explanations and Remarks.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are naade in mean solar
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this diflfer-
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."i ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent St?ites.
Rising and Setting of the Sun.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
incorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
iiave been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

Pacific Ocean.
IV.— A total Eslipse of the Moon, October 16 and 17; visible here as follows :
D. H. M. I D. H. M.
Moon enters shadow 16 11 3 p.m. 1 Total Eclipse ends 17 1 34 a.m.
Total Eclipse begins 17 0 5 a.m. I Moon leaves shadow 17 2 36 a.m.
Middle of Eclipse 17 0 49 a.m.]
V. A partial eclipse of the sun October 31, invisible here ; visible to the greater part of Europe and
nearly all of Asia
Tides.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the oorre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of tha
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for Soutdi)ort, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Obseryations.
L The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the
fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupied from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn nearly In the
same ratio. ^ ^ .
5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours
1. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as
\B noted in the table.
TURNER^S NOKTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
ASTRONOMICAL MISCELLANY.
Distance from earth to moon, 238,855
miles.
Velocity of light 186,337 miles per sec-
ond.
Our sun is but one of thousands of
others of equal or greater magnitude.
The earth is 95,000,000 miles distant
from the fcun.
The light of the moon is only about
one six hundred-thousandth that of the
fiun.
The Great Dipper revolves around the
North star in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4
seconds.
It is estimated that one hundred and
forty-six million meteors fall upon the
earth each year.
It would take about 1,300 globes as
large as our earth to make one equal in
size to Jupiter.
The planet Neptune has the longest
day, consisting of more than sixty thou-
sand of our days.
Astronomers say that there is every
reason to believe that human life on Mars
is much like it is on this earth.
The sun has about 228,000 times the
mass of the earth, and the moon only one-
eightieth of this mass.
Immense as the bulk of Jupiter is, it
makes a complete turn on its axis in a
trifle less than ten hours.
The year on Mars is almost twice as
long as it is on our planet, being exactly
687 days of terrestrial time.
Mars is ordinarily 141,000,000 miles
away from the earth, but every fifteen
years it approaches to within 35,000,000
miles.
The earth, travelling at the rate of
1,000 miles a minute, passes through
550,000,000 miles of space in the course
of a year.
The moon's surface in the telescope ap-
pears to be covered with volcanoes, some
16,000 of which have been photographed
and named.
It is determined that the solar system
is moving forward in space forty thou-
sand miles an hour, but whence it came
or whither it is going no one can tell.
To the average eye not more than five
thousand stars are visible; to some extra-
ordinarily keen eyes about eight thousand
are visible. Through the largest tele-
scope about fifty million stars are seen,
and there is every reason to belieye that
millions more exist
An error of a thousandth part of a
second in an astronomical calculatioa
would mean a difference of two hundred
million miles in the distance of a star.
Neptune is 2,746,000,000 miles from the
sun, and travels 11,958 miles an hour.
Yet it takes 60,127 of our days for that
planet to complete one revolution around
the sun.
Light passes from the sun to the earth
in about eight minutes, distance 95,000,-
000 miles. A locomotive traveling at the
rate of a mile a minute would require
upward of 180 years to accomplish the
same journey.
The sun gives 801,072 times as much
light as the full moon. Sir J. Hersche!
calculated that the star a Centauri gave
27,408 times less light than the moon.
The sun is, therefore, 22,000,000,000 times
brighter than the star. *
Although Jupiter is 1,300 times as large
BSi the earth, it is only 316 times as
heavy. In order to become as solid as
the earth it must condense to one-quar-
ter of its present size. Evidently such a
process of condensation is now going on.
The number of stars visible to average
eyesight on an ordinary night, does not
much exceed 4,000 for both hemispheres.
For exceptionally keen eyesight, and a
very clear sky, we may perhaps allow a
total of 10,000 for the whole star-sphere,
or 5,000 visible from any one place at one
time.
The greatest astronomers, in speculat-
ing upon what there is in space and the
distance of external galaxies, calculate
that the nearest external universe is s»
far distant that light from it, traveling
at the speed of 186,000 miles a second,
would take nearly ninety million years
to reach us.
It takes the planet Mercury eighty-
eight days to make its journey around
the sun, so that the year on Mercury only
lasts as long as three of our months on
earth. As our earth takes twelve months
in going around the sun. Mercury goes
around four times while our earth is
going around once.
The orbital motion of the earth around
the sun causes the former to perform a
revolution of nearly 600,000,000 miles in
a year, or somewhat less than 70,00t
miles an hour, which is more than l,00t
miles a minute. Here, then, our second
carries us the long distance of about nine-
teen miles. The mighty ball thus files
about a mile in the nineteenth part of a
second.

TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
METEOROLOGICAL
At the equator the average annual rain-
fall is 100 inches.
Clouds are, on the average, about five
hundred yards in thickness.
Taking it year in and year out, the
•oldest hour of each twenty-four is 5
cclock in the morning.
The winds from an area of high pres-
sure blow out from the centre, with a
motion the same as the movement of the
hands of a watch.
An "inch of rain" means a gallon of
water spread over a surface of nearly
two square feet, or a fall of about 100
ions upon an acre.
It is computed that every year the
earth receives about 146,000,000,000 shoot-
ing stars, which fall on its surface and
thus slowly increase its mass.
All clouds above the earth are caused
tey the cooling of ascending currents of
air, and the consequent condensation of i
the moisture which they contain.
Thunder is sometimes one great crash,
because the lightning cloud is near the
earth, and as all the vibrations of the air
(on which th6 sound depe^j^ds) reach the
ear at the same time.
The velocity- of wind is continually |
changing. It varies every second, and '
while the average velocity may be twenty- [
three miles an hour, in the course of one
minute it will be altered several times.
The mean annual temperature of the
globe is 50 degrees F. The average rain- ;
fall is thirty-six inches. The mean an- |
nual precipitatioh, rain and melted snow •
in Boston, is forty-six inches; in New i
York city forty-five inches.
The regions of the world which have '
the greatest rainfall seem to be the re- ■
gions where the largest number of thun- |
Her storms occur. Thus along the equa- |
tor fifty to one hundred, or over, thun- j
derstorms occur annually. I
While meteors may be see^ in the
heavens on almost any clear night, they '
are usually more numerous during the '
first ten or twelve days of August and \
from the 12th to 15th of November than '
at any other time of the year.
It is a mistake to suppose that light-
ning cools the air. At the time of a
thunderstorm a sharper contrast betwe'en
the temperatures of the upper and lower [
strata than usual exists; and the cold ;
which sometimes follows such storms Is ^
•lue to the onset of cooled atmospheric
masses already in the neighborhood.
Sir William Thompson is forced t«
conclude that the hitherto supposed con-
nection between terrestrial magnetic
storms and sun spots has no existence,
and that the seeming agreement between
the lyeriods is a mere coincidence and
nothing more.
Aeronauts can not rise much above
five miles of vertical height, on account
of the increasing rarity of the air, but
double that height has been attained by
self-registering balloons, which tell us
that g€)me ninety degrees of frost prevail
up there.
Meteorologists say that the heat of
the air is due to six sources: (1) That
from the interior of the earth; (2) that
from the stars; (3) that from the moon;
(4) that from the friction of the winds
and tides; (5) that from the meteors;
(6) that from the sun.
The average rate of travel of storms
across the country is about six hundred
miles a day; some have travelled from
the' Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic
coast in thirty-six hours, while others
have taken seven or eight days in cover-
ing the same distance.
The greatest height of any cloud yet
measured is 43,800 feet, and the highest
velocity is 112 miles an hour for a cloud
at 28,000 feet. The most important re-
sult thus far reached from these meas-
urements is the fact that clouds are
quite regularly distributed in three lay-
ers.
The scintillation of stars, according te
a new theory suggested by S. E. Chris-
tian, is largely due to the constant pas-
sage between the earth and the stars of
small meteoric bodies, which are now
believed to be drifting in space in the
immense numbers necessary to produce
this effect.
To the moisture in the air we are in-
debted for the maintenance of an even
degree of temperature. But for it night
would be colder than Greenland, even at
the tropics. It is the water in the air
that holds the sun's heat and keeps the
earth warm where direct sunlight fails
to fall upon bodies.
The blue color of the sky is probabl}
merely the color of the air seen through
a length of about 45 miles. It has been
observed by those who have ascended
about 5 miles above the earth's surface
that the sky appears of a dark inky blue,
owing to the very small reflection and dis-
persion of the light, while the blue color
no longer appears above but below them.

Every stroke of porrow that issues icto lieht
and joy in God putting into your hand the key of
that sorrow, to unlock It for all tbe poor souls
whom you may se^ approaching it through all
your future life. It is a noble thing to lake that
key and use it —Phillips Brooks.
In success be moderatei
There is no little enemy.
Tongue double, bring trouble.
Without justice courage is weak.
Men and melons are hard to know.
Usually under a cloud — the umbrella.
He is ill-clothed, that is bare of virtue.
Spring openings in po'Sketbooks are in
order.
Nothing more like a fool than a drunk-
est man.
Distrust and caution are the parents of
security.
After feasts made, the maker scratches
his head.
No man e'er was glorious, who was not
laborious.
No one has ever shown a Platonic love
for money.
"Ice and cold for sale," is a Locust-
street sign.
The toper's nose is never painted in
water colors.
Too many ancestors have spoiled many

There is neither honor nor gain got in
dealing with a rascal.
Eat to live, and not live to eat. To
lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
An Excited Editor's Opinion of a Hot
Day. — "Yesterday was hot. Fat women
felt fussy, and fanned furiously. Lean
women leaned languidly on lounges, or
lolled lazily like lilies on a lake. Shabby,'
slipshod sisters sat silently and sadly
sweating in the shade, while soiled and
sozzling shirt-collars, and sticky shirts
stuck to such sap-heads as stirred in the
sun. Babies bawled busily, and bit bob-
bins and bodkins till bed time. Literary
gentlemen who undertook a heavy task
of alliteration became exhausted in the
middle of a weather paragraph, and gave
it up for a cooler day. Yesterday was
kot."
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds Aspaiagus beds give heavy
dressirg with compost and salt. Radishes sow
sparsely from time to time. Horst- radish cut
tings put out. Onions may still be planted, also
Garlic and tthallots. Lettuce plants from fall
sowing transplant. Spinash may be sjwn for
eaily spring use. Oalons hoe and all other hardy
crops planted in autumn. Peas sow at intervals;
some may be frosted, but try again. Turnips for
early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may be
transplanted and, pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cab-
bage 8€ed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of ma-
nure.
FARM NOTBS.
A farmer ought not to be ashamed of
his occupation.
TTae richest of all animal manures is
that made by cattle fed on oil cake.
The successful farmer must raise more
grass and stock, and less cotton and to-
bacco.
Never undertake to rot barnyard ma-
nure by mixing it with lime; the lime
liberates the ammonia.
Do not mix wood ashes and plaster.
The fertilizing qualities of one are said
to te destroyed by the other.
Meadows and grass pastures will be
greatly benefitted at this season by a top
dressing of the finest and best manures.
Manure from stables should be cleaned
out every morning and well composted in
a pen near by with muck, top soil from
the wood or even common soil which is a
good absorbent.
How much land plaster should be put
to an acre of grass or clover, and at what
time?
A. From 200 to 400 pounds. It may be
done at any season, when the atmosphere
is damn.
Begin the year with a plan of opera-
tions. Take an account of crop, stock,
and provisions, to compare this time next
year. Settle all accounts as far as pos
siblc. Contract for labor for the year if
it has not been done. Open an account
of receipts and expenditures for the year.
Resolve to make more per acre than you
did last year.

Worry is the twin sister of nervousness.
Neither should ever enter into the daily life of
any one God. in His all- wise prosridence, put the
head of a human bemg on top that ail beneath it
might be subservient to it. There is somethicg
wio'jg above the eyes, in the region of the will
power, when ooe becomes nervous in the sense of
excitability. "Know thyself" is good; control
thyself Is oetter, vV^orry and excitement never
aided any one.
Full of courtesy, full of craft.
Hope of gain lessens p^ln.
Beauty and folly are old companions.
Don't think to hunt two hares with one
dog:.*
Happy's the wooing that's not long a
doing.
As charms are nonsense, nonsense is a
charm.
An egg to-day is better than a hen to-
morrow.
He does not possess wealth, it pos-
sesses him.
Would you persuade, speak of inter-
est, not of reason.
When it is fair, be sure to takv^ yo r
great coat with you.
Teach your child to hold his tongue;
he'll learn fast enough to speak.
There have been as great souls un-
known to fame as any of the mo.-;t fa
mcus.
Blobbs — What sharp features young
Workaday has.
Slobbs — Yes; he looks as though he
kept his nose continually down ti ' -le
grindstone.
Oldbach — They tell me keeping house
is a great problem. How is your new
girl getting along?
Youngi)op — It isn't a girl; it's a boy!
Come have something!
In a lawsuit the other day, between two
f members of the same church, counsel for
one of the parties suggested that the
l^rethren ought to refer their differences
for adjustment to the high court above;
to which the client responded that "the
same idea had occurred to him, but there
seemed to be an insuperable obstacle in
the way — he couldn't contrive any way
to get his lawyer there."
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating mate-
rials for horbeds ; for which select situation pro-
tected by a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress,
grafting execute, (fruit i rees and shrubbery traius-
plant Plant early potatoes. Spinach sow, also
Radishes, Carrots, Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cab-
bage plants from different rowings, transplant
Lettuce plants. Peas plant— the extra early is the
best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage, Tomato, Egg Plant,
Lettuce. Kaddlsh, etc. Don't be deterred in your
operations for fear of loss by change of tempera-
ture, but have at hand the means of protection
against hard weather, or you will be behind y»ur
enterprising neighbor.
FA KM ISOrES.
All things are cheap to the saving,
dear to the wasteful.
Don't plant a mortgage on your farm,
it never yields a profitable harvest.
Orchard grass is steadily gaining in
the estimation of our farmers, and de-
serves extensive cultivation.
Preparing for Crops, — Everything that
can be done should be, this month, to put
the farm in order for the planting of
crops.
Clover may be sown at any time "before
th? spring rains. The Thomas smoothing
harrow is an admirable implement for
covering the seed.
The Southern farmer of to-day must
study the principles of breeding and feed-
ing stock, as much as the best methods ef
raising grain, cotton and tobacco.
Stiff land, for corn especially, should
b3 plowed during the season if possible
that it may be mellowed and pulverized
bv the frosts. It will greatly assist in
making a good crop.
It greatly increases the yield of wheat,
oats, rye. in fact all small grain crops to
harrow them in the early spring. The
ground should be dry.
Composts for Cotton.— Composts of cot-
ton seed and acid phosphate should be
put up this month, both because there is
more leisure for such work, and the re-
action between the phosphate and seed is
more perfect when time is given.

We cannot but discover how In our very
griefs there were hidden angels reaching up to
hide, within the dark exptrience, some treasure
of patience or trust we could never have pos-
sessed, had the angels only descended on us, and
our life been one long joy.— Robert Collyer.
'Tis easy to see, hard to foresee.
A fine fellow — the baseball umpire.
The rotten apple spoils its companion.
Keep flax from fire; youth from gam-
ing.
Bargaining has neither friends nor re-
lations.
Do not do that which you would not
kave known.
No better relation than a prudent and
faithful friend.
None preaches better than the ant, and
she says nothing.
The noblest question in the world is,
What good may I do in it?
A salad is like a woman, A great deal
depends upon the dressing.
He that can compose himself, is wiser
than he that composes books.
Pugilism seems to have a black eye.
So have a good many pugilists.
Most men beat their wives — that is,
when it comes to game of cards.
If you know how to spend less than
you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
He is no clown that drives the plow,
but he that doth clownish things.
Camp-meeting Anecdote. — At a camp-
meeting, a number of ladies continued
standing on the benches, notwithstanding
frequent hints from the ministers to sit .
down. A reverend old gentleman, noted \
for his good humor, ^rose and said: "I
think if these ladies standing on the
benches knew they had holes in their
stockings, they would sit down." This '
address had the desired effect — there was
an immediate sinking into the seats. A !
young minister standing behind him, and !
Wushing to the temples, said:
"O. brother, how could you say that?" j
"Say that?" said the old gentleman:
"it's a fact — if they hadn't holes in their
stockings, I'd like to know how they
could get them on."
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants
trom winter beds, especially tbe large York.
Fresh beds of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale
and Rhubarb and Strawberry Set out; plant
Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets and early Corn; sow
Cabbage. Carrot, Celery. Cucumber, Beets, Egg
Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard, Melons in hot-
beds, Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper, at the
close of the month, radish. Salsify, Spinsush,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his '
that enjoys it.
No system of farming is complete that,
loses any of the fertility at the bar. Save
all, liquid and solid.
Butter farming is more profitable,
healthful and refined than truck farm-
ing, beef farming, poultry or pig-raising.
Swine. — Sows that have not been bred,
may be coupled this month. This will
bring the pigs in June, and give time to
push them for slaughter in December
next.
Artificial Fertilizers. — The use of some
active fertilizers early in the spring will
be beneficial on almost all crops. When
used with discretion, these are very prof-
itable.
Keep ahead of your work instead of
allowing your work to keep ahead of you.
Always be ready and up with the season.
A good start in the spring is a great point
in making a good crop.
Attend to Seed. — Like produces like.
Plant the best seed you can get for everj'
crop. If you know of a better variety,
get it and plant. At all events select the
best you have for planting.
Diversifying Crops. — There can be no
doubt about the propriety of diversifying
our crops. It is bad policy to depend so
exclusively upon cotton: bad policy now.
especially, when it is so low in price.
Plowing. — Ne>ver turn the soil when
so wet that it will bake into hard lumps.
The soil is too wet whenever the mould
board is smeared and does not keep clean
and bright while passing through the
furrow.

Deny self for self's sake.
Necessity never made a good bargain.
He that can not obey, can not com-

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in

It is better to take many injuries than
give one.
Three may keep a secret, if two of

Poverty wants some things, luxury
any things, avarice all things.
There are some things that even the
ost absent-minded of us can not forget.
No, Maude, dear, the horse that doesn't

Are you angry that others disappoint

Nell — JVhen they came back from their

Belle — He always was close!
"Darling," said she, "do you love me
J much as ever?"
•*Yes, dearie," said he, with his nose

That ought to have satisfied her, but

A Woman's Rights damsel met Senator

Garden Calendar for April.
If not» done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas,
Potatoes, Beets, Ck)rn, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips,
i Cucumber. Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish,Tomato,
i Okrb Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper,
I Lettuce, Egg Plant. Plants set out In February
and March will require culture. Sow Leeks for
winter use. Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and
Drumhead Savoy Cabbage seed for plants to be
set out In June Beans may now be planted, drill
Lettuce if intended to head; draw up tarth to
Potato vines. Turnips sowed last month should
be hoed and thinned. Transplant spring sowed
Cabbage and naanure well if you expect fine
heads. Citron and watermelon plant. Small
Onions set out in Autumn will now be fit for
use. Asparagus is now in season ; hoe beds to
exterminate weeds. Additional root crop may
now be sown. Transplant all kinds of perennial
herbs. Remember to keep down i he weeds.
FARm NOTKS.
Clover hay is worth more when cut
early than cut late.
Make all the hay you can and stop pay-
ing tribute to Northern farmers for poor
hay.
Planting Seed. — The dryer the soil the
deeper the seed must be planted. A
common rule is to cov.^r seeds with from
three to five times their diameter of soil.
Upland Rice. — Rice may be safely
planted in North Carolina from 1st of
April to middle of May. Two to three
pecks per acre. Culture same as cotton.
Cotton Seed. — Cotton seed should be
rolled in ashes or lime before planting,
and fewer seeds should be put in a hill.
A large number of plants give too much
trouble in thinning. Get the best variety
for planting.
Drains and Ditches. — ^With the spring
season come floods and freshets, over-
flowing the lands and washing off the
soil. Clean out all ditches, open all
drains that the water may pass off r=»ad-
ily or soak into the soil.
Everything in Season. — The seasons
wait not on the farmer. There is a time
to sow and a time to reap and the farmer
should realize the importance of being
fully up with the season in all his farm's
operations. The farmer who makes this
his constant rule will in general realize
' the largest profit on his labors.

If we are wise with the true wisdom of souls
our first need of patience sends us to Gtod to ask
for it. We seek a refuge from dli quietude in his
peace; our haunting weakness drives us back
upon his strength, till presently we find that our
incapacity, with God's help, is stronger far than
our completest energy without it, and that, with
the thorn still fretting the flesh, we can do all
things through him that strengtheneth us.—
Charles Beard.
A lie stands on one leg, truth on two.
Trust thyself, and another shall not be-
tray thee.
Wink at small faults; remember thou
hast great ones.
An Irishman was sued by^a doctor for
the amount of his bill for medicine and
attendance, and Paddy being called upon
to state why he refused to pay, replied:
"Why should I pay for such stuff? The
medicine was of no use to me; sure and
he sent me two emetics, and a sorry one
of them could I keep on my stomach."
Wigg — Longbow is a hard case.
Wagg — I should say he is. The only
time I ever saw him embarrassed was
once when he was caught telling the
truth.
A Wonderful Sight. — A jolly Jack tar,
having strayed into a menagerie to have
a look at the wild beasts, was much
struck at the sight of a lion and a tiger
in the same Jen. "Why, Jack," said h% to
a messmate, who was chewing a quid in
silent amazement, "I shouldn't wonder
if, next year, they were to carry about a
marine and a sailor, living peaceably to-
gether!" "Ay," said his married com-
panion, "or a man and his wife!"
Remarkable Memory. — "Who made
you?" inquired a lady teacher, of a lub-
berly boy who had lately joined her
class.
"I do' know!" said he.
"Not know? You ought to be ashamed
of yourself. A boy fourteen years olJ!
Why, there's little Dickey Pilton— he's
only three — he can tell, I dare say. Come
here, Dickey — who made you?"
"Ddd!" lisped the Infant prodigy.
"There!" said the teac|her, triumph-
antly; "I knew he would remember."
**Vell, he oughter!" said the stupid;
"taint but a little while ago since he was
made!"
Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower,
etc., hoe the jo. frtqaently and draw earth to the
stems ; thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots,
Parsnips and Salsiiy, and sow all kinds omitted
last month. Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce,
Tomato, Egg Plant from hotbeds to warm borders.
Platit Beans bush or bunch, for a succession;
Lima, Caro ina and other pole Beans, Cabbage
plants, sow seed if not done last month, also Oar-
rot, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Indian Corn crops
which have failed first sowing. Fepeat Melons,
Mustard, Pepper. Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkin and
Squash. Sow Cabbage for winter ; corn plant for
succession. Firish sowing all kinds of Aromatic,
Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FARM NOTES.
To keep the hoe busy between now
and haying is to more than half insure
the success of the crop.
When failures occur in corn or potato
rows, plant peas, beans, pumpkins, ruta
bagas or something to feed the stock or
family.
Poultry and fruit culture go hand in
hand. Both require a small area of land,
and both can occupy the same plot at the
same time, excepting in the cultivation
of small fruits.
Rye sown this month will make an ex-
cellent summer pasture for milch cows
and give a larger return of rich milk
and butter than the wild, and coarse
grasses and weeds of the woods.
What is the condition of the manure
heaps in the barnyard? If they are left
uncovered to waste by evaporation, and
unprotected from heavy winds, losses are
going on that even the best farming oth-
erwise could not afford.
Every needed means for the approach-
ing harvest should be made ready. Mow-
ers, rakes, scythes, barns, stack bottoms,
etc., should all be examined and put in
order. Whatever help may be required
should also be engaged beforehand.
Sows that are bred this month, will
have pigs in September, an excellent
time for those who can make small pork
for Christmas. Those animals that come
to market young are the most profitable,
and a sixty to eighty pounds three-
months pig is good to have for sale at the
holidays.

"Weather Forecasts for June. — 1 to 3, hot,
sultry, droughty ; 4 to 5, general fall of temi)era-
ture ; 6 to 7, cool and pleasant ; 8 to 9, warmer ; 10
to 12, hot, sultry ; 13 to 14, thunder storms; 15 to
16, cool ; 17 to 19, fine, seasonable ; 20 to 21, cloudj ;
22 to 23, damp, drizzly ; 24 to 25, general rains ;
26 to 28, heavy thunder storms; 29 to 80, clear,
seasonable.
However much we love and revere the ideal
In Christ or the personal Jesus, we cannot fully
know all the sacred tenderness ana reverent re-
joicing possible to us until we have revered the
' hun an in some life dear and huly to us, until we
have held sacred the ways walked by dutiful aud
tender leei In joyfal service of ihe hons, atd
daughters of men, until we have been penetrated
by another's gentler ess of soul.— Triniiies and
Sanctities.
A sharp talking lady was reproved by
her husband, who requested her to keep
her tongue in her mouth. "My dear," re- '
sponded the wife, " it is against the law
to carry concealed weapons."
Woman's Consolation. — ^A village pas-
tor was examining his parishioners in the
catechism, and asked a young girl, "What
is thine only consolation in life and '
death?" To which the simple maid re- ;
plied, "if I must tell you, it is the shoe-
maker that lives over the way."
An old lady, who was apt to be troubled
in her dreams, and rather superstitious
withal, informed the parson of the par-
ish that on a night previous she dreamed
she saw her grandmother, who had been
dead for ten years. The clergyman asked
what she had been eating? "Oh! only
half a mince pie!"
"Well," said he, "if you had devoured
the other half, you might probably have
seen your grandfather too."
There is a good story told of a minister
who, after service, greeted a stranger and
asked him what denomination he be-
longed to.
"I suppose," responded the other, "I'm
really what you might call a submerged |
Presbyterian."
"A submerged Presbyterian!" ex-
claimed the minister. "I should be glad i
if you'd explain."
"Well, I was brought up a Presbyter-
ian, my yrife is a Methodist, my eldest :
daughter is a Baptist, my son is the or-
ganist at a Unitarian church, my second
daughter sings in a Church of England
choir, and my youngest goes to a Congre- !
gational Sunday-chool."
"But," said the minister, aghast, "you
contribute, doubtless, to some church?"
**Yes; I contribute to all of them," was
the answer. "That's what submerges '
me."

Garden Calendar for >une.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed. Bum-
mer Raolsb, Beets ; thin cut the latter planted ;
sow Ton atoes for a successlnn ; sew Beets ana
Carrots; transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucum-
ber ; Melons and Squashes may be planted for a
succession, also Corn. As herbs ccme into flower
they should be cut and put. into a phady pluce to
dry. Therhicf labor of the garden had better be
directed to what Is already m growth.
FARM NOTES.
Corn. — Late workings of corn should
be shallow so as not to injure the roots.
It is a good time "now to sow corn for
fodder, and also some of the new forage
crops. •
Ruta bagas may be sown this month
two pounds per acre, sow in drills 27 U
30 inches apart.
Animals deprived of salt do not thrive
as well nor wear as sleek coats as those
that have a regular and full supply.
Great care should be taken in the cur-
ing of hay for feeding purposes. Don't
let it get too ripe before mowing.
Push cotton by frequent ploughings.
and give it so much hoeing as may b€
necessary to keep it perfectly clean.
It is claimed that corn is the most suit-
able food for setters. The requirements
of a setter differ from those of other
hens.
Curing hay in the cock is preferable to
sun drying. The sweating and fermenta-
tion improve, and prevent heating in the
mow or stack.
Cotton should have frequent plowings
and as much hoeing as may be necessary
to kefep it clean — frequent plowings make
rapid growth.
We can not too earnestly urge upon
farmers the necessity of stirring the soil,
especially in dry weather. It is the only
possible means of providing against
drouth.
The experience of the best farmers
proves that it is profitable to give a light
dressing of fertilizer to com just before
the last cultivation. Try an acre or two
and test the matter for yourself.

"Weatbcr Forecasts for July —1 to 2, cool ; 3
to 4, fine, pleasant ; 5 to 6, warm, storms ; 7 to 8,
destructive hall and wind storms; 9 to 10, change-
able; 11 to 12, very warm; 13 to 15, oppressive

settled.
lathe joy of the Resurrection we shall see
the countenance of the Frieud who has loved us,
sorrowed for us, died for us ; the countenance of
the i?OQ of God fixed upon each one of us; the
eyes of our Redeeaaer look-ing upon us personally
one by one; His voice speakiug to us as tie spoke
to Mary at the sepulchre, calling us each one by
name. This is the beginning of the joy.
Search others for their virtues, thyself
for thy vices.
Why ought one not joke about a queen?
Because she's no subject.
When do ministers resemble a rowing
€lub? When they rest on their ores.
When the rain falls, Joes it ever rise
again? Yes, in dew time.
Why is a gunsmith's shop like a
chicken pot-pie? Because they both con-
tain fowl-in-pieces.
Parents who wish to train up their
children in the way they should go, must
go in the way in which they would train
up their children.
"When is that great match between
Deacon Jenks and Elder Dobbs — the rival
sleepists — to come off?" "As soon as the
church and preacher can be agreed
upon."
A shrewd father once said to his two
151ooming daughters: "Be sure, my dears,
that you never marry a poor man, but
remember that the poorest man in the
world, is one who has money and nothing
else."
"Why, Susan, my child, what are you
about there?" "I'm going to dye my
(toll's hair red with this beer, pa." "What
a notion! How do you suppose you can
dye anything red with beer?" "Why,
mamma said it was beer that made your
nose so red, and I — ." But the father
didn't stop to hear the rest of the state-
ment.
A little girl of three years had been
told by heir Sunday-school teacher we
were all made out of dust. Arrived at
home, she looked up in her mother's face
with an anxious, inquiring glance, and
said: "Ma, has God got any more dust
left?" "Why, my daughter? What makes
you ask that question?" "Because if he
has, I want him to make me a little
brother!"
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks. Pepper
Plantsr Cauliflower and Brocoll. Sow Carrots
and Parsnips if needed; sow Endive for early
crop; a few turnips may be sown; transplant
Celery for early supply, and prepare trenches for
the main crop. Spinach may be sown towards
the last of the month. Irish Potatoes plant. Cu-
cumbers for Pickles ; plant Beans , sow Cabbage
seed for CoUards : sow Summer Radish in drills ;
2:>w Turnip-roDied Cobbage seed; cut Fennel,
Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for wmter use as they come
into flower.
FARM NOTES.
For laying hens milk is nourishing,
and induces laying.
Shallow plowing for corn and cotton,
cutting the roots now will damage the
crops.
Sloven ork does not pay. See them
that the work of the plow and hoe is
done thoroughly.
When fruit trees are to be planted plow
the land before hand, harrow it well, and
enrich with manure.
Tobacco now , needs careful working,
that the grass may be destroyed, and the
land left clean and porous.
In finishing up the cultivation of fields
leave the land as level as possible, as it
will facilitate the gathering of the crops.
»
Root crops of all kinds ought to be
often and well worked, that the nourish-
ment which should go to them is not ap-
propriated by weeds and grass.
After heavy rains the vines of potatoes
should be loosened from the ground, or
they will root and the energies of the
plant be expended in forming small pota-
toes in the middles.
When plantings or slips of the sweet
potato can not be had, cuttings from
growing vines about a foot in length may
be set out during the month and will
make goed potatoes if the season is favor-
able. •

The deepest want of man is not a desire for
liappiness, but a craving for peace ; not a wish for
the gratification of every desire, but a craving for
the repose of acquiescence in the will of God
and it is this which Christianity promises.
Warlstianity does not promise happiness, but it
4loe8 promise peace.^F. W. Robertson,
When is a lot of corn like a corner lot? '
Wlien it's ground. l
% When is a young lady very like a :
whale? When she's pouting.
Why is a young lady like a fiddle?
^ She don't look well without a bow —
beau.
Want. — "I am afraid that I shall come
to want," said an old lady to a young
©ne. "I have come to want already,"
was the reply. "I want a nice young
man."
It has been said that there are two
eventful periods in the Jife of a woman;
•ne when she wonders whom she will
kave, and the other when she wonders
who will have Jier.
In a late speech, Lucy Stone said: "We
know there is cotton in the ears of men.
Let us look for hope in the bosoms of ;
women." "May you not^nd cotton where ;
you look for hope, Lucy?"
"I think all girls are real good and
sweet!" said an enthusiastic urchin.
"Then where do the bad women come
from?" asked her bachelor uncle. "Oh," ;
she replied, "they're the sweet girls
turned sour!"
• A lady out with her little girl and boy, i
bought him a rubber balloon, which es-
caped him, and flew up in the air. The
girl, seeing the tears in his eyes, said:
"Never mind, Neddy; when you die and :
go to heaven, you'll dit it." i
Zoological Learning.— A person who i
kad got some little smattering of zoologi- i
€al lore, said one day to a novice that
crocodiles were often seen in tears. "Oh, j
that's nothing," rejoined the novice;^ ;
"I've often myself seen whales' blubber." |
"Do you observe what a fine head my j
boy has?" said an admiring father to a ;
circle of friends. "Come liere, my son.
You're a chip of the old block, aren't
you?" "Yes, pa; the teacher told me yes-
terday that I was a regular blockhead." i
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans ; prepare ground for Tur-
nips, 8pinaich, Shajlots, and sow Cabbage seed to
h^id in Nove^Dber. Large York and Early Dwarf
and Flat Dutch are excellent varieties at this sea-
i^OQ. Sow Collard seed, earth up Celery Broccoli
and Cauliflower sow, and transplant from an early
sowing. Onion sets to stand winter. Ca-rrots sow,
Squasnes sow. Rata Baga sow. Turnips for table
u*e at intervals. Potatoes plant for winter use
Lettuce drill lor heading, sow Lettuce for Autumn
use. Radishes sow fr jm time to time. Bsets may
be sown for winter supply, but as the seed vege-
t^ite with dlfliculty at this season, repeat antil
successful; cut sag*? and other herbs, gather seed
hUd prepare ground for late crops.
FARM NOrSS.
Clear up swamps and low-lands. Gruli
up brier roots and stumps and when dry
burn.
Th^ summer work of most crops being
over, attention should now be given to
other farm matters.
If bottom lands are dry enough ditches
should be cleaned out and new ones
opened where required.
Peas may be sown up to the middle of
the month for a forage crop, or to turn
under for w^heat, for which there is
nothing better.
Thin spots in grass fields sow with
grass seed and scratch them in with a
harrow and give a light dressing with
some fine manure.
. Hogs intended for slaughter the com-
ing winter should receive special atten-
tion from now on to killing time. They
can be more readily fattened during
warm than cold weather.
Clear up swamps and low-lands. Grub
up brier roots and stumps, and when dry
burn. Dynamite is good to clear stumps.
Ditches may now be opened in bottom
lands and new ones made when needed.
It is a good plan to sow turnips in the
corn field, to be fed after the corn is
gathered. You can turn your hogs upon
them or feed to your stock; milch cows
especially need them to increase the flow
of milk.

IVeather Forecasts for S«pt«nDiber.— 1 to 2,
lifgh winds and bluster; 3 to 4, local thunder
storcas 5 to 6, mild ; 7 to 9, fine, genial weather ;
10 to 12, rising temperature ; 13 to 15, hot and dry ;

The time is cDming, either In this world or
the next, wnen the cloud will be swept away, and
the lulnes:< of God's light and wisdom, poured
around you. If your life is dark, then walk by
faith ; and God is oledged to keep you as safe as
if you could understand everything.— Horace
BuBhneli,
It is said that a human being has seven^
million^ of pores, through which perspir-
ation and exhausted particles of the sys-
tem escape. We are all pore creatures.
"Bob, is that dog of yours a pointer?" ■
"No, he is half hunter and half setter; i
he hunts for bones when he is hungry, j
and sits by the stove when he is satis- !
fied." !
An Astonished Man.— When David slew
eoliath with a sling, the latter fell stone
^cad, and of course was quite astonished,
as such a thing had never entered his
hf-ad before.
One of the B'hoys.— "That's a prettv ,
bird, grandma," said a little boy. "Yes,"
replied the old dame, "and he never '
cries." "That's 'cause he ain't never '
washed," rejoined the youngster.
"My d€ar." said an affectionate spouse
to her husband, "am I not your only j
treasure?" "Oh, yes," was the cool re-
ply, and I would willingly lay it up in '■
heaven." What an "insinuating wretch!"
Little Boy— "Papa, are sailors very
small men?"
Papa— "No, my son; why do you think
they are?"
Little Boy— "Because I read the other ;
iay that a sailor went to sleep on his ;
watch."
Puzzle.—" Awidow.two children, a man i
and his wife and their two children, four
cousins, an uncle, an aunt, and two '
grandchildren slept in two beds. Querv? i
How many persons were there, and in
what relationship were thev to each ,
•ther?"
Laura— "I am afraid you love another,
Jack."
Jack— "How can you talk that way, '.
iearest? I've kissed you thirty times
IB the last two minutes." I
Laura---"But if you really loved me ■
yn wouldn't keep count."
Garden Calendar for September.
'The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest Draw up earth to the pea vines and i-tick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant B^flns;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Ea Ij York
and large York Cabbage may be sown ; towards
the end of this month tow Flat Dutch and Drum-
head and Early large cabbage seed to come un in
the spring, and to jecure a gt od supply sow liber
ally: transplant Caubfl' wer aid Broccoli ; sow
Turnipt. Potatoes planted last morth will require
culture. Onions may be sown for a general crop
It buitors lo plant are not on hand. Carrots sown
will be fit for use in December. Spinach may be
sown from time to time. Celery plants need til-
lage. Letiuce may be transplanted. Sow Rad-
iehes frequently.
FARM NOr£S.
Scatter turnip seed . wherever a crop
will grow. They will make a good fall
feed.
Autumn Crops. — Oats, clover, rye and
barley grazing \ lots and the grasses
should be seeded down this month.
The business of farming must be con-
ducted differently than it was twenty-
five or thirty years ago, or it will be a
failure.
Our farmers should sow more small
grain and the grasses. Grain takes less
labor, and more land can be cultivated,
and a plenty of grass is very essential
to successful stock-raising.
Fattening animals intended for market
should now receive careful attention. If
you have the feed a good profit can oe
made by buying stock and fattening for
early sale, besides the increase of valu-
able manure left upon the farm.
Seeding Wheat.— It pays to sow the
hen varieties, even if the cost is a little
more. Experiments prove beyond a
doubt, that a heavy roller drawn over
the field immediately after seeding, adds
largely to the yield of winter wheat.
Feeding Fodder.— The wasteful prac-
tice of throwing hay and fodder upon
the ground to be fought over and tram-
ped upon, is far too frequent. A cheap
fodder rack covered and protected from
the weather should be provided in everv
yard.

Not by mere moods not by how I feel to-
day, or how I felt yesterday, may I know whether
I am Indeed living the life of God, but ooly by,
knowing that God is usmg me to help otners.
No naood is so bright that it can do without that
warrant No mood is so dark that if it has that
It need despair. It is good for us to think no
grace or blessing truly ours till we are aware
that God has blessed some one else with it
through us.— Bishop Phillips Brooks.
Admiration is the daughter of ignor-
ance.
When is coffee like the earth? When
it is ground.
In the journey of this world the man
who goes right is not apt to get left.
A fellow who got drunk on election
day said it was owing to his efforts to
put down party spirit.
"You want nothing, do you?" said Pat,
"Bedad, an' if its nothing you want,
you'll find it in the jug where the whis-
key was."
A little fellow, who wore striped stock-
ings, was asked why he made barber
poles of his legs. His pert reply was,
"Well, ain't I a little shaver?"
Father (at tea-time) — "Look. Harry,
at this cake. You see the circumference
is equal to about three times the diame-
ter, and — "
"Yes, dad, I see. And you'll let me
have the ci'cumfrence for my share,
won't you?"
Sentimental young lady to Perfumer.
"I don't think you forwarded the scent
I meant; it seems entirely different from
what I ordered." Perfumer, who is fond
of « punning — "Madam, I am suret that
what you mean I sent; the scent I sent,
was the scent you meant, consequently
we are both of one sentiment."
"Young man. are you looking for salva-
tion?" asked Sankej^ of a man who was
staring around at the revival the other
day. "No," was the reply. "I'm looking
for Sal Sloper."
"I wish I was twins," said Tommy.
"Why?" asked his mother.
"If I was," said the youngster, "I
would send one-half of me to school, and
the other half would go and play foot-
ball."

Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last moith cultivate. Cabbage
t-ansplant, als > Cauliflower and BroccoU. Tur-
nips hoe. Onions sowa last, month will be ready
to transplant; small bulb onions set out. Spinach
for wmter use sow. Celery earth up in dry
weather and transplant from the bed for further
supplies, also Lettuce for Sprirguse. Radishes
sow as required ; Asparsgua beds dress ; Straw-
berries transplant. Take up potatoes and other
roots, secure them from wet and frost ; collect
Pumpkius and Winter Squashes, acd expose
them to the winds and air on a dry b%nch before
they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Fuel. — T"he winter's fuel should now
be laid in. Wood cut now, if split fine,
will dry thoroughly by Christmas.
Potatoes should be dug as soon as prac-
ticable, after the vines are dead, but
never except when the ground is dry.
Meadows, — I^'^ow is a good time to top-
dress these; barnyard manure is always
good; so are ashes; also, bone dust.
Water furrows from low spots should
be made at once to carry off the water
which will fall during the winter
months.
Lime may be applied with* benefit now,
and its effect is perceived sooner than
when put in at any other season. Don't
plow it under.
Holding for Higher Prices.— As a rule
it is best to sell products as soon as they
are ready for market. Stealage, shrink-
age and waste are then all avoided.
Tobacco.— There ought to be no delays
in getting all of the crop safely housed.
In good dry weather that in the house
should have all the sun and air possible.
Timothy seed should be sown imme-
diately after it not with the wheat or rye.
A peck of seed to the acre is enough,
and it is useful to follow the seed with
the roller.
Old and Poor Stock. — It does not pay
to winter old and poor stock, such as
sheep and cattle. Better sell now to the
best advantage you can and save feed
and trouble during the winter.

If there is no nobility of descent, all the
more indispensable is it that there snould be co-
lUiity of ascent — a character In ihem that bear
rule so fine and high and pure, that as men come
within ihe circle of its influence they involun-
tarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-
eminent distinction, the royalty of virtue.—
Selected.
It was a bald-headed clergyman who
took for his text, "The hairs of our head.«
are all numbered."
"If there's no moonlight, will' you meet
me by gaslight, dearest Juliana?" "No,
Augustus, I won't; I'm no ga^ meter."
Young man, do you believe in a future
state? "In course I duz; and what's
more, I intend to enter- it as soon as
Betsy gets her things ready."
She — Ethel and Harry are engaged, but
they have decided to keep their engage-
»ifnt a secret; Ethel told me so
Ke— Yes, I know; Harry told me
Little Boy — "Please, I want the doctor
t« comej and see mother." Servant —
"Doctor's out. Where do you come from?"
Little Boy — "What! Don't you know me?
Why, we deal with you. We had a baby
from here last week!"
A doctor attending a punster who was
very ill, gave as his reason for being late
©ae day that he had been obliged to stop
to attend a man who had fallen down a
v^ry deep well. "Did he — kick — the —
bucket — doctor?" gasped the punster.
Lovely . Daughter — Pa. Mr. Nicefello
proposed to me last night, and I referred
him to vou.
Pa — Well, I really don't know much
about the young man, and I'll have to —
Daughter — When he calls to see you
about it, you are to receive him kindly —
real fatherly, remember — and help him
along all you can, until he asks for ray
hand, and then you are to look alarmed
asd talk about what an angel I am, and
how many millionaires and dukes and
princes I've refused; And then you are
to reluctantly consent and give him your
Messing.
"Oh, I am, am I? But suppose I don't,
then what?"
''I shall marry him just the same."
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows-
against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact,
clo>e-growing bed, the roots and stems burled up
to the lower leaves of the caobages, the beds ma j
then be covered with straw, or a temporary shed
ejected over them. Beets dig and store. Canots
dig and store. Ce'ery earth up flDally. Onions in
stoje examine. Turnips and Salsify dig for con-
venient access. Now is a good time to transplant
fruit and ornamental trees and shrubbery. Spring
is generally a better time for transplanting ever-
F|ARM NOTES.
Drilling Wheat. — Seeding for wheat
with the drill most commonly effects a
saving of grain and a gain of one-tenth
on the crop.
Young stock need not be housed until
real cold weather sets in, but they should
have a warm shed to lie in at night, and
be kept in first-rate condition through
this month with turnips, fed tops and alL
Eggs from hens that are two years old
will hatch better and bring better off-
spring than those from the younger
stock. Young hens are preferable for
m arket.
Planting Orchards. — No portion of the
farm gives more profit, conduces more
to health, or contributes more to com-
fort-, than the orchard. Good fruit and
abundance of it should be the motto on
every farm — large or small. Now is the
time to set out the trees.
Milch cows should be made comfort-
aliJe by good, warm, dry stabling, free
from chilling drafts. Begin early to fee*
well if you wish to keep up their flow,
and do not omit the daily mess, as roots,
carrots, mangels or turnips. Insist upon
regular feeding, watering and milking.
Question. — What is the saving in feed-
ing cut hay, straw and other fodder? A.
The saving in cutting hay, straw, and
other fodder, is equal to about one-third
of the consumption both of hay and
meal. The food is eaten without waste,
and is more perfectly digested. It is the
food that is digested that counts as nutri-
ment.

If our plans are not for time, bui for eter-

Love well, whip well.
He's a fool that makes his doctor his
heir.
The favor of the great is no inher-
itance.
He that can have patience can have
what he will.
In a discreet man's mouth a public
thing is private. ^
A house without woman and firelight,
is like a body without soul or sprite.
No woman really enjoys wealth unless
she feels that she is inspiring envy.
Promises may gejt thee friends, but
non-performance will turn them into en-
emies.
Some women are such temperance
cranks that they wouldn't even wear
corkscrew curls.
Blobbs — I told her she was a bird.
Slobbs— What did she say?
Blobbs — Wanted me to fly with her.
Wigwag — What did you have at the
golf tea?
Guzzler — Scotch high balls.
My friend, I hope we will have your
help in our prohibition campaign? Way-
bock Native — No, siree. There ain't no
antidote fer rattlesnake bites except
whiskey, an' I ain't goin' to vote whiskey
»ut of reach in cases of emergency, I
tell you." "But, sir, there are no rattle-
snakes in your section." "No, but we're
goin' to import some right off."
A gentleman riding past a tippling
shop, sometimes called a groggery or
pukery, saw a man beastly drunk, lying
stretched at full length on the pavement [
before the door. He rode up, and inquired
for the owner of the shop, who imme-
diately made his appearance. "Are you i
the landlord?" inquired the gentleman.
"Yes," was the answer. "Tlien, sir," said !
he, pointing to the drunken man, *I '
tiiought I would call and inform you that j
y©ur sign had fallen down!"

Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now
be attended to. If the weather be open the ground
may be plowhed or trenched to receive the bene-
fits of the winter fros». Compost prepaie ; dung
prepare for hotbeds. Hotbef s atten 1 to. Radish
and alad sow in frames, also Lettuce. Trans-
^ planting trees may still be doce. Prune fruit
'trees, vines, etc Transplant all hardy plants.
Cabbage plants sown in October will be fit to put
out. ttow large York to head in January snd ¥ eb-
ruai-y. Small onions may still be planted Eartk
up Celery in dry weather. Thin Spinach as you
collect for daily use.
FARM KOrSS. •
The liquid manure is more valuable
than the solids, and a liberal use of ab-
sorbent material will aid in arresting its
loss.
Drains. — Do not overlook the water-
furrows in your grain fields, but see that
nothing interferes with the free passage
of water during rains and thaws.
Seed Com. — The best and largest ears
of corn should now be selected for next
year's planting. The selected ear should
not be husked, but hung in a dry place.
Cutting up Pork. — Pork should not be
cut up the same day it is killed, but
hang in a cool place until the following
morning, when, if the weather is suit-
able all the available heat will be en-
tirely gone.
Rainy Days. — On rainy days, when no
work can be done out doors, look after
tools, sharpen up and clean the plows,
hoes, etc., so that when the time comes
you can go to work with some satisfac-
tion. The difference between working
with a dull, rusty implement and a sharp,
clean one, is so great that we think com-
mon sense should teach every one that
the latter is far preferable.
Balancing Accounts. — It is now time to
balance accounts and see how the year's
work foots up. It is easy to see fronj
carefully kept accounts what has paid
the best, and to take them for a guide for
the future. The winter is the time to
make the head help the hands. Work
well planned is half done.

THERE ARE
20 LBS. OF BLOOD IN
YOUR BODY.
The average man in good health has about 20 lbs. of good blood in
his body. Every ounce of this blood is necessary to the maintenance of
good health. The person who can keep up the quantity and quality of
his blood adds years of healthfulness to his life.
Yager's Sarsaparilla
' MAKES RICH RED BLOOD,
With
Celery
It i*enews the vitalizing power of blood that has lost its strength. It
increases the number of corpuscles, it strengthens the nerves. There is no
medicine that weak men and women can take that will respond so quickly
as Yager's Sarsaparilla with Celery. Any disease which is the result of
impure blood or disordered nerves can be cured if the course of treat-
ment is carefully followed. Thousands of sufferers from Rheumatism,
Scrofula, Liver and Kidney Diseases, Ulcers, Female Weakness, Indiges-
tion, Nervousness, etc., have written in the strongest terms of the benefit
they have derived from its use.

TEETHINA
Atlanta, Ga., November 19, 1900.
We have bandied Dr.Moffett's TEETHINA (Teething Powders) ever since
its first introduction to the public and trade as a Proprietary Medicine,
and our trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until our
orders now amount to two or three hundred gross per year, which is a
very strong evidence of its merit and the satis^-action it is giving to the
mothers of the country, for they say that nothing so effectually counter-
acts the effects of the summer's hot sun or overcomes so quickly the
troubles incident to teething.

WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS.
Office of D. H. Hardy, Sec. of State,
Austin, Tex,, Nov. 21, 1900.
I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for
my teething children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every
succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened
upon TEETHINA, and began at once administering it to him, and his im-
provement was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuperated.
I have constantly kept it and used it since with my children, and have
taken great pleasure in sounding its praises to all mothers of young chil-
dren. I found it invaluable even after the teething period was passed.
MRS. D. H. HARDY.
INDIAN WEED
Indian Weed gives tone to and builds up the prostrated nervous and
muscular systems and makes regular and healthy all the natural functions
of the female organism.
'St. Louis, Mo., "Post- Dispatch," says: " Indian women are proverbially
healthy and strong, often marching for days with their babies upon their
backs. In fact, they frequently go the day before and after confinement,
with their tribes, upon the marsh. These women acquire this great
strength and power of endurance by using a weed that grows in their
locality, out of which a medicine is now being made, and kept by the drug-
gists under the name INDIAN WEED (Female Medicine)."

pounds. An ordinary sized man, suppos-
ing his surface to be fourteen square
feet, sustains the enormous pressure of
thirty thousand two hundred and forty
pounds.
The barometer falls one-tenth of an
inch for every seventy-eight feet of ele-
vation.
The violence of the expansion of water
when freezing is sufficient to cleave a
globe of copper of such thickness as to
require a force of 27,000 pounds, to pro-
duce the same effect.
During the conversion of ice into wa-
ter one hundred and forty degrees of
heat are absorbed.
Water, when converted into steam, in-
creases in bulk eighteen hundred times.
In one second of time — in one beat of
the pendulum of a clock — light travels
two hundred thousand miles. Were a
cannon ball shot toward the sun, and
were it to maintain full speed, it would
be twenty years in reaching it — and yet i
light travels through this space in seven
or eight minutes.
Strange as it may appear, a ball of a
ton weight and another of the same ma-
terial of an ounce weight, falling from
any height will reach the ground at the
same time.
The heat does not increase as we rise
above the earth nearer to the sun, but
decreases rapidly until, beyond the re-
gions of the atmosphere, in void, it is
estimated that the cold is about seventy
degrees below zero. The line of perpet-
ual frost at the equator is 15,000 foot
altitude; 13,000 feet between the tropics,
and 9,000 to 4,000 between the latitudes
of forty degrees and forty-nine degrees.
At a depth of forty-five feet under
ground, the temperature of the earth is
uniform throughout the year.
In summer time, the season of ripen-
ing moves northward at the rate of about
ten miles a day.
The human ear is so extremely sensi-
tive that it can hear a sound that lasts
only the twenty-four thousandth part of
a second. Deaf persons have sometimes
conversed together through rods of wood
held between their teeth, or held to their
throat or breast.

The importance and Economy of the Turnip
Crop.
There is no crop that the farmer puts
into the ground that pays better than the
turnip. Nor is there ony other stock
feed that can be produced in such great
abundance, at such little cost, with such
little exertion and in so short a time as
this root crop. We ask any farmer to
name any other crop, which in a few
weeks after sowing will give him a yield
of from ten to thirty tons per acre of
fresh succulent food for his stock with so
little expense. It was the remark of
England's grea^test political economist
that "Great Britian could better a^ord
to lose her navy than her turnip crop,"
and we might say that the farmer who
keeps stock could better , afford to lose
any other crop than this. All kinds of
stock relish turnips and thrive upon
them when in combination with hay or
chops, and in a higher degree than any
other root crop, hence their universal
popularity in all stock-raising communi-
ties. Furthermore, all experience proves
that hogs, sheep, cattle, and even horses,
are healthier and more vigorous when
plentitfuily fed on a mixed feed of succu-
lent and farinaceous food than on farina-
ceous food alone. As a supplement crop,
it is put in at a time when the hurrying
season is over, and as long as it lasts it
lengthens out the corn, oats and hay, a
most important matter with those who
do not raise a full supply of these crops.
Preparations for the crop to be sown
in August^ should be made early, and for
a variety of superior excellence and sp^
cially adapted to the Southern climate by
virtue of its origin, the "Southern Prize
Turnip" is from the testimony we have
beyon.d all question the best kind to
plant for a certain and large crop, and
of superior quality.
After thorough ti*ial for maiw years,
the following points of excellence are
claimed for it, viz.: It has no. equal -for
root or salad; it stands extreme heat and
cold; it is superior "to the Northern tur-
nip; they Jo not pith or become spongy
as other turnips; it produces salad two
weeks earlier than any other turnip;
insects do not injure this as^they do
other varieties; it produces m6re salad
than any other turnip; it produces a
larger root than any other turnip; it is
the best turnip for winter use in the
market; for general farm market pur-
poses it has no equal in the South.
Southern Prize Turnip
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP is an entirely new variety, and the credit of its
origination belongs to North Carolina.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE is a hybrid, and originated many years ago by a horti-
culturist of Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe and Seven Top,
or salad turnip. Tae resulc is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, and which
for sizs, fle^h, flavor, hardness and salad, is without an equal. In fact, it was found so
superior to all other varieties, and so well adapted ti oar Southern climate, that the seed
sold, when first introduced at the extraordinary rate of FIFTY DOLLARS PER POUND,
and was called the Fifty D.)llar Tarnip.
Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is not affected by insects. Nor
does it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keepa sound, sweet and juicy.
It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and two
week:« earlier than any other variety. It stands extreme heat or c )ld. As to production,
they are very prolific, yielding large crops; and as to size, they have measured twenty-nine
inches in crcumference. As a farmer expressed it, " they are just; large enough "
E^^All seed deteriorate ualess kept up to their original standard. The seed from year

ine Sou':hern Prizs Turnip S3ed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 190L Tney are worth

culturist, who succeeded the originator of tae seed, and who grows them iipon the same
farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered,

Formula for Telling a Girl's Age.
Girls of a marriageable age do not like
to tell how old they are; but you can find
out by following the subjoined instruc-
tions, the young lady doing the figuring:
Tell her to put down the number of the
month in which she was born, then to
multiply it by 2, then to add 5, then to
multiply it by 50, then to add her age,
then to subtract 365, then to add 115,
then tell her to tell you the amount she
has left. The two figures to the right
will tell you her age, and the remainder
the month of her birth. For example, the
amount is 822; she is 22 years old and
was born in the eighth month (August).
Try it.

Some Wonders of the Human Body.
There are upward of two million open-
ings in the skin, which are the outlets of
an equal number of sweat glands. The
blood which passes through the heart
every minute is equal to the whole quan-
tity in the body. The full capacity of
the lungs is about three hundred and
twenty cubic inches. The capacity of the
stomach is about five pints. There are
more than five hundred separate muscles
in the body. The heart weighs from
eight to twelve ounces. It beats about
one hundred thousand times in twenty-
four hours. Each perspiratory duct is
one-quarter of an inch long, and the
length of the whole about nine miles.
The average man takes about one ton
of solid and liquid nourishment annu-
ally. About three hundred and seventy-
five hogsheads of air are inhaled and ex-
haled by a man every hour of his tife.
The great toe is placed on the inside
of the foot to act as a fulcrum in propel-
ling the body.
The patella or knee pan projects in
front of the knee to afford a better ful-
crum for some of the muscles of motion.
The fingers are of unequal lengths be-
cause by reason of this fact they are en-
abled to grasp objects of almost any size.
The bones never touch each other, but
are separated by their membrances, be-
cause if they did touch there would be
less elasticity of motion.
The Halr8 of our Head.
Our blonde belle has about one hun-
dred and forty thousand filaments to
comb and brush, while the red-haired
damsel has to be satisfied with eighty-
eight thousand; the brown-haired dam-
sel may have one hundred and nine thou-
sand, and the black-haired but one hun-
dred and two thousand. Few ladies con-
sider that they carry some forty or fifty
miles of hair on their heads; the fair-
haired may have to dress seventy miles
of threads of gold every morning.
How Long You May Expect to Live.
A person 1 year old may expect to live
39 years longer; of 10 years, 51; of 20,
41; of 30, 34; of 40, 28; of 50, 21; of 60,
14; of 70, 9; of 80 years of age, 4 years

l4ow to Become a Successful Business Man.
The way to get credit is to be punctual
in paying your bills. The way to pre-
serve it is not to use it much. Settle of-
ten; have short accounts.
Trust no man's appearances — they are
deceptive — perhaps assumed, for the pur-
pose of obtaining credit. Beware of
gaudy exterior. Rogues usually dress
well. The rich are plain men. Trust
kim, if any, who carries but little on his
back. Never trust him who flies into a
passion on being dunned; maJke him pay
quickly, if there be any virtue in the
law.
Be well satisfied before you give a
credit that those to whom you give it,
are safe men to be trusted.
Sell your goods at a small advance, and
never misrepresent them, for, those whoM
you once deceive will be aware of you
the second time.
Deal uprightly with all men, and they
will repose confidence in you, and soon
become your permanent customers.
Beware of him who is an office-seeker.
Men do not usually want an office when
they have anything to do. A man's af-
fairs are rather low when he seeks office
for support.
Trust no stranger. Your goods are bet-
ter than, doubtful charges. What is char-
acter worth, if you make it cheap by
crediting everybody.
Agrte beforehand with every man
about to do a job, and, if large, put it
into writing. If any decline this, quit, or
be cheated. Though you want a job ever
so much, make all sure at the onset, and
in a case at all doubtful, make sure of a
guarantee. Be not afraid to ask it; the
best test of responsibility; for, if offence
be taken, you have escaped a loss.

Origin of the Names of tlie Days.
The week was unknown to the ancients
of classic ages, till it was gradually
adopted, along with Christianity, under
the later emperors. The arrangement of
the heavenly bodies, according to their
distances from the earth, is in the fol-
lowing order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the
Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon; and it
was a principle of the ancient astrology
that these planets presided in succession
over the hours of the day, and from
which the Latin designations given to
days of the week have been derived; and
from these have been formed the modern
names used in different countries, either
by literal translation, or, in the Teutonic
tongues, by the substitution, in some
cases, of the corresponding deity of
northern paganism for the classical god.
Sunday. — Is so called, because it was
anciently, dedicated to the worship of the
aun.
Monday. — Means literally the Day of
the Moon.
Tuesday. — Was dedicated to Tuisco, the
Mars of our Saxon ancestors, the deity
that presided over combats, strife and
litigation. Hence, in England Tuesday is
assize day; the day for combat, or com-
mencing litigation.
Wednesday. — Is so called from Wodin,
or Odin, a deity or chief among the
northern nations of Europe.
Thursday. — Was named by the Saxons
from Thor, the old Teutonic god of thun-
der.
Friday. — Is from Frea or Friga, a god-
dess of the old Saxon mythology.
Saturday. — Means simply Saturn'a
day, the name being derived from tb«
deity of that name.
The Longest Wave Recorded.
The longest wave recorded, measured
half a mile from crest to crest with a
period of 23 seconds. Waves having a
length of 500-600 feet and periods of 10-11
seconds are ordinary storm waves. Wavea
having a greater height than 30 feet are
not commonly encountered, though in ex-
ceptional cases waves of 41 to 48 have
been reported.
Difference Between a Nautical and Land Mile.
In considering the speed of a steam-
ship, it must be remembered that a knot,
or nautical mile, is a very different
thing from a land mile. A mile is 5,28l
feet, while a knot is 6,080 feet and a
fraction. Therefore when a vessel makes
23-05 knots an hour, she passes over very
nearly 27 land miles.

Results of Saving Small Sums of Money.
The following shows how easy it is to

years by saving a certain amount each
day and putting it at interest at the rate
•f six per cent:

Nearly every person wastes enough in
twenty or thirty years, which, if saved
and carefully invested, would make a
family quite independent; but the princi-
ple of small savings has been lost sight
of in the general desire to become
wealthy.
The Watch as a Compass.
The points of the compass may be de-
termined with the aid of an ordinary
watch. It is simply necessary to bring
the watch in a position so that the hour
hand is directed toward the sun. The
south then lies exactly midway between
whatever hour it may happen to be and
the numeral XII on the dial. Let us sup-
pose, for instance, that it is four o'clock,
and that the timepiece is held in the po-
sition indicated. The direction of the
numeral II will then be the exact south.
If it be eight o'clock, the numeral X will
indicate the exact southerly point.
Rising and Falling of the Tides.
The surface of the ocean rises and
falls twice in a lunar day of about 24
hours and 52 minutes. Tlie tides do not
always rise to the same height, but every
fortnight, after the new and full moon,
they become much higher than they were
in the alternate weeks. These high tides
are called spring tides, and the low ones,
neap tides. The close relation which the
times of high-water bear to the times- of
the moon's Ineridian passage shows that
the moon's influence in raising J:he tides
is much greater than that of the sun.

Standard Time.
The day the change of time in the Uni-
ted States went into effect was November
18, 1883. There were previous to that
time 58 kinds of time used by railroads
in the United States, now there are only
fojur kinds of time in use by railroads in j
the United States. They are Eastern !
time. Central time, Mountain time, and i
Western time.
EASTERX TIME
Is the local time of the 75th Meridian j
from Greenwich. The Meridian (like all i
Meridians of Longitude, running from I
one pole to the other) passes a few miles |
east of Philadelphia, so that Eastern i
time differs only 38 seconds from Phila- !
delphia local time. Eastern time covers
a strip 15 degrees wide, extending 7%
degrees on each side of the 75th Merid-
ian, reaching from the eastern part of
Maine to the vicinity of Detroit, Mich.
T"he time in Boston, Albany, Syracuse,
Rochester, Buffalo, New York. Philadel-
phia, Washington and all places in this '!
area is the same.
CE^'TRAL TIME
Is the local time of the 90th Meridian.
This time prevails over similar area of
15 degrees of lohgitude, and is just onq
hour slower than Eastern time. It com-
mences in the vicinity of Detroit, Mich.,
and extends to the vicinity of Yankton
and Austin. The time at Cleveland, Cin-
cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, and all places in the area is the
same.
MOUNTAIN TIME
Covers the area of 15 degrees of longi-
tude next to the west. It is local time
of the 105th Meridian, which passes
through or near the city of Denver. This
time is one hour slower than Central
time, and extends from Yankton and Aus-
tin on the east, to the vicinity of Salt
Lake City on the west. The time in all i
places in this area is the same. I
WESTERN TIME
Is the local time of the 120th. Meridian,
and covers all west of 112 1^ degrees of
longitude, which commences in the vi-
cinity of Salt Lake City on the east, and
extends west into the Pacific Ocean. This
time is one hour slower tnan Mountain
time. The time at Huntington, Walla
Walla, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Port-
land, Ore., and all places in this area is
the same.
The Ancient Hour.
The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, a cus-
tom adopted by the Jews or Greeks prob-
ably from the Babylonians. The Jay is
said to have first been divided into hours
from B, C. 293, when a sun dial was
erected in the temple of Quirinus, at
Rome. Previous to the invention of wa-
ter clocks, B. C. 158, the time was called
at Rome by public criers. In early En-
gland one expedient for measuring time
was by wax candles, three-inches burn-
ing an hour. The first perfect mechani-
cal clock was not made unul about A. D.
1250. Day began at sunrise among most
of the Northern nations, at sunset among
the Athenians and Jews, and at mid-
night among the Romans, as with us.
The Ancient and Modern Year.
The Athenians began the year in
June, the Macedonians in September, the
Romans first in March, and afterward in
January, the Persians on August 11, the
ancient Mexicans on February 23, the
Mohammedans in July. Tlie Chinese
year, which begins early in February, is
similar to the Mohammedans in having
12 months of 29 and 30 days alternately;
but in every nineteen years there are
seven years which have 13 months. This
is not quite correct, and the Chinese
have therefore formed a cycle of bO
years, in which period 22 intercalary
months occur.

HOME REMEDIES.
Bruises and Sprains. — If you have a
bad bruise or sprain thoroughly soak it
in water as hot as you can bear it.
Nail Runs. — As a cure for a nail run
into the foot, take fresh beef, thoroughly
pounded, and apply to the part fre-
quently.
Good for dysentery — eggs. Take an
egg, beat it up lightly, swallow it at a
gulp; repeat the dose every three hours
during the day and you will be cured.
Stomach Cramp. — For stomach cramps,
a half teaspoonful of the tincture of gin-
ger in half a glass of water in which
half a teaspoonful of soda has been dis-
solved.
Bad Cold. — To break up a bad cold,
bathe the feet, or the whole body, in
very hot water and drink a cup of hot
ginger tea or hot lemonade, and go im-
mediately to bed.
Nasal Catarrh. — Make a weak brine
and snuff up the nostrils, and let it run
down in the throat; also, wet the head
with the same. If persisted in a suffi-
cient length of time, it will effectually
cure nasal catarrh.
Liniment for Rheumatism. — One of the
very best liniments for rheumatism is
made as follows: One pint spirits tur-
pentine, two ounces of camphor, two
ounces of spirits of ammonia, and o»e
ounce of oil of sassafras.
Corns. — The best remedy for soft corns
is castor oil. Saturate a little cotton
^very night with the oil and apply to the
.corn. After a week or two of this treat-
ment, soak the foot in warm water and
remove the corn. In time it will come
again, of course, but castor oil is cheap,
and it is really softening and soothing.
According to the Medical Record castor
oil has not failed in any case to remove
warts to which it was applied once a day
for from two to six weeks.
Hoarseness. — A simple remedy fory^
hoarseness, or loss of voice from sudden
cold, is thus furnished: Beat up the
white of an egg, add the juice of a lemon
and sweeten it with as much white su-
gar as it will hold in solution. Take a
spoonful at a time.
Liniment for Wounds. — One of the best
liniments for wounds is made by melting
pine tar, adding one quart of linseed oil,
and a half pint spirits turpentine; it is
just the thing for any wounds on man or
beast, and it is one of t^e best remedies
to apply to brittle feet.
The simplest remedy for chapped
hands is found in every one's kitchen
closet; and is common starch. Whenever
you take your hands out of dishwater or
suds, wipe them dry with a soft towel,
. and while yet damp, shake the starch*
bag all over them and rub it in.
A remedy for coughs recommended oy
many of the best doctors is made by
steeping flax-seed and straining It
through a tin strainer before it gets too
thick. Add an equal quantity of lemon
juice and enough loaf sugar to make a
syrup. This should be taken freely.
Cure for Hiccough. — Sit erect and in-
flate the lungs fully. Then, retaining
the breath, bend forward slowly until
the chest meets the knees. After slowly
rising again to the erect position, slowly
exhale the breath. Repeat this process a
second time, and the nerves will be
found to have received an access of en-
ergy that will enable them to perform
their natural functions.

m I have used the bottle of Xanthine purchased ft»m you a few months ago, and find that it OOes
what is claimed for it, which is more than can be truthfully said of any of the preparations I
have used heretofore. I have never had anything to really prove satisfactory before. 1 am surprised
that washing my hair with soap and water does not change the color, but rather softens and im-
proves It. I have foimd it a most excellent preparation, and it gives me pleasure to express my
high appreciation of its value. My wife has used it also with equal satisfaction. We have found it ALL
that is claimed for it. SAMtJKii B. Hyman, Pastor Presbyterian Church.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
To Whiten and Soften the Hands. — Use
mixture of two parts of glycerine, one
part ammonia and a little rose water.
To Remove Freckles. — A harmless lo-
tion for removing freckles is as follows:
Lemon juice, one ounce; powdered borax,
one-half dram; sugar, one-half dram.
To Wash Mirrors or Windows. — ^For
washing finger marks from looking-
glasses or windows, put a few drops of
ammonia on a moist rag and make quick
work of it.
Colored Stockings. — A tablespoonful of
black pepper will prevent the color from
"running" in black or dark-colored hos-
iery, calicoes or cambrics and also from
staining the skin.
To Make Flour Paste. — Alum, size of a
walnut, dissolved in hot water; add cold
water and flour enough to make it of the
consistence of cream. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly.
To Make Boots Easy. — To make boots
easy, drop sweet oil on the stocking De-
fore »putting on the boot. It makes the
leather flexible, and is better than put-
ting it on the outside.
To Clean Black Silk. — To clean a black
silk dress, use a sponge dipped in strong
black tea, cold. If the color has been
taken out of silks by fruit stains, am-
monia will usually restore the color.
To Remove Iron Rust and Ink Stains.
— Rub lemon juice on the stain, then
cover it with salt and lay the articles in
the sun. If necessary, repeat the pro-
cess two or three times. Spots from most
kinds of ink are similarly taken out.
Vinegar will sometimes do it.
To Clean Silver. — Never put a particle
of soap on silverware if you would have
it retain its lustre. Soap-suds make it
look like pewter. Wet a flannel cloth in
kerosene, dip it in dry whiting, and rub
the plated ware. Let it d^y on it, and
then polish with old newspaper.
Hot Water Application.— If the rubber
hot-water bag is found to leak or these
conveniences can not be procured, heat
comihon sand in a pan in the oven and
pour it quickly in a broad, short bag
made of thin flannel, with a stout cot-
ton cover over that. You can reheat it in
this bag. It is well to have several shapes
and sizes to apply for ear-ache, abdo-
minal pains or cold feet. This is when
steady heat applications are needed. For
a fomentation, dip a folded flannel cloth
in boiling water, and wring it out by
twisting it in a linen towel. As you
take it out, sprinkle a few drops of tur-
pentine over the steaming surface; this
makes a turpentine "stupe."
Weights and Measures.
Ten eggs are one pound.
A wineglass full is one-half gill.
Eight tablespoonfuls are one gill.
Four saltspoonfuls make one teaspoen-
ful.
One quart of flour is one pound.
One pint of granulated sugar is one
pound.
Two cups of butter, packed, is one
pound.
Five cupsful of sifted flour is one
pound.
Two teaspoonfuls of baking powder to
one quart of flour.
One quart of sweet or sour milk to a
quart of flour.
To brighten carpets, wipe them with
warm water in which has been poured a
few drops of ammonia.
To whiten clothes, add a teaspoonful
of turpentine or a lump of borax to the
water in which they are boiled.
To wash cotton fabrics, in order to pre-
vent colors from running or fading,
throw a handful of salt into the suds and
into the rinse water.
Kerosene applied with a rag to stoves
will keep them from rusting during the
summer. It is also an excellent material
to apply to all iron utensils about a
farm.
If the stove is crNaeked, take wood ashes
and salt, equal proportions, reduced to a
paste with cold water, and fill in the
cracks when the stove is cool. It will
soon harden.
Blue ointment and kerosene mixed in
equal proportions, and applied to bed-
steads is an unfailing remedy for bed
bugs, a coat of whitewash is ditto for
the walls of a log house.
To prevent hair from turning gray,
take the hulls of butternuts, about four
ounces, and infuse in a quart of water
for an hour. Then add half an ounce of
copperas. Apply with a soft brush every
second or third day. This preparation is
harmless.
In damp weather the most carefully
cared for furniture may need polishing.
For this purpose use half a pint of boiled
linseed oil, pure cider vinegar and tur-
pentine. Apply the polish with a flannel
cloth, and rub it briskly till perfectly
dry.

Wonders of the Heavers.
There are 18 stars of the first magni-
tude. These are at least 211,000 times
farther from the earth than is the sun,
and their light takes over 3 years to
reach us. There are 55 of the second
magnitude, their light taking over 6
years to reach us: 170 of the third mag-
nitude, their light reaching us in over 9
years; 500 of the fourth magnitude,
their light taking 12 years to reach us.
Stars as distant as those of the sixth
magnitude, their light taking 36 years to
traverse the intervening space, are visi-
ble to the naked eye. Of these there are
about 6,000. A 9-foot telescope reveals
stars of the twelfth magnitude, about
10,000,000 in number. An 18-foot tele-
scope reveals about 43,000,000 stars, in-
cluding those of the 13th magnitude,
whose light takes 2,700 years to reach us.
Each of these stars is thought to be the
centre of the solar system like our own.
Our own solar system consists of the sun,
and the following planets revolving
around it; Mercury, nearest the sun, is
35,000,000 miles distant; Venus, 66,000,-
000 miles; the earth, 91.000,000 miles;!
Mars, 139,000,000 miles; the Asteroids,
about 266,000,000 miles; Jupiter, nearly
476,000,000 miles; Saturn, 872,000,000
miles; Uranus, 1,754,000,000 miles, and
Neptune, 2,746,000,000 miles from the
sun.

TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
The Sun and the Weather.
/Among most nations the sun's redness
on rising or setting has "been regarded as
ominous, and furnished materials for
various proverbs. One old English adage
informs us that —
"If the red sun begins his race,
Be sure that man will fall apace."
A notion referred to by Christ in St.
Matthew's Gospel (xvi. 2, 3) : "When it
is evening, ye say, It will be fair weath-
er for the red sky is red, and on the
morning, it will be foul weather to-day,
for the sky is red and lowering." It may
beb remembered, t/jo, how graphically
Shakespeare speaks of this popular rule i
in his "Venus and Adonis" — |
"Like a red morn, that ever yet betok- i
ened
Wreck to the seamen, tempest to the I
field, :
Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the i
birds, I
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to I
herds."
And the familiar rhyme tells us how —
"Sky red in the morning
Is a sailor's warning."
In Milan we are told, referring to con-
tinental observations, that "if the morn
be red rain is at hand;" and again, "if
the sky be red when the morning star is
shining, there will be rkin during the |
week." As is well known, however, a red i
sunset is as propitious as the former is ;
unlucky, "a red sky at night being a ;
shepherd's delight," and, according to a \
saying formerly very current in En- i
gland,
"The evening red^ morning gray,
Is a sign of a fair day."
Indeed, there are numerous proverbs i
on this subject, all to tne same purpose, I
a Scotch one being as follows: ;
"The evening red and the morning gray I
Is the sign of a bright and cheery day; |
The evening gray and the morning red, |
Put on vour hat, or you'll wet your \
head."
There is a prevalent notion that if a ;
change of weather occurs about the time i
when the sun is crossing the meridian, it i
will be for twelve hours at least The
proverbs relating to the sunset are even,
perhaps, more numerous than those as- |
sociated with sunrise, every aspect being '
supposed to denote the coming weather.
Thus Shakespeare, in Richard II. (ii. 4), ,
referring to a popular belief, tells how
"The sun sets weeping in the lowly west,
Witnessing storms to come, woe and unrest."
And when, too, it sets like a ball of fire,'
it is said to have "water ^in its eye."
Again, a pale sunset is a ba^ sign, if we
may believe the rhyme:
"If the sun goes pale to bed,
'Twill rain to-morrow, it is said." -
A hq.zy sunset, too, is equally unsatis-
factory, for we are told that "when the
air is hazy, so that the solar light fades
gradually, and looks white, rain will
most certainly follow." When, however,
at the time of sunset there is a clear
sky, it is said to indicate calm weather:
"When the sun sets bright and clear.
An easterly wind you need not fear."
But if, on the other hand, the sky is cov-
ered with fleecy clouds, it is an indica-
tion of wind:
"When the sun sets in a bank,
A westerly wind we shall not lack."
A golden sunset is generally regarded
as one of the most favorable tokens of
fine weather, in allusion to which Shake-
speare in his Richard lil, says:
"The weary sun hath made a golden set.
And, by the bright track of his fiery car,
Gives signal of a goodly day to-morrow."
But when the sun at setting casts a lurid
red light on the sky as far as the zenith,
it is- said to be an infallible sign of
storms and gales of wind. Once more,
the streaks of light occasionally seen
when the sun shines through broken
clouds are, according to an old supersti-
tious fancy, believed to be pipes reach-
ing into the sea, the water, it is sup-
posed, being drawn up through them into
the clouds, ready at any moment to be
discharged upon the earth in the shape
of rain. This superstition, however, is
turious, containing, as it does, some ves-
tiges of truth. Although, as has been
pointed out, the streaks of sunshine are
not actual pipes, yet they are at any
rate, visible signs of the sun's actions,
which, by evaporating the waters, pro-
vides a store of vapor to be converted
into rain. A species of rainbow, with-
out either pillar or arch, having only a
base, is known by sailors as the "sun-
dog," and is considered indicative of
windy, squally weather. Insome parts
of England the light, fleecy clouds that
encircle the sun in windy weather are
called "foxy sun-clouds," being supposed
to presage changeabble and treacherous
weather, a notion embodied in the fol-
lowing couplet:
"Mackerel sky, mackerel sky.
Never long wet, and never long dry."

'' <>
This A Imanao is adapted to the State of North Carolina only. A 11 1 he astronomical phenoi
data have been arrarged expressly for this State. Other almanacs which have the same cal
for a dozen different States can not be reliable as to exact time in an^ one State.
TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1902 for the year 1903, by The Enniss Publishing
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
4»-NoTE.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C. ALMANAC, in honor of the lat*
Hbney D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it In
the year 1^ In 1867, Mr. James H. Enniss, succeeded Mr. Turner in the publication of the Almanac,
and under his administration was issued regularly untd his death in May, 1900. Since that time the
Almanac has been Issued by the family of the late James H. Enniss under the name of the Enniss
Publishing Company.
Explanations and Remarks.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solaz
time This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and/this differ-
ence called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster tlian mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6.''1 ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
Rising and Setting of the Sun.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
incorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

Tides.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of the
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for Southport, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Obseryations*
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the .
fikirer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning,
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn nearly in the
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, fUlland last quarter happening during six of the afternoon ho urs
1. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as
U noted in the table.
TUKNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
SOLAR AND LUNA DOMINION.
The moon gives out heat enough to affect
a tiiermometer and make a difference of two
OT three degrees.
The light of the sun is equal to 5,563 wax
candles, held at the distance of one foot
from the eye. It would require 600,000 full
moons to produce a day as brilliant as one
oi cloudless sunshine.
The spots on the sun succeed each other
every five and a half years, so that in eleven
•years the sun passes through all its stages
of purity and spottiness; that is, about
niae times in the course of every century.
The sun gives 600,000 times as much light
as the moon; 7,000,000,000 as much as the
brightest star, and 36,000,000 as much as all
the stars combined. In size the sun equals
1^00,000 earths, but owing to its smaller
density its weight equals only 300,000
earths.
The earth is nearer to the sun in winter
than in summer, but the cause of the cold
weather of the former season is the oblique
inclination of the sun's rays. Did the sun
shine as directly on the earth's surface in
January as in June the winter would be the
hotter season.
The amount of heat received by any one
part of the earth's surface depends mainly
Hpon the altitude in the heavens, attained
by the sun m that particular locality. The
kigEer the sun rises, the hotter are its
bc^uns, and the longer Ihe period during
which its lighl and heat are enjoyed.
The Sim exerts mighty and mysterious in-
fluences over the earth, independently of his
attraction and of his heat. That there is a
tlose connection between solar and luna
force, and magnetism, has been abundantly
demonstrated, though the nature of that
connection is still, to a great extent, a prob-
lem awaiting solution.
It is mainly to the moon that we are in-
debted for the tides. By the attractive
power of the moon, operating all over the
world, the ocean is heaved up at opposite
sides of the gloHe in two broad waves,
which travel round the world, steadily fol-
lowing the advancing moon. Two similar
waves follow the sun, and the high wave,
known as spring tide, is caused by the com-
bination of the two.
The amount of solar heat received by the
earth is enormous. It has been calculated
tkat one square mile exposed at noon under
the equator, 26,000 toiis of ice would be
melted in an hour; and fifty million times
this amoimt of heat is actually received by
the earth from the sun every day. Were
this amount of heat evenly distributed over
the earth's surface, it would, in the course
of a year, heat to the boiling point, an ocean
ol frozen water, sixty miles deep.
When we remember that the three forms
in which matter exists, solid, liquid and
gaseous, are due to different degrees of
heat, we at once perceive the importance of
solar heat in relation to the state of organic
matter. The results are seen at a glance, in
the conftrast presented b^ the tropic and
frigid zones; the flowing seas and rivers of
the one, and the frozen floods and icebergs
of the other, are due solely to the increase
or dimunition of solar heat.
Every atom in the universe attracts every
other atom with a force inverse to the
square of the distance. Such is the great
and universal law of gravitation. What
then must be the attractive power exercised
on our globe by the sun and its closely at-
tendant satellite, the m6on, which is a world
7,000 miles in circumference with a mass
estimated at 78,000,000,000,000,000,000 of
tons? And how stupendous and overmas-
tering must be the attractive force brought
to bear upon the earth by the sun, which is
the central orb of the system, which is 700
times greater than all the planets put to-
gether, and a million times larger than the
earth itself? A ponderous luminous globe,
equal to a million worlds In magnitude, is
ever exerting on our world all its might of
irresistible attraction.
In order to understand the action of the
moon on our earth as a tide-producing body,
we will suppose that the earth consists of a
smooth sphere, covered all over with water
of a uniform depth, and that both bodies
are at rest with respect to each other; th«i,
the attraction of the moon on the water
nearest to her will be greater than her at-
traction on the solid earth, and will cause a
heaping-up of the water towards her. This
appears natural enough; but, at first sight,
it does seem somewhat paradoxical that the
water should also be heaped up in a direc-
tion opposite to the moon.. This is explained
Ey the fact that the water, on the side away
from the moon, is attracted less than the
solid ball of the earth, and the latter is, as
It were, drawn away from the water, thus
causing the liquid to be swelled up, although
not quite to the same cxtertt as on the other
side, because its distance being greater tEan
in the first case, the moon atlxaction is leas.

ASTRONOMICAL MISCELLANY.
The moon is without water, and destitute
of an atmosphere.
The nearest fixed star is 21,000,000,000
miles from the earth.
. Some of the stars move with a velocity of
nearly 50 miles a second.
The fixed stars are suns and each may
have its own planetary system.
There are twenty stars of the first magni-
tude and seventy of the second.
The fixed star second in distance is 63,-
000,000,000 of miles from the earth.
Astronomers claim that there are 17,500,-
000 comets in the solar system.
The circumference of the earth's orbi|r is
about 612„309,500 miles, that of the moon
about 1,500,493 miles.
The earth at the equator moves at the
rate of a mile in 3.6 seconds, fourteenths of
a second slower than the velocity of a can-
non ball.
The earth's orbit, like those of such other
celestial bodies as can be closely studied, is
elfiptical, but not to such an extent that
the variation from a circle could be detected
by the eye were the orbit reduced to pro-
portions that the eye could grasp. Its long
and shor€ diameters differ only in the ratio
of fifty-nine to sixty. The moon's greatest
distance from the earth's centre is 252,600
miles, its least distance 221,700 miles.
Within the past sixty years it has seemed
impossible that man should ever so far pen-
etrate the secrets of the universe as to dis-
cover the chemical constitution of the stars.
Yet this is now accomplished, and it can be
demonstrated as to whether a heavenly body
is approaching o^ receding from the earth.
The Pole star is some 270 trillions of miles
distant from the earth. Even in the swift
passage of light it would require forty-
seven years for a ray to pass from the Pole
star to the earth.
Prof. Chandler, of Cambridge, publishes a
list of all the stars which are certainly
known at present to be variable, 260 in
number (sixty- two of them naked-eye
stars), and adds a subsidiary list of one
hundred more which are more or less
strongly suspected. Of the 260 about thir-
ty-five are known to be irregular and un-
predictable in their variations, and about
as many more are still in doubt as regards
the periodicity of their changes. The re-
maining 190 are clearly periodic.
The strongest telescopes bring the mooa
to an apparent distance of 100 miles.
We don't know that a very definite idea
can be conveyed to the mind of the magnifi-
cent distances of the universe by statemen1«
of the time it would take to travel or send
messages from earth to the various solar
stations, but there is a fascination in the
vagueness of the impression given. Thus,
according to Sir Robert Bau, a telegram
sent at the usual rate — that is, 186,000 miles
a second — would require seventy-eight
years to reach The most distant telescopic
stars. •
In astronomy we are dazed by excessive
magnitudes. Thus the sun is a miUion
times larger than the earth. A smart boy
will count a thousand in five minutes. At
this high rate, it would require eighty-two
ana a third solid hours to count a million.
How many of us ever counted a million?
The moon is two hundred and forty thou-
sand miles from the earth, and so her orbit
around the world has a diameter four hun-
dred and eighty thousand miles. The sun's
diameter is about eight hundred thousand
miles.
The magnitude of space is illustrated by
Sir Robert Ball by comparing the distance
of the stars from us with that of the sun.
Of these the most striking is Arcturos, and
Dr. Elkin has put this star at such a dis-
tance from the solar system that the orbit
of the earth round the sun must seem from
Arcturus as large as a penny piece woidd,
seen at a hundred miles. Arcturus, in other
words is perhaps a dozen times as far off
from us as Procyon is, and Procyon, one of
the nearest bright stars, is a million times
the distance of the sun from us.
Astronomers say that the fabulous num-
ber of 20,000,000 stars, all aglow, can be
seen with a powerful telescope. When we
consider that the nearest of these is 200,000
times as far from us as the sun, and that '
would take from three and a half to twenty-
one years for the light which reaches us to
cease if they were extinguished, we can not
grasp and hold the vast conception in our
minds. Yet it is supposed that each of
these is a central sun, with its own colony
of planets circling round it, which in size
are vastly superior to those of our o^vn solar
system and are traveling through space
with such speed that it is impossible for us
to comprehend it. The star Sirius is said to
be moving fifty-four miles a second, or 194,-
400 miles per hour, a flaming mass leading
its brood of planets through illimitable
space.

4®=- Break off some one evil, seek to uproot soma
one sin, cut off some one self-indulgence, deny thy-
self some one vanity; do it as an offering to God, for
the love of God, in hope once to see God; and some
gleam of faith and life and love will stream down
upon thy soul from the everlasting fount of love.
Follow on, and thou shalt never lose that track of
light.— Edward B. Pusey.
Not Exactly What She Wanted.
A teacher was instructing a class of in-
fants in the Sunday School and was letting
the children finish her sentences to make
sure they understood.
"The idol had eyes," she said, "but it
couldn't—"
"See," cried the children.
•It had ears, but it couldn't — "
'Hear," said the class.
"It had lips, but it couldn't—"
"Speak," said the children.
"It had a nose, but it couldn't — '-'
"Wipe it!" shouted the little ones, and
the teacher had to pause in her lesson in
order to recover her composure.
Almost Right.
'What is the plural of man, Johnny?"
a&ked the teacher of a small pupil.
"Men," answered Johnny.
"Correct," said the teacher. "And what
the plural of child?"
•Twins," was the unexpected answer.
One Tongue.
"Xo," exclaimed Mr. Penhecker, "No,
madam, I object most decidedly. Once and
for all I say it — the girls shall not be taught
foreign languages." "And why not, pray,"
said Mrs. P., with withering sarcasm. "Be-
cause," said Mr. P., with more withering
sarcasm, "because, Mrs. P., one tongue is
enough for any woman!" Mrs. Penhecker
responded not.
Why are drunkards and lawyers alike ?
Because they are always to be found at the
bar.
When are apples like Adam and Eve?
When falling.
When are men's souls and bank bills
alike? WTien past redemption.
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy dress-
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shal-
lots. Lettuce plarits from fall sowing transplant.
Spinach may be sown for early spring use. Onions
hoe and all other hardy crops planted in autumn.
Peas sow at intervals; some may be frosted, but try
again. Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrub-
bery may be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat
Dutch Cabbage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty
of manvire.
FARM NOTES.
Save the straw carefully. Three pounds
of oat straw has a potential feeding value
equal to four pounds of average meadow
hay.
One of the great hindrances in all of our
agricultural enterprises, is that our farm-
ers fail to inform themselves.
Do not overlook the water furrows in
your grain fields, but see that nothing in-
terferes with the free passage of water dur-
ing rains and thaws.
The chief industry of the State being
Agriculture, the Elements of Agriculture
should be taught in our common schools.
We need more wheat, more grass, more
I stock, more manure, more clover, more bees,
I more of everything that will make us more
independent and self-sustaining.
Many farmers say they can not aiford to
6uy books or take scientific journals, but
they annually smoke or chew up much more
than enough to amply supply them with the
best of reading.
The farmer who gets the largest crops
from the smallest number of well-husbanded
acres, is the one who will reap the largest
profit from his investment of time and
money.
Farmers, make your liomes pleasant to
your boys by not "bearing on the grindstone
too heavily;" teach them to love the old
farm, so that when they come to be men
they will not run to the city for a position
behind the counter, biit be satisfied.

iSSf" The universe is as full of truth and goodness
as it is of light. And no more svirely does the con-
stant day retium alike to the "just and the unjust"
than true lives will rebuke oiu: untruth, earnest op-
portunities rebuke our reluctant sloth of spirit by
their brave and cheerful solicitings.— Henry Wilder
Foote.
Why She Suspected.
"What makes you suspect," her mother
asked, "that William is inclined to drink
more strong liquor than is good for him?"
"W-w-well, when he came h-home last
night," she sobbed, "I went out into the up-
stairs hall in my nightgown and turned on
the light and w-waited for him to come up."
"Yes, my poor child — ^go on."
"And he 1-1-looked up at me and said:
*S-s-shary, ol' g-g-girl, 'm I r-r-runnin' a
harem or are you t-t- triplets ?' "
Wanted it Warmer.
Patient — "What would you think
warmer climate for me, Doctor?"
Doctor — '^Good heavens, sir, that's
what I am trying lo save you from!"
of a
just
The New Quadruped.
Teacher — "Willie, what is a quadruped?"
Willie — "A thing with four legs, sir."
Teacher — "Name one."
Willie— "An elephant."
Teacher — "Are there any feathered quad-
rupeds?"
WiUie— "Yes, sir."
Teacher— "What?"
WilUe— "A feather bed sir."
Tears Wiped Away.
"Mamma," said little Henry, putting his
arm around his mother's neck, and laying
his cheek against hers, "will God wipe the
tears away from my eyes, if I can't find you
when I get into the New Jerusalem?"
Why are clergymen and shoemakers the
most pious of men? Because both look out
for their souls?
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating materials
for hotbeds; for which select situation protected by»
fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress, grafting exe-
cute. Fruit trees and shrubbery transplant. Plant
early potatoes. Spinach sow, also Radishes, Carrots,
Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cabbage plants from differ-
ent sowings, transplant Lettuce plants. Peas plaint —
the extra early is the best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage,
Tomato, Egg Plant, Lettuce, Radish, etc. Don't be
deterred in your operations for fear of loss by change
of temperature, but have at hand the means of pro-
tection against hard weather, or you will be behind
your enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Warmth saves feed, helps fattening and
prevents sickness among live stock.
To buy from abroad what we can make
or raise at home, will keep any family or
State poor.
The man who loves country life better
than town life, everything else being equal,
will succeed the best.
A man that feeds his stock in mud knee
deep will generally find himself knee deep
in debt.
Sheep husbandry with proper attention,
is far more profitable with the same capital,
dollar for dollar, than raising cotton.
Working over the manure in the heap is a
practice that should be made general on all
farms. The manure requires overhauling
and such work pays.
Do not be afraid of overdoing the poultry
business, for eggs are imported into this
country every year, and neither the egg nor
poultry market has ever been known to be
glutted.
It is an important point in our State
agriculture to determine the best varieties
for cultivation of all the staple crops, and
until this IS done, we can not expect the
best results generally.
Big cash premiums at Fairs for horse rac-
ing, and cheap hoop-skirt premiums for
stock and products of the soil, will never
energize our State agriculture.

-0^ Every trial that we pass through is capable of
being the seed of a noble character. Every tempta-
tion that we meet in the path of duty is another
chance of filling our souls with the power of Heaven.
— Frederick Temple.
Something Like a Love!
"Amelia, for thee — yes, at thy command,
I'd teax this eternal firmament in a thou-
sand fragments; I'd gather the stars one
by one as they tumble from the regions of
ethereal space, and put them in my trousers
pocket; I'd pluck the sun, that Oriental god
of day, that traverses the blue arch of
heaven in such majestic splendor — ^I'd tear
him from the sky, and quench his bright
effulgence in the fountain of my eternal
love for thee!"
Worse Than That.
'*I am told, sir, that you spoke of me as a
common liar."
"Whoever told you that, sir, must have
been trying to break it to you gently. I
said you were a whole Bureau of statistics."
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especially the large York. Fresh beds
of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale and Rhubarb and
Strawberry set out; plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Corn; sow Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Cu-
cumber, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper,
at the close of the month. Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Rotten wood, leaves and forest cleanings
j make excellent plant food, when ploughed
into the ground.
j Clover that sends its roots d^p into the
I earth is considered the best sub-soiling
agent to be had.
Bone dust is a lasting manure, as it will
continue to fertilize plants for years, when
not ground too fine.
Liquid manure does its work at once, solid
manure requires time, but yet it is certain
in its effects.
Fertilizers for spring crops should be such
as are quickly soluble and readily taken up
as food by plants.
Cotton land bed up now and reverse beds
in April, just before planting, or lay off
now, apply manure, list with two turrows
and complete bed afterwards.
Diversify your crops: It is cheaper to
raise your supplies than to buy them, and
the chances of success are greater with a
diversity of crops than a single one.
Subsoiling: Drought is the great enemy
of upland crops. To prevent its evil effecrta
folloAV the turn plow with a subsoil plow as
deep as one horse or mule can pull it.
Plant corn as soon as the earth is warm
enough to secure a stand. As a rule, early
planting produces the best crop. Another
advantage is, it can be laid by early and
thus give time to work the cotton crop. On
up-land give good distance — a smoothing
harrow may be run over after planting to a
good advantage.

Smart Boy — Say, mister, you've got your
saddle on wrong.
Gentleman from the Coujitry — (Indig-
nantly)— "Guess you don't know which way
I'm goin', smartee!"
In France, love is a comedy; in England,
a tragedy; in €taly, an opera; in Germany,
a melodrama; in America, a business aftair.
"There is more pleasure in giving than re-
ceiving," was the proverb that a mother was
trying to instil into a youthful mind.
"That's true about castor oil, mother," was
the answer she golt.
"Aunty, wat makes de little baby cry so?
Do it want its mudder?" "Yes, dear, and
its fodder, too?"
"Oh, ma," said a little girl who had been
io the show, "I've seen the elephant and he
walks backwards and eats with his tail."

Mrs. H.— That is lovely! How?
Mr. H. — Instead of suing a man for what
he owed me, I let him have it.
What's the strongest term a man can use

Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas, Poti
toes, Be«ts, Com, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Cx
cumbers. Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okri
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper, Lettuo
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and Marc
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter use. So
Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savoy Cabbag
seed for plants to be set out in Jime. Beans ma
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to hea<j
draw up earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed lai
month should be hoed and thinned. TranspUu
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expe<
fine heads. Citron and watermelon plant. Sma
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for u*
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminal
weeds. Additional root crop may now be Bowi
Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs. Rememb<
to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOTES.
Every farm should be an experiment sta
tion, and every farmer an experimenter.
The plow is the remedy for drouth. Kee
it moving.
It IS usual to sow grass seed as early a
possible, so that the young plants ma;
make a fair growth before the very wan
days of summer.
Education, menltal strength and vigoi
pay as well on the farm as in any othe
department of human life.
Have you killed all the bushes, thistlei
etc., or prevented their going to seed?
I^oung Stock: As the change of fee
comes on, care must be exercised in regar
to yoimg animals. It is best to turn ther
on to grass for an hour or two daily, be for
the pasture becomes full. Well conditionei
yearlings are in more danger than poore
ones, and with them greater care should b
taken.
Planting: It is of the highest importanc
to plant well._ The land must be in go<>
tilth, for seeas do not germinate well h
turf and clods. A good harrowing just be
fore the crop is planted is worth two work
ings in clod and turf after it. It make
the surface smooth and fine, gives a looai
Bed for the seed to grow in.

>9^ Think who Christ is, and what Christ is — and
then think what His personal influence must be —
quite infinite, boundless, miraculous. So that the
very blessedness of heaven will not be merely the
sight of our Lord; it will be the being made holy,
and kept holy, by that sight.— Charles Kingsley.
Pressed.
She — "I am. always afraid of you jour-
nalists."
He— "Why?"
She — "Oh, one never knows when you're
going to press."
Set Her a-Thinkin'.
Pat was a bashful lover and Biddy was
coy — but not too coy.
"Biddy," Pat began, timidly, "did ye ivver
think av marryin'?"
. "Sure, now, th' subjectt has nivver en-
tered me thoughts," demurely replied Biddy.
"It's sorry ul am,'* said Pat, turning
away.
"Wan minute, Pat!" called Biddy, softly.
"Ye've set me a-thinkin'."
Prof. Bore — Miss Ketchum, what kind of
a noun is a kiss?
Miss Ketchum — Ck)mmon.
Prof. Bore — Decline it.
Miss Ketchum — ^T never do.
When are stockings like tow-boats ? When
toed out.
Why are card-players, holding aces in
their hands, like threatened blows from an
enemy? Because they are men-aced. .
What meat reminds us of an occupant of
the ark? A ham.
When are men like sheep ? When getting
fleeced.
When are prisoners like boats? When
getting bailed out.
"Ah! my darling wife," said Goerge, the
week after his marriage, "If your husband
were to die, what would you do?" "I don't
know, I am sure, George," said the wife, re-
flectively. "I never thought of that. I must
look in my Book of Etiquette and read the
rules for young widows!"
Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantation? of Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc.,
hoe them frequently and draw earth to the stems;
thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots, Parsnips
and Salsify, and sow all kinds omitted last month.
Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce, Tomato, Egg
Plant from hotbeds to warm borders. Plant Beans,
bush or bunch, for a succession; Lima, Carolina and
other pole Beans, Cabbage plants, sow seed if not
done last month; also. Carrot, Cauliflower, Cucum-
ber, Indian Com crops which have failed first sow-
ing. Repeat Melons, Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Pota-
toes, Pumpkin and Squash. Sow Cabbage for win-
ter; Corn plant for succession. Finish showing all
kinds of Aromatic, Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FARM NOTES.
A poor farmer can not conceal the fact
that he is a poor farmer.
Watch the manure heap as you would a
mine of gold.
The plow and vegetation turned under is
the only salvation of the country.
It pays to have a garden, if you will take
care of it; if you can't or won't, do not at-
1 tempt it.
To keep the hoe busy between now and
haying is to more than half insure the suc-
cess of the crop.
I Potato slips should be put out as fast as
I they come, and make them come rapidly by
watering the beds copiously.
Sows that are bred this month will have
pigs in September, an excellent time for
those who can make small pork for Christ-
mas.
When a large farm is run with hired help
exclusively, machinery must take the place
of hand labor, and is, therefore, a necessary
adjunct.
The rational policy of farming is to make
every acre of capital pay interest and taxes
on its real value, in addition to a profit for
management.
No farmer can afford to purchase flour
for his family, or pork or potatoes, or ap-
ples, or any of the necessaries or luxuries of
life that his farm ^yill produce.

ij®- I find that it is not the circumstances in which
we are placed, but the spirit in which we meet them
that constitutes our comfort; and that this may be
.undisturbed, if we seek for and cherish a feeling of
quiet submission, whatever may be the privations
allotted us.— Elizabeth T. King.
The Only Chance.
"You talk a great deal in your sleep,
John," said Mrs. Henpeck.
"It's the only chance I get," said John,
meekly.
Not in that Bed.
Landlady — "I hope you slept well, sir?"
New Boarder — "No, I didn't. I've been
troubled with insomnia."
Landlady — "Look here, young man. I'll
give you a five dollar bill for every one
Tou find in that bed!"
Natural"History.
A class in natural history were called up
for recitation. The teacher talked to them
awhile about the relations of friendship
between man and animals, and then asked
a girl:
"Do animals really possess the sentiment
of affection?"
"Yes, almost always," said the little girl.
"And now," said the teacher, turning to a
little boy, "tell me what animal has the
ijreatest natural fondness for man?"
'*Woman!" said the boy.
When are men like time? When taken

When are fruits like our sweethearts?

When are noses and fires alike?

Garden Calendar for June.
Plant kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed, Summer
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots;
transplant Cabbage, Celtry and Cucumbers. Melons
and Squashes may be planted for a succession, also
Com. As herbs come into flower they should ba cut
and put irito a shady place to dry. The chief labor
of the garden had better be directed to what is al-
ready in growth.
FARM NOTES.
The farmer who fails to keep a correct ac-
count with each lot and crop is very apt to
cheat himself.
Buckwheai may be sown toward the end
of this or next month — three pecks to one
acre is the usual quantity sown.
Fodder Crops: It is a good time now to
sow com for lodder, and also some of the
new forage crops.
Stirring the Soil: We can not too earn-
estly urge upon farmers the necessity of
stirring the soil, especially in dry weather.
It is the only possible means of providing
against drouth.
Sowing Peas: It is a good practice to
sow peas among com at the last plowing.
Experiments made to test the question of
how much the corn crop is cut off by sowing
peas, showed that it was scarcely appre-
ciable.
Orchard: Let the pigs have the run of
the orchard. They pick up all the "wind-
falls," and while thus supplying themselves
with food, they are destroying a large crop
of insects, that, if spared, may seriously
damage Lhe orchard.
Late Plowing of Com: Up to the time
that com "bunches" or is preparing to tas-
sel, it may be plowed with shovels or com-
paratively deep running ploughs, but after
that period the culture should be exceedinly
shallow.
Cleanliness will prevent more disease than
medicine. Tear dovm the old straw stack
and spread all around the bam where your
horses and cows and the family have to.
walk.

FARM NOTES.
It is important that nothing should be
left in a corn field after its last working,
but the com itself and the peas plantca or
sown in it.
In agriculture there are any amount of
theories, but there are a great many more
facts. These have to be dug out of the soil,
but theories can be spun in an arm chair
at any time.
Cotton, work at longer intervals, and run
the plow quite shallow — frequent and deep
workings now encourage too much the for-
mation of weed. What is needed is a slow
steady growth and forming of fruit.
Live stock need scfme extra care and at-
tention now; see that working animals are
regularly fed and watered. ^ Put tar in the
sheep's troughs to protect them from the
fly. Give hogs green food or by preference
the run of a clover field.
FlaJt turnips may be put in from the 25th
of this to the same date of next month. A
good sandy loam is the soil best suiting
them, and new land is especially favorable.
Ashes and superphosphate seem the natural
fertilizers and the ground should be in good
order.
The most successful fruit growers. East
and West, have decided that there is no
better remedy for the codling moth than to
pasture the hogs in the orchard, lo eat the
wormy apples and the worms therein. If
the orchards are too large for the number
of hogs kept, sheep are turned in.

Mrs. "^ridey (sobbing) — I don't care what
you say, Harry doesn't love me as much as
he did.
Her Mother — ^How ridiculous! Why, only

Willie Again.
"Why, pa, this is roast .beef!" exclaimed
little Willie at dinner, on the evening when
Mr. Chumpleigh was present as the guest of
honor.
"Of course," said the lather. "What of

"Why, you told ma this morning that
you were going to bring a 'muttonhead'

Knock the Stuffin Out.
A good mother was trying t^ explain to a
young hopeful about fighting against the
devil. After telling the little fellow who the
devil was and how hard he was to resist
successfully, he turned around and said:
"Mamma, I'd be scared of the old devil, but
if I was to come across one of his little
devils I'd knock the stuffin out of him."

Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans; prepare ground for Turnips,
Spinach, Shallots, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early Dwarf and Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Collard seed, earth up Celery. Broccoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stanS winter. Carrots sow. Squashes
sow. Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table use at in-
tervals. Potatoes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill
for heading; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for win-
ter supply, but as the seed vegetate with difficulty
at this season, repeat until successful; cut sage and
other herbs, gather seed and prepare g^round 'or late
crops.
FARM NOTES.
The best remedy we know for hog cholera
is a half teaspoonful of carbolic acid in a
gill of milk. Administer from a long-neck
bottle.
All weeds should be cut, gathered up and
burned, both in the garden and in the field —
that is, if they have been left to ripen seed.
Weeds in a com hill are like parasites on
an animal, drawing the life blood out of it,
and not to use the hoe in their extermina-
tion is the very way to establish them om
the farm.
Th^re should be a record of the orchard
in some quickly available shape from whick
it may be seen at a glance what variety
such and such a 'tree is.
Remember to give the pigs a little char-
coal occasionally. It corrects the acidity of
the stomach and insures a healthy condi-
tion. If it is not easy to procure charcoal
give cinders of stove coal.
Plaster should always be kept on hand in
the barn. It will promote the growth of
nearly all plants, affords partial protection
against drought and will furnishe soluble
lime to plants that need it. Of all the fer-
tilizers known plaster is the cheapest, and
for its cost is the most remunerative. Two
bushels only are needed for a good applica-
tion. It is a special fertilizer for clover,
beans, peas and potatoes.

When is a house like the eai'th's globe?
When inhabited.
Why are horses like watches? They are
timed and run.
Wfieo are dogs like hens? When setters.
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York L.abbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. Celery plants need tillage.- Lettuce may
be transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
Seeding Wheat: From the 15th of Sep-
tember to the 15th of October is the most
favorable time in this latitude. Soil in
which clay predominates is best, and a roll-
ing surface preferred, as from better drain-
age it is less liable to ru^t. A thorough
preparation of the soil by plowing, harrow-
ing and manuring, is of great importance.
Manures rich in nitrogen and phosphoric
acid are best for wheat.
Seed Com: It is as important to have
the best seed for corn as for any other crop
and a careful selection of seed in the field
each season will give increased crops. Se-
lect large, full- sized ears from sma.^ stalks
wit hthe largest number of ears. The top
ear is generally considered the best on the
stalk.
The crops, which, if sown now, can be
soonest harvested are turnips, rye, oats,
and wheat. In view of the great scarcity
of com and forage and the high prices these
articles will command, we would advise a
bountiful sowing of some or aii of these
crops. With an abundance of turnips and
coarse forage stock can be kept in good con-
dition through the winter; rye will give
early pasturage and can be cut in April for
forage. Oats will give feed for spring work
while wheat can be readily converted into
cash at good figures, as Southern wheat is
the earliest in the market and commands
top prices.

threatening; 11th to 13th, stormy conditions general;

MS^It we would endeavor, like men of courage, to
stand in the battle, surely we should feel the favor-
able assistance of God from heaven. For he who
giveth U3 occasion to fight, to the end we may get
the victory, is ready to succor those that fight man-
fully, and do trust in His grace. — Thomas A. Kempis.
And She Believed Him.
"John, dear, does your business bring you
into contact with publishers ?" asked the in-
nocent little wife.
"Yes," John replied, hesitatingly. "But
why do you ask?"
"You were talking in your sleep about
book-makers."
Skeptical.
A skeptical young mdn confronted an old
Quaker with the statement that he did not
believe in the Bible. The Quaker said,
*TDost thou believe in France ?"
"Yes; though I have not seen it I have
seen others that have. Besides, there is
plenty of corroborative proof that such a
CiJuntry does exist."
"Then thee will not believe anything thee
or others have not' seen?"
"No. To be sure I won't."
"Did thee ever see thine own brains?"
■ "No."
"Ever see anybody that did?"
"No."
"Does thea believe thee has any!"
The young man left.
True.
Some men get up with the lark, while
others want a swallow the first thing in the
morning.
Why are men on the top of mountains
always bandits? Because they are high-
way-men.
When are people like pianos? When up-
right.
When are pastures like our stockings?
When they have a calf in.
In what respect does a man resemble an
oak? When growing a-com.
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant;
small bulb onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress; Strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and frost;
collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and expose
them to the winds and air on a dry bench before
they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
As a rule frosts come about the middle of
October, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.
The farmer who pastures ordinary mead-
ows in the fall robs his next crop to an ex-
tent that he does not realize.
Every orchard tree should always be
staked for the first year or two, for if not
killed at once by swaying about, its vitality
is greatly injured.
Proper sorting and bundling of tobacco
especially fine 'grades, have much to do with
regulating the prices for it when placed ©h
the market.
Although it is a common practice, tobacco
ought never to be taken loose to market,
where it too often is pulled and kicked
about like shucks.
Remember that as the fruit is taken from
the land year after year, valuable chemical
elements are removed, and hence it becomes
necessary to apply some fertilizing mate-
rials.
In growing white and red clover the use
of potash improves the growing of tke
former, while plaster is a special fertilizer
for the second. A mixture of ashes and
plaster, however, is highly beneficial to botk
crops.
Incoming cows: It is often the case that
cows are milked up to the time of calring.
Both cow and calf will be better off if ti»e
cow be dried from six to eight weeks pre-
viously. Such cows as can not be easily
dried should be milked regularly and fed
cautiously.

4®" Sympathy and love go together as naturally as
the perfume and the blossom; and just as the blos-
som under the influence of nature's forces ripens into
fruit, so the love and sympathy of a Christian life
develop into fruit for the blessing of humanity and
the glory of God.— A. S. Gumbart, D.I>.

about me, sissy ?" inquired an anxious lover

When are men's souls like water? When

What men have been, and always will be,

When are laces like remarks? When
pointed.
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
leaves of the cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery
earth up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips
and Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a good
time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting evergreens.
FARM NOTES.
In selling tobacco it is well to remember
that the larger the parcel of any kind the
better.
The most rational method of increasing
the feiftility of the soil is to jplow under the
crops that grew upon it.
There is perhaps no branch of farming
that yields safer or more steady returns
than orchard fruit.'
A tablespoonful of saltpetre just after
dropping her calf is good for a cow, to pre-
vent parturient fever or swelling of the bag.
Wheat bran and oilcake meal, combined
in a proportion by weight of two of bran to
one of meal, is an excellent food for cows
giving milk.
It is said that if apples are covered with
buckwheat chaff they will keep well and do
not freeze as easily as when straw, sawdust
or earth are used.
If you are going to set a new orchard re-
member that it is an excellent way to pre-
pare a plan of the orchard, showing the
position of each tree, variety, etc.
As to when it is best to sell no general
rule can be given, except that in face of a
short crop it is good policy to hold, but if
the crop be a large one early sales are ad-
visable.
Fruit trees are benefitted by mulching.
Various substances may be used for the
purpose. Straw, weeds, small bushes, saw-
dust, muck, or the like, afford suitable ma-
terial for mulching.

A Country Wit.
Smart Boy (to Villager) — Fminy, isn't it?
A horse can travel a mile without movin'
more than four feet.
(The Villager is atill trying to figure it
<mt.)
Two Girls in Their Room.
Maud (much exercised on perceiving a
very delicate pencil line of down) — ^What
would you do if- you had a mustache on
your lip?
Clare (entirely occupied with her own re-
flections)— ^Well, if he were nice, I should
keep very quiet.
Reversed.
Tom — ^Do you think you'll have much
trouble in popping the question?
Dick — No, I think I'll have more trouble
in questioning the pop.
SiUieus — "Which one of the books in the
Bible says that all men are liars?"
Cynicus — "I guess it must be the one that
was written by the fisherman; what was
his name?'*
Says Brother Watkins: "I doan loike de
man wot say 'all things cums to him wot
waits.' Ef I'd a done dat, do yo' s'pose I'd
evah had a wife an' fo'teen chiflen to
s'po't?"

Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open the ground may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attend to. Radish and Salad sow
in frames, also Lettuce. Transplanting trees may
still be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc. Trans-
pla-t all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown in Oc-
tober will be fit to put out. Sow large York to head
in January and February. Small Onions may still be
planted. Earth up Celery in dry weather. Thin
Spinach as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
A fruit grower placed tobacco stems^
around the trunks of peach trees, and there
is not the sign of a borer. He set the stems
around the butts of the trees, and tied thepa
at the tops. It keeps off rabbits as well in
winter.
/ Slaughtering hogs: It is the experience
of farmers that it is better to kill early in
the season (if the weather is favorable)
than late. Pigs gain very little, if any, in
cold weather.
* Rainy or snowy weather, when no work
can be done out doors, look after tools,
sharpen up and clean the plows, hoes, etc.,
so that when the time comes you can go to
work with satisfaction.
Wintering stock: Grood and comfortable
shelter for stock during winter is as neces-
sary as good feeding to keep stock health-
ful and in good order. Young cattle and
sheep ought at least to have sheds provided
for them, that they may keep dry. Sheep,
loo, ought to have dry shelters open to the
south, to which they can retreq^ in bad
weather.
Close up the year: Close up with the
year all outstanding debts. Balance ac-
counts with the farm before New Year, and
examine carefully the debt and credit side
to see where expenses might have been re-
duced, and how the receipts might have
been increased, and note them for future
guidance. Lay out your plans for next
year.

TEETHINA
i
Atlanta, Ga., November 19, 1900.
We have handled Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA (Teething Powders) ever since
Its first introduction to the public and trade as a Proprietary Medicine, and
our trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until our orders now
amount to two or three hundred gross per year, which is a very strong evi-
dence of its merit and the satisfaction it is giving to the mothers of the
country, for they say that nothing so effectually counteracts the effects of the
summer's hot sun or overcomes so quickly the troubles incident to teething.
THE LAMAR & RANKIN DRUG CO.,

Office of D. H. Hai t, Sec. of State,
Austin, Tex., November 21, 1900.
I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for my
teething children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every succeed-
ing day warned us that we woulS inevitably lose him. I happened upon
TEETHINA, and began at once administering it to him, and his improvement
was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuperated. I have con-
stantly kept it and used it since wim my children, and have taken great
pleasure in sounding its praises to all mothers of young children. I found it
invaluable even after the teething period was passed.

INDIAN WEED
Indian Weed gives tone to and builds up the prostrated nervous and muscu-
lar systems, and makes regular and healthy all the natural functions of the
female organism.
St. Louis, Mo., Post-Dispatch says: "Indian women are proverbially healthy
and strong, often marching for days with their babies upon their backs. In
fact, they frequently go the day before and after confinement, with their
tribes, upon the march. These women acquire this great strength and power
of endurance by using a weed that grows in their locality, out of which a
medicine is now being made, and kept by the druggists under the name
INDIAN WEED (Female Medicine)."

The Value of the Keeley Treatmeat to
North Carolina.
The question is asked, Is there a dollar
and cents value to the Keeley Cure? Un-
doubtedly. For example, here is a mast, an
habitue, who is a non-producer; he is a
charge upon somebody — his family, his
friends or the State. He is restored to B»an-
hood and becomes a producer. Allowing
that the average annual earnings of such
men as go to the Keeley Institute for treat-
ment is $1,000 (and this is a conservative
estimate), there is in the 3,000 and »ore
men- cured at the Greensboro Institute a
yearly earning of over $3,000,000. True
there are many patients who are not charges
upon their friends; but so there are num-
bers of them who earn far more than a
thousand a year, and there is not one but
whose income producing has been greatly
increased by the Cure. Thus, it is manifest
that a community receives direct benefit
from sending an inebriate to The Keeley
Institute, It gains in increased good order;
gains in the increased earning capacity of
the restored man, and gains in having per-
forme<l a rigliteous and charitsible action to
an unfortunate.

It IS entirely independent of water

the fields to kill stock. It requires
no base of supplies ; all you need
carry is a can of dry insecticide
and the gun. Without stooping —
the elbow does it— it applies any
powdered poison on any plant in
any desired quantity any time of the day. The elbow may be detached if desired. This tool is well made 61

Why We Lead
ARGUMENTS ARE EASILY
CONSTRUCTED
The more intelligent the arguer, the
more plausible his argument ap-
pears in print. But what about the
foundation on which such argu-
ment is built?
YOU CAN DEPEND ON
OUR REPRESENTATIONS
and merchandise. IVe don' I lay
claim to having better wearables
than other dealers, but it is daily
proven that the very same grades
reputable dealers sell are sold by us,
and for much less price.
BECAUSE ECONOMY
OUR WATCHWORD
IS
To raise the standard of quality and
lower the price is the all-absorbing
thought with us. Our strenuous
efforts to please — our honest meth-
ods of doing business — our ability —
i^ppeal to your liberal patronage,
and we deservingly get it.
MAN OR CHILD, ALL ARE
TREATED ALIKE HERE
Our goods are marked in plain ^%-
xxxQs— absolutely no deviation. Only
one way to do an honest business.
We don't stoop to deceptive means
of attracting it — everything done
here is open to the closest scrutiny.
THESE ARE STUBBORN,
INDISPUTABLE FACTS
Our value-giving has been tested for
years and established in the minds
of the consuming public. Every
sale that we make is the means of
adding a new customer.
WHY SHOULDN'T WE BE
TALKED ABOUT—
Talked of and talked to? Such>
values as we give are uncommon.
You know of our responsibility and
the truth of our representations.
We invite competition.
If Our Merchandise at the Price doesn't convince you that we are /b'h?er than
the to%>est.sa-y "good-bye" and walk out. This, however will nel^er
occur — our qualities at the price are loud and effective talkers.

PRACTICAL HINTS AND RECIPES.
A hot, strong lemonade, taken at bed-
time, will break up a bad cold.
A cup of strong coffee will remove the
odor of onions from the breatu.
^vL knife or borer moistened with a strong
solution of caustic soda or potash will cut
India rubber quite easily.
Intense thirst is satiated by wading in
water or by keeping the clothing saturated
witn water, even if it is taken from the sea.
A simple remedy for neuralgia is to ap-
ply grated horseradish, prepared the same
as tor table use, to the temple when the
face or head is affected, or to the wrist
when the pain is in t^ie arm or shoulder.
Waterproof paper and pasteboard as
strong as parchment are now made by
treating the sheets with a solution of oxide
of copper in ammonia, so as to partially
dissolve a thin film of the paper, which is
then dried.
Gilt frames may be cleaned by simply
washing with a small Sponge wet with hot
spirits of wine, or oil of turpentine — not too
wet, but sufficiently to take off the dirt and
fly-marks. They should not be afterward
wiped, but left to dry of themselves.
A writer in the British Medical Journal
declares that the elevation of the head of
the bed, by placing imder each leg a block
of wood the thickness of two bricks, is an
effective remedy for cramps. Patients who
have suffered at night, crying aloud with
pain, have found this plan to afford imme-
diate, certain and permanent relief.
Water can not satisfy the thirst which
attends cholera, dysentery, diarrhea and
some other forms of disease — in fg^ct, drink-
ing cold water seems to increase the thirst
and induce other disagreeable sensations;
but this thirst will be pertectly and pleas-
antly subdued by eating a comparatively
small amount of ice, swallowing it in aj
large pieces as practicable, and as much ai
is wanted.
A pleasant summer drink is made by the
following recipe: Boil half an ounce of
hops, half an ounce of ginger root, bruised,
in one an^ one-half gallons of water for
twenty-five minutes. Add one pound of
brown sugar, and boil ten minutes longer;
then strain and bottle while hot. WYieQ.
cold it will be ready for use. It must be
kept in a cool place. Dried hoehound may
be used instead of hops.
If the kitchen floor is not of hard wood
have it painted. V^enetian red, ochre or
raw sienna, ground in oil, are tne best
colors. They must be of standard make,
and it is well ta give three coats at the fij^t
time of painting. Two coats are absolutely
necessary. If the walls are painted, let a
coat of damar varnish be applied. There
will be no difficulty then in keeping them
sweet and clean, as soap and water may
be applied without showing streaks.
Rust can be removed from steel as fol-
lows: Rub the article with kerosene oil
and leave it to soak for a day. Then pro-
cure fine flour of emery and mix with kero-
sene oil and scour the surface, finishing
with rotten stone. To preserve from rust,
heat the steel and rub paraffine on it, and
when cold polish with a cloth dipped m
paraffine. No steel articles should be kept
in a cellar or damp place, but in a dry
attic or closet. If they must be kept in a
cellar they should be well coated with par-
affine and wrapped in cloth or paper; oiled
paper would be preferable. '
A cup of hot water drank before meali
will prevent nausea and dyspepsia.
If warts are occasionally touched with
acetic acid it is said they will go away.
A putty of starch and chloride of zino
hardens quickly, and lasts as a stopper of
holes in metals for months.

Virginia Egg Bread. — ^Dissolve one table -
spoonful of butter in three and a»half pints
of milk; add one quart of Indian meal, half
a pint of wheat flour, a little salt, and two
eggs, well beaten; mix all well together,
and bake in a buttered tin.
Beef-steaks. — The best pieces for steak
are the sirloin and rump; they should -e
cut nearly an inch thick. If the beef is
tough, sprinkle carbonate of soda over it
for an hour or two, washing it off when
needed for cooking. To fry a steak, put
into a saucepan lard enough to nearly cover
the steak; let it be boiling hot, as it will
cause the meat to retain its juicy flavor;
sprinkle on the steak sufficient salt and
pepper to season it, dredging it on both
sides with flour; put into the boiling lard,
and cover the saucepan closely; add one
onion, sliced thin, if preferred. Ten min-
utes is sufficient time to cook it.
To Broil a Steak.— rPrepare a brisk fire of
coals; put your griairon over it, but do not
let it get too hot before you put on tue
steak. As soon as the sinews become
crisped a little, bUrn the steak; be careful
not to spill the gravy on the fire. It will
require ten minutes to scald it through an
brown the outside. As soon as the steak
is cooked put it on a hot dish; add a little
black pepper and butter; serve hot.
To Clear Coffee — ^Turkish Mode. — As soon
as your coffee boils, pour some into a cup
and fling it back into the pot; repeat the
operation until the grounds sink, when ine
coffee will pour off clear.
Bread Omelette. — ^Put into a stew-pan a
teacupful of bread crumbs, a oeacup of
cream, a spoonful of butter, with salt, pep-
per and nutmeg. When the crumbs absorb
the cream, break in the eggs, beat them
with the mixture, and fry like plain ome-
lette.
Fried Potatoes. — Peel, wipe dry, and cut
in thin slices, put m a frying pan of hot
lard; when brown and crisp, drain in a
colander; sprinkle with salt, and serve very
hot.

atus; butter a pan and bake nearly an hour.
Buckwheat Cakes. — Take two quarts of
water, blood warm, half a pint brewer's
yeast, make a thin batter, let them rise as
far as they will come, then add three-
fourths of a teaspoonful of carb, soda, dis-
solved in a little water, then fry thenoi ai
quick as you like. ,
Hominy Cakes. — Get some grated hominy,
and boil it in milk ; beat up three eggs, with
a pint of milk and a little salt; beat this
all together into a batter; then have some
boiled fat, and make the cakes, and put
them in the fat and fry; eat them with
ham. It is an excellent dish for breakfast.
Rice Pudding. — Take one pound of rice,
boiled well with rich milk, stirred well un-
til it is soft, and then add half a pound of
butter, twelve eggs, well beaten, spic© t©
your taste, and bake it.

of grated green corn with three spoonfuls of
milk, a teacup of flour, half a teacup of
drawn butter, a teaspoonful of salt, half a
teaspoonful of pepper, and one egg. Drop

pressed from onions is said to be excellent,
given in molasses until vomiting is pro-
duced.
Cholera or Bowel Complaint. — The follow-
ing mixture is extensively used to check a

sponged with cold water until the sense re-
turns, when salt will completely restore the
To Cure a Felon. — Take equal parts of
gum camphor, gum opium, castile soap and
brown sugar; wet to consistency of paste
with spirits of turpentine and apply it. This
is said to be a certain cure.
Cure for Headache. — Make a mixture of

gauze with a rim of gutta percha to limited
spots on the forehead, or other parts of the
scalp where rheumatic headache is felt.
The skin is subjected to the process frona
half to one-and-a-half minutes, and is ren-
dered hard and w-ite..
Colonel Birch's Receipt for Rheumatie
Gout, or Acute Rheumatism. — Half an ounce
of nitre (saltpetre), half an ounce of sul-
phur, half an ounce of flour of mustard, half
an ounce of Turkey rhubarb, quarter of an
ounce of powdered gum guaiacum. Mix. A
tablespoonful to be taken every other night
for three nights, and omit three nights, in a
wineglass of cold water — water that has

Cure for Hydropnobia. — The Leipsic Ger-
man Journal publishes the following antidote
for the bite of a mad aog, which it say»
was an exclusive secret with a Saxon for-
ester, but who, growing old, was unwUlin^
to let it die with him, and, therefore, pro-
cured its publication. He is said to have
used it for fifteen years, and rescued many
human beings and cattle from the fearful
death of hydrophobia. The antidote: Take
immediately tepid water; wash the wound
clean therewith, and then dry it; then pour
upon the wound a few drops of hydrochloric
acid, because mineral acids destroy the pois-
ons of the saliva, by which means the latter
is neutralized.

To beat the whites of eggs quickly, add a
pincn of salt. Salt cools, and cold eggs
froth rapidly.
White spots upon varnished furniture
will disappear if you hold a hot plate from
the stove over them.
Never put salt into soup when cooking
till it has been thoroughly skimmed, as
salt prevents the scum from rising.
A tablespoonful of stewed tomato or to-
mato catsup added to the gravy of either
roast or fried meats improves it greatly.
Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks
where ants congregate will drive them

To remove grease from wall-paper, lay
several folds ot blotting-paper on the spot
and hold a hot iron near it until the grease
is absorbed.
You may avoid the unpleasantness to the

Tkey are whiter and mealier than when
baked the old way.
Always remove the conteni;s of tin cans
the moment they are opened. It is posi-
tively dangerous to leave canned goods in
the open cans. The action of the air upon
'the soldering of the cans forms an oxide
which renders the food unfit for use, cases
«f poisoning from this cause being reported
from time to time.
To test oleomargarine take a small bit of
lard and place it between two pieces of
thin, common window glass, each piece
about an inch square, and press together
until only a film remains. When held up
to the light white, opaque spots are always
to be seen. These are crystals of fat. For
the same reason oleomargarine and butter-
ine, containing, as they do, solid fats, may
be detected in the same manner. Pure but-
ter, on the contrary, does not show such
specks. A little experiment with lard in
this direction is an excellent means of cul-
tivating the eye and qualifying one to read-
ily determine, when applied to butters, the
imitation from the genuine. This rule is
practical enough, and is said to be a sure
one.
To brighten and clean old alpaca, wash in
coffee.
To brighten carpets, rub with a news-
paper instead of a brush.
When cooking beans add one -half tea-
spoonful of saleratus.
For burns, apply flour wet with cold
water, as it quickly gives relief,
• WTien sponge-cake becomes dry ii is nice
to cut in thin slices and toast.
WHien there is a crack m the stove it can
be mended by mixing ashes and salt with
water.
To make paper stick to a wall that has
been, whitewashed, wash in vinegar or sala-
ratus water.
When clothes are scorched, remove the
stain by placing the garment where the sun
can shine on it.
Starched shirts will iron easier if you let
them dry after starching, so you will have
t« sprinkle them before ironing.
Wash the hair in cold sage tea.
Milk, if put in an earthen jar, or even a
tin can, will keep sweet for a long time if
well wrapped in a wet cloth.
The wings of turkeys, geese and chickens
are good to wash and clean windows, as
they leave no dust nor lint, as cloth.
To brighten the inside of a coffee or tea-
pot, fill with water, add a small piece of
soap, and let it boil about forty-five min-
utes.
To exterminate bedbugs dissolve alum ia
water, and apply to the bedstead with a
feather. Be careful not to touch the paint
or varnish.
In boiling meat for soup put cold water
to it, and let it come slowly to a simmer -o
extract the juice. If meat is boiled for
itself alone, put it into boiling water, which
causes the outer surface to contract, and
the richness of the meat is retained within.
FlanneL which has become yellow with
use may be bleached by putting it for some
days in a solution of hard soap to which
strong ammonia has been added. The right
proportions are one pound and a half of
hard-cured soap, fifty pounds of soft water
and two -thirds of a pound of strong am-
monia solution. The same object may be
attained in a shorter time by placing the
flannel for a quarter of an hour in a weak
solution of bisulphate of sodium, to which
a little hydrochloric ac^u. has been added. ^
Grass stains may be removed by washing
with alcohol, i'ruit stains may be taken
out by boiling water. Place the material
over a basin or other vessel, and pour tne
boiling water from the kettle over the
stains. Candle-grease yields to a warm
iron. Place a piece of blotting or other ab-
sorbing paper under the absorbing fabric;
put a piece of the paper also on the spot,
apply the warm iron to the paper, and as
soon as a spot of grease appears move the
paper and press again until the spot dis-
appears. Lard will remove wagon-grease.
Rub the spot with the lard as if washing it,
and when it is well out wash in the ordi-
nary way with soap and water until thor-
oughly cleansed.

to its natural color, produces rapid and luxuriant

[Trom Kev. Samuel B. layman, Dar<tanelle» Hrk.» Tlugust 9» 1901.]
I have used the bottle of Xanthine purchased from you a few months ago, and find that it does what
is claimed for it, which is more than can be truthfully said of any of the preparations I have used hereto-
3 fore. I have never had anything to really prove satisfactory before. I am surprised that washing my
I hair with soap and water does not change the color, but rather soitens and improves it. I have found it a
^ most excellent preparation, and it gives me pleasure to express my high appreciation of its value.
^ My wife has used it also with equal satisfaction. We have found it all that is claijned for it.
Trom 3, Kent Kawley» Cs<|«, Jlttorney at Caw, Kicbmond, Ua.» Jlugust 30» 1901.
For several years my hair has been prematurely turning gray. I have used less than one-half a bottle
[j of the Xanthine, and find that my hair has been gradually restored to its natural color and greatly in-
i| vigorated. I find it a very pleasing hair dressing, with none of the elements of a hair dye.
At druggists. Price f i a bottle. Send for circulars, and mention this Almanac, If your druggist has
i not got it, send us 8i and we will send you a bottle, CHaRGKS PREPAID.

EBEJOO-:
CALENDARS.
The Roman calendar was introduced 738
B. C, by Romulus. It divided the years
into ten months, comprising b04 days.
The year of Romulus was of 50 days less
duration than the lunar year, and of 61
less than the solar year.
The Roman calendar was amendea by
Numa Pompilius, 713 B. C. He added two
months.
Julius Caesar, desiring to make it yet
more nearly correct, fixea the solar year
as being 365 days and six hoirs, 45 B. C.
This calendar, called the Julian, prevailed
throughout the Christian world until the
time of Pope Gregory Kill.
The Julian calendar was defective in that
its allotment of 365 days and six hours
was not the true solar year, which consists
of 365 days, five hours and 48 minutes, *8
seconds. Consesuently, the dilBference at
the time of Gregory XIII had amounted to
ten days, the vernal equinox then falling ob
the 11th, instead of the 21st of March. To
obviate this error, Gregory ordained in 1582
that that year should consist of 355 days,
ten days being dropped from the October c^
that year, and that all ordinary years n
the future should contain 365 days. T©
prevent further inaccuracies, it was decided
that a year beginning a century should not
be bissextile, with the exception of that be-
ginning each fourth century. Thus the
years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not
bissextile. The year 2000 will be a
leap year, however. One authority attrib-
utes the origin of the Gregorian style to
Aloysius Lilius or Luig Lilio Khiredi, a
Neapolitan astronomer and physician.
The Egyptian year had twelve months
of thirty days each, and counted five umal-
lotted days at the end.

The lunar year consists of twelve lunar
m^mths and 354 days.
The solar astronomical year is the period
of time in which the earth performs a rev-
olution in its orbit about the sun, and as
already stated is 265 days, 5 hours, 48 min-
utes, 46 seconds lon^.
la the early days of Greece the year was
rcigTilated entirely by the moon, ttolon di-
▼I4ed the year into twelve months, consist-
mg alternately of twenty -nine and thirty
days, the latter being styled "full months"
and the former "deficient months."
The Hebrew calendar is dated from the
Creation, which is assumed to have taken
place 3760 years and three months before
tke opening of the Christian era. The year
IB luni- solar, and, according as it is ordinary
or embolismic, consists of twelve or thir-
teen lunar months, each of which consists oi
twenty-nine or thirty days. Thus the dura-
ti©m of the ordinary year is 354 days, and
tkat of the embolismic 384 days.
Division of Time. — A "solar day" s meas-
ured by the rotation of the earth upon its
axis, and is of different lengths, owing to
the ellipisicity of the earth's orbit and
other causes; but a "mean solar day" is
twenty-four hours long, as reckoned by the
timepieces. An "astronomical day" com-
mences at noon and is counted from the fir&u
to the twenty-fourth hour. A "civil day"
commences at midnight and is counted from
tke first to the twelfth hour, and then
again commences with one and finishes with
twelve. A "nautical day" is reckoned lue
same as the "civil day," only that the
Tokening is begun at noon instead of mid-
i^ht. A "calendar month" varies from
twcaty- eight to thirty-one days. A "mean
lunar month" is twenty -nine days, twelve
hours, forty-four minutes, eight and two-
thirds seconds. A "year," which is the time
occupied by the sun in passing from one
normal equinox to the other, consists of
364,242.44 days, which is equal to 365 days,
five hours, forty -eight minutes, 49.536 sec-
onds, A "Julian year" is 365 days even.
A "Gregorian year" is 365.2425 days. The
error in the Gregorian mode of time reck-
oning amounts to but one day in each 3571
years.
INFORMATION FOR BUILDERS.
One thousand shingles laid four inches to
the weather will cover one hundred square
feet of surface, and five pounds of shingle-
nails will fasten them on.
One thousand laths will cover seventy
yards of surface, and eleven pounds of lath-
nails will put them on.
Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen buili-
els of sand and one bushel of hair will make
enough good mortar to plaster one hundred
square yards.
One-fifth, more siding and flooring is
needed than the number of square feet of
surface to be covered, because of the lap in
the matching and siding.
Five courses of brick will lay one foot in
height on a chimney; sixteen bricks in a
course will make a flue four inches wide
and twelve inches long.
Eight bricks to a course will make a flue
eight inches wide and sixteen inches long.
A cord of stone, three bushels of lime and
a cubic yard of sand will lay one hundred
cubic feet of wall. »,

ASTROLOGY.
Astrology is the science that teaches of
the effects of the heavenly bodies on the
things of the earth. It is the science of
applying astronomy to human uses; natural
phenomena.
Astrology is a true science and will prove
an invaluable guide in the journey through
life. That this science is the oldest in ex-
istence is proved by many facts dating far
back into the misty past— to the rise of
man in the Garden of Eden. For then it
was that Adam obtained wisdom even from
the stars in the heavens. Educated m'en of
every age and country believe that the stars
were placed in the heavens for some benefi-
cial purpose. The Signs of the Zodiac are
found in ancient temples known to be over
6,000 years old. King Solomon said, "There
is a time to sow and a time to reap that
which is sown. A time to love and a time
to hate, a time to laugh and a time to cry."
That there are proper and improper times
for the transaction of all the important af-
fairs Ox life, everyone must admit. Astrol-
ogy explains these matters with unfailing
accuracy.
This science must not De classed with
fortune-telling, clairvoyance, palmistry,
spiritualism, magic, mystery or any of the
many forms of divination as practiced at
the present day. Astrology is based on
sound scientific calculations, the result of
thousands of years of accumulated study.
With all the science of the present day, how
little we know of the wonders and mys-
teries of the Universe, buu they are oecom-
ing better known as ignorance and absurd
prejudice give way to knowledge and
reason.

NORTH CAROLINA
ALMANAC
-^m^:
FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD
1904.
Being Bissextile, or Leap Year, and until July 4th the 127th Year of our
American Independence (A. M. 5902.)
SPECIALLY CALCULATED FOR THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF NORTH CAROLINA
FROM THE HORIZON AND MERIDIAN OF RALEIGH.
ENNISS PUBLISHING COMPANY,
PINCK. C.ENNISS, Manager, RALEIGH. N. O.
This Almanac is calculated for the State of North Carolina only. All the astronomical phenomena
and data have been arranged exprestly for this State. Other almanacs which have calcala-;
tions for a dozen different States are not reliable as to exact time for North Carolina.
Every farmer should read page 56.
TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1903 for the year 1904, by The ;Enni8S PuBiiiSHiNa
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
4S-NOTE.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C. ALMANAC, in honor of the lat#»
HJEKRY D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it In
the year 1838. In 1867, Mj-. James H. Enniss, succeeded Mr. Turner in the publioatinn of the Almanac,
and under his administration was Issued regularly until his death in May, 1900. Since that time the
Almanac has been issued under the name of the Enniss Publishing Company,
Explanations and Remarks.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solai
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this differ-
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."1 ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
Rising and Setting of the San.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
lacorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

Morning and Evening Stars,
The Planet Venus (9) begins as Morning Star and continues as such until July 8tk,
after which date she will be Evening Star to the end of the year.
The Planet Mars (cT) will be Evening Star until May 30th, and then Morning Star th«
rest of the year.
The Planet Jupiter (91) is Evening Star until March 27th, then Morning Star until Octo-
ber 18th, and then Evening Star the balance of the year.
The Planet Saturn ( ^ ) will be Evening Star until February 1st, then Morning Star
until August 10th, and then Evening Star the balance of the year.
Eclipses in 1904.
In the year 1904 there will be two eclipses, both of the sun.
I. An annular eclipse of the sun March 16th, invisible here; visible to southern Asia,
eastern Africa and a number of islands in the East Indies.
II. A total eclipse of the sun September 9th, nob visible here; visible to an imniemM
portion of the Pacific Ocean on both sides of the Equator.
Tides.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the oon^
Bponding Intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of tbt
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tida
already found. In this almanac the tides for Southport, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and ha^v
been derived from data famished by the U. S. Coast and Qeodetio Survey.

METEOROLOGICAL.
At the equator the average annual rain-
fall is 100 inches.
Clouds are, on the average, about five
hundred yards in thickness.
Taking it year in and year out, the cold-
est hour of each twenty-four is five o'clock
in the morning.
An "inch of rain" means a gallon of
water spread over a surface of nearly two
square feet, or a fall of about 100 tons
upon an acre.
It is computed that every year the earth
receives about 146,000,000,000 shooting
stars, which fall on its surface and thus
■lowly increase its mass.
All clouds above the earth are caused
by the cooling of ascending currents of air,
and the consequenifc condenBation of the
moisture which they contain.
The mean annual temperature of the
globe is 50 degrees F. The average rain-
fall Is thirty- six inches. The mean an-
nual precipitation, rain and melted snow
in Boston is forty-six inches; in New York
eity forty-five inches.
Sir William Thompson is forced to con-
elude that the hitherto supposed connec-
tion between terrestrial magnetic storms
and sun spots has no existence, and that
the seeming agreemen|t between the pe-
riods is a mere coincidence and nothing
more.
Aeronauts can not rise much above five
miles of vertical height, on account of the
increasing rarity of the air, but double
that height has been attained by self -regis-
tering balloons, which tell us that some
ninety degrees of frost prevail up there.
The average rate of travel of storms
across the country is about six hundred
miles a day; some have travelled from the
Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast in
thirty-six hours, while others have taken
seven or eight days in covering the same
distance.
To the moisture in the air we are in-
debted for the maintenance of an even de-
gree of temperature. But for it night
would be colder than Greenland, even at the
tropics. It is the water in the air that
holds the sun's heat and keeps the earth
warm where direct sunlight fails to fall
upon bodies.
light passes from the sun to the earth
in about eight minutes, distance 95,000,000
miles. A locomotive travelling at the rate
of a mile a minute, would require upwards
of 180 years to accomplish the same jour-
ney.
It is worth remembering in prediction of
the weather that, other things equal, the
quicker a storm comes up the sooner, from
the nature of the case, it will be over. Thia
may frequently give us a hint as to the
early clearing away of a storm.
Heat-lightning is simply the reflection of
the lightning of distant storms, too far
away for the noise of the^thunder to reack
us. These storms often draw nearer and
develop into the ordinary type of thunder-
showers, or they may pass away in another
direction.
Prof. Elihu Thomson, in a lecture •»
"Cosmical Electricity," suggests the idea
that temporary or shooting stars, becoming
visible and then fading away, may be
merely the exchange of electric energy be-
tween highly charged planets possessing %
different polarity, and not stars at all.
The Weather Bureau expresses the opin-
ion that all the concussion experiments to
produce rain have been failures, and that
those conducted in Connecticut last summer
seemed to prolong the drpught in that sec-
tion, while there was plenty of rain in all
the region roundabout. \
It is a mistake to suppose that lightning
coole the air. At the time of a thunder-
storm a sharper contrast between the tem-
peratures of the upper and lower strata
than usual exists ; and the cold which some-
Bmes follows such storms is due to the on-
set of cooled atmospheric masses already in
the neighborhood.
A member of the Royal Meteorological
Society has experimented on the size of
rain-drops, which vary from a speck so
small as to be almost invisible up to a di-
ameter of two inches. Drops of the same
size do not always contain the same amount
of water. Some of the largest drops are
hollow.
Clement Ley divides the clouds Into three
great classes: First, those formed by local
ascending currents, or the cumulus type;
second, those caused by general ascending
currents covering a wide area, known as the
stratus type; and third, those formed by
the combination of local ascending currente
and general ascending currents, called com-
posites.

ASTRONOMICAL MISCELLANY.
It would take about 1,300 globes as large
as our #rth to make one equal in size to
Jupiter.
The Great Dipper revolves around the
Nprth star in 23 hours 56 minutes and four
seconds.
The planet Neptune has the longest day,
consisting of more than sixty thousand of
our days.
Immense as the bulk of Jupiter is, it
makes a complete turn on its axis in a trifle
less than ten hours.
The earth, travelling at the rate of 1,000
miles a minute, passes through 550,000,000
miles of space in the ^course of a year.
Mars is ordinarily 141,000,000 miles away
from the earth, but every fifteen years it
approaches to within 35,000,000 miles.
The giant of our planetary system is Ju-
piter. That planet has a diameter of 275,-
000 miles at the equator, and a velocity of
1,234 times greater than that of the earth.
To reach the nearest fixed star one must
travel 33,000,000,000 of kilometres, and if
the velocity were that of a cannon-ball, it
would require 5,000,000 years to travel the
distance.
Measured by our time standard, there are
forty years of constant daylight, followed
by forty years of unbroken night, around
the poles of Uranus. And the sun rises in
the west and sets in the east there.
The sun's surface is known to be subject
to greatly increased disturbances every
eleven years, known as the sunspot period.
Auroral displays and disturbances of the
eartn's magnetism have a similar period.
There are about 43,000,000 stars visible
with the aid of an 18- foot telescope. Stars
of the 13th magnitude, whose light takes
2,700 years to reach us, are thought to be
the center of a solar system like our own.
Falling stars, or "shooting" stars are not
stars at all, but meteors. Stars are im-
mense bodies, in many cases larger than our
sun, and revolving at such enormous dis-
tances from us that their positions remain
relatively fixed. Meteors are small bodies —
the vast majority ^veighing less than a
pound each, which in passing through our
protecting atmosphere are subjected to such
intense friction that they are reduced to
dust. Only in rare cases do they reach the
earth.
Prof. Dolebar says a powerful search-
light could project a beam to Mars in four
minutes which could be seen and responded
to if they have the apparatus that we have.
The aerial space within the limit of our
vision is calculated to have a diameter of
420,000,000,000 miles, and a circumference
of 1^29,742,000,000 miles. And this Is only
a fragment of the immensity of space.
The sun gives 801,072 times as much light
as the full moon. Sir J. Herschel calculated
that the star a Centauri gave 27,408 times
less light than the moon. The sun is, there-
fore, 22,000,000,000 times brighter than the
star.
Although Jupiter is 1,300 times as large
as the earth, it is only 316 times as heavy.
In order to become as solid as the earth It
must condense to one quarter of its present
size. Evidently such a process of condensa-
tion is now going on.
The number of stars visible to average
eyesight on an ordinary night, does not
much exceed 4,000 for both hemispheres.
For exceptionally keen eyesight, and a very
clear sky, we may perhaps allow a total of
10,000 for the whole star-sphere, or 5,000
visible from any one place at one time.
By a simple rule the length of the day
and night, any time of the year, may be
ascertained by simply doubling the time of
the Sim's rising, which will give the lengtk
of the night, and double the time of set-
ting will give the length of the day.
Many of the stars are heavier than our
sun. For example, Mizar, the middle star
in the tail of the Great Bear, is forty times
as heavy as the sun. To the ^aked eye
there are five or six thousands of these
heavenly bodies visible. In all probability
there are worlds revolving around them.
At the recent conversazione of the Royal
Society of London, Dr. Gill projected on the
screen a photographic star map containing
the images of about 42,000 stars. As every
star is a sun, we may infer therefrom some-
thing concerning the immensity of the scale
on which the universe is established.
Several years ago two white spots were
detected on the surface of the planet Venus,
and have since been studied by M. Trouve-
lot in nearly twg hundred and fifty observa-
tions. The spots appear to be near the
poles of the planet, and the eminent as-
tronomer concludes that they are the eum-
niits of high mountains projecting above
the opaque cloudy envelope which coven
Venus.

JtS" Hearts are linked to hearts by God. The
friend on whose fidelity you can count, whose suc-
cess in life flushes your cheek with honest satis-
l&ction, whose triumphant career you have traced
and read with a heart throbbing almost as if it
were a thing alive, for whose honor you would
answer as for your own ; that friend, given to you
ky circumstances over whi(?h you have no control,
was God's own gift.— F. W. Robertson.
Bright Boy: "Have we got a monster?"
Johnnie: "No; why?" "Because when 1
?aw pa hug our nurse he said, 'Let us look
•ut for that old monster.' Oh, let's run and
tell ma.'
Eddie: "Mamma, has my governess got
feathers!" Mamma: "Why, no child; what
put that queer idea in your head." Eddie t
"Well, I heard papa tell her in the conserva.
tory last night that she was a darling little
iuck."
Teacher — "Tommy, can you define sepa-
rator?"
Tommy — "A mother-in-law."
Teacher— "Why, Tommy!"
Tommy — "That's what pa says it means."
"Anything new in your neighborhood?"
we asked a farmer.
**Yes, the whole neighborhood is stirred
op," he 'replied.
'^What is the cause?" we asked eagerly.
"Ploughing," dryly answered the farmer.
Esther — "I suppose you would call the
•rewsters a perfect match. They always
act like a pair of lovers."
Constance — "Why, they are quarrelling
More than half the time."
Esther — "That's what I mean."
"Well, Johnnie, I hear you go to school
■ow."
"Yes."
"What part of it do you like best?"
"Coming home."
"Mary," said a fellow to a girl who had
red hair, "keep away from me, you will
set me on fire." "There is no danger of
that," said Mary, "you are too green to
Wm."
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare' hotbeds. Asparagtia beds give heayy dret»>
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shal-
lots. Lettuce plaints from fall sowing transplant.
Spinach may be sown for early spring use. Ooloni
hoe and all other hardy crops planted in autumn.
Peas sow at intervals; some may be frosted, but try
again. Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrub-
bery may be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat
Dutch Cabbage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty
of manure.
FARM NOTES.
Fuit crops are greatly benefited by ashes
as either wheat, vegetables or any of the
other garden crops. Applied early in tiie
season to fruit trees whose foliage is yellow
and half dead, a great change in the eolor
and quantity will be noticed before fall.
A writer thinks that the farmer who
buys nothing "which he can produce, should
be on the high road to success. It is not
so much the amount of money we can get
in, as it is the faculty of keeping the ex-
penses down that makes the profit in all
Something else than a rich soil is nccea-
sary to secure large crops. The principal
adjunct to success is cultivation. The soil
must be well worked. Muscle and brains
are required on all soils and in all seetfons.
A soil that grows crops luxuriantly also
produces its full quota of weeds.
I have never found a more profitable
winter ration for an average cow than fifty
pounds of good ensilage, six pounds of fine
middlings, and what clover hay th^ will
consume at noon. I favor the changing of
the grain somewhat to give variety. — John
Gould.
Get a cow with heavy development of
the hindquarter as compared with the lore-
quarter, one that is sharply wedge-shaped
just back of the shoulder, and one that has
a good udder and a good system of rallk
veins,, and in nineteen instances out of
twenty you will have a good m ilk -producing-

J9®- No mock piety, no sanctimony of phrase or
longitude of face on Sundays will suffice. You
must live in the light of God and hold such a
spirit in exercise as you wish to see translated
into your children.— Horace Bushnell.
Mistress (greatly shocked) — -Is it possible,
Mary, you are making bread without hav-
ing washed your hands?
New girl — -Law, what's the difference,
mum? It's brown bread.
A well dressed dude entered a meat shop,
not long since, and asked the clerk if he
had any meat for a puppy, whereupon the
clever butcher gave him a knowing glance,
and smilingly remarked: "Yes, sir, I think
I can accommodate you."
Fond Mother — "Did you succeed in mak-
ing an impression on young Gotrox last
night ?"
Truthful daughter — *'No, mamma. We
occupied separate chairs all the evening."
Rastus — "Ah dreamed ob heaben las'
night."
Zeke — "Am dat so. An' whut did it look
like!"
"A monst'us. l^ig chicken roost in de mid-
dle ob a watermillon patch!"
"Don't you believe the milk I sell you is
pure ?" asked a milkman of a customer who
complained that the fluid looked rather
blue. "I won't tell you what I believe,"
replied the customer, "but I know your
milk makes my mouth water."
Visitor (regarding the baby) : "Oh, what
a dear little duck of a child. He resembles
you both, indeed he does. He has got his
mother's handsome eyes, and his father's
hair." Father (who is bald-headed) : "I
guess he has; I haven't."
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating materiali
for hotbeds; for which select situation protected by a
fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress, grafting exe-
cute. FVuit trees and shrubbery transplant. Plant
early potatoes. Spinach sow, also Radishes, Carrots,
Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cabbage plants from differ-
ent sowings, transplant Lettuce plants. Peas plant —
the extra early is the best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage,
Tomato, Egg Plant, Lettuce, Radish, etc. Don't be
deterred in your operations for fear of loss by change
of temperature, but have at hand the means of pro-
tection against hard weather, or you will be behind
your enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Remember you can cure more balky
horses by kindness than you can by the free
use of the whip.
At the stations where experiments were
made, six pounds of corn meal and two
pounds of bran were considered a standard
winter ration for a cow.
For the potato crop the sulphate appears
to be much superior to the muriate of pot-
ash, promoting both yield and quality in
much higher degree; 300 to 400 pounds of
high grade sulphate of potash furnishea
enough of this element.
A good crop will pay a profit over cost
of production, even when prices are low.
Poor crops don't give much of a return im
good times.
When setting hens, it is a good plan t»
set two or three at a time, and put the
broods under the care of one mother, be-
ing careful to select the best one. In a
short time the others wiU commence laying
again.
For a quick stimulant to a grass crop
growing upon a rich soil, nothing can beat
nitrate of soda, sown broadcast, at the rate
of 150 to 200 pounds per acre, in the spring,
just as the grass is starting to grow and
previous to a gentle rain.
A little pruning every year is the only
right way, and sawing off large limbs is
apt to do mortal injury. The skilled or-
chardist remoA^es the sprouts with the finger
point when they first issue from the bud.

Mamma, is the old hen going away for
the season?" "No, child. Why do you
ask?" "Because papa told my new gover-
ness that he would take her riding every
evening when the old hen went away for
the season."
Customer (in restaurant) — "Look here,
waiter, I've found a button in this salad!"
Waiter— "That's all right, sir; it's a part
of the dressing."

•hristian, it is a question whether you really are
•ne.— J. Hudson Taylor.
A boy came to the door of a lady's house
and asked if she did not wish some berries,
for he had been out all day gathering them.
"Yes," said the lady, "I will take them."
So she took the basket and stepped into
the house, the boy remaining outside,
whistling to some 'canary birds hanging in
Iheir cages on the porch.
"Why don't you come in and see that
measure your berries right?" said the lady,
"how do you know but I may cheat you?"
"I am not afraid," said the boy, "for
you would get the worst of it."
"Get the worst of it?" said the lady,
"what do you mean by that?"
"Why, ma'am," said the boy, "I should
•nly lose my berries, and you would make
yourself a thief. Don't you think you
would be getting the worst of it?"
The boy was right. He who steals or
does anything wrong or mean just to gain
something, burdens himself with a sin
which is worse than all gain. Let this be
borne in mind: The one who does a wrong
to another always gets the worst of it.
The Price of a Kiss. — -The baby 1)oy gets
its for nothing; the young man he steals
it, but the old man has to pay for it, and
the older he is, the higher the price he has
to pay for it.
"He's quite a star as an after dinner
speaker, isn't he?"
"Star? He's a regular moon. He be-
comes brighter the fuller he gets."
What fruit represents newly-wedded
•ouples? New pears. ^
The Bible, the Church, the School, and the
Newspaper. — A Bible and a good newspaper
in every house, a good school in every dis-
trict, and an evangelical church in every
meighborhood, and all appreciated as they
should be, are the sure support of virtue,
morality, civil liberty, and pure religion.
FOR WINTER UNDERWEAR, SHIRTS
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especially the ,large York. Fresh becta
of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale and Rhubarb and
Strawberry set out; plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sett
and early Com; sow Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Ctt-
cumber, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper,
at the close of the month. Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in wann situation.
FARM NOTES.
The small, unsaleable potatoes may be
boiled and fed to calves, or they may be
utilized for poultry.
A teaspoonful of carbolic acid in a gal-
lon of water given regularly for a few days
will aid materially in preventing disease !■
fowls.
A special crop for the use of poultry is
millet seed. The use of such seed for that
purpose increases the number of eggs ani
enables the farmer to get a good price for
his seed by keeping large numbers of hens.
The yield is about 20 bushels per acre, an4
it can be grown on nearly all kinds •€
soils.
Practical Poultry Points.
Introduce new blood among the poultry.
Give the fowls especial care during the
moulting season.
Oil meal will assist and hasten the moult-
ing process.
Do not expect to get good, pure-brei
poultry for six cents per pound.
Keep the henhouse clean and sweet.
Hens should have food and drink at regn-
lar intervals.
Treat your fowls gently and they will be
tame and look to you for kindness.
Save all the droppings for future use.
Give your fowls plenty of room; save
crowding.
Keep the roosts saturated Avith kerosene.
Keep the henhouse free from lice and
the hens also.
Feed salt very sparingly; large amount*
often prove fatal to them.
Save your second crop of clover; cut it up
and feed with a mixture of bran.
Do not forget a supply of fresh water; an
egg is nine-tenths water.

ready trimmed the lamp of good works— Saadi.
"I understand that Judge Brown is break-
ing up housekeeping."
"That can't be. He's yery busy these
days, deciding divorce eases."
"Well, isn't that what I said?'"
Wife (at the bedside of her dying hus-
band) : "Dear, is there any one you wish me
to marry after your death?" Husband:
"Oh, marry the d— 1!" Wife: "No, thank
you.^ One in the family is sufficient."
"What will you take for this boy, mat"
Ma: "Two cents." Bobbie: "I doesn't be-
long to you." Ma: "Who do you belong
to?" Bobbie: "To God; ain't I God's little
lamb?" Ma: "What's me and pa?" Bob-
bie: "You's sheepse."
Minister: "Hello, Pat! What are you
doin'?" Pat: "Building a church out of this
manure." Minister: ^' Where will you find
a minister? The boy studied a second, and
then replied: "If I have enough manure
left I'll make a minister."
Widow Smith — "Yes, poor John's gone
after living with me for 30 years, but he
died liappy and with a smile on his face!"
Deacon Jones — "Ah, yes, of course, just
BO. I feel assured he died in the confident
hope of a better life."
William's table manners were notoriously
bad — 80 bad that he was facetiously accused
of spoiling the manners of a pet coon
chained in the back yard. He gripped his
fork as though afraid it was going to get
away from him, and he used it like a hay-
fork. Reproaches and entreaties were in
Tain. His big sister's pleading, "Please,
William, don't eat like a pig,'* made no im-
pression upon him.
One day William and his bosom friend, a
small neighbor, dined alone, and William
was heard to say in a tone of great satis-
faction, as he planted both elbows on the
table, "Say, Harry^ they's nobody here but
us. Let's eat like hogs and enjoy our-
'■elves."
Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peat, Pota-
toes, Beats, Com, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Cu-
cumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okra,
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper, Lettuce,
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and March
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter me. Sow
Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savoy Cabbage
seed for plamts to be set out in June. Beans may
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head;
draw up earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed last
month should be hoed aud thinned. Transplant
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect
fine heads. Citrom and watermelon plant. SmaD
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminat«
weeds. Additional root crop may now b« sown.
Transplant all kinds of peremnial herbs. Remember
to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOTES.
A mortgage on the farm is harder to dig
out than a sod of wire grass.
Not every egg is sound that seems so;
and a lame horse makes a lame farmer.
Waste leads » to want, want leads to
woe; before you start consider which way
you go.
A weak tence makes a weak farmer;
don't let the noon hour eat up the other
ten.
If you have a jumping cow, fix a pickle
barrel for her to jump into, and she won't
jump long.
Rats in the crib gives the team pain in
the ribs.
Little seeds make tall weeds; but tall
weeds make short com.
Elbow grease and self-denial will make a
farmer rich on trial.
Keep a cat for a rat and the pig will get
fat.
In ease of com the need of potash ap-
pears to be particularly prominent.
It has been suggested that if a few pieces
of onions, or the skins of onions, are placed
in the nests of the hens, the lice will depart.
Fine ground bone, 400 pounds, and mu-
riate of potash, 200 pounds, prove good ap-
plications for all kinds of fruit trees where
there is not enough stable manure.

^S'-Let us not underestimate the value of a
simply good life. Just to be good: to keep life
pure from degrading elements, to make it con-^
stantly helpful in little ways to those who are
touched by it, to keep one's spirit always sweet
and avoid all manner of petty anger and irrita-
bility—that is an ideal as noble as it is difficult.—
Edward H. Griggs.
A story is told of a young lady, a teacher
at a Sunday School, who, one or two Sun-
daya ago, asked a youngster what was mat-
rimony? He mistook the question for pur-
gatory, and promptly answered —
"A place or state of punishment in tiiis
life, where some souls suffer for a time be-
fore they ascend to Heaven."
Teacher — "In the sentence, *Mary milks
the cow,* what is the word cow?"
Johnny — "Cow is a noun, feminine gen-
der, and stands for Mary."
Teacher — "What nonsense! Why does
<;ow stand for Mary?"
Johnny — "So Mary can tend to the milk-
ing"
Peddler — "Want to buy an umbrella
cheap, boss?"
Merchant — ^Noj what's the use? When-
ever I buy an umbrella somebody steals it."
Peddler — "Well, this one ain't worth
stealing."
"My son," said the good old man, "if you
only work hard enough when you undertake
a thing, you're bound to be at the top when
you've finished."
"But suppose I undertake to dig a well?"
Ethel — "She's sorry enough that she mar-
ried him, I'll wager."
Mabel — "The idea! How can you say
that? He thinks her a perfect angel, and
treats her — "
Ethel — "As though she really were one.
He doesn't buy her anything to wear."
"They say Frenchmen are fond of frog's
legs."
'I suppose for the same reason that the
German likes beer."
"Same reason?"
"Certainly. They're both full of hops."
It is right to lore, if we love what is
right.

FARM NOTES.
As a special manure for the tomato crep,
nitrate of soda can not be excelled.
The Southdown is the best mutton, sheep
in the world, and is doing more than all ©f
the other sheep to introduce good muttem
into common use in America.
An exchange tells of a man who took le
the mill 40 bushels of wheat, 20 bushels ©f
oats and 10 of com, and had them grouMl
and mixed for hog feed. He reported very
favorably upon the results.
When skimmed milk Is fed to pigs a small
proportion of bran, ground oats and com
meal will greatly add to its nutritive value
and promote rapid growth. It is also excel-
lent ration'^for a brood sow.
Hogs can live in filth, and eat and drink
filth— -f or a while. But the chances are
that they will not live so very long, and
they certainly will not profit the owner at
all under such conditions.
A man may be able to earn $1 per day in
raising com at fifty cents per bushel, while
corn in the market costs seventy-five cents
per bushel. That shows well on its face,
but could he have spent the same time rais-
ing some other crop that would have netted
him $3 per day, it would be profitable for
him to buy corn. Seasons are limited, and
so are men's powers of production, so let
each farmer employ all his time in produc-
ing what will pay him the greatest doiif
wage, and exchange for what he needs.

ij®= For it is great folly to heap up much wealth
for our children and not to take care concerning
the children for whom we get it. It is as if a
man should take more care about his shoe than
about his foot.- Jeremy Taylor.
One day little four-year old Johnny, upon
hearing a rooster crow, became dreadfully
enraged, and stamping his little foot, cried
out: "Oh, you hush up, you never lay any
eggs." •
A drunken man, sleeping by the roadside,
was obaei-ved by a buzzard, which alighted,
I and began a meal on the supposed carcas by
giving him a pick in the eye. Thus sud-
denly aroused, he saw his assailant, and
said: "Look here, old fellow, you are just
a little too infernal smart."
She: "And do you really love me?"
He: "With all my heart!"
She: "And would you die for me?"
He: "Well — no. You see, mine is an un-
ifying love."
Summer Boarder — "Lack of education is
|a great drawback. Farmer Jones."
Farmer Jones — "Ain't it? Why, there's
len comes out here who are fifty years' old,
id never saw com planted."
A person who had got some little smatter-
ig of zoological lore, said one day to a
lovice that crocodiles were often seen in
iars. "Oh, that's nothing," rejoined the
lovice, "I've often myself seen whales' blub-
[,ber."
Wlien a girl is in doubt as to what man
lueezed her hand in the dark it is be-
luse she hopes it was the one who didn't
it.
Church— "What is the effect of using
Eerosene on the mosquitoes ?"
Flatbush — "O, I guess it makes lightning
igs of them."
What part of a cow have boys the most
id of? The cow-hide.
Why are beds the last place to look for

EVERY LAWYER SHOULD READ PAGE 52.
Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed,
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; bow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots;
transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons
and Squashes may be planted for a successipn, also
Com. As herbs come into flower they should be cut
and put into a shady place to dry. The chief labor
of the garden had better be directed to what is iJ-
re^dy in growth.
FARM NOTES. ^
An exchange says that if a cow gets
choked with an apple or potato, holding up
its head and breaking an egg in its mouth
is a sure cure. The same remedy is recom-
mended for horses under similar cixcHm-
stances.
A cheap, and at the same time, good,
condition powder for horses is made by
mixing three ounces of sulphate of iron and
two ouneed of pulverized sugar. This is
enough for 12 doses, to be given each night
and morning with the feed.
The general experience of farmers is that
ensilage uniformly gives a greater return
than the feeding value allowed by chemists.
This is because, being a succulent food, it
allows a greater percentage of the fat in the
milk to enter into the butter globules.
Experiments with tomatoes show that
frequent handling makes plants stocky;.
tliat early setting is advisable; that trim-
ming the plants is an effective method of
hastening n.aturity and increasing yield..
Do « not allow any nails, pins, or other ob-
ject? of similar nature to project from tha
walls of the stable or fences surrounding
the yard where horse stock is kept. Many
an eye has been lost through neglect to
observe this precaution.
The Texas Farm and Ranch says that
pigs should not be fed on sour milk. This
is indicated by recent experiments, and
confirmed by the experience of some veteran
swine men. Sour milk has a tendency to
bring on scours, on account of the inabiufcj
of the young stomachs to digest it, for it
rapidly curdles and becomes consolidated
into hard lumps.

Closefist — "If you'rfe after notoriety, why

Many a man who is in the swim feels
like a fish out of water.
In a certain community a lawyer died
who was a most popular and worthy man,
and among other virtues inscribed upon his
tomb was this: *'A lawyer, and an honest
ran."
Some years afterwards a farmers' con-
Tention was held in the town, and one of
the delegates, of a sentimental turn, in
rambling among the tombs, was struck with
the inscription: "A lawyer, and an honest
man."
He was lost in thought, and when run
upon by a fellow farmer, who, noticing his
abstraction, asked if he had found the grave
of a dear friend or relative, said: —
"No; but I was wondering why they
came to bury these two feUows in the
same grave."
"Mamma," said Bennie, as tli^re came a
brief pause in the conversation on the part
of the callers, "isn't it time for you to ask
me what I learned at the kindergarten to-
day? If you don't do it pretty soon I'll
forget what you told me to say."
Infant, to sister's beau: "George, did you
sit on any pins lately?" Young man: "No,
why?" Infant: "Because Susie said that
she was on pins all the time you stayed, and
I was behind the sofa the other night when
you took her seat and held her on your
knee."
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper Plants,
Cauliflower and ' Brocoll. Sow Carrots and Parsnipi
if needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Tumipi
may be sown; ttransplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinach
may be sown towards the last of the month. Irish
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant B^ms;
^ow^Cabbage seed for Collards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; sow Tumip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for winter use as they come into
flower.
FARM NOTES.
The farmer who increases the size of
his farm by buying more land, and put-
ting a mortgage on the property, will have
the interest added to his expenses without
any increase in the profits.
The rule for mating turkeys is one male
for abo'dt ten females. The stock is greatly
improved if the male turkey is two years
old and both he and the females are of large
size.
To cause grape vines to grow most vig-
orously throw a few bones into the hole
when planting out. Oyster shells are also
good for the same purpose, and may be
mixed with the bones to advantage.
A few inches of dry earth over a pile
of fermenting manure will effectually pre-
vent the loss of ammonia. This is a much
more common i-ause of loss where manure
is piled than in leaching.
Try the experiment of watering one row
of strawberries. Use plenty of fertilizer
and cultivate well. It will cost but little
to experiment with one row. Keep an ac-
count of the number of quarts of berries ob-
tained, cost of all expenses, and then com-
pare the result with a row not so treated.
Peas are rapidly coming Into favor as a
food for milch cows, especially in the win-
ter production of milk, as they are easily
grown, and are worth twice and a half
their weight in bran. Sow two and a
quarter bushels per acre.

"He kissed me, and I told him to tell no
one."
"And what did he do?"
''Why, it wasn't two minutes before he
repeated it."
"Give the devil his due, my dear," he
-said.
"Well," replied the little wife, "It's hard
to give you up, John, but — the will of
Providence be done!"
Mrs. Gayboy (severely) — "What time did
you get home last night?"
Gayboy (cautiously) — "Oh, a little after
dark."
"After dark? Why, it was daylight
when you came in."
"Well, isn't that after dark!"
Why are hens like bookkeepers? They

I'd like to kiss those red lips." Featherly:
«I often do that." "Engaged?" "No." "In-
troduce me, then?" Very well, come up to

Darrington, allow me — my wife, Mrs.
Featherly."
An Irishman and a Yankee were riding
•together past a gallows. Said the Yankee
to Pat: "If I don't make too free, give that
gallows its due, and where would you be?"
"Och, brother," says Pat, "that's aisily
known, I'd be riding to town be meself all
alone."
Scene: Clara at piano; Mr. Slapdash turn-
ing music. Bobby, aged four: "Say, Mr.
Slapdash, did you see an ape in here when
you came in?" Slapdash: "Why, no, Bobby;
why?" Bobby: "Nothing; only sister Clara
said when you came in, 'There's that ape in
the parlor again.*" Tableau.
Garden calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans; prepare ground for TumipB,
Spinach, Shallots, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Elarly Dwarf and Pl»t
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Collard seed, earth up (Jelery. Broccoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stand winter. Carrots sow. Squashes
^ow. Rata Baga sow. Turnips for table use at in-
^erva's. Potatoes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill
for heading:; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radiahet
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for win-
rer supply, but as the seed vegetate with difficulty
at this season, repeat until successful; cut sage and
other herbs, gainer seed and prepare ground for lat«
crops. t
FARM NOTES.
The standard for a good cow is; said to
be 600 gallons of milk a year, and of thia
there should be 10 per cent of cream.
How many of us must acknowledge that
we farm year in and year out without ever
knowing the cost of a single crop, a gallon
of milk, a pound of butter or live stock,
and we wonder why we don't make money.
Sow millet, buckwheat or Hungariaa
grass on wheat land as soon as the crop ia
harvested (if the land is not also in clover)
and plow the green crop under, using lime
in connection with the green manure.
It is not generally known among farmers
that the same food that makes a pound
of dressed beef would make a poimd of
butter, says an exchange. At the present
price of cattle, the farmer gets about fire
cents a pound for his dressed beef, while
butter is worth thirty cents.
The harness needs cleaning and oiling aa
frequently as the wagon, but such work is
usually neglected. Clean collars prevent
sores and rubbing of the shoulders, and en-
able the horses to work with greater ease
and comfort. *
Nitrate of soda is one of the most valu-
able of nitrogenous manures. It is per-
fectly soluble and immediately available for
the nourishment of the plant. It goes rap-
idly down to the subsoil, and improves ita
texture.

EVERY BUSINESS MAN
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the pea vines and stick
as .they advance. It is not too late to, plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month* Early York
and large York cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be lown; toward! the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoii; sow TumipB.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from tirae
to time Crlery plants ne^d tillage. Lettuce may
be transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
There is not very much difference in the
cost of feeding a cow that makes 150 poirnds
of butter in a year, and one making double
as much.
It would not be a bad idea to breed a
mare or two at this time. A foal next fall
from a good dam and a good sirie will
doubtless be good property.
If we sell $200 worth of wheat we sell
$48 worth of plant food from the soil. If
we sell a horse worth $200, we sell $7 worth
of fertility; while if we sell $200 worth of
butter, we sell less than $1 worth of plant
food. These figures are well worthy the
attention of the agriculturist in determin-
ing what he shall grow for market.
The dwarf Lima beans, though they are
smaller in size of seed than the pole kinds,
are much earlier, and are also much surer
under adverse conditions of rain or drought,
as well as requiring no poles. They are a
valuable acquisition to the list of garden
crops.
There is a belief that prevails among
many farmers that many green manures
are sometimes injurious to crops, causing the
soil to turn sour instead of making it mellow
* and light. This can only happen when the
soil is full of stagnant water. A dressing
of quicklime sown on the field after any
green manure has been plowed under
greatly adds to its effectiveness. — American
Cultivator.

Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant;
small bulb onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress; Strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and frost;
collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and expose
them to the winds and air on a dry bench before
they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Orchard management — Starvation is
probably the foremost cause of the com-
plaint that tree fruits do not pay. Plenty
of manure brings plenty of good fruit. Poor
fruit never pays.
Do not be afraid of overdoing the poul-
try business, for eggs are imported into this
country every year, and neither the egg nor
poultry market has ever been known to ba
glutted.
Instead of having the rack over the
horse's head, thus compelling the animal to
reach upward for the hay, the rack should
be down on the floor, where the horse cam
eat its food in a more natural position.
Shelter pays better than food in propor-
tion to cost. A shed that protects the ani-
mals in winter against the cold wind les-
sens the loss of warmth from the bodies
and reduces the amount of food that would
otherwipe be required.
Straw is an excellent covering for straw-
berries, and may be held in place by lay-
ing com stalks on the straw. Do not ap-
ply the straw much until the ground is
frozen, and remove it in the spring after the
ground is rid of frost.
The occupation of farming has at least
three sides. The business side and the sci-
entific side are given considerable attention
at the schools of training, but the mechani-
cal side has been comparatively neglected.
Everybody knows that a modern farm can
not be carried on without some knowledge
of practical mechanics, and the need of such
acquirements increases with every new la-
bor-saving device.

J9S="A1! my happi ness I owe to the central effort
that my father and mother made to make home
the happiest place on earth. — Edward Everett
Hale.
'*Why do you call that raUway you have
been selling stock for the Meridian road?'*
"Because," answered the elusive financier,
"it is an imaginary line."
"Woman," roared Bender at breakfast,
"what right have you to insinuate I came
i home intoxicated last night?"
"Y — you tried to light your cigar com-
ing up the lawn," sobbed Mrs. Bender.
"Well, madam, is there anything extra-
ordinary in a gentleman lighting Ma cigar
in the lawn?"
"You — you tried to light it with a light-
ning bug."
"Mama," asked little Florence, the only
sister of five older brothers, "when am T
," going to be a boy?"
"Why, never, dear. You are mamma's
little girl."
"Ain't I ever going to be a boy?"
"No, dear; girls can't be boys."
"Willie 'Jones was a girl, and now he's a
boy."
"You don't want to be a boy. What
should we do without our little girl?"
"Can't God make me a boy?"
"No; God will never make you a boy." -
Florence walked away thoughtfully, and
that night, when she said her prayer, she
added this petition: "If you can't make me
a boy, then make me a billy-goat."
"Why, Johnny, how much you look like
your father!" remarked a visitor to a
I small four-year-old." "Yes'm," answered
Johnny, with an air of resignation, "that's
what everybody says, but I can't help it."
"Don't you believe the milk I sell you i»
pure?" asked a milkman of a customer who
complained that the fluid looked rather
blue. "I won't tell you what I believe,"
replied the customer, "but I know your
mUk makes my mouth water."
To Make a Broil.— Leave a letter from
one of your old sweethearts where your
wife can find it.
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rowa against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
leaves of the cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery
earth up finally. Onions in store examine. T,urmp8
and Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a good
time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting evergreens.
FARM NOTES.
The man who loves country life better
than town life, everything else being equal,
will succeed the best.
Working over the manure in the heap is a
practice that should be made general on all
farms. The manure requires overhauling
and such work pays.
Crimson clover may be seeded in August
and September. As it is better to have the
land covered in winter than to leave it bar©
use plenty of seed on well-prepared land in
order to endeavor to secure a good "catch."
The Southern practice of gathering leay
from the com stalks and curing them for
blade fodder and leaving the ears on the
stalks until husking time, is a good and
profitable one.
A good ration for a calf three to six
months old, weighing two hundred pounds, if
fed under proper conditions, would be as fol-
lows: Ten pounds of skim milk, one poimd
of oats or bran, one of com meal and all the
clover hay calves will eat up clean.
It is the medium weight hog that brings
the highest price. After the hog reaches a
certain stage the cost of each additional
pound is increased.
No kind of land should remain idle. It
can be made to produce some kind of crop,
or it can be improved in fertility in some
manner. If useless for crops let it be given
up to sheep. If this cannot be done plow
it, and use lime on it; so as to enable it to
beLonie fit for cultivation in the future.

Eiram Carsou.
A little boy, whose sprained wrist had
been relieved by bathing in whiskey, sur-
prised his mother by asMng "if papa had a
jprained throat?"
A little fellow who wore striped stock-
ings was asked why he made barber-poles
Bf his legs. His pert reply was, "Well,
lin't I a Uttle shaver?"
"My dear," said a wife to her husband,
*we haven't chairs enough for our com-
pany." "Plenty of chairs, my dear, but too
much company," responded the husband.
Johnny was telling his ma how he was
going to dress and show off when he was a
man. His ma asked: "Johnny, how do you
Bxpect to get your living when you get to
be a man?" "Well," said Johnny, "I'll get
married and live with my wife's pa."*
A little four-year-old remarked to her
mamma on going to bed: "I am not afraid
)f the dark." "No, of course you are not,"
replied her mamma, "for it can't hurt you."
*But, mamma, I was a little afraid once
when I went into the pantry in the dark to
yet a cooky." "What were you afraid of?"
isked her mamma. "I was afraid I couldn't
Snd the cookies."
Little Miss — Papa^, can I eat a piece more
nirrant tart, please?
Papa — No, my child; I have already said
that you had sufficient.
Little Miss — ^Well, papa, then why do we
JO often sing that favorite hymn of yours,
Behere it says, "Feed me till I want no
more?" She had the tart.
"Mother, why does pa call you honey?"
*Because, my dear, he loves me." "No,
ma, that isn't it." "What is it, then?"
*I know." "Well, what is it?" "Why, it's
jecause you have so much comb in your
lead, that's why."
Physician — Your husband is quite deliri-
)us and seems utterly out of his mind.
3as he recognized anyone to-day?
Wife—Oh, yes. He called me a dragon
ihis morning, and he constantly speaks of
ihe governess as an angel.
EVERY BUSINESS MAN
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open the ground may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attend to. Radish and Salad sow
Ih frames, also Lettuce. Transplanting trees maj
■till be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc. Trant-
pl£.-t all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown in Oc-
tober will be fit to put out. Sow large York to head
in January and February. Small Onions may still b«
planted. Earth up Celery in dry weather. Thin
Spinach as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
The Jersey is the best butter cow in th«
world.
The Merino crossed with the Southdow*
makes a superb all-purpose I sheep, profit-
able both for wool and mutton.
Every unkind treatment to the cow
poisons the milk — even talking unkindly to
her. I * }
Butter, chickens, and eggs, are always
sold for cash, and they enable the farmer to
receive daily or weekly returns. He does
not have to wait for harvest time with audi
products.
When a horse refuses his food it is a sure
indication that something is wrong. It is
better, however, to delay giving any kind of
medicine until a few hours have passed, un-
less it is a case of emergency, as the cause
may be due to some slight ailment that will
soon correct itself.
All wide-awake farmers should, and do,
keep their eyes open, and when gathering
the crops, if they find a few heads of grain
that appear to be different from the main
crop in color, time of ripening or other im-
portant characteristic, will save them, and
test them the following season.
When pigs are fed on grain alone it is
more profitable to feed a mixture than to
feed com or com meal alone. At the Wis-
consin Station, in a test where shorts, bran,
and com meal were compared with com
meal alone, the lot fed shorts, bran, and
com meal made a far more rapid and eco-
nomical growth, had stronger bones and a
larger proportion of lean pork.

TEETHINA
Atlanta, Ga., November 19, 1902.
We have handled Dr. Moffet's TEETHINA (Teething Powders) ever since
its first introduction to the public and trade as a Proprietary Medicine, and
our trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until our orders now
amount to two or three hundred grossr per year, wMich is a very strong evidence
of its merit and the satisfaction it is giving to the mothers of the country, for
they say that nothing so effectually counteracts ihe effects of the summer's hot
sun or overcomes so quickly the troubles incident to teething.
THE LAMAR & FRANKLIN DRUG CO.,
Wholesale Druggists.
Office of D. H. Hardy, Sec. op State,
Austin, Tex., November 21, 1902.
I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for my
teething children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every succeeding
day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened upon TEETHINA
and began at once administering it to him, and his improvement was marked in
24 hours, and from that day on he recuperated. I have constantly kept it and
used it since with my children, and have taken great pleasure in sounding its
praises to all mothers of young children. I found it invaluable even after the
teething period was passed. Mrs. D. H. HARDY.
INDIAN WEED
Indian Weed gives tone to and builds up the prostrated
nervous and muscular systems, and makes regular and
healthy all the natural functions of the female organism.
St. Louis, Mo., Post-Dispatch says : *' Indian women are proverbially healthy
and strong, often marching for days with their babies upon their backs. In
fact, they frequently go the day before and after confinement, with their tribes,
upon the march. These women acquire this great strength and power of en-
durance by using a weed that grows in their locality, out of which a medicine
is now being made, and kept by the druggists under the name of INDIAN
WEED (Female Medicine)."

masters are instructed to refuse to issue in
one day to the same remitter, and in favor
of the same payee, on any one post office of
the fourth class, money orders amounting in
the aggregate to more than $300, as such
office might not have funds sufficient for
immediate payment of any large amount.
All permissible mail matter for Canada,
Mexico, and our island possessions, passes
at the same rate as in the United States,
except that the fourth- class matter (other
than bona fide trade samples) must be sent
by Parcel Post of Mexico.

delivery stamp, in addition to the regular
postage, will entitle all mailable matter to

Office Department after being petitioned for
by a hundred or more patrons of the route,
asked for and endorsed by the Congressman
from the district. The salary of the carrier
is. $600. Ea4?h carrier is required to furnish
a bonded substitute. All carriers in the
State of North Carolina are paid from the
Raleigh Post Office.
INSECTIVOROUS BIRDS.
We have friendly and unfriendly birds,
as we have desirable and undesirable in-
sects. Those birds which are named be-
low have sterling virtues placed to their
credit, but some of them may also have a
weakness for the destroying of friendly lit-
tle insect parasites. But perfection must
not be looked for, and we must give them
credit for the good offices performed of
which we have a knowledge.
The following birds are to be classed
among the most helpful kinds in the gen-
eral warfare against insects: Robins — cut
and earth worms; swallows, night hawks,
and purple martins — moth catchers; pe-
wees — striped cucumber bugs; wood thrush-
es and wrens — cut worms; cat birds — ^tent
caterpillar; meadow larks, woodpeckers,
and crows — -wireworms; blue coated bunt-
ings— can^ker worms; black red- winged birds,
jays, doves, pigeons, and chippies — ^straw-
berry pests; quail — chinch bugs, locusts;
whip-poor-wills' — moths; hawks, all night
birds, owls, etc., tanagers, and black winged
summer red birds — curculios. There may
also be mentioned the following insect pest
destroyers: Nutcrackers, fly-catchers, chim-
ney, swifts indigo birds, chipping and song
sparrows, black birds, mocking birds, aJid
orchard orioles.

[Charlotte, N. C, June 8, 1903.
Rev. Jno. E. White, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Brother :— About a year ago I wrote to you
making inquiry as to wtiether Dr. B. M. Woolley,
of Atlanta, was a reliable man. In answer to my
letter you wrote me the following lines :
" I know Dr. Woolley well and am informed
about his work here. He is thoroughly reliable,
and one of the best men in Atlanta. You can
trust him."
Since then I have had dealings with Dr. Woolley
and have found every word you said not ou4y true
but of the greatest value to me. Permit me to
thank you sincerely for commending him to me.
I have used his treatment, and to my surprise, as
well as great joy, I have been restored to perfect
health. I shall heartily commend him to any one.
With kind regards, I am,
Yours truly,
J. M. BAUGHAM. i

I addressed to Rev. John E. White, D. D., in any

HEALTH AND HYGIENE.
^—A large trunk, a good cheat, a generoiii
framework to hold the heart, lungi and di-
gestive organs, greatly promote longevity
and are usually accompanied by a clear,
rosy skin, plenty of blood in the body wid a
good supply of vital force.
— Insufficient mastication and food that
disagrees and only tickles the palate should
be avoided.
— No one neglects bodily exercise to any
degree without paving the way for futuro
trouble.
— A proper scheme for healthy living
would involve the training of all the imwn-
bers of the body.
Muscles unused -become smaller in size,
flabby and weak, use hardens, strengthens
and makes them more responsive to the
will.
— A quick person always has the muacles
in good trim.
— Ready obedience of muscles to will is
a very important thing.
— Exercise does more than strengthen and
harden muscles. A microscopic examination
shows muscles constantly used are the more
healthy.
— The value of a bodily organ depends
upon its use. The oftener it is disintegrated
by action and rebuilt by the proper puttinf
together of the food stuffs from the diges-
tive (^gans, the more times it is remade, the
better it is.
— The use of the muscles exerts a notable
influence upon circulation.
—Under proper muscular exercise the
heart drives the blood in increased volume,
not only through the muscles concerned, but
through all parts of the body, and the oxy-
gen absorbed by the lungs is conveyed
through the system more thoroughly, with
better elimination of waste materials.
— Every contraction of a muscle drives
the blood out of that muscle by squeezing
the vessels, which, as a network, pierce it,
and the muscle is thus emptied. When re-
laxed again the blood is driven into the
muscle and again squeezed out on the way
to the heart; so that every muscular action
helps the heart.
— In a man at rest the heart does practi-
cally all the work; when the man works the
muscles aid largely in the blood-pumping
process.
— ^An over- developed heart will be of no
inconvenience if the individual keeps up a
normal amount of bodily exercise.
— A man walking four miles an hour takes
in flve times as much oxygen as when at
rest.

WATER DRINKING.
To keep in health a person should drink
from two to four quarts. of water each day.
The system requires to be cleansed and its
organs flooded with water. Besides its
cleansing efficacy, water absorbs effete mat-
ter and caTries it through the system. The
purer the water the greater the power of
absorption. Some diseases of the kidneys
have been known to yield to generous drink-
ing of pure spring water. Beer, tonics or
alcoholic drinks can not take the place of
pure water. In many cases kidney and liver
troubles have been traced to the use of beer
or alcoholic drinks. It has been ascertained
by the medical experts that rheumatism,
local heart trouble, indigestion, painful
swellings, eruptions, liver and kidney dis-
orders are caused mainly by general or
local impeded circulation. The best tonie
and blood purifier is Nature's own medium
— pure spring water.
. FAT AND ANTI-FAT.
Human fat is composed of seventy-nine
per cent carbon, a little over eleven per cent
hydrogen and a little over nine per cent oxy-
gen. Of course this fat can not be accumu-
lated unless its ingredients are taken into
the body in food. The food which has %
preponderance of these ingredients can be
worked off by open-air exercise, because the
oxygen of the air uniting with the carbon
goes out of the lungs in the form of car-
bonic acid gas and relieves the system of
so much fat. This is the reason why peo-
ple who lead an open-air life, or live in the
country or on mountains, and breathe a
great deal of fresh air, are less likely to be
corpulent than business men, shopkeepers
and others who are habitually in an atmos-
phere with less oxygen, and who take less
exercise. Open-air respiration is one of the
best ways to work off fat.

The Importance and Economy of the Turnip
Cro^p.
There is no crop that the farmer puts into
the ground that pays better than the tur-
nip. Nor is there any other stock feed that
can be produced in such great abundance, at
such little cost, with such little exertion
and in so short a time as this root crop.
We ask any farmer to name any other crop,
which in a few weeks after sowing, will give
him a yield of from ten to thirty tons per
acre of fresh succulent food for his stock
with so little expense. It was the remark
of England's greatest politicial economist
that "Great Britain could better afford to
lose her navy than her turnip crop;" and we
might say that the farmer who keeps stock
could better afford to lose any other crop
than this. All kinds of stock relish turnips
and thrive upon them when in combination
with hay or chops, and in a higher degree
than any other root crop, hence their uni-
versal popularity in all stock-raising com-
munities. Furthermore, all experience
proves that hogs, sheep, cattle, and even
horses, are healthier and more vigorous
when plentifully fed on a mixed feed of
succulent and farinaceous food than on fari-
naceous food alone. As a supplement crop,
it is put in at a time when the hurrying
season is over, and as long as it lasts it
lengthens out the com, oats and hay, a
most important matter with those who do
not raise a full supply of these crops.
Preparations for the crop to be sown in
August should be made early, and for a
variety of superior excellence and specially
adapted to the Southern climate by virtue
of its origin, the "Southern Prize Turnip"
is from the testimony we have beyond all
question the best kind of plant for a cer-
tain and large crop, and of superior quality.
After thorough trial for many years, the
following points of excellence are claimed
for it, viz: It has no equal for root or
salad; it stands extreme heat and cold; it
is superior to the Northern turnip; they do
not pith or become spongy as other turnips;
it produces salatd two weeks earlier than
any other turnip; insects do not injure this
as they do other varieties ; it produces more
salad than any other turnip; it produces a
larger root than any other turnip; it is the
best turnip for winter use in the market;
for general farm market purposes it ha« mo
equal in the South.
Southern Prize Turnip
HAS STOOD THE TEST FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP is an entirely new variety, ajid the 'credit of its
origination belongs to North Carolina.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE is a hybrid, and originated many years ago by a horticul-
turist of Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe and Seven Top,
or salad turnip. The result is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, and whidi
for ftize, flesh, flavor, hardness and salad, is without an equal. In fact, it was found so
•uperior to all other varieties ,and so well adapted to our Southern climate, that the seed
sold, when first introduced, at the extraordinary rate of FIFTY DOLLARS PER POUND,
and was called the Fifty Dollar Turnip.
Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is ont affected by insects. Nor
does it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keeps sound, sweet and juicy.
It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and two
.weeks earlier than any other variety. It sands extreme heat or cold. As to production,
they are very prolific, yielding large crops ; and as to size, they have measured twenty-mn«
inches in circumference. As a farmer expressed it, "they are just large enough."
/^"AU seed deteriorate unless kept up to their original standard. The seed from yew
to year have been kept up to their original purity and excellence, and we offer the Genu-
ine* Southern Prize Turnip Seed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 1902. They are worth
double any other variety. These seed are grown specially for us for over twenty years
by an experienced horticulturist, who succeeded the originator of the seed, and who grows
them upon the same farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered.
PRICES OF SEED. — One pound, postpaid, 75 cents; half pound, postpaid, 40 cent*;

THE FARM.
— The most dreadful thing to put on a
farm is a mortgage.
— ^The farm is the last place in the world
where slovenness pays.
— Southern farmers have improved their
methods of agriculture very decidedly in
the last ten years.
— Make farm work attractive to the
young and they will not seek other occupa-
tions.
— Small farms with good cultivation
yield a better revenue than great estates
illy cultivated. It may perhaps be better
put by saying that every farm, large or
small, should possess a good farmer.
— A writer truly says that there is no
need to go beyond the farm yards and
stables to estimate the condition of the
farm or to judge of the success of the
owner.

AUDUBON SOCIETY OF NORTH CARO-
LINA.

1903, the Audubon Society of North Caro-
lina was incorporated. The object of the
act is to provide for the preservation of

rigid enforcement of the game laws of the
State. Under the act the following only are

THE DIFFERENT HISTORICAL YEARS.
The Egyptians, it is said, were the iirst
who fixed the length of the year. The llo-
man year was introduced by Romuluj 7 33
B. C; and it was corrected by Numa 713 B.
C, and again by Julius Caesar, 45 B. 0. See
Calendar. The solar or astronomical year
was found to comprise 3G5 diys, 5 hours,
48 minutes, 51 seconds and G decimals, 265
B. C. The siderial year, or return of the
same star, is 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes,
and 11 seconds. A considerable variation
prevailed generally among the nations of
antiquity, and still partially prevails, with
regard to the commencement of the year.
The Jews dated the beginning of the sacred
rear in the month of March; the Athenian^
m the month of June; the Macedonians on
the 24th Sept.; the Christians of Egypt
and Ethiopia on the 29th or 30th of Aug.;
and the Persians and Armenians on the
11th of that month. Nearly all the nations
of the Christian world now commence the
year on the 1st of January. Charles IX. of
France, in 1654, published an arret, the. last
article of which ordered tlie year for the
time to come to be constantly and univer-
sally begun, and written on and from Jan-
uary 1.
Lunar Year. — This is the space of time
which comprehends twelve lunar months, or
454 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, and wa» in
use among the Chaldeans, Persians, and an-
cient Jews. Once in every three years was
added another lunar month, so as to make
the solar and lunar year nearly agree. But
though the months were lunar, the year was
solar; that is, the first month was of thirty
days, and the second of twenty-nine, and so
alternately; and the month added trienni-
ally was called the second Adar. The JeVs
afterwards followed the Roman manner of
computation.
Year of Our Lord. — The first sovereign
who adopted this distraction was Charl«s
III., Emperor of Germany; he added "In the
year of our Lord" to his reign, A D. 879. It
was followed by the French kings, and
afterwards by the English; and is the mod*
of designating the year •from the birth .of
the Redeemer in all Christian countries.
Platonic Year.— The doctrine of the Pla-
tonic year was beK^ved among the Chal-
deans, and in the earliest ages. It is that
space of time at the end whereof all the
planets are to return to the same point
from whence they set out, a,nd have the
same aspects and configurations one upon,
another. Some affirmi iJiis return to be ra
15,000 common years, others ^in 36,000. The
ancient heathens were of opinion, that when
this period was completed, the world would
be renewed again, and the departed souls
re-enter their bodies and go through a sec-
ond course of being.
Sabbatical Year. — This was every seventh
year, among the Jews. In this year the
people were enjoined Iby the law to let the
ground lie fallow and have rest. Every
seventh Sabbatical year, or every forty-
ninth year, was called the Jubilee Year,
when was joy and Rejoicing; all debts were
forgiven and slaves set at liberty, and it
was usual to return to the original families
all estates and property that had been sold
or mortgaged.
Siberian Year. — The year in the northern
regions of Siberia and Lapland, is described
in the following calendar, as given by a le-
cent traveler:
June 23, snow melts.
July 1, snow gone.
July 9, field quite green.
July 17, plants at full growth.
July 25, plants in flower.
August 2, fruits ripe.
August 10, plants shed their seed.
August 18, snow.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
-A man can not believe in Grod in any
e sense who does not believe in himaeit,
I just in proportion to his insight into
intrinsic beauty and real value of his
II soul will be the beauty and loftiness
his idea of God.-— J. F. Button.
-The genius of hospitality is not so
ch in making people meet, but in helping
m to part — on good terms. Remember
.t! — John Oliver Hobbes.
—Let every man sweep the snow from
ore hift own door and not busy himself
>ut the frost of his neighbor's tiles. —
inese Proverb.
-In great sorrows it is doubtless a
at consolation to completely relinquish
will to God's will. Personal fat©
I suffering is thus invested with the
jesty and sublimity of eternal purpose,
I every- day life adquiras a dignity of
loftiest character.
Do not stand in terror before sin. Fear
>nly when you yield to its claim that it
nore powerful than righteousness. When
1 yield to the insidious thouglit in your
il that sin has any right to lift up its
A in the presence of righteousness than
r it. Then, but not. when you face it;
tot when you feel God behind you, or
her God in you. — Percy Browne.
—The highest of character is his who is
ready to pardon the moral errors of man-
kiud as if he were every day guilty of th*
same himself, and at the same time as cau-
tious of committing a fault as if he ntr&c
forgave one. — Pliny the Younger.
— There's a saying that a man who cam
live quite happily alone must be one of two
things — an angel or a demon. — Eden Phil-
potts.
— 'Throughout the entire word of God,
we are taught the sacred duty of being
happy. Be happy, cheerful, rejoiceful as
we can J we can not go beyond the spirit of
the Gospel. — ^Dean Stanley.
— As Columbus could, when necessity de-
manded, lock up his charts and sail by the
stars, so there are times when logic can be
dispensed with, and the soul find its way by
some heavenly guide. — Reed Stuart.
— "To-morrow can not furnish an op-
portunity for the duty you should have
done to-day."
— When things happen in spite of us, we
may know it is the Lord's doing. That is
the comfort, the certainty.— Adeline D. T.
Whitney.
— Those who labor with their minds gov-
ern others. Those who labor with their
strength are governed by others.

— Many a fanner's boy goes into some
ity, and struggles along until middle life,
rith nothing to show for his labor, except
hat he has thoroughly learned that a haLf-
tarved lawyer is less t6 be envied than a
rell-fed farmer.
— Ground that has been thoroughly Bub-
oiled to the depth of twelve inches, will
bsorb four inches of water. This is more
han usually falls at one time, and thus
he hill sides seldom wash away which
lave been deeply plowed, and the level
Bind shows no surface water.
— Keep a steady ef^ upon the compost
eap. Make it grow all through the year.
iCt leaves, muck, and sod — anything that
nil add to fertility — be gathered in abun-
Lanocj and when fully composted, feed
your land with it, and it will repay your
labor an hundred fold,
— 'In ancient times the sacred plow em-
ployed the kings, and awful fathers of
mankind.
— In the age of acorns, antecedents to
Ceres and the royal plowman Tripolemus,
a single barly-com had been of more value
to mankind than all the diamonds that
glowed in mines of India.
— An English farmer recently remarked
that he "fed his land before it was hungry,
rested it before it was weary, and weeded
it before it was foul." We hare ■eldora, if
ever, seen so much agricultural wisdom
condensed into a single sentence.

that puts, men to the test.
Aycock's majority, 60, 354.

though it be hut a cottage, makes that
house both a castle and a palace.

TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.

MAXIMS
FROM POOR
ALMANAC.
RICHARD'S
Who dainties love, shall beggars prore.
Women and wine, game and deceit.
Make the wealth small and the wants great.
Many estates are spent in the getting,
Since women for tea* forsook spinning and
knitting.
And men for punch forsook hewing and
spliting.
Great estates may venture more,
But little boats should keep near shore.
Fond pride of (iress is, sure, a very curse;
Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse.
Get what you can, and what you get hold;
'Tis the stone that will turn all your lead
into gold.
For age and want save while you may,
No morning sun lasts a whole day.
Early to bed and early to rise.
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
He that by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.
Then plough deep while sluggards sleep.
And you shall have com to sell and to
keep.
Now I have a sheep and a cow,
Everybody bids me good morrow.
I never saw an oft-removed tree
Nor yet an oft-removed family
That throve so well as those that settled
be.
What is a butterfly? At best
He's but a caterpiUar drest,
The gaudy fop's his picture just.

IS THIS YOUR BIRTH MONTH?
Those who claim as a birthday one of
the days that lie between the 22d ©f July
and the 22d of August are »aid to be bom
under the zodiacal sign — Leo, whieh gov-
erns the heart and the blood of life.
People born under this sign are kini-
hearted, generous and sympathetic and
magnetic. They make good nurses when
in full sympathy with the patient. Thfty
are emotional, intuitive and are generally
able by means of this power to escape the
consequences of their actions. Leo people
are fine conversationalists, excelling in re-
partee, and are the best of story- tellera.
They always make a point and always see
the point.
Leo people have a great love fer their
own, and will yield to advice in the man-
agement of their children.
Leo women who have been looked upoH
as angels in the neighborhood will some-
times show an astonishing ferocity when
their children are hurt or reproved. Thease
people have great natural intuition. They
are right in their estimates of people niii©
times out of ten.

They would rather plaa than work and
are by no means fond of details. They
are sometime very lazy, loving to bask in
the sun like cat», or doze in the chimney
oorner. They are fond of creature and home
comforts. The men are good marketmen
and have real genius in catering for the
table. The women have the same talent in
selecting and among them are found the
best kouse-wives. Many of these people
are tricky, cunning and chronic borrowers.
They are hot-headed, easily attracted by
the opposite sex and are not noted for con-
stancy. When these faults are overcome
there are no stronger, better or more help-
ful people among the sign of the zodiac.
Their best discipline comes from suffering,
loss and sickness through which they learn
wisdom.
A Leo woman should marry a man bom
in Sagittarius (November 22 to December
21), or in Aries (March 21 to April 19). J
This sign is governed by the sun and the
gems are ruby and diamond.
The astral colors are red and green.

A LAND OF FRUIT, MILK AND HONEY.
Here is what a Northern man, Hon. W.
D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, said in a speech
about North Carolina, on his return home
from a Southern tour:
"My friends. North Carolina is the most
beautiful and richest portion of God's earth
upon which my feet have ever rested. You
know that she (North Carolina) produces cot-
ton, rice, indigo, tar, pitch, turpentine and
superior timber. You know that her soil and
climate are adapted to the cereals, wheat,
com, rye, buckwheat and oats, but you
probably do not know that the State, long
known as the Rip Van Winkle of the Un-
ion, * * * is the land of wine and
honey, the apple and peach, the fig and pom-
granate, all of which I saw prospering in
the open field and under the most artless
culture. Its native wines made the fortune
of Longworth, who carried cuttings thence.
The wine-producing vineyards of western
Pennsylvania and around the borders and
on the islands of Lake Erie, and those scat-
tered through Missouri, are from cuttings
taken from the native vines of North Caro-
lina.

HOW TO FORETELL THE WEATHER.
A Rising Barometer.
A rapid rise indicates unsettled weather.
A gradual rise indicates settled weather.
A rise with dry air and eold increasing
in Summer indicates wind from the north-
ward; and if rain has fallen, better weather
may be expected.
A rise with moist air and a low tem-
perature indicates wind and rain from the
northward.
A rise with southerly winds indicates fine
weather.
/ A Steady Barometer.
With dry air and seasonable temperature
indicates a continuance of very fine weather.
A Falliug Barometer.
A rapid fall indicates stormy weather.
A rapid fall with westerly wind indicates
stormy weather from the northward.
A fall with a northerly wind indicates
storm, with rain and hail in summer, and
SHOW in winter.
A fall with increased moisture in the air,
FOR 30 YEARS THE BEST.
and heat increasing, indicates wind and rain"
from the southward. tr
A fall with dry air and cold increasingj
in winter indicates snow. ,
A fall after very calm and warm weather;
indicates rain with squally weather.
The barometer rises for northerly windsi
''including from northwest by north to th«;
eastward for dry, ©r less wet weather, for'
less wind or for more than one of these
changes, except on a few occasions, when
rain, hail or snow comes from the north-
ward with strong wind.
The barometer falls for southerly wind,
including from southeast by south to the
westward, for wet weather, for stronger
wind or for more than one of th^e changes,
except on a few occasions, when moderate
wind, with rain or snow come from the
northward.
HOW WE ARE MADE.
According to Prof. Huxley's table, a full-
grown man should weigh 154 pounds, made
up thus: Muscles and their appurtenances,
68 pounds; bony skeleton, 24 pounds; integ-
ument, 10 V^ pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain,
3 pounds; viscera of thorax 3^ pounds; au-
dominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood, which
would drain the body, 7 pounds. He should
consume, per diem, beefsteak, 5,000 grains^
bread, 6,000 grains; milk, 7,000 grains; |«K
tatoes, 3,^)00 grains; butter, &)0 grains;
water, 22,900 grains. His heart should beat
75 times per minute; he should breathe 15
times per minute. In 24 hours he should
vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of air to the extent
of 1 per cent. He should throw off by the
skin 18 ounces of water, 400 grains of solid
matter, and 400 grains of carbonic add
every 24 hours, the total loss in that period
of time amounting to six pounds of water
and over 2 pounds of other matter.

HOW TO SEE WIND.
Choose a windy day, whether hot or eold,
d.Mx Or cloudy — ^but not when there is rain
or the air is murky; in other words, let the
atmosphere be dry and clear. Now take a
pelished metallic surface oft wo feet or
more with a straight edge — a large hand-
saw will answer the purpose very well.
Hold it at right angles to the direction of
the wind — that is, if the wind be north,
h»ld your surface east and west, inclining
it about forty-five degrees to the horizon,
»• that the wind striking against it may
fl»w over the edge. Now sight carefully
•ver the edge at some minute and sharply-
defined object, and you will see the air flow
over as water flows over a dam. The re-
sult is even better when the sun is ob-
scured.
WHY A JURY IS COMPOSED OF
TWELVE.
The jury of twelve was adopted because
the prophets were twelve ; there were twelve
Jewish justices, twelve pillars of the tem-
ple, twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes of
Israel, twelve stones in Aaron's breastplate,
twelve gates of Jerusalem, twelve signs 01
the Zodiac. When juries were first estab-
lished the judge took the jury around with
kim in a cart until they agreed upon a ver-
dict. If they did not agree they were fined
■kd imprisoned.

The Best Paper in the State,
HOW TO NAME THE DAY OF THE
WEEK OF A GIVEN DATE.
Divide the number of the year by 4, re-
jecting the remainder, if any. To this div-
idend and quotient add the number of daya
in the year to the given date, inclusive,
always reckoning 28 days in February. Di-
vide the sum by 7, and the figure of the
remainder will be the number of the day ot
the week, 0 signifying Saturday. E. g.,
take Oct. 17, 1888:
4)1888
472
290
7)2650
378^4
The 4th day, Wednesday.
Dates between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, in leap
years, both inclusive, must have 1 sub-
stracted, to balance the 1 added by the evea
division of the year, which is not yet offset
by Feb. 29. All dates in 1800, and any
other terminal year of a century, except one
equally divisible by 400, must be similarly
treated, as these are not leap years. DateJs
in 1752, after Sept. 2, must have 11 added,
on account of the change from old to new
style.
This rule may be pleasantly used to get
names of days on which dedding anniver-
saries and other events are coming in tka
future, as well as for past date*;

COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS.
Never lean with the back upon anything
that is cold.
Never begin a journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks, and then imme-
diately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, ^ especially between the
shoulder-blades, well covered; also the
chest well protected. In sleeping in a cold
room establish a habit of breathing through
the nose, and never with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet.
Never omit regular bathihg, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold will
close the pores and favor congestion and
other disease.
After exercise of any kind never ride in
an open carriage or near the window of a
car for a moment; it is dangerous to health
or even life.
When hoarse speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is removed, else the
voice may be permanently lost or difficul-
ties of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire and
never continue keeping the back exposed to
the heat after it has become comfortably
warm. To do otherwise is debilitating.
When going from a warm atmosphere
into a colder one keep the mouth closed,
so that the air may be warmed in its pas-
sage through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, espe-
cially after having taken slight exercise,
and always avoid standing on ice or snovr
©r where the person is exposed to cold
winds.

FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD
1905
Being the first after Bissextile, or Leap Year, and until July 4th the 129th
Year of our American Independence (A. M. 5903.)
8PEC»ALLY CALCULATED FOR THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF NORTH CAROLINA
FROM THE HORIZON AND MERIDIAN OF RALEIGH.
EIMNISS PUBLISHING COMPANY,
PINCK. C. ENNISS. Manager, RALEIGH, N. C.
This Almanac is calculated for the State of North Carolina only. All the astronomical phenomena
and data have been arranged exi/ressty {or this State. Other almanacs which have calcula-.
tions for a dozen diff'trent States aie not reliable as to exact time for North Carolina.
TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
entered according to act of Ck)ngress, in the year 1904 for the year 1905, by The Enniss PUBiiiSHi»c»
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
J^NOTE.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N C ALMANAC, In honor of the lat»
Hknry D. Turner, for many yean, a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published It in
the year 1838. En 1867 M^ James H Enniss, suoc-ee ed Mr Turner in ihe publicaii n of the Alaiauac
and under nis administration was Issued regularly untu his death in May, 1900. Since that time the
Almanac has been issued under the name of the Enniss Publishing Company.
Explanations and Remarks.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solai
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24 On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this diflFer-
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day m the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian. W.), which is the
tinae now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol beiux
in latitude 35° 46. '5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."1 ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
Rising and Setting of the Sun.
The Almanacs generally used have made the ri»-ing and setting together equal 12 hours. This i«
iacorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

ECLIPSES FOR 1905. ~~
In the year 1905 there will be four eclipses, two of the Sun and two of the Moon.
I. A partial eclipse of the moon, Feb. 19 ; invisible here, but the beginning visible in
Eastern Europe and Africa, and all of Asia and Australia, and the end visible throughout
the whole of Europe Asia Africa and Australia.
II. An annular eclipse of the sun March 5th ; not visible here, but visible to Australia
and a large portion of the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.
III. A partial eclipse of the moon August 14th-15th, visible here ; the beginning visible
generally in North and South America. Europe and Africa ; and the ending generally
throughout the whole of North and South America and the extreme western portion of
Africa. Time of the eclipse is as follows :
Moon enters penumbra Aug. 14d. 7h. 54m. p. m.
Moon enters shadow " 14d. 9h. 25m. p. m.
Middle of eclipse " 14d lOh. 27m. p. m.
Moon leaves shadow " Hd. Uh 29m. p. m.
Moon leaves penumbra " 15d. Ih. Om. a. m.
IV. A total eclipse of the sun August 30th, visible here as a partial eclipse, the sun
rising eclipsed. The path of totality will run through Labrador, the North Atlantic
Ocean, thence across Spain and Portugal and thence across the Mediterranean through
north-eastern Africa.
Tides.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corr^
spondiDg intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of th«
next correspouding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 35 minutes to the tidt
already found. In this almanac the tides for 8oulhport. N. C, are given in Btaadard Time, and hav«
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Ck)ast and Geodetic Survey.

lURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
ASTRONOMINAL MISCELLANY.
The Sun and Light and Heat.
Light and heat are the most powerful of
all agents in the quickening and support of
animal and vegetable life, and of these the
sun is of course the great source and cen-
tre. By its presence or absence, are caused
our day and night; and by its elevation or
depression, our seasons. These, in their
varied alterations, set in motion and con-
trol the entire world of organized existence.
Sun Spots.,.
The periods of scarcity and abundance oi
the spots on the sun, succeed each other
every five and a half years, so that in
eleven years, the sun passes through all its
stages of purity and spottiness: that is,
about nine times in the course of every
century. Both the beautiful electric phe-
nomena called the aurora borealis, and the
magnetic currents which influence the com-
pass, are closely connected with these spots
on the sun, though in what manner cannot
be explained.
The Sun and the Organic World.
The extent of solar influence in the or-
ganic world, is marvellous to contemplate.
The sun is the glowing ever acting heart
of organic natui^e; the succession of day and
night are the pulsation, the systole and
diastole, the contraction and expansion of
that heart. The sun is the aU-important
reservoir of life- supporting power, constant-
ly sending its royal tide of vitalizing light
and heat, through all the arteries of the
mundane system, to its uttermost extremi-
ties, penetrating its utmost recesses and
lowest depths, with its life-giving warmth.
Solar Power and Water.
The whole system of water-circulation,
for the cleansing, support and nourishment
of the world, is worked by solar power;
the sun is the ever-acting pump or heart,
by which the supply is raised from the
great oceanic reservoir. Its heat lifts the
water in vapours to the sky; these vapours
are transported by the heat-caused winds
of which we have spoken, and condensed by
the withdrawal of heat, into rain, &now,
hail, or dew, as the case may be. Thus
summer heat leads to mists and rains and
when excessive, to tropical deluges; thus
sunset is followed by the fall of dew, and
the winter diminution of solar heat, by
i3now, and hailstorms.
The Sun and Vegetable Life.
Vegetable life, without exception, is gene-
rated under the sun's quickening influence;
without it, not a seed would germinate,
not a blade would spring, not a leaf would
shoot, not a bud would burst, not a petal
would unfold, not a flower would bloom,
not a fruit would ripen. It alone raises and
distils the dews and rains which feed and
nourish the entire world of plants; it alone
dyes the field and the forSst with their
verdure; it alone paints the blossom with
its beauty, and tints with hues of loveliness
both earth and heaven. It gives birth to
the breezes, which stir the movenients of
every leaf and branch, scatter seeds -and
perfumes, and strip away all that has with-
ered or yielded to decay. It is the joyful
parent of spring, and the fruitful fount of
summer wealth and autumnal glory.
The planets Venus and Mars most nearly
resemble the earth in climatic conditions.
Arcturus has a circumference of 224,000,-
000 miles and our sun of 886,000 miles.
Mars has two moons. When one has been
reduced to its last quarter the other is full.
The spectroscope has shown that the
prominences on the sun are outbursts of
glowing hydrogen.
The sun's volume is 1,407,124 times that
of the earth and 600 times greater than all
the planets.
The earth has three motions: round its
axis, round the sun and with the sun and
solar system.
The moon gives out heat enough to affect
a thermometer and make a difference of
two or three degrees.
The calculations of the astronomer Bally
proved that the weight of the earth is
6,049,836,000,000,000 tons.
Sun spots 100,000 miles in diameter have
been measured, large enough to hold dozens
of such worlds as ours.
Some stars are believed to be so far away
that 2,000,000 years are required for their
light to reach the earth.
If, when Wellington won the battle of
Waterloo, in 1815, the news could have
been telegraphed off immediately, there are
some stars so remote that it would not have
reached them. If the tidings of the first
Christmas-tide in Bethlehem had been thus
sent to the stars, there are some orbits situ-
ated in the furthermost depths of space
which could not receive the message for a
long time yet.
TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
ASTRONOMICAL MISCELLANY.
The Sun Do Move.
It is an ascertained fact, that the sun,
instead of being fixed and motionless, is
leading his whole train of millions of plan-
ets, with their satellites, on an immense
and immeasurable journey through Space.
At the rate of five hundred miles every day,
our globe included, in a direction which can
be distinctly traced, but whose far- sweep-
ing orbit and amazing period, no power of
man has been able to calculate.
The Sun's Influence on Man.
Man walks in its light, labors in its heat,
basks in its smile, rejoices in its glory. It
is the constant and irresistible ruler of
days, and years, and seasons, and is en-
throned as such, from generation to genera-
tion, and from age to age. In all these
respects, it is the most glorious and sub-
lime of all the material emblems of HIM,
from whose creative fiat, it of old derived
existence and dominion, and by whose un-
failing power it is upheld j of Him who is
the blessed and only Potentate, the King
of kings an^ Lord of lords, the eternal and
overflowing^ Source of light and love.
The Sun's Influence on Animals.
Without it none of the innumerable forms
of animal life could for a moment exist.
Without its warmth all muscular power
would be paralyzed, the frozen blood would
fail to circulate, respiration would cease,
and life would inevitably become extinct.
Its rising and its setting, its shining and
withdrawing,- its ascent in summer, its de-
cline in autumn and winter, and return in
spring, control the cycles and create the J
boundaries of all the phases of animated
nature, the sleeping- and the waking, the
stillness and the activity, the silence and
the song, the action, the passion, and the
repose of innumerable tribes of living creat-
ures, peopling air and earth and seas.
Total Eclipses of the Sun.
Every year there must be two eclipses of
the sun, and there may be five. There are
partial eclipses, however, except in the com-
paratively rare case in which the moon
passes nearly centrally over the sun's disk
and produces a total obscuration of his
light. Since the invention of he spectro-
scope, in 1860, there have been barely &
score of total eclipses, and a number of
these could not be observed because the
belt of totality fell at the earth's polar re-
gions or upon tlje oceans. The belt of
totality is a narrow strip— never more than
170 miles wide — -where the point of the
moon's shadow falls upon the earth. Total
eclipses rarely occur, therefore, at the same
point of the earth. At London, for exam-
ple, there has been no total eclipse since the
year 1140, except that of 1715, and there
will be none during the next century.
The moon is without water, and destitute
of an atmosphere.
The nearest fixed star is 21,000,000,000
miles from the earth.
Some of the stars move with a velocity of
nearly 50 miles a second.
The fixed stars are suns and each may
have its own planetary system.
There are twenty stars of the first mag-
nitude and seven^' of the second.
Astronomers claim that there are 17,500,-
000 comets in the solar system.
The fixed star second in distance is 63,-
000,000,000 of miles from the earth.
To the naked eye 3,000 stars are visible;
the best telescopes show 5,500,000.
The fixed stars are of all colors, violet,
blue, gi'een and red predominating.
The strongest telescopes bring the moon
to an apparent distance of 100 miles.
There are stars whose diameter is greater
than that of our whole solar system.
The tail of a comet is believed to be mat-
ter similar to that contained in the nebulae.
The motion of the earth around the sun
is 68,305 miles an hour, over 1,000 miles a
minute, or 19 miles a second.
Some stars are so distant that, traveling
200,000 miles in a second, their light re-
quiues 14,000 years to reach the earth.
So remote is the planet Neptune from the
sun, its mean distance being 2,745,998,000
miles, that iljp temperature is estimated to
be 900 degrees below zero.
The sun's average distance from the
earth is nearly 93,000,000 miles. At one
period of the year the earth is 3,000,000
miles farther from the sun than at another.
The light of the sun is equal to 5,563 wax
candles, held at the distance of one foot
from the eye. It would require 600,000 full
moons to produce a day as brilliant as one
of cloudless simshine.
The sun gives 600,000 times as much light
as the moon; 7,000,000,000 as much as the
brightest star, and 36,000,000 as much as al)
the stars combined. In size the sun equals
1,300,000 earths, but owing to its smaller
density its weight equals only 300,000
earths.

tS- We make religion a matter of personal deal-
ing between Him and us. It is God s voice we
hear; it is God's call that we answer; it is to God
tkat we give our heart; it is with God that we
covenant; it is to Gi>d that we teil our pur-
poses; it is upon God that we rely. There are two
of us and only two of us— God and self.— cialected.
The Young Man's Sad Plight.
Diggs — Young Flasherton reminds me of
a turtle.
Biggs — What's the answer?
Riggs — Everything he has is on his back.
How it Got Twisted.
Mother — "Why, Johnny! your shirt is on
wrong- side out. You've been in swimming
again."
Johnny — "No'm; I've bin turnin' summer-
Bets. Dat's how my shirt got twisted
'round."
- Eyes to See With.
Laura is a little girl who lives in the
country. She said to her father the other
day: "I know the reason you leave the
eyes in the potatoes when you plant 'em,
papa; you want 'em to sed their way up
through the ground."
Troubles Ended.
Said the Bird to the Worm, "You seem to
have your troubj^es."
"Yes," said the Worm, "a bushel of
them."
•Well," said the Bird, "I guess I'll take a
peck."
And with that the Worm's troubles were
over forever.
In Her Name.
"Father," he suddenly remarked, as he
looked up into the parental face, "you are
awfully good to ma."
•'Am I? Well, I hope Itreat her as a
husband should a devoted wife."
"And it's all over the place how liberal
you are to her."
"How — what do you mean?"
"Why, I heard three of four men say
that all you had in the world was in her
name!"
"Yes — ahem — ^yes— you go to bed, sir;
and the next time you hear people lying
about me, don't listen to what they say."
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy
dressing with compost and salt. Radishes sow
sparsely from time to time. Horse radish cuttings
put out. Unions may still be planted, also Garlic
and 8hallots. Lettuce plants from fall sowing
transplant. Spinach may be sown for early
spring use. Onions hoe and all other hardy crops
planted in autumn. Peas sow at intervals; some
may be frosted, but try again. Turnips for early
crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may be trans-
planted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cabbage
seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
A mixtuie of copperas and glue will keep
rabbits and mice from your fniit trees.
The diieet profit from clover or grass is
not as great as from grain, yet indirectly, it
is much gi-eater.
The Maryland experiment station decides
that cane produces a greater amount of fod-
der, green or dried, than does corn.
Ground bone is an excellent fertilizer for
all crops. It imparts benefit for several
seasons after it is applied.
The farmer should combine the raising
of colts with his ordinary farm work, by
keeping brood mares for his farm teams.
Rich bottom lands can be made to pay
owners, in Bermuda grass hay, from $30 to
$50 per acre, \vill these lands do this in
cotton? Will they do it in corn?
Lime applied broadcast to the soil aids
to render plantfood already in the soil avail-
able, and it is an exception to find a soil
but that can be more or less benefitted-
A fann on which hog cholera has pre-
vailed is worth less than one free from this
scourge. The disease infects the soil, or at
least the surface, for several years.
A good milker will have large milk veins
— that is, large veins leading to the udder,
under the belly. Those large veins indicate
a large milker.
Poultry and fruit culture go hand in
hand. Both require a small area of land,
and both can occupy the same plot at the
same time, excepting in the cultivation of
small fruits.

MIS' We do not read of Jesus Christ as a man
with a great arm and a mighty shoulder. But
who can meateure the length and breadth, the
depth of the power of that magnificent plerso-
naiity? He was bone, flesh and sinew. Yet in
Him was Uod. He revealed the power of God and
sent it down the ages.— ISelected.
No Place to Sit Down.
"It was never intended that a lazy boy
should reach the top of the ladder."
"No; there's no place up there for him
to sit down."
The Cause of It.
"Do you notice what rosy cheeks our
daughter Susie has lately? 1 wonder what
causes it."
"I suppose you^have failed to notice that
her best fellow is raising a beard."
As to Suitor.
Her Father. — I vos afraid he vos choost
after my money.
Rachel. — ^But he can make blenty of
money, Fader.
Her Father.— 'Yes; but he can't make it
as easy as dot!
Good Soil.
"We kin grow everything in our country
'cept pumpkins."
"Why not pumpkins?"
"Cos the soil is so rich en th' vines grow
so fast, that they wear th' pumpkins out
draggin' 'em over th' ground."
All George's Fault.
"Why do you and George quarrel so?"
asked the bride's mother.
"It's all his ault," was the reply, "I'd
never quarrel with him if it were not for
one thing."
^'What's that?"
"He won't let me have my own way."
Business.
Leap year is having its effect. A young
man called on a girl a few evenings ago
and she complimented him on his new suit
of clothes, and styled it his wedding suit.
"But this is a business suit," he saiii.
**Well," replied the young lady firmly, "I
mean business I"
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating materi-
als for hotbeds; for which select situation protect-
ed by a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress,
grafting execute. Fruit trees and shrubby trans-
plant. Plant early potatoes. Spinach sow, also
Radishes, Carrots, Pai-snlps, Salsify, Beets, Cab-
bage plants from diflerent sowings, transplant
Lettuce plants. Peas plant -the extra early Is the
best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage, Tomato, Egg
Plant, Lettuce, Radish, etc. Don't be deterred In
your operations for fear of loss by change of tem-
perature, but have at hand the means of protec-
tion aj^ainst hard weather, or you \yill be behind
your enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Wood ashes *and bone will make grapes if
any thing will.
Oats is the great Staple horse food of the
world for all classes of horses.
The proper time to water horses is juat
before they eat, not afterward.
A ration of equal parts bran and com-
meal is good for the growing hogs.
All the rakings, sod grass and refuse of
the farm can be used as a foundation for a
compost heap.
When fruit trees are to be planted plow
the land before hand, harrow it well, and
enrich with manure.
Animals deprived of salt do not thrive a»
well nor wear as sleek coats as those that
have a regular and full supply.
It is claimed that com is the most suita-
ble food for setters. The requirements of
a setter differ from those of other hens.
For laying hens milk is nourishing, and
induces laying. Where it can be spared
it is more valuable to the poultry stock
than to any other.
An ardent pig- fancier contends that the
raising of pork, if properly conducted upon
the farm, will lift the mortgage or raise th©
bank account more rapidly than any other
farm stock.
The advantages of dairying calls out
among other things, enhanced revenues, be-
cause butter and cheese have become neces-
sities; it enriches the arm, and is perfectly
adapted to foster the breeding and raisinif
of better and more stock.

Had Reason for Regretting Him.
Andrew Carnegie tells, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, a story of a boyhood
. friend with whom he renewed acquaint-
ance on a recent visit to Scotland, says the
New York Times. In the course of conver-
sation, Carnegie happened to ask about a
certain Geordie McKey.
He's dead long ago," said his friend,
^•;ind I'll never cease regretting him as long
a ^ I live."
Dear me, had you such a great respect
for him as all that?" asked the library
king.
"Na, na! It wasna ony respee' I had for

Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants
from winter beds, especially the large York, Fresh
beds of Asparagus, Articholses, Sea Kale and
Rhubarb, and Strawberry set out, plant peas, Po-
tatoes, Onion Sets and early Corn; sow Cabbage,
Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek,
Lettuce, Mustard, Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Par-
snip, Pumpkin, Pepper, at the close of the month,
Radish, Salsify, Spinach, Turnips and Tomatoes
sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
A dressing of 150 to 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda in spring will greatly increase the
wheat crop.
Jerseys make more butter annually, com-
pared with the food they e^t. than any
other breed.
Tk-e dairy, like the smoke house, shoald
be at home. There is no reason why it
should not be.
Wheat bran is excellent to make cow»
give a large mess of milk, but for the but-
ter maker it does not furnish the requisite
material.
Heat sour milk slowly until it thicken*
and the curds separate, then stir in oat
meal and you have one of the best of foods
for poultry.
Early cabbage are made to head earlier
by the London gardeners, by tieing up the
loose leaves over the head just as it be-
gins to form; it is said to hasten their ma-
turity nearly two weeks.
Because in the a-ggregate the farm stock
has paid, it should not be satisfactory.^ It
is important to know not only which kinds
of stock, but which animals pay the largest
per cent of profit.
Milk Fever. — Any cause that interferes
with the condition of the cow after calving
may produce milk fever. Exposure, too
much exercise or nervous exeitetnent are
sufficient to bring on an attack, and a re-
covery is rare. It is the "ounce of preven-
tion" in this case, as in so many others that
is worth the pound of cure. Keep the ani-
mal quiet for a week before and after calv-
insr and nurse her well.

Garden Calendar for April.
If not dqne last month, plant Cabbage, Peas,
Potatoes, Beets, Corn, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips,
Cucumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Toma-
to, Okra, Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper,
Lettuce, Egg Plant. Plants set out in February
and March will require culture. Sow Leeks foB
winter use. Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and
Drumhead Savoy Cabbage seed for plants to be
set out in June. Beans may now be planted, drill
Lettuce if intended to head; draw up earth to Po-
tato vines. Turnips sowed last month should be
hoed and thinned. Transplant spring-sowed
Cabbage and manure well if you expect fine
heads. Citron and watermelon plant. Small On-
ions sets out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to extermi-
nate weeds. Additional root crop may now be
sown. Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs.
Remember to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOTES.
Cutting fodder is a saving of one-third.
Lice is a great annoyance to calves, and
will keep them poor.
While some have preserved corn fodder
uncut in pits or silos, the general experi-
ence is against it.
Weeds can be killed more sasily and
quickly by choking out with heavy seeding
of clover dnd timothy than in any other
way.
Early cut clover with a little timothy in
it makes the best hay on earth for young
cattle, cows and work horses, if cut at the
right time and nicely cured.
Staggers are the result of congestion of
the brain due to over- feeding. Pigs are
more often overfed than any other animals,
and it is the source of nearly all the dis-
eases to which they are subject.
Machines. — Mowers should be looked
after; old ones put in good order at once,
and new ones ordered. In buying look care-
fully into the^ claims of the leading kinds.
It must not be forgotten that while novel-
ties are worth close attention, an old repu-
tation for undoubted excellence should not
be lightly ignored in the search for new
things. No fanner with more than ten
icres of grass can afford to go without a
mower and a horse rake at least and per-
haps a horse-fork should be included.

of the Kieruai One.— Selected.
I She Couldn't TeU.
^ "Am I descended from a monkey, ma?"
"I dare say, but I'm not sure, for I never
met any of your father's people."
I . Sensible Boy.
• Uncle Bob — If I was to give you a cent.
Tommy, what would you do with it?
Tommy (aged Oj — I'd buy a postal card
and write to you for a quarter.
Why He Wanted to Be Adam.
Little Elmer — I wish I had been Adam.
The Nurse — Why?
i Little Elmer — He never had to be a kid
and have a woman wash his face and neck;
that's why.
Egg Needed Not Salt.
"Jane," said the boarding house landlady,
"pass Mr. Newman the salt for his egg."
"Never mind the salt, thank you," re-
joined the latest acquisition to the fold,
"this egg is none too fresh as it is."
The Scream of Pleasure.
Teacher — A cream, Tommy, is ran excla-
mation of pain. How can you say it is
an exclamation of pleasure?
Tommy^ — I was alluding to de scream a
girl gives when a man kisses her.
Weeks vs. Years.
He (five weeks after marriage) — I have
brought you a birthday present, my angel
—diamond necklace, which, however, will
pale before the brightness of your eyes.
He (five years after marriage) — I have
brought you a birthday present — an ash-re-
ceiver.
She — But, my dear, I do not smoke cigars.
He — N-o, but if you have an ash-receiver
for me to put my cigar ashes in, it will save
you the trouble of sweeping them up, you
know.
Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower,
etc., hoe them frequently and draw earth to the
stems; thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots,
Parsnips,, and Salsify, and sow all kinds omitted
last month. Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce,
Tomato, Egg Plant from hotbeds to warm bor-
ders. Plant Beans, bush or bunch, for a succ^
sion; Lima, Carolina and other pole Beans, Cab-
bage plants, sow ^eed if not done last month, aisp,
Carrot, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Indian Corn croi>s
which have failed first sowing. Repeat Melons.
Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkin and
Squash. Sow Cabbage for winter. Corn plant fpr
succession. Finish sowing all kinds of Aromatic,
Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FARM NOTES.
Hogs that are turned on clover should be
"ringed" if you do not wish the ground
rooted up.
Pine lands are deficient in nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, and where they are sandy
also lack potash.
The farmer who has "bad luck" with his
horses, cattle, hogs and crop has also a
great deal of bad management.
It is the excepqtion rather than the, rule
that specialties in arming pays. Up '-
average conv^.ions mixed farming is the
most profitable.
The southern fanner of today must study
the principle of breeding and feeding stock,
as much as the best methods of raising
grain, cotton and tobacco.
We recommend to every farmer plough-
mg up a piece of rich or fertilized ground
for a grass patch, either to grow it up i«
native grass or with some approved va-
riety.
Often as it has been agitated, but very
few farmers are making proper use of
clover as a manure. No matter vvbat if
done with 't, the growing of clover eaB
hardly fail to be benehcial to the farm.
Every farmer should have an experijneni-
al plot of his own. The information gained
of a practical kmd will be invalui ble. If
every farmer in North Carolina could be itt-
duced to try a few experiments annually
agriculture would make more rapid progf-
resB than any other branch of industry.

j8®=" The character of the family determines the
character of the nation, its possession, its length
of life; and in the family the most potent factor is
the mother. God has so made the mother that
the little child gathers from her from the very
inception of its life the elements of its character.—
Selected.
The Tenderest.
New Boarder — Let me have the tenderest
part of the fowl.
Old Boarder — Pass him the chicken gravy.
Better Than a String.
Mother — Johnny! On your way home
from school, stop at th> store an get me a
stick of candy and a bar of soap.
Father — ^What do you want of a stick of
candy ?
Mother — That's so he'll remember the
soap.
Ample Reasons.
Maynae — So you are not going to marry
Jack Smart after all?
Edyth— No.
* Mayme — -Why not?
\ Edyth — ^Because papa objects to his pov-
erty, mamma objects to his family, and I
object to his failure to propose.
His Evolution.
"Ripsling, how did you ever happen to
k become a street preacher?"
"It was this way, brother: When I re-
formed and joined the church I was a mule
driver out West. Of course I w^asn't of any
account as a mule driver after that, and I
had ' to go at something."
(Herrings are Cured.
"Why," said Bobby to his, elder brother,
"do herrings have so many more illnesses
than other fish?"
"Who says they do ?" asked the youth ad-
dressed.
"Why, this book says that thousands up-
on thousands of them are cured every year."
Most Intelligent Age.
Teacher — "At what age is man most in-
telligent?"
Scholar— "When he's a baby."
Teacher — "How do you make that out?"
Scholar — "Well, Ma's alius tellin' pa an*
me that we ain't got the sense we's bom
with."
Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed. Sum-
mer Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted;
sow Tomatoes for a succession; sow Beets and
Carrots; transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucum-
bers, Melons and Squashes may be planted for a
succession, also Corn. As herbs come into flower
they should be cut and put into a shady place to
dry. The chief labor of the garden had better be
directed to what is already in growth.
FARM NOTES.
All farm animals should be treated kindly
and gently.
Your neighbors have rights. See that
your animals do not annoy others.
Probably no other animal on the farm,
except the family cow, will pay better than
a breeding sow.
No system of farming is complete that
loses any of the fertility at the bam. Save
all, liquid and selid.
Butter farming is more profitable, health-
ful and refined than truck farming, beef
farming, poultry or pig raising.
If scrub stock is so low that it does not
pay to raise it any more, try a better grade,
and see if it will not be satisfaetorv.
Who can give from his own experience
the price at home, in the average year, at
which fat hogs can be sold at a profit?
Manures consisting of potash,^ phosphoric
acid and ammonia, or nitrates, appear com-
petent to grow large crops of wheat contin-
uously.
The sunflower is the best egg-producing
food known for poultry, keeping them in a
thriving condition and largely increasing the
production of eggs.
Marketing Fruit.— Provide all the appli-
ances of quick and proper marketing before
the fruit is ready. So much depends upon
the appearance of the fruit at the market
that neatness and care in so packing it that
it will show at its best, will pay. Caution
should be given to the pickers that no over-
ripe fruit be put into the basket or crates.
Tf the distance to market Is conside-.p.ble tlic
fruit should be in a less mature state than
when the market is but a short distance
a WAV.

4®=- Salvation Is the synonym of the ideal. Life
is the essence of being and there is nothing great
and lasting but life. It is the only reality, the
one permanent thing that extends through all
eternity. There must be some best, some right
way of living, and the problein is to find it.— Se-
lected.
That Credit System.
He— '"How much for a kiss?"
She — "You may have one for nothing;
you are a regular customer."
The Gauntlet Hurled.
'"This bread isn't fit for a dog to eat,"
growled the husband.
"Very well, my dear," replied his wife,
"don't eat it, then." '
Sufficient Provocation.
"Willy Smith kissed me and asked me not
to tell."
"Then why did you tell ?"
"He said he'd never do it again."
Acting on the Suggestion.
Little Brother — Do you know, Maoel, I
believe if I weren't here. Captain Spooner
would kiss you.
Mabel — ^Leave the room this minute, you
impertinent little boy!
Need Weaker Glasses.
Lushman — I'm troubled with headaches in
the morning. It may be on account of my
eyes; perhaps I need stronger glasses.
Doctor Shrude— 'No; I think you merely
need weaker glasses — and fewer — at night.
A Bigamist's Excuse.
Mike is a married man — a very much
married man. He has married no fewer
than four times, and all his wives are still
to the fore. According to Michael's own ac-
count at the Dublin assizes, where he was
tried for bigamy and found guilty, his ex-
periences have not been altogether satisfac-
tory. The Judge, in passing sentence, ex-
pressed his wonder that the prisoner could
be such a hardened villain as to delude so
many wonen
"Yer Honor," said Mike, apologetically, "I
was only thryin' to get a good one, an' it's
not aisy!"
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper
Plants, Cauliflower and Brocoli. Sow Carrots and
Parsnips if needed; sow Endive for early crop; a
few Turnips may be sown; transplant Celery for
early supply, and prepare trenches for the main
crop. Spinach may be sown towards the last of
the month. Irish potatoes plant. Cucumbers for
pickles; plant Beans* sow cabbage seed for Col-
lards; sow Summer Radish in drills; sow Turnip-
rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fennel, Mint, Parsley.
Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter Savoy. Cut
herbs for winter use as they come into flower.
FARM NOTES.
Varnish for scratches in horses is recom-
mended.
Never change the food of the cows entire-
ly or they will shrink in milk. If a change
is desired let it be done by deo^rees.
We must have a dog tax to pay the dam-
fige to sheep killed by dogs, and the surplus
to school revenue of the townships.
The business of farming must be con-
ducted differently than it was twenty-five
or thirty years ago, or it will be a failure.
Farmers, there can be no lasting prosper-
ity to the farmer who depends entirely upon
any one crop "for his all." Go in for home
supplies first.
The time of bloom or thereabouts is the
fittest for cutting grasses in order to obtain
the most nourishment and largest relatively
profitable crops.
"How can I toughen the neck and shoul-
ders of my horse, to prevent galling?" asked
a corresnondent. Clean, soften and properly
adjust the collar.
Don't stand still, improve a little every
year. A little work in cleaning up and im-
proving will add considerable to the appear-
ance at a very small cost.
Eggs from hens that are two years old
will hatch better and bring better offspring
than those from the younger stock. Young
hens are preferable for market.
Good hay racks for holding feed for cattle,
horses and sheep, will save one a great deal
of money and hay over the wasteful plan of
feeding the hay on the ground or in troughs,
where it can be pulled out and trampled
under foot.

^S" It is not a question of how you think or
what you would like. If there is no God and no
hereafter then it is not up to us. We shall eat
and we shall drink and some day we shall die and
and be buried as the dog or swine are are buried.
But if there is God and a hereafter, then it is up
to you and me.— Selected.
Not His.
Little Boy — ^Perkins, our new coaclimen,
says England is his mother country. Is it
yours, too?
Gardener — No, be jabers, it's my shtep-
mother counthry.
Patriotic.
Clarence — ^Why do you say the wedding
was patriotic? Algernon — ^Well the bride
was red, the groom was white, and her
father, who had all the bills to pay, was
blue.
Court of Arbitration,
"The reason I can't get along with my
wife is that she wants me to submit all our
differences to arbitration."
"To arbitration?"
"Yes. She always wants to refer dispjiii^
to her mother."
A Cunning Husband.
She (complainingly) — Before we were
married you used to laring me flowers al-
r-ost every day; but now you never think
of buying me even a bunch of violets.
He (gallantly) — The nretty flower girls
don't attract my attention as they used to.
She — Oh, you darling! Never mindj I
don't really care for flowers anyway.
Sure Death.
Mrs. Benham — "I believe there is a burg-
lar in the pantry where the pies are that I
made this afternoon."
Benham — "Well, listen, my dear, and we
may catch his last words."
What's the difference between a sheet
metal worker and an opium fiend?
A sheet metal worker goes into a pipe and
hits the joints, while the opium fiend goes
into a joint and hits the pipe. '
A 2-year old baby, here called the snow-
fl....es '"jackfrosticles." That was bad enough
in itself but the kid's mother went and
blabbed it to the whole neighborhood.
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant peas and Beans; prepare ground for Tur-
nips, Spinach, Shallots, and sow Cabbage seed to
head in November. Large York and Early Dwarf
and flat Dutch are excellent varieties at this
season. Sow CoUard seed, earth up Celery, •
Broccoli and Cauliflower sow, and transplant from
an early sowing. Onion sets to stand winter. Car-
rots sow. Squashes sow. Ruta Baga sow. Tur-
nips for table use at intervals. Potatoes plant for
winter use. Lettuce drill for heading; sow Lettuce
for autumn use. Radishes sow from time to time.
Beets may be sown for winter supply, but as the
seed vegetate with difficulty at this season, repeat
until successful; cut sage and other herbs, gather
seed and prepare ground for late crops.
FARM NOTES.
Let hog and hominy be your motto.
A farmer ouorht not to be ashamed of hia
occupation.
A rich farm makes rich milk, and such
milk makes the dairyman rich.
Don't plant a mortgage on your farm, it
never yields a profitable harvest.
In dairy regions everywhere the farmers
are generally out of debt and in a prosper-
ous condition.
An animal is never at a standstill. It is
either increasing or decreasing. The rule
should be to never allow an animal to fall
off.
What is the condition of the manure
heaps in the barnyards? If they are left
uncovered to waste bv evaporation, and un-
- rotected from heavy winds, losses are go-
ing on that even the best farming otherwise
could not afford.
Of the male breeding animals on the farm,
the boar receives the meanest treatment.
Many think that he must have the appear-
ance and traveling gait of the race- horse,
rrom such an animal first-class stock can
not be expected.
Mangy Calves. — Mix together equal parts
by weight of soft soap and flower of sul-
phur, together with two quarts of boiling
hot water, stirring it until it is cold. Of
this apply once a day a small portion dur-
ing four to five days and wash it all off
with warm water the sixth day. It may
lie necessary to repeat this after one week'i
interval.

4®" We ask to much of men about what they
believe or do not believe. The working and living
Church of Christ is not that which shall only have
a place and a welcome for those who are fully
equipped with faith in all its sacred doctrines, but
a church which, like Christ, shall draw all men
unto it and gradually, but its spiritual love and
care, nourish men into its highest privileges and
possessions.— Selected.
The Real Case.
Mother — Johnny, are you in that jam
again ?
Voice from the pantry — No, ma, it's in
me.
Only Once.
"She appears inconsolable."
"Yes, poor woman! Her husband has
been dead three years and she has only
been married once since."
He Wanted to Live.
"What makes you bad, Tomrfty?" asked
an old lady of a precocious youngster.
" 'Cause the good die young," answered
the incorrigible Tommy.
Politics.
"Do you think politics is being elevated?"
"I don't know whether politics is being
elevated or not," answered Senator Sorg-
hum, "but votes are getting higher every
year."
Theatrical Effect.
Deacon Jones — Don't you think the new
minister is rather dramatic?
Deacon Smith — That's what he is. Didn't
you notice Colonel Ryerson go (fat between
"thirdly" and "fourthly" to see a man?
A Choice of Voices.
"Miss Chatterton? I think I'll send her
word that I'm out."
"Won't the still, small voice reproach
you?"
"Yes, but I'd rather listen to the still,
small voice than to Miss Chatterton." —
Puck.
Y. — Do you think Ike ever lies about the
fish he catches? C. — No, I don't; but I
thing he lies about the fish he doesn't catch.
Some doctors who take life easy escape
arrest.
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the pea vines and
stick as they advance. It is not too late to plant
Beans; transplant Cabbage sown last month.
Early York and large York Cabbage may be
sown; towards the end of this month sow Flat
Dutch and Drumhead and large York Cabbage
may be sown; towards the spring, and to secure a
good supply sow liberally; transplant Cauliflower
and Broccoli; sow Turnips, Potatoes planted last
month will require culture. Onions may be sown
for a general crop if buttons to plant are not on
hand. Carrots sown will be fit for use in Decem-
ber, Spinach may be sown from time to time.
Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may be trans-
planted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
For everything you buy or sell, lend or
hire, make an exact contract at first — do
not be put off by the popular mistaken idea
that "we shall not disagree about trifles."
Keep your farm buildings and all your
premises absolutely clean. Use absorbents,
such as dry earth and ashes, and all offen-
sive gases will disappear, thereby promoting
health and prosperity.
The margin of profits to the farmer just
now is close and sharp. The way to make
farming pay is not to run off on side issues,
and so neglect the business in hand, but by
higher cultivation, improved methods of til-
lage, more economical management, and by
greater industry seek to swell the profits.
Plowing ought to be thoroughly done,
whatever else is slighted. We adhere to our
belief in deep plowing, except where the sub-
soil is sour or contains noxious substances,
Avlien the deepening of the soil, and the fer-
tilizing, sweetening and aeration of the low-
er stratum must proceed gradually.
Compost. — Farmers who know the value
of compost, and know how to make it, in-
crease their manure pile. In this way hun-
dreds of loads are made annually, the mate-
rial being gatliered on the premises, such as
forest leaves, cornstalks (including the
roots), weeds, vines, loam from fence corn-
ers, muck from ponds and ditches, occasion-
ally a sprinkling of lime through the mass,
layers of barnyard manure, and thus build
up oblong squares and let them remain over
winter.

4®" The lamp of God is designed to shine all
through the dreary hours of the night, and when
we make frequent mention of the goodness and
grace of God, we are holding forth the word of life
and shining as lights in the world. Some one
groping amid darkness is encouraged, strengthen-
ed and cheered.— Selected
Too Much Repose.
Artist — So you are not satisfied with my
portrait of your wife, eh? What's wrong?
Wedderly— It isn't lifelike. Too much re-
pose about the month.
Well Equipped .
She — I don't see why women should be in-
ferior to men as anglers
He — Of course not. With their conversa-
tional ability, they ought to tell first-clasa
fish stories
Had 'Em, but Couldn't Get at 'Em.
"Name the bones of the skull."
The candidate for his medical degree, hes-
itating, stammers : "Excuse me, sir, it must
be my nervousness; but for the life of me I
can't remember a single one — yet I have
them all — in my head."
On the Other Hand.
"Of course," remarked the very young
man who knows it all. "A woman's 'no'
always means 'yes'"
"Perhaps it doesn't," replied the man with
the scanty hair, "but I'm right here to teU
you that her 'yes' never means 'no.' "
Found an Easy Way.
"How is your boy getting along?"
"First rate."
"Studying hard?"
"No. He writes me that he doesn't have
to. Hfe is eating a lot of the patent foods
that build up the brain and make successful
men."
The Hand of Time.
Mother — Why, my dear, what's the mat-
ter?
Daughter (tearfully) — I — I am losing my
beauty.
"Nonsense!"
"Oh, it's true. I went to Bargain & Co.'s
to price goods, and the clerk who waited
on me began to look tired before I'd been
there an hour — boo, hoo, hoo!"
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage
transplant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Tur-
nips hoe. Onions sown last month will be ready
to transplant; small bulb onions set out. Spinach
for winter use sow. Celery earth up in dry
weather and transplant from the bed for further
supplies, also Lettuce for spring use. Radishes
sow as required. Asparagus beds dress; straw-
berries transplant. Take up Potatoes and other
roots, secure them from wet and frost; collect
Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and expose
them to the winds and air on a dry bench before
they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
The successful farmer must raise mor«
grass and stock, and less cotton and tobacco.
It takes a great deal of courage to plow
under a good crop of clover or peas, but the
agricultural coward never did make a great
success.
Never rent a farm if you can own one.
The man who rents a farm must necessarily
add much to the farm from which he cannot
derive any benefit.
Buckwheat is recommended as the best
remedy for the wire worm. Two or three
crops sowed in succession will completely
starve them out, as they will not eat it to
any extent.
It is conceded that the Berkshire will
average at 6 months old 160 potmds; at 9
months, 230; at 12 months, 300; at 18
months, 400, and at 24 months, 500. It will
be seen that the best comparative weight ii
at 12 months and under.
Experiments with concentrated fertilizers
are often spoiled just as crops are injured
or lost through wrong application. Farmer*
are apt to think the manure must be put
close to the seed, else the plant will not get
the benefit of it. The real truth of th«
matter is, that it is not the plant just germ-
inated that needs the fertilizer, but the
plant which already has a start and needs
helping on to the finish.
Killing Lice. — Washing with kerosene and
water, or anointing with sulphur oint-
ment, will kill lice on hogs. In the stable!
use quicklime, carbolic acid, petroleum or
turpentine, first deluding them with boiling
water. Persian insect powder in the bed»
will kill the lice.

4®=- Christ fought battles more terrible than
any hero of war. He fought against the powers
of evil. His battle in the wilderness with Satan
is the subllmest on record. We are so imperfect
in out development that we do not realize how
terrible were the battles for purity and justice
Christ fought.— Selected.
Didn't Show It.
"Do you think he is really in love with
you?" asked Maud. "I don't know/' an-
swered Mamie. "He says he is, but his let-
ter's don't sound a bit silly."
The Reason Why.
Young Lady (at seaside, to mariner) —
Why are all vessels spoken of as she? It's
because they glide so gracefully, now, isn't
it? Mariner — No, miss, it ain't. It's be-
cause of their riggin' costing so much.
His Little Joke on the Doctor.
"Doctor," said the patient, after paying
his bill, "if there is anything in the theory
of the transmigration of souls you'll be a
war horse after death."
"That sounds rather flattering," remarked
Dr. Price-Price.
"Yes, you're such a splendid charger."
Broke It Gently.
An Irishman was sent to report the death
of a fellow-workman who had just been
killed by an explosion, and was told to
break it gently. He knocked at the door;
when the woman appeared, he said, "Is this
the Widow Doolin?" "No! I am Mrs. Doo-
lin." "You are a liar; the corpse is coming
around the comer there now."
Necessary 'Precaution.
An American in Paris was one day look-
ing at the Eiffel Tower, when he was ac-
costed by an enthusiastic Frenchman with,
"Ah! my friend, that is a beautiful tower,
and I doubt very much whether you have
anything to beat it in America."
"Wal, stranger," replied the American,
"I guess it's good for France, but in Amer-
ica we have a tower so high that we have
to loAver the top at night."
"Lower the top at night?" replied the
Frenchman. "For what reason?"
"Wal, *I guess it is just to let the moon
pass, stranger. Good-day."
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows
against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact,
close-growing bed, the roots and stems buried up
to the lower leaves of the cabbages; the beds may
then be covered with straw, or a temporary shed
erected over them. Beets dig and store. Carrots
dig and store. Celery earth up finally. Onions in
store examine. Turnips and Salsify dig for con-
venient accfiss. Now is a good time to transplant
fruit and ornamental trees and shrubbery. Spring
is generally a better time for transplanting ever-
greens.
FARM NOTES.
Paint aU tools that are exposed to the
weather or the heat of the sun.
To keep bugs off of melons and squash
vines, plant a tomato plant in each hill.
Manure containing ammonia must not be
mixed with alkaline ashes, else some of the
ammonia will be lost.
Don't spare the whitewash brush on your
outhouses. It has an excellent Aioral as
well as valuable physical cleansing effect.
Mixing salt with manure and composts
uill kill white grubs as well as seeds of
weeds Afterwards spread broadcast and
plow, harrow or cultivate into the soil.
Gather fi^om the stables, hog pens, chicken
roosts, cow pens and privies all the fertiliz-
ing elements now allowed to go to waste,
and apply it systematically to your soil,
and you will be abundantly rewarded in en-
larged crops, as well as in the steady im-
provement of the land.
A gentleman of experience recommends
tobacco smoke as a cure for chicken gapes.
He places the chickens which are affected in
a basket; this is held over the fumes of
burning tobacco until they become stupe-
fied; then they are removed to fresh air,
when they revive from the action of the to-
bacco and are cured of the gapes.
Apples. — A peck of sour apples once a
week, 'promotes health and flesh in horses,
and is "sure cure for worms."
Stables. — Let your stable be well drained
and sufflciently lighted. The vapors from a
damp, putrid floor, and the sudden change
from darkness to light, will almost to a cer-
tainty cause blindness.

i8®- The beauty of Christ's character is seen in
the great "moral miracle" of His life, and this is
greater even than the miraculous works of His
hands. His life so strikingly perfect, is an irrefu-
table proof of His divinity. His character, so ab-
solutely faultless and so transcendent in its
radiant beauty is an irresistible evidence of His
supernatural being.— Selected.
Every Inducement.
"Do vou think it will rain to-day?"
"I am afraid it will. Tlie predictions are
for fair weather and I have lost my um-
brella."
An Eye for Business.
"Do you believe in long engagements,
Clara?"
"Certainly; it gives the girl an oppor-
timity to look around and see if she can do
better."
Relatively.
Maud — Do you like Mr. Dinwiddle?
Ethel — Oh, yes, I like him, relatively
speaking,
Maud — Relatively speaking! What do you
mean by that?
Ethel — You see, I promised to be a sister
to him.
His Indignant Inquiry.
He (on his knees). — Darling, I love you
with all my heart, with all my soul, and
with all the strength of my beuig!
She. — Are you in earnest, Clarence?
He (reproachfully). — In earnest! Say, do
you think I am bagging my trousers this
way for fun?
Why He Rejoiced.
"You evidently enjoyed the sermon this
morning, said Mrs. Enpeck to the other
third of the combine, upon his return from
church with a self-satisfied smile on his
countenance.
"You just bet I did," replied Enpeck.
"The minister's remarks were exceedingly
edifying!"
"What were they about?"
"About there being no marriage or giving
in marriage in Heaven," answered the meek
and lowly man with a large- sized chuckle.
O'Brien returned drunk from a party.
The clock struck four. "One, one, one, one,"
hiccupped O'Brien. "I say, Mrs. O'Brien the
clock struck one four times.'*
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now
be attended to. If the weather be open the ground
may be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits
of the winter frost. Compost prepare; dung pre-
pare for hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish
and Salad sow in frames, also Lettuce. Trans-
planting trees, may still be done. Prune fruit
trees, vines, etc. Transplant all hardy plants.
Cabbage plants sown in October will be fit to
put out. Sow large York to head in January
and February. Small onions may still be plant-
ed. Earth up Celeiy in dry weather. Thin Spinach
as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
Half-bred Jerseys or Aldemeys are among
the best cows.
An excess of salt in the food retards the
fattening of animals.
It is not good luck that makes good, crops,
but it is good work. Brains and hands must
combine to do the work.
Stop mortgaging your crops before they
are made and you will be 100 per cent bet-
ter off at harvest time.
Providence never hides a smiling counte-
nance from those who manure highly, cul-
tivate often and seed with liberality.
A farmer should look ahead, think in ad-
vance of his work and have his plans well
laid. The winter is a good time for this
mental labor.
Two parts quicklime, three parts soot
and one part coarse refuse salts, used as a
top dossing, is said to be destruction to the
cut worms. Refuse salt alone, at the rate
of 500 pounds to the acre, in the fall wiU
destro^ the worm.
Alfalfa grows rapidly and should be cut
as soon as the blue flowers appear. It
thrives better when cut, and becomes thick-
er. It is fully the equal of red clover for
stock, and contaias a larger proportion of
nutriment. Farmers should put in an ex-
perimental plot as soon as possible, in order
to test it in this section.
Care of Implements. — A rough shed made
of boards costs but little, asd will pay a
large interest on the investment, if used to
shelter farm implements from the sun and
rain, in fact all implement* should be well
eared for when not in use.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE MOON'5 CHANGES^
13^ 10',?5r^ '^^
There is no object within the scope of astronomical observation which affords greater
variety of interesting investigation than the various phases and motions of the moon.
From them the astronomer ascertains the form of the earth, the vicissitudes of the tides,
the causes of eclipses and occultations, the distance of the sun, and consequently, the
magnitude of the solar system. The philosophy of the changes or phases of the moon
is illustrated by the accompaning cut. When the moon, after having been in conjunc-
tion with the sun, emerges from his rays, it first apears in the evening, a little after sun-
set, like a line luminous orescent, with its convex side towards the sun. If we observe
it the next evening, we find it about thirteen degrees farther east of the sun than on the
preceding evening, and its crescent of light sensibly increased. Repeating these observa-
tions, w^e perceive that it departs farther and farther from the sun as its enlightened sur-
face comes more and more into view, until it arrives at its first quarter aT d comes to the
meridian at sunset. It has then finished half its course from the new to the full moon,
and half its enlightened hemisphere is turned towards the earth. After its first quarter it
appears more and more gibbous as it recedes farther and father from the sun, until it has
completed just half its revolution around the earth and is then seen rising in the east
when the sun is setting in the west. It then presents its enlightened orb full to our view,
and it is said to be in opposition; because it is then on the opposite side of the earth from
the sun. In the first half of its orbit it appears to^ pass over our heads through the up-
per hemisphere; it now descends below the eastern horizon to pass through that part of
its orbit which lies in the lower hemisphere. Ajfter its full it wanes througli the same
changes of appearance as before, but in an inverted order; and we see it in the morning
like a fine thread of light a little to the west of the rising sun. For the next several days
it is lost to our view, rising and setting in conjunction with the sun; after which it passes
over to the east side of the sun and we behold it again a new moon. In changing sides
with the sun it changes also the direction of its crescent. Before its conjunction it was
turned to the east; whereas it is now turned towards the west. These different ap-
pearances of the moon are called its phases, and they prove that it shines not by light of
its own, for if it did, being globular, we should always see it a full round orb like the sun.

TEETHINA
i ^
Atlanta, Ga., November 19, 1902.
We have handled Dr. Moffet's TEETHINA (Teething Powders) ever since
its first introduction to the public and trade as a Proprietary Medicine, and our
trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until our orders now amount
to two or three hundred gross per year, which is a very strong evidence of its
merit and the satisfaction it is giving to the mothers of the country, for they
say that nothing so effectually counteracts the effects of the summer's hot sun
or overcomes so quickly the troubles incident to teething.

Office of D. H. Hardy, Sec. of State,
Austin, Tex., November 21, 1902,
I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for my
teething children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every succeeding
day warned us that we would inevitrbly lose him. I happened upon TEETHINA
and began at once administering it to him, and his improvement was marked in
24 hours, and from that day on he recuperated. I have constantly kept it and
used it since with my children, and have taken great pleasure in sounding its
praises to all mothers of young children. I found it invaluable even after the
teething period was passed. Mrs. D. H. HARDY.

and strong, often marching for days with their babies upon their backs. In
fact, they frequently go the day before and after confinement, with their tribes,
upon the march. These women acquire this great strength and power of en-
durance by using a weed that grows in their locality, out of which a medicine

ECLIPSES or THE SUN,
fcF)'3
%JrC^^
Of all the pbenomena of the heavens there are none which engage the attention of
mankind more than eclipses of the sun and moon In the early ages of antiquity they
Svere regarded as alarming deviations from established laws of nature, presaging great
public calamities and other tokens of the divine displeasure. An eclipse of the sun takes
place, as will be seen from the above cut. when the dark body of the moon passing di-
rectly between the earth and the sun intercepts his light. This can happen only at the
instant of new moon, or when the moon is in conjunction : for it is only then that it passes
between us and the sun. The obscuration of the sun may be partial or complete accord-
ing as the moon happens to come partially or directly in line with the sun and earth. If
the sun and moon were both, of the same magnitude, the form of the shadow cast by the
moon would be that of a cylinder of the same diameter as the sun and the moon, in which
event an eclipse of the sun would last very much longer than at present, and farther-
more, would be total to all parts of the earth at a given time. In like manner, if the
moon were larger than the sun, the shadow would continually diverge and grow larger
and larger, thereby rendering the eclipse of still longer duration. But the magnitude of
the sun is so much greater than that of the moon that the shadow that the moon casts
must converge to a point in the form of a cone. The moon's path around the earth is not
performed in a perfect circle and, therefore, it is at times a little nearer the earth than
at other times. When the sun is at his greatest distance from the earth and the moon at
its least distance, the shadow of the moon is sufificiently long to reach the earth and even
extend some thousands of miles beyond. But when the sun is at his least distance from
the earth and the moon at its greatest, its shadows will lack some thousands of miles of
reaching to the earth. And w-hen the sun and moon are at their mean distances, the
cone or the moon's shadow will terminate just a little before it reaches the earth. In the
former case, if a conjunction takes place when the center of the moon comes in a direct
line between the centers of the sun and earth, the dark shadow of the moon will fall cen-
trally upon the earth, and cover a circular area of about 175 miles in diameter. To all
places lying in this dark spot, the sun will be totally eclipsed.
Although a central eclipse of the sun can never be total to any spot on the earth more
than about 175 miles broad : yet the territory over which the sun will be more or less
partially eclipwsed, is nearly 5,000 miles broad. The greatest possible time during which
the sun can be totally eclipsed to any part of the world, is only about seven or eight
minutes. Eclipses of the sun always begin on his western edge and end on hie eastern.

ECLIPSES OF THE MOON
#
An eclipse of the moon takes place, as will be seen from the above cut, when the
dark body of the earth, coming between it and, the sun, intercepts his light, and throws
a shadow on the moon. This can happen only at the tiaie of a full moon, or when the
moon is in opposition; for it is only then that the earth is between it and the sun. The
least number of eclipses which can occur in any year is two and the greatest number is
seven. In the former case they will both be of the sun, and in the latter case there will
be five of the sun and two of the moon — those of the moon being total The usual num-
ber, however, is four, two of the sun and two of the moon. A partial eclipse of the moon
usually occurs about two weeks before or after a total eclipse of the sun. A partial
eclipse of the sun will always occur about two weeks before or after a total eclipse of the
moon. The greatest possible time during which the moon can be totally eclipsed is
nearly two hours. All eclipses of the moon commence on its eastern edge and end on its
western. Eclipses occur in regular order or cycles and can be easily computed by any
one at all conversant with astronomy. Long before the beginning of the Christian era
the Chaldean astronomers had discovered a rough and ready method of predicting eclip-
ses, which after the lapse of thousands of years is still of value and interest. To apply
this method we simply have to start from any eclipse whatsoever and calculate backward
or forward from that date by subtracting or adding eighteen years and ten or eleven days,
and we will have a recurrence of thes ame eclipse, for the reason that the sun, moon and
earth regularly return at the end of this period to the same position with respect to each
other. This period of eighteen years and ten or eleven days was called by the Chaldeans
"8aros" an ancient word which means cycle or repetition. If, therefore, to the mean
time of any eclipse of the sun or moon we add the Chaldean period of eighteen years and
ten or eleven days we will have a return of the same eclipse and this mode of predicting
them w ill hold good for ages to come. When four leap years occur in this Chaldean
period, we add eighteen years and eleven days; but when five leap years happen in this
period we add only eighteen years and ten days. So due heed must be paid to the number
of leap years in applying the "Saros" to the prediction of eclipses.

OBSERVATIONS.
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the
fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The spacje for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more frost or wet weather may tx
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. Thes<
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they afitect Spring and Autumn nearly in thi
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon houK
i. e., rrom four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as U
noted in the table.

OPIUM AND WHISKEY HABITS
PERMANENTLY
CORED AT YOUR HOME.
If you are addicted to these habits you think
you will quit it. You won't; you can't unaided;
but you can be cured and restored to health and
vigor without pain or the loss from business at a
moderate cost. The medicine builds up your
health, restores the nervous systeriQ to its normal
condition, you feel like a different person from
the beginning of ti-eatraent, leaving off the opiates
after the first dose. You will soon be convinced
and satisfied in your own mind that you will be
cured.
Mr. T. M. Bi'own, of Dequeen, Ark., says: "Over
seven years ago I was cured of the opium habit
by your medicine and have continued in the very
best of health since. "
Dr. W. M. Tunstall, of Lovingston, Va., says: "I
am glad to say that I firmly believe that i am en-
tirely and permanently cured of the drink habit,
as have never even so much as wanted a drink in
any form since I took your eradicator, now eigh-
teen months ago. It was the best money I ever
invested."
Mrs. Virginia Townsend, of Shreveport, La.,
writes: "No more opium. I have taken no other
remedy than yours and I make no mistake when
I say my health is better now than it ever was in
my life, and I owe it to you and your remedy. It
has been twelve years since I was cured by your
treatment."

The interest of farmers and merchants
are identical, and cannot be separated.
When farmers benefit themselves, they will
benefit the merchants. You cannot elevate
one man by pulling down another man, nor
elevate one class by pulling down another
class. The farmers cannot war on other
classes, but they caij wage war on slothful-
ness and apathy.
FAMOUS MEN'S "LAST WORDS."
•'Last words" of great men are usually
faked. I believe Tom Ochiltree was one of
the greatest men that ever lived — the great-
est in managing to get along on nothing.
When the old fellow was on his last lega a
Catholic priest was called in to administer
extreme unction. At the conclusion of the
rite he said: "Now, colonel, you are al>-
solved. You may rest quite easy. Every-
thing is wiped out. You will have a white
robe and a pure spirit in which to enter the
heavenly gates." The gallant old Texan,
rolling over on his side, remarked in a voice
shaking with emotion: "Then you can tell
the devil to go to hell I" Within three min-
utes he was dead.
Horace Greeley was one of the most pro-
fane men that ever lived. Cursing was sec-
ond nature to him. He even called himself
names that would cause a duel in the south
if applied to a friend or enemy. When he
realized that he was dying, he said aloud:
"Well, the devil's got you at last, you
damned old — ." A week after the funeral
his daughter. Miss Gabrielle Greeley, wrote
to Whitelaw Reid, the young editor in the
Tall Tower (Tribune) to know what were
the last words of her father. Reid wrote
back: "Your dear father's last words were,
'I know that my Redeemer liveth.'"
AN IMPOSTER.
The reporter — "He says he's from Ken-
tucky.'*
The editor — x>ut he never shot anybody,
and I can't recall his name on any of the
state tickets.
Lady — "Yes, I want a housemaid. But
why did you leave your last place?"
Servant — -"B-because the head of the
house kissed me, ma'am."
Lady — "And you objected, eh?"
Servani^-"Well— er— his wife did!"
LIVELY HOME.
In the heart of the great pine forest we
found the old man sitting by his cabin door.
"But it is so quiet here," he said, "it is a
wonder you don't feel lonesome."
The old man dropped his corncob in his
astonishment.
"Quiet, did you say ? Why, boss, I hab a
wife, a mule en a phonograph."
Mother— Now, Bobby, you must not got
into any fights with the neighbors' children.
Bobby — But, mamma, I've got to get ac-
quainted with them some way.

Witness Was On Oath.
A good legal story is told in Blackwood's
of an encounter between counsel and wit-
ness A counsel liad been cro.-'s ^v.uiiining
a witness for some time with very little
effect, and had sorely taxed the patience of
the judge,, the juiy and everyone in coiirt.
At last the judge interrupted with an im-
perative hint to the learned gentleman to
coi'clude his cross-examination. The ouiin-
t,el who received this judicial intimatior
with a very, bad grace, before telling the
witness to stand down, accosted him with
the parting sarcasm, "Ah, you're a clever
fellow, a very clever fellow. We can all see
that!" The witness, bending over from the
box, quietly retorted, "I \vould return the
compliment — if I were not on oath!"
Said O'Raferty: "I have heard Murphy's
death reported so often and found it to be
false, that I am resolved not to credit it
until I hear it from his own lips."
Wants Too Much.
"I've got a purty tuff case on hand fur
you," said the old man, as he entered a
lawyer's office and deposited his hat on the
floor.
"Well?"
"Me'n the old woman hev had a spat."
"That's too bad."
"But thar's wuss to come. We've agreed
to separate." |
"Ye^, that's worse." \
"But that ain't all the wussness. She
wants what they call alimony."
"How much?"
"Ten dollars, and durn me if I'll pay over
$6. Git ready fur the blamedest, biggest,
lawsuit ever heard of in North America,
and prepare to hang on^ till the last breath
leaves my body!"
O'Toole closed his eyes in front of a
looking glass to see how he looked when
asleep.

found a convenient method. Four per cent.
— Multiply the principal by the number of
days, separate the right hand figure from
the product and divide by nine. Five per
cent. — ^Multiply by the number of days and
divide by seventy-two. Six per cent. — •
Multiply by the number days, separate pie
right hand figure and divide by six. Eight
per cent. — ^Multiply by the number of days
and divide by forty-five.
By planting corn at the earliest safe mo-
ment we not only increase the chances that
the crop will receive the necessary number
of degrees of accumulated heat during the
warm season but the number of hours of
sunshine as well; and, what is of nearly as
much importance, we advance the epocli of
blossoming =everal days, and by so doing
hasten maturity bv several weeks.

MONEY FOR FARMERS
Josh Billings once delivered himself. as
follows ;
*' He who by farming would get rich,
Must.rake and hoe and dig and sich,
Work hard all day, sleep hard allnite,
Save every cent, and not get tite."
Josh ought to have added that he must
also keep up with the times and read the
best farm papers.
Mr. Ashley Home, President of the
State Fair says : "I have other invest-
ments that pay 6 per cent annually, but
my dollar in The Progressive Farmer
pays me 6 per cent every week that
comes."
J. M. Parris, of Jackson County, N. C,
says: "By adopting many valuable sug-
gestions made by the various writers for
The Progressive Farmer, I have been
enabled to greatly improve my farm and
stock and by increased production and
valuation of farm and stock, I ha^^e
made over $100 for each $1 paid out for

of the best investments I ever made."

HISTORY OF THE CALENDAR.
In the early days of mankind the year
was roughly divided into two seasons — sum-
mer and winter — and alter a time spring
and autumn were added. There was ot
course no accuracy about this arrangement,
since tliere is no land where the begiiming
and ending of the seasons can be deter-
mined by personal observation. We speak
of a "late" spring or an "early" winter,
although, in an astronmical sense, the
seasons begin at exactly the same period
every year. But this careless method of
guessing at the seasons was soon supersed-
ed by accurate reckoning. Astronomy is the
oldest of sciences, and before the founda-
tion of the Egyptian pyramids was laid the
period of the* vernal equinox had been
CJilculated. This was fixed as the begin-
ning of the year, and so remained for cen-
turies. Indeed, it was not until the eigh-
teen Lh century that January was univer-
sally adopted by European nations as the
first month of the year. But the old Ro-
mans, as early as 251 B. C, had January
and February introduced into the calendar
by Numa, and the next revision did not oc-
cur until the time of Julius Caesar, and not
before it was needed. The calendar had
fallen into great confusion, the ruler in
power changing the ength of years to suit
his own arrangements, or even his personal
convenience, intercalating days and even
months. Julius Caesar saw the trouble,
but was powerless to rearrange the dis-
turbed seasons, and therefore called to his
assistance Sosogines, a Greek astronomer.
SobOgines found that, by taking any point
in tiie son's path as a starting point, it
takes the sun three hundred and sixty-five
days, five hours, forty-eight minutes, forty-
nine nnd seven-tenths seconds to return to
that point. But this would not do for ex-
act division, as there would be the loss of
nearly a quarter of a ^ny every year; so
Sosogines proposed that every fourth year
should have throe hundred and sixty-six
days. Caesar accepted the sucrgestion and
issued the decree, thus mnkincr the first
leapyear, which was 44 B. C the first Jul-
ian ypar being 40 B. C. Caesar also ordered
in order to re^^tore the vernal equinox to
the time occunied in the days of Numa. that
Im'o extraordinary months be inserted be-
tween November and December of tlie cur-
rent year. Those, with th,e intorr>filary
ni'iPth made 47 B. C. a year of four hun-
dred and iortv-five da vs. He nlso ordf^rod
that tlie first, third, fifth. soA'onth. ninth
and p'lovfnth months should contain thirty-
onc days and all the months thirty, except

February, which had twenty-nine. In leap-
}ear, however, it also had thirty. This was
a sensible arrangement and very easy to
remember, quite unlike the pieseut one,
which no one can remember without going
over the old rhyme about "Thirty days
hath September," etc. But the vanity of
the Emperor Augustus spoiled the plan.
He could not bear to see August — which he
called "his month" — containing less daya
than July, which was nam^d after Julius
Caesar, so he tok ad ay notf rom January
or March, butf rom poor lobruary, making
August thirty-one and reducing February
to twenty-eight. It was a cumbrous ar-
rangement, but it is not likely to be
changed after all these years. The Julian
calendar ruled the world for more than six-
teen hundred years, and then another re-
vision bcame necessary. In spite of the
addition of one day every fourth year, tliere
was an error of eleven minutes and some
seconds every year, which in one hundred
and lv.enty-(-ight 3'ears amounted to nn en-
tire day. This had the elTect of throwing
back the vernal equinox ten days since
Sosogines devised his plan. Pope Gregory
XITI, corrected this error by omitting tea
days, and,' to obviate the recurrence of the
error, he made a nile that centuri:)! years
should not be l#ap-years unless divisible by
four hundred. Thus IHOO and 2000 ore leap-
years, wliile 1700, ISOO, and 1000 nre not.
By this plan the solar and civil year difTer
by only twonty-six seconds, whirh would
only amount to a sinsilo dny in three thou-
pf.Tid thre hundred and twenty-throe years,
r.nd even this slicrht error is corroffod by
makiu'T Ihc year four thousand and all ita
mu'tiples common years — that is, not leap-
years.

HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT.
Lard may me made perfectly sweet by
boiling a pared potato in it.
If sassafras is sprinkled among dried
fruit it will keep out the worms.
Mildew is removed by rubbing on common
yellow soap, then a little salt and starch.
A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with
white clothes will aid in the whitening pro-
cess.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine better
than when cleaned with flannel.
Paint on windows can, it is said, be re-
moved by melting some soda in very hot
water, and washing them with it, using a
soft flannel.
j-verosene will soften boots and shoes that
have been hardened by water, and render
them as pliable as new.
To prevent the smell of paint put a hand-
ful of hay in a bucket of water, and let it
stand in the room over night.
To take ink out of linen, dip the ink
spot in pure melted tallow; then wash out
the tallow and the ink will come out with
it. This is unfaiung.
A few drops of ammonia In a cup of "vrarp^
rain water, carefully applied with a wet
sponge, will remove the spots irom paint*
ings and cromos.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some time
if a pinch of soda or saltpetre is added to
the water. Wilted roses will regain their
freshness if dipped a minute or two in hot
water.
Beeswax and salt make rusty flatirons as
clean and smooth a« glass. Tie a lump of
wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose.
When the irons are hot, rub them with the
wax rag, then iscour with a paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.
To prevent rust, melt together three parts
of lard and one part of resin in the pod we
A very thin coating applied with a brush
will preserve stoves and grates from rusting
during summer, even in damp situations.
For this purpose a portion of black lead
may be added.
To remove iron rust or ink spots, moisten
the spots, and aoply salts of lemon until
they disappear, and then rinse well. Salts
of lemon are made of equal parts of oxalic
acid and tartaric acid. Another way is to
moisten with lemon juice, sprinkle well with
salt, and lay in the sun.
It is said that if lamp chimneys, tumb-
lers, or other glass dishes are placed in cold
water, with a cup of table salt to each quart
of water, which is brought slowly to a boil
and boiled a half hour, then allowed to cool
in the water, they wiU resist any sudden
changes of temperature without cracking.
MEDICAL RECEIPTS.
\^'et tobacco applied to a bee sting will
give instant relief.
The white of two eggs will render the
deadly corrosive sublimate as harmless as
a dcse of calomel.
Wash the hair in cold sage tea; it wiU
keep the hair from falling out.
For a sore throat cut slices of boneless
bacon, pepper tmckly, and tie around the
throat with a flannel cloth.
For a . cold in the chest, a flannel rag
wrung out in boiling water, and sprinkled
with turpentine laid on the chest, gives the
greatest relief.
A hornet's nest that has been deserted by
the hornets, bound on the throat with a
piece of flannel, will cure the most malig-
nant sore throat.
Half a teaspoonful of common table salt
dissolved in a little cold water and drank
instantly relieve heartburn.
The fumes of burning coffee are a power-
ful disinfectant. Pound the coffee in a
mortar and then strow It on a hot iron
plate, which, however, must not be red hot.
The best treatment in regard to offensive
breath is the use of powdered charcoal, two
or three tablespoonfnls per week, taken ill
a glass of water before retiring for the
night.
Persons inclined to consumption — those
with feeble di^^estion, aged people, and those
inclined to chilliness, are especially benefit-
ted by a liberal use of sweet cream.
For a cough boil one ounce of flaxseed ia
a pint of water, strain and add a little
honey, one ounce of rock candy and the
juice of three lemons; mix and boil well.
Drink as hot as possible.
Equal parts of ground mustard and flotur
made into a paste with warm water, and
spread between two pieces of muslin, forms
the indispensable mustard plaster
In severe paroxysms in coughing, either
in coughs, colds, or consumption, one or two
tablespoonfuls of pure glycerine in pure
whisky or hot, rich cream will afford almost
immediate relief
Nothing is better for sore throat than a
gargle of salt and water. It may be used
as often as desired, and if a little is swal-
lowed each time it is used it will cleanse the
throat and aUay the irritation.
There is nothing that will so promptly
cut short congestion of the lungs, sore
thrat or rheumatism as hot water when ap-
plied promptly and thoroughly. Pieces of
cotton batting dipped in hot water, and
kept applied to sores and new cuts, bruises
and sprains, is the treatment adopted in
Man^ bospitale.

USELESS FRUIT.
Among the useless fruit borne by the
tree of knowledge may be mentioned:
1. The agnostic who knows too much to
know anything for a certainty.
2. The "sport" who knows only how to
look knowing.
8. The "criminally insane" individual who
knows that he can get off because he didn't
know any better.
4. The youth who knows more at 15 than
kijs fatlier at 50.
5. The man who knows how to make such
good excuses that he needs to know noth-
ing ehe.
6. The scholar who knows a great deal,
but knows not how to use his knowledge.
7. The society bud who knows how to
Icok so charmingly free of all knowledge.
8. The "gentleman" who knows that his
father's money supplies the place of knowl-
edge in his place.
9. The tramp who knows that society
owes him a living, but knows not how to
collect it.
10. The office-seeker who knows that if
he knows how to get the right job, he won't
need to know how to fill it.
11. The sensation-seeker who is interest-
ed only in what she ought not to know.
12. The workman who knows a little of
many trades, but knows none well.
13. The doctor who knows how to diag-
nose his patients's pocketbook instead of
his disease.

THE IMPORTANCE AND ECONOMY OF
THE TURNIP CROP.
There is no crop that the farmer puts into
the ground that pays better than the tur-
nip. Nor is there any other stock feed that
can bo produced in such great abundance, at
such little cost, with such little exertion
and in so short a time as this root crop.
We ask any farmer to name any other crop,
M'luch in a few weeks after sowing will give
him a yield of from ten to thirty tons per
acre ot fresh succulent feed for his stock
with so little expense. It was the remark
of England's greatest political economist
that "Great Britain could better afford to
lose her navy than her turnip crop;" and we
might say that the farmer who keeps stock
could better afford to lose any other crop
tlmn this. All kinds of stock relish turnips
and thrive upon them when in combination
with hay or chops, and in a higher degree
than any other root crop, hence their uni-
versal popularity in all stock-raising com-
munities. Furthermore, all experience
proves that hogs, sheep, cattle, and even
horsee, are healthier and more vigorous
when plentifully fed on a mixed feed of
succulent and farinareous food than on fari-
r. a ceo us food alone. As a supplement crop,
it is put in at a time when the hurrying
season is over, and as long as it lasts it
lengthens out the corn, oats and hay, a
most important matter with those who do
not raise a full supply of these crops.
Pi'eparations for the crop to be sown in
August should be made early, and for a
variety of superior excellence and specially
adapted to the Southern climate by virtue
of its origin, the "Southern Prize Turnip"
is from the testimony we have beyond all
question the best kind of plant for a car-
tain and large crop, and of superior quality.
After thorough trial for many years, the
following points of excellence are claimed
for it, viz: It has no equal for root or
salad; it stands extreme heat and cold; it
is superior to the Northern turnip; they do
not pith or become spongy as other turnips;
it produces salad two weeks earlier than
any other turnip; insects do not injure this
as tliey do other varieties; it produces more
salad than any other turnip; it produce* a
larger root than any other turnip; it is the
bcdt turnip for winter use in the market;
for general farm market purposes it hai no
equal in the South.
Southern Prize Turnip
HAS STOOD THE TEST FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP is an entirely new variety, and the credit of its
origination belongs to North Carolina.
THE SOUTHERN PRIZE is a hybrid, and originated many years ago by a horticul-
turist of Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe and Seven Top, or
salid turnip. The result is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, and which
for size, flesh flnvor, hardness and salad, is without an equal In fact, it was found so
superior to all othor varieties, and. so well adapted to our Southern climate that the seed
sold when first introduced at the extraordinary rate of FIFTY DOLLARS PER POUND,
and was called the Fifty Dollar Turnip.
Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is not affected by insects. Nor
(Joes it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keeps sound, sweet and juicy.
It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and two
weeks earlier than any other variety. It stands extreme heat or cold. As to production,
they are very prolific, yielding large crops; and as to size, they have measured twenty-
nine inches in circumference. Asa farmer expressed it, "they are just large enough."
t^*"All seed deteriorate unless kept up to their original standard. The seed from year
to year have been kept up to their original purity and excellence, and we offer the Genu-
ine Southern Prize Turnip Seed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 1904. They are worth
double any other variety. These seed are grown specially for us for over twenty years by
*n experienced horticulturist, who succeed d the originator of the seed, and who grows
them upon the same farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered.

among the growing crops, and any farmer
who permits quantities of foul herbage to
grow around the outside of his fields, in the
corners or any parts of his farm, is no pa-
triot, no man worthy of admiration or to fee
influenced by it in any way.

ZOE3 lO CJESr^'^FS,
This Almanac Is calculated for the State of North Carolina only. All the astronomical phenomena
and data have been arranged expressly for this State. Other almanacs which have caloula-.
tions for a dozen different States are not reliable as to exact time for North Carolina.
2 TUENEK'S E^ORTH CAR0LI:N'A ALMA:^rAC.
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1905 for the year 1906, by The Enistiss Publishtnq
Company, in the office of the JLiibrarian of Congress at Washington.
4^NoTE.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C. ALMANAC, in honor of the lat»
Hbnry D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it in
the year 1838. In 1867, Mr. James H. Enniss, succeeded Mr. Turner in the publication of the Almaimc,
and under his administration was issued regularly untiJ his death in May, 1900. Since that time the
Almanac has been issued under the name of the EJnniss Publishing Company, by Pinck. C. i^nniss.
EXPLANATIONS AND REMARKS.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solax
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set t© agree Wtth
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all otla»r
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this differ-
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on i-ailroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh toy
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."1 ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
RISING AND SETTING OF THE SUN.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
incorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. vThe times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

TIDES.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of the
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for Southport. N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

THE LENGTH OF DAYS.
At London, England, and Bremen, Prussia,
the longest day has six;feeen and a half
hours. At Stockholm, Sweden, the longest
day has eighteen and a half hours. At
Hamburg and Dantzic, Germany, the long-
est day has seventeen hours, and the short-
est seven hours. At St. Petersburg, Russia,
and Tobolsk, Siberia, the longest day has
nineteen hours, and the shortest five hours.
At Tornea, in Finland, the longest day has
twenty-one hours anl a half, and the short-
est two hours and a half. At Wardhuys, in
Norway, the day lasts from the 21st of
May to the 22d of July without interrup-
tion; and at Spitzbergen the longest day
is three and a half months. At New York,
the longest day has fourteen hours and
fifty-six minutes. At Montreal, the longest
day has fifteen and a half hours; and at
Raleigh, N. C, the longest day has fourteen
hours and twenty- eight minutes.
HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
The hottest place on earth is said to be
one of the Aval Islands, which cover a fairly
extensive area of the Persian Gulf, lying off
the southwest coast of Persia. It is the
largest of them which enjoys the doubtful
distinction of leading all perspiring compet-
itors in the matter of heat. The mean tem-
perature of Bahrein for the entire year is
99 degrees. July, August and September
are unendurable, save for the natives. Night
after night as midnight comes the ther-
mometer shows 100 degrees. By seven in
the morning it is 107 degrees or 108 degrees,
and by three in the afternoon 140 degrees.
THE COLDEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
The coldest city in the world is Yakutsk,
Eastern Siberia, in the empire of the Czar
and the Russians. It is the great commer-
cial emporium of East Siberia and the cap-
ital of the province of Yakutsk, which, in
most of its area of 1,517,063 square miles, I
is a bare desert, the soil of which is frozen
to a great depth. Yakutsk consists of about
400 houses of European structure, standing
apart. The intervening spaces are occu-
pied by winter yoorts, or huts of the North-
ern Nomads, with earthen roofs, doors cov-
ered with hairy hides, and windows of ice.
Caravans with Chinese and European goods
' collect the produce of the whole line of
coast on the Polar Sea between the paral-
lels of 70 degrees and 74 degrees, from the
mouth of the river Lena to the farthest
point inhabited by the Chookchees. Last
year a colporteur of the British and For-
eign Bible Society made a tour of eleven
weeks down the Lena, a river 3,000 miles
long, visiting Yakutsk, and selling gospels
in their own language to the Yakuts in the
villages along the banks.

OBSERVATIONS.
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight/the
fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more frost or wet weather mayj>e
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn nearly in the
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, fuU and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours
i. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as is
noted in the table.
TURJSTER'S ISrORTH CAROLmA ALMANAC,
S
WHERE THE DAY BEGINS.
According to the way in which this ar-
rangement is now carried out, the first land
that the new day dawns upon is Easter
Island, about 230 miles west of the coast of
Chili, South America. That is to say, the
2d day of July breaks here within a few
jiours of the 1st, having broken on the
American coast to the east, and the two
days run on alongside the 2d in Easter Is-
land and places west, the 1st in all places
on the American continent. We may,
therefore, realize the idea — -that at 7:20
o'clock any morning of our lives in Great
Britain, the next day is commencing in the
world, and is to be found at this little
island in the Pacific Ocean, whence, in due
course, it will travel around to us. But to
have thus the start of the world is not an
unmitigated advantage to these islanders.
Suppose one of them sails east to America,
what is the result? He will find that they
keep the day there under a different date,
and he will have to reckon one day in his
calendar tmce over to put himself right
with their notions. On the other hand, if
an American crosses from east to west this
wonderful magic line where the day begins
he wiU find the dates in this fresh part of
the world are one day in advance of him,
and he must needs strike a day out of his
calendar to keep up with the times.
FOGS.
Fogs are caused by a chilling of the
air until the vapor contained therein is con-
densed into visible particles, but not suffi-
ciently large to form raindrops. Every par-
ticle of fog and every raindrop has as a
nucleus a microscopic speck of dust around
which the moisture condenses. The chilling
of the air may occur in several different
ways. The most common is by contact with.
the ground which has been cooled by radia-
tion at night. The air next the ground be-
comes chilled and filled with mist. This
chilled air being heavier than the surround-
ing air on account of being cooler and
denser, slides down the hillsides into the
lowest places, where the fog accumulates
and increases in density and depth. These
fogs are known as valley fogs, and are the
most common fogs over land surfaces. Usu-
ally there is water at the bottom of each
valley, and evaporation from this water
helps increase the density of the fog. These
fogs are a great protection to vegetation,
acting like a blanket to prevent further
cooling by radiation, so that the valleys are
frequently saved from destrlictive frosts in
summer or early autumn. These are night

fogs, and usually disappear soon after sun-
rise
Another class of fogs is where the fog
comes with a gentle north or northwest
^vind in late autumn and in winter. In
this case it is found that above the shallow
northerly current there is blowing a warm
damp current from the south, and the mix-
ture of the lower part of this current with
the cool current from the north causes the
fog.
Still another class of fogs occur in win-
ter, when a warm, damp, southerly wind
blows across a region covered with snow.
These fogs occur when a southerly storm
with a rapid rise of temperature follows a
period of cold weather. They usually last
only a few hours, but may persist during
an entire day.
THE NORTH STAR AND THE DIPPER.
The pole-star is really the most import-
ant of the stars in our sky; it marks the
north at all times; it alone is fixed in the
heavens; all the other stars seem to swing
around it once in twenty -four hours. But
the pole-star, or Polaris, is not a very
bright one, and it would be hard to identify,
but for the help of the so-called pointers
in the "Big Dipper" or "Great Bear." The
outer rim of the Dipper points nearly to
Polaris, at a distance equal to three times
the space that separates the two stars of
the Dipper's outer side. Various Indians
call the pole- star the "Home Star" and "The
Star That Never Moves," and the Dipper
they call the "Broken Back." The Great
Bear is also to be remembered as the Point-
ers for another reason. It is the hour-hand
of the woodman's clock. It goes once
around the north star in about twenty-four
hours, the reverse way of the hands of a
watch; that is, it goes the same way as the
sun, and for the same reason — that it is the
earth that is going and leaving them be-
hind.
THE TIDES.
The tides, which are principally governed
by the moon, are not always equally high,
nor do they happen at equal intervals; for
the position of the moon with respect to the
sun, her declination and her distance from
earth, with various other causes operating
to introduce irregularity, render it ex-
tremely difficult to predict the precise time
of high water. Tides are usually highest
a day or two after new and full moons,
and lowest just after the moon's quadra-
tures. The highest floods and the lowest
ebbs occur at the new and full moons, near
the equinoxes in March and September.

TUEIsTEE'S :N0KTH CAEOLmA ALMAl^AC,
WEATHER FORECASTS FOR JANUARY.— 1st to
2d, blustery; 3d to 4th, cloudy; 5th to 6th, threaten-
ing; 7th to 8th, local storms; 9th to 11th, falling
temperature; 12th to 13th, rain and wind; 14th to

SOth to 31st, foggy conditions.
j^Man has heart conditions and soul needs, which
neither nature, or science, nor Scripture can meet.
Man needs a God. God is everywhere. God is in
the sunlight which bathes us each day with its
warmth and glory. He is in the bread which we
eat.— Selected.
Grace First.
Missionary (meekly) — I have one last re-
quest to make.
Cannibal CMef — ^Name it.
Missionary — I must ask that you say the
burial service as grace before this — er —
rei
Didn't Know.
Ted— I saw Mr. Smith kiss Elsie this af-
ternoon.
Mother (indignantly)— Why didn't you
hurry and call me?
Ted — Why, mama, how could I know that
you wanted to be kissed?
A Foregone Conclusion.
Young Doctor — ^Well, I've got a case at
last. ,^
Young Lawyer — Glad to hear it. When
you get him to the point where he wants a
will drawn, telephone over.
Couldn't Walk.
"Young man," said the pompous individ-
ual, "I did not always have this carriage.
When I first started in life I had to walk."
"You were lucky," chuckled the youth.
"When I first started in life I couldn't
walk."
Conundrums.
Name me and you break me. Silence.
Why is a lamp like a house? Because
it has a chimney.
How far is it from February to April?
A March of thirty-one days.
You can hang me on the wall, but if you
take me down you can't hang me up again.
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy drew-
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and ShaUota.
Lettuce plants from faU sowing transplant. Spinach
may be sown for early spring use. Onions hoe and
all other hardy crops planted in autumn. Peas sow
at intervals; some may be frosted, but try again.
Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may
be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cab-
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
Brain Work in Fanning. — ^Brain work,
and that of the clearest kind, comes into
profitable play quite as well on the farm as
anywhere else. Look ahead, get a fair
view of the position; have ploughing, sow-
ing, harvesting, and selling, all done at the
proper time; never hurry; but always drive
work ahead. Know in the evening what
you intend to do the next day. Have your
rainy -day and your clear- day work designed
beforehand. Always bring into requisition
the full means for compassing the desired
end. In short, study and understand your
business, and you will enjoy it and thrive
on it.
Tobacco Land. — The first thing for the
planter to do is now, at the beginning of
the year, to look around and lay oflf the
amount of land he intends for tobacco, and
then locate it, recollecting that the crop
needs a dry, friable soil. Tobacco can not
successfully be grown upon even moist
land; it must be comparatively dry. Hill-
sides everywhere produce the finest to-
bacco; bottom land the coarsest and heav-
iest. If the planter will at once accept
these two facts, he then can begin his year's
work judiciously and possibly make the
Wall pai)€r. 1 crop a satisfactory success. To those who

with a turkey on it should fall, what would
be the effect on the world? The downfall
of Turkey, the overthrow of Greece, the de-
st motion of China, and the consternation of
Africa.
Pumpkins boiled and mixed with corn

The comb is a true index of the health
of the fowl.

FARM NOTES.
Grasses. — Blue grass does well in the
spring, on rye or wheat; it should not be
pastured the first year, however. It is the
custom with some farmers to sow timothy
and blue grass together, as the latter is ten-
der at first, and is liable to wither in a dry
season if not protected. Orchard grass ia
earlier by about two weeks and does better
in a shaded pasture than blue grass.
Irish Potatoes. — For early crop it is high
time they were planted. The usual practice
is to cut them to two eyes, roll them in
plaster or ashes to absorb the sap, which
renders them less liable to rot, and to drop
the pieces twelve inches apart in the row3
and twenty-seven inches in between the
rows. For field crop, three feet space is not
too much. They should be liberally ma-
nured.
Manure Heap. — As far as possible the
formation of manure heaps in the fields
should be avoided. If formed, the practice
of' turning over the manui'e should be
abandoned, as labor is thus lost and much
manure wasted. The best authorities con-
sider it best to cart the manure direct from
the barnyards upon the land and spread it
at once. The question of immediate plow-
ing in, or covering the manure, is of less
c'onsenuenoe than has generally been im-
agined. On light soils, however, immediate
jjiowing-under is recommended.

SS'Go6 loves all Hia children, and does not love
one less because He has another, or because He has
many millions of children. He loves them all and
has love enough for them all, and He wants His chil-
dren to love each other. — Selected.
She Never Did.
Simpson says that when he asked the
girl who is now his wife to marry him she
said, "I don't mind," and she never has
minded.
What Pa Called Them.
"So you have got twins at your house,"
said Mrs. Bezumbe to little Tommy Sam-
uelson.
"Yes, ma'am, two of ''em."
"What are you going to call them?"
"Thunder and Lightning."
"Why, those are strange names to call
children."
"Well, that's what Pa called them as
soon as he heard they were in the house."
More Time.
Young Housewife — ^What miserable little
eggs again! You really must tell them,
Jane, to let the hens sit on them a little
longer.
Stm AUve.
He — Then this is your final answer. Miss
Jones ?
She— It is.
"You won't have me?"
"I am sorry, but I must decline."
"Then I will do something desperate."
"WTiat will you do?"
"I will make away with myself."
"Oh! don't."
"I will. I'm determined to do it."
"Well, if you are determined, give proof
that you truly love me by insuring your
life in my favor for $20,000 or so before you
commit the desperate deed. I will get
money from Papa to pay the premium."
He left indignantly, and at last accounts
was still alive.
T^'hen a woman weeps scalding tears
some man is going to find himself in hot
water. (
— Let the millionaire keep his millions.
They are all he will ever get out of life.
Nobody sincerely loves bim except for pay.
Garden CaleniAr fer MatcIu
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especially the large York. Fresh beda
of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale and Rhubarb, and
Strawberry set out, plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Com; sow Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Cu-
cumber, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper,
at the close of the month, Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Sharp Tools. — A good grindstone and a
set of files are among the best of farm in-
vestments, especially at this season. The
best of all forehandedness is that which
prepares in advance a full set of good and
sharp tools to work with.
Washouts. — With the return of spring
come floods and freshets, and much damage
will result unless prevented. Washouts qf
roads, fields, yards, etc., may be averted by
providing a number of outlets for the water
at the places where it first gathers.
Seed Beds. — The success of a crop largely
depends upon the proper preparation of
the seed beds. The soil must not only be
loose, deep and mellow, but should contain
all the essential elements of plant food in
an available form. Good crops can not be
raised upon a poorly prepared soil.
Com Crop. — ^Do all the plowing for the
corn crop you can this month, so that it
can be put in good order with the harrow
when desired, or afford you the time to
cross-plow all the rough places, that the
entire field may be in the best tilth for the
reception of the grain when it is time to
plant.
Cleaning Up. — Health as well as looks
demands a general cleaning up of all rub-
bish about the homestead and fields at this
season. Warm, damp weather causes ac-
tive decomposition of all rubbish, and the
gases given off by this are unwholesome.
Rake up the yards, bum all the trash, and
save the ashes. Clean up the manure heaps,
and let off all surface water.
— Where a large niunber of fowls are
kept, a two-story fowl-house is best.

iS3g°The church of to-day is an undying witness of
this faith in the resiurection of Christ, and, there-
fore, in the resurrection of the dead. Even science
goes so far to-day as to assert that the spirit may
be changed, but not destroyed, on the groimd that
since matter is not destroyed, neither can spirit or
personality, the greatest things of all.— Selected.
Airs vs. Cranks.
A young man having asked a girl if he
might go home with her from singing class,
and been refused, said:
"You're as full of airs as a music-box."
"Perhaps so," she retorted, "but if I am
I don't go with a crank."
Unprincipled.
"Yes," said a fashionable lady, "I think
Mary has made a very good match. I heard
that her husband is one of the shrewdest
and most unprincipled lawyers in the pro-
fession, and, of course, he can afford to
gratify her every wish."
A Fatal Mistake.
Buffers — ^What's wrong to-day, Bluffers?
You look blue.
Bluffers — I'll never forgive myself. I
kicked a caller out of my house last night.
"Huh! I've kicked out many a one.
Young fellow, I suppose?"
"No; past middle age."
"WeU, these old codgers have no business
to be coming around sparking young girls.
I kicked out one of that sort last week."
"Yes, but I've found out this man wasn't
courting my daughter. He was after my
mother-in-law."
— ^A good deal of the consolation offered
in the world is about as solacing as the
assurance of the Irishman to his wife when
she fell into the river: "You'll find groimd
at the bottom, my dear."
'—'Said an Irish justice to a blustering
prisoner on trial: "We want nothing from
you, sir, but silence, and very little of
that."
The individual who possesses both dollars
and sense is pretty well equipped for the
battle of life.
— Compression of tlie waist is very dan-
gerous— unless the right young man acts
as the compressor.

Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas, Pota-
toes, Beets, Com, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Cu-
cumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okn,
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery Salsify, Pepper, Lettuce,
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and March
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter use.
Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savoy
Cabbage for plants to be set out in June. Beans may
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head;
draw up earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed last
month should be hoed and thinned. Transplant
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect
fine heads. Citron and Watermelon plant. Small
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminate
weeds. Additional root crop may now be sowa.
Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs. Remember
to keep down the weeds.
Intelligent Fanners. — The farmers who
make the most money, and certainly those
who make the most out of life, are those
who know the most of what others are
doing and of what others are thinking. For
this reason every farmer and every member
of the family should periodically read some
good agricultural paper, because in it will
be found not only what the editor by long
years of experience has learned, but aU
that he can gather from his brother farm-
ers with whom he is daily brought into con-
tact.
The Successful Fanner. — ^A successful,
first-class farmer is worth more to his
neighborhood and State than a dozen poor
ones.
Young cows should not be taught to eat
at milking time, as it will not always be
found convenient to supply food, and they
will be restless without when accustomed
to it.
— ^A tree overloaded with fruit can neither
perfect the fruit nor ripen its wood prop-
erly. A great many trees are annually
ruined by too much cropping.
— No part of the farm pays better than
the land devoted to the garden, yet on no
part is the work more grudgingly given.
— Give the cabbage and cauliflower plants
frequent hoeings.

^•Courage to live, to take up our burden again
and go forward, staggering, stumbling it may be,
but forward; to go back into the fight, though it
seems a losing fight; the courage to assume a great
responsibility aad dare to face a possible crushing
disaster; the courage to live— that is what Christ has
given to men. — Selected.
More Pie.
A naughty boy said to Ms motlier: "You
see, Ma, you're always telling me to be-
have as well to the family as I do to com-
pany, but why don't you behave the same
to me as you do to company, and ask me
to have another piece of pie?"
Fowl vs. Angel.
A little four-year-old being asked by his
mother if he would like to have wings and
be an angel, replied: "No, Ma, I'd rather
be a hawk and live on chickens."
Which One.
A woman, who had buried four husbands,
was sadly contemplating their pictures.
"Your poor dear father is in heaven, I
hope," she said to her little five-year-old.
"Which one, Mamma?" inquired the little
innocent.
"Why, your own, own dear father."
"And are the others all burned up?"
The mother didn't answer the conundrum.
Needs an Amendment.
Client (in Chicago) — ^I want a divorce.
Lawyer — -For what reason?
"My wife can not make good coffee."
"I am sorry, but the law is not broad
enough for a man to get a decree on mere
coffee grounds."
At the Ball.
George (referring to young lady just en-
tering, in evening dress) — Ah, here is some-
thing pretty nice coming in!
Clarence — Something coming out, I should
say.
To remove paint — Sit on it.
A buy- word — "How much?"
A round sum — ^A penny.
— Give me the love of my neighbors on
earth, and the other fellows may have all
the crowns in heaven.
— Strange how a girl loses her appetite
for onions after she falls in love.
Garden Calendar for Ifjiy.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc.,
hoe them frequently and draw earth to the stems;
thin out early planting of Beeta, Carrots, Parsnips,
and Salsify, and sow all Mnda omitted last month.
Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce, Tomato, E^g
Plant from hotbeds to warm borders. Plant Beans,

FARM NOTES.
Pruning. — ^During the last of this month
and the first of June is the most favorable
time for pruning fruit trees. If the limbs
be large, cover the stumps with anything
that will exclude air and water.
Ground-Peas and Chufas. — Should be
planted this month. Manure as for cotton.
Chufas will grow on any kiad of soil — a
moderately sandy one seems to suit them
best. Plant in rows two and a half feet
apart, and make hills one foot apart in the
driU.
Planting. — Do not seek, in case planting
has been delayed, to make up lost time by
slip-shod preparation. Rather still delay,
to secure, by thorough use of the harrow
and roller, the complete pulverization of
the soil which no other after-workings can
attain.
— The value of all manufactured fertiliz-
ers depends upon their solubUity, and these
manures should all be appropriated by the
growing crops. To expect any such ferti-
lizing matter to remain in the ground for
another year is to presume that the ferti-
lizers are not properly manufactured. Bone
dust, however, will remain in the soil sev-
eral years.
— One of the great advantages of drain-
ing the soil is to insure the free access of
oxygen. A plant can not any more live
without oxygen than can an animal. Oxy-
gen is one of the best fertilizersi for by its
action in the soil it prepares the minerals
for food for plants.

SS'The heart is the seat of affection. It is the
spring of all our actions and purposes, the seat of
moral life and character. The inmost and most es-
sential part of the body or system is the heart. It
is the very center of activity. Hence, we see the
great importance of having the heart right, for out
of it are the issues of life. — Selected.
t An Experiment.
f **Dennis, darlint, what is it you're doing?"
"Whist, Biddy, I'se trying an experiment."
"Murther! what is it?"
"What is it, aid you say? Why, it's
giving hot water to the chickens, I am, so
that they'll be after laying boiled eggs."
How Milk is Made.
A town young man went to call at a coun-
try farm-house to see his sweetheart, who
had charge of the dairy. When the old
farmer opened the door, he asked him tim-
idly, "How is the milkmaid?" The old
farmer slammed the door and replied: "Our
milk isn't made — it's got from the cow."
Few Things Girls Don't Know.
He — Of couse you know what a garter-
snake is?
She — If you refer to that representative
of the serpentine family with the same
propensities characteristic to an elastic
band used to retain hosiery in a stationery
position, I do.
A Definition.
Teacher (to pupil) — Johnnie, what is a
demagogue ?
Johnnie — A demagogue is a vessel that
holds wine, gin, whiskey, or any other li-
quor.
— If the love of your neighbor is in your
heart, there is no load in your gun for his
dog.
— The home that never refuses food to the
hungry is offering the best prayer to God.
— To see good in your neighbor is to see
God in His right to justice.
— Now is the time to purchase thermom-
eters for a rise.
An exclamation of joy comes 4th when a

Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed, Summer
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots-
transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons
and Squashes may be planted for a succession, also
Corn. As herbs come into flower thev should be cut
and put into a shady place to dry. 'The chief labor
of the garden had better be directed to what is al-
ready in growth.
FARM NOTES.
Orchard. — Let the pigs have the run of
the orchard. They pick up all the "wind-
falls," and while thus supplying themselves
with food, they are destroying a large crop
of insects that, if spared, may seriously
damage the orchard.
Horses. — Fly-time has come, and unless
some precautions are taken to rid the^
horses of their tormentors, they can not
do a full complement of work. Cleanliness
and darkness in the stables will contribute^
greatly to the comfort of the horses at this
season. Two hours rest at noon will be
well for the horses, giving them time to
eat and opportunity to digest their food.
Ruta-Bagas. — Should be sown this month.
Two pounds of seed per acre should be sown,
and it will be better to sow in drills, either
with a iiand or horse-planter. The rows
may be 27 or 30 inches apart, and 200 lbs.
of superphosphate, drilled with the seed,
will force the crop ahead of the flv. If the
fly attacks them, use finely slacked lime,
dry sifted coal ashes, or soot, freely sifted
over them.
Clover Hay. — Is worth much more when
cut early than when cut late. It is best to
rake up clover before it is completely dried,
and cure it in the cock for at least 24
hours. This method considerably increases
the value of the hay.
Sow plaster, lime or ashes on the recently
mown clover. Let the second crop of old
clover, which is about to die out, mature a
crop of seed. This will so fill the land Avith
clover seed that a good stand may be se-
cured for years afterward without the ad-
dition of any more seed.

a^Every individual is building a character which
will be the bliss or bane of the future life. How
many complain of the hard times they are having
daily. Do not spend time worrying over the past.
To-day is the only time you can call your own. We
should achieve some good deed every day. Time
idled can never be recalled. Be cheerful, have a
good word for your fellow-being and strive to excel!
in all your futxure life.— Selected.
Brutes Can Talk.
"Can brutes talk?" was the question un-
der debate. "I should say they could— my
husband talks," was the answer given by a
woman who owns no plush or fur mantle.
The Only Sure Thing.
"Yes," said Farmer Furrow, after chasing
a chicken clear aroimd a ten-acre lot and
clutching only a handful of feathers, "the
only sure thing in this world is uncertain-
ty/ ^
Well Informed.
"They say Charlie has married. Do you
know his wife? Is she a woman of any
intelligence? Is she well informed?"
"Well informed? Well, I should say so.
She has belonged to the village sewing-
circle for ten years and never missed a
meeting."
A Controlling Feature.
Brown— The facial feature plainly indi-
cate character and disposition. In selecting
your wife were you governed by her chin?
Jones— No, but I have been ever since we
married.
Excuse Me.
The little boy was on his knees in his lit-
tle night-dress saying his prayers, and his
little sister couldn't resist the temptation
to tickle the soles of his little feet. He stood
it as long as he could, and then said:
"Please, God, excuse me while I knock the
stuffing out of Nellie."
— The river of sin is not checked by an
annual riffle of religion.
— The finest music heard in heaven is
made on earth.
— The man who nms from work gets no
rest.
Comb-makers — ^Bees.
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper Plants,
Cauliflower and BrocoH. Sow Carrots and Parsnips
if needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Turnips
may be sown; transplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinach
may be sown toward the last of the month. Irish
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant Beans;
sow Cabbage seed for CoUards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; sow Turnip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for winter use as they come into
flower.
FARM NOTES.
German Millet. — ^May be sown up to first
of August — the later sowings should be on
very rich land, which has been brought into
the finest possible condition by repeated
ploughings and harrowings.
Live Stock. — ^Need some extra care and
attention now; see that working animals
are regularly fed and watered. Put tar iSi
the sheep's troughs to protect them from
the fly. Give hogs green food, or by prefer-
ence the run of a clover field.
Sweet Potatoes. — Slips may still be put
out and make good roots, if the season is
favorable. Vines also may be put out by
laying them in a furrow (not one, but sev-
eral vines side by side) and covering them
with dirt at intervals 18 inches, leaving
patches, corresponding to hills, uncoverecL
Such vines will make the best of seed pota-
toes.
Cotton, — ^Work at longer intervals, and
run the plow quite shallow — frequent and
deep workings now encourage too much
the formation of weed. Wha.t is needed is
a slow, steady growth and forming of fruit.
To this end, a mulch of loose earth, to
counteract heat of the sun and escape of
moisture, is needed; also destruction of all
weeds and grass which can rob the cotton
of its food. Run the ploughs shallow, that
the roots may come near the surface and
draw upon the upper as well as the deeper
portions of the soil.
— Give your fowls all the exercise you
can, even if they have only an hour's run
outside of the yard. They will do much
better by it.

j^TThere is no more pathetic figure in the world
of to-day than the shilly-shally youth cuddling in
the lap of wealth and shrinking from life's combat.
We are not wooden dummies, but mxist be men of
granite, against whom the leaping waves and moun-
tainous surges shall beat only to recoil in impotent
fury. The need of this hour is strong manhood.—
Selected.
A Queer Religion.
"Has your Ma got religion?" asked Uttle
Nettie.
"Yes, of course," replied Eddie.
"I didn't know but she hadn't any, she
speaks so sharp and ugly to you some-
times," continued Nettie.
"Oh," exclaimed Eddie, brightening up,
"I guess she's got that kind— the religion
of the cross."
Wrong Kind of a Check.
"Yoimg man," said the banker, "I've de-
cided that it's about time for me to put a
check to your aspirations toward the hand
of my daughter."
"Oh, thank you, sir. But wouldn't it be
better to wait till after we are married,
then the check could come as a wedding
present. It would save my feelings a great
deal."
How it is Done.
Son — ^Papa, how do they catch lunatics?
Cynical Father — ^With large straw-hats
and feathers and white dresses, jewelry and
neat gloves, my boy.
Mamma (musingly — -Yes, I remember that
time how I dressed before we were mar-
ried.
A Business Term.
Clara — How comfortable pants must be.
Wish I was a man.
Her mother — ^^ly dear, you shock me.
You should say trousers.
"I don't care. Charlie always says
pants."
"You forget that Charlie works in a
clothing store.'*
— The wise man who has anything to say
to a mule says it to his face.
— After a man nins into debt he either
walks out or stays in.
A growing industry — 'Farming.
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peaa and Beans, prepare grovmd for Turnips,
Spinach, Shallot, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early I)warf and Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Ctollard seed, earth up Celery, Broccoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stand winter, Carrots sow. Squashes
sow. Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table use at inter-
vals. Potatoes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill
for- heading; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for
winter supply, but as the seed vegetate with diffi-
culty at tiiis season, repeat until successful; cut sage
and other herbs, gather seed and prepare ground for
late crops.
FARM NOTES.
Orchard. — Look out for web worms; cut
off the branches attacked and burn. If
trees set this spring suffer from drouth in
spite of the mulching, remove the mulch,
water and then replace. Fallen fruit give
the pigs or let them have the run of the
orchard.
Wheat. — Preparation should now be made
for this crop. Wheat should follow some
crop of clean cultivation, or a green fallow
crop, as clover, peas, or good sod. Deep
plowing, when the soil will admit of it, is
advisable, especially stiff clay lands, in
which case use a sub- soil plow. Pulverize
the soil. Use the harrow, the best imple-
ment for fining the soil we know of. Do
not plow manure too deep, as the roots of
wheat are surface feeders.
Turnips. — Every farmer ought to sow tur-
nips, as they are a quick and cheap crop,
saves other feed and are greatly promotive
of the health of stock. For stock and table
purposes we can confidently recommend the
Southern Prize turnip as the best variety
for Southern culture. Superphosphate of
lime is a special fertilizer for turnips, and
proportion per acre from 300 to 500 pounds.
One pound of seed per acre when sown
broadcast. See article Turnip Crop in this
Almanac.
— "When hens lay soft eggs stop their com
diet and change to wheat and oats. There
is nothing, however, so good as a change of
food every two or three days.

^^Christ is the shadow of a great rock in life's
weary land. Christ is the rock of ages in which all
men may hide. Christ is the rock that is higher than
all of oiu" loftiest conceptions and noblest aspirations.
He is indeed the chief comer-stone, elect, precious. —
Selected.
Hand vs. Shingle.
''Which do you like best — your father or
your mother?" inquired a visitor of a little
chubby boy.
"Oh, I likes Ma the best. She spanks me
with the soft side of her hand; Pa takes a
shingle."
Lucy Grey Won.
A preacher who once went to a parish
where the parishioners bred horses, was
asked to invite the prayers of the congrega-
tion for Lucy Grey. He did so. They prayed
three Sundays for Lucy Grey. On the fourth
he was told he need not do it any more.
"Why," said the preacher, "is she dead?"
"No," answered the man, "she won the
Derby."
A Mathematical Boy.
"Now, in order to subtract," explained
a teacher to the class in mathematics,
things have to be always of the same de-
nomination. For instance, we couldn't take
three apples from four boys, nor six horses
from nine dogs."
A hand went up in the back part of the
room. "Teacher," shouted a small boy,
"can't you take four quarts of milk from
three cows?"
Practical Theology.
Two well-known clergymen lately missed
their train, upon which one of them took
out his watch and finding it to blame for
the mishap, said he would no longer have
any faith in it.
"But," said the other, "isn't it a question
not of faith, but of works?"
Satisfactorily Explained.
"Say, Sam! when you proposed to Miss
Shekels, did you get down on your knees?"
"No, oM man, I couldn't. She was sitting
on them."
— A cat will not look at a king if theVe is
mouse in sight.
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the Pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may
be transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
Rye. — ^Rye ought to be in as soon as possi-
ble. Careful preparation of the land, and
some extra fertilizer, especially of a kind
that contains considerable nitrogenous mat-
ter, may make up for late sowing.
Winter Wood. — Get up the winter's wood
for fuel or kindlings, and let it be season-
ing, as soon as possible and put it under
cover in time to be dry when used. It will
of course season or dry much faster when
split fine.
Fattening Hogs. — ^Hogs for fattening
ought soon to be put into their pens, the
early fall being the best time to have them
begin to lay on their fat. Those who delay
till severe winter will find a much larger
quantity of corn is required than would
have been earlier.
Picking Cotton. — In sections where cotton
is largely grown cotton picking must still
be the ruling interest. It should be put
through as rapidly as possible, especially
if the weather is inclined to be wet, as wet
weather soon stains and damages open cot-
ton exposed to it.
Com Stalks.— They are fully worth the
cost of putting in the crop if cut up fine
and mixed with other feed, and therefore
should not be left in the field as a waste
product. Careful experiments place well-
cured corn-stalks as worth about three-
fifths as much as hay.
— 'September calves escape the trying heat
of summer, and can be pushed through the
winter with grain.

WEATHER FORECASTS FOR OCTOBER.— 1st to
3d, mild and dry; 4th to 5th, unsettled; 6th to 7th,
threatening; 8th to 9th, local disturbances; 10th to
11th, "Indian Summer"; 12th to 13th, dry and smoky;
14th to 15th, threatening; 16th to 17th, local show-

storm wave.
iS^Remember that neither truth or reform are
achieved instantly. There is many a backward move-
ment of the spring after the sun has crossed the line.
Many a cold, drear day in the sunny month of June.
Many an early frost that blights our hopes and chills
the opening rose. But with all the drawback spring
moves forward and summer dawns and fulls. — Se-
lected.
Too Handsome.
"Why did you leave your last place?" in-
quired a young housekeeper about to en-
gage a new servant.
"Why, you see, ma'am," replied the ap-
plicant, "I was too good looking, and when
I opened the door folks took me for the
missus."
No Relation.
"Hans," said one German to another in
the streets, "what are you crying about?"
"I'm crying because the great Rothschild
is dead," was the reply.
"And why should you cry about that?"
was the further query. "He was no if
f tion of yours, was he?"
I "No," was the answer, half smothered in
„ sobs, "no relation at all, and that's just
what I am crying for."
Prisoner Guilty.
Lawyer — Now, see here; before I take
your case, I want to know if you're guilty?
Prisoner — -Am I guilty? D'yer s'pose I'd
; be fool enough ter hire the most expensive
lawyer in town if I wuz innercent?
Had to Cry.
"What are you crying for, my boy?"
"I got licked by the teacher."
"Well, it does no good to cry."
"Huh! how can you expect a boy that's
whaled not to blubber?"
Hard to Tell.
"Mamma," said a little girl.
"Yes, dear."
"Do you think I'll have the same papa
all this year?"
— More men would attend church if they
were compelled to dodge in at a side door.
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant;
small bulb Onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress; strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and
frost; collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and
expose them to the winds and air on a dry bench be-
fore they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Rust-Proof Oats. — Sow any time. They
are ready for harvest nearly a month earlier
than other kinds. An advantage in case
forage is scarce in the spring.
Stock.— Get all your stock in good condi-
tion before winter. It saves feed. Keep
your stock in growing condition, or you
will lose all that has been gained by pre-
vious attention.
Wheat. — ^A good dressing of some stimu-
lating fertilizer is especially helpful in
cases of late sowing, as the plants are en-
abled by its help to get a start which ia
very advantageous.
Grain Fields. — Be careful that in all grain
fields the water- furrows are properly laid
off and kept clean. Wheat is never "heaved
out" in land which has be6h thoroughly
drained and deepened by subsoiling.
— A rough diamond is worth much pol-
ished dirt.
— -Keep your farm buildings and all your
premises absolutely clean. Use absorbents,
such as dry earth and ashes, and all offen-
sive gases will disappear, thereby promot-
ing health and prosperity.
— The milk of a Jersey cow, fed on clover
hay, with a portion of shorts and a peck of
carrots each day, makes a beautiful yellow
butter.
— To prevent absorption in cows, give a
tablespoonful twice a week of a mixture of
equal parts of plaster, ashes and salt.
— For a "town cow" it pays to keep only
the very best breeds. Then feed well, and
the results are very gratifying.
— One God- made man is worth a hundred
self-made martyrs.

YOU CANT GO WRONG if you use CARALEIGH FERTILIZERS. They

THRI^EK'S iq-OETH CAEOLHSTA ALMAl^AC.

iS^The world has been busy eighteen hundred
years since John laid down his pen; very busy. The
thoughts of men have gone everywhere searching for
truth. I want some man to write one sentence of
moral or religious truth that is not ingermed at
least in what Jesus said and in what, by inspiratioH,
the Apostle wrote. They can not give you on those
lines the dot of an "i" or the cross of a "t." And
the world is coming to recogrnize that unique and
amazing fact.— Selected.
Profit and No Risk.
Haskins — By the way, who was the best
man at your wedding?
Willowby — The parson, I think. You see,
it was all profit for him and no risk what-
ever!
A Blush Absorber.
i Housewife — Your impudence amazes me.
t' I infer by your nose that —
Tramp — Ah, madam, you do me gieat
wrong. I do not drink. My nose is simply
a blush absorber.
True Mathematics.
"Yes," said the old mathematician, with
a gleam in his watery blue eyes, "Fve al-
ways looked at it that way. Marriage
addition ; when the little ones come it's mul-
tiplication; when dissension looms up to
cloud the horizon of their happiness it's
division; and when the final parting comes
it's subtraction."
Very Serious.
"Husband, I've got a very serious thing
to tell you."
"What is it, Laura?"
"Oh, it's dreadful; it's about Johnny."
"What has he been doing?"
"Well, he came into the house this morn-
ing, and what do you think^— 'he was chew-
ing tobacco."
"Pshaw! Don't give me such a turn
again, Laura. I didn't know but he had
been chemng gum."
—"A woman, I notice, always lowers her
voice to ask a favor." *Yes, and raises her
voice if she doesn't get it."
— A jewel of a cook must be a sort of
paste diamond.
WEATHER FORECASTS FOR NOVEMBER.— 1st to
2d, mild wave; 3d to 4th, soft, pleasant; 5th to 6th,
stormy; 7th to 9th, blustery; 10th to 12th, cold wave;
13th to 15th, low temperature for November; 16th to
17th, foggy, rainy; 18th to 20th, general rains; 21st
to 22d, blustery; 23d to 24th, gales; 25th to 27th,
cold weather with freezing temperatures; 28th to
30th, fine, genial weather.
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
leaves of the Cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery
earth-up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips
and Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a
good time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees
and shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting evergreens.
FARM NOTES.
Grain Fields. — See that the water furrows
are properly made and kept free, that no
surface water remains upon the plants and
cause their destruction.
Milch Cows. — To keep up the flow of milk,
milch cows must be fed upon roots, say at
least one meal per day, in addition to the
dry fodder with which they are regularly
furnished, and meal or bran mixed with cut
fodder or hay.
Tools. — ^What tools will not be needed
until the spring work commences should be
carefully cleaned and housed from t^e
weather. They should be repaired and
painted, if necessary. He is a poor farmer
who leaves his plow or harrow to rust in
the field and not a thoughtful one who
will not put them in order for future use.
Sheep. — Comparatively, our winters are
mild, but we have occasionally a spell or
so of very severe weather during the winter
season, when protection to sheep is impera-
tively needed. The prediction is that the
winter of 1880-'81 will be severe; but
whether it is or not our farmers should be
prepared. Rough and rude sheds, properly
constructed, will give the needed shelter to
sheep. It should be made to open into a
yard and the floor covered with leaves,
woods mould or rough litter of any kind.
— No man ever reached a joy by jumping
over a duty.
— If you have a sick chicken remove it at
once from the others, for should it be
something contagious, it might occasion a
total loss of the whole flock.
— A uniform use of water is essential to
the healthy growth of plants.

Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open the groimd may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish and Salad
sow in frames, also Lettuce. Transplanting trees
may still be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc.
Transplant all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown
in October will be fit to put out. Sow large York
to head in January and February. Small Onions may
still be planted. Earth-up Celery in dry weather.
Thin Spinach as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
Cows. — Incoming cows should be well
cared for. A roomy stall or loose box
should be provided in which the cow may
remain at night without being tied. Milk-
ing cows will be benefited by a pailful of
milk-warm water with two quarts of bran
or middlings stirred in it twice a day.
Cold water for drink will greatly reduce the
quantity of milk.
Sheep. — ^As a general thing, sheep in
winter quarters are too much crowded, and
thus when a portion of the flock are lying
down the rest, being obliged to stand, fre-
quently trample on their fellows through
restlessness and fright. Give access to
water twice a day if possible. Warm,
roomy quarters in winter and plenty of
water are important elements of success in
sheep raising.
Manures and Composts. — ^Many favorable
opportunities occur for collecting materi-
als for compost piles, and at no season is a
team and hand more likely to be available.
Mixing decaying vegetable matters, layer
and layer about, with good strong manure,
will largely increase your supplies of plant
food, breaking down the texture and mak-
ing available the crude material of the
rough matters used.
— The best results from wood ashes are
secured by adding a small proportion of
common salt. Ashes contain all the min-
eral elements of the plant, and they exert
a good influence in unlocking fertility that
would not be otherwise available. In burn-
ing anything the chlorine it contains is
carried off with the smoke and salt, chloride
of sodium supplies the deficiency.

YAGER'S LIN I MENC
A first class liniment is every family's need, in fact a necessity in
every household and every stable. You never know what moment
an accident is going to happen, and when it does, a good liniment
is the first need, and you want one that is reliable, one that
will do its work and do it well. Yager's Cream Chloroform
Liniment is the one to be relied upon — it never fails. It is
not one of those fiery, biting lotions, but its efiect is soothing,
gentle and stimulating to the nerves, causing energetic action
of the blood vessels, thus promoting nature's processes of heal-
ing without interruption.

Gentlemen:—
I feel that you should know
the benefits I received from
your Yager's Cream Chlo-
roform Liniment. While in
the army I contracted Rheu-
matism, and suffered a long
time with that dreadful dis-
ease. After I was mustered
out of service, I returned home
and tried several remedies
without getting any benefit
whatever. I was induced to
try Yager's Liniment; I did
so, and was entirely cured. I
cannot say too much for your
liniment. With best wishes,
I am. Yours truly,
S. M. DANIEL.

EASTER.
Everybody wants to know something
about the rule that governs the date of
Easter, and therefore the following will be
of interest.
It has been over 1,500 years since the rule
was adopted which makes Easter the first
Sunday after the first full moon after the
sun crosses the line. By this arrangement
of things Easter may come as early as
March 22 or as late as April 25.
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
Not only in our own country, but in other
lands, the good St. Valentine and Cupid
have always been on intimate terms of re-
lationship. In the last century on the eve
of St. Valentine's day the young folks in
England and Scotland celebrated the festi-
val with this fact in view. An equal num-
ber of maids and bachelors came together,
and each wrote his or her name on a separ-
ate bLQet, which was rolled up and placed in
a box. Then the maids drew by lot from
the bachelors' names and the latter from
the names of the maids. After this the
valentines, as the chosen ones were called,
gave parties to their friends, each valentine
wearing the billet on his or her sleeve for
several days. This little sport often ended
in an engagement or marriage.
GROUND HOG DAY.
Known to Church people as Candlemas
Day, February 2 is known better to the
^ world at large as "ground-hog day," famous
f; for its weather prognostications. A fine
:' Candlemas Day predicts a succession of foul
ones, while a stormy or cloudy Candlemas
promises an early and bright spring, with
summer to match.
We probably owe our little superstition
about the ground-hog on this day to our
early German settlers, they, no doubt, hav-
ing brought it over with them from the
Fatherland. An old proverbial expression
j in German has it that "the badger peeps
; out of his hole on Candlemas Day, and
^ when he finds snow walks abroad; if he
! sees the sim shining he draws back into
his hole." As the badger is comparatively
unknown with us east of the Mississippi,
the mantle fell upon th*e woodchuck, or
ground-hog. Farmers of the Middle States
call this day "ground-hog day" almost ex-
clusively. They watch to see if Mr. Ground-
Hog can see his shadow — that is, if the
sun is shining — Candlemas Day, when he
is said to emerge from his hibernating
slumbers, and believe that if he does six
weeks more cold weather is to come; but
if it is gray and cloudy and he can not see
his shadow the winter is over.
PASSION SUNDAY.
The fifth Sunday in Lent has been called
Passion Sunday from time immemorial. It
is also called Judica, but this is much less
common than the first name. The name
Passion Sunday was given it because it was
on that day our Saviour began to make
open predictions of His coming sufferings.
The Epistle for the day also refers to His
Passion and the Gospel in its beginning to
His rejection by the Jews, whence the name
of Passion Sunday. This Sunday begins
what is rightly called Passion week, a name
that is commonly but incorrectly given to
Holy Vveek, the week immediately before
Easter.
ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS.
The precise date of the institution of the
Christmas festival is involved in obscurity.
The origin of Christmas as a religious feast
IS ascribed to the decretal letters addressed
to Pope Telesphorus, who died A. D. 138. It
was at first the movable of Christian festi-
vals, and was confounded with the Epiphany
and celebrated by the Eastern churches in
the months of April and May. Under the
Pontificate of Pope Julius I., 337-352, St.
Cyril of Jerusalem urged the importance of
makmg Christmas an immovable festival,
and obtained an order from the Pope to
make a proper investigation for the pur-
pose of determining the exact date. A con-
ference held between the churches of the
East and West resulted in the adoption of
the twenty-fifth of December. Gibbon says
the festival of Christmas was placed at the
winter solstice, with the view of transform-
ing the Pagan Saturnalia into a Christmas
festival. It is curious to note that at the
present day many of the customs which are
observed at Christmas are of Pagan origin,
as described by Martial and other Roman
authors. The Christmas tree is another ex-
ample of the power a^d influence of Chris-
tianity to transform Pagan rites and cere-
monies. The Christmas tree, which is of
German origin, is simply the symbol of the
tree Isdragil, or tree of life, which figured
so conspicuously in Scandinavian mythol-
ogy. No festival of the Christian church
surpasses Christmas in the exemplification
of the power and influence of religion.
Wherever the Christian may be when this
day arrives his heart is moved with that
common impulse of joy, pesuje and good will
which the season invokes. The old recall
the days of youth, the young are absorbed
in the present, the distant wanderer revives
kind thoughts of home, and tender recollec-
tions serve to render absent friends more
dear, and that one touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin exhibits its
best influence.

FAMILY FUN.
— 'A miser declined to give his young wife
a new bonnet, and when she began to weep
he replied, "That's not the first financial
cry, sis, that I have lived through."
— "Papa," said a lad the other night after
attentively studying for some minutes an
engraving of a human skeleton, "how did
this man manage to keep in his dinner?"
—Willie P , a little five-year-old, was
playing with a honey-bee when the angry
bee stung him. "0, gramma," cried Willie,
"I didn't know bees had splinters in their
feet."
— "Johnnie," said mamma to her little
son, "didn't I tell you not to eat that candy
until after dinner?" Johnnie, who lisps: "I
ain't eating the candy, I'm only thucking
the juithe."
— "Johnnie, how many bones are there in
the human body?" "Whose human body-
mine?" "Yes, yours, for instance." "Can't
tell. You see I've been eatin' shad for
breakfast, and that upset the anatomical
estimate at once."
—"Pa," said a little four-year-old boy,
after running in the house the other day,
"are you an old dude?" "No, indeed, I am
not. Why do you ask?" "Cause a fellow-
just now come along the pavement and said
I was a young dude."
— "I declare, John, I never saw such a
man! You are always getting some new
wrinkle." And the brute calmly replied:
"Matilda, you are not, thank fortune. If
you had a new wrinkle you would have no
place to put it, dear."
— "Father, did you ever have another
wife besides mother?" "No, my boy; what
possessed you to ask such a question?"
"Because I saw in the old family Bible
where you married Anno Domini in 1835,
and that isn't mother, for her name was
Sally Smith."
— ^A boy came home with his hair drip-
ping wet, having just come aut of the swim-
ming-hole. He was equal to the emergency,
and escaped a busy time with his mother
and a birch sprout by wjearily wiping his
forehead and remarking: "It's awful hot
work hoeing down there in the garden."
— "Grandpa, does hens make their own
eggs?" "Yes, indeed they do, Johnnie."
"An' do they always put the yolk in the
middle?" "Guess they do, Johnnie." "An'
do they put the starch around it to keep
the yellow from rubbing off?" "Quite like-
ly, my little boy." "An' who sews the
cover on?" This stumped the old man, and
he barricaded Johnnie's mouth with a lolli-
pop.
— '"ComiB, pa," said a youngster just home
from school, "how many peas in a pint?"
"How can anybody tell that, you foolish
boy?" "I can, every time. If you don't
believe me, try me." "Well, how many are
there, then?" "Just one p in every pint."
— "My dear," said a wife, looking up from
her newspaper, "what is the difference be-
tween 'collusion' and collision'?" "Oh!" re-
sponded the husband, "it is simply the dif-
ference between u and i." "Oh! yes," re-
torted the wife, "and the same difference
exists in your answer, which is more in-
genious than ingenuous."
—"Mother," remarked a Duluth girl, "I
think Harry must be going to propose to
me." "Why so, my daughter?" queried the
old lady, laying down her spectacles, while
her face beamed like the moon in its four-
teenth night. "Well, he asked me this
evening if I wasn't tired of living with
such a menagerie as you and dad."
— Mamie having been helped twice to
everything on the table, slid down when
the coffee came in, from her chair, with a
sigh. "There, now," said her mamma, "I
suppose you have eaten so much that you
feel uncomfortable?" "Don't," replied Ma-
mie quickly, wiih a toss of her little head;
"I only just feel nice and smooth."
— "Father," said Johnnny, "this paper
says that 'many prominent citizens are
now ill with pneumonia and kindred dis-
eases.' What is kindred diseases, father?"
"Why, my son," said Smithy, "a kindred
disease is — ds — why — yes, yes! a kindred
disease js one that runs through an entire
family — kindred, relatives, you know. Sur-
prised you didn't know that, Johnny."
THE HARVEST MOON. <
The Harvest Moon is the full moon which
falls on or near the 21st of September. Its
peculiarity is that it rises more closely
after sunset for a number of nights after
the full than any other full moon in the
year. This results in four or five successive
nights being almost moon-lit, and the op-
portunity thus given for evening work in
harvesting has led to this full moon being
distinguished by the name of Harvest Moon.
The difference between the moon's times of
rising on successive nights averages about
fifty minutes. The greatest difference oc-
curs in the spring, when it may i-each an
hour and a half. The Harvest Moon may
rise over half an hour later each night,
while under the most favorable conditions
the difference is only about ten minutes.
A 50- cent shirt and a 10-cent collar give
a man more standing in the community
than a ton of religious faith.

BIG PROFITS THAT MIGHT BE YOURS.
The big profits will be yours if you use
RUST'S EGG PRODUCER.
The cost is only from two to three cents a month for each hen accord-
ing to the size you buy. Think of it! An increase of merely two eggs
pays for enough Rust's E^g Producer for a hen for a month, and
no one ever fed it any length of time without getting dozens of extra
eggs. In some conditions it starts laying immediately, in other condi-
tions it takes somewhat longer; but sooner or later it does its work and
does it well, if the directions on the labels are followed. Grains and
seeds are not enough, for hens need other egg elements. Rust's Egg
Producer supplies these and it pays well to use it all the year around.
It Makes Hen Farming the most
Profitable of all Farming.
It pays off debts and mortgages. It affords the best investment of its
size known. Our free Poultry Booklet shows how others succeed,
shows how to feed chicks and fowls, best breeds for laying, setting or
table, how to prevent and cure sick fowls, how to destroy lice, etc.
It is just the booklet every poultry-keeper needs, costs you nothing and
may save you dollars. A postal card will bring one, and a Rust's Egg
Record too if you say you want it. Address

Useful Household Remedies.
For bums, sweet oil and cotton are the
standard remedies. If they are not at
hand sprinke the burned part with flour
and wrap loosely with a soft cloth. Don't
remove the dressing until the inflammation
subsides, as it will break the new skin that
is forming.
For nose bleeding, bathe the face and
neck with cold water.
If an artery is severed, tie a small cord
or handkerchief tightly above it.
For bilious colic, soda and ginger in hot
water. It may be taken freely.
Broken limbs should be placed in natural
positions and the patient kept quiet until
the surgeon arrives.
Nervous spasms are usually relieved by
a little salt taken in the mouth and al-
lowed to dissolve.
Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach are
promptly checked by small doses of salt.
The patient should be kept as quiet as pos-
sible.
Sleeplessness caused by too much blood
in the head may be overcome by applying
a cloth wet with cold water to the back of
the neck.
For pains in the chest or stomach, as
much Dover's powder as wlU lie on a sUver
five- cent piece.
Chloride of potash dissolved in water is
a standard remedy for sore throat, particu-
larly when the throat feels raw.
For cinders in the eye, the best way,
when one is alone, is to pull the upper lid
down over the under one. This increases
the flow of tears and at the same time
brushes with the eyelashes the interior of
the lid. If the foreign substance can be
seen, let some one place a silk handkerchief
over a pencil and gently touch the object,
which will adhere to the handkerchief. A
magnet is often effective in removing me-
tallic particles.
Never touch the sick if your hands are
sore or scratched. Put court plaster over
the exposed parts

What to Do in Case of Accidents.
Always send for a physician when a se-
rious accident of any kind occurs, but treat
as directed until his arrival:
For Apoplexy, raise the head and body;
for fainting, lay the person flat.
If an Artery is cut, compress it above
the wound. Blood from an artery is red;
that from the veins dark.
If Choked, get down on all fours and
cough.
For slight Bums, hold the wound in cold
water a short time; if the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with linseed oil.
Scalds and Burns. — Exclude the air from
the injured part, using for this purpose
sheets of wadding, fine wool, carded cot-
ton, baking soda, violet powder, magnesia
or chalk. Olive oil and white of egg, olive
or linseed oil plain or mixed with chalk or
whiting, are common remedies. The prin-
cipal object is to exclude the air from the
bum or scald in the quickest and least
painful way.
Body in Flames. — ^Lay the person on the
floor and throw rug, table cover or other
large cloth over him and roll him on the
floor.
Lightning or Sunstroke. — ^Loosen the
clothing, place the patient in shady place
and apply cold water to the head. Keep
the head slightly elevated.
Mad Dog or Snake Bite. — Tie a cord
tightly above the wound. Give brandy,
whiskey or other stimulants. Suck the
wound, cauterize it with caustic or white
hot iron, or cut out adjoining parts with a
knife. Act quickly.
Dirt or Cinders in the Eye. — Nothing is
better than flaxseed. Place a few grains
in the outer corner of the eye.
Escape from a Burning Building. — Crawl
on the floor; the clearest air is the lowest
in the room. Cover your head with a wet
woollen wrap, in which holes may be cut
for the eyes. Keep your wits.
Suffocation from Inhaling Gas.— Get the
patient into fresh air as quickly as pos-
sible, place him in a reclining position and
keep, him warm. Give twenty drops of
ammonia in a glass of water at frequent
intervals, and two to four drops of nux
vomica every hour or two for five or six
hours.
Bleeding from the Nose. — Place a plug of
lint in the nostrils; if this fails to stop
the bleeding, apply a cold lotion to the
forehead; raise the head and place both
arms over it, so that it will rest on the
handft; moisten the line plug slightly, dip
it in some powdered gum arable and alum
and place in the nose. Apply heat to the
feet. In obstinate cases the sudden shock
of a cold key, or cold water poured down
the spine, will sometimes instantly stop
the bleeding.

SAYINGS OF PROMINENT NORTH
CAROLINIANS.
Hard work and regular habits, pay your
debts, tell the truth, and stand by your
friends. — Judge Geo. H. Brown.
Choose a profession or business that you
can honestly love, master all details and
then stick to it. — Geo. W. Watts.
Earnest application and singleness of pur-
pose, absolute candor, when called on for
an opinion, and honest efforts. — Dr. P. L.
Murphy.
Be certain to ascertain that the thing is
right; then do your duty and leave the con-
sequences to the future. — Hon. S. P. Alex-
ander.
I have been much helped by Carlyle's say-
ing: "Do the duty that lies nearest to you,
the others will then be clearer." — Francis P.
Venable, LL.D.
Avoid the feverish anxiety to be rich or
great in a day. Let success be the result
of steady growth. Strive to serve country
and humanity. In the end this will be the
best service to self. — Hon. Thos. J. Jarvis.
Patient labor, hard study, moderate in<ie-
pendence, unswerving integrity and not too
much regard for public opinion or desire
for ofl&ce will carry most men through. —
Judge J. C. McRae.
Resolve, that in part one will give of his
time, ability and money for the well being
and progress of the community, State and
country. Avoid the cultivation of a spirit
of selfishness. — Hon. John H. Small.
Do always as best you can the work that
lies immediately at hand. Want whatever
work you can get, and you will some day
get the work you most want. — Prof. Collier
Cobb.
Our danger lies in neglect of home life. I
doubt if there should be any divorces from
any cause. The young people are ashamed
of their poverty and plain dressing; this
begets extravagance, and a boy who is ex-
travagant is done for.— Judge Robt. W.
Winston.
. The cultivation of strong self- controlling
will-power, the habit of energetic action
and of a sound and vigorous body, with
moral character, will infallibly achieve suc-
cess.— Prof. Henry Louis Smith.
If he wishes money, he must serve those
who have it to give him. ' If he wishes ease
of conscience in old age, he must have it
in youth and act so as to feel that he has
done what was right. — Maj. W. A. Graham.
There is much need for contentment with
moderate returns from honest toil, faithful
pursuit on chosen lines of work to benefit
mankind and achieve merited distinction,
without so much attention to the dollars
to be received in the pursuit. — Judge B. F.
Long.
The secret of true success and high ideals,
in my opinion, is concentration of thought
and purpose, unswerving honesty and in-
tegrity, energy, faith in yourself and love
for your work and a cheerful optimism.
Never lose faith in humanity or God. —
Hon. Chas. R. Thomas.
Avoid liquor and every species of specula-
tion. Be diligent in labor, make home at-
tractive by the introduction of good litera-
ture, read much and thoroughly, and in all
things be truthful, sober and considerate of
the rights and feelings of others. — Hon. J.
G. Shaw.
Seek to keep body healthy. Live up to
what is deemed best in private and civic
life. Study every question which interests
you thoroughly and emphatically on TDoth
sides, and draw your conclusions and follow
them. Be just to all men and in all the
affairs of life.— Hon. F. M. Simmons.
Never drink alcohol or other drug in any
form. Select the business you like best, and
work hard to be thorough in it. Cultivate
good manners and tact. Be faithful to
every duty; be "dependible." Aim at high
Christian character. Be courteous to oppo-
nents as well as to friends. — 'Hon. Kemp. B.

SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.
Over-Cropping. — Resist the temptation
to put more acres in plowed crops than can
be got in in season, and cultivated while
growing, or if the soil is thin, plowing and
planting more land than can be properly
manured to insure a full return for labor
expended.
— Sandy soils are, in the average fann-
er's sense of the word, the lightest of all
soils, because they are the easiest to work,
while in actual weight they are the heav-
iest soils known. Clay, also, which we call
a heavy soil, because stiff and unyielding to
the plow, is comparatively a light soil in
actual weight. Peat soils are light in both
senses of the word, having little actual
weight and being loose and porous.
Late Plowing of Corn. — Up to the tima
that corn '"bunches" or is preparing to
tassel, it may be plowed with shovels or
comparativel}^ deep running ploughs, but
after that period the culture should be ex-
ceedingly shallow. Even the advocates of
"root pruning" corn will admit that injury
is done by cutting the roots after the tassel
appears. The last working should be very
thorough. Nothing should be left to com-
pete with the corn for the food in the soil.
Irrigating Meadows. — Go over the farm
and turn every little stream of water you
can over the meadow lands and turn them
off the ploughing lands. A small stream
of water turned over a ten- acre lot of grasi
land will sometimes make a difference of
one ton of hay in a season, adding at least
one dollar an acre to the value of the crop«,
and in many instances it need not cost
more than two hours work with pick and
hoe to do it all.

etc. etc. etc.
Greens. — Of the various species of plants
used for greens, we mention the following:
Mustard, turnips, cabbage, horseradish,
lamb's quarters, dandelion, wild pepper-
grass, etc. These should be carefully picked,
carefully washed and then parboiled; then
with a large fork lifted out of this water
and placed in another vessel in which a
piece of salt pork is boiling, and let them
boil for near an hour longer.
Seed Com. — Seed-corn should be selected
filled to the tips, are preferable to smaller
ones, although two may have grown upon
one stalk. The selected ears should not be
husked, but the husks turned back and
braided together, so as to make a bunch of
twenty or thirty ears. These should be
hung up in a dry, safe place.
Rice Chicken Pie. — Cover the bottom of
a pudding-dish with slices of boiled ham;
cut up a boiled chicken and nearly fill the
dish; add chopped onions, if you like, or a
little curry pow^der, which is better. Then
add boiled rice to fill the interstices and
to cover the top thick. Bake it for one-half
or three-quarters of an hour.

RULES FOR RIGHT LIVING.
As Good Now as They Were in Franklin's
Day.
For the guidance of those purposing to
live honestly and uprightly, that quaint
old philosopher, Benjamin Franklin — who,
unlike many of his order, uncompromis-
ingly practiced what he preached — formu-
lated a comprehensive code of 13 rules. To
quote them may be helpful, but to follow
their Divine teaching would be to bring us
within measurable distance of the millen-
nium. Here are the rules:
1. Temperance. Eat not to dullness;
drink not to elevation,
2. Silence. Speak not but what may
benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling
conversation.
3. Order. Let all your things have
their places; let each part of your business
have its time.
4. Resolution. Resolve to perform what
you ought; perform without fail what you
resolve.
5. Frugality. Make no expense but to do
good to others or yourself; that is, waste
nothing.
6. Industry. Lose no time; be always
employed in something useful; cut oflT all
unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think
innocently and justly and, if you speak,
speak accordingly.
8. Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries
or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear
resenting injuries so much as you think
they deserve.
10. Cleanliness. Tolerate no unclean!!-
ness in body, clothes or habitation.
11. Tranquility. Be not disturbed at
trifles or at accidents, common or unavoid-
able.
12. Chastity.
13. Humility. Imitate Jesus.
COMMANDMENTS OF THE HOME
MAKER.
1. Make your household one harmonious
whole, no matter how small the scale.
2. Use only what you can comfortably
afford in good quality and ample quantity.
3. Let your home appear bright and
sunny. It is not easy to be unpleasant in
a cheerful room.
4. Treat your servants wisely and kindly,
and it will be impossible for them to either
impose or oppose.
5. A certain formality is necessary to
save every-day life from triviality and
I freedom from looseness.
j 7. Do not forget that "society" is the
death of home life — hospitality its flower.
8. Know how to talk and how to listen,
; how to entertain and how to amuse.
0. Have many interests and no studies.
10. Do not forget — your home should not
I only be a well-conducted dormitory and
boarding place, but truly a home, the cen-
1 tre and focus of all interests, pleasure and
I happiness for everybody connected with it.

SICK ROOM RULES.
Modem hygienic science has laid down
certain well-defined rules about the care of
sick that are at variance with the ideas of
even a few years ago. Following is a re-
sume of the best thought on this import-
ant subject. The matter has been pre-
sented in abrupt sentences the better to
emphasize the importance of each point.
In convalescence there are many things
that may tend to make the patient more
comfortable, dressinig sacks, bed- jackets,
abundance of linen pillow slips and the
like.
Let the room be as large, bright and well
ventilated as possible.
Let it be quiet: not on a noisy thor-
oughfare.
Strip it of all articles of furniture not
absolutely needed.
Remove carpet and hangings.
Ceanse walls, ceiling and wood work
with dipinfectant beforje moving patitent
in.
Keep temperature at 70 degrees.
Use but one door Hang sheets over
other doors and moisten from time to
time with disinfectant.
Do not sweep the room. Use damp
cloth or scrubbing brush on floor.

THE IMPORTANCE AND ECONOMY OF THE
TURNIP CROP.
There is no crop that the farmer puts into
the ground that pays better than the tur-
nip. Nor is there any other stock feed that
can be produced in such great abundance,
at such little cost, with such little exertion
and in so short a time as this root crop.
We ask any farmer to name any other crop,
which in a few we«ks after sowing will
give him a yield of from ten to thirty tons
per acre of fresh succulent feed for his
stock with so little expense. It was the re
mark of England's greatest political econo-
mist that "Great Britain could better afford
to lose her navy than her turnip crop;" and
we might say that the farmer who keeps
stock could better afford to lose any other
crop than this. All Jsinds of of stock relish
turnips and thrive upon them when in
combination with hay or chops, and in a
higher degree than any other root crop,
hence their universal popular ity in all stock
raising communities Furthermore, all ex-
perience proves that hogs, sheep, cattle and
even horses, are healthier and more vigorous
"v^en plentifully fed on a mixed feed of
succulent and farinaceous food than on
ferinaceous food alone. As a supplement
crop, it is put in at a time when the hurry-
ing season is over, and as long as its lasts it
lengthens out the corn, oats and hay, a
most important matter with those who do
not raise a full supply of these crops.
Preparations for the crop to be sown in
August should be made early, and for a
variety of superior excellence and specially
adapted to the Southern climate by virtne
of its origin, the "Southern Prize Turnip"
is from the testimony we have beyond all
question the best kind of plant for a cer-
tain and large crop, and of superior quality.
After thorough trial for many years, the
following points of excellence are claimed
for it viz: It has no equal for root br
salid; it stands extreme heat or cold; it is
superior to the Northern turnip; they do
not pith or become spongy as other turnips;
it produces salad two weeks earlier than
any other turnip; insects do not injure this
as they do other varieties; it produces more
salad than any other turnip; it produces a
larger root than any other turnip; it is the
best turnip for winter use in the market;
for general farm market purposes it has no
equal in the South.
SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP
Has Stood the Test for Over 30 Years.
The Southern Prize Turnip is an entirely new variety, and the credit of its origina-
tion balongs to NORTH CAROLINA.
The Southern Prize is a hybrid, and originated many years ago by a horticulurist of
Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk'.Globe and Seven Top, or salid
turnip. The result is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, and which for
size, fresh flavor, hardness and salad, is without an equal. In fact, it was found so
superior to all other varieties, and so well adapted to our Southern climate that the seed
sold, when first introduced at the extraordinary rate of Fifty Dollars per Pound, and
was called the Fifty Dollar Turnip.
Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is not affected by insects. Nor
does it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keeps sound, sweet and juicy.
It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and two
weeks earlier than any other variety. It stands extreme heat or cold. As to production,
they are very prolific, yielding large crops; and as to size, they have measured twenty-
nine inches in circumference. As a farmer expressed it, ''they are just large enough."
II:^"A11 seed deteriorate unless kept up to their original standard. The seed from year
to year have been kept up to their original purity and excellence, and we offer the Genu-
ine Southern Prize Turnip Seed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 1905 They are worth
double any other variety. These seed are grown especially for us for over twenty years
by an experienced horticulturist, who succeeded the originator of the seed, and who
grows them upon the same farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered.

COOKING RECEIPTS.
Tomato Soup. — ^Boil three pounds beef in
one gallon of water two hours, till reduced
to two quarts; then stir in one quart
canned tomatoes and stew slowlj three-
quarters of an hour longer. Season to taste,
strain and serve. In summer use two
quarts fresh tomatoes.
Green-Pea Soup. — ^Boil a quart of shelled
green peas in two quarts of water till soft,
take them out of the water and msish them,
reum them to the liquor, with a few slices
of cold ham and beef, pepper, salt, parsley,
and other flavorings, boil it up briskly, serve
hot.
Peach fritters. — Make a batter of one cup
of sweet milk, two eggs, a little salt, and
flour enough to make a moderately stiff
batter. If you choose, the halves of i)eaches
can be cut in quarters. Fry in hot lard
and serve with or without cream; of course,
the cream is a toothsome addition.
Buttered Apples. — ^Pare a dozen apples,,
or enough to fill a yellow nappy, and scoop
out the cores with a tin cutter. Butter the
bottom of the nappy well and put in the
apples, filf up the cores with pounded sugar
and grated lemon peel, and scatter the
same over them, and bake in the oven till
quite soft. Serve whipped cream.
Strawberry Tarts. — For each tart take
two eggs, one and a half tablespoonfuls
sugar, a small piece of butter size of a
partridge egg; beat well together, add one
cup sweet milk; roll paste thin; place in
pie-pan; after pouring in the above mix-
ture strew into it one layer of nice berries;
bake until the eggs are cooked, and you
have a delicious tart. No flavoring is needed
except the berries.
Green Com, Baked. — Grate the com, sea-
son with butter or pork grease, salt to
taste; add a little black pepper, also water
enough to form a batter about as thick as
egg-bread batter, pour into a well-greased
baking- pan and bake until brown; it should
be stirred once or twice while cooking, so
as to brown through and through, but be
careful not to get it too dry.
Creamed Potatoes. — Take one cupful of
milk, a teaspoonful of butter, salt and pep-
per to taste; put the butter in a small fry-
ing-pan, and when hot, butter before it
browns, add enough flour to thicken; stir
till smooth and gradually add- the milk;
have your cold boiled potatoes sliced, turn
them into this and let them gradually heat
through; a very little nutmeg grated over
the potatoes before frying improves the fla-
vor. Salt and pepper and serve.

TEETHINA
Atlanta, Ga., November 19, 1902.
We have handled Dr. Mofifet's TEETHINA (Teething Powders) ever
since its first introduction to the public and trade as a Proprietary Medi-
cine, and our trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until
our orders now amount to two or three hundred gross per year, which is
a very strong evidence of its merit and the satisfaction it is giving to the
mothers of the country, for they say that nothing so effectually counter-
acts the effects of the summer's hot sun or overcomes so quickly the
troubles incident to teething.

Office of D. H. Hardy, Sec. of State.
Austin, Tex, November 21, 1902.
I have found Dr. Moffett's TEETHINA a splendid remedy and aid for
ray teething children. When my oldest boy was a teething child, every
succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened
upon TEETHINA and began at once administering it to him, and his im-
provement was marked in 24 hours, and from that day on he recuper-
ated. I have constantly kept it and used it since with my children, and
have taken great pleasure in sounding its praises to all mothers of young
children. I found it invaluable even after the teething period was passed.

St. Louis, Mo , Post-Dispatch says: "Indian women are proverbially
healthy and strong, often marching for days with their babies upon their
backs. In fact, they frequently go the day before and after confinement,
with their tribes, upon the march. These women acquire this great
strength and power of endurance by using a weed that grows in their
locality, out of which a medicine is now being made and kept by the
druggists under the name of INDIAN WEED (Female Medicine)."

Elutered according to act of Congress, in the year 1906 for the year 1907, by The Enniss Publishik©
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
4»*N0TE.— This AJmanac bears the name of TURNEB-ENNISS N. C. ALMANAC, in honor of the
late aENBY D. TUKNKB, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published
it Id the year 1838, and Mr. Jas. H. Enniss, who succeeded Mr. Turner in 1867, in the publication of the
Almanac, and under his administration was issued regularly until His death in May, 1900. Since that
time the A.lmanac has been Issued under the name of the Enniss Publishing Co., by Pinck. C :Enniss.
EXPLANATIONS AND REMARKS.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solai
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this differ-
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes. -
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."1 ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
RISING AND SETTING OF THE SUN.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This i»
incorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-
clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given
have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the
whole minute.

ALMANAC CALCULATIONS FOR 1907.
This Almanac is calculated for the State of North Carolina only. All the astrononical
phenomena and data have been arranged expressly for this State. Other almanacs which
have calculations for a dozen different States are not reliable as to exact time for North
Carolina.
The Year 1907 comprises the latter part of the 131st and the beginning of the 132d year
of American Independence and corresponds to : The year 6620 of the Julian Period ; the
year 5667-5668 of the JeWIsh era, the year 5668 begins at sunset on Sept. 8 ; the year
3660 since the foundation of Rome according to Varro ; the year 2567 of the Japanese era,
and to the 40th year of the period entitled "Meiji;" the year 1325 of the Mohammedan
era, or the era of the Hegira, begins on the 14th day of Feb. 1907. The first day of Janu-
ary 1907 is the 2,417,577th day since the commencement of the Julian Period.
MORNING AND EVENING STARS.
The planet Venus ( $ ) begins as Morning Star and continues as such until September
14th, after which date she is Evening Star to end of year, /
The Planet Mars (cf) is the Morning Star untill July 6th, and then Evening Star bal-
ance of the year.
The planet Jupiter (91.) is Evening Star till July 16th, after which date he is Morning
Star to end of year.
The planet Saturn ( ^ ) begins as Evening Star, and continues as such untill March
9th, after which date it is Morning Star until September 17th, and then Evening Star to
end of year.

ECLIPSES FOR 1907. '
In the year 1907 there will be four eclipses, two of the sun and two of the moon.
I. A total eclipse of the sun January 13th, not visible here.
II. A partial eclipse of the moon Jan. 29th; partly visible here; the beginning visible
generally in North America, the Pacific Ocean, central and eastern Asia and Australia ;
the end visible in northwest North America, the Pacific Ocean, Asia, Australia, central
and eastern Europe. Time of eclipse is as follows :
Moon enters penumbra January 29
Moon enters shadow January 29
Middle eclipse begins January 29
Moon leaves shadow January 29 10 10 a. m.
Moon leaves penumbra January 29 11 30 a.m.
III. An annular eclipse of the Sun July 10th, invisible here.
IV. A partial eclipse of the moon July 24-25, visible here. Time of eclipse is as follows
D. H. M.
Moon enters penumbra July 24 8 59 p. m.
Moon enters shadow July 24 10 4 p. m.
Middle of eclipse July 24 11 22 p. m.
Moon leaves shadow July 25 0 41 a. m.
Moon leaves penumbra Jnly 25 1 46 a. m.
H. M.
5 46 a. m.

TIDES.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of the
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for Southport. N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

THE NEW YEAR 5905.
The anniversary of the date of Creation
fell on Wedneada-y, the 19th of September,
1906. It is 5905 sola.- years from the prime
date, which is abundantly proved by aU his-
tory and astronomical science. Our alma-
nac year will, by computation, be only one
year too fast on this anniversary date, but
about three months later, namely, the 1st
of January, it will be one and three-quarters
too fast and count as two by being 1907.
WHEN WAS THE RAINBOW FIRST
SEEN?
Mr. G. A. Hammond, a Canadian author
of several books, strongly disapproves of the
surmise of some men respecting the exist-
ence of the rainbow prior to the deluge ow-
ing to the natural law of prismatic action
of sunlight on falling rain. In refuting this,
lie asks if all natural laws must be concur-
rent in date, does it seem reasonable that the
Almighty should confer upon a familiar ob-
ject a token of a covenant of mercy?
Token, indeed! Can a well-known object
be dignified into a sign? Impossible. Noah
and his family, after leaving tho ark, be-
held for the first time this marvellous and
beautiful bow in the firmament.
OUR SHIFTING A.D. YEAR.
Sir John Herschel says : "The Julian year
made every fourth year a leap year. But
this is, in fact, an excess. It supposes the
length of the tropical year to be 365 1-4
days, and produces an error of seven days in
900 years. Accordingly in 1414 A. D.^ it be-
gan to be perceived that the equinoxes were
gradually creeping away from the 21st of
Mfvrch and September, where they always
ought to have fallen had the Julian year
been correct and not occurring too early.
The change which took place under the pope-
dom of Gregory Xm. consisted of the omis-
sion of ten days after the 4th of October,
1582, so that the next day was called the
15th instead of the 5th. Although this
change was immediately adopted in Roman
Catholic countries, it did not take plstce in
England, a Protestant country, till 1752,
when eleven; days were struck out by call-
ing the 2d of September the 14th. Pre-
viously the year had begun on the 2§th of
March, which was the case with 1751; but
that year was not suffered to run out." It
had only nine months.
Sir Robert Ball, Professor of Astronomy
at Cambridge, England, is quoted as rating
the effective temperature of the sun as prob-
ably 18,000 degrees.

OBSERVATIONS.
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the
fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more frost or wet weather may be
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn nearly In the
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours
1. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as Is
noted in the table.
TUENEEr-ENJSTISS NORTH CAROLINA ALMAISTAO.
FACTS ABOUT THE SUN.
The sun is the nearest of the stars to the
earth. It is a grand and the most import-
ant of heavenly bodies — yet probably only
of mediimi size among its i>eer^. Its dis-
tance from the earth is 92,897,000 miles,
(which is imcertain by 50,000 miles) and the
distance varies 3,000,000 miles on account
of the eccentricity of the earth's orbit — the
earth being nearer the sun in December
than in June. The velocity of the earth in
moving about its orbit is about 8 1-2 mile*
every second, with which compare the ve-
locity of a cannon ball which moves about
2-5 of a mile (2,000 feet) each second.
Sound transmitted from the sun would
take 14 years to reach us. Light travels
th3 distance in 499 seconds or 8 1-3 minutes.
If we represent the sun by a circle two feet
in diameter, the earth is proportiomitely .22
of an inch. Its mass is -522 times that of
the earth.
Sun spots have a direct influence upon
the earth — fresh outbreaks of them causing
severe electrical storms — notably in 1859
axid 1883. The shade of the spots cast vary
in size from 500 to 50,000 miles in diameter.
HOW THE YEARS ARE RECKONED.
A reader asks, if the year be 360 days,
how is it also 365?
The explanation is that the dates of the
year by the rotation of the earth, say upon
the equator, amount to 360 days; but the
dates of the yeai' by the revolution of the
earth in its orbit, are 365. That the latter
should be five days longer than the former
is in consequence of the orbit of the earth
not being of the same circular construction
as the rotation. The orbit of the earth is
a slight ellipse. Hence as the 365 days be-
gin with the fourth day of the rotation of
the earth, and the earth also in the course
of her orbitual revolution gains one day
every year, the equinoctial year begins when
the earth is opposite the sun, which is not
in the centre of the earth's orbit. Again, if
you start the computation of 365 on the
equator where the 360 days of rotation be-
gin, you will require 365 days of dating
round the orbit of the earth before you get
opposite the sun. This is also s^ou by the
fact that the rotation day is nearly four
minutes shorter than a day on the orbit of
the earth. Hence four times 360 arc 1440
minutes, which amount to one day. All the
stars and planets come to the meridian at
the south nearly four minutes later every
night.
WHY WE DO NOT FEEL TEE WORLD'S
RAPID FLIGHT THROUGH SPACE.
We have no direct sensation of the earth's
motion because of its absolute smoothness
and freedom from all jar or vibration, and,
as everything — land, sea and air — is carried
along at the same rate as ourselves, there
is nothing to £-fford us any evidence that we
are moving at all until we make reference
to something altogether detached from the
earth — as sun, moon or stars — and even
then, until reasoning and mathematical cal-
culations are brought to bear: it is these
bodies and not ourselves which seem to
move.
Gliding in a boat down a smooth river it
is often impossible to perceive that we are
moving except by reffjence to objects on
the banks, and even then it is difficult to
resist the impression that they are in mo-
tion while we are at rest.
The mere detail of speed does not affect
the question, and, although the earth ia
rushing through space at the rate of eigh-
teen miles a second, the motion, infinitely
smoother than that of a boat on placid
Welter, is absolutely imperceptible.
It should be remembered that the earth
is but a small particle, as it were but a
grain of dust in the immensity of space.
The celestial sphere surrounds it on all
sides, below as we'l as above. In the night
time we see but half of this sphere, that is,
the half which is above the ground, but
were the earth transparent so that we could
look down through the ground, and were the
light of the sun blotted out, we should see
ourselves surrounded by stars in every di-
rection; that is, we should see the entire
c iestial sphere with all of the constellations
at once, both those of summer and of win-
ter.
The half of the celestial sphere which ifl
above the ground in the day time is invisible
to us simply because of the overpowering
brightness of the sun; when the light of this
body is cut off by an eclipse or by descent
into a deep mine or otherwise, the stars
become visible even in the day time.
THE MOONS OF MARS.
The moons of Mars are much smaller
bodies than our moon. If we represent Mars
by a good-sized pumpkin, his moons, on the
same scale, would be hardly as big as the
smallest- sized shot'. The glare from the
bright planet is such that when we want to
see faint objects like the satellites we have
to hide the planet so as to get a compara-
tively dark space in which to search.

Garden Calendar for January,
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy dresB*
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttingfs put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shalloti.
Lettuce plants from faU sowing transplant. Spinach
may be sown for early spring use. Onions hoe and
all other hardy crops planted in autumn. Peas sow
at intervals; some may be frosted, but try again.
Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may
be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Oab*
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
Laying out a Garden. — In laying out the
garden run the rows north and south, if
possible, and thus give the sun a chance to
shine upon both sides of them.
Lime. — If lime is to be applied during the
Spring the application should be made as
early as possible. It should be air-slaked,
and in as fine condition as possible. It ben-
efits both liofht and heavy soils, and from
20 to 40 bushels per acre may be used.
The Manure Pile. — Keep an eye on the
manure pile, or it will become overheated.
If you are too busy to turn the heap over,
make holes in it with a pole or crowbar and
deluge it with water. Do not fail to work
the heap over as soon as it can be done, and
when so doing add more absorbing material.
KEITH'S PHOSPHATE LIME
Poor land made rich by the use of Keith's
Ground Phosphate Lime, not burnt, retain-
ing all its life, mined, dried, and ground into
meal, 80 to 85 per cent of Carbonate of
Lime, with considerable high-grade Phos-
phate rock ground with it. Shewing over
23 per cent Phosphoric acid. Those who
have used it, are its best friends. Cost
less than half of best grade guano. It has
no equal for wheat and all small grain, corn,
cotton, peas, peanuts, etc. For testimonials,

Alas and Alack.
She — So she is going to get a divorce, eh?
I thought her husband was the light of her
life.
He — So he was; but he went out too
much.
A Safer Place.
"Doesn't it make you nervous to be in the
road when an automobile comes along at
breakneck speed?"
"Yes," answered the suburban dweller,
"but I'd rather be in the road than in the
machine."
The Fault of the Llock.
Pat and Mike were playing a game of
cards in a saloon, and Pat kept looking at
the clock. Mike said:
"And faith, what are you looking at the
clock for?"
"Every time that clock tics," Pat replied,
"J. D. Rockefeller makes ten dollars."
Mike dropped his cards and jmnped on the
tabl«.
"\^^hat in faith are you going to do?"
asked Pat.
"I'm going to stop the clock," answered
Mike.

Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating material!
for hotbeds; for which select situation protected by
a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress, gn^^fting
execute. Fruit trees and shrubbery transplaiit.
Plant early Potatoes. Spinach sow, also Radishes,
Carrots, Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Oabbage plants from
different sowings, transplant Lettuce plants. Pea«
plant — the extra early is the best. In hotbeds sow
Cabbage, Tomato, Egg Plant, Lettuce, Radish, etc
Don't be deterred in your operations for fear of loss
by change of temperature, but have at hand the
means of protection against hard weath^, or jom
will be behind your enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Do not plant until the earth is warm,
or else the seed will only swell and rot.
As a rule, the si^e of the seed will indi-
cate the depth to plant it, starting with the
smallest at one-half of an inch, such as cel-
ery, parsnips, etc., while peas and beans
may be put cne and a half inches deep.
General Fertilizer, — A fertilizer composed
of superphosphate and wood ashes is one
of the best for general purposes that can
be used. About 20 bushels of wood ashes
and one bag of superphosphate per acre will
give good results, as the superphosphate
usually contains a fair percentage of am-
monia as well as phosphoric acid. If ma-
nure is used also it will be an advantage.
If nitrogen is lacking in the soil, the best
source is nitrate of soda, as it is very solu-
ble and gives immediate results on all kinds
of soils and crops.
Have a Plan. — In all farm operations of
the year the farmer should have a plan. A
successful manufacturer, merchant, or edi-
tor must do likewise and continue in so do-
ing or lose the chances of success, and so
must the farmer work by system or he will
work out no permanent triumphs. All of
which is most patent and common-place
truth. Mature, therefore, a well-considered
plan of operations for the year's work and
resolutely follow it up. A clear conception
of the end in view is necessary to accom-
plish that end, and remember that even a
poor plan is better than no plan at all.

ward comes, "Here am I; send me."— Selected.

Wife — I've got such a headache. I wish
I oould keep Johnnie out of the house for
an hour or two.
Husband — Why not go to the door and
tell him to "come in this instant"?

[ "It's really distressing to think," said the
wealthy Mr. Farrasy, "that many very com-
mon and ignorant people will be admitted to
heaven."
"Well," replied Mr. Cutting, "that needn't
worry you."
What More Could She Expect?
Old Mrs. Simmers was well-to-do, but par-
simonious. She attended all church meet-
ings regularly, but her contributions to the
. eoUection-plate would certainly have en-
riched no one.
One Sunday morning the old lady took
her little grandson to church with her. The
boy watched everything with bright and
hawk-like eyes and he took a deep interest
in the discussion that followed at home
later, during dinner.
"How was the sermon?" asked Mrs. Sim-
mers's daughter.
"Poor," said Grandma Simmers emphati-
cally, "mighty poor.'
"But, Grandma," said the little boy, in-
terrupting her, quietly, "what could you
expect for a penny?"

Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especially the large Yor£ Fresh beda
of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Elale and Rhubarb, and
Strawberry set out, plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Com; sow Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Cu-
cumber, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper,
at the close of the month. Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
The Japan Persimmon, grafted on our
wild persimmon, is said to be a grand suc-
cess.
Trim your fruit trees so as to give a free,
open top, no two limbs touching or crossing
each other.
Chickens are always healthier when they
have plenty of sand and gravel about them.
Heavy fowls sometimes receive severe in-
juries in trying to fly down from high
perches.
For almost all farm crops it is better to
mix mineral fertilizers with stable manure
and apply the whole thinly, than to fertilize
altogether with either.
Potash fertilizers have decidedly proved
the desirable qualities of fruits. Wherever
the percentage of this element has been
raised, the change is accompanied by an
increase of sugar and a decrease of acid.
This is important — a matter of aollars and
cents. Other things being equal, the fruit
with the largest per cent of sugar will bring
the highest price.
Sowing Seeds. — ^An error often committed
is sowing seeds too deep. The depth at
which seeds are best sown depends much
upon soil and climate. A thinner covering
is required in a close, thick, heavy soil than
in one light and sandy. Experiments made
with wheat show that sown at the depth of
one inch all the seeds come up in twelve
days, while that sown at two inches re-
quired eighteen days to appear above ground
and only seven- eighths of the seed sown. As
a general rule, the proper depth is from one
to three inches.
The Arab who invented alcohol died nine
hundred years ago, but his spirit still lives.

t; Running Expenses.
^ "Your bookkeeper seems to be a bright
young woman?" "Yes; but she has some
very eccentric ideas." "Indeed?" "Yes.
She enters our messenger boy's wages as
'running expenses.' "
Her Opinion.
"Man," remarked the youth with the
noisy tie, "is a fouperior animal."
"That's waat," rejoined the young lady in
the parlor scene. "A man can be more
kinds of a donkey than a donkey can."
Not Impossible.
Neighbor — It's funny how people can live
j so near in a large city and not know each
other's affairs.
Second Neighbor — ^You're right. Twitson
I! eays he lives in the next room to his wife,
11 and didn't know she had twins until he read
I it in the papers.
He Followed the Lady.
A native of Ireland started away on his
first trip. Never having been in a railroad
station he did not know how to get his
railroad ticket, but he saw a lady going in
and determined to follow her lead.
The lady went to the ticket-box, and,
putting down her money, said:
"Maryhill, single."
Next in line was Pat, who promptly
planked down his money and said:
"Patrick Murphy, married."

Gjurden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas, Pota-
toes, Beets, Corn, Spinach, Mustard, Tumipa, Cu-
cumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okra,
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery Salsify, Pepper, Lettuce,
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and March
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter use.
Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savojr
Cabbage for plants to be set out in June. Beans may
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head;
draw up earth to Potato rines. Turnips sowed last
month should be hoed and thinned. Transplant
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect
fine heads. Citron and Watermelon plant. Small
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminate
weeds. Additional root crop may now be sowm.
Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs. Remember
to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOTES.
Over-Cropping.— It is the sheerest folly
to plant a larger acreage than can be well
cultivated. Good cultivation is essential to
make a successful crop, but if the acreage
planted is greater than the means for culti-
vation, the result must be a poor crop or a
failure. Every farmer ought to know and
act upon the principle that one acre well
cultivated is worth two badly attended to.
We say, then, if you want a good crop,
plant no more than can be thoroughly cul-
tivated, and you will save time, labor and
money.
Buying Tools. — Every farmer should now
determine what tools he will need for the
approaching season's work, and make ar-
rangements for procuring them. He should
also endeavor to get the best, and to do this
he should inform himself of the -juperior
merits of the kinds made. When he cannot
examine the implement and find out itd
merits, he should send for circular! and
illustrations and full directions and get the
testimony of others who have used or are
using them. I>o not wait until you need the
implement, as it will then be too late to
make a satisfactory inquiry or examination.
In planting all garden crops the tempta-
tion is to do things in a hurry. There ia
nothing ever gained but much lost by hur-
rying; take time to do everything thor-
oughly.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the
bridge over which he must pass himself.

j|Gg=The fact of immortality is not weakened be-
cause it is enshrouded with mystery and in its
presence the intellect of man must acknowledge
its impotency. Demonstration of the fact in
terms of mathematical precision is manifestly
impossible. We have no data upon which to base
our arguments. We can give wing to the imagin-
ation, but that is not proof. We have analysis,
but analyses are not proof. Even Paul exclaims:
"Behold, I show you a mystery." Christ merely
says, "If it were not so I would have told you."—

Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc,
hoe them frequently and draw earth to the sterna;
thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots, Parsnips,
and Salsify, and sow all Muds omitted last month.
Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce, Tomato, ^g
Plant from hotbeds to warm borders. Plant Beaas,
bush or bunch, for a succession; Lima, Carolina and
other pole Beans, Cabbage plants, sow seed if not
done last month, also. Carrot, Cauliflower, Cucum-
ber, Indian Com crops which have failed first sowing.
Repeat Melons, Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes,
Pumpkin and Squash. Sow Cabbage for winter,
Com plant for succession. Finish sowing all kinda
of Aromatic, Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FARM NOTES.
Rye Pasture. — Rye sown this month will
make an excellent summer pasture for milch
cows and give a larger return of rich milk
and butter than the wild and coarse grasses
and Aveeds of the woods.
Preparations for Harvest. — Every needed
means for the approaching harvest should
be made ready. Mowers, rakes, scythe%,
barns, stack bottoms, etc., should all be ex-
amined and put in order. Whatever help
may be required should also be engaged be-
forehand.
One of the excellent methods of feeding
corn to young chickens is to give it in a
crushed or cracked condition. It may be
fed to them dry, or it may be scalded to
advantage, but it should always be given
fresh, as, if mixed with water or any other
liquid, it quickly grows musty or sour if not
used.
Compost Heap. — Everything that can be
done in the accumulation and preparation
of the compost heap should ue done, and
much can be done by careful cleaning up
around the yards, fence corners, horse and
cow lots. All such material with loose com
stalks, husks, and other vegetable matter
should be raked and swept up about the
premises and added to the compost heap for
spring and summer crops. You cannot make
good crops without manure and all thus
made on the farm is so much money saved
from buying fertilizers.

acre? That's what Home's Best made last year. It's fine for Tobacco,
too.

4®- We ask too much of men about what they
believe or do not believe. The working and living
Church of Christ is not that which shall only have
a place and a welcome for those who are fully
equipped with faith in aU its sacred doctrines, but
a church which, like Christ, shall draw all men
unto it, and gradually, by its spiritual love and
care, nourish men into its highest privileges and
-Selected.
Prize Winner.
The Pessimist — ^Don't you believe that
marriage is a lottery?
The Optimist — I certainly do. I won a
grand prize in one once!
Criticism.
"Now, Little Sunshine, the heroine of the
play," said the dramatist, "is the daughter
of an illicit distiller."
"In that case," remarked the coarse man-
ager, "you had better call her Little Moon-
shine."
Woman's Retort.
The mild business man was calmly read-
ing his paper in the crowded trolley car.
In front of him stood a little woman hang-
ing by a strap. Her arm was being slowly
torn out of her body, her eyes were flashing
at him, but she constrained herself to si-
lence.
Finally, after he had endured it for twen-
ty minutes, he touched her arm and said:
"Madame, you are standing on my foot."
"Oh, am I?" she savagely retorted. "I
thought it was a valise."
Moon. — The only lighting monopoly that
ne^er made money.
Yule-Log. — A Christmas protege of the
grate, too young to smoke, too tough to
bum, and too green to warm up to any-
body.
Kiss. — An indescribable something that is
of no value to anyone, but is much prized
by the right two.
Summer. — An oppressive and expensive
season invented by rural cottage and hotel
owners, railroad and steamboat companies
and the iceman.
Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed, Summer
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Ckrrots;
transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons
and Squashes may be planted for a succession, also
Com. As herbs come into flower they should be cut
and put into a shady place to dry. The chief labor
of the garden had better be directed to what is al-
ready in growth.
FARM NOTES.
Keep down the grass and weeds.
June is the month of the longest days.
Don't overstock the pasture.
Prepare a piece of land for turnips.
See that stock have supply of fresh water.
Utilizei all waste places by plowing and
sowing some late crop. ^
Sweet potato slips may be put out the
whole of the month.
No matter how dry, keep the plows and
hoes agoing.
Don't plow corn after the tassels appear,
as it injures the roots and lessens the crop.
Best Month. — June is considered by many
the best month for removing large liml«
from old trees, but unless one has an abun-
dance of help it is difficult to spare the time
at this busy season. Cover all cuts with
shellac varnish, paint or melted grafting
wax.
Grass Plot. — -It will be well for those who
are limited to a small garden to appropriate
a portion of it to a grass plot for their
fowls.
Taking Things for Granted.— The failure
of many a crop may be traced to this delu-
sive principle of action. Taking it for
granted that the year will be seasonable,
the farmer often ' neglects that thorough
preparation and good, honest work essential
to making a good crop. He looks and trusts
to the sunshine and rain to accomplish
what his brain and hand should do, and the
result i's a short crop. Put forth all your
energies this year, whether the season be
good or bad, and make better crops than
ever before.

-•^Love is life, because God Is love. God is
eternal, and man who loves is eternal also. Hate
is temporary, destructive and is death. He who
hates is temporary. Selfishness soon works itself
out. Greed, avarice, envy, the insistence >n one's
own will, all of these are in the face of God's laws
and therefore are self-destructive.— Selected.
An Inquiry.
"Emerson advises every young man to !
hitch his wagon to a star."
"But most stars are rather exclusive. As
a second choice, does he say anything ah^ut
a soubrette?"
The Safer V/ay.
"Of coui-se I don't want to criticise, but I
don't think it was altogether right for Da-
vid to say 'All men are liars.'"
"Well, at any rate, it was safer, than to
pick out one man and say it to Mm."
An Honorary Degree.
Freddie — What's an honorary degree, Sad ?
Johnson — ^That's a title a college cojafers
on a man who would never be able to get it
if he had to pass an examination.
Billy Made a Guess at It.
Having arranged with his wife to make a
long- promised call, a faithful husband ar-
rived home in the afternoon only to find his
better half out and no message left to ex-
plain her absence.
, Finally the husband inquired of their
t trusted handy man.
"Oh, Billy," he said, "can you tell me any-
thing of my wife's whereabouts?"
"Well, I don't know, sir," said Billy ,re-
' spectfully, "but I suppose they're in the
wash."
Fly. — A familiar summer boarder who
mingles with the cream of society, gets
stuck on the butter and leaves his specs
behind.
Diamond. — A bright gem the sparkle of
which sometimes renders a woman stone-
blind to the defects of the man proffering it.
Echo.— The only thing that can cheat a
woman out of the la«t word.
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper Plant!,
Cauliflower and Brocoli. Sow Oorrott and Parmips
if needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Turnipfl
may be sowa; transplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinach
may be sown toward the last of the month. Irish
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant Beans;
sow Cabbage seed for Collards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; bow Tumip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Out herbs for winter use as they come into
flower.
FARM NOTES.
Remember that eternal vigilance is the
price you must pay for successful farming.
Plant peas over your whole corn crop, the
hogs will gather them in the fall.
If you would avoid hog cholera, keep your
swine clean.
bheep should be tagged and kept free
from filth.
Dry your fruit and sell it. See articles in
this number on the evaporating of fruit.
Deep working of cotton which disturbs the
roots is injurious at this season.
Don't neglect to raise fodder crops for
stock. The cow- pea, pearl millet, sweet com
are all good.
Give your working stock time to digest
their food at noon. Two hours is not too
much.
The use of the hay cap is gradually in-
creasing. Try it and you will not abandon
it.
Don't Starve Fowls.— One cannot reason-
ably expect to raise strong and healthy
fowls if they are kept in a starved or neg-
lected condition.
Moulting Fowls. — The moulting of fowls
is but only a natural process with most
animals in changing their summer coat for
a winter one.
Ground bone should occasionally be mixed
in the soft food for chickens. The bones,
however, should be free of odor. Ground
bone will greatly assist in the growth of
chicks, and in a" great measure prevent leg
weakness, wkich i» c«dised from too rapid
growth.

fl®*The doctrine of the Fatherhood of God is de-
signed to teach us oujr dependence upon Him for
our daily needs, both common and spiritual. We
are all benefactors of His general blessings. We
all live, move and have our being in Him.— Se-
lected.
In Anticipation.
"I pity folks who have never been mar-
ried," murmured Mrs. Turtledove.
"So do I!" growled Turtledove. "Just
think of what they've got coming!"
A New Speed Record.
Farmer Greene — (reading paper) — ^Maria,
did you know that our sun was rushing
through space at over a million miles a
second ?
Mrs. Greene — Do you mean our son Josh,
in New York? Land sakes! Has he bought
an automobile?
Maybe So.
Uncle Walter, with his little niece Ruth
in his lap, was about to telephone a mes-
sage to a distant city. While waiting for
the eonection to be made little Kuth asked
if she might talk over the open wire. The
young lady operator heard the question and
said, "Yes, please let her."
Ruth, taking the receiver, first told her
name. Then the operator asked her where
she was, and to this Ruth replied:
"I am in Uncle Walter's lap — don't you
wish you were?"
Why There Was Great Commotion in the
Farm House.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed the drummer
who had put up in the old farmhouse over
night. "What was that noise down below?
Football rush?"
"Worse than that, stranger,'* chuckled the
o.a. farmer, as he sniflFed out the candle.
"You see, I have eight darters an' each one
of them has a beau who calls on Thursday
nights. Wall, the first couple that gets the
parlor can have it. That's why they are
running."
Failure, The quickest method known for
making money.
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans, prepare ground for Turnips,
Spinach, Shallot, and bow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early Dwarf and Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Collard seed, earth up Celery, Broccoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stand winter, Carrots sow. Sqiiaahea
sow. Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table use at inter-
vals. Potatoes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill
for heading; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for
winter supply, but as the seed vegetate with diffi-
culty at this season, repeat until successful; cut sage
and other herbs, gather seed and prepare ground for
late crops. ,
FARM NOTES.
The Cabbage Worm. — Dusting the plants
with fine air-slaked lime has proved effect-
ual, and lime has the merit of being easily
procured and is conveniently applied.
Money in Poultry. — Is there money in
poultry? Let Holland answer. In that
country there are many farms of not more
than 20 or 25 acres on which not only liv-
ings have been made, but on which the own-
ers have got rich. Truck farming and breed-
ing of poultry and egg production seem to
be the chief sources of money mailing.
To Destroy Cut Worms. — At a late in-
stitute a Mr. Sharp spoke on cut worms.
He said: Of late years I have avoided them
by plowing my fields late in August, as the
fly lays its eggs on the grass in the summer
, which hatch about the last of August or the
first of September. The worms will eat for
a few weeks; then go into the ground for
winter, and early fall plowing covers these
eggs and there will be no trouble with them
the following spring.
Have Written Agreements. — The memory
of some men is exceedingly weak, not to
say treacherous. When the time comes for
settlement, however well understood the
agreement previously, they do not recollect
It. It is therefore best in all business mat-
ters (not trivial), to have a written agree-
ments if you would not repent of your in-
discretion and confidence in your fellowmaiL
"Experience is a dear teacher."

;8^The individual man, while subject to suffer-
ing and pain and mental anguish, is not brought
nearer to God unless that suffering has its origin
in love for his people or his fellows It was
Christ's mission to become perfect through suffer-
ing and the Christian's perfection conies from
Christian suffering, getting thereby the light of
heaven. The selfish and worldly soul pfunges
only into darkness.— Selected.
Proved!
"Your son is a philosophical student, I
hear?"
"Yes, I believe he is. I can't understand
what he's talking about."
A Failure.
"I hear your son has given up scientific
farming."
"Yes."
"What was the trouble?"
"I believe he found that in order to be
successful the scientific farmer would have
to work just the same as if he were doing
it the other way."
She Couldn't Qualify.
J. Ben Lee had a caller from the "country
the other day.
"Be you the man who makes picters?"
she asked.
Mr. Lee admitted that he was.
"Can you make picters of little children ?"
"Certainly."
"And what do you charge for 'em?" was
the next query.
"Three dollars a dozen."
"Oh, shucks!" said the woman, in a dis-
appointed tone; "here I'll have to wait tili
next year, for I've only got eleven."
Condensed Milk.
A lady remarked to a popular divine that
his sermons were a little too long. "Don't
you think so?" said she— "just a little?"
■ Ah, dear madame," replied the divine, "I
am afraid you don't like tiie sincere milk
of the word." "Yes, I do," said she; "but
you know the fashion, nowadays, is con-
densed milk."
— A great many men are cottage-built,
that is they have but one story. And they
are forever telling it.
Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is ag^ain commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the Pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant jCabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoh; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may
be transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
Fuel. — The winter supply of w^ood should
be cut and placed under shelter for conve-
nience and comfort of wintry days. Wood
cut now and split fine, will be dry by Christ-
mas. In burning green wood one-half to
three-fourths of the heat produced passes
off latent and useless in the evaporting sap
or water, but in dry wood we get nearly
all the heat.
Transplanting. — In taking up plants for
transplanting, let as much soil as possible
adhere to the fine roots, and to accomplish
this, they should be taken up with a fork,
not pulled up. When the plants are large
enough t6' set out, select a rainy day if pos-
sible. If otherwise water them after sun-
down every day until rooted.
Look Out for Lice. — When you notice
some of the chicks trailing their wings, look
out for lice. Examine beneath the wings, on
the top of the head and about the vent.
Look closely and you will find the cause.
Sowing Clover Seed.— If clover seed has
not been sown upon wheat land wait until
the frost is out of the ground, and as soon
as dry enough harrow with a Thomns
smoothing harrow, then sow about ten
pounds of good seed to the acre and if the
soil is in good condition go over the field
with a roller and a good catch of clover
will be secured. A very successftil way ol
securing a good "catch" of clover is as soon
as the oats arc sown sow the clover seed
and roll well immediately after.

WEATHER FORECASTS FOR OCTOBER.—
Ist to 2d, rain period; 3d to 5th, foggy, misty; 6th
to 7th, wiad and rain; 8th to 9th, stormy weather;
10th to 13th, "Indian Summer"; 14th to loth, sear-
city of rain felt; 16th to 18th, thunder showers; 19th
to 20th, h'ghtning and severe wind storms; 21st to
23d, dangerous gales; 24th to 25th, mild period;
26th to 29th, pleasant autum weather; 30th to 31st,
unsettled, disagreeable.
i^=There is not one who does not have tempta-
tions in life. Never mind how high a man's posi-
tion, or how exalted in the spiritual realm of life,
he is sure to be confronted by severe and trying
temptations- The man who walks uprightly and
takes a firm stride in the path of life does not feel
so susceptible to temptations, because he has
moral strength.— Selected.
A Good Trick.
Charlie — There was a splendid trick done
last evening. I saw a man actually turn a
handkerchief into an egg.
Billy — That's nothing. I saw a man only
about a week or two ago turn a cow into a
field.
* Wanted to Learn the Formula.
Beck (despondent) — I said something my
wife don't like and she hasn't spoken to me
for two days.
Peek (eagerly)— €an you remember what
it was you said?
Compensatory.
•How does your grandmother get along
; now that she has lost all her teeth?"
f "Oh, all right. You know she has a bit-
I ing tongue!"
J His Sure Thing.
;' The Heiress — And haven't you any finan-
'" eial prospects, George, dear?
George — Why, yes. I'm figuring . on a
sure thing that ought to net me a half mil-
lion at least.
:. The Heiress — ^What is the sure thing,
George, dear?
George — You.
She Didn't Sleep Well.
A woman who lives in an inland town,
while going to a convention in a distant city
spent one night of the journey on board a
steamboat. It was the first time she had
. ever traveled by water. She reached her
journey's end extremely fatigued. To a
friend who remarked it she replied:
'Yes, I'm tired to death. I don't know as
I care to travel by water again. I read the
card in ray stateroom about how to put the
life-preserv^er on, and I thought I under-
stood it; but I guess I didn't. Somehow, I
couldn't go to sleep with the thing on."
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also CauMower and Broccoli. Tiimips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant;
small bulb Onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress; strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and
frost; collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and
expose them to the winds and air on a dry bench be-
fore they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Claning Up. — All spare time should be
devoted to cleaning up all refuse matter
about the fields and homestead. Neatness
is alw^ays commendablej and a good farmer
will take delight in the neat appearance of
his farm.
Storing Crops. — Too much care and atten-
tion cannot be given to storing crops. Com
packed in large bulks is sure to heat, and
so with root crops. Potatoes should be dry
before they are stored away. Onions re-
quire a dry and cool air. The loft of a
tight barn is an excellent place, the onions
being spread upon layers of straw.
Fattening Hogs. — Hogs upon the range
should now be turned into the chufa, pea
or potato patches or penned and pushed
with full rations of food. Occasional messes
of bran and soft food wil be beneficial. Be
sure and keep the pens clean and well sup-
plied with an abundance of litter, to rnake
manure. Keep charcoal in trough as it is
a great aid in fattening.
Fruit and Farming. — Fruit growing and
farming should go hand in hand. Both can
be carried on with profit on the same plan-
tation. There are numerous places upon
every farm which a fruit tree exactly fits.
Space bein^ all utilized, expenses are re-
duced to the lowest limit, and a respectable
income is virtually assured. A farm with-
out fruit is of little comparative value.
Any family can keep fowls on their prem-
ises without much trouble, at merely nomi-
nal cost.

JO®*What is it that enables a man to lay hold of
his opportunities that they become incidents of
success? It is not due to any exceptional gift of
genius. It lies simply in the power to concentrate
his energies on one thing at a time. It is this gird-
ing of the will to do well each new duty that
comes that makes a man ready for every new op-
portunity.—Selected.
Why.
She — I wonder why a woman alwg,ys mar-
ries the man who rescues her from drown-
ing?
He — That's what the man wonders later
on.
Unprofessional.
Pat — 'And phat doctor did ye have?
Mike — ^None at all. Oi doctored meself,
and got well in two days!
Pat — Sure, 'tis a poor sort av doctor ye'd
make, to cure a patient so quickly as thot!
His Last Chance.

ute your long life ?
Oldest Inhabitant — I don't know yit,
' young feller. They's several of these patent

me.
No Trouble at All.
When the young man who sold chickens,
cleaned and dressed, called one morning on
his usual rounds the young housekeeper
•who was about to buy remarked:
"I should think you would hate to cut
off the heads of those •^oor chickens."
"I do," replied the man, "but I manage
to get around that pretty well."
•*How?" asked the tender-hearted pur-
chaser.
"Chop the chickens off," was the reply.
Civilization has replaced the Indian whoop
by the collejje yell, although a visitor from
another planet might not recognize the im-
provement.
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
learea of the Cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery
earth-up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips
and Salsify dig for conrenient access. Now is a
good time to transplant fniit and ornamental trees
and shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting evergreens.
FARM NOTES.
— Never break off a limb on a valuable
tree; always make a smooth cut.
Don't Plant Close.— It is a correct obser-
vation that nine-tenths of our orchards are
planted too close, and their usefulness is
greatly impaired thereby. Give each per-
manent tree plenty of room.
Setting Trees.— Not every man knows
how to dig up and set a tree. In digging
up a tree the edge of the blade of the
spade should always point to the tree and
a little trench be dug some distance from
the trunk. By this means no roots are
severed that are useful. In setting it out
the roots should not be bunched or cramped.
Tool Cleaning.— Clean and put away all
tools which are not now needed. If it pays
to clean them when in use, much more will
it prove economy to bestow extra care upon
them before laying them aside for the win-
ter. The iron should be dressed with some
preparation, such as the following: "Rosin
and beeswax in the proportion of four of
rosin to>»ne of wax melted together. Ap-
ply hot. It may also be well to pamt the
woodwork.
Setting Hens.— In setting hens for early
chickens, some think it best to set several at
the same time. Then, if they do not hatch
well, the chicks can be piven to one hen, and
the others supplied with eggs.
Stop it at Once.— When the poulterer dis-
covers the appearance of disease m hij
flock, he must make an effort to stop it
at once, and not leave them to their fate.

45>"Every man is under sacred obligations to
bring to the solution the profound problems
about him all those mental faculties with which
he has been endowed by the Almighty. Christ-
ianity is sanity, and whosoever transgresses the
plain laws of reason, basing the processes of
reason upon known and knowable and self-evi-
dent facts is to be spurned and rejected.— Selected.
How It Is.
He — I'd just love to kiss you.
She — Oh, well, if you love me, you may!
Don't Tempt Me.
Father — ^Why don't you work, my son?
If you only knew how much happiness work
gives, you would begin at once.
Sop. — Father, I am striving to lead a life
of self-denial, in which happiness plays no
part. Do not tempt me.
Embracing the Other.
"By the way, Bishop, why is it that you
always address your congregation as
'Brethren' and never mention the women in
your sermons ?" "But, my dear madam, the
one embraces the other.'* "Oh, but. Bishop,
not in church."
Not for Him.
A quiet and retiring citizen occupied a
eeat near the door of a crowded car when a
masterful stout woman entered.
Having no newspaper behind which to
hide he was fixed and subjugated by her
glittering eye. He rose and offered his
place to her. Seating herself — without
thanking him — she exclaimed in tones that
reached to the farthest end of the car:
"What do you want to stand up there
for? Come here and sit on my lap."
"Madam," gasped the man, as his face
became scarlet, "I beg your pardon, I — I — "
"What do you mean?" shrieked the wo-
man, "You know very well I was speak-
ing to my niece there behind you."
— Many a girl who has money to bum
doesn't seem to care for a match.
^With the exception of the Smiths,
Jones and Browns there are few families as
old as the Hills.
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection shoiild now be
attended to. If the weather be open the ground may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dimg prepare fOT
hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish and Salad
sow in frames, also Lettuce. Transplanting trees
may still be done. Pnme frtdt trees, vines, etc.
Transplant all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown
in October will be fit to put out. Sow large York
to head in Janxiary and February. Small Onions may
still be planted. Earth-up Celery in dry weather.
Thin Spinach as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
Fruit and Ashes. — Fruit crops are greatly
benefitted by ashes, as either wheat, vege-
tables or any of the other garden crops. Ap»
plied early in the season to fruit trees
whose foliage is yellow and half dead, a
great change in the color and quantity will
be noticed before fall.
Soda for Grass. — For a quick stimulant
to a grass crop growing upon a rich soil,
nothing can beat nitrate of soda, sown
broadcast, at the rate of 150 to 200 pounds
per acre in the spring, just as the grass is
starting to grow, and previous to a gentle
rain.
Better Stock.— When the use of better
stock becomes a leading feature on all farms
it will be difficult to supply the wants of
this country in feeding stuffs. We will
have a still better home market for grain,
and will send abroad more butter, cheese,
condensed milk, and meats, while the profits
from farming will be greater because of the
use of superior animals which give larger
returns at less cost than before.
Setting Hens. — ^When setting hens, it is a
good plan to set two or three at a time, and
put the broods under the care of one mother,
being careful to select the best one. In a
short time the others will commence laying
again.
Peas for Cows. — Peas are rapidly coming
into favor as a food for milch cows, espe-
cially in the winter production of milk, as
they are easily grown and are worth twice
and a half their weight in bran. Sow two
and a quarter bushels per acre.

THE STRAIGHT ROAD TO HEALTH
WITH INSTANT RELIEF FROM
PAIN AND SUFFERING
For prompt relief, and permanent cures, follow and stick to the
line of remedies named below; they are all medicinal preparations of
unusual merit, have been tried-out and found successful and of
reliable manufacturer, not only harmless, but highly beneficial.
Yagers's Cream Chloroform Liniment.— This ^ever
popular liniment has stood the test of time, and its equal has not
been found for general use, both family and stable. It is equally
adapted to man or beast. Large bottles sold everywhere for 25
cents. Accept no substitute-.
Yager's Sarsaparilla with Celery. — As a reconstructive
tonic and general builder up of a run dow^n system and nerve
restorer, has accomplished more permanent cures than any other
like preparation befora the public. If you need a toning up of
your general system, give it a trial. Sold at 50 cents a bottle by
all dealers.
Yager's Headache Tablets. — Put up in little vials, con-
venient for the pocket, always ready to cure a headache or neu-
ralgia, and they will actually cure it, no matter from -what cause.
Two tablets taken twenty minutes apart will do the work, and no
bad effects. They are perfectly harmless. Price 10 cents per bottle.
Sold everyivhere, or mailed by the makers on receipt of price in stamps.
These remedies constantly on hand in your home is a safeguard
and readiness for emergencies. Be prepared and you will . have no
cause for regret, but may have occasion to congratulate your fore-
thought.

IF THE SUN WERE TO GO OUT.
I recently heard this statement: "If the
sun were to go out at the present day it
would be sixteen years before the inhabi-
tants of the earth would know it." Is this
correct, and why should we not I now it for
sixteen years?
This is not correct. The sun is a little
more than 92,000,000 miles from the earth,
and, as light travels 186,000 miles a second,
it takes it about eight minutes and a quar-
ter to reach the earth. If the sun were ex-
tinguished, therefore, we would know it
eight minutes and a quarter after it hap-
pened.
THE LONGEST DAY.
June 21 is the longest day with us, as
with all that portion of the globe above the
equator, where the rising and setting of the
sun are kept within the limits of twenty-
four hours.
At London and Bremen the longest day
has sixteen and one-half hours.
At Hamburg and Dantzig, seventeen hours.
At Stockholm, eighteen and one-half
hours.
At St. Petersburg and Tobolsk, nineteen
hours.
At Tornea, Finland, twenty-two hours.
At Wardbury, Norway, the longest day
lasts from May 21 to July 22, without in-
terruption.
At Spitzbergen it lasts three and one-half
months.
THE SUN'S TEMPERATURE.
The amount of heat emitted by the sun
is 46,000 times as much as is received by
the earth. If the sun were incased in ice
46 feet thick, it would melt in one minute.
If a bridge of ice from the earth to the
sun could be formed 2 1-2 miles square and
93,000,000 miles long, and the sun's entire
heat could be concentrated on it, it would
melt in one second, and in seven seconds
more it would dissolve into vapor. It is
certain that for ^,000 years there has been
no great variation in this heat because the
distribution on earth of plant and animal
life in that period has undergone no change.
It is a g-ometrically demonstrable fact that
an annual shrinkage of 300 feet in the sun's
diameter would liberate enough heat to
maintain its radiation without any fall in
its temperature. If more than 300 feet, the
sun would be hotter at the end of a year
than at its beginning. If, on this hypothe-
sis, it maintains its average contraction,
5,000,000 years must elapse before its di-
ameter will be reduced one-half. It is not
likely that present conditions can prevail
upon the earth, therefore, for more than
10,000,000 years.
The earth has not changed its time of ro-
tation on its axis by the 1-100 of a seeond,
and probably not by the 1-1000 of a second,
since the beginning of the Christian Era.
TO RECKON EASTER.
Date Depends on the Moon ani Several
Other Things.
The Christian festival of Easter corres-
ponds to the Pascha, or Passover, of the i
Jewish faith. Easter day (from which the |
rest of religious movable feasts is recorded)
is invariably the first Sunday succeeding
tx.e fourteenth day of the calendar moon
which (fourteenth day) falls on or next
after March 21. If the fourteenth day
should be Sunday, Easter day would be
the Sunday following.
Only twice during the ast decade has
Easter been later than April 15. Through-
out the last eleven years, with a single ex-
ception, Easter has irallen in April. In 1902
the date was March 30.
OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
The Solor System consists of the Sun,
eight Planets with their Satellites, a belt of
Asteroids, or small bodies between the or-
bits of Mars and Jupiter, and a number of
periodic Comets. The Planets, in the order
of their distances from the Sun, are Mer-
cury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune; in the order of their
size as well as of their mass or weight, they
are Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Uranus,
Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter.
As the date f^f Creation and all subse-
quent history in the Bible are established
in the heavens by planetary movements,
men will be as successful in chopping up the
s\m as is picking the Bible to pieces.
STUDIES OF THE WEATHER.
It is not so many years since the study
of the weather was considered a very vain
pursuit. The wandering gales were either
believed to obey no laws, or they had laws
which it was hopeless to try to find out.
Far otherwise is the view of educated people
to-day; and those who make a special study
of the subject assure us that only time, ob-
servation, and thought are necessary to en-
able us to comprehend the processes of the
atmoephere, and to a certain extent pre-
dict the coming weather.

FAMILY FUN.
— ^Daiiy fair — ^the milk-maid.
— ^Handsome apples are sometimes sour.
— Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets,
put out the kitchen fire.
— ^What society most needs is less kissing
before marriage and more kissing after.
— 'Weather signs — -When you see a doctor
and nurse take charge of the house, look
out for squalls.
— ^Why are country girls' cheeks like well
printed cotton? Because they are warranted
to wash and keep color.
— The man who drives the heaviest wagon
has the "best show on the road." Every-
body has to turn out for him.
— ^An old negro cook says, "Sass is power-
ful good in everything but children. Dey
need some oder kind of dressin'.''
— "There is no place like home," remarked
Mr. Henpeck, looking at a motto, and he
heartily added, "I'm glad there isn't."
— 'A young lady who was blamed for al-
lowing her glove to be discovered in a
young man's pocket, stated that she had no
hand in it.
— Even if a boy is whistling "I want to
be an angel," it is better to keep the cookies
on the top shelf, and put the step ladder in
the garr-'t.
— Matchmaking mamma — to her marriage-
able daughter — "Virginia, dear, don't lose
sight of that gentleman in mourning. He
may be a widower.
— "You are an idiot!" angrily exclaimed
a domineering wife. "So my friends said
when I married you," and she became more
infuriated than ever.
— "Marry a woman of sense, my son, mar-
ry a woman of sense," said a fond father to
his son. "A woman of cents! Nonsense.
I want a woman of dollars when I get mar-
ried."
— "I can't hold the baby any longer," said
a young father, "it is getting too heavy."
"Pshaw, Jim ! you used to hold me for hours
and never complain."
— ^"Never borrow trouble," said a husband
to his wife. "Oh, let her borrow it if she
can," exclaimed the next door neighbor,
"she never returns anything you know."
— The husband of a beautiful wife upon
returning home one day, was met by one
of his offsprings, all smiles, clapping his
hands, and saying, "Pa, Mr. B. has been
here — -he is such a nice man — ^he kissed all
around, and mother too!"
— ^A young woman sitting at the break-
fast table the other morning, when an al-
most breathless neighbor came in and in-
formed her that her husband was dead.
She calmly remarked, "Wait until I get
through breakfast and then you'll hear
howling."
— "There is a great difference between
housekeeping and boarding out," said Mr.
Younghusband, "for when I boarded out, I
had to wait sometimes half an hour for my
dinner, but now I have it just when I can
get it."
— A minister made an intermiable call
upon a lady of his acquaintance. Her little
daughter who wes present grew weary of
his conversation and whispered in an audible
tone, "Didn't he bring his amen with him,
mamma?" A word to the wise is sufficient.
"There is* one thing about a kiss," said a
gentleman to his wife, "that makes life
very dear to us men." "Oh, I know what it
is!" was the reply, "it is a pair of pretty
lips." "Yes, indeed, and the satisfaction a
man has of knowing that the lady's mouth
is tightly closed for a short time."
— "Where did this baby come from?**
asked a little three-year-old girl of the
nurse, who was washing the squalling little
stranger, "Why, from heaven, of course! re-
plied the nurse. "Well, if it screamed like
that there, I don't wonder they sent it off'*
was the stunning rejoinder.
— A little fellow being told by a very
young man to get off his knee, that he was
too heavy to hold hm in that way, created
quite a sensation among the persons present
by yelling back: "Too heavy? Sister Sal
weighs a hundred pounds more than I, and
you held her on your knee for four hours
last night."
— ^During the recent civil war there were
two volunteers lying beneath their blankets,
looking up at the stars in a Virginia sky.
Says Jack: "What made you go into the
army, Tom?" "Well," replied Tom, "I had
no wife and I loved war. What made you
join the army, Jack?" "Well," he replied,
"I had a wife, and I loved peace, so I went
to the war."
— Remarks of severe parent to blooming
daughter upon discovering that one of the
legs of the big chair in the parlor had been
broken the Sunday evening previous: "I
wish you to understand, Sarah, that this
chair was constructed with a view to the
accommodation of one person at a time, and
has not the strength and scarcely the ca-
pacity for two."

Planters' Flue Curing Improves Tobacco Like Roasfini
Improves Green Coffee. Flue Curing Brings out th
Stimulating Aroma and Taste Found in Schnapp
that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger.
There are three ways us^d by farmers for curini
and preparing their tobacco for the market
namely sun cured, air cured, and flue <ured. Thi
old and cheap way is called air cured; the late
discovery and improved way is called flue cured
In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fieh
and suspended over intensely hot flues, in house
especially built to ret tin the heat, and there kep
in the proper temperature until this curing pro
cess develops in the tobacco a stimulating tastt
and fragrant aroma, just as green coflee is madi
fragrant and stimulatit g by the roasting processi
Schnapps tobacco is made entirely from choici'
selections f ripe, jnioy, flue cured leaf, g-rowi'
in the famous Piedmont country, where th«
best tobacco grows. That's why a 10c plug o^
iSchiiapps IS more economical than a much large
plug of cheap tobacco Many of the imitation;
on sale claimed to be "just as good" as Schnapps
have the genuine flue cure<i Schnapps quality o
tobacco on the outside of the plugs, but the insidt
of the plugs c >ntains cheap, heavily sweetened ai
cur«rd tobaccos. One chew of Schnapps w^il
satisfy tobacco hung-er long-er than two chews
of such tobacco, feixpert tests prove that tbii
flue cured tobacco requires and takes less sweet
ening than any other kind, and has a wholesom*
stimulating effect on chewers.
Schnapps is made entirely of the flue cured to
bacco. formerly sold to chewers from 75c to $1.0
per pound. Schnapps is sold at 50c per pound ii
5c cuts, strictly 10c and 15c plugs.

PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL.
I The work of the American farmer is the
"most important industrial work done in
the whole world. The last two years' crops
were worth more than all the gold in the
world for the last four hundred years.
The American farmer is to-day in a fair
way to furnish the bulk of the food supply
of the world. Our American farms pro-
duced 2,708,000,000 bushels of com, 909,000,-
000 bushels of oats, 084,000,000 bushels of
wheat, 3.5,000,000 bushels of rye and 183,-
000,000 bushels of barley. The grain crop
of the American farms would fill 5,625,000
standard freight cars and was valued at
$2,126,000,000.
Of other products the American farmer
raised 200,000.000 bushels of potatoes
(worth $138,000,000). 660,000,000 pounds of
tobacco (worth $52,000,000), and 60,000,000
tons of hay -(worth $605,000,000).
There are 18,274.551 horses and mules cm
American farms (nearly as many as there
are in Europe, excluding Russia, which has
20,020.000 horses and mules). Altogether
our (farm) horses and mules are valued at
$1,500,000,000.
- Including com, oats, wheat, barley, rioe,
rye and buHcwhent the United States pro-
duced a grand total of 4,521,000,000 bujshela,
or 225,000,000,000 pounds.
WEATHER SCIENCE.
Meterology, or modem weather- science,
is not much more than a quarter of a cen-
tury old, and dates from the employment
of the telegraph in transmitting reports
from different places of the state of weather
existing at them at the same time. The
word itself, however, is old, since it was
used by Aristotle some three hundred
years B. C. to name a treatise on water
and earthquakes. It does not come, as
some suppose, from the meteors or falling
stars, but from the Creek words meteros,
"soaring," and logos, a "discourse." As a
science it is of endless practical utility, not
only in commerce, engineering and agricul-
ture, but also in pleasure-seeking.
Diversify Your Crops. — It is bad policy
for any farmer to depend exclusively on the
production of a single crop (cotton, for ex-
ample), for the reason that the chances of
successful farming are far greater with a
diversity of crops thnn with a single one.
Moreover, the farmer should be independent.
He should produce upon his farm all of bis
needed supplies, and it is only by doing this
that he can become independent. We state
it as a fact beyond all uestion that the most
prosperous and sirccessful farmers are those
who diversify their crops.

HENRY D. TURNER.
JAMES H. ENNISS.
The Founders of Turner-Enniss N. G. Almanac.
In changing the name from "Turner's N. C. Almanac" to that of "Turner-Enniss
N. C. Almanac," it is but proper to state the reason therefor. Mr. Henry D. Turner,
the person wHo first began the publication of Turner's Almanac in 1838, bought an
almanac known then as the North Carolina Almanac. This almanac was published
about ten years before Mr. Turner placed his name upon its title page. So in fact
the publication is really 80 years old, instead of 70. The book was issued by Mr.
Turner up to 1867. So for 29 years it was strictly Turner's N. C. Almanac.
Mr. James H. Enniss succeeded Mr. Turner in the business of almanac publish-
ing. He enlarged the size of it, and added many raore pages to it. The publication
being much improved in every way and grew to be more popular than ever before
and its circulation largely increased. Mr. Enniss published the Almanac until his
death in 1900. Under the 33 years of Mr. Enniss' ownership it became more known
as Enniss' Almanac than Turner's. After the death of Mr. Enniss, the publication
was continued by his son, Pinck. C. Enniss. As both of the former publishers are
entitled to honors, hence the name "Turner-Enniss North Carolina Almanac" is
more appropriate, and carries with it the names of the two persons who have made
the publication famous in North Carolina. On page 66 of this issue will be found a
complete history of the Almanac. It is the purpose of the present publisher to k6ep
it up to the standard and make it more useful than ever before in its past history.

being a legislative year, the circuit courts
of the State are omitted, as the legislature
so changes the courts that a correct calen-
dar cannot be published until after the
Legislature adjourns, which is too late for
-the Almanac.

HOW CLOUDS AND FOGS DIFFER.
Clouds are bodies of moisture evaporated
from the eartli and again partially con-
densed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs
differ from clouds only in one respect —
they come in contact with the surface of the
earth while clouds are elevated above our
h&ads.
When the surface of the earth is warmer
than the lower air, the vapor of the earth,
being condensed by the chill air, becomes
mist or fog. But when the lower air is
warmer than the earth the vapor rises
through the air and becomes cloud.
Fog and mist differ in this respect, that
mist is a fine rain while fog is vapor not
sufficiently condensed to allow of its precip-
itation in drops.
METEOROLOGICAL.
Light requires eight minutes and eighteen
seconds to pass from the sun to the earth
when at its mean distance.
Wind power is derived from the unequal
heating of various portions of the earth by
the sun's rays.
If the earth were not enveloped with at-
mosphere, the temperature on the surface
would be abou 330 degrees Fahrenheit be-
low zero.
The temperature of the sun's surface is
greater than we have anywhere on the
earth. The temperature of the sun's sur-
face has been measured and determined to
be between 12,000 and 20,000 degrees ,F.
Lightning is zigzag because as it con-
denses the air in the immediate advance of
its path it flies from side to side in order to
pass where there is the least resistance to,
its progress. ><
The number of meteors seen each year is
far greater than is easily believed. It is es-
timated that over the whole earth from six
to seven hundred different falls of meteors
occur annually, while other authorities place
the aggregate at a much higher figure.
In a careful investigation by two Italian^
meteorologists, it has been found that a veil;
of cirrus clouds absorbs as much as 30 perj
cent of the sun's rays, while a slight fog,'
equally diffused in all directions, may inter-
cept from 58 to 92 per cent of the solar rays
that would be transmitted with a clear slqr.
The lowest temperature ever recorded on
the earth was taken at Werchojansk, in the
interior of Siberia, Jan. 15, 1885. It was
90 degrees and a fraction below zero. Wer-
chojansk is in the latitude of the pole of
cold. There the earth is frozen to a depth
of about one hundred feet, and in the warm- ;
est season it never thaws. I

THE LAW RELATING TO THE STATE
FLAG.
The flag of North Carolina shall consist
of a blue union, containing in the centre
thereof a white star with the letter "N" in
gilt on the left of the letter "C" in gilt on
the right of said star, the circle containing
the same to be one-third the width of said
union. The fly of the flag shall consist of
two equally proportioned bars, the upper bar
to be red, the lower bar to be white; the
length of the bars horizontally shall be equal
to the perpendicular length of the union,
and the total length of the flag shall be one-
third more than its width. Above the star
in the center of the union these shall be a
gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing
in black letters this inscription: "May 20th,
1775," and below the star there shall be a
similar scroll containing in black letters the
inscription "April 12th, 1776."
[May 20th is the date of the Mecklenburg
Declaration; April 12th is the date of the
Halifax Resolution.]

THE NORTH CAROLINA PATRIOTIC SO-
CIETY ORGANIZED TO DO A
NEEDED WORK.
Believing that the greatest human ex-
pression of loyalty is patriotism, and that
one of the most effective means of teaching
is by object lessons, and that North Caro-
lina possesses in her people and history
more patriotism than any other State in the
Union, it is these facts that have called into
being the North Carolina Patriotic Society<
The object of the society is to encourage
greater loyalty in the future, by aiding and
inspiring the coming generations to still
greater enthusiasm, love and loyalty, and
to emphasize the facts of the immortal past,
of their mother State.
The society publishes and manufactures
the State flag, from the largest bunting to
the smallest muslin, souvenir postal cards,
school tablets, society and school stationery,
albums with portraits and biographies of
patriotic North Carolinians, booklets, North
Carolina songs set to music, beautiful fans
with flag and the song of Carolina, sofa pil-
lows with beautiful border of the pine and
burr with State flag in the centre; lappel
buttons, pins, badges, flag painted on large
boards for framing, and from time to time
such other articles as the society may deem
fit. All executed in brilliant colors and
made in the highest style of the art.
There are many of our people who never
heard of the State flag, much loss having
seen it. The great facts of history must be
placed before the very eyes of our posterity.
The flag of our State should float from every
school house, every court-house, and should
be in every home. To this end the society
has been formed and propose to place these
articles in every home in North Carolina.
The society is maintained bv subscription.
Each subscriber who pays ten dollars will
get the value of his subscription in any one
or more articles, and become a member of
ine society. A catalogue giving a descrip-
tion and price of each article, which will be
supplied at manufacturers prices, with the
cost of managing expenses added. For fur-
ther information address:

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORIC FACTS.
The first efforts to colonize America were
maa^ by the English on the coast of North
Carolina, A. D., 1585.
On Roanoke Island, Currituck County, N.
C, Virginia Dare, the first white child of
America, was bom.
North Cstrolina was the first to make
armed resistance to British oppression —
The Battle of Alamance— May 16, 1771.
The first to declare for independence of
Great Britian at Charlotte — The Mecklen-
burg Declaration of May 20, 1775.
The first to instruct its delegation in the
Congress of April 12, 1776, to move for the
National Declaration of Independence of
July 4, 1776.
She furnished her full quota of men to
the Continental armies, ajid the defeat of
Comwallis, by her sons, at Kings' Mountain
in 1780, and the capture of part of his
army, together with the battle given him
at Guilford Court-House in 1781, contrib-
uted largely to his final surrender at York-
town.
North Carolina was the last of the South-
em States to secede from the Union; but
the first to lose his life in battle, for South-
em rights, was a North Carolinian, Henry
K. Wjratt, killed at Bethel, June 10, 1861.
She contributed more largely of commis-
sary stores and of men to the Confederate
cause than any other Southern State.
Her troops had a conspicuous part in all
the great battles of the Civil War, and
she lost more heavily in killed and wounded
than any other Southern State.
"First at Bethel, farthest to the front at
Gettysburg and CHiickamauga, and last at
Appomattox" is truly said of her.
Th« devotion of her men and their in-
trepid valour caused the immortal Lee te
say, "God bless North Carolina."
The last battle of this war was fought
on North Carolina soil at Bentonville, just
over the Wayne County line in the county
of Johnston, after the surrender at Ap-
pomattox.
At the call for troops in the Spanish-
American War North Carolina responded
nobly, and again the first to lose his life
in battle was one of her noble sons —
Worth Bagley.

EARLY CAROLINA HISTORY.
Lord Comwallis called the town of Char-
lotte* 'The Hornet's Nest of the Revolu-
tion."
North Carolinians distinguished them-
selves in the War of 1812, and also in the
War with Mexico.
Captain Johnson Blakely, of Wilmington,
N. C, commander of the U. S. Sloop of war
"Wasp," in two of the fiercest naval bat-
tles of 1812 destroyed the British Sloops
"Reindeer" and "Avon." President Roose-
velt declares that this war did not produce
an abler commander than Captain Blakely.
Captain Braxton Bragg, of Northampton
County, N. C, afterward famous in the
Civil War, won great honors at the battle
of Buena Vista, war with Mexico.
In the Civil War North Carolina furn-
ished one-fifth of all the men who served
in the Confederate army, and by the energy
and devotion of Grovemor Vance th«se sol-
dier* were better fed and better clothed
than any others in the service; and the
wcwrid has seen few parallels in the dash
and daring of these officers and men.
Tiie fortunes of war being lost to the
Co«f«deracv, North Carolina accepted t)ie
result, and there is in America today no
more loyal State in the Union. Words are
not needed to prove this. Her action in
the late Spanish-American War speaks
more forcibly than words. We love the
Confederate soldier, and as long as time
lasts his memory will be fondly cherished
by our people.
The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad and the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad were com-
pleted by the year 1840 and the latter, at
the' time of its completion, was the longest
road in the world. The N. C. R. R. was in-
corporated'in 1849. Its first president was
Jno. M. 'Mqrehead. Under his leadership
the' road was extended from Goldsboro to
Mor^ead City.
The Constitution of N. C. was adopted
in 1776. Its authors were Thomas Jones,
Thomas Burke and Richard Caswell.
Richard Caswell lived in Lenoir County
and his body lies buried there. He was our
first Governor after the Revolution. A
history of the life and services of this pa-
triot would fill a volume.
From 1776 to 1835 our Governors were
elected by the General Assembly. The con-
vention of 1835 amended the Constitution
80 that the election of Governor was trans-
ferred to the people.
Our Governors now are not eligible for
more than one term in succession.
Edward B. Dudley, of New Hanover, waa
the first Governor to be elected by the peo-
ple (1836). William Drummond, the first
Governor to be appointed by the Crown
(1663), and Josiah Martin, the last to be
appointed by the Crown (1771-75).

IS FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY?
What is the matter with Friday? Is it
really such an unlucky day after all?
According to tradition Friday is unlucky
because it was on that day that Christ
was crucified. Soames says "Adam and
Eve ate the forbidden fruit on a Friday
and died on a Friday." In nearly all the
countries of Europe Friday is regarded as
the. black sheep of the days of the week,
and it is so esteemed by Buddhists and
Brahmins. The old Romans called it ne-
fastus, from the utter overthrow of their
army at Gallia Narbonensis.
In England it was once the custom to
execute the sentence of death on condemned
criminals on Friday, which, therefore, has
been commonly known as "hangman's day."
There is an English proverb to the effect
that a Friday moon brings foul weather.
Most sailors refuse to go aboard a vessel
that is to start its voyage on a Friday.
On the other hand evidence is not want-
ing that Friday is one of the luckiest days
in the Aveek. Charles Dickens says that
nearly all the fortunate events in his life
occurred on this day. In Scotland Friday
is the favorite day for weddings.
Below is given a list of some important
events that have occurred on Friday:
Moscow was burned Friday.
Washington wa® bom Friday.
Shakespeare was born Friday.
America was discovered Friday.
Richmond was evacuated Friday.
The Bastile was destroyed Friday.
The Mayflower pilgrims were landed
Friday.
Queen Victoria was married Friday.
Iving Charles I. was beheaded Friday.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born Friday.
Julius Caesar was assassinated Friday.
The battle of Marengo was fought Fri-
day.
The battle of Waterloo was fought Fri-
day.
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought
Friday.
The battle of New Orleans was fought
Friday. /
The Declaration of Independence was
signed Friday.
GROWLS OF A DYSPEPTIC.
Some men talk too loud and all women
talk too much.
The woman who thinks only of her looks
always looks it.
One can uisually tell what a woman aims
at by what she misses.
Much that passes for love wouldn't stand
the test of curl papers.
Marriage is the only thing that will take
the conceit out of some men.
A weak woman can easily conquer a
strong man by catering to his vanity.
Civilization enables a woman to wear a
tailor-made gown and eat with a fork.
A woman is seldom satisfied when an old
dress is forced to do her a good turn.
Almost every woman likea to have a
friend whom she can snub occasionally.
A sensible girl draws the line at the
poetic youth who deals in unkissed kisses.
Love is responsible for two-thirds of the
happiness in the world — also for nine-
tenths of the misery.
There's nothing so meaningless as the
kiss one woman bestows upon another—
unless it is the expansive smile of a hotel
clerk.
When a man is in love he can't think of
anything else, but when a woman is in love
she always remembers to see that her hat
is on straight.
When a man fails in business his wife
tells the neighbors that he was ^oo honest
to succeed, but what she tells hina* in pri-
vate is another story.
Bad buy words— "Charge it to me."

WHAT CAUSES SNOW.
Snow is the condensed vapor of the air
frozen and precipitated to the earth. When
the air is nearly saturated with vapor, and
is acted on by a current of air below the
freezing point, some of the vapor is con-
densed and frozen into snow. The largest
flakes are formed when the air abounds
with vapor.
MYSTERY OF DEW EXPLAINED.
Dew is the moisture of the air condensed
by coming in contact with bodies colder
than itself. The dew does not "fall" from
the atmosphere or rise from the ground.
There is never dew on a dull, cloudy night
or on a windy night
It may be found on a grass plot and leave
a gravel walk dry because the grass is a
good radiator of heat and thus rapidly be-
comes cold, a vapor of warm air coming in
contact with the cold grass is instantly
chilled into dew; the gravel is a bad radia-
tor and parts with its heat very slowly
and therefore does not condense the warm
air. Dew never falls on the human body.
SMARTLETS.
The man who puts off generally gets put
off.
No man is so rich he can afford to lose
a friend.
Think straight and you cannot be crooked.
Only he who keeps his honor can never
be discrowned.
The most stones are thrown at the tree
with the ripest fruit.
The word "impossible" should not be in
any one's dictionary.
Every moment is the right moment for
the man who has pluck.
Any fish can swim down stream, but it
takes a live one to swim up.
A wise man doesn't wait for opportunity
to come along; he goes after it.
The best you have ever done is not good
enough to be your ideal for the future.
The accident of energy has made more
millionaires than the accident of birth.
The moment a man is satisfied with him-
self everybody els« is dissatisfied with him.
Be pleasant until 10 o'clock in the morn-
ing; the rest of the day will take care ©f
itself.

EXTREMES OF HEAT AND COLD.
The lowest temperature on record in the
United States is sixty-four degrees balow
zero, at Tobacco Garden, North Dakota.
Greely, the Arctic explorer, has probably
experienced a wider range of temperature
than any other living man. He recorded
sixty-six degrees below zero at Fort Congor,
in Lady Franklin Bay. On another occa-
sion, in the Maricopa Desert of Arizona,
his thermometer in the shade ran up to one
hundred and fourteen degrees above.
THE THEORY OF FORMATION OF HAIL.
Hail is a mystery. Nobody knows how it
is formed, though there are several theories.
A hailstone is made like an onion, of a
series of concentric coats. These coats of
ice are apparently put on in succession, by
repeated freezings, but in what manner is
unknown.
One notion suggested is that the frozen
rain-drop, which is the nucleus, is alter-
nately attracted and repelled between op-
posing storm clouds, of positive and nega-
tive electrification respectively, and that it
gradually increases in size as it is carried
to and fro, and continually takes on freez-
ing coats of moisture.
Another theory is that the particlea of
hail are carried in a sort of giant ^hirl,
first aloft and then downward, as portions
of cumulus clouds are sometimes seen to
move, and that they gather successive ooate
of moisture at the lower levels and convert
them into ice in the frigid strata of the
higher atmosphere.
THE FIERCEST WINDS ON RECORD.
The world's record for high winds is held
by Point Reyes, an important United States
storm signal station about thirty-five miles
north of San Francisco on the coast. On
May 18, 1902, the wind was rushing along
at the furious rate of 120 miles an hour
for several minutes. A fearful gale raged
for three days,' recording on the anemometer
4,701 miles in seventy- two consecutive
hours, or nearly one-fifth the distance roimd
the globe, in three days.

HOW STANDARD TIME CAME TO BE
ADOPTED.
Before the adoption of standard time
there were sometimes as many as five differ-
ent kinds of time in use in a single to^vn.
The railroads of the United States followed
fifty-three different standards, whereas now
they use five. The times were very much
cub of joint.
The need of an international standard
of time led to the so-called Prime Meridian
Conference, which was held at Washington
in 1882. This conference recommended that
the Greenwich civil time be used, and ac-
cordingly the United States and Canada se-
lected a number of standard meridians, dif-
fering in longitude from the longitude of
Greenwich by exact multiples of fifteen de-
grees. The "new standard time" was adopt-
ed by agreement of all the principal rail-
roads of the United States, and went into
effect on October 18, 1883.
The system divides the continent into five
longitudinal belts, and fixes a meridian of
time for each belt. These meridians are fif-
teen degrees of longitude, corresponding to
one hour of time apart.
Eastern Maine, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia use the sixtieth meridian; the
Canadas, New England, the Middle States,
Virginia, and the Carolinas use the seventy-
fifth meridian, which is that of Philadel-
phia; the States of the Mississippi Valley,
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and west-
ward, including parts of Texas, Kansas,
Nebraska, and Dakota, use the ninetieth
meridian time, which is that of New Or-
leans.
The territories to the western border of
Arizona and Montana go by the time of the
one hundred and fifth rneridian, which is
that of Denver; and the Pacific States em-
ploy the one hundreu and twentieth merid-
ian.
The time divisions are known as inter-
colonial time, eastern time, central time,
mountain time, and Pacific time. A trav-
eler passing from one time belt to another
will find his watch an hour too fast or too
slow, according to the direction in which he
is going.
All points in any time division using the
time of the meridian must set their time-
pieces faster or slower than the time indi-
cated by the sun, according as their posi-
tion is east or west of the line.

COOKING RECIPES.
Ham Toast. — ^Mix with one tablespoonful
of finely chopped or grated ham, the beaten-
up yolk of an egg, and a little cream and
pepper; heat over the fire and then spread
the mixture either on hot buttered toast
or on slices of bread fried quite crisp in
butter; serve very hot.
Liver — Venice Fashion. — Take a couple
of onions finely chopped and fry them in
oil and butter, with plenty of chopped
sweet herbs till quite done. Just before
serving throw into the same frying pan one
pound of liver coarsely chopped; fry all
together, as the liver does not require much
cooking.
Beef Stew. — Six pounds of the flank of
beef, cut in small pieces; boil in two quarts
of water until tender. Then put in a dozen
potatoes, a dozen onions and four turnips;
cover it so that the steam shall not escape,
pepper and salt to the taste.
Rice Cheese-Cakes. — ^A quarter of a pound
of butter and two oimces of ground rice,
boiled and beaten, mix well with sifted
sugar to suit the taste. When quite cool
add the rind and juice of a lemon and two
eggs, well beaten. This will keep a month
in a cool place.
Pickled Turnips. — ^Wash them clean be-
fore boiling, do not pare them. If the rind
is broken the juice escapes. When cooked
take off the outside, slice them like beets
and pour hot spioed vinegar over them.
They are to be eaten while newly cooked
and warm, and are as good as pickled beets.
English Muffins. — ^To one quart of milk
and water (lukewarm) and the whites of
three eggs, well beaten, two tablespoon-
fuls of brewer's yeast, no salt and as much
flour as will make it a very thin batter.
Let it lie before the fire an hour to rise.
If too thin add more flour. Make into
small cakes and bake on the griddle.
Scrambled Eggs. — Separate the yolks
and whites of three eggs (or more if for a
large family), beat the yolks lightly, then
add three large tablespoonful® of milk and
one-half a teaspoonful of salt, beat a little
more, melt half" a tablespoonful of butter
in a frying pan, pour in the yolks and
when they begin to thicken pour the whites
in without beating. Let them be until
they look like the white of a boiled egg,
then quickly mix them with the yolks with
a fork. Serve in a hot dish on buttered
toast.
To Fry Salt Pork.— Cut into very thin
slices, and freshen by letting them lie for
an hour or more in cold milk or water. Roll
in flour and fry until crisp. Dr^in from the
fat and place the slices where they will
keep warm. Pour off most of the fat from
the flying pan and stir in while hot a table-
spoonful of flour—a little more may be
added if the gravy be liked thick — and a
half pint of new milk. Season with pepper
and salt enough. Boil up and serve with
the crisped pork.
Minced Turkey.— Take the remains of
cold turkey and cut into very small pieces;
weight perhaps half a pound. Take kalf
the amount in cold potatoes and cut also
in pieces the same as the turkey. Put on
the fire in a saucepan with an ounce of
butter and one small spoonful of flour. Stir
with a wooden spoon until it bubbles, then
pour on one gill of boiling milk or cream,
then add the turkey and potatoes, a little
salt, pepper and nutmeg. Serve very hot
for breakfast.
Fried Oysters. — Dip them in beaten egg
and then in cracker or bread crumbs; fry
in equal parts of lard and butter until they
are brown.
Plain Muffins.— Half cup butter, half cup
sugar, two cups milk, three tablespoons
baking powder sifted thoroughly with a
scant quart of flour.
Southern Egg-bread.— Two cups Indian
meal, one cup cold rice, three eggs, one
tablespoon melted butter, two and a half
cups milk, on teaspoonful salt, a pinch of
soda; stir eggs into milk, then the other
ingredients, lastly rice; bake in ehalfew
pans.
Oysters— Fancy Roast.— Toast a fesw
slices of bread, and butter them, lay them
in a shallow dish, put on the liquor of the
oysters to heat, add salt and pepper, and
just before it boils add the oysters, let
them boil up once and pour over the bread.
Boiled Fowls. — Flour a white cloth and
put the fowls in cold water; let them sim-
mer three-quarters of an hour, serve with
parsley and butter, or oyster or celery
sauce. The fowls may be covered with »
white sauce if sent to the table cold, garn-
ished with colored calf's foot jelly of the
hue of beet root.
Oyster Fritters. — ^Drain off liquor, boil,
skim and to a cupful add a cup of milk,
two or three eggs, salt and pepper and
flour enough to make a rather thick batter.
Have hot lard or beef drippings ready in a
kettle, drop the batter in it with a large
spoon, taking up one oyster for each spoon-
ful. The oysters must be large and plump.
Clam Fritters. — Twenty-five clams,
chopped fine, add to these a batter made
Avith a half -pint of the clam liquor, a heap-
ing pint of 'flour and two egga well beaten,
soda, about the size of a pea, dissolved in
water; fry in hot lard.

HISTORY OF THE TURNER-ENNISS
N. C. ALMANAC.
Away back during the thirties uiiere was
a little book store in Raleigh on the comer
northeast opposite Capitol Square, the site
now occupied by Christ church. It was a
smiall frame building, and was probably the
only store of this kind in the whole State.
Some time later on, during the thirties, an
emigrant landed in Raleigh from New Eng-
land, by the name of Henry D. Turner. He
was comparatively a young man, seeking a
place for investanent and business. He
purchased the little business! then being
carried on in the little wooden structure
on the comer of Wilmington and Edenton
streets, and moved to more spacious quar-
ters at No. 1 Fayetteville street, next to
Capitol Square, on the east side of the
street. ]VQ'. Turner was at the time a
partner in a large book and publishing
house in the city of New York.
This was before the days of railroads,
and while Mr. Turner may not have been
the pioneer book seller in North Carolina,
he certainly was the pioneer of establish-
ing in Raleigh the first business that could
properly be called a book and publishing
house. He inaugurated a system of convey-
ing books over the State by means of
wagons, especially adapted to the purpose.
These wagons made regular visits to the
University at Chapel Hill and oiher schools
of the State. He not only sold large quan-
tities of books, but established a printing
and binding department, which was the
first of any dimensions in the State. His
business grew and his efforts were largely
instrumental in developing the educational
interest of the country. While thus en-
gaged in business Mr. Turner began the
publication of an almanac under his own
name in 1838. This publication was suc-
cessively issued up to the time of his death,
which occurred in 1866. After his business
had undergone some changes while in the
hands of his administrator, it finally passed
into the' hands of Mr. James H. Enniss in
1869. The business was continued for some
years by the iitew purchaser, at the same
time the Almanac which had been founded
by Mr. Turner was greatly enlarged and
improved, until Mr. Enniss finally gave up
bookselling and confined his efforts alto-
gether to the publication of Turner's N. C.
AlmanafC. Mr. Enniss died in May, 1900.
After the death of Mr. J. H. Enniss, the
publication of the Almanac was continued
under the name of The Enniss Publishing
Co. with Pinek. C. Enniss as Business Man-
a,ger, who changed the name from "Tur-
ner's" to "Turaer-Enniss" N. C. Almanac,
which it now bears.
It is seventy years since Turaer-Emaiss's
N. C. Almanac was established, having been
devoted all these years to the infusion of
useful information, and is now the recog-
nized State standard Almanac, and its relia-
bility has eamed for it the title of "The
Old Reliable."
Turner-Ehniss N. C. Almanac is not oaly
a household word in North Carolina, but
by the great value of the publication have
contributed largely to the dissemination of
much that has helped the State in the way
of reliable information.
Some imagine that an almanac is a sort
of astrological production, whose specialty
consists in the mysteres of the art of divin-
ation, strange revelations of clairvoyants,
and superstitions regarding the study of
the stars, while necromancers are held in
grateful remembrance by almanac makers.
This is not true. There are no mysteries
or profound secrets in zodiacal signs, as-
tronomical calculations and the thousand
and one things to be found in Tumer-Enniss
N. C. Almanac.
It furnishes trustworthy information
about times and seasons, the tides, the ris-
ing and setting of the sun and moon,
eclipses, ecclesiastical feasts, reliable State
chronology, perfectly reliable court calen-
dars, postage rates, government of North
Carolina, together with all State ofiicers and
their salaries. State institutions, including
educational, charitable and penal, conjec-
tures of the weather, important farm and
garden calendars for every month in the
year, valuable medical and household re-
ceipts, anecdotes, statistics, and much other
information useful to everyone. To-day it
is the best known publication in North
Carolina and exceeds in circulation more
than any publication in the South.
The Almanac is sold outright to" Mer-
chants, Peddlers and Postmasters in every
coTinty in North Carolina. It is never placed
on sale with commissions, or unsold copies
taken back. Only one person is allowed t«
handle it in a place. A profit of one hun-
dred per cent is mads by the dealers. S^nd

EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY.
If you slide down the slippery plane of
indiscretion you will find it still more slip-
pery when you attempt to climb out again.
All religions have been tried and found
satisfactory to the devotees.
Rest assured if you do not love the peo-
ple of your community they cannot love
you. People do not plant flowers in a bed
of ice.
The mouse finds but little love outside
of its own circle of friends. Neither does
the cat, neither does man. Universal love
is a pipe dream. Nature is no more than
a million elements struggling in the death
grip of evolution.
The better you are fitted to do one thing
in a remarkable manner, the less you are
fitted to do everything in the average way.
A genius i& like a parlor organ with only
.^iHe reed and no stops.
If the rich man gets more than he cre-
ates, don't you suppose the God of Justice
is holding some sort of a balance in favor
of those men who do not get all they
create ?
Human life is a vegetable, growing from
a seed to maturity, it fades and dies and
decays back to plant food again.
If prayer has no influence over the infi-
nite forces, it does have a soothing effect
on the minds of those who faithfully be-
lieve in its efficacy. Its hypnotic influence
has had a great deal to do with the mental
state of civilization.
Let us build better homes for the poor
and less expensive churches for the wealthy.
Purify the environment of the slums, in-
stead of polishing the gilt rails of the
gaudy altar.
Man is healthy when he is putting forth
the best of his mental and physical powers.
Those who earn a living working half time
are never satisfied, and those who live with-
out working at anything are the most mis-
erable of all.
Some of those good people who believe in
their supernatural power to overcome sin
had better work that power just a little
bit to overcome greed and narrowness of
, mind.
Some married men attend the theatres
and circuses because they have no longer
any show at home.
Man is in the midst of a great universal
mystery. His knowledge is but a lighted
tallow dip in an eternity of speculation.
I enjoy three phases of life: A few
congenial companions after hard work,
agreeable hard work after the companion-
ship- of congenial companions and a sum-
mer day trip through a prosperous country.

The religion of a book never changes,
but the religion of the rocks and sands,
mountains and seas is changing the minds
of men every year.
Some good men must remain outside the
churches and outside the circle that rules
the world, or liberty and freedom of speech
is doomed to die of too much zeal.
A pessimist runs from shadows, an op-
timist tries to gather up sunbeams for
light and happiness, and declares there are
no shadows beyond the light.
Wooden things made sacred are idols,
whether you worship them or not.
A world of pestilence, disease and death,
is a cross instead of a blessing.
Habits tempt us, and not some imaginary
devil. Conquer appetite and you have ban*
ished the ignorant man'a satan.
When you start out to study mystery,
begin with yourself. You mil find your
body a reservoir of mystery, and your mind
a jumble of intangible dreams.
There is a melodious melancholy in music
that masters my mind, but the melancholy
of the woods bowis' down my soul.
Even with my failing eyesight it is no
trouble for me to see through the political
arguments of those political prostitutes —
the trust-owned papers.
It is lucky that we don't care to stay in
a world where we have got to die. We
can only reconcile ourselves to death
through the act of dying.
Philoisophers and the clergy have been
husking out theories concerning the future
for thousands of years. We have the husks
as evidence.
Extremely bad men have their admirers
just the same as good men have. Some
statesmen are known exclusively through
their rottenness.
This world could be wooded with a single
acorn, but it would take almost as long to
do so as it does for one of the old political
parties to redeem a reform promise.
Your character throws off involuntary
influence, your reputation drawsi back
either smiles or curses from the people.
Commercial and industrial plunder is far
more respectable than the loot of the old-
time highwayman, but hardly as O'penly
and honestly obtained.

than ten lines of obituary poetry.

SUGGESTIONS TO FAEMEES.
Fattening Season. — ^Now is the fattening
season for all stock, and the farmer saves
by putting his stock in good condition be-
fore winter. It saves feed, they wUl be
more able to stand the cold and will be
in far better condition in the spring.
Making Manure. — The best time to make
manure is during the leisure days of fall
and winter. Gather the leaves and muck,
and sod, and compost them, and then put
them where they will do the most good,
and you will find that your crops will grow
to much larger proportions. Both save and
make manure.
Sucessful Fanning. — Every farmer ought
to aim to make farming profitable, and it
can be done by intelligent industry. But
to make farming successful the land must
be made rich and no more surface culti-
vated than can be made productive. Among
the greatest of earth's blessings is "A little
farm well tilled." Therefore enrich your
land and deepen culture and lessen the area
of cultivation unless you can make it rich.
Clean Up. — Clean up the stable and bam
yard, bum all rubbish. Paint plows and
polish the shaves and mould boards. Shar-
pen the teeth of the harrow. In fact, every-
thing that can be done now in the way of
cleaning up should be attended to if pos-
sible. Much can be done during rainy days
when outdoor work cannot be done and
which will help during the busy days of
spring work when such work cannot be at-
tended to without great inconvenience and
loss.
Keep a Slate. — We would suggest to all
farmers to keep a slate or book to note
down work to be done during the day, week
or month, as the case may be, tnroughout
the year. The slate or book should have
upon it something like the following: Shell
corn, mend harness, grease wagons, grind
tools, repair fences, clean out stables, and
many other items which could be suggested.
As these jobs are finished, rub out or mark
off and commence some other. Have it un-
derstood that in your absence Irom home
this memoranda is to be referred to and the
work done as there suggested. Such a plan,
faithfully carried out, cannot fail of accom-
plishing more work during the year than no
memoranda at all.
—Mothers who have any regard for their
daughters will enforce the "you knit" mle.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
If you buy carpets for durability, choose
anall figures.
Moth patches can be removed by washing
daily with a mixture composed of a cup
of water and a teaspoonful of flour of sul-
phur.
Woolen hose should be soaked all night
and washed in hot suds with beef gall,
a tablespoonful to half pail of water. Iron
on the wrong side.
To prevent the smoking of a lamp soak
the wick in strong vinegar and dry it well
before you use it; it will then bum both
sweet and pleasant.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly, put
in a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs
the quicker they will froth. Salt cools and
also freshens them.
For cleaning black cashmeres, wash in hot
suds with a little borax in the water; rinse
in blueing water — very blue, and iron on
the wrong side while damp.
To prevent prints from fading make a
solution of soap, put in the articlee and
wash them in the usual way. Add lemon
juice or vinegar to the rinsing water.
Sprinkle ashes slightly before taking
them from the hearth, which prevents from
rising and covering the furniture, and
serves to extinguish any coals that may
be taken up with them.
No water that haiS stood in open vessels
during the night should be used for drink-
ing or cooking. By exposure to the air
it has lost its "aeration," and has absorbed
many of the dust-germs floating in the
air.
A great many ladies who save everything
else waste their rose leaves. Dried ' they
make the most delightful filling for sofa
pillows, pin cushions, etc., retaining their
fragrance a great length of time.
. Washing soda softens the water, and also
possesses great power for cleaning it, as it
removes stains and dissolves dirt and
grease, rendering less rubbing necessary.
Don't use it with colored clothesi; it may
change the color.
To remove the iron taste from new ket-
tles, boil a handful of hay in them, and re-
peat the process if necessary. Hay water
is a great sweetener of tin, wooden and
ironware. In Irish dairies everything used
for milk is scalded with hay-water.

Offers greater opportunities to the homeseeker to-day than ^
any other part of the South. Along the lines of the Atlantic
and North Carolina, the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound and the
. Norfolk and Southern Railroads, vast tracts of magnificent
land, hitherto heavily timbered, are now being opened up
for ciiltivation.
No other section of equal acreage in this country yields
or is capable of yielding the quantity, quality and variety of
corn products that this section does. It grows a large per
cent of the early vegetable supply of the country, and for
general farming is unsurpassed. The soil is of great depth
and fertility, and its productive capacity is practically un-
limited. The climate is healthful, and droughts, floods and
severe storms are unknown. So equable is the temperature
that snow seldom falls. There are no killing frosts for seven
months and out door work can be done all the year round.
Three and four crops a season can be grown successfully, and
it frequently happens that a farm is made to pay for itself
the first year. And yet these lands can just now be bought

2 TURKEE-EISTNISS NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.
Entered acooraiug to act of Congress, in the year 1907 for the year 1908, by The Enniss Publishing
Company, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
4»~N0TE.~This Almanac bears the name of TURNER-ENNISS N. C. ALM.'kNAC. in honor of the
late dENKY D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published
it ^j the year 1838, and M . Jas. H. Eaniss. who succee-ed Mr. Turner ia 1867, lu the publication of the
Aloaanac, and under his administration was issued reguiariy until nis death In May, 1900. Since that
lime the -ilmanac h is Geen issued under the name of the Enniss Pablishing Co., by Pinck. C. Enniss.
EXPLANATIONS AND REMARKS.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solai
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
the sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1,. and December 24. On all other
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this differ
ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " sun fast " or " sun slow.'
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W."), which is the
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes 32.4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes
All calculations involving latitude and longi^tude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being
ia latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."i ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States. '
RISING AND SETTING OF THE SUN.
T'ha Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is
ip correct. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De^
c 'filiation, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here givei>
hiive been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest
whole minute.

n any man ever had cause to say that life is a
tCigedy, that man was Jesus Christ. With no place
to lay His head, despised and rejected of men, He
trod the winepress of sorrow. He knew what it is to
toil unrewarded; He knew what it is to struggle in
tfce arena of temptation. — Selected.
Only One Wife.
"Father, did you ever have another wife
besides mother?" "No, my boy, what pos-
sessed you to ask such a question?" "Be-
cause I saw in the old family Bible that you
married Anno Domini, 1836; and that isn't
mother, for her name is Sallie Smith."
Historical.
Teacher — "Johnny, who was Joan of
Arc?"
Johnny — "The wife of Noah, who built
it."
The Irishman and the Priest.
An Irishman, who had been sick a long
time, was one day met by the parish priest,
when the following conversation took place:
"Well, Patrick, I am glad you have recov-
ered; were you not afraid to meet your
God?" "Oh, no, yer Eiverance, it was
meetin' the other chap that I was afeard
uv!" replied Pat.
An Annoying Sense of Humor.
The Merchant (to applicant) — "Where did
-"In a Life Insurance CJom-
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy dress-
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shallots.
Lettuce plants from fall sowing transplant. Spinach
may be sown for early spring use. Onions hoe and
all other hardy crops planted in autumn. Peas sow
at intervals; some may be frosted, but try again.
Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may
be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cab-
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
Manuring Hotbeds. — ^When using manure
for hotbeds discard all litter. Fresh horse
manure is best and it should be well
tramped down in the bed. To hasten the
heat, moisten the manure with lime water.
Rusty Implements. — If the implements
are rusty the first thing to do is to apply
kerosene liberally to every part, allow it to
stand over night and then get to work with
sandpaper and rags. If an implement is
not in complete working order there will be
greater draught on the horses.
Sowing Seed. — As a rule people do not
sow enough seed. Plants seem to like kin-
dred companionship, and to pine away when
their ranks are thin. Peas especially re-
quire heavy seeding. This fact ought to be
borne in mind by farmers, for its applica-
tion would result iiv doubling their crops.
And that would pay them.

Proud men never have friends, neither in

in adversity because nobody knows them.
Whoever is honest, generous, courteous
and candid, is a gentleman, whether he be
learned or unlearned, rich or poor.
Providence never hides a smiling counte-
nance from those who manure highly, cul-
tivate often and seed liberally.

WEATHER FORECASTS FOR FEBRUARY.— 1st to
3d, showery; 4th to 5th, changeable; 6th to 7th, de-
cided fall in temperature; 8th to 12th, general
^Farmth; 13th to ll5th, cold and blustery; 17th to 18th,

The time is coming, either in this world or the
next, when the cloud will be swept away, and the
fulness of God's light and wisdom poured around
you. If your life is dark, then walk by faith; and
God is pledged to keep you as safe as if you could
understand everything.— Horace Bushnell (Selected).
Medicine Not Good.
''My dear doctor," said an Irishman, "it's
no use your giving me an emetic. I tried
it twice in Dublin, and it would not stay
on my stomach five minutes."
Would Do What You Would Do.
"Dear me," said a lady, "I have such a
cold. What do you do. Doctor, when you
have a cold?' 'What do I do?" said the
Doctor; "whj^. Madam, I cough and some-
times I sneeze."
Jaws vs. Whiskers.
"Papa," said a little Western boy, "why
dop't women have whiskers?" "Because,
my boy," was the reply, "their jaws are
never still long enough for them to grow."
Stone Anyway.
A quarrelsome couple were discussing the
-ubject of epitaphs and tombstones, and
the husband said, "My dear, what kind of
a stone do you suppose they will give me
when I die?" "Brimstone, my love," was
the affectionate reply.
Eye and Buy,
"Before Me were married," said he to a
triend, "she used to say 'bye-bye' so sweetly
\s hen T went down the steps."
'"And now what does she say?"' asked the
friend. "Oh, just the same,' exclaimed the
man — "buy, buy."
"Ah, I see," said the oth«r, "she only ex-
ercises a little different 'spell' over you."

FARM NOTES.
Least Expense. — The good farmer is he
who produces most from each acre and at
least expense. Let every one who owns or
cultivates a farm bend all his powers to
the attainment of that end.
Use Oil. — Any dairyman troubled with
cows having sore teats should use plenty
of linseed oil before and after milking. He
will find but*little if any sores or cracks
around the cow's teats if this is done.
Bones for Fruit Trees and Grapes.— If
bones are pounded into small pieces., de-
posited around the trees and grape vines,
and chopped in with a hoe, they will show
good results for years, as they slowly give
up their particles. Save and utilize i>ll the
dried bones.
Smut in Wheat and Oats. — Smut in
wheat and oats may be prevented by what
is known as the Jensen hot-water treat-
ment. Put the seed-wheat or oats in a
gunny bag, or wire- screen basket, and dip
the basket in water at a temperature of 134
degrees. Use a thermometer and have the
fjrejiarations made before beginning. Keep
the so(xl in the water for five minute*, and
maintain the heat to the required tempera-
ture by the use of boiling water, which may
bo added as required. Spread the seed on a
dry location, to became dry. The hot water
destroys the smut in the seed.
Never Waits. — The intelligent farmer
never waits for something to turn up. He
takes a plough to the ground, and turns it
up,

T« be a gentleman does not mean to be a dude.

An excellent old deacon, who having won
A fine turkey at a charitable grab-bag raffle,
didn't like to tell his severely orthodox wife
how he came by it, quietly remarked, as he
handed her the fowl, that the Shakers gave
it to him.
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especialiy the large York. Fresh beds
of Asparagus. Artichokes, Sea Kale and Rhubarb, and
Strawberry set out, plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Corn; sow Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Cu-

Telephone Mixup Caused Him to Discon-
tinue the Doctor's Services.
A subscriber to the telephone exchange
afiked to be placed in communication with
his doctor. Then the following conversation
occurred :
Subscriber — Doctor, my wife complains
of a very severe pain at the back of her
neck and occasional nausea.
Doctor — She must have malaria.
Subscriber — What's best to be done?
At this moment the clerk at the central
station altered the switch by mistake to a
piechanical engineer, who was answering in-
quiries of a mill owner, and this is what the
husband heard:
"I believe the inside is lined with ex-
coriations to a considerable thickness. Let
her cool during the night, and in the morn-
ing before firing up take a hammer and
pound her vigorously. Then get a garden
hose with strong pressure from the main
And let it play freely on the parts affected."
Strange to say, the doctor never saw his
patient again.

FARM NOTES.
Cure for Sting. — If you are stung by a
bee or wasp, wet some cut tobacco and lay
it on the sting. In five minutes it is cured.
Consumption of Hay. — ^The hay consumed
by different animals does not vary greatly
from three pounds daily for each hundred
pounds of the animal.
Remedy for Borers. — A correspondent says
1 that he prevents borers by bottling one
j gallon of soap and adding to it one teacup-
I full of turpentine. This is mixed with
i water until thin. He then takes a brush
I and paints the body of the tree with the
I solution about March, before the foliage be-
< gins to start.
I Cost of Milk.— At the New Hampshire Ex-
j periment Station they found that from their
I best cow it costs about one and one-half
I cents a quart, and from their poorest cow
I more than four and one-half cents to pro-
I duce a quart of milk. One good cow, there-
1 fore, is equal to three poor ones, and takes
j up no more room than a poor cow, and re-
• quires no greater care.
I Yield of Milk.— The range of yield per
pound of milk is very wide, it taking from
8 to 10 pounds of the richest milk, up to 30
' and over of the poorest, to make a pound of
butter. The average of common stock in
this country is about 25 pounds. Anywhere
between that and 20 pounds of milk for a
pound of butter is good. Below this is
very good and extra, down to 8 and 10
pounds, which is extraordinary.
A farmer ought not to be ashamed of his
occupation.
Don't plant a mortgage on your farm, it
never yields a profitable harvest.

co«l and backward; 3d to 4th, cool; 5th to 6th,
threatening; 7th to 8th, generally cloudy; 9th to 10th,
unsettled, variable; 11th to 13th, damp, misty; 14th

Wherever a country presents the opportunities for
diversified farming in the business of agriculture, and
the people take advantage of the resources by which
they are surrounded, we invariably find a happy, con-
tented class. It is not only true of to-day, but ap-
plies with equal force to all time in the past.— Se-
lected.
He Knew.
" 'And his last end is worse than his
first,' " quoted the Sunday school teacher.
"What does this refer to, children?"
"A hornet," promptly answered the
freckled boy who had just joined the class.
Not in His Line.
Johnny (who has struck a snag in his
mathematics) — "Pa, what is the differential
calculus ?"
Mr. Wipedunks — "Oh, try it on somebody
else. I've told you a thousand times,
Johnny, that I'm no good on conundrums."
Belt or Ann.
"Jessie, what was Joe's arm doing round
your waist when you were at the front gate
last night?" asked a precious boy of his
sister. "His arm wasn't round my waist!
I won a belt from him and he was taking
iny measure!" replied the indignant young
lady.
Kissed Her Cheek.
Frankie (aged four) — "Mamma, n lady ar
school kissed me to-day." "Did she, dear;
I hope you kissed her back." Frank (in-
dignantly). "Kissed her back! No, I didn't;
I kissed her cheek."
The sun which ripens the corn and fills
the succulent herb with nourishment also
pencils with beauty the violet and the rose.
It was a young housekeeper who set the
cake she had baked for a party out of doors
one fold night to be frosted.
City cousins do not finish their education
until they come to the country and find
out which end a wasp uses to introduce him-
self.
The finest and noblest ground on which
people can live is the truth.
The soul is not poisoned by mere errors
of the head, but by evils of the heart.
Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas, Pota-
toes, Beets, Corn, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Cu-
cumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okra,
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper, Lettuce,
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and March
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter use.
Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savoy
Cabbage for plants to be set out in June. Beans may
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head;
draw up earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed last
month should be hoed and thinned. TranspJant
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect
fine heads. Citron and Watermelon plant. Small
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminate
weeds. Additional root crop may now be sown.
Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs. Remember
to keep down the weeds.
FARM NOTES.
To Destroy Cucumber and Squash Bug. —
A tablespoonful of saltpeter dissolved in a
pail of ^vater, and a pint of water applied
to each hill of cucumbers or squashes will
destroy the bugs.
Pip in Chickens. — Pip is the name of a
disease indicated by a dry, horny substance
or scale at the end of the tojigue. It is
caused by some affection of the air passages,
the chicken breathing through the mouth,
making a w^heezing noise and occasioning a
dryness in the throat and tongue. It may
also be caused by indigestion. One author-
ity says a little cayenne or black pepper
mixed with meal and administered three
times a day will generally effect a cure.
Turpentine for Roup. — Spirits of turpen-
tine has been used as a remedy for roup
with excellent results. It is given in half
teaspoonful doses, once a day, mixed with
sweet oil or cotton- seed oil in the propor-
tion of one part turpentine to two of the
latter. It is also excellent when used as
an ointment for swelled heads or eyes, and
is one of the best remedies for gapes, a
few drops only beiujg necessar^^ for chicks.
It will also prevent lice if freely used on the
roosts and over the floor and walls of the
poultry-house.
For ever;f thing you buy or sell, lend or
hire, make an exact contract at first: do
not be put off by the popular mistaken idea
that "we shall not disagree about trifles."

damp and misty; 3d to 4th, seasonable showers; 5th
to 7th. variable; 8th to 9th, changeable; 10th to 12tb,
wet conditions; .13th to 14th, local storms; 15th to

The South will never truly prosper while she ships
out raw material and ships in finished products —
sells cotton by the bale and buys it by the yard, with
two freights added. Factory furnaces must furnish
the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night to
lead her people through the wilderness of commercial
subjection to the promised land of industrial inde-
pendence.— Selected.
Incompetence.
'"Do you know anything about flirting?"
"Well, I thought I did when I tried it,
but .she insisted on marrying me."
Perfectly Natural.
■'Did Perkins die a natural death?"
"Oh, yes. But I can't remember now
whether he was murdered, killed in a rail-
road accident, or hit by an automobile."
Golden Moments.
"Have you a few moments to spare?"
"Young man," said the capitalist, severe-
ly, "my time is w^orth one hundred dollars
an hour, but I'll give you ten minutes."
"If "it's all the same to you," thought-
fully replied the visitor, "I believe I would
rather take it in cash."
Information Wanted.
M. Z. (at the police station) — Can I see
the man you arrested at my house last
night?
Chief Constable — What do you want to
•ee him for?
M. Z. — I want to ask him how he managed
to get into the house and go upstairs with-
out waking my wife.
Had Read Newspapers.
Islinister (sternly) — Do you know what
becon^es of boys who tell lies and steal?
The Urchin — Yep; when they gets to be
meiTthey become politicians.
One way to find work is to go to work
and look for it.
Only the survivors believe in the fur-
vival of tho fittest.
It isn't difficult to forgive those who
wrong our neighbors.
Enthusiasm sets the pace, but common
sense wins in a walk.

Garden Calendar for May.
Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc.,
hoe them frequently and draw earth to the stems;
thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots, Parsnips,
and Salsify, and sow all kinds omitted last month.
Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce, Tomato, Egg
Plant from hotbeds to warm borders. Plant Beans,
bush or bunch, for a succession; Lima, Carolina and
other pole Beans, Cabbage plants, sow seed if not
done last month, also. Carrot, Cauliflower, Cucum-
ber, Indian Corn crops which have failed first sowing.
Repeat Melons, Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes
Pumpkin and Squash. Sow Cabbage for winter.
Corn plant for succession. Finish sowing all kinde
of Aromatic, Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.
FARM NOTES.
To Sow Peas. — To sow peas make a fun-
nel by folding stiff paper or a piece of pasta-
board, having an opening of half an inch at
the small end. The flow of seed may b«
regulated with the thumb.
Push the Pigs. — ^The summer is the time
to push the pigs. They should be kept i»
growth, so as to make a large frame upoa
which to put the fat late in the fall. A
clover patch, with skimmed milk and bran at
night will be much better for them than to
allow them corn.
Remedy for Chicken Lice. — To rid chicks
of lice, catch them at night and grease their
heads with lard. Some mix coal oil with
the lard, but the lard by itself will do and
the chick's eyes are in no danger. The lice
go to the chicks' heads when night comes.
This will only have to be done once when
the chicks are three or four days old.
Scratches in Horses. — Years ago I had a
horse affected by scratches. I tried many
recommended remedies without success.
Knowing from experience that pine tar
would cure chapped hands, I applied it to
the cfacked and sore parts, and only three
applications were necessary to effect a com-
plete cure. Since then I have several times
applied it with equally good results. It
softens the diseased parts and keeps out
moisture and dirt. I do not want a better
remedy, and were I to add anything to it,
in obstinate cases, it would be a very little
pulverized blue vitriol.

acre? That's what Home's Best made last year. It's fine for Tobacco,
too.

To forsake God and break His law will be the ruin
of any community, city or nation. The nations
which honor God and keep His law are those which
have life, unity and organized power. To neglect
God and His law w^ll bring any nation or commun-
ity to servitude, debasement and hopelessness. —
Selected.
Long Enough,
"How do you like me now?*' asked a
belle of her spouse, as she sailed into the
room with her long train sweeping behind {
her. "Well," said he, "to tell the truth, it j
is impossible for me to like you any longer." '
Ancient, but it Goes.
Feebles (about to be operated upon for
appendicitis) — Doctor, before you begin I
wish you would send and have our pastor,
the Rev. Mr. Blank, come over.
Dr. Sawem — Certainly, if you wish it, but
— ah—
Feebles — I'd like to be opened with
prayer.
« A Good Forgetter.
"Johnny," asked the teacher, "how much
is seven times nine?"
"I don't remember."
"Who discovered America?"
"I did know, but I forget."
"What's an isthmus?"
"I don't remember."
"You don't remember! Take your seat,
sir. You'll never amount to anything in
this world!"
But he did. He is now drawing $75,000
per year as the chief forgetter for a large
corporation.
Tail Necessary.
An old farmer, on being asked why a
peacock that was strutting through the
yard was like a figure 9, couldn't see the
resemblance; but light broke in on him
when he was told that it was nothing with-
out its tail.
Draws a Fool.
Two young men were passing a farm-
house where a farmer was trying to harness
a mule. "Won't he draw?" said one of the
) ^rsemen. "Of course he will," said the
rmer. "He draws the attention of every
iv^ol that passes.
Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed, Summer
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots;
transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons
and Squashes may be planted for a succession, alee
Corn. As herbs come into flo\\^er they should be cut
and put into a shady place to dry. The chief labor
of the garden had better be directed to what is al-
read}' in growth.
FARM NOTES.
Keep Down the Grass. — This is one of the
most busy and important months of the
year to the farmer. Upon the labors of this
month, if faithfully and skilfully performed,
with good seasons, he may look forward to
successful crops. But woe betide him if he
is a laggard now. Cultivate carefully and
keep down the grass.
Corn Planting. — It is not too late yet to
plant early varieties of corn, and we ad-
vise the planting of every available acre
that can be successfully cultivated, as the
price of this staple is likely to rule high.
Corn Cultivation. — If the land has been
thoroughly prepared before planting, shal-
low cultivation is best for the growing crop,
and we earnestly advise against plowing
close to the rootlets and breaking them
asunder, as it will seriously affect the
crop.
Peas. — Plant peas between the hills of
corn throughout the entire crop. Drop not
less than six peas in a hill and in such a
manner as not to interfere with the next
plowing. If you should fail to gather the
whole crop, turn the hogs in upon them and
they will materially aid in their fattening.
Harvesting Grain. — Grain cut in the field
should be put up in small shocks and in
four days of good weather may be housed
or stacked. It is bad policy to have cut
ffrain lonsr in the field.
Never judge a painting by the size of
the artist's signature.

I and more true charity.

10th to 12th, hot wave; 13th to 14th, absence of rain

Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the
power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward
to you will be the spirit of giving more; a blessed
spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, vmose life
is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay
you with the capacity of more love; for love is
Heaven — love is God within you. — Selected.
Couldn't be in Two Places.
"Pa," said little Tommy, "my Sunday
achool teacher says if I am good I'll go to
heaven."
"Well?" asked his pa.
"Well, you said if I was good I'd go to
the circus. Now, I want to know who's
lyin', you or her?"
Two of a Kind.
An old farmer went to a cattle show to
exhibit a favorite cow, for which he had
high hopes of winning first prize. On learn-
ing the result and that his cow had been
placed fifth his anger knew no bounds, and,,
rushing into the ring, he attacked the
Judges.
"Why is my cow not first? What are
her faults, I'd like to know?"
At this point one of the judges ap-
proached him and answered:
"Her faults, my good man, are some-
what akin to your own — she lacks good
breeding."
Manners.
The little girl had been assiduously in-
structed in the arts and graces of courtesy,
and when she told her mamma how the
strange boy at the party had kissed her
she did it with a demure, reserved air that
would have delighted her mamma under
other circumstances. "And he kissed me,"
she said.
"Kissed you!" the mamma exclaimed.
"And you, Gladys^— 'what did you do?"
"!Mamma, I didn't forget my politeness. I
said 'Thank you.'"
The more a man talks the less time he
has for achieving success.
Too mf^v.y men v bo nm into debt d^'t
even attempt to 'tp-^I out.
A large heart covers a, niullitude of mis-
takes due to a smn]] bin in.
Garden Calendar for July.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper Plants.
Cauliflower and Brocoli. Sow Carrots and Parsnips il
needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Turnips
may be sown; transplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinack
may be sown toward the last of the month. Iririi
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant Beans;
sow Cabbage seed for Collards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; sow Turnip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for winter use as they come ist*
flower.
FARM NOTES.
Pig Pen. — A pound of copperas, costing
three cents, in a bucket of water, sprinkled
from a watering pot in the pig pen will pro-
vide a cheap and excellent disinfectant, and
will also largely assist in preventing disease.
Bagging Grapes. — ^Bagging grapes well re-
pays the time it takes, saving the crop
from ruin by fungous or other diseases, and
the injury by bees. The work should be
performed as soon as the fruit is set, where
rot is feared.
Color in Hoiises. — ^As regards colors, gray
hors^es live longest, roan horses nearly a»
long. Cream-colored horses are deficient of
staying power, especially in summer weath-
er. Bays, on an average, are the best>
Horses with black hoofs are stronger and
j tougher than others.
Seed for Sowing. — If our farmers would
pay more attention to the seed they sow,
they would make far better crops. Take
our advice for once and get the best variety
of wheat, oats, rye, or whatever you in-
tend for a crop, and select the largest, heav-
iest and clearest grains by sifting them
out. SoAV these and mark the improvement
in your crop, if all other things are equal
We make another suggestion. It would
be a good plan for some one of the best
farmers in every locality to make a special
business of raising seed wheat, or seed oats«
Such seed would readily sell for double the
price in the market, and be worth the
monev.

Prayer is the noblest and most subUme act in
which man can be engaged, because it exercises the
highest faculties of the soul, the intellect and the
will; it brings us in communication with the greatest
of beings, God Himself. It is the channel of heaven's
choicest blessings. — Selected.
What They Did.
"Who were the Pilgrim Fathers, Willie?"
"First settlers and prominent citizens of
this country."
"Right! What did they do?"
"Laid broad the foundations for universal
freedom, religious liberty and the Standard
Oil Company."
His Conclusions.
"I'm afraid, Johnny," said the Sunday
school tea<3her, rather sadly, "that I shall
never meet you in the better land."
"Why ? What have you been doin' now ?"
Didn't Attend to Business.
A doctor went out for a day's hunting
and on coming home complained that he
hadn't killed anything. — ^'That's because
you didn't attend to your legitimate busi-
ness," said his wife.
Toes no Eyes.
"Mamma," said Henry Thomas, a bright
little fellow over in Algiers — ^"Mamma, have
my toes got eyes?" "No, my darling; why
do you ask such a foolish question?" "Be-
cause my foot's asleep."
"The telephone is
times."
"Yes; it's like matrimony. One
aJways get the party one wants."

The trip hammer doesn't travel far, but
it makes many trips.
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans, prepare ground for Turnips,
Spinach, Shallot, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early Dwarf and Plat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Collard seed, earth up Celery, Broccoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stand winter, Carrots sow. Squashea
sow. Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table use at inter-
vals. Potatoes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill
for heading; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for
winter supply, but as the seed vegetate with diffi-
culty at this season, repeat until successful; cut sage
and other herbs, gather seed and prepare groimd for
late crops.
FARM NOTES.
Cure Blight. — One ounce of copperas to
eight or ten gallons of water forms a good
wash, and is a preventive against blight.
Apples, when pared and cut, dry more
rapidly at a low temperature, at 46 de-
grees, than at any other temperature. An
important item to remember.
Root Crops. — Turnips and all other root
crops should be kept free from weeds, and
run the plow or cultivator between them.
Then cut and feed to hogs, cows and sheep.
Workshop. — A little workshop on the
farm, well supplied with tools, will save
money, afford many conveniences, encourage
the boys to industry and invention, and
often prevent much annoyance.
Ashes. — ^Do not allow ashes of any kind
to be wasted. It will pay to haul leached
ashes several miles, when one has his own
team and a laborer at fair wages. Coal
ashes, when spread around beny bushes of
any sort, or around grape vines, will aid
materially in producing large and fair fruit.
Advantage of Small Farms.- France has
fifty thousand farms averaging six hun-
dred acres, five hundred thousand averaging
sixty acres, and more than five million
under six acres. In this extended subdi-
vision of land under culture consists her
agricultural prosperity.
Probably no other animal on the farm,
except the" family cow, will pay better than
a breeding sow.

Not by mere moods, not by how I feel to-day, or
how I felt yesterday, may I know whether I am in-
deed living the life of God, but only by knowing
that God is using me to help others. No mood is
so bright that it can do without that warrant. No
mood is so dark that if it has that it need despair.
It is good for us to think no grace or blessing truly
ours till we are aware that God has blessed some one
else with it through us. — Selected.
Modem English.
Myer — -rm going over to the barber shop
to get a hair cut.
Gyer — Why don't you get them all cut
while you are at it?
Christmas Eve.
The Mother — ^Now, Bobby, it's time to
kneel down and say your prayers.
Bobby — Wouldn't it be a good idea to say
them to Santa Claus to-night?
Scripture Examination.
School Inspector — Now, boys, we read
that during the deluge Noah sent birds out
of the ark that he might know by their
return if there were any sign of dry land.
Can you tell me, Johnny Homer, how many
birds were sent?
J. H. — Four, please, sir.
School Inspector — ^Name them.
J. H. — First, the raven.
School Inspector — Good boy; go on.
J. H. — The second and third are not men-
tioned; but we read of the dove being sent
forth.
Nothing Doin* There.
Beggar — Say, mister, I'm out uv work, an'
I've got six small children t' support. Won't
youse gimme a few pennies fer 'em?
Citizen — Much obliged for the offer, old
man; but I've got all the children I need
at present.
Even a bachelor would rather be a wid-
ow's second husband than her first.
Gunner — What are you talking about,

Guyer — ^H'm!' Is that the celluloid case
you are smoking, or the cigar?
It's a wise mining stock that knows it's

The ocean of life is filled with breakers;
that is why so many of us go broke.
Garden Calendar for September,
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the Pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may be
transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM NOTES.
Apples boiled with meal are good for pigs.
Dip the tip of nails in grease and they
will easily drive into hard wood.
Do you know of any better farm fertilizer
than clover and sheep ? If not, why not use
these ?
Rotten wood, leaves and forest cleanings
make excellent plant food when plowed into
the ground.
Charred com is one of the best things
which can be fed to hens to make them lay.
It must not be fed as a regular diet, but in
limited quantities each day.
A farmer can not work his farm safely
Avithout knowing all about his soil. Every
field should be studied as to the effects of
certain methods with fertilizers upon it.
Then the owner can act with reasonable cer-
tainty. The plan of experimenting with fer-
tilizers should be followed up in successive
years, until the character of each field is
known.
Carefully compiled statistics prove that of
one hundred, ninety-five persons fail who
engage in mercantile pursuits. The same
statistics show that of all occupations, that
of the farmer is very much the safest, most
independent and profitable in the end. An-
other thing for the young to ponder on, is
the fact that it is the most natural, most
healthy and most honorable of all the pur-
suits of man.

There are three kinds of people in the world: the

Tommy — "No, I want to see the stork."

Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trana*
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant;
small bulb onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagua
beds dress; strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and
frost; collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and
expose them to the winds and air on a dry bench be-
fore they are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Autumn Leaves. — Gather and save au-
tumn leaves, and make comfortable beds
with them for your stock, after which they
will add amazingly to your compost heap.
Plapt Trees. — Before it gets too late, every
one who has not already a good orchard,
should plant a few fruit trees. Leaving out
of question the pleasure to be derived from
such a source, the value of fruits, especially
of apples, as promoters of health, is very
great indeed.
Mulching young fruit trees and vines is
very important. It prevents the excessive
evaporation of moisture from the soil, while
not hindering the warming of the soil by
the sun. Any old hay or light, porous ma-
terial will serve the purpose.
Fruit trees often perish in winter from
lack of moisture in the soil, more fre-
quently, perhaps, than from any other
cause, consequent upon a porous soil, after
an autumn of comparative dryness. Win-
ter drought may be obviated by thorough
mulching now with long manure.
The successful farmer must raise more
grass and stock, and less cotton and tobacco.
Never rent a farm if you can own one.
The man who rents a farm must neces-
sarily add much to the farm from which he
can not derive any benefit.
Don't stand still, improve a little every
year. A little work in cleaning up and im-
proving will add considerable to the appear-
ance at a very small cost.

WEATHER FORECASTS FOR NOVEMBER.— 1st to
2d, threatening; 3d to 4th, storms; 5th to 7th, fine
autumn weather; 8th to 9th, bright sunny days; 10th
to 12th, cloudy, gloomy; 13th to 14th, disagreeable
weather; 15th, threatening; 16th to 19th, storm
wave; 20th to 23d, sudden squalls; 24th to 25th,
general storms; 26th to 28th, gales; 29th to 30th,
bright, clear weather.
If there is no nobility of descent, all the more in-
dispensable is it that there should be nobility of
ascent — a character in them that bear rule so fine
and high and pure, that as men come within the
circle of its influence they involuntarily pay homage
to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the
royalty of virtue.— Selected.
So Generous.
"Tommy, did you give your brother the
best part of the apple, as I told you to?'*
Tommy — "Yessum; I gave him the seeds.
He can plant 'em and have a whole orchard."
Easy to Wake.
"You should be like the chickens, Willie;
just see how early they wake up in the
morning."
"Oh, well, I cou^ wake, up early, too, ma,
if I stood up all night!", '
Definition.
School teacher — "Johnny, you may tell
me what success means."
Johnny — "The prosperous termination of
anything attempted."
School teacher — "Now, Johnny, what is
a failure?"
Johnny — "Ma says pa is."
Afraid of Boiling.
A little fellow in turning over the leaves
of a scrap-book came across the well known
picture of some chickens just out of their
shell. He examined the picture carefully,
and then, with a grave, sagacious look,
slowly remarked, "They came out 'cos they
was afraid of being boiled."
A Remarkable Choir.
An old farmer and his wife were attending
church services one hot. Sabbath day. The
windows were open and the noisy chorus of
the crickets was distinctly audible. In due
course the choir sang an anthem, and the
old man, a music-lover, listened enraptured.
At its conclusion he turned to his wife and
whispered :
"Ain't thet glorious and divine, Mirandy ?"
"Yes," she answered, "and to think that
they do it all with their hind legs."
Almost any woman will believe a story
that has a scandal attached to it.
A man's popularity with women is often
similar to a cat's popularity ^ith mice.
Garden Calendar for November.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
leaves of the Cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery
earth-up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips
and Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a
good time to transplant fruit and ornamental treei
and shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting everj'greens.
FARM NOTES.
Drying Fruit.— Drying of fruits should be
continued; where there is no drying appa-
ratus, arrange racks near the kitchen stove
to use in damp weather.
Harvesting Apples. — Harvest the late ap-
ples and pears, and barrel them, but do not
put them in the cellar until the weather be-
comes cold. This year much of the fruit
must be examined and assorted before send-
ing to market.
Fattening Hogs. — It is now time to be^
to fatten swine, sheep and beeves intended
for the market. The more of this work
that can be done, the better for the farm
and the farmer. We would purchase as
many head as we could feed, buy bran, com
meal, or any other product of this charac-
ter to be procured. If stock were bought
with judgment and fed with skill, they
should bring in a handsome money profit,
and leave a large quantity of valuable
manure.
Harvest Crops. — To plant and harvest
crops is attended with much care and ex-
pense; and most farmers exhibit commend-
able industry up to this point, but when
those crops are to be fed out, many of them
do it with the greatest recklessness. Com
is thrown to the hogs in muddy, slushy
yards; hay is scattered upon the ground, to
be trampled in the manure by the cattle;
and the gleanly sheep receive their hay and
grain in the same manner.
Farmers, there can be no lasting pros-
perity to the farmer who depends entirely
upon any one crop "for his all." Go in for
home supplies first.

The agency God employs is the preacher. To uplift
fallen cities or nations one Jonah will do more than
a thousand other agencies, because God chooses this
way. It is not popular education, nor the universal
ballot; it is not the culture of art nor scientific pur-
Buit; it is not commercial activity nor the power of
the press, but the power of the preacher. The pulpit
has never lost its power and never will. — Selected.
A Bargain.
"How would you like for me to be your
big brother?" asked the kid's sister's suitor.
"Aw, g'wan!" said the kid. "If you ain't
got the nervfe to ask 'er I'll do it fer ye fer
a quarter."
What They Wanted.
"Now, boys,'* said the Sunday school
superintendent, "what shall I tell you about
this morning?"
"De sluggin' match 'tween David 'n Ger-
lier!" cried the infant class.
Giving Him Away.
Infant terrible — "Pop, do men ever have
wings ?"
Father— '"That's a foolish question; why
do you ask it?"
Infant terrible — " 'Cause I heard ma tell-
ing Mrs. Tattle you used to be a high-flyer.
Horrid Man.
Mrs. Newed (during the first spat) —
Some of my friends say that you only mar-
ried me for my money.
Newed — Well, please don't contradict
Ihem, my dear. I don't want them to think
Tm a fool.
There is one thing in the homely girl's
favor; she seldom acquires a reputation as
a flirt.
A girl thinks she isn't being treated as
she should be if the man she is engaged to
refuses to get jealous.
A woman's idea of heaven is" a place
^here her hair will stay in curl and powder
rage are unknown. \
Bven though a young man may consider
a girl worth her weight in gold it's ten to
one that her father only ^waits a chance
to give her away.
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open the groimd may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish and Salad
sow in frames, also Lettuce. Transplanting treea
may still be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc.
Transplant all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown
in Octot>er will be fit to put out. Sow large York
to head in January and February. Small Onions may
still be planted. Earth-up Celery in dry weather.
Thin Spinach as you collect for daily use.
FARM NOTES.
Study the Markets. — Study carefully the
markets around you, and find out that
which sells most readily and at the best
uniform prices, and endeavor to supply that
for which the market pays best.
Economy and Interest. — One dollar per
day (working day), saved and invested at
8 per cent compound interest, will in 45
years amount to $125,000, of which only
$14,000 was from earnings, and $111,000 ac-
cumulated interest.
CoUards. — This variety of cabbage is to
be found in the South, there is nothing that
stands our climate better, and for cattle has
no equal during the late summer and fall;
after frost it is pronounced by many to be
equal to any variety of cabbage.
Plowing Wet Land. — It is a positive in-
jury to plow wet lands. Let not bad
weather, and the delay which it occasion*
in fall operations, induce you to commence
plowing until the ground is dry enough for
the plow. The bad effects of plowing wet
land remain and impede vegetation for a
long time. Make haste slowly in plowing
wet land.
Every farmer should have an experi-
mental plot of his own. The information
gained of a practical kind will be invalu-
able. If every farmer in North Carolina
could be induced to try a few experiment*
annually agriculture would make more
rapid progress than any other branch of in-
dustry.
Your neighbors have rights. See that
your animals do not annoy others.

ASTRONOMICAL.
The moon is without water, and desti-
tute of an atmosphere.
The nearest fixed star is 21,000,000,000
miles from the earth.
Some of the stars move with a velocity of
nearly 50 miles a second.
The fixed stars are suns and each may
have its own planetary system.
There are twenty stars of Uhe first mag-
nitude and seventy of the second.
The fixed star second in distance is «63,-
000,000,000 of miles from the earth.
Astronomers claim that there are 17,500,-
000 comets in the solar system.
The strongest telescopes bring the moon
k) an apparent distance of 100 miles.
To the naked eye 3,000 stars are visible;
ttie b6st telescopes show 5,500,000.
There are stars whose diameter is greater
tfian that of our whole solar system.
The tail of a comet is believed to be
matter similar to that contained in the
nebulae.
The planets Venus and Mars most nearly
resemble the earth in climatic conditions.
Arcturus has a circumference of 224,000,-
000 miles and our sun of 886,000 miles.
Mars has two moons. When one has been
reduced to its last quarter the other is full.
The spectroscope has shown that the
prominences on the sun are outbursts of
glowing hydrogen.
The sun's volume is 1,407,124 times that
of the earth and 600 times greater than all
the planets.
The earth has three mictions: Eound its
axis, round the sun and with the sun and
solar system.
The moon gives out heat enough to affect
a thermometer and make a difference of two
or three degrees.
The calculations of the astronomer Baily I
proved that tlie weight of the earth is '
6,049,836,000,000,000 tons.
Sun spots 100,000 miles in diameter have
been measured, large enough to hold dozens
of such worlds as ours.
;. Some stars are believed to be so far a-vay
that 2,000,000 years are required for their
light to reach the earth.
The motion of the earth around the sun
J, is 68,305 miles an hour, over 1,000 miles a
i minute, or 19 miles a second.
The fixed stars are of all colors, violet,
blue, green and red predominating.
Some stars are so distant that, traveling
200,000 miles in a second, their light re-
quires 14,000 years to reach the earth.
So remote is the planet Neptune from the
sun, its mean distance being 2,745,998,000
miles, that its temperature is estimated to
be 900 degrees below zero.
The sun's average distance from the earth
is nearly 93,000,000 miles. At one period of
the year the earth is 3,000,000 miles farther
from the sun than at another.
The light of the sun is equal to 5,563 wax
candles, held at the distance of one foot
from the eye. It would require 600,000 full
moons to produce a day as brilliant as one
of cloudless sunshine.
The sun gives 600,000 times as much light
as the moon; 7,000,000,000 as much as the
brightest star, and 36,000,000 as much as all
the stars combined. In size the sun equals
1,300,000 earths, but owing to its smaller
density its weight equals only 300,000
earths.
The moon is a fossil world, an ancient
cinder, a ruined habitation. The moon was
once the seat of all the varied and intense
activities that now charactei;ize the surface
of our earth. Its life age was, perhaps,
reached while the earth was yet glowing.
The planets arranged in the order of their
nearness to the sun are: Mercury, 35,392,-
000 miles distant; Venus, 66,134,000 miles
distant; the earth, 91,430,000 miles; Mars,
139,311,000 miles; Jupiter, 475,692,000
miles; Saturn, 872,137,000 miles; Uranus,
1,753,869,000 miles, and Neptune, 2,745,998,-
000 miles.
If, when Wellington won the battle of
Waterloo, in 1815, the news could have been
telegraphed off immediately, there are affme
stars so remote that it would not have
reached them. If the tidings of the first
Chris>tmas-tide*in Bethlehem had been thus
sent to the stars, tTice are some orbits situ-
ated in the furthermost depths of space
which could not receive the message for a
long time yet.
The sun has a diameter of 866,500 miles,
or 109 1-2 times that of the earth. If one
would illustrate the relative size of the sun
iTi'l eav^h, let him take a globe two feet in
Jijife;' ', then take a French pea, and place
it '12.V fvei from the globe. Now, if he would
fix lh«' rrlMiive distance of the nearest fixed
star, Th' \vould have to place it on the other
side of tbe earth, 8,000 miles away.

MAXIMS ON MONEY.
A wise man should have money in his
head, but not in his heart. — Dean Swift.
Money does all things; for it gives and it
takes away. It makes honest men and
knaves, fools and philosophers. — L'Estrange.
He that wants money, means, and con-
tent, is without three good friends. — Shake-
speare.
Money is like manure, — of very little use
except it be spread. — Bacon.
Make all you can; save all you can; give
all you can. — John Wesley.
Eeady money is Aladdin's lamp. — ^Lord
Byron.
The use of money is all the advantage
there is in having it. — Benjamin Franklin.
Put not your trust in money, but put
your money in trust. — Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
Men are seldom more innocently employed
than when they are honestly making money.
— Samuel Johnson.
Money is a handmaid if you know how to
use it, — a mistress if you do not know how.
— Horace.
It happens a little unluckily that the
persons who have the most infinite con-
tempt for money are the same that have
the^^strongest appetite for the pleasures it
produces. — Sh^nstone.
Gold is a wonderful clearer of the under-
standing. It dissipates every doubt ^ and
scruple in an instant, accommodates itself
to the meanest capacities, silences the loud
and clamorous, and brings over the most
obstinate and inflexible. — Addison.
SMART SAYINGS.
Thought without action is an evil, and
so is action without thought.
He who is willing to act only upon strict-
lyr^cientific principles is unfitted for practi-
cal life. ,
A beautiful work is beautiful through a
kind of truth that is truer than any enumer-
ation of Unquestioned facts.
The country during the rain resembles
a face with tears upon it — ^not perhaps so
beautiful, but even more expressive.
"*«
Women are at once the sex which is the
most faithful and still the most fickle —
most faithful morally, and most fickle
socially.
In every loving woman there exists a
priestless of the past, a loyal keeper of
some affection for which the motive has dis-
appeared.
Love must always remain alluring and
fascinating if the sway of woman is to lait.
As soon as the mystery is gone the attrac-
tion disappears.
Women wish to be loved without any rea-
son why — not because they are pretty or
good or well-bred or graceful or clever, but
just because they are themselves.
Want of beauty in a woman, because it
is unnatural, is as hateful as a gash, a dis-
cord, a spot of ink — in fact, as anything
that is contrary to order. On the other
hand, beauty refreshes and strengthens one
like some miraculous food.
As soon as a man or a people or a litera-
ture or a period becomes feminine in type,
it declines in prestige and in power. As
soon as a woman leaves that state of
subordination in which her natural merits
have full play we see a speedy increase in
her natural faults. Complete equality with
man makes her contentious. A position of
supremacy makes her tyrannical. For a
long time the best solution will be found in
honoring her and at the same time in con-
trolling her.
In the prison cell he sits thinking how
he'll give them fits,
When a friendly court shall tell him he
can go;
But the foes of Mr. Schmitz think that here
is where he quits,
For a saucy little bird has told them so.
Bug — So you have succeeded in tracing
back my ancestors? What is your fee?
Genealogist — One hundred dollars for keep-*
ing quiet about them.
The fruit tree agent doesn't care to be
known as a professional grafter.
Gaye — ^Yes, he is what you might call a
financial pessimist. Myers — What's a finan-
cial pessimist? A man who is afraid to
look pleasant for fear his friends will want
to borrow soipething.
It is unlucky to meet 13 of your creditors
on Friday.
First Tramp — After all, it pays to be
polite, pardner. Second Tramp — ^Not al-
ways. The other day I was actin' deaf and
dumb when a man gave me ten cents. I
says 'Thank you, sir,* and he had me ar-
rested.
The thoughts of a music composer should
be noteworthy.

THE WISDOM OF AGE.

Rochefoucauld.
Women and music should never be dated.
— Goldsmith.
We do not count a man's years until he
has nothing else to count. — Emerson.
Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle;
old age a regret. — ^Beaconsfield.
Forty is the old age of youth and the
youth of old age. — Victor Hugo.
No woman should ever be quite accurate
about her age. It looks so calculating. —
Wilde.
To be seventy years young is sometimes
more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty
years old. — Holmes.
Old wood is best to burn, old wine to
drink, old friends to trust, and old authors
to read. — Bacon.
WEIGHT OF MAN ON MOON AND
PLANETS.
If the planet Mars is really inhabited, the
people who live there must be an exceed-
ingly nimble race. The average weight of
a man is about one hundred and forty
pounds, but the force of gravity on Mars
is so much less than on the earth that the
hundred-and-forty-pound man would weigk
only fifty-three pounds if he were trans-
ported there. With such light weight, and
still retaining the same strength, an indi-
vidual would be able to run with the speei
of an express train, going skipping over ten-
foot walls, and do various other extraordi-
nary things. On the moon, a man would
be even lighter.
But on the sim, our hundred-and-forty-
pound man would have his troubles. In-
stead of being an airy individual, he would
weigh in the neighborhood of a ton an*
three-quarters. He would probably have the
greatest difficulty in raising his hand, for
that member would weigh about three hun-
dred pounds.
Some people are surprised that so many
people are insane; while I am surprised
that any of us are sane in a world of so
many odd faiths.
Nobody has discovered the secret of hap-
piness. They lose it who go searching for
it, while those who are compelled to search
daily for bree*^ find more happiness than
the idle rich who go riding after it in an
automobile.

AFFINITIES OF MEN AND BOOTS.
i
Both Have Like Weaknesses and Good Qual-
ities, and Are Similarly Affected under
Certain Circumstances.
There is more in a man's boots than he
is apt to think — apart from himself. Tak-
ing them on the whole, from the similarity
of character which his boots bear to him-
self it would almost appear that there was
really some affinity between them. Here are
a few instances in support of the theory:
Boots go on feet; so do men.
' Boots have soles; so have men.
Boots sometimes get tight; so do men.
Poor boots are run over; so are poor
men.
A boot will .shine, if polished; so will
man.
A boot to get on needs a pull; so does
man.
Some boots have red tops; so have some
men.
Some boots lose their soles; so do some
men.
Some boots are imitation calf; so are
some men.
Boots are tanned; so are men — in their
youth.
Some boots can't stand wa^r; neither can
some men.
When a boot is well soaked it is a hard
case; so is a man.
A boot when old gets wrinkled and hard;
so does a man.
A boot to be of much account must have
a mate; so must a man.
A boot when well heeled always feels
comfortable; so does a man.
The less understanding there is in a boot
the bigger it feels; so it is with a man.
SAYINGS OF LINCOLN.
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or per-
ish, I give my hand and my heart to this
vote. — Eulogy on Adams and Jefferson, Au-
gust 2, 1826.
God grants liberty only to those who love
it, and are always ready to guard and de-
fend it.— Speech, June 3, 1834.
Whatever makes men good Christians,
makes them good citizens. — From Speech at
Plymouth, December 22, 1820.
One country, one constitution, one des-
tiny.— Speech, March 15, 1837.
A man in trouble always appreciates a
favor — until he gets out.

iniense Heat Improves Tobacco Like Roasting Im-
proves Green Coffee. It Brings out the Stimu-
lating Aroma and Taste Found in Tobacco and
Coffee.
There are three ways used by farmers for curing
and preparing their tobacco for the marJcet,
namely, sun cured, air cured, and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured; the later
discovery and improved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing, the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot flues, in houses
especially built to retain the heat, and there kept
in the proper temperature until this curing pro-
cess develops in the tobacco a stimulating taste
and fragrant aroma, just as green coflFee is made
fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process.
Schnapps tobacco is made entirely from choice
selections of ripe, j uicy, flue cured leaf, grrown
in the. famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows. That's why a 10c plug of
Schnapps is more economical than a much larger
plug of cheap tobacco Many of the imitations
on sale claimed to be "just as t40od " as Schnapps,
have the genuine flue cured Schnapps quality of
tobacco on the outside of the plugs, but the inside
of the plugs contains cheap, heavily sweetened air
cured tobaccos. One chew of Schnapps will
satisfy tobacco hungrer long-er than t-wo chews
of &uch tobacco. Expert tests prove that this
flue cured tobacco requires-and takes less sweet-
ening than any other kind, and has a wholesome
stimuJating effect on chewers.
Schnapps is made entirely of the flue cured to-
bacco, formerly sold to chewers from 75c to 81 00
per pound. Schnapps is sold at 50c per pound in
5c cuts, strictly 10c and 15c plugs.

GROWLS OF A DYSPEPTIC.
Beware of the married man who acts nm
if he was glad of it.
Love seldom travels in the same vehicle
with common sense.
The skin-deep beauty of a girl may b#
good for a marriage license.
He who praises men and flatters women
has many fair-weather friends.
As a man's brilliant future grows shorter
his unbrilliant past grows longer.
It takes an accomplished liar to hand a
woman satisfactory compliments.
He who is away from home most of the
time dodges a lot of domestic trouble.
The more nerve a man has the less money
he lo.^es when he fails in business.
Always speak well of yourself. Your
friends will attend to the other side of it.
It sometimes happens that a man hits an
enemy a hard blow by ignoring him.
No man amounts to very much until the
world begins to sit up and notice him.
It is easier to touch the average man's
heart than it is to touch his pocket-book.

METEROLOGICAL.
Summer Thunderstorms are caused by
contact of different currents of air with
varying temperatures and varying electri-
cal conditions.
How Storms Revolve. — In the Northern
Hemisphere all storms revolve from right to
left; in the Southern Hemisphere they re-
volve from left to right.
Shooting Stars. — Hersehel estimates the
average height of shooting stars above the
earth to be 73 miles at their appearance and
62 at their disappearance.
Meteors. — Prof. Newton estimates that
the average number of meteors that tra-
verse the atmosphere daily, visible to the
eye on a dark clear night, is 7,500,000, and
if to these the telescopic meteors be added,
the number would be increased to 400,000,-
000.
Solar Heat. — The two most widely ac-
cepted explanations of the maintenance of
flolar heat are (1) that it is due to the
energy developed^lby meteoric matter falling
on the sun; and (2) that it is produced and
kept up by slow contractions of the sun's
bulk.
Lightning. — The old-time theory that
lightning never turns back in its tracks has
been apparently disproved by photography.
J It is said that an examination of lightning
photography shows that a flash not only
turns back sometimes, but tangles itself
into a kind of knot.
Sun Spots. — The prevalence of sun spots
is intimately connected with the occurrence
of magnetic storms on the earth's surface.
The sun gives us of its heat but one part in
22,000,000. How to get one part more, how
to further utilize the solar energy that is
going to waste, is one of the great problems
to be solved.
Rain Drops. — The size and shape of rain
drops has been the subject of special inves-
ts ligation. The size of the drop ranges from
mn almost invisible point to at least two
inches in diameter. Occasionally large
drops fall that must be more or less hollow,
as they fail to wet the whole surface en-
closed within the drop.
Rainy Days. — James Glaisher, the well-
known Scotch meterologist, asserts, after
long investigation, that the ninth day of the
moon is the most rainy of the whole 28, and
that in the first and the last weeks of the
moon's age the rainfall is less than the
average. The records kept by Mr. Glaisher
also indicate 4 o'clock in the afternoon as
the rainiest hour in the day.
Twilight.— Twilight is longest toward
the poles, where the night of six months is
shortened by an evening twilight of about
50 days, and a morning one of equal length.
At the equator the length of the evening
twilight is about 11-4 hours, and remains
almost constant the entire year.
Storm Velocity. — The rate of progrei-
sion of a storm is often fifty miles an hour,
and a series has been traced in a direct lin«
from north to south, a distance of 400 miles..=.
Mr. Marriott thinks that the average alti-
tude of a thunder-storm does not extend
beyond 5,000 feet above the earth's surface.
Height of Atmosphere.— Calculations,
based on the observation of refraction of
light, have caused it to be supposed that
the air becomes so rare at the height of
about 60 miles that the distance may be re-
garded as the limit to its sensible extent,
but other calculations made during th«
present century, of the distance of the earth
at which meteors ignite, indicate that the
atmosphere extends upwards of 100 miles.
Weather Indications. — ^A rosy sunset
presages good weather; ruddy sunrise bad
weather. A bright yellow sky in the even-
ing indicates wind; pale yellow sky in the
evening indicates wet. A neutral gray
color at evening is a favorable sign; in the
morning an unfavorable one. Soft and
feathery clouds betoken fine weather. A
morning rainbow indicates rain, a noon bow
slight and heavy rain, and an evening bow
fair weather. An easterly bow indicates
clear weather the next day; one in the west
means more rain the same day. A rainbow
in spring precedes fair weather for forty-
two hours.
Hailstorms. — Meterologists are not a unit
in agreement upon the manner of formation
of hailstones. The theory of Dove has been
given most credence. He believes that the
hailstones pass rapidly from the cold air to
the warm, moist air, and again from the
warm air into the colder, thus alternately
taking on a jacket of moisture and freezing
it around the nucleus or heart. The for-
mation of the nucleus itself, it is conceded,
is from the snowflake in the cold cloud«
which, being whirled about, forms a small
ball about which subsequent layers congeal
as the ball is tossed about into the atmos-
pheres of different temperatures. The hail-
s+^ne, from its varying shapes and angu-
larities, shows that it has had a wild and
irregular career in the sky, sometimes melt-
ing into crooked shapes, then being tossed
upward and congealed rapidly. It takes but
ten minutes, so the meterologists say, to
form the largest hailstones known.

WHY THEY MARRIED.
An editor sent out circular letters to a
large number of married men and asked
them why they married. Here are some of
the answers:
I didn't intend to do it.
Because I did not have the experience I
have now.
I married to get even with her mother,
jj)ut never have.
That's what I have been trying for eleven
years to find out.
I yearned for company. Now we have it
all the time.
I thought it would be cheaper than a
breach of promise suit.
I wanted a companion of the opposite sex.
N. B. — She is still opposite.
The old man was going to give me his
boot so I took his daughter's hand.
Because I asked her to have me and she
said she would. I think she's got me.
Because I thought she was one among a
thousand; now I think she is a thousand
among one.
I was lonely and melancholy, and wanted
some one to make me lively. She makes me
very lively.
THE TIDES.
The tides, which are principally governed
by the Moon, are not always equally high,
nor do they happen at equal intervals; for
the position of the Moon with respect to the
Sun, her declination, and her distance from
the Earth, with various other causes oper-
ating to introduce irregularity, render it
extremely difficult to predict the precise time
of High Water. Tides are usually highest
a day or two after New and full Moons, and
lowest just after the Moon's quadratures.
The highest floods and the lowest ebba occur
at the New and Full Moons, near the equi-
noxes in March and September.
We are not posted in a great many phases
of business and scientific problems, because
we have no immediate use for the informa-
tion, but every man should study pelStieal
economy.

HISTORY OF THE STATE FLAG.
The flag of very ancient origin.
Very few know that it is a divine in-
stitution. Search the Scriptures and
you will find that the prophets of
Israel command the mighty host of
God's executive people, to carry the
banner. The wisdom of this was to
let the peoples of the earth know the
sovereigntv, or the superme power of
Jehovah, over the children of men.
Since then all nations and countries
have had their flags. All the States
of the American Union have flags of
some kind All the States with the ex-
ception of seven, have simply the coat
of arms upon some colored field. The
first' North Carolina flag was of this
class, and existed up to 1861.
The convention of North Carolina in
1861, adopted a different, or distmct
flag. Col. John D. Whitford. of New
Bern, a member of the convention
from Craven county, introduced an
ordinance at this convention relatmg
to a State flag. The ordinance passed
the convention, and a committee was
appointed to prepare a design. Th>e
committee, through its chairman, Col.
Whitford, solicited the aid of William
Jarl Brown, an artist living in Raleigh
to prepare a model. This artist
Brown did and submitted the model
t» the committee. While the matter
of a State flag was before the con-
vention, suggestions poured in from all
sections of the State. The excitement
over the coming civil strife between
the States, caused the soldiers to
clamor for a flag to carry with them
to the front. After the committee's
adoption of the Brown design for a
State flag, the Brown model was pre-
sented bv the committee to Col. Whit-
ford. This flag was borrowed by the
Governor of the State and he loaned it
to a captain of some company, who
carried it to the field of battle, and
was never seen afterwards. In the
convention Journal of 1861. page 16,
the flag is described as follows: "That
the flag of this State shall be a blue
field, with a white star, incircling
which shall be the words. 'Surgit
Astrum May 20 th. 1775.'" Atfer in-
terogating manj'^ old soldiers and citi-
zens we failed to find one who ever
saw or heard of this flag. We pre-
sume it was short-lived, or may have
been supplanted by the Confederate
flags, four of which existed during the
civil war. This was the second State
flag.
It will not be out of place to state
in this connection, that the Confed-
erate battle flag was designed by a
North Carolinian, Mr. Orrin R. Smith,
late of ^Varren county, but now a cit-
izen of Raleigh. N. C. claims the
honor of this flag, and we call it a
No^rth Carolina flag.
The present State flag was a crea-
tion of the Legislature of 1885. The
bill being Introduced by General John-
ston Jones, of Buncombe county. In
relation to a State flag. This flag I«
described in the laws of 1885, chap-
ter 291, as follows:
"The flag of North Carolina shall
consist of a blue union, containing in
the center thereof a white star with
the letter 'N' in gilt on the left of the
letter *C' in gilt on the right of said
star, the circle containing the same to
be one-third the width of said union.
The fly of the flag shall consist of two
equally proportioned bars, the upper
bar to be red. the lower bar to be
white; the length of the bars horizon-
tally shall be equal to the perpendicu-
lar length of the union, and the total
length of the flag shall be one-third
more than its width. Above the star
in the center of the union there shall
be a gilt scroll in semi-circular form,
containing in black letters this inscrip-
tion: 'May 20th. 1775,' and below the
6tar there shall be a similar scroll
containing in black letters the inscrip-
tion 'April 12th, 1776.'
(May 20th is the date of the Meck-
lenburg Declaration; April 12th is the
-date of the Halifax Resolution.]
This is the third State flag, and
something that we should have had
long ago. For nearly twenty years af-
ter the act of IS 85. the State flag was
almost in obscurity. Occasionally one
could be seen floating over the State
house, especially during the sessions of
the Legislature. Some few others ex-
isted here, and there, over the State,
but were made in a crude manner and
not in conformity to legal regulations.
The Legislature of 1907, in its wis-
dom, however, passed an act that
brought the flag from its hiding. This
act says, "that for the purpose of pro-
moting greater loyalty and respect to
State sovereignty, and in as much as
a special act of the Legislature of 188i,
passed an act adopting an emblem of
our Government, to be known as the
North Carolina State flag, that it is
meet and proper that it shall be given
prominence." The act is inanditory
and requires all public buildings, State
institutions and county courthouses to
float the State flag. This act was writ-
ten by the writer, and we are proud
to make known the fact that the State
flag now floats over all the State build-
ings and institutions, save three, and
most of the courthouses have also
fallen into line. In addition to this,
many public and private schools,
lodges, and North Carolina societies, in
other States, are now under the "Em-
blem of our Sovereignty." Many pri-
vate families also have the flag as a
parlor ornament. One enterprising
publishing house in Raleigjh has adopt-
ed the flag as a trade mark, and dur-
ing the last four years have sent out
over twenty thousand flags on calen-
54
TUE]^EE-EISr:^ISS :NrORTH CAEOLIlSrA ALMAISTAC.
dars, fans and in other ways. Many
have been sent to the Jamestown Ex-
position, and we believe the impetus
given by the last Legislature will per-
manently establish the flag in North
Carolina.
When we come to consider the vast
import and importance of our flag
and how few in North Cal-olina ever
saw, or heard of the State flag, it is
a wonder that interest in this import-
ant matter should have remained dead
so long.
The State flag is a great object les-
son, intuitively teaching loyalty and
sovereignty. The day is not far dis-
tant, however, when the State flag
will be known from the mountains to
the sea, and will float from every
school house and be in every home
throughout our great State. Then will
the rising generations be loyal, and
respect the sovereign power of their
State. Our flag will be as the South-
ern States colonial flag of 1776, and
known as the "snake flag," which had
a white field with a coiled snake in
the center, with the motto underneath,
"Don't Tread on Me."
This meagre account or evolution of
the State flag is published with the
view that others may add additional
facts, until we shall have a complete
history of our flag.— Pinck. C. Enniss, in

WIT AND WISDOM.
Habits are part of our life in youth, and
all of life later on.
If a man is right he can't be too radical,
and if he's wrong he can't be too conserva-
tive.
Millions of dollars have been expended in
printing books of evidence to prove things
barren of facts.
Next to wilfully breaking our own neck
is the task of breaking away from old habits
and early faith.
Ever since man was gifted with the power
of thought he has been dodging the unseen
demons of the air.
It's easier for a man to marry a woman
for her beauty than it is to live with her
for the same reason.
Married people often exhaust the angel
qualities in each other — and then comes the
devil part of the animal.
Some men are poor because they are hon-
est and some are honest because they are
rich and can afford to be.
Nobody's legs are too short to touch the
earth, and nobody can raise his head high
enough to disturb the clouds.
Statistics show that the sooner a man al-
lows his wife to have the last word the
sooner the coatroversy will end.
For the little while we live together, and
for the long while we lie dead together, let
us be at peace.
When one girl meets another she invTari-
ably repeats the conversation she had with
the last young man she met.
Fruitage and rootage are closely related,
and the man rooted in political prejudi««
will bear the same sort of fruit.
A woman may not be able to drive a
horse or a nail, but when it comes to driv-
ing a bargain the manages to get there.
If a woman possesses neither powers of
conversation mor curiosity she ought t#
prove a drawimg card in a dime museum.
It is true, aevertheless, that after a we-
man of 30 has been a widow for six weeks
she imagines all her married woman friends
envy her.
Religion may be love, but when the tur-
key and the deacon lie down together, the
turkey has discovered a whole lot about the
deacon's inards.
We look upward to search for heaven
simply because we can't see into the bowels
of the earth. We move where the lines of-
fer the least resistance.

TURINTEK-ENI^ISS E^ORTH CAROLHSTA ALMANAC.
THE DIARY OF AN OLD MAID.
The following truthful and touching his-
tory of an old maid, dating from about 1843,
is one of the briefest, yet at the same time
most complete, records of human experience
in print. Those who can read between the
lines will have full sympathy.
History proverbially repeats itself, and
kuman nature, especially feminine nature,
k still the same:
At fifteen years, anxious for coming out.
Sixteen, began to have some idea of the
tender passion.
Seventeen, talked of love in a cottage,
and disinterested affection.
Eighteen, fancied myself in love with
some handsome man who flattered me.
Nineteen, was a little more difficult, in
consequence of being noticed.
Twenty, commenced fashionable and dash-
ing.
Twenty-one, still more confidence in my
own attractions, and expected a brilliant
establishment.
Twenty-two, refused a good offer because
he was not a man of fashion.
Twenty-three, flirted with every young
man I met.
Twenty-four wondered why not married.
Twenty-five, rather more circumspect in
conduct.
Twenty-six, began to think a large for-
tune not quite so indispensable.
Twenty-seven, preferred the company of
rational men.
Twenty-eight, M-ished to be married in a
quiet way, with a comfortable home and
children.
Twenty-nine, almost despaired of enter-
ing the marriage state.
Thirty, was rather fearful of being called
an old maid.
Thirty-one, an additional love of dress.
Thirty- two, professed to dislike balls,
finding it difficult to get good partners.
Thirty- three, wondered how men could
leave the society of sensible women to flirt
with chits.
Thirty-four, affected good humor in con-
versation with men.
Thirty-five, jealous of the praises of
women.
Thirty-six, quarreled with friend who had
been lately married.
Thirty-seven, thought myself slighted in
company.
Thirty-eight, liked talking of my ac-
quaintances who are married unfortunately,
and found endless consolation in their mis-
fortunes.
Tljirty-nine, ill-nature increased.

Forty, became a confirmed scold.
And soon up to fifty, when the lady seized
upon lap dogs, and talked largely of philan-
thropy. After that age, gray hairs start
out upon the temple, and "old lady" be-
comes the tune — no longer old maid.
Don't try to get rich, you never can. Mil-
lionaires are the poorest men on earth.
Their greed for dollars makes them miser
able.
Books can only convey to you the
knowledge of other people, weak and frail
and short-sighted as yourself. Only nature
can give deeper lessons in original thought.
Work gives his disciples sleep; idleness
gives them insomnia, disappointment and
discontent.
The leader of a mob is often a better
citizen than the leader of a political party.
A woman's idea of a model husband is
one who takes house cleaning philosophi-
cally. [

TWINKLING OF THE STARS.
The scintillation or twinkling of the stars
is supposed to arise from the constant and
sudden compression and dilatation of the
molecules of the atmosphere, producing a
difference in its refractive power, and con-
sequently a change in the direction of the
rays of light. The effect is not so sensible
in the planets because of their disks; hene«
their steady and uniform appearance.

THE TWIJfKLING OF THE STABS.
This is not a property of the star itself,
but depends, first, upon the irregular re-
fraction of the rays of light from the star
as they pass through the air, this irreg-
ularity being due to differences of tem-
perature and wind; and secondly, to the
optical principle called interference, by
virtue of which the rays of light from a
luminous point interfere with each other
and cause a play of colors as well as
varying brightness. The planets do not
generally twinkle because they have disks,
but the stars are so distant that they are
reduced in size to a point as seen from
the earth.
THE IfUMBEE OF VISIBLE STABS.
The number of stars visible to the naked
eye throughout the whole northern and
southern heavens, is between 6,000 and
7,000. A moderate increase in optical
power, however, increases the number
greatly, for an opera glass 1% inches in
diameter will show over 100,000 stars.
The number visible in the Yerkes tele-
scope, whose object glass is 40 inches in
diameter, is estimated at over 100,000,000,
while the number that can be photo-
graphed with present means and methods,
giving the photographic plate several
hours exposure, is estimated at between
150,000,000 and 200,000,000.
LTrSAJEL APPULSE.
Since the sun sends out its light in all
directions, the earth always intercepts
a portion of it and casts a shadow. This
shadow formed behind the earth and op-
posite the sun, consists of two parts, viz.:
the umbra or shadow proper, and the
penumbra. In the case of the umbra, the
whole of the sun's light' is cut off, but in
the case of the penumbra, only a part of
it. When the moon enters the penumbra
and even comes quite close to the umbra,
the darkening of the moon's disk is so
slight that it is hardly perceptible. This
close approach to the shadow is called a
lunar appulse, which means that the moon
nearly hits the shadow. When, however,
the moon enters the umbra, or real shad-
ow, the phenomenon is properly called an
eclipse. It may be added that the faint
illumination of the moon's disk during a
lunar eclipse is due to the fact that a
small amount of the sun's light, which
is cut off, is bent round by the earth's
atmosphere and thrown upon the moon's
surface.

EXPLAIfATIONS AIO) EEMAHKS.
The cftlcuiaiions of this Almanac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in meaa ao-Jar
tioae. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with
tie sun on foui' days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all othtr
days in the year the sun will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clocrf; and this diflfer-
eace, called Equation of Time, is given for each day in the column marked " ^n fast " or " sun ^ow."
The pi^eciictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian. W.), which is tlie
time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by
14 minutes Z2A seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
A.11 calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol beii g
in latitude 3£P 46.-5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."i ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few mtButes
for any part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.
RISING AND SETTING OF THE SUN.
Che Almanacs generally used have made the rl.4ng aud setting together equal 12 hours. This 's

cllnation, that it ma^eg a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here give a

TIDES.
L#ocai time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-
sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's ti-ansit over the local meridian. The time of the
next corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide
already found. In this almanac the tides for Southport. N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have
been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

"Old Glory" stands for a great history; and not
only does it stand for traditions and actual historical
events, but as a banner the flag is older than almost
any of the flags of modern nations. It also stands
for glory, both of the past and of the present, and
also of the future. Duty, it also symbolizes, and as a
banner of freedom it upholds liberty for all alike,
icHgi0us as well as political. — Selected.
Codfish's Happy Lot
"Tbe female codfish," remarked the
boarder who had been gleaning statistics
from between the covers of a patent med-
icine almanac, "lays more than a million
eggs. Now what do you think of that?"
"I think," rejoined the Cheerful Idiot,
"that it's a mighty lucky thing for the
codfish that she doesn't have to cackle
over every egg"
How It Happened.
"Please, ma'am," said the husky hobo,
"would youse help a pore feller wot wuz
caught on a ellervator an' laid up fer six
months?"
"Certainly, poor man!" replied the kind
lady. Here's a dollar for you. How did
you happen to get caught in an elevator?"
"De perlice was too quick fer me," ex-
plained the h. h. as he hastily beat it.
The Difference.
One day an old man was driving toward
town. The mule that he drove was very
poor and old. On the way he met a young
man in an auto. The young man, think-
ing to have some fun with the man in the
cart, said: "Say, old fellow, can you tell
me the difference between your wagon
and mine?"
The old man paused a second before
answering, then said, slowly: "The only
difference is that in my wagon the jack-
ass is between the shafts, while in yours
he la on the seat." The young man went
on.
W de descendants ob de rooster what
crowed at Peter was to make a noise
ebery time a lie is told, dar would be
sl<?h a noise In de world dat yer couldn't
hear de hens cackle. — Brother Gardner.
Ohampaigne and love are both intoxica-
ting, and both leave you with "that tired
feeling."

Garden Calendar for Jannary.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy dress-
ing with compost and salt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings pnt out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shallots.
Lettuce plants from fall sowing transplant. Spinach
may be sown for early spring use. Onions hoe and
all other hardy crops planted in autumn. Peas sow
at intervals; some may be frosted, but try again.
Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may
be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cab-
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
Sod Land. — Sod land may be plcvred
now and will be in better condition for
planting spring crops. The larvae of cut
and grubworms will be killed if turned
up to the frosts of late winter.
Keep Ont of Debt. — A good deal of the
indebtedness of farmers is for fertilizers.
Make an effort this year to make more
manure on your farm and buy less
commercial fertilizers, and you will be
enabled to keep out of debt at least on
this score.
Plants for the Year. — System contri-
butes to success in farming as well as
in other pursuits. To reach high success
it must be adopted in farm operations.
Plans for the year's work should now be
determined and all arrangements made
that can be for fully carrying them out.
Fences should be built where needed
and the old or decayed rails replaced with
new. Be sure your fence is of lawful
height. A case of damages for injury to
crops by a vicious cow breaking into the
fields has recently been decided by the
Supreme Court, against the plaintiff, be-
cause he did not put a "sufficient fence,
at least five feet high."
Tools and Implements. — The loss from
careless attention to farm tools and im-
plements is immense. Wagons, carts,
plows, etc., left out to the sun and rains
will- not last hralf as long as if properly
sheltered. The loss by exposure is often
more than the wear. If you have no
place of shelter it will pay to build one.
All farm implements should now be ex-
amined and put in order for spring work,
when you will have no time for delay.

The xjaan who has the right conception of the big-
n^a of God is not going to plunge headlong into sin.
He may have the temptation. That can not be
helped. He will have that as long as he lives, but
with a proper conception of God, God all-mighty, all-
powerfid, everywhere, God, ever-present with him,
looking right into his heart and life and judging him
for his conduct, I say such a man will not plunge
headlong into sin. It is impossible for him to do it.

"Pa," asked Jolinny, "what does the
teacher mean by saying that I must have
inherited my bad temper?" "She meant
Johnny, that you are your mother's own
boy."
Final Test
Spongem — I say, old man, in case I
should die suddenly, will you make sure
that I am really dead before they bury
me?
Knox — Yes; you may depend on me.
I'll ask you to have a drink, and if you
don't sit up and take notice, I'll tell the
undertaker to go ahead and plant you.
Helping Hymen.
"So women hold office down here?" in-
terrogated the stranger at the rural
county seat.
"There's one in the clerk's office," re-
sponded the proud citizen.
"Has she proved any advantage to the
community ?"
"Well, I should say so. As soon as
she got in office she reduced the marriage
license fee from $1 to 99 cents and there
has been a rush ever since."
Sure to come round — the apple dump-
ling.
Conscience is the red flag that warns
us to avoid wrongdoing.
Trust a man to be good, and even if
he Is not, your trust may make him good.
Of all shares, plow shares are the most
reliable. They always turn out some-
thing.
She — What is your favorite kind of
meat, George?
He — To meet you, darling.
A fool and his wife are soon parted.
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating materials
for hotbeds, for which select situation protected by
a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress, gprafting
execute. Fruit trees and shrubbery transplant. Plant
early Potatoes. Spinach sow, also Radishes, Carrots,
Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cabbage plants from different
sowings, ft-ansplant lettuce plants. Peas plant— the
extra early is the best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage,
Tomato, Egg Plant, Lettuce, Radish, et«. Don't be
deterred in your operations for fear of loss by change
of temperature, but have at hand the means of pro-
tection against hard weather, or you will be behind
yotur enterprising neighbor.
FARMNOTES.
Meadows and Pastures will be greatly
benefited by passing a heavy harrow over
them in different directions and sowing
two bushels of fine lime dust and five of
ashes upon them, mixed. Grass seeds
may also be sown and pressed in the soil
with a heavy roller.
Plowing. — An important point in plow-
ing at this and in all seasons, is to know
just when to plow. If the soil' is too wet
it will dry in a hard mass unfit for the
proper growth of crops. The point is to
plow when the soil is friable, that is, will
crumble — fall away in detached particles
when turned by the plow.
Compost. — Manure is indispensable to
making good crops. Rake and scrape
from every available source all the en-
riching elements you can for your spring
crops and pile it in pens, say about ten
feet square and four or five feet high.
Pens are better than heaps, as more
moisture is preserved and a greater heat
generated, both of which are necessary to
decomposition.
Farm Implements. — ^All farm imple-
ments should now be put in order for
early spring work. If any arc needed
they should be purchased. The plow is
the most important implement on the
farm. It is not economy to use an im-
perfect one, and in purchasing great dis-
crimination should be exercised, as great
improvements have been made in their
draft and action upon the soil. A steel
or chilled plow of the best improved pat-
tern is more economical than the old
fashioned mould plow.

A n«wly-married man complains of the
high price of "ducks." He says his wife
recently paid for three of them — a duck
of a bonnet, a duck of a dress and a duck
of a. parasol. He says such "dealings in
poultry" will ruin him.
Wherein They Differ.
"What is the difference between a
honeycomb and a honeymoon?" asked the
originator of fool conundrums.
"Give it up," rejoined the dense party.
"Oome on with the answer."
"A honeycomb," explained the other,
"is composed of many little cells and a
honeymoon is one big sell."
A Bargain Sale.
Harry and William were conducting a
lemonade stand. Harry's bold sign read:
"Lemonade 5c. a glass." William's mod-
est announcement merely stated, "3c. a
glass."
A gentleman came along, read the
signs, and having an eye to the fact that
"a penny saved is a penny earned,"
bought a glass of William's lemonade.
After drinking it he inquired of William
why he sold his cheaper than his brother.
"Oh," explained William, "that's be-
cause mine's the lemonade the puppy
fell in."
Milk and Water.
A Scottish farmer one day called to a
farm lad: "Here, Tom, gang roon and
gee the coos a cabbage each, but min' ye
gie the biggest to the coo that gies the
raal&t milk."
The boy departed to do his bidding,
and on his return the farmer asked him
if he had done as he was told.
"Aye, maister," replied the lad. "I
gied 'em a cabbage each, and hung the
biggest een on the pump handle."
U takes more than an eye-opener to
make the toper see the error of his ways.
A man's ideal woman is the one he did
not marry.
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especially the large York. Fresh beds
of Asparagus, Artichokes, See Kale and Rhubarb, and
Strawberry set out, plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Corn; sow Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Ctt-
cumbers, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Peppe*,
at the close of the month. Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Top Dressing Grain Crops. — It is now
that we require rapid, vigorous growth
to send up strong spears from the tiller-
ing roots. A moderate dressing of some
active fertilizer, rich in ammonia, and
with a good supply of phosphoric "acid
for the needs of the grain, is precisely
what is needed.
Preparation for Corn. — As the great
work for next month will be planting
corn, the land must now be prepared for
it if not previously done. Plough thor-
oughly, having previously hauled out all
manures intended for this crop. If- the
supply is limited, reserve it to put in the
furrows as the corn is planted.
Winter Wheat and Rye. — These crops
are much improved by harrowing. If the
ground is dry the plants will not be
harmed, but the crust will be loosened,
earth will be drawn over plants that have
been heaved and the just starting weeds
will be killed. The Thomas harrow, bar-
ing light, slanting teeth, is admirable for
this work.
Salt for Sheep. — When sheep are turned
on to the grass, a daily allowance of salt
should be given. A teaspoonful for each
sheep is sufficient. The safest way to
give the salt is to provide a lump of rock
salt in a convenient sheltered place and
leave it so that the sheep can go to It
when they wish. Salt prevents indiges-
tion, greatly discourages parasites in the
intestines.
Manure from stables should be cleaned
out every morning and well composted fh
a pen near by with muck, top soil from
the wood or even common soil which is a
good absorbent.

To be king in the absolute sense in which Jesus
asks it, one must meet at least three demands. First,
he most believe in me even more than I can believe
in myself. Second, he must entirely and absolutely
satisfy my intellect; and third, he must by his devo-
tion and sacrifice win and hold my love. Jesus Christ
does an these things. — Selected.
No Limit
Grimner — She's a very progressive
yeung lady. She is going to enter the
field of journalism and start a paper.
G-ayer — Yes, and she is going to call it
"The Rumor." Don't you think that is
rather an unusual name?
Gunner — Not at all. When a rumor is
started by a woman it always gains a
wonderful circulation.
An Affair of Honor.
"Excuse me, ma'am," said the educated
hobo, "but would you favor a soldier in
the great army of the unemployed with a
square meal?"
"I will," replied the good woman, - "if
you don't mii^d earning a dollar by doing
a few odd jobs about the premises this
afternoon."
"Pardon me, ma'am," answered the e.
h., '^ut I am a man of honor and must
therefore decline to desert from the
arac^."
Her Kind of Hammock.
"I would like to look at some ham-
mocks, please," said the pretty girl who
was doing a shopping stunt.
"I'm afraid we haven't anything in
stock that will suit you," replied the
clerk.
"How do you know what would suit
me?" she asked in surprise.
"Oh!" explained the knowing salesman,
"a pretty girl always wants a hammock
that is only large enough for one and
strong enough for two."
Father — You can't have him! Daugh-
ter— Oh, papa, you once said you could
deny me nothing! Father— Well, he
comes as near being "nothing" as any-
thing I know of.
Garden Calendar for April.
If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peas, Pota-
toes, Beets, Com, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips, Oa-
cumbers. Squashes, Pumpkins, Radish, Tomato, Okra,
Carrots, Parsnips, Celery, Salsify, Pepper, Lettuce,
Egg Plant. Plants set out in February and March
will require culture. Sow Leeks for winter use.
Sow Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savoy
Cabbage for plants to be set out in June. Beans may
now be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head;
draw up earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed last
month should be hoed and thinned. Transplant
spring-sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect
fine heads. Citron and Watermelon plant, ^all
Onions set out in autumn will now be fit for use.
Asparagus is now in season; hoe beds to extenninate
weeds. Additional root crop maj"^ now be sown.
Transplant all kinds of perennial herbs. Remember
to keep down the weeds.
FARM IVOTES.
Manure. — Cart to the ground intended
for corn. If it is sod ground, all the bet-
ter, the sod will be made thicker and
more valuable as a fertilizer.
Planting. — It is of the highest impor-
tance to plant well. The land must be m
good tilth, for seeds do not germinate
well in turf and clods. A good harrow-
ing just before the crop is planted is
worth two workings in clod and turf after
it. It makes the surface smooth and
fine, and gives a loose bed for the seed
to grow in.
Water Melons. — Lay off your rows eight
by ten feet. At each intersection dig a
hole a foot deep, and eighteen inches in
diameter, which fill about two-thirds full
with thoroughly rotted and not very rich
manure, and cover with surface earth.
Plant three or four seed to the hill to
insure a stand, covering them very
lightly. Plant in this latitude about the
same time as cotton. •
Sweet Potatoes. — It pays well to thor-
oughly prepare the ground intended for
sweet potatoes by repeated plowings, so
as to get it into fine tilth. During the
latter part of the month some farmers
will have draws ready for transplanting.
Nothing is to be gained, however, by put-
ting out the plants before they have be-
come somewhat stalky and well-rooted in
the beds.
Time and tide wait for no man — But
time always stands still for a woman of
thirty.

Raf)hael in dying could not give his student his
skill, bis spirit and his wisdom. But Christ, who
died and rose again, breathes His Spirit into His dis-
ciples and accompanies them forevermore. Those who
d« not possess the life of Christ within them may-
exist, but they do not live. Life is that which is
added to existence by the direct vision of God and
by dkwct fellowship with Him. — Selected.
A Maid's Wisdom.
"Darling," pleaded the infatuated
yoB*li, "I would willingly die for you."
•Nothing doing," replied the practical
maid. "What I want is a man who is
wiliHig to live and earn a living for me."
Frank Confession.
Mob. Buttinski — Did you ever catch
your kusband flirting?
Mrs. DeSwift — Sure thing. That's how
I did «atch him.
A Shocking Mistake.
A young man wrote two letters but, in
addressing them, got them mixed. The
result was a shirt manufacturer in Grand
Rapids got a polite invitation to the Sousa
concert, while the young man's best girl
was made frantic by receiving the fol-
lowing: "Please send me a sample of
the stuff your shirts are made of."
Rattled.
Tir©«l Thomas — After givin' me sum-

Lazy Lewis — Wot did youse do?"
Tired Thomas — Nawthin'. I wuz so
ratUed I didn't know which way t' turn."
"An Easy One.''
A teacher was giving a lesson on the
ciroulation of the blood. Trying to make
the matter clearer he said: "Now,
boys, if I stood on my head the blood,

FARM NOTES.
Sweet Potatoes. — Sweet potato slips
should be put out. The ridges should be
made by throwing four furrows together
with an eight or ten inch plow, and fin-
ished up with a hoe, making broad par-
allel ridges.
Peas. — It is well to plant a portion of
the pea crop now. Let it be an early ra-
riety, that will mature and be ready Sor
gathering by the first of August. There
is comparative leisure then, and good, dry
weather — hence good, sound seed.
Harrest. — Look well ahead and make
arrangements to be ready for harvest.
See to it that it does not catch you i«
such a "push" that you will be obliged
to hire extra labor at extortionate rates.
Hire the extra labor, if necessary, in ad-
vance, and get your crop in good condi-
tion beforehand.
Manure. — See that the manure in the
yard is not washed by the rains. File aH
of it up neatly, and keep the sides squaw
and the top flat and dishing. If for want
of rain the top heats and becomes too
dry, turn it over. The labor will be weH
expended. Add in every possible way %•
its bulk and quality.
Groundpeas. — These should be kept
clean and dirt thrown up under the ad-
vancing branches. Loose soil for tfa«
young fruit stems to penetrate, Is tbe
point to be secured; dirt on the stems m
objectionable, though it is desirable for
the latter to be near the ground that tii«
fruit stems may penetrate it.

"Sometimes," said the lovelorn youth as
he gazed at the moon. "I feel as though
1 could live on kisses alone."
"How funny!" laughed the witty girl,
•What's funny?"
"Why, if you lived alone where would
you get the kisses?"

Wanted Ready Money.
A visitor at one of the public schools
noticed a little curly-headed boy in the
class. Going up to him, and putting his
band on his head, he said: "My son, you
are a bright little boy, and you have a
great future before you. Prom this
school presidents have been made.
Every one has an equal chance." The
little boy replied, "Mister, I will sell you
my chance for a quarter."
Was Empty, Too.
'Mamma, I's got a stomach ache," said
Nelly Bly, aged six. "That's because
you've been without lunch. Your stom-
ach is empty. You would feel better if
you had something in it."
That afternoon the minister called and
in the course of the conversation re-
marked that he had been suffering all day
with a very severe headache. "That's
because it's empty," said Nelly. "You'd
feel much better if you had something in
it.-

Garden Calendar for June.
j Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed. Summer
j Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
I matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots;
j transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons
I and Squashes may be planted for a succession, also
I Com. As herbs come into flower they should be cut
j and put into a shady place to dry. The chief labor
I of the garden had better be directed to what is al-
I ready in growth.
FAKM NOTES.
Waste Places may be utilized by plow-
ing and sowing them to some late crop.
Every acre and square rod should be
made useful in some way; every farm
has spots of this kind that could be made
profitable, instead of remaining a nursery
of weeds.
When to Harvest Hay. — The prevail-
ing practice is to cut timothy and red
top when in full bloom, red clover when
almost half the heads are in bloom and
small grass before it is ripe and generally
before blossoming if possible. So as to
prevent its becoming hard and wiry.
Pumpkins may be planted between the
hills of corn where the plow is not to run
again. They do the com no harm, it is
supposed, and they are always a paying
feed crop. The black squash bug will
damage them in some localities, but it is
not so likely to do so in the corn field as
in the open ground.
Peas and Sorghum. — An excellent for-
age combination crop is peas and sor-
ghum sown broadcast together. A half
bushel of sorghum seed and one bushel
peas per acre, on good land, will make
a very large amount of most excellent
forage. The upright stems of sorghum
hold the peas \ip and render the cutting
easy.
Sweet Potatoes. — Put out slips as fast
as they are ready. Never wait for rain
Grout the slips in a mush of clay and
cow dung, put them in a hole, partly fill
the latter with dirt, then add a gill of
water, and afterward fill with earth. If
done late in the afternoon very few will
die; but be sure to draw dirt to them
after the water is applied.

Almanac,
Should you wish to do business in Nurth Carolina, we suggest a certain
plan for so doing.
For nearly 75 years Turner-Enniss Almanac has been the "household
word" throughout the State. It is read annually by at least 100,000 peo-
ple and has a circulation greater than any dozerT publications in this State.
Its circulation reaches all classes. Only a limited number of choice adver-
tisements inserted.
We know that by using a medium that has reputation, circulation and
permanency you will get the best results. All advertisements are placed
next to reading matter. A number of advertisers have been using it con-
secutively for ten and fifteen years; this speaks more than anything else we
could say. If you desire to use it for 1910, engage space now. Try it and
be convinced.

You have to be Christ's soldier to see His cross

clouds. In the fiercest time of battle with tempta-
tion, it will wave above his fainting, fighting soul a
banner of fire.— Selected.

Got the Teacher.
A Kansas teacher was explaining to a
class in the first grade the damage done
to the fruit trees by worms, and that the
sparrows had increased so in hundreds
that they had become as bad as the
worms. Noticing that the boys were not
very attentive, she said to one of them:
'Tommy, which do you think are the
worse, the worms or the sparrows?" "I
don't know," said Tommy, "I never had
the sparrows."
Winning a Case.
This is one of our town lawyer's char-
acteristic negro stories. He does not say
whether or not he was the unfortunate
lawyer concerned, but, anyhow, a negro
employed a brilliant young limb of the
law to defend him on a charge of hog
stealing. The lawyer prepared the case
with great care, indulging in visions of
the reputation he would make by his bril-
liant defense of his client. When the
negro was arraigned the court asked:
"Are you the defendant in this case?"
"No, sah," said the negro, pointing to
the lawyer, "dat gen'man over dah de
defendant. I's the nigger what stole de
hogs.

needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Turnips
may be sown; transplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinach
may be sown toward the last of the month. Irish
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant Beans;
BOW Cabbage seed for Collards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; sow '^urnip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for winter use as they come into
flower.
FAEM NOTES.
Tobacco now needs careful working
that the grass may be destroyed and the
land left clean and porous.
Irish Potatoes.— Late potatoes should
be planted; whole seed make the best
crop. See directions for the crop under
Gardener's Department.
Corn Culture. — Keep the cultivators
going until the tassels begin to appear.
It should never have a weed or blade of
grass in it until it has begun to shoot and
tassel. Keep it clean and the soil stirred
eight days or oftener. Don't disturb the
roots in plowing.
Peas. — Push this crop to your utmost
capacity. Work well those already
planted and continue to plant all avail-
able land in early varieties. Where vines
for ploughing under, or hay is the object,
peas may be sown up to the middle of
August on rich land. No better prepara-
tion for a wheat crop than to sow down
now in peas, the land intended for it.
Ruta Bagas and Turnips.— Sow a few
ruta bagas and turnips toward latter part
of the month for an early fall crop. Tur-
nips should be planted on rich ground
only. Cowpening and breaking up every
ten days is admirable preparation. So is
broadcasting manure and plowing in, fol-
lowed by dragging and harrowing — then
cross plowing, dragging, etc., again. An
exceedingly fine tilth is also essential to
a good crop — hardly less so than manure.
A grey soil is best adapted to the turnip,
but it will grow on any, when treated as
above.

A Fairy Tale.
"I say mamma," said little Tommy, "do
fairy tales always begin with 'Once upon
a time?' "
"No, dear; not always," replied his
mother. "They sometimes begin with,
'My love, I have been detained at the
office again to-night.' "
A Boy's Discovery.
"I have discovered one fact in natural
history," said the smart hopeful of the
family.
"What is that, my son?" inquired the
proud father.
"That trees are about the only things
which can leave and stay around at the
same time."
Eepartee.
Professor Starr, the famous ethnologist,
was in his humorous and whimsical way
accusing woman of barbarism.
"And she is not only barbarous — she is
illogical and inconsistent!" he exclaimed.
"I was walking in the country one day
with a young woman. In a grove we came
upon a boy about to shin up a tree. There
was a nest in the tree, and from a certain
angle it was possible to see in it three
eggs.
" 'You wicked little boy,' said my com-
panion, 'are you going up there to rob
that nest?'
" 'I am,' the boy replied coolly.
'"How can you?' she exclaimed. 'Think
how the mother will grieve over the loss
of her eggs.'
" 'Oh, she won't care,' said the boy.
She's up there in your hat' "
That Bad Sherman Boy.
"Son, where have you been?"
"Been playing war, ma; and war is
hell."
"Didn't I tell you never to use that ex-
pression?"
"But Sherman said it, ma."
"Well, you stop playing with him. His
language isn't nice."
Garden Calendar for August*
Plant Peas and Beans, prepare ground for Turaips,
Spinach, Shallot, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early Dwarf and Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
Collard seed, earth up Celery, Brocoli and Cauli-
flower sow, and transplant from an early sowing.
Onion sets to stand winter. Carrots sow. Squashes
sow. Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for table nse at inter-
vals. Potatoes plant for winter- use. Lettuce drill
for heading; sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes
sow from time to time. Beets may be sown for
winter supply, but as the seed vegetate with diffi-
culty at this season, repeat until successful; cut sage
and other herbs, gather seed and prepare groimd for
late crops.
FARM NOTES.
Drainage and Ditching. — The present
month is a good time for attending to this
very important work.
Buckwheat may still make a crop of
grain if sown at once, and if intended for
turning under as a green manure it may
be sown at any time during the month.
Late Potatoes ought to be kept clean,
and the soil light. At the last working if
a mixture of salt and plaster (one bushel
of each to the acre,) is sown over them it
will pay for the trouble.
Weeds. — There is no better month to
destroy weeds and bushes than August.
Do not throw weeds into the public high-
ways as they may be blown or washed
upon your own or your neighbor's land.
Harrowing. — There is great advantage
in harrowing after plowing, as it more
thoroughly divides and pulverizes the soil.
The finer the soil the more readily the
roots of the plants spread out and obtain
their food.
Permanent Pastures. — These should be
well and deeply plowed, harrowed and
rolled, a sufficiency of good manure, and
the following mixture of seed sown to the
acre: 8 pounds Timothy, one-half bushel
Kentucky Blue Grass, one-half bushel
Orchard Grass, one peck Red Top, and
one quart of sweet scented Vernal Grass,
the whole thoroughly mixed and sowed in
two directions, lightly harrowed or
brushed in and rolled. In the spring Red
Clover Seed should be sown at the rate
i of a bushel to eight acres, and the ground
I again rolled.

If^ot in the Limb Class.
A little fellow, arriving late at school
one morning was asked by his teacher
what excuse he had. "Please, ma'am,"
said the boy, "there was an accident
down street. A lady ran over a dog with
her bicycle, and fell off and broke her
leg." "You shouldn't say 'leg,' Johnny,"
said the teacher. "You should say limb.' "
"Limb," answered Johnny, "limb! Gosh,
teacher, if you'd have seen this one
you'd have called it a twig."
Boy Has No Blue Blood.
Mrs. Caller — Mrs. Neurich is a peculiar

Mrs. Uppson— Indeed?
Mrs. Caller — Yes. Why, I really be-
lieve she thinks more of her dog than she
does of her little boy.
Mrs. Uppson — I don't doubt it. The
dog has a famous pedigree.
As Near as Me Dared.
A couple of city men were playing golf
when they saw an old gentleman looking
at them wistfully. They asked him to
join the game, which he did with alacrity.
He was mild in speech and manner and
played well. But once when he had made
a foozle he ejaculated vehemently the
word:
"Assouan!"
A few moments later, when he had
made another bad play, he repeated:
"Assouan!"
The fourth time he said this one of his
new made friends said:
"I do not want to be inquisitive, but
will you tell me why you say 'Assouan'
so often?"
"Well," said the old gentleman, "isn't
that the biggest dam in the world?"
He was a Presbyterian clergyman.
An Epitaph. — A statement that usually

Garden Calendar for September.
The work in the garden is again commenced in
earnest. Draw up earth to the Pea vines and stick
as they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may be
transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
FARM JfOTES.
Plowing for Wheat. — The sooner this is
done the better, and the more thorough
the greater will be the advantages in
every respect. Deep plowing largely in-
sures against winter killing, the escape
of superincumbent water being facilitated
by the loosening up of the soil. Do not
turn under too deeply, however, manures
for wheat.
In the rotation of crops wheat does bet-
ter upon fallow than upon cleanly culti-
vated land. Two hundred pounds of bone
dust, five bushels of salt and two hundred
pounds of superphosphate, rich in nitro-
gen and potash, make a good fertilizer
for wheat.
Time to Sow Wheat — Wheat is now
sown in nine months of the year in Eng-
land— from August to April. October and
November are the principal months for
this work. The advocates of thin seed-
ling prefer early sowing, while it is ad-
vantageous to sow thicker as the season
advances.
Sheep. — During the winter all sheep
should be well housed in covered sheds
opening into a yard. Cover the floor of
the shed with woods mould, decayed
leaves and rough litter of all kinds.
Sprinkle plaster over the surface occa-
sionally, and once a week add a fresh
covering of leaves or straw.
The summer work of most crops being
over, attention should now be given to
other farm matters.

Wisdom is won by the discipline of life as truly as
by the discipline of the schools, and many a young
college graduate has learned by bitter experience
that he cannot afford to despise the judgment of
men with less book learning but with gnreater life
wisdom. — Selected.
How a Woman Figures.
She had worked her leap year preroga-
tive, but he was trying to dodge the issue.
"I appreciate your proposal," he said,
"but you know my income is not suffi-
cient for two."
"Oh, that's all right," she replied.
'•When we are married we'll be one."
Desperate Bemedy.
"It says here," began the lady who
could do more talking in one day than
six phonographs and five parrots com-
bined, "that after a balloon has ascended
to the height of six miles its occupants
dare not open their mouths."
"Will you go up, Maria, if I buy a bal-
loon?" asked her husband desperately.
Accounted For.
"How is it," queried the fair maid,
"that at times you develop great mascu-
line energy and at other times display so
many womanly traits?"
"I suppose it is due to heredity," re-
plied the young man. "You see, half my
ancestors were men and the other half
women."
Tommy's Experience.
"My boy," said the good old minister,
" 'Ask and ye shall receive.' "
"I believe that," responded Tommy,
with a doleful sigh. "I asked if I could
go fishing instead of minding my kid
brother on Saturday afternoon."
"And did you receive?"
"You bet! I received the worst licking
I ever got in my life."
Time to Smoke Up.
He — I've money to burn.
She — Then I'm your match.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
The best illustrated paper — A bank
note.
Garden Calendar for October.
Beets planted last month cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe,
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant
small bulb onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress; Strawberries transplant. Take up Pota«
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and
frost; collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and
expose them to the winds and air on a dry bench be-
fore tl\ey are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Improvements. — Improvements that
need to be made, drains, clearings, etc.,
may now be done at reasonable cost, and
if any idle hands are around, they should
be set to work as far as possible.
Old Orchards. — This is a good time to
go over these and cut the dead branches;
scrape the moss and lichens from the
trunks, and whitewash the stems and
main limbs. This process will destroy
many insects and their eggs.
Planting Orchards. — Do not neglect this
work, the time for which is at hand.
Abundant fruit on a farm pays in the long
run and in immediate results. Do the
work thoroughly. Buy the trees from re-
liable nurserymen.
Rye ought to have been in, and where
not sown should go into the ground as
soon as possible. This crop is too often
left to shift for itself. A little good ferti-
lizer, or a more than usually liberal ap-
plication of home-made manure, will pay.
Stock,— Beef Cattle ought to be pushed
ahead as rapidly as possib!:^. Feed them
on old corn meal, and once in a while, a
mess of roots and pumpkins. Give Sheep
the best pasturage you can afford when
they are fattening. Milch Cows need, and
should have a little extra feed and care as
the pastures grow poor. A little hay at
night, and a moderate mess of meal and
bran will be repaid in their yield. Young
stock of every kind ought to begin the
winter in good condition, and a little ex-
tra care now will prevent their going
backwards, when it will be very hard to
get them back.

Christ was bom, and thereby forevermore glorified
motherhood; He grew and matured, thereby eter-
nally glorifying childhood; He studied and thereby
glorified knowledge; He worked, and in working
glorified toil; was maligned by His enemies, and in
this He glorified suffering; and died, and in dying
glorified sacrifice. — Selected.
A Sure Cure.
"The young man I am engaged to is
such a flatterer," said the girl with the
new solitaire.
"Well, don't let it worry you," rejoined
the young widow. "Marriage soon breaks
a man of that silly habit."
Perfectly TruthfuL
Said He — If I were to ask you your age
wotild you give me a truthful answer?
Said She — Indeed I would.
Said He — Well, how old are you?
Said She — None of your business.
Had Seen Service.
"But," said the fair maid, "you seem
rather young to be wearing the title of
colonel."
"Anyway," rejoined the beardless youth,
"I've participated in 17 summer engage-
ments."
Much Like Bain.
"Looks a bit like rain, ma'am," observed
the friendly milkman as he handed in his
morning pint.
"It does, indeed," replied the ready-
witted housekeeper with her gaze fixed on
the bottle.
Found a Belation.
An Irishman once boarded a train in
which every seat except one was occu-
pied by two people. This seat had as
occupants a young sport and a large,
shaggy dog. The Irishman stood by the
seat, expecting that room would be made
for him. The young man did not take
the hint, but regarded thj other, who was
poorly dressed, with ill-disguised scorn.
At last the Irishman remarked: "That's
a foine looking dog ye have with ye.
What breed is it?"
"It is a cross between a skunk and an
Irishman," was the sneering answer.
"Shure, then it's a relative of both of
UB," was the instant reply.
Garden Calendar for N^ovember.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow-
ing bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower
leaves of the Cabbages; the beds may then be covered
with straw, or a temporary shed erected over them.
Beets dig and store. CaiTots dig and store. Celery
earth-up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips
and Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a
good time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees
and shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for
transplanting evergreens.
FARM NOTES.
Ground for Oats and Potatoes. — Ground
should be fall-plowed and left ridged, so
that the cultivator or harrow may fit it
for seeding in the early spring. The
land for early potatoes should also be
ploughed and manured. Spread the ma-
nure upon the plowed ground and leave
until spring, then plow it under.
Milch Cows. — See that these are prop-
erly attended to, and that in addition to
dry fodder they are furnished with wet
food or slops in which meal or bran is
mixed with cut fodder, clover, or other
hay. They should be salted regularly,
and as the winter deepens may be sup-
plied with at least one meal a day of
roots.
Harrowing Wet Ground. — Avoid har-
rowing the ground when wet. It is also
of little benefit to work it when dried
hard. The best time is between the two,
when the ground will work up easily and
become mellow. Some soils require two
harrowings at a time to get the desired
effect. Use the harrow pretty freely
rather than sparingly. If the land is to
be stocked down sow the seed before the
last harrowing.
Fattening Pigs. — Fattening pigs should
be pushed on as rapidly as possible be-
fore the cold weather. A pound of fat
made now costs less than that made next
month, and that costs less than the same
made in January. Remember that cold
weather wastes fat. Feed occasionally
pulverized charcoal, keep them clean and
warm, keep their digestive organs in tone
and coax them to eat every ounce pos-
sible.

What value has Mammon placed on human life?
What cares the brewer or saloonkeeper how many
young and hopeful lives are blasted and sacrificed
at the altar of greed and gain? Who are the vic-
tims of intemperance? The yoimg, the beautiful,
the hopeful. Every drunkard was once an innocent
child.— Selected.
Bizby. Don't this hot, sticky weather
make you long for the cool days of au-
tumn?
Buzby. Yes; I always like to see time
fly in fly time.
Ifo Trust in It.
Biggs — ^Now there is talk of a sausage
trust.
Diggs — No danger of that. Any trust
in sausage would be impossible.
An Honest Prayer,
A child of three repeating the Lord's
prayer, insisted on varying the text by
saying, "Give us this day our daily
oranges." When rebuked and told he
must say bread, he said: "No, I have
plenty of bread. I want oranges."
Unusual Success.
Diggs — Windham thinks he has invent-
ed a successful flying machine.
Biggs — How far has he been able to
fly it?
Diggs — Oh, he hasn't tried it yet. That
is why he has invented a successful ma-
chine.
Dusty's Kick.
"Dese automobiles are a nuisance,"
growled Dusty Dennis, as he frowned at
a passing touring car.
"What's de matter, pard?" asked Gritty
George. "One of dem run you down?"
"No, but last night dey put me in a
cell wid a chauffeur and I couldn't sleep
for de smell of gasoline."
Complimentary.
"It is going to be war to the knife,"
declared the suburban man who was feed-
ing his chickens.
"What now?" asked the friend.
"Why, Binker sent me a box of axle
grease and told me to use it on my lawn
mower.' "
"What did you do?"
"I sent it back and told him to use it
on his daughter's voice."
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open the ground may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish and Salads
sow in frames; also Lettuce. Ti-ansplanting trees
may still be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc.
Transplant all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown
in October will be fit to put out. Sow large York
to head in January and February. Small Onions may
still be planted. Earth-up Celery in dry weather.
Thin Spinach as you collect for daily \ise.
FARM NOTES.
Feeding Stock. — Stock should be well
fed at this season. Do not spare feed, but
do not waste any. It is easier to keep
flesh on animals now than to put it on
in March.
Hiring Hands. — It is better to make
your engagement for hands now for an-
other year, if possible, than to wait until
next month. As far as it may be con-
venient, make^,all arrangements for the
ensuing year.
Slaughtering Pigs. — It is much better
to kill early than late. As soon as cold
weather comes on, pigs will gain very lit-
tle, if any, and often lose during cold
storms. Therefore, crowd them if not fat
enough to kill.
Hauling out Manure.-t-Manure in good
condition should be hauled to the fields.
It saves time and labor in the spring sea-
son when the soil is soft and wet. An-
other advantage is that the rains wash it
into the soil where it is needed.
Shelter for Stock.— As a general thing
our farmers are too indifferent to proper
shelter for stock during the winter
months. Warm, comfortable stabling
saves feed, helps fattening and prevents
sickness among live stock, and this
should prompt every farmer to provide
good quarters.
Clean Stables.— The practice of leaving
manure in stables until several feet deep
is highly objectionable. A filthy stable is
a source of disease. Therefore keep the
stable clean. Clean out the manure every
morning and put fresh leaves, straw, saw-
dust or other material for bedding daily.

ASTRONOMICAL.
What the Stars Are. The spectroscope
shows us that the physical nature of the
Stars is, in general, like that of our own
Sun. In other words, the Stars are suns
quite similar in constitution to our own.
Many of them are enormously larger and
hotter than our Sun, others are smaller
and not so hot, while others still are only
faintly luminous.
The Constellations. The ancients
grouped the visible stars into Constella-
tions. Many of these took their names
from Greek and Roman mythology by
reason of their fancied resemblance to
gods, heroes and animals. The Constel-
lations of the Zodiac and some of those
near the North Pole are, however, pre-
historic in their origin. A few Constella-
tions have been added in more recent
times to make the system more complete
and to incorporate stars not contained in
the older groups, so that there are now
nearly seventy Constellations in all.
The Names of the Stars. About sixty
of the stars have names derived mainly
from the Greek, Roman or Arabic, and
some, from the position of the star in the
Constellation. Thus we have Sirius, Arc-
turus, Capella, etc. These names still re-
main but a better method was devised by
Bayer, the German astronomer, about the
year 1600. By this method the brightest
star in a Constellation was general^
called Alpha, the first letter of the Greek
alphabet; the next brightest Beta, and
so on, through the letters of that Alpha-
bet in their order. Thus Sirius was
Alpha Canis Majoris and Capella, Alpha
Aurigae.
Total Light of the Stars. From inves-
tigation and measurement, it is found that
the total amount of starlight in the north-
ern Heavens is about equal to the com-
bined light of 1,500 first magnitude stars.
On this basis the total amount of star-
light in the whole Heavens on a clear
night as received by the Earth, is about
one-sixtieth the light of the Full Moon,
and about one-thirty three millionth that
received from the Sun.
Size of the Stars. If the Stars were
not so distant that their diameters dwin-
dle to a point, their size could be deter-
mined directly. Many of them, however,
are known to be much larger than the
Sun. In the case of the variable star
Algol, the diameter, and ?o the size, have
been approximately determined by special
methods. This star has been found to
have a diameter of over 1,000,000 miles
which would make iU volume nearly
twice that of our own Sun. Its density,
however, is much less.

fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more frost or wet weather may be
expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These
observations refer principally to the Summer, though they aflTect Spring and Autumn nearly in the
same ratio.
5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours
i. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, ae Is
noted in the table.

Plowing of sod land, of all wet, weedy
and heavy soils in the fall, exposes them
to the beneficial disintegrating action of
the frosts, causes the sods, weeds, etc., to
decay, and destroys many insects and in-
sect's eggs by thorough freezing and
thawing. In the light of these facts, the
question as to the value of fall plowing
answers itself.

BETURN OF HALLET'S COMET.
Wliat can appeal more powerfully to
the imagination than a comet which
blazes over the earth for a few months
and then fades away in the depths of
space to remain invisible for three-quar-
ters of a century, and to come back again
in Its appointed season and flare across
the sky to the amazement of all onlookers
and to the terror of millions? Such a
comet is Halley's, which is now, after an
absence that has already extended to
seventy-five years, rapidly drawing near.
Halley's comet has no rival in all the
long list of such bodies, for there is no
other that goes so far away, and yet with
certainty comes back again. And it is
truly a great comet, a comet that more
than once in the days of ignorance and
superstition scared the world with its
portentious plume of celestial fire. Some-
times it has displayed a tail fifty degrees
in length, long enough to reach from the
horizon almost to a point overhead.
Every day the comet's pace is accele-
rating and the astronomer can tell you
how much. He can tell you when its
speed was three miles per second, and
when it will become thirty miles per sec-
ond. In January next, he says, it will be,
as near as Jupiter, but it will still be use-
Iviss to look for it. In October, 1909, it
will be three hundred million miles away,
and then some great telescope, furnished
with an extra-sensitive photographic plate
to serve as a retina, may catch its image.
But in May, 1910, we shall all see it with-
out effort and wonder at its mysterious
beauty.
PRACTICAL AIND USEFUL.
Soaking timber in lime water is recom-
mended for preserving it from dry rot and
the effects of the weather.
Common hydraulic cement mixed with
oil forms a good paint for roofs and out-
buildings. It is waterproof and incom-
bustible.
Rapid drying of paint is insured by the
addition of a small proportion of litharge,
sugar of lead or Japan varnish, according
to material or color.
"To keep a gun from rusting, clean the
barrel occasionally and cover the exposed
portion of the metal with a film of linseed
oil. For lubricating the lock purified
olive or sperm oil is best."
Leather belts used with the grain side
to the pulley will never crack, as the
strain in passing it is thrown on the flesh
side, which is not liable to crack or break,
the grain not being strained any more
than other portions of the belt.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED
EULES FOR FORETELLIIVG THE
WEATHER.
Adapted for Use with Aneroid Barometers.
A Rising Barometer.
A rapid rise indicates unsettled weather.
A gradual rise indicates settled weather.
A rise with dry air and cold increasing
in Summer indicates wind from the north-
ward; and if rain has fallen, better
weather may be expected.
A rise with moist air and a low temper-
ature indicates wind and rain from the
northward.
A rise with southerly winds indicates
fine weather.
A Steady Barometer.
With dry air and seasonable tempera-
ture indicates a continuance of very fine
weather.
A Falling Barometer.
A rapid fall indicates stormy weather.
A rapid fall with westerly wind indi-
cates stormy weather from the northward.
A fall with a northerly wind indicates
storm, with rain and hail in Summer, and
snow in Winter.
A fall with increased moisture in the
air, and heat increasing, indicates wind
and rain from the southward.
A fall with dry air and cold increasing
in Winter indicates snow.
A fall after very calm and warm
weather indicates rain with squally
weather.
The barometer rises for northerly
winds, including from northwest by north
to the eastward for dry, or less wet
weather, for less wind, or for more than
one of these changes, except on a few
occasions, when rain, hail, or snow comes
from the northward with strong wind.
The barometer falls for southerly wind,
including from southeast by south to the
westward, for wet weather, for stronger
wind or for more than one of these
changes, except on a few occasions, when
moderate wind, with rain or snow, comes
from the northward.
Meadows and Young Cloven^Do not
suffer heavy stock to run on either the
young clover or the meadows, as they
will injure them by trampling and cutting
up the grass, the ground being soft from
rains. In wet weather no young stock or
sheep should be allowed to run on any
grass land except the one that is to be
cultivated next year.
Drains. — Much may be done in clean-
ing out drains, and in some sections in
making drains. When the spring rains
arrive, or the ground is full of water,
draining can not be done to advantage.

HOW TO CURE EHEUMATISM.
The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils
and Liniments will not cure; affords
only temporary relief at best; causes you
to delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get a firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fiber of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
fect and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases, it has effected the most marvelous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide "gets at the joints from the in-
side," sweeps the poisons out of the sys-
tem, tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you well all
over. Rheumacide "strikes the root of
the disease and removes its cause." This
splendid remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at 50c. and $1 a bottle.

EYERTDAT PHILOSOPHY.
Should a man be judged according to
his faith. Now-a-days it seems that doubt-
ing is the beginning of wisdom.
The minister who said to the steward,
"while I raise hell for the sinners, you
bulge ahead and raise my salary," may
have been using too much slang, but the
talk was effective, nevertheless.
Those who work in secret and silence
have views and aims that fear the light.
People who delight in titles must take
pleasure in feeling better than their hon-
est neighbors.
Sunday religion and Sunday clothes are
all right, if we can afford to wear them
every day.
Some people make up for their lack of
greatness with a superabundance of down
right meanness.
The reason why so many prominent
men don't denounce the political leaders
of the country is — well, because nobody
would believe them.
In my youth I had devils, witches and
ghosts for company. I sbw them all with
the sword of common sense.
Men have lied to the world for a liv-
ing, and lived a lie to make the world
more liberal towards the liar.
Youth is heated with ambition and pas-
sion, old age is cooled by experience and
the chill of dead hopes.
When men lose their jobs they often
lose health, hope and happiness. It should
be part of our religion to see that every
willing worker has a job.
The temptations that we meet and fail
to conquer, are human, the same as we
are.
"Getting nearer to God" is practiced by
some people to get nearer to other peo-
ple's money.
Some people never seem to worry about
the future. They will spend their last
half dollar to see a circus, and buy a sack
of flour on tick.
Brutalized competition between men
makes the Christian religion impossible.
If we are our brother's keeper we should
cooperate with him in work as well as
in prayer.
The public doesn't seem to have any
more use for honest public men. The
very fact that a man goes out seeking
public oflice, is evidence that he is a con-
scious grafter getting into the channels
of graft.
Many a man who is called an anarchist
is simply an honest man sick of official
corruption.
Man is not a grub or caterpillar, to do
nothing but eat and gorge himself — man
was intended to work for others.
I have always doubted that men are
inspired to do their neighbor, either right
or wrong. We are taught right from
wrong. We are creatures of education,
not spontaneous dreams.
This talk about a "devil laughing out
loud" is ridiculous. Anything that can
laugh out loud must see the ridiculous
in the very idea of a devil.
There is no magic or legerdemain in
nature, and nature is just about the name
for everything we know.
When the banks lack sufficient funds
to meet their obligations to the people,
they excuse the situation by saying the
people lack confidence.
Rats may leave a sinking ship, but the
brave crew sticks to it until all the pas-
sengers are saved. Those men are rats
who desert a reform idea before the vic-
tims are rescued.
When a man wakes up to find that he
loves humanity, he has got all that Is
good in religion.
There is nothing divine about the man
but his thoughts, and sometimes these are
not worth a sour apple.

what Uiey don't say.
The experience a man buys is always
delivered a little too late.
Instead of regretting yesterday get busy
and do something to-day.
The only harmless fools are those in
the hands of the undertaker.
Some men get out of practice because
they spend all their time preaching.
When misery is at hand there isn't
much pleasure in remembering former
joys.
Many a man's run-down reputation is
due to his fondness for running up bills.
Many a big sorrow is born of a little
sin.
Greater work is the best reward for
good work.
Character depends more on conscience
than on creed.
T^aws always depend more on our es-
sential valuation of life.
Religion is not to bind back, but to
bind together all men.
He who sells out his friends lays his
own soul on the bargain counter.
The god who can be expressed in fig-
ures is only a figurative god after all.
Bnvy is the habit of extracting our own
misery out of the happiness of others.
The golden heart does not have the
fftCA.

The divine is not discovered by defini-
tion.
Virtue is the moral fiber that comes
from soul struggle.
It's always easier to sing about heaven
than to serve earth.
Every great public victory haa many a
private struggle behind it.

HEN FARMING IS THE IVIOST PROFITABLE OF ALL FARMING
FEED FOR MORE ECGS
Almost every poultry keeper has a favorite ration
to make his hens lay. Graia contains only a part of
the egg-making materials, but Rust's Egg Producer
contains the rest and in just the right proportions. Mix
it with the regular feed and you will greatly increase
the egg yield.
RUST'S EGG PRODUCER
is highly concentrated, and far ahead of anything as
an egg-maker. Less than 12 cents worth per week will
supply 30 hens. Prices 14c to 25c per lb. Sold by dealers
everywhere. Every poultry-keeper should have Bust's
Egg Record and useful booklet on Poultry and
Stock-keeping. Both mailed free on request.

FAEM JVOTES.
Corn Fodder. — ^Well-cured corn fodder
has a feeding value almost equal to hay,
and yet this fact is only appreciated by a
few farmers. Cut up fine — butts and all
— and feed with bran and corn meal, it is
first-rate provender; nor should it be for-
gotten that the butts are the best part.
Young Stock. — As the change of feed
comes on, care must be exercised in re-
gard to young animals. It is best to
turn them on to grass for an hour or two'
daily, before the pasture becomes full.
Well conditioned yearlings are in more
danger than poorer ones, and with them
greater care should be taken.
v;alves should have a run in a good
piece of grass. The value of a cow de-
pends so much upon the first year's
growth, that the calf should have the best
of feed, that the mature animal may be
the most profitable.
Fall Plowing. — ^While hand work
presses, it would be wise to hire extra
help to keep the teams at work, plowing
stubbles, drawing out and spreading ma-
nure on the sod intended for the corn,
hauling swamp muck and doing other
necessary work.
Meadows to be set in August ought to
be made ready by thorough and deep
plowing and frequent harrowings, that
the finest tilth of soil possible may be se-
cured. An application of say twenty
bushels of ashes, two of salt and a hun-
dred and fifty pounds of bone dust to the
acre will prove effective on soils of even
medium crop producing capacity. Where
timothy is sown alone, a peck to a peck
and a half of seed will do for an acre.
The better the soil is prepared the less
seed is required.
Rye. — This crop is sown by many in
September. For cutting green for early
feeding, or for fall or spring pasturing, it
is better to sow early and make successive
sowings. For these purposes two bushels
of seed to the acre is not too much, and
for a crop of grain one bushel is not too
little. A soil that is too light for wheat
will often give paying crops of rye, but
the land ought to be in good tilth. Fre-
quently, indeed, as a rule, the straw of
rye brings as much as the grain, where a
city market is convenient, and thus often
makes it more profitable than wheat.
When rye is to be cut green for stock the
land ought to be made rich, the yield is
larger and it comes earlier.

PROOFING
If you had a sample of
Aaaatite in your hand you
would see in an instant why
it needs no painting or coat-
ing to keep it waterproof.
It has a rough surface of
REAL MINERAL MATTEK OU the
weather side. It is evident
to anyone that it is no more
necessary to paint 'such a
surface than it is necessary
to paint a stone wall. Stone
needs no paint; neither does
ikjnatite. It is stong enough in itself to bear the brunt of rain
without a protective coat oi paint.
To paint Amatite would be a waste of time and trouble.
Amatite will last for many years without any care whatever
^ TKOUBLE PROOF aS Well aS WEATHER PROOF. ^
§ A roofing that consists of smooth materials, made to receive a heavy^cj)ating of g
^ paint, is not a roofing at all — the paint is the real roof. / :'"-^i^ §
g If you are told that certain roofings don't need painting when first laid, don't be )j^
§ deceived into thinking that they are like Amatite. The first coat of paint has been g
stf applied at the factory— that's all, and it will wear ofi" in a little while and require g
^ renewal. ^
g No paint is good enough to make a durable roof; a thick layer of pitch, faced with g

SAIVITATIOX.
Durmg warm weather housewives must
be ever on the alert to combat the many
evils which arise from poor sanitation.
Lack of sanitation about the home brings
death to the family door. The Invisible
and deadly bacteria must be fought by
vigorous measures.
The war against mosquitos, a certain
kind of which carry the deadly fever
germs, is going on all over the world.
They breed in rain barrels, tanks, small
ponds, and stagnant pools. Watch them.
Cover the rain barrel with mosquito net-
ting, or sprinkle kerosene oil over the
surface every two or three weeks. This
does not penetrate the depths of the wa-
ter or spoil it for practical use. Keep
the windows covered with screening.
Flies carry disease germs on their legs
and hairy bodies, and inoculate the food
which they eat. Keep the premises clean
so they do not congregate, and don't let
them get into the house or near the food.
Sticky fly-paper in light places, together
with screening the windows and doors,
will exclude many.
The manure pile is one of the worst
breeding places of flies. If not possible
to keep it under a closed shed well venti-
lated with screened windows, it should
DC removed to the garden every week.
If this is not practicable, it should be
"turned over" frequently with a fork, or
treated with chloride of lime.
Watch the drains and sink holes and
keep them scalded thoroughly with strong
lye-water every week. Don't throw dish
or wash-water about the premises. It
breeds disease. Burn or have carted
away all waste matter which would at-
tract flies, or emit an evil odor. Keep the
premises sweet and clean and lessen the
danger of sickness.
Through Foreign Eyes.
Two foreigners were watching their
first game of baseball.
"Dot vas a dangerous game, yah?" said
the German.
"Eet must be, monsieur," replied the
Frenchman. "Why, even ze catcher wears
a muzzle to keep him fr«ni biting people."

STAR DOTS.
Distances of the Stars. The distances
of the Stars are so enormous that it is
very difficult to determine them exactly.
The parallax by wich the distance is de-
termined, has, however, been measured
for a few of the brighter stars, subject
to a small percentage of error. As a re-
sult it is found that in the case of Alpha
Centauri which we know is the one near-
est us, it would take light traveling at
the rate of 86,000 miles a second, about
4% years to reach the Earth from this
star, in the case of Sirius, about 8%
years, and in that of Vega, which passes
near our zenith, about 20 years.
Light emitted by certain Stars. The
actual amount of light sent out by some
of the brighter stars, though not all of
it is received by us, of course, has also
been made the subject of investigation.
It is found, for instance, that Sirius emits,
approximately, about 40 times and the
Pole Star about 70 times, as much light
as the Sun, the latter star, however,
seeming th3 fainter of the two to the eye,
merely from its greater distance.
EASTEE.
Easter is always the first Sunday after
the full moon which happens on or next
after the 21st of March, and if the full
moon happens on a Sunday, Easter Day is
the Sunday after. This is a movable fes-
tival, because it depends for its occur-
rence upon the movements of the moon.
Easter is celebrated by Christians, in imi-
tation of the Jewish Passover, about of
the full moon. Easter was first instituted
about the year 68 A. D. Owing to dispute
among the early Christians as to the time
of its celebration, as the anniversary of
our Saviour's resurrection, the Council of
Nice, Asia Minor, in A. D. 325, established
the rule given above for determining
Easter.
CERTAIN SYMPTOMS.
"Bill," said the farmer's boy in an awed
whisper. "Jim has washed his face twice
this morning."
"Do tell!" ejaculated his lanky brother.
"Well, visitors must be coming."
"And he has put on a new shirt and a
clean collar!"
"Jumping June bugs! Why, he must
be going to a picnic!"
"And his shoes are blacked and every
time you get near him you can smell hair
oil."
"Then that settles it. Bill has got' a
gal. Tell ma she can soon prepare for a
new daughter-in-law. Never knew them
thar symptoms to fail."
ACCORDIIVG TO THE BIBLE.
A small boy had been found in mischief
while his father was saying the blessing
at the table. He was told hereafter he
must sit at a table by himself and say a
blessing to God, for being naughty. The
next meal, the father listened to what
the boy would say. He said : "Dear
Lord, Thou preparest a table for me in
the presence of my enemies."
What is the difference between a fool
and a looking glass? The fool speaks
without reflecting and the looking glass
reflects without speaking.
Soap, long deferred, maketh the dirt
stick.

IMMIGEATION.
In the last 40 years 1,769,729 persons
have come to this country from England
and Wales. Add the Scotch, 390,432, and
2,040,291 have come to the United States
from Great Britain in 30 years. This is
more than have come from Ireland in the
same time, twice as many as have come
from Sweden, four times as many as have
eome from Norway, and more than have
eome from Poland and Russia put to-
gether.
FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The total foreign commerce of the
United States during 1907 amounted to
$3,652,840,939. This is at the rate of $10,-
000,000 a day. The inland commerce of
the United States last year probably
amounted to at least $25,000,000,000,
which is at the rate of $68,000,000 a day.
The inland commerce is therefore nearly
seven times as great as the foreign com-
merce.

LAEGEST FAEM IN THE WOELD.
It is said that the largest farm in the
world is that of Don Luis Terrazas, of
Chihuahua, Mexico, on which 4,000 people
live. The farm has on it 1,000,000 cattle,
1,000 horses, 700,000 calves. More than
1,000 cowboys are needed to look after his
herds. He has a slaughter house of his
own near Chihuahua City, at which more
than 25,000 head of cattle and as many
more sheep and hogs are slaughtered
every year. He owns his own refrigera-
tor cars, in which his packed meats are
shipped all over the republic, and more
than half a day is required for a railway
train to cross th« farm.
WOELD'S TELEGEAPH SYSTEMS.
According to a detailed report on the
world's telegraph systems issued by the
Berlin International Bureau of Postal
Statistics, the United States is easily first
as regards length of lines, the total being
1,160,965 miles, or about three times as
much as Great Britain or France, which
have 386,353 and 391,275 miles of wire, re-
spectively. Germany has the largest tele-
graph system in Europe, 461,036 miles.
Russia, with Siberia included, has only
402,371 miles of wire.
As regards the number of telegrams
handled for the year. Great Britain heads
the list with nearly 94,000,000 messages,
the United States coming next with 65,-
500,000. France stands third with nearly
58,000,000, and Germany fourth with 52,-
500,000 messages.
The United States is again first with
regard to revenue derived from the tele-
graphs,' $29,000,000, while the Russian
treasury benefited $20,600,000, with Great
Britain drawing $15,800,000, Germany,
$8,600,000, and France $7,000,000 for th«
year.
Linen Still Missing.
"Bridget," said the mistress of the
house, "some of the bed linen is missing.
Was any of it left on the line?"
"Mother," cried her little daughter, "I
know where it is. Father's got it."
"What do you mean, child," said tke
other.
"I heard some of the neighbors say,
this morning, that they saw father last
night with three sheets in the wind."

TO ASCEETAIN THE LENGTH OF THE
DAY AWD MGHT.
At any time of the year, add 12 hours
to the time of the Sun's setting, and from
the Sun subtract the time of rising, for
ttie length of the day. Subtract the time
of setting from 12 hours, and to the re-
mainder add the time of rising next morn-
ing, for the length of the night. These
rules are equally true for apparent time.

PEOPLE OF THE EARTH.
The population of the world is now esti-
mated to be about 1,503,000,000. Of this
number 150,000,000 are black, 600,000,000
yellow and 750,000,000 white.
DRY WEATHER GARDEIVING.
During the hottest part of the summer,
when the sun is scorching and there is
little rain, roses, gladioli, dahlias, hydran-
geas, and other showy plants suffer
greatly if not properly cared for.
The first thing to do is to keep the
ground well broken about the plants; to
conserve the moisture which is already in
the ground. The watering in dry weather
should be done in the evening. Some peo-
ple turn a steady stream upon the plants,
which is not good. A sprinkling can, or
hose sprinkler, should be used, as a
stream of water forced upon a hard sur-
face causes the ground to bake and be-
come of the texture of hard clay. It is
best to stir the surface and then sprinkle
generously.
One of the best ways to keep plants
moist in summer is to mulch. The soil
should be broken and a thin layer of
straw or grass clippings placed upon it.

WHY THE NEEDLE POIMS TO THE
XOETH.
The reason why the needle points in the
northerly direction is that the earth in it-
self is a magnet, attracting the magnetic
needle as the ordinary magnets do; and
the earth is a magnet as the result of
certain cosmical facts, much affected by
the action of the sun. These laws have
periodicities, all of which have not as
yet been determined.
A condensed explanation in regard to
the needle pointing to the northward and
southward is as follows: The magnetic
poles of the earth do not coincide with the
geographical poles. The axis of rotation
makes an angle of about 23° with a line
joining the former.
The northern magnetic pole is at pres-
ent near the arctic circle on the meridian
of Omaha. Hence the needle does not
everywhere point to the astronomical
north, and is constantly variable within
certain limits. At San Francisco it points
about 17° to the east of north, and at
Calais, Maine, as much to the west.
At the northern magnetic pole a bal-
anced needle points with its north end
iownwards in a plumb line: at San Fran-
cisco it dips about 63°, and at the south-
em magnetic pole the south end points
directly down.
The action of the earth upon a magnetic
needle at its surface is of about the same
force as that of a hard steel magnet forty
inches long, strongly magnetized, at a
distance of one foot.
The foregoing is the accepted explana-
tion of the fact that the needle points to
the northward and southward. Of course
no ultimate reason can be given for this
natural fact any more than for any other
observed fact in nature.
BUTTEEIOLK PROMOTES LO>'GETITT.
Any one who has an oportunity to get
plenty of freshly churned buttermilk
should drink as much of it as possible.
Buttermilk is excellent for the system.
Its action upon the blood vessels keeps
them free from decay, and thus promotes
long life. It is a very good thing for the
person who is troubled with rheumatism
or gout. One using the buttermilk tonic,
should drink not less than a quart every
day.

months total $23,127,762. Illinois leads
every State in the Union with $3,160,209.-
03 for endowment and $1,788,518 for

of all proportion to that of other States,
exists because of the gift of $4,371,220.87

THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHEEE.
The earth's sensible atmosphere is gen-
erally supposed to extend some forty
miles in height, probably farther, but be-
coming at only a few miles from the sur-
face of too great a tenuity to support life.
The conditions and motions of this aerial
ocean play a most important part in the
determination of climate, modifying, by
absorbing, the otherwise intense heat of
the sun, and, when laden with clouds, hin-
dering the earth from radiating its ac-
quired heat into space. — ^Whitaker.
PREPARE TO MAKE MONEY AT HOME.
The farmer's wife who likes to make
spending money should try selling canned
goods, made from the farm products. De-
licious strawberry preserves would bring
a good price from city folks in the winter,
as would also berries, jellies, and various
kinds of canned fruits and vegetables.
The writer knows of a woman who made
a big profit by peddling her canned fruit
from door to door in the city. She al-
ways took samples for the housekeepers
to taste, and got many a sale in this way.

THE FAIR SEX.
The average woman is a good actress
off the stage.
It's as hard for women to keep money
as secrets.
Nothing melts a dignified girl like an
unexpected kiss.
Ever notice how gracefully the average
woman doesn't eat?
When gossip meets gossip, then comes
the wagging of tongues.
A woman isn't necessarily industrious
because she has a busy tongue.
Most girls are aware that big bows on
their shoes make their feet look smaller.
The most changeable thing in the world
is a woman. The next is another woman.
Success is apt to come to those who
count every cent and make every cent
count.
Next to having a good complexion a
woman would like to have a good hus-
band.
Nothing pleases a girl more than her
ability to keep some man away from a de-
signing widow.
If jumping at conclusions came under
the head of physical exercise most women
would be athletes.
Why it flatters a woman to be told that
she looks like an actress is more than a
mere man can understand.

WEATHER WISDOM.
SUNSET COLOES.— A gray, lowering
sunset, or one where the sky is green or
yellowish-green, indicates rain. A red
s^mrise, with clouds lowering later in the
morning, also indicates rain.
HALO (SUN DOGS).— By halo we mean
the large circles, or parts of circles, about
the sun or moon. A halo occurring after
fine weather indicates a storm.
COBONA. — By this term we mean the
small colored circles frequently seen
around the sun or moon. A corona grow-
ing smaller indicates rain; growing
larger, fair weather.
RAINBOWS. — A morning rainbow is re-
garded as a sign of rain; an evening
rainbow of fair weather.
SKY COLOR.— A deep-blue color of the
sky, even when seen through clouds, in-
dicates fair weather, a growing white-
ness, an approaching storm.
FOGS. — Fogs indicate settled weather.
A morning fog usually breaks away before
noon.
VISIBILITY.— Unusual clearness of the
atmosphere, unusual brightness or twink-
ling of the stars, indicate rain.
FROST.— The first frost and last frost
are usually preceded by a temperature
very much above the mean.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
A good rubbing with pumice or with
lemon juice will remove ink spots from
the hands. '
Spots of cream or milk may be removed
from table linen by lightly touching them
with ammonia and ironing over blotting
paper.
Save the soot from the stoves and use
a weak solution of it for watering plants.
Mend lace curtains by pasting on pieces
of net with thick starch and a hot iron.
Cayenne pepper sprinkled on winter
clothes will keep out the moth. So will
tansy leaves.
Sift the top of a cake with flour, before
icing, to keep icing from running over the
sides.
Hold an iron rust spot over steam and
rub with salts of lemon. Rinse carefully.
Paint heart never won fair lady — but a
full purse can always pull the trick.
Do not sow wild oats unless you wish
to reap that kind of a harvest.

I TUENEE-EI^NISS ISTOKTH CAKOLI^sTA ALMANAC.
Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1909 for the year 1910, by The Enniss Publishing Company,
in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
Jm^- Note.— This Almanac bears the name of TURNER-ENNISS N. C. ALMANAC, in honor of the late Henry >
D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it in the year 1838, and'
Mr. James. H. Enniss, who succeeded Mr. Turner in 1867, in the publication of the Almanac, and under his admin-
istration was issued regularly until his death in May, 1900. Since that time the Almanac has been issued under
the name of the Enniss Publishing Co., by Pinck. C. Enniss.
EXPLANATIOIVS AJO) REMARKS.
The calculations of this Almanac, except for the prediction.^ of the Tides are made in mean solar time. This is
the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree with the sun on four days of the
year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1 and December 24. On all other days in the year the sun will come to the
meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this difference called Equation of Time, is given for each day in
the column marked "sun fast" or "sun slow."
The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the time now in
general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by 14 minutes 32.4 seconds,
and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.
All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being in latitude
35° 46' 5", and longitude 78° 38' 6.1"; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutes for any part of
North Carolina and the adjacent States.
RISING A^B SETTING OF THE SUN.
The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is incorrect. Dur-
ing some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and declination, that it makes a mate-
rial change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given have been rigorously calculated and compared
with the best authority, and are true to the nearest whole minute.

TIDES.
Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corresponding inter-
nals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of the next corresponding tide can be
ound approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tide already found. In this almanac the tides for
5outhport, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and have been derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey.

There is a God who made me, to whope gift I owe all
the powers and faculties ofmy soul, to whose providence
I owe all the blessings of my life, and by whose permis-
sion it is that I exercise and enjoy them; that I am
placed in this world as a creature but of a day. hasten-
ing to the place from whence I shall not return. — Selec-
ted.
Getting at the Facts.
"Say, paw," queried small Tommy Tod-
dles, who was perusing a book of prov-
erbs, "is it true that barking dogs do not
bite?"
"I never knew one to bite while he was
barking," answered Toddles, Sr.
Bombarded.
"Ah, my man," said the good old parson,
you should always be 'looking up.' "
"Not me, parson," responded the farmer
with much emphasis. "Not with all these
here chaps in airships and balloons
throwing over sand and cigar stubs."
Sometimes.
"It is always the unexpected that hap-
pens," quoted the moralizer.
"Oh, I don't know," rejoined the de-
moralizer. "The expected happens often
enough to enable the weather man to
lold his job."
A Turkey Bloom,
A little four-year-old girl had watched
with interest the unfolding of flowers in a
garden, and saw a rose blossom changed
from a bud to a full-blown rose in a short
space of time. One day she saw a turkey
cock suddenly expand his tail into a fan,
in the act of "strutting," when she ran
in to her mother and exclaimed, "Oh,
mother! I've just seen a turkey bloom
out!"
Garden Calendar for January.
Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavy dres-
Ing with compost and <ialt. Radishes sow sparsely
from time to time. Horse radish cuttings put out.
Onions may still be planted, also Garlic and Shallots.
Lettuce plants from fall sowing transplant. Spinach
may be sown for early spring use. Onions hoe and
all other hardy crops planted in autumn. Peas sow
at intervals; some may be frosted, but try again.
Turnips for early crop sow. Trees and shrubbery may
be transplanted and pruned. Early Flat Dutch Cab-
bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect plenty of manure.
FARM NOTES.
The Mouth. — Every season has its ap-
propriate labors and duties, and with this
month, the first of the year, comes the
time for reflection as well as anticipation.
It is the period for fixing the plans, and
of deciding upon the crops to be raised.
It is now that the experience of the past
year should be summoned, to give its tes-
timony of errors and failures, that they
may be avoided in the future. It is said,
"every failure is but a milestone in the
road to success." Now, then, is the time
for the farmer to mark well these mile-
stones, that they may be avoided during
the year.
Keep a Memorandum of Work. — Another
suggestion we make at this season, is to
keep a memorandum of all work to be done
for each day, week, or month, as the case
may be, and keep it up during the year.
This can easily be done upon a slate,
small blank book or a folded sheet of pa-
per. A glance at this list will greatly aid
in laying out work, and as fast as each
item is accomplished, draw a line through
it. Such a plan will lead to system and
order, and the accomplishment of more
work than without it.
Stock. — All stock should be carefully
tended during this month, which in our
latitude is generally the coldest of the
year. Milking cows will be benefited by a
tub full of milk-warm water with two
quarts of bran stirred in it twice a day.
Cold water for drink greatly reduces the
quantity of milk. Young animals, and
those that are lean, need better protection
and food than those that are fat and full
grown.

The bare fruitfulness of any life comes by its self-
denials. There is no good done and no profit made
without labor and oain; it is by surrenders and givings
that one becomes of value to society and to the kingdom
of Christ.— Selected.
Appetite for Anything.
The other day a would-be fashionable
lady called at a neighbor's at what she
thought would be supper time. "Come
in," said the neighbor; "we are having a
Itableau." "I am so glad," said the visitor;
*I thought I smelt 'em, and I like them
better than anything for supper."
Stung Again.
'What a frail-looking body that poor fly
has!" exclaimed the city boarder.
"Don't you fool with that frail body,"
rejoined the old farmer. "It belongs to a
wasp, and if you get familiar you'll find it
strong enough in the end."
Something in the Head.
Sapleigh — I've got a cold or something
in my head, doncherknow!
Miss Cutting — ^Well, if there's anything
there, it must be a cold!
Just Possible.
-Honesty is the best policy," remarked
the optimist.
'So it was in the days of the proverb
maker," rejoined the contrary person;
'but I guess the policy must have ex-
pired."
Supporting Them.
May — The bride nearly fainted during
the wedding, and had to be supported by
tier father until it was over.
Jim — Yes, and now I hear her father is
supporting both of them.
God, angels, devils and men — what a
jollection of tangible and intangible
hings.
Garden Calendar for February.
If not done last month, prepare heating materials
for hotbeds, for which select situation protected by
a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress, grafting
execute. Fruit trees and shubbery transplant. Plant
early Potatoes. Spinach sow, also Radishes, Carrots,
Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cabbage plants from different
sowings, transplant lettuce plants. Peas plant — the
extra early is the best. In hotbeds sow Cabbage,
Tomato, Ege Plant, Lettuce, Radish, etc. .Don't be
deterred in your operations for fear of loss by change
of temperature, but have at hand the means of pro-
tection against hard weather, or you will be behind
your enterprising neighbor.
FARM NOTES.
Water Furrows. — Spring rains with
their floods and freshets do great damage
in washing away the best soil of the farm.
Now is the time to open your water fur-
rows to prevent it. Ditches and drains
should be cleared of all trash and rubbish
that will interfere with the water flow.
Early Irish Potatoes. — Where there is
easy communication from Southern to
Northern markets, few crops pay better
than early Irish potatoes. By early plant-
ing and frequent cultivation to hasten
growth, the first crop may be gathered in
time for a second planting.
Plowing. — In plowing at this season it
should be remembered not to plow very
deep, unless it is very fertile soil, as there
is no time for the weather to mellow the
soil. A fine rich soil is needed that the
seed may push into active growth at once.
Top-dressing Grass and Grain Crops. —
A moderate top-dressing of grass and
grain crops with some active fertilizer,
rich in ammonia and phosphoric acid,
from 100 to 150 pounds per acre, would be
of great service to these crops.
Harrowing. — Harrowing is of great ben-
efit to the growing small-seed crops, and
they should be cultivated by this means.
The ground should be dry when it is done.
The object is to break up and mellow the
soil.
Selection of Seed.— If not done, select
your seed for future crops. Remember
that crops can be greatly increased by
sowing the best seed— therefore sow none
but the best.
Put a drop of honey on your tongue be-
'ore you speak, and see how easy it is to
nake friends.

Living men must have living institutions. It is
ery idle to suppose that we are to be ruled by men who
re lying in their graves. Each age is capable of
idging of its needs; it is not to be supposed that a
ast ige knew what we should want. — Selected.
I Can Stand It..
"Gracious, Tommy!" said the startled
isitor: "I never saw a lad get as many
pankings as you do. Why, it seems to
»e a continuous performance down in the
voodshed."
Oh, I can stand it," laughed Tommy,
vith a wink.
"You can stand it?"
"Sure! When dad spanks me, ma feels
o sorry she gives me candy on the sly.
Then when ma spanks me, dad feels so
orry he gives me a quarter and takes me
>ut to see the ball game."
Better Health.
"Grandpa, the sun is brighter in the
lummer than in the winter, is it not?"
"Yes, and it's warmer and enjoys better
lealth."
"Why does it enjoy better health?"
"Because it gets up earlier."
Good Idea.
"How do you tell bad eggs?" queried
he young housewife,
"I never told any," replied the fresh
grocery clerk; "but if I had anything to
ell a bad egg I'd break it gently."
Given Away— Not Sold.
A little boy who overheard a conversa-
ion respecting a wedding that was soon
o take place, asked: "Papa, what do they
vant to give the bride away for? Can't
hey sell her?"
People are seldom on time; they are
jither early or late.
There is, after all, only one bone of
ontention in the world, and that is the
aw bone.
If you would not be forgotten ag soon
is you are dead, either write things worth
•eading or do things worth writing.
There may be as much courage dia-
)layed in enduring with resignation the
iufferings of the soul, as remaining firm
inder the showers of shot from a battery.
Garden Calendar for March.
Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plants from
winter beds, especiallj^ the large York Fresh beds
of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale and Rhubarb, and
Strawberry set out, plant Peas, Potatoes, Onion Sets
and early Corn, sow Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Cu-
cumbers, Beets, Egg Plants, Leek, Lettuce. Mustard,
Melons in hotbeds. Okra, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper,
at the close of the month, Radish, Salsify, Spinach,
Turnips and Tomatoes sow in warm situation.
FARM NOTES.
Potatoes. — Break up your land thor-
oughly, cross ' plow and harrow it, and
have it ready for this important crop. Old
ground of a sandy nature and well en-
riched is the proper soil for the sweet
potato. New ground v/ill give better crops
generally.
Chufa. — Do not fail to plant chufa for
your hogs. Experiments by our farmers
fully demonstrate its utility and cheap-
ness to fatten hogs. Prepare well a piece
of land for this crop.
Meadows and Pastures. — May be im-
proved by running a heavy harrow over
them and sowing, say, two bushels of fine
bone dust and five of ashes, well mixed, to
the acre.
Tobacco. — Tobacco land should be
top-dressed with guano or hen manure
and plaster sifted over the plants. The
beds should be well drained.
Fences. — When other work is not neces-
sary, repair all fences. Good fences will
protect the crop and perhaps prevent a
diOiculty with your neighbor.
Young Clover and Oats. — A bushel of
ground plaster will be of great advant-
age to young clover and oats when they
are a little above ground.
Working Stock. — Look to your working
stock and get them in good condition for
the season's work. Poor stock can not
make a good crop.
Wet Land. — Do not plow land when it
is wet. As a rule, no land should be
plowed when it will stick to a bright steel
mould board.
Fertilizers. — Fertilizers for spring crops
should be such as are quickly soluble to
furnish immediate food for the young
plants.

Providence rules our destinies. A power, than earth
ore powerful, conformably to our ages, stations and
leeds, raises up starlike intellects to shed their harmo-
ilzing influence on the powers and intricacies of the
>yway3, as well as on the royal paths of this low life
f man.— Selected.

bage for plants to be set out in June. Beans may now
be planted, drill Lettuce if intended to head; draw up
earth to Potato vines. Turnips sowed last month

sowed Cabbage and manure well if you expect fine
heads. Citron and Watermelon plant. Small Onions
.set out in autumn will now be fit for use. Asparagus
is now in season; hoe beds to exterminate weeds. Addi-
tional root crops may now be sown. Transplant all
kinds of perennial herbs. Remember to keep down
the weeds.
Pertinent Query.
Professor — How long can a man live
«^ithout brains?
Bright Pupil — I don't know, sir. How
)ld are you?
What Did He Mean?
Mr. Burns — Are you married?
Mr,
wife and three children, and next July I
am going to celebrate the fourth.
Is It Fair?
Is it fair," asked Mrs. G, the other
day, "for one's husband to attend a fair
with another fair, and pay her fare?"
Well," said Mrs. M, "if it was my hus-
band, he'd fare hard."
A Fatal Oyersight.
A colored parson called upon one of
his flock and found the object of his visit
out in the back yard working among his
hen coops. He noticed with surprise that
there were no chickens.
'Why, Brudder Johnson," he asked,
"where are your chickens?"
Huh!" grunted Johnson, without look-
ing up, "some fool niggah left de do' open
and dey all went home."
It All Falls.
Two friends just married were a few
days ago discussing rapturously, as they
congratulated each other, the merits and
charms of their spouses. Said one, "My
wife has got the loveliest head of hair I
ever saw, even on the hair renovator
labels. When she lets her hair down the
end falls to the floor."
"That's nothing," replied the other;
"when my wife lets down her hair it all
falls to the floor."
Garden Calendar for April,
Fight hard against a hasty temper. An-
ger will come, but resist it stoutly. A
spark may set a house on fire. A fit of
passion may give you cause to mourn all
your life. Never revenge an injury.
FARM NOTES.
Yonng Stock. — With the change of sea-
son comes a change in the food of stock,
especially in turning to pasture. It is best
to turn them on to grass an hour or two
daily before the pasture becomes full.
Cleaning Up. — Unwholesome gases arise
from the decay of rubbish and cause dis-
ease. It is therefore to the interest of
every farmer to clean up his premises and
keep them clean at least during the spring
and summer months of the year.
Fodder Crops. — A few acres of some
early fodder crop should be planted for
feeding green or for cutting and curing
for hay, Oats and peas sown together,
say two bushels of oats and a bushel and
a half of peas to the acre, make a very
nutritious fodder. German or golden mil-
let; if sown early, the fodder may be cut
in May or June. Pearl millet will give
a succession of cutting without resowing.
Planting and Manuring Corn.— It is best
to plant on the mellow, fresh-turned soil
before it dries. It is also best to put the
manure in the soil just before or at plant-
ing time. Apply three-fifths of the ma-
nure in the drill before the corn is plant-
ed, and two-fifths in a side furrow at the
second working of the corn. For another
plan also for a formula for composting
superphosphate with stable manure and
cotton seed.
It pays better to appreciate than it
does to be appreciated by fools.

The large places are never given to those that are
merely discontented with small opportunities. The
way onward is through inward growth. Deal so man-
fully and grandly with the place you now hold that
men are compelled to see that you are too large for it.
Then the world will seek you for its higher work. —
Selected.
IVo He Didn't.
"Jimmy," said an Englewood father yes-
terday morning, "the Doctor has just
brought you a beautiful new little sister."
"No he didn't, neither," said Jimmy,
"fur I seen him when he kum in, an' he
had a cane in one hand an' nothin' in the
other."
Resigned to His Fate.
At a restaurant where a gentleman had
eaten several times, the waiter gave no
sign of recognizing him, so he said:
"Don't you remember me? I waa in
here yesterday and had a beefsteak."
"Oh, yes," said the waiter, "I 'members.
You want the same to-day?"
"Well," hesitated the man, "if nobody
else is chewing on it I'll try it."
Did John Ever Eetnrn?
Mr. Brown was going to take a busi-
ness trip to New York, so his wife re-
quested him to buy a motto for her Sun-
day School class.
After her husband's departure, Mrs.
Brown suddenly remembered that she had
neglected to tell Mr. Brown the inscrip-
tion and size of the motto. So she sent a
telegram which read as follows:
"Mr. JoHn Brown, New York, N. Y.,
Aug. 19, 1S89 — 'Unto us a child is born.'
Four fe&t wide and eight feet loTig."
Love leads; greed drives.
Life is a book of but one edition.
Truth hid in the heart never stays se-
cret.
Charity always goes farther than it is
sent.

FARM NOTES.
Beantif y tlie Farm. — Nothing will so add
to satisfaction, or to the price, so much
as this at so small an outlay. Trees by
the roadside, neat fences, orchards, gar-
dens, outbuildings and pleasant fields go
to make up the charms of the rural land-
scape, and every passer-by makee a note
of every beautiful home.
Book Farming has become a phrase of
reproach in the mouths of the ignorant.
The reading farmer is the progressive,
energetic and successful one, as a rule.
Agricultural literature is as necessary to
the farmer as theological is to the minis-
ter, legal to the lawyer, or medical to th«
doctor. Read, think, practice, experiment,
and learn.
"One year's seeding makes seven years'
weedin." Therefore, clean culture is
the true method, the part of wisdom;
culture is success. It is manure and qual-
ity. It doubles the yield and improves
the variety. Clean culture is the most
economical and the most profitable.
Good nature ought to be natural to the
good.
Lady Agents Wanted. — To sell The

Belief is possible to all who desire to know. The only
man who remains on the same intellectual plane all
his life is the one who doesn't care, or who is intellec-
tually lazy. Jesus' prescription for the cure of intel-
lectual perplexity in things religious is to live up to
the light already possessed. Obedience is the door to
knowledge . — Selected .
Wants a Squeeze.
A young lady at a temperance meeting
said: "Brethren and sisters, cider is a
necessity to me, and I must liave it. If it
is decided that we are not to drink cider,
I shall eat apples and get some young
man to squeeze me, for I can not live
without the juice of the apple."
Somewhat Similar,
Jack — I hear you recently referred to
old Gotrox as a pirate. Is it true?
Tom — Not exactly. I merely said he
was a free-booter.
Jack — Why did you say that?
Tom — Because he happened to be at
home the other evening when I called to
see his daughter — and I know what I'm
talking about.
Tommy's Logic.
Mother — Just run up stairs, Tommy, and
fetch baby's nightgown.
Tommy — Don't want to.
Mother — Oh, well, if you're going to be
unkind to your new little sister she'll put
on her wings and fly back again to
heaven.
Tommy — Then let her put on her wings
and fetch her nightgown.
Many think they are shining when they
are only glaring.
The sins we wink at to-day are the ones
we wed to-morrow.
To-morrow's burdens always prove too
much for to-day's back.
The easiest way not to settle a dispute
is to go to law about it.
Doing things for God is divine-like,
while doing things for men is divinity
itself.
A Russian proverb says: "Before going
to war pray once; before going to sea
pray twice, before getting married pray
three times."
Garden Calendar for June.
Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin seed, Summer
Radish, Beets; thin out the latter planted; sow To-
matoes for a succession; sow Beets and Carrots; trans-
plant Cabbage, Celery and Cucumbers. Melons and
Squashes may be planted for a successioD, also Corn.
As herbs come into flower they should be cut and put
into a shady place to dry. The chief labor of the gar-
den had better be directed to what is already in growth.
FARM NOTES.
Swine. — A run in the orchard, espe-
cially if it is sown to clover, will be very
helpful to young pigs. There is a mutual
relation between orchards, clover and
pigs. The pigs thrive in the clover, and
consume all the fallen and wormy fruit;
the clover keeps the soil cool, mellow
and moist; and the trees are all the bet-
ter for the improvement to the soil and
the destruction of the insects.
The State-flag Toast Pillow-top.
In presenting this pillow-top, The North
Carolina Patriotic Society feels that it is
discharging a patriotic duty to the people
of North Carolina, and that their effort
will meet with a favorable response from
every true North Carolinian.
It is executed in the highest style of
art, at great expense, showing in brilliant
colors and true to nature, the State flag,
pine cones, long-leaf pine, sun, etc. It ia
so attractive and patriotic that it appeals
instantly to every one who loves the Old
North State. A very artistic novelty to
beautify your parlor, sitting-room, club,
or any place where you want a touch of
distinctive patriotism and beauty.
It is executed by a special hand pro-
cess, upon specially prepared heavy ma-
i terial, with fast colors. It can be cleaned
! when soiled. The size is 22 x 22 inches.
i Each top has a back of material that har-
j monizes with the front.
By having them manufactured in large
quantities, enables us to place them upon
the market at the low price of one dollar,
\ postpaid. Address The North Carolina
! Patriotic Society, Pinck. C. Enniss, Secre-
: tary, Raleigh, N. C.
! Lady Agents wanted in every town in
the State to sell these pillow tops.

The more obedient you are to God, the more obedi-
ent will your children be to you. Thus in his child-
hood the wise Solomon asked of the Lord "An obedient
heart" in order to govern his people. — Selected.
The Wisdom of Solomon.
Two men were arguing about the na-
tionality of a man of their acquaintance.
Not being able to decide, they referred the
Question to an Irishman, who was pass-
ing.
"Say, Pat," one asked, "if English pa-
rents had a son born in France, would he
be a Frenchman?"
"Arrah, now," said Pat, "if a cat should
have kittens in the oven, would they be
biscuits?"
So Strange.
The husband of a scolding wife stood
gazing earnestly upon her photograph in
a frame on the wall. When she sharply
asked him why he stood staring at it like
an idiot, he replied that it seemed so
strange to see her in a position where her
chin was in calm repose.
The Way to Settle.
"There is nothing like settling down,"
said the retired merchant confidentially to
his neighbor. "When I gave up business
I settled down and found that I had quite
a comfortable fortune. If I had settled
up I should not have had a cent."
Feast of reason — Entertaining an idea.
Patience is more often a necessity than
a virtue.
Coals of fire are not intended for roast-
ing purposes.
The average man wastes a lot of sym-
pathy on himself.
You have no right to set up your fad as
another man's faith.
Many a man who knows that he knows
things does not know how to prove it.
The fool is known by offering his fore-
thought after tho event.
The saddest slavery is that of being
ruled by our pleasures.
Garden Calendar for Jnly.
Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, Pepper Plants,
Cauliflower and Broccoli. Sow Carrots and Parsnips
if needed; sow Endive for early crop; a few Turnips
may be sown; transplant Celery for early supply,
and prepare trenches for the main crop. Spinach
may be sown toward the last of the month. Irish
Potatoes plant. Cucumbers for pickles; plant Beans;
sow Cabbage seed for Collards; sow Summer Radish
in drills; sow Turnip-rooted Cabbage seed; cut Fen-
nel, Mint, Parsley, Sweet Marjoram, Thyme, Winter
Savoy. Cut herbs for winter use as they come into
flower.
FARM NOTES.
What Farmers Ought to Remember.
It is worth while for all farmers, every-
where, to remember that thorough cul-
ture is better than three mortgages on
the farm.
That offensive war against weeds is five
times less expensive than a defensive one.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is a great deal cheaper made
In the summer than purchased in the
winter.
That more stock perish from famine
than founder.
That scrimping the feed of fattening
hogs is waste of grain.
That manure should not be applied to
land until it has rotted during one sum-
mer at least.
That the farmer who lets all the liquids
of his barnyard run to waste is a spend-
thrift, however "closefisted" he may be
with money.
That it is better to have one hundred
bushels of corn off of one acre than to
go over two acres for the same amount.
It is infinitely better to cultivate only half
as much land and to cultivate better.
That increased hay and forage crops
should be the object of every farmer in
the South. We should be exporters of
i these crops, instead of importing so large-
j ly of them.
I The flag of our State should float from
! every schoolhouse, every court-house, and
' should be in every home. Any one de-
i siring a North Carolina flag should write
I to Pinck C. Enniss, Raleigh, N. C, for
sizes and pric«».

Suffer no delay in breaking off a sinful custom: a
quick courageous resolution is better than a gradual
deliberation. He that would kill a Hydra had better
strike off one neck than five heads. Fell the tree, and
the branches may be soon cut off.— Selected.
"God Saye the King!"
An English professor wrote on the
blackboard in his laboratory:
"Professor Williams informs his stu-
dents that he has this day been appointed
honorary physician to His Majesty, King
Edward."
In the morning he had occasion to leave
the room, and found on his return that
some student wag had added to the an-
nouncement the words:
"God save the King!"
The Fresh Stamp Clerk.
One morning a rustic appeared at the
window of a postal station and after peer-
ing through the bars, inquired:
"Hev yeou got 'bout 50 cents' worth of
stamps, mister?"
"Certainly," returned the clerk. "What
denomination?"
"Wa-al, sir, if it's enny of your business,
I'm a Baptist."
Point of View.
"Just the same," said the vegetarian, "a
meat diet is injurious to health."
"Nonsense!" protested Muggins. "My
ancestors for hundreds of years ate
meat."
"Yes," replied the vegetarian, "and look
at them to-day. They're nearly all dead
ones."
Contagious.
"I've had a good deal of worry lately,"
said the garrulous milkman.
"It seems to be contagious," rejoined
the cook, as she glanced at the pitcher.
"How's that?" queried the g. m.
"Your milk also looks blue," answered
the kitchen queen.
Warm language is sometimes used in
demonstrating cold facts.
An Apology. — "But, Freddie, how could
you ever think of calling Aunty stupid?
Immediately go to her and tell her you
are sorry." Freddie goes to Aunty and
says: "Auntie, I am sorry that you are
stupid."
Garden Calendar for August.
Plant Peas and Beans, prepare ground for Turnips,
Spinach, Shallot, and sow Cabbage seed to head in
November. Large York and Early Dwarf and Flat
Dutch are excellent varieties at this season. Sow
CoUard seed, earth up Celery, Broccoli and Cauliflower
sow, and transplant from an early sowing, Onion sets
to stand winter, Carrots sow. Squashes sow. Ruta
Baga sow. Turnips for table use at intervals. Pota-
toes plant for winter use. Lettuce drill for heading;
sow Lettuce for autumn use. Radishes sow from time
to time. Beets may be sown for winter supply, but
as the seed vegetate with difficulty at this season, repeat
until successfully; cut sage and other herbs, gather
seed and prepare ground for late crops
FARM IVOTES.
Sow Turnips. — ^We renew the sugges-
tion made last month as to turnips. If
not done, sow on every favorable occasion
through the month, just before or after a
rain. Be sure your land is in good condi-
tion, thoroughly plowed, harrowed and
well manured. Drilling is best, and if the
soil will bear it you can sow barley or
rye in drills in the middles at last work-
ing of turnips.
Look to Tour Stock. — A seasonable re-
minder, it is hoped, may induce that at-
tention to stock during this month which
is sometimes neglected. The failure of the
water supply of streams and springs and
the drying up of the juicy grasses occa-
sions distress and suffering to stock. The
use of surface water in stagnant pools is
highly injurious, affecting even the milk
of the cows. A liberal supply of good,
clear water four or five times a day is
necessary, and the good farmer will sup-
ply these needs.

WEATHER FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER.-
1st to 3d, pleasant period; 4th to 5th, threatening;
6tb to 7tb, rain; 8th to 10th, warm wave; 11th to 12th,
hot and sultry; 13th to 17th, unsettled; 18th to 20th,
drop in temperature; 2l8t to 22d, cool wave; 23d to
26th, cloudy period; 27th to 30th, storm wave.
The two important things in life's highway are
vocation and location. The greatest mistake we can
possibly make is to start wrong. To know and be
what nature intended us to be is to succeed. To be
otherwise is to fail, or at most to only half succeed. —
Selected.
A cheerful lie makes more friends than
a solemn truth.
Feminine finery has ruined more men
than strong drink.
The Best Cnltnre.
"But you know, pa," said a farmer's
daughter, when he spoke to her about the
addresses of his neighbor's son — "you
know, pa, that ma wants me to marry a
man of culture."
"So do I, my dear, so do I, and there is
no better culture in the country than agri-
culture."
y© Medicine.
A Christian mother was lately reading
the story of Jonah to her little ones, and
when she read the tenth verse of the sec-
ond chapter, "And the Lord spake unto
the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon
the dry land," a little three-year-old ex-
claimed, "O, mamma, and it didn't have
any medicine, either!"
An Empty Cradle.
An erring husband, who had exhausted
all explanations for late hours, had no
apology ready, recently slipped into the
house about one o'clock, very softly, de-
nuded himself gently, and began rocking
the cradle by the bedside, as if he had
been awakened out of a sound sleep by
the infantile cries. He had rocked away
for five minutes when Mary Jane, who had
silently observed the whole maneuver,
said: "Come to bed, you fool; tJie baby
ain't there."
Marvelons, Indeed.
"By heck, Cynthia," drawled old Farmer
Hardapple, after his visit to Chicago,
"them thar city barbers are mind read-
ers."
"That so, Hiram?" said his wife.
"Why, I should say so. The one I met
knew that you cut my hair last, and, by
gum, he never saw you in his life."
Garden Calendar for September.
The work In the garden la again commenced in
earnest.^ Draw up earth to the Pea vines and .stick
as they'advance. It is not too late to plant Beans;
transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early York
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drumhead
and large York Cabbage may be sown; towards the
spring, and to secure a good supply sow liberally;
transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli; sow Turnips.
Potatoes planted last month will require culture.
Onions may be sown for a general crop if buttons to
plant are not on hand. Carrots sown will be fit for
use in December. Spinach may be sown from time
to time. C-elery plants need tillage. . Lettuce may be
transplanted. Sow Radishes frequently.
If you wait until you are called you
may be too late for breakfast.
FAKX NOTES.
Digging Potatoes. — It is best to dig po-
tatoes as soon as they are ripe; when
left in the ground they either rot or take
the "second" growth; care should be
taken not to bruise them, for more pota-
toes are lost from' careless handling than
from any other cause.
Fairs. — Attend the fairs, and not only
attend, but help support them by taking
something from your own farm. People
can not all be spectators on such occa-
sions. Those who are most active in the
support of fairs do the most good and are
themselves the most benefited.
Strawberry Culture. — It can be entered
on with small expenditure, comes in early
and gives ready money. The plants can
be put in from September to the end of
November at any time during those
months that the seasons are propitious.
Those about to enter on it should prepare
the land in time and fertilize it well.
The Use of Lime. — An application of
lime will be found useful upon any kind
of soil, at least once in five or six years.
It is generally used at this season, with a
full grain crop. But where lime is em-
ploj'ed, it will be useless to apply super-
phosphate, as this combines with the lime
and becomes simple phosphate of lime,
which is insoluble.
Buildings. — All buildings should receive
needed repairs and every preparation
made for the comfort of all stock during
the winter.

Just in proportion as a man becomes good, divine.
Christlike, he passes out of the religion of theorizing
of system building, and hireling service into the religion
of beneficent activities. It is well to think well, it is
divine to act well. — Selected.
Job Not a Doctor.
"Papa," said the little six-year-old
daughter of an up town physician, "wasn't
Job a doctor?"
"I never heard that he was. Why?"
"Because, mamma said the other day
she didn't think you had any of the pa-
tience of Job."
Taking Care of a Sheep.
A country fellow went out one night to
see his sweetheart, and for a long time
could think of nothing to say. At last,
snow beginning to fall heavily, he told
her that his father's sheep would be lost.
"Well," said she, kindly taking him by
the hand, "I'll take care of one of them."
Dead but Conscious.
Pat had been engaged to kill a turtle
for a neighbor, and proceeded immedi-
ately to cut off its head. Pat's attention
was called to the fact that the turtle still
crawled about, though it had been decapi-
tated, and he explained: "Sure, the baste
is entirely dead, only he is not yet con-
scious of it."
Could Spell All Right
"Anna, dear, if I should attempt to
spell Cupid, why could I not get beyond
the first syllable?"
Anna gave it up, whereupon William
said: "Because when I come to c u, of
course I can not go further." Anna said
she thought that was the nicest conun-
drum she had ever heard.
The poorer a man is the less likely he
is to be called a grafter.
If you would be farsighted you must
learn to live on the heights.
When a sermon only reaches back to
Saturday night you can't expect it to last
much beyond Monday morning.
"Are angels playing croquet, mamma?"
asked a little four-year-old the other eve-
ning, when she saw the meteors shoot.
Garden Calendar for October.
j3peets planted last month, cultivate. Cabbage trans-
plant, also Cauliflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe.
Onions sown last month will be ready to transplant,
small bulb onions set out. Spinach for winter use
sow. Celery earth up in dry weather and transplant
from the bed for further supplies, also Lettuce for
spring use. Radishes sow as required. Asparagus
beds dress. Strawberries transplant. Take up Pota-
toes and other roots, secure them from wet and frost;
collect Pumpkins and Winter Squashes, and expose
them to the winds and air on a dry bench before they
are stowed away.
FARM NOTES.
Manure Heap. — Be sure to add to the
manure heap and keep it under shelter.
Saving Chufa. — Take a wire cloth three
by five feet and place the same in a frame
with two handles on each end. The labor
of two men is required to oscillate it.
Pull up the chufas and beat them off by
hand across a rail or narrow bench. Then
throw them into the riddle with a shovel;
shake the riddle, which will separate the
dirt from the chufas and leave them in a
state to cure. They may be dried in the
sunshine without injury. Spread them
thin. Do not bulk them in a green state,
as they are liable to sour. Do not pack
them in boxes or barrels. It would be
safe to spread them on a floor about three
or four inches deep.
Fattening Stock. — This is the season
for fattening stock. All stock should be
put in good order for winter. Soft corn,
nubbins, green pumpkins, and such fruits
and garden vegetables as are liable to de-
cay should be fed to stock. Finely pow-
dered charcoal and wood ashes mixed
with food fed to penned hogs promote
their growth and fattening.
Storing Crops. — All crops should be
stored so as to realize the best results.
Corn packed in large bulk is sure to heat.
Onions should be stored in a dry and cold
: but not freezing place; spread layers of
1 straw between.
I Fall Plowing. — Fall plowing for spring
I crops should not be neglected. It saves
i time and labor in the spring. The winter
' rains and frosts enrich and pulverize the
soil and aid much in making better crop*.

Cultivate the physical exclusively and you have an

enthusiast, or a maniac; the intellectual only, and

is only by wisely training all of them together that the
complete man can be found. — Selected.
When Possessed With the DeTil.
"Don't you think," said a husband in a I
mild form of rebuke to his wife, "that ■
women are possessed by the Devil?" !
"Yes," was the ready reply, "soon as |
they are married."
The Sweetest Thing.
"My" dear," said a rural wife to her
husband, on his return from town, "what
was the sweetest thing you saw in bonnets
in the city?"
"The ladies' faces, my love."
Don't You Do It.
While growling at her husband last
summer, a New York woman was struck
by lightning and instantly killed. If you
wish your wife to see this paragraph, cut
it out and paste it on the looking-glass.
Send the Flying Machine.
"Mother, what is an angel?"
"An angel? Well, an angel is a child
that flies."
"But, mother, why does papa always
call my governess an angel?"
"Well," explained the mother after a
moment's pause, "because she is going
to fly immediately."
One touch of malaria makes us all

It's easy to take things philosophically
if there is no expense attached.
Too many thoughts and children are
born to Inherit the sour stomachs of their
creators.
Eating will satisfy hunger, but study
can not satisfy a desire for knowledge.
It only sharpens desire.
Don't think that because you ride a
hobby you are the only jockey in the race.
"Doctor," said a gentleman to his pas-
tor, "how can I best train my boy in the
way he should go?" "By going that way
yourself," blandly responded the pastor.
Garden Calendar for Xovember.
Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against
a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-gro\\ang
bed, the roots and stems buried up to the lower leaves
of the Cabbages; the beds may then be covered with
straw, or a temporary shed erected over them. Beets
dig and store. Carrots dig and store. Celery earth-
up finally. Onions in store examine. Turnips and
Salsify dig for convenient access. Now is a good
time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubbery. Spring is generally a better time for trans-
planting evergreens.
FARM JfOTES.
Gullies are not only unsightly upon a
farm, showing bad management, but they
are positively injurious in draining away
the strength of the adjacent fields. The
heavy winter and spring rains make them
particularly damaging, and therefore they
should be filled up with rubbish, old logs
and limbs, which should be staked down
to prevent being washed out of place.
Thus treated they may be permanently
repaired.
Sheltering Stock. — As compared with
the North, our climate is far more ad-
vantageous for wintering stock, but it is
a mistake to suppose that because it is ,
less severe stock does not need shelter
during our winter months. Though of
short duration, we have spells of cold
weather with snow and sleet. Good, com-
fortable shelter is therefore necessary to
keep stock in good and thriving condition,
and for the benefit of those who have not
made such provision, we publish under
Live Stock a method of making a straw
shelter which is inexpensive, easy of con-
struction, and will protect any kind of
stock during our winter seasons.

with the North Carolina Flag printed in
five brilliant colors with the celebrated
toast, "Here's to the land of the long-leaf

It is so arranged that th^ writing may be
done on the address side, so as not to de-
face the flag on the opposite side. Every
patriotic person in the State should have
some of these post cards. They are quite
a fad. Price: 10 cards, 25 cents; 25, 50

The Bible is not only up to date, but ahead of date.
It has anticipated every scientific discovery of any
consequence; and little is taught in science to-day
that may not be found outlined in the Bible. The
order of creation, for example, is now found by science
to be identical with the method revealed in this holiest
of books.
Bachelor Wanted Both.
An old bachelor seeing the words
"Families Supplied" over the door of a
shop, stepped in and said he would take
a wife and two children.
Against the Law.
A sharp-talking lady was reproved by
her husband, who requested her to keep
her tongue in her mouth. "My dear," she
said, "it's against the law to carry con-
cealed weapons."
Can't See, But Smell.
"Can you see me, dearest?" said a Chi-
cago man to his wife. "Tell me, can you
see me?"
"No," she faintly whispered, "but I can
smell your breath."
Not Worth Mnch.
She saw the placard in front of the
bookstore, "You can get 'That Husband of
Mine' for half a dollar," and, as she
passed on, she muttered, "I have one I
will sell for half that much."
Sudden Stimulus.
The villager rushed into the volunteer
firehouse.
"Come on, boys!" he shouted excitedly.
"Lem Wheatly's barn is burning down."
"Oh, shucks!" yawned the captain, lazi-
ly. "We'll have to look up our red shirts
and fire hats. Tell Lem we'll be there in
an hour or so."
"But Lem's barn is burning and there
be five barrels of hard cider stored in it."
"What's that? Five barrels of hard
cider? Come on, boys! Every man to his
post. We'll have that barn saved inside
of 20 minutes!"
Half the medicine we take is useless,
and the other half injurious.
If Adam sinned through ignorance, then
ignorance must be a sin. Where is the
average voter's chance of escape?
Garden Calendar for December.
Everything that needs protection should now be
attended to. If the weather be open, the ground may
be plowed or trenched to receive the benefits of the
winter frost. Compost prepare; dung prepare for
hotbeds. Hotbeds attended to. Radish and Salads
sow in frames: also Lettuce. Transplanting trees
may still be done. Prune fruit trees, vines, etc. Trans-
plant all hardy plants. Cabbage plants sown in
October will be fit to put out. Sow large York to head
in January and February. Small Onions may still
be planted. Earth-up Celery in dry weather. Thin
Spinach as you collect for dailj' use.
FARM NOTES.
Contracts for Labor. — We would advise
making contracts for labor for the next
year. Do not wait until all of the best
hands have been employed, in which case
second-rate or worthless ones will have to
be taken, and perhaps time and labor lost
in hunting them up. As far as possible
keep your good hands from year to year.
Settle All Accounts. — This may be hard
to do, and with many farmers it is an im-
possibility. Still, as far as you can, pay
up that little or big store bill, get the
exact amount of the balance and put it
down in your pocket memoranda book,
and as you may be able thereafter, de-
crease not increase it. Remember, also,
that mortgage you gave for fertilizers,
provisions, etc., which you ought to have
made or raised on your farm. How heav-
ily it rests upon you day and night, and
how keenly you realize that "the borrower
is servant to the lender," as a feeling of
servility comes over you upon meeting
him who holds it; but worse still, how sad
your heart when the thought comes, as
come it will, that Death may reap you in
his sheaf ere it is paid, and your wife and
little ones left to battle with a grasping
and unfeeling creditor. Go, then, and pay
to the utmost farthing all you can to your
mortgage creditor.
The flag of our State should float from
every schoolhouse, every court-house, and
should be in every home. Any one de-
siring a North Carolina flag should write
to Pinck C. Enniss, Raleigh, N. C, for
sizes and pieces.

HALLEY^S COMET IN MAT.
What can appeal more powerfully to
the imagination than a comet which
blazes over the earth for a few months
and then fades away in the depths of
space to remain invisible for three-quar-
ters of a century, and to come back again
in its appointed season and flare across
the sky to the amazement of all onlookers
and to the terror of millions? Such a
comet is Halley's which is now, after an
absence that has already extended to
seventy-five years, rapidly drawing near.
About February it will become visible
to the naked eye in the constellation of
Pisces. In March it passes behind the
sun. Thereafter it will become brighter
and be visible during April and the first
week of May, shortly before sunrise. On
May 17 it will again pass the sun and
from then on to about May 25 will be at
its greatest brilliancy and apparent size.
Its distance on May 18 being about 11,-
800,000 miles, or about one-eighth of the
distance between the sun and earth, will
render it a very conspicuous object in the
northern hemisphere. Its flight will be
swift, as it crosses in six days over the
constellations Taurus, Hydra, and Sex-
tans. A few days later it will become
fainter and fainter, gradually disappear-
ing from view.
Halley's comet has no rival in all the
long list of such bodies, for there is no
other that goes so far away, and yet with
certainty comes back again. And it is
truly a great comet, a comet that more
than once in the days of ignorance and
superstition scared the world with its
portentous plume or celestial fire. Some-
times it has displayed a tail fifty degrees
in length, long enough to reach from the
horizon almost to a point overhead. In
May, 1910, we shall all see it without
effort and wonder at its mysterious
beauty.
DISTAIVCE FROM THE CLOUDS.
The highest clouds reach ten miles
above our heads. These are the white
feathery forms of fine fibrous texture
which we see against the blue sky on a
clear day. Although apparently motion-
less, they travel from seventy-five to
ninety miles an hour. They are highest
in midsummer and lowest in midwinter,
when they sometimes descend to within
three miles and a half of us.

OBSERVATIONS
1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the fairer will
be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.
3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the Moon happen, the more frost or wet weather may be expected
during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten In the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations
r^er principally to the Summer, though they affect Spring and Autumn noarly in the same ratio.
5. Th» Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon, hours i. e., from
four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, ae is noted in the table.

BIG TELESCOPE.
The great reflecting mirror and accom-
panying apparatus for the Carnegie solar
observatory on top of Mount Wilson, after
the most tedious and nerve-racking task
of the kind ever undertaken, is in use.
The mirror, which is sixty inches
across, eight inches thick at the point of
extreme fullness, and weighs an even
2,000 pounds. It is safe to say that had
any accident befallen the mirror, which
is the product of unbelievable patience
and the most skillful workmanship known
to science, five years at least would have
been required to replace it. As it is a
matter of the utmost precision to place
a telescope.
So much more powerful is the Carnegie
reflecting lens than any other that it will
photograph 200,000,000 more stars than
are visible through the most eflacient in-
strument now in place. The building for
the big telescope is of steel construction.
The thin inner walls will be shielded
from the sun by outer walls, and air will
be permitted to circulate in the space be-
tween the two. The dome, which is sixty-
feet in diameter, will rotate by an electri-
cal motor, rapidly when passing from one
part of the heavens to another, and with
a slow, uniform rate when following a
star. The observer when photographing
in the principal focus will stand on a
platform suspended from the dome and
rotating with it.

Philosophy of Eain.
To understand the philosophy of rain,
a few facts from observation must be
remembered. Were the atmosphere at all
times of a uniform temperature, we
should never have any rain or hail, or
snow. The water absorbed by it in evap-
oration from the sea and earth would de-
scend in an imperceptible vapor, or cease
to be absorbed by the air when it was
once fully saturated. The absorbing power
of the atmosphere, and consequently its
capacity to retain humidity is proportion-
ately greater in warm than cold air. The
air near the surface of the earth is warm-
er than in the region of the clouds. The
higher we ascend from the earth the cold-
er we find the atmosphere. Hence the
perpetual snow on very high mountains
in the hottest climate. Now when from
continued evaporation the air is highly
saturated with vapor, though it be invisi-
ble and the sky cloudless, its temperature
is suddenly reduced by currents descend-
ing from above or rushing from a higher
to a lower latitude, its capacity to retain
moisture is diminished, clouds are fornied,
and the result is rain. Air condenses
when it cools, and, like a sponge filled
with water and compressed, pours out the
water which it can not hold. How singu-
lar, yet how simple the philosophy of
rain!
HEAT OF THE SUK
The heat of the sun nowhere penetrates
the ocean more than six hundred feet.
At a depth of from one to two miles the
temperature is everywhere .about four
degrees below the freezing point, caused,
probably by the ice water poured into the
ocean from artic regions, northern and
southern. This, being heavier than the
surface water, sinks to the bottom and
forms currents ever flowing toward the
equator, to take the place of the water
which there heated and rendered lighter,
rises to the surface and forms the Gulf
and other warm streams. As these flow
again toward the arctic regions, it will
be seen that a perpetual circuit is kept
up, the arctic waters continually lessen-
ing the heat of the tropical waters, and
these, in their return, giving out their
heat as they flow away from the tropics.
England is warmer than Greenland only
because of the warmth derived from the
Gulf stream.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheu-
matism is an internal disease and re-
quires an internal remedy. Rubbing with
Oils and Liniments will not cure; affords
only temporary relief at best; causes you
to delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get a firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a perfect
and complete cure, which is called Rheu-
macide. Tested in hundreds of cases, it
has effected the most marvelous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
"gets at the joints from the inside,"
sweeps the poisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the liver
and kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide "strikes the root of the dis-
ease and removes its cause." This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and deal-
ers generally at 50c. and $1 a bottle.
Rheumacide Tablets at 25c., 50c. and $1
a package. Trial bottle of Tablets will be
mailed to any address on receipt of price

THE MOST IMPORTANT ASTRONOMI-
CAL EVENT OF THE TEAR 1910.
Halley's comet, which has an extraor-
dinary history in classical and astronomi-
cal literature, and which was last seen in
1835, is to visit the earth this year.
The perihelion passage of the comet in
the sky will mark the most important
astronomical event of the year 1910.
The comet will grow brighter day by
day as it enters the orbit of the solar
system, until it becomes visible to the
naked eye. It will exceed in brilliance
any object to cross the heavens in the
lifetime of persons now living.
By next May or June the comet will
have approached within a few miles of
the earth, but scrupulous ones, who might
look for the sounding of Gabriel's trumpet
as a simultaneous event, may console
themselves with the assurance that a few
miles in astronomical parlance means at
least twenty million.
Halley's comet attracted most attention
when its appearance occured in William
of Normandy's time.
It takes an optimist to anticipate pleas-
TWO ECLIPSES OF THE MOON THIS
TEAR.
(See page 3 for date and time.)
As there will be two eclipses of the
moon this year, some* information con-
cerning them will be of interest.
An eclipse of the moon takes place
when the dark body of the earth, coming
between it and the sun, intercepts his
light, and throws a shadow on the moon.
This can happen only at the time of a
full moon, or when the moon is in opposi-
tion; for it is only then that the earth is
between it and the sun. The least num-
ber of eclipses which can occur In any
year is two, and the greatest number is
seven. In the former case they will both
be of the sun, and in the latter case there
will be five of the sun and two of the
moon — those of the moon being total. The
usual number, however, is four, two of
the sun and two of the moon. A partial
eclipse of the moon usually occurs about
two weeks before or after a total eclipse
of the sun, A partial eclipse of the sun
will always occur about two weeks before
or after a total eclipse of the moon. The
greatest possible time during which the
moon can be totally eclipsed is nearly
two hours. All eclipses of the moon com-
mence on its eastern edge and end on its
western. Eclipses occur in regular order
or cycles and can be easily computed by
any one at all conversant with astronomy.
Long before the beginning of the Chris-
tian era the Chaldean astronomers had
discovered a rough and ready method of
predicting eclipses, which after the lapse
of thousands of years is still of value and
interest. To apply this method we simply
have to start from any eclipse whatsoever
and calculate backward or forward from
that date by subtracting or adding eigh-
teen years and ten or eleven days, and we
will have a recurrence of the same
eclipse, for the reason that the sun, moon
and earth regularly return at the end of
this period to the same position with re-
spect to each other. This period of eigh-
teen years and ten or eleven days was
called by the Chaldeans "Saros," an an-
cient word which means cycle or repeti-
tion. If, therefore, to the mean time of
any eclipse of the sun or moon we add
the Chaldean period of eighteen years and
ten or eleven days we will have a return
of the same eclipse, and this mode of pre-
dicting them will hold good for ages to
come. When four leap years occur in
this Chaldean period, we add eighteen
years and eleven days; but when five
leap years happen in this period we add
only eighteen years and ten days. So due
heed must be paid to the number of leap
years in applying the "Saros" to the pre-
tur:>^ee-enotss e^orth caholina almanac.

SULPHUR THE GREAT HOME
REMEDY.
This Letter is Wortli Reading.
"Gentlemen: — For five weeks I suffered
Intensely from a bad case of Eczema,
which covered my chest, stomach, back
and both arms. After trying three physi-
cians and one skin specialist, and by ac-
tual count twenty-nine different oint-
ments and lotions, I accidentally learned
of Hancock's Sulphur Compound and
Ointment. As I was willing to try any-
thing once, I purchased a bottle of the
Liquid and Ointment. The first applica-
tion gave me instant relief from that aw-
ful itching inflamed surface of my skin.
I persistently used this remedy for one
week and at the end of that time I had
hardly a trace of the eruption on my per-
! son. If any reader questions this testi-
monial as not being bona fide and abso-
lutely unsolicited, an inquiry addressed
to the address below enclosing postage,
Will convince any one beyond question.

Growth of Cities.
In an interesting study of the growth
of the world's great cities M. de Foville
notes that in 1801 there were in Europe
only twenty-two which had more than
100,000 inhabitants. These were London
and Dublin; Paris Marseilles and Lyons;
Amsterdam; Berlin and Hamburg;
Vienna; Naples, Rome, Milan, Venice and
Palermo; Madrid and Barcelona; Lisbon;
St. Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw; Copen-
hagen; Constantinople. Two only of these
cities had more than 500,000 — London,
950,000; Paris, 500,000. Naples came third
with 360,000, and Vienna fourth with
230,000.
To-day there are in Europe 160 cities
having more than 100,000 inhabitants,
of which fifty-five have more than 250,000.
There are twenty-five cities with more
than a half million people and seven with
more than a million. These are: London,
4,750,000; Paris, 2.706,000; Berlin, 2,000,-
000; Vienna, 2,000,000; St. Petersburg, 1,-
430,000; Moscow, 1,350,000; Constantino-
ple, 1,100,000.
In the same class with these he places
the following cities of other parts of the
world: New York, 4,110,000; Chicago, 2,-
049,000; Philadelphia, 1,440,000; Calcutta,
1,027,000; Singan, in China, 1,000,000.
Strangely enough, he makes no mention
of Tokyo, with its 1,818,655; Canton and
Pekin, the population of which is esti-
mated at 1,600,000 each; Calcutta, with
1,026,987; Buenos Ayres, with 1,000,000.
SMARTLETS.
The Bible abuses the goat, the same as
Dickens abuses the Jew, but the goat is
still on earth and the Jew hasn't gone to
the dickens.
Getting closer to the poorest man on
earth, is getting nearer to the greatest
God on high.
People who turn night into day, gener-
ally end by turning an earthly paradise
into a worldly hell.
Men are the victims of misguided force.
A few zealots are always forcing their
political and religious beliefs upon the
common people.
I doubt if there ever lived a sane man
who considered himself good. Back some-
where in the hidden cavities of memory
a finger points to periods when he lived
a lie.
Laziness, and a long-drawn-out love
story, are often mistaken for a love of
literature.

THE FAIB SEX.
The average woman hasn't time to lis-
Q to half the things she says.
It isn't always a small matter when a
3man puts her foot in it.
The pocket money of most women
mes out of some man's pocket.
Life isn't much of a burden to the wo-
rn who looks younger than she is.
A girl will forgive a young man for
Bsing her, but she'll never forgive him if
: doesn't.
No matter how homely a girl may be,
e doesn't think people justified in de-
ribing her in plain language.
Some women worry about the worries
ey have missed.
Homeliness is a virtu* that only pretty
rls can appreciate.
A woman never attempts to hide her
jealousy under a bushel.
The man who is forever looking back-
ward never gets very far ahead.
When a man and woman quarrel the
man has an excuse ami the woman has
her because.
Even if a woman has naturally curly
hair she can always find something else to
worry about.
What a lovely world this is to a girl the
first time she falls in love.
Marriage is a failure only when one or
both parties to it are failures.
The girl who expects love to come after
marriage places the cart before the horse.
Although a man may imagine that he
has married an angel he should see that
she stays near the ground while testing
her wings.
If some married men do not lie about
what keeps them out until 2 a. m. it's
probably because their wives are not at
home to ask them.
When a woman tells her husband she
wishes she had been born a man he is apt
to echo the wish.
It's remarkable how easy a girl can
adjust herself to circumstances. She can
be fond of almost any young man when
there are no others around.
A girl's idea of a glad hand is one with
a solitaire on it.
Many a spinster who could have mar-
ried in haste repents at leisure.
A woman may not be able to do her
own cooking, but she can at least roast
the kitchen help.
A woman is always contrary enough to
agree with a man just when he doesn't
want her to.
It takes a woman to conceal the things
she doesn't know, but a man's ignorance
is always cropping out.
If there is such a thing as a perfect wo-
man it must be one who is able to conceal
her imperfections.
The best law — the golden rule.
Gifts to God are too often in the shape
of a bribe — given in expectation of larger
gains.

MAXIMS AND PROVERBS.
Children have more need of models
than of critics.
It is better to look round on prosperity
than back on glory.
It is position and not possession that
renders us happy.
A woman who wants a charitable heart
wants a pure mind.
Hatred is keener than friendship, but
less keen than love.
The secret pleasure of a generous act
is the great mind's great bribe.
Applause is the spur of noble minds,
the end and aim of weak ones.
Age respects love, but, unlike youth, it
respects little the signs of love.
Marriage is a feast, where the grace is
sometimes better than the dinner.
Christianity commands us to pass by
injuries; policy to let them pass by us.
The measure of choosing well is wheth-
er a man likes what he has chosen.
The way to eternal beatitude is open
to him who, without omission, speaketh
truth.
Our greatest glory consists not in never
falling, but in rising every time we fall.
The way to gain a good reputation is to
endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Hide not the truth when ye know it, and
clothe not the truth with falsehood.
There is no man so great as not to have
some littleness more predominant than
all his greatness.
Creation lies before us like a glorious
rainbow; the sun that made it lies behind
us, hidden from us.
Every event that a man would master
must be mounted on the run, and no man
ever caught the reins of a thought except
as it galloped by him.
There is no vice or folly that requires
so much nicety and skill to manage as
vanity; nor any which by ill-management
makes so contemptible a figure.
Restrain thy choler, hearken much and
speak little; for the tongue is the instru-
ment of the greatest good and the greatest
evil that is done in the world.
A knowledge of our weakness creates in
us charity to others.
Education is the chief defense of na-
tions.
The dream of one age is the science of
the next.
Tell me with whom thou goest, and I
will tell thee what thou doest.
More are drowned in the bowl than in
the sea.
It is better to have the big end of a little
thing, than the little end of a big thing.
If the world did but know the worth d
good men, they would hedge them aboi^
with pearls. .
All defeats in a good cause are but restj
ing places on the road to victory at last. ,
To be humble, or even contrite, it is no
necessary to live in a "basement." ^
Hope for the future, and regret for tb
past, form a large share of the world']
philosophy. 1
When a man has no design but to speajj
plain truth, he may say a great deal in
very narrow compass.
We hate some persons because we d
not know them, and we will not kno;
them because we hate them.
To him who is not satisfied with h
fortune it is as with a shoe; if it is tc
large for his foot it will upset him; if tc
small it will pinch him.
Charity is never lost — it may be of r
service to those it is bestowed upon, y
it ever does a work of beauty and gra<
upon the heart of the giver.
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but
love there is a sort of antipathy or opp
ing passion. Each strives to be the oth'
and both together make up the whole
Vanity is our dearest weakness, in mo
senses than one; a man will sacrific
everything, and starve out all the oth^
inclinations to keep alive that one. i
When wealth and patronage fall into til
hands of the foolish, and the base are e
alted above the excellent, the true ordi
of society is perverted, and confusion a^
misery ensue.
Afflictions scour us of our rust. A(
versity, like winter weather, is of use
kill those vermin which the summer <
prosperity is apt to produce and nouris

SIXTH EDITION REVISED AND ENLARGED
By ROBERT N. SIMMS, Esq. OF THE RALEIGH BAR
THIS BOOK, so NECESSARY to eyery Justice of the Peace, County
Officer and Lawyer in North Carolina, is now ready.
WE HATE GREATLY ENLARGED THE BOOK, and with special
care Mr. Simms has brought into his work every statute in the
Revisal and eyery act of the last Legislature.
THE FEE BILL alone makes the book indispensable and worth
much more than the price charged for it.
THE LEGAL FORMS of "The North Carolina Manual of Law and
Forms" haye been the guide of all Magistrates, Attorneys, and
Public Officials generally for years. This new and enlarged
edition surpasses all former ones in this feature.

to be without it.

ROAD TO PROSPERITY.
When we shall, by concentrating our
operations — making one acre produce as
much as we now get from four, cultivat-
ing two acres where we now cultivate
one, by the use of improved implements,
by giving more attention to those
branches of husbandry which require less
labor, and by stricter methods of business
and a closer personal attention to our af-
fairs— become more independent of the
laborer; when we shall have come down
to a cash basis, however small; when we
shall have made up our minds to put our
own hands to the plow, if necessary, and,
at all events, to be constantly in the field
with our laborers; when we shall treat
them kindly and considerately, manage
them firmly, and pay them promptly and
with cash, we shall find ourselves on the
road to real prosperity.

STARTING} IN THE WORLD.
Many an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life for the purpose
of leaving enough to give his children a
start in the world, as it is called. Set-
ting a young man afloat with money left
him by his relatives is like tying bladders
under the arms of one who can not swim ;
ten chances to one he will lose his blad-
ders and go to the bottom. Teach him to
swim, and he will never need the blad-
ders. Give your child a sound education,
and you have done enough for him. See
to it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature made
subservient to the laws which govern
man, and you have given what will be of
more value than the wealth of the Indies.

There are just as many people re-'

are violently insane.
There is more individual benefit in

it applied to you.

SKINNING THE FARM.
A farm differs from almost every other
kind of property in its capacity for per-
petual production. A horse or a cow
lives but a few years, and the problem for
the farmer is how to produce the greatest
profit from them for the short period of
their life. But a farm never dies, nor
never should die. It is a possession for
all time, and should be farmed with refer-
ence to its perpetual productiveness. The
man who for immediate profit "skins his
farm" by injudicious cropping is as short-
sighted as if he should skin his living cow
for the profit in the hide.
THE SPEED OF GREAT CITIES.
Statistics of the great cities show the
following startling facts:
Every 40 seconds an immigrant arrives.
Every 3 minutes some one is arrested.
Every 6 minutes a child is born.
Every 7 minutes there is a funeral.
Every 13 minutes a couple get married.
Every 42 minutes a new business firm
starts up.
Every 48 minutes a building catches
fire.
Every 48 minutes a ship leaves the har-
bor.
Every 51 minutes a new building is
erected.
Every 1^/4 hours some one is killed by
accident.
PNEUMONIA
kills its tens of thousands. GOWAN'S
PKEPARATION kills pneumonia by
destroying the congestion and inflam-
mation. Quick relief for colds, croup,
coughs, grippe, pains and soreness in
lungs and throat. External and harm-
leas. All druggists. $1.00, 50c, 25c.
Every 7 hours some one fails in busi-
ness.
Every 8 hours an attempt to kill some
one is made.
Every 8^/^ hours some couple is di-
vorced.
Every 10 hours some one commits sui-
cide.
Every 2 days some one is murdered.
A COMPARATIVE DOSE FOR
CHILDREN.
Ordinarily the following is about the
right proportion of medicine to administer
to children:
1 year old 1-13 of an adult dose.
2 years old 1-7 of an adult dose.
3 years old 1-5 of an adult dose.
4 years old 1-4 of an adult dose.
5. years old 3-11 of an adult dose.
6 years old 1-3 of an adult dose.
7 years old 4-9 of an adult dose.
8 years old 2-5 of an adult dose.

SMART SAYINGS.
The man who wins is the man who
holds on just a little longer than he
thinks he can.
There are 2,354 known languages — but
that isn't enough to do justice to the sub-
ject when a chap kicks a rocking-chair
in the dark.
The only woman who never had trouble
with her servant girl died when Adam
lost his wife.
The hot-headed man who gets cold feet
is a paradoxical parasite that we all
know.
Schoolboy (translating) — "She threw
herself into the river. Her husband, hor-
ror stricken, rushed to the bank — "
Teacher (interposing) — "What did he
run to the bank for?"
Boy — "To get the insurance money."
The man who broods over the errors of
the past can always hatch a large and
variegated bunch of troubles for the to-
morrow.
A good many marriages are unhappy
because the man is content to be merely
an ex-bachelor instead of a husband.
Life is a circus; but most of us never
get any further than the side-shows.
When we're through being faked, we
haven't the price to get into the big tent.
If there is an organ of contentment, it
must be situated somewhere half-way be-
tween the heart and the head.
The four points of Life's Compass —
What you think ; What you say ; What you
do; and, How you are done!
As soon as a man comes to the realiza-
tion that he'll -never be indispensable in
any position he may reach — business, po-
litical, or domestic — he has his ego backed
into the corner and the bridle on it.
A woman never lets a man think he
understands her until she is sure that he
never will.
There's still room at the top; but yo
can't reach it by "going up in the air."
Don't sulk, don't scowl, don't quit. You
may not have the cards or like the Rules
of the Game of Life, but the other players
have a chance to win.
When a man complains that the noise
is so loud he can't hear himself talk, nine
times out of ten what he has to say isn'tj
worth stopping the noise to hear.
Automobiles are like people — the cheap,
ones are noisy.
To-day is to-morrow's "I-told-you-so."
The man who is satisfied to follow the
crowd never gets to the front.
Push! If you can't push, pull. If you
can't pull, please get out of the way.
How old is Ann? Twenty -four her last
six birthdays!
Praise prudently bestowed is a tre-
mendous energizer.
If the unexpected always happens, why
not expect it?
It is with words as it is with sunbeams
the more they are condensed, the deeper
they burn.
True living consists of living at our
best without thought of reward, doing
what seems the highest right, and facing
results calmly and unquestioningly.
Some men chase an idea with the same
excitement that a dog chases his own
tail — and wonder why they do so, just as
the dog wonders when he caught it.
GROWTH OF ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
The electric railways of the United
States carried last year 6,680,000,000 fare
passengers. This wonderful increase is
due to the growth of the street railway
and interurban railway service, better
transportation facilities and the increase
of suburban residents.

WHAT IS HOME?
Home — A world of strife shut out, a
i^orld of love shut in.
Home — The place where the small are
Teat and the great are small.
Home — The father's kingdom, the moth-
r's world, and the child's paradise.
Home — The place where we grumhle
he most and are treated the best.
Home — The center of our affection,
•ound which our heart's best wishes
wine.
Home — The place where our stomachs
;et three square meals daily and our
learts a thousand.
Home — The only place on earth where
the faults and failings of humanity are
hidden under the sweet mantle of charity.
Home is the residence not merely of the
body but of the heart. It is a place for
the affections to unfold and develop them-
selves, for children to love and learn and
play in, for husband and wife to toil smil-
ingly together and make life a blessing.
The object of all ambition should be to
be happy at home. If we are not happy
there we can not be happy elsewhere. It
is the best proof of the virtues of a family
circle to see a happy fireside.
NoTember Meteors.
The 13th and 14th of November is the
period when the earth makes its annual
passage through the second meteor belt
which intersects its orbit. The thickest
part of this belt is estimated at 100,000
miles, and the densest portion is said to
contain at least one hundred thousand
million meteors, but exceedingly small —
only a few ounces in weight. Meteors
also appear from the 27th to the 29th of
November, and from the 6th to the 13th
of December.
MIXED HUSBANDRY.
Farmers, save your labor. Cultivate
crops that don't require much labor, such
as wheat, oats, rye, millet, clover, grasses,
peas, potatoes, turnips, chufa, etc. Raise
improved breeds of cattle, sheep and hogs,
transplant a good orchard of select fruit,
and a vineyard. Raise the best breeds of
poultry and improve your land with stock
manure, lime, plaster, ashes, and peas
and clover turned under. Keep out of
debt. Live within your income, practice
industry, economy, sobriety, and you will
prosper and be happy.
FREY'S VERMIFUGE
Is the same good, old fashioned medicine that has saved the lives of little chil-
dren for the past 60 years. It is a medicine made to cure. It has never been known
to fail. If your child is sick, get a bottle of
Frey's Vermifuge— a Fine Tonic for Children
Do not take a substitute. If druggist does not keep it, send twenty-five cents in
stamps to E. & S. FREY, Baltimore, Md.. and a bottle will be mailed you.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED
RALEIGH. N. C.
DON'TS.
Don't fear and fret if you would avoid
life's friction.
Don't fail to learn the lesson that
heaven helps those who help others.
Don't d'espise men lest heaven despair
of you.
Don't fail to remember that the church
that courts the rich loses its riches.
Don't think you can heal your own
faults by exposing those of another.
Don't think because you can run a
business without cash that you can run it
without character.
Don't forget that many a son's solid
vices have sprung from his father's ve-
neer virtues.
Don't fail to remember that sneers at
sincerity are evidences of a long course
taken in the school of sin.
Don't hesitate to bear another's burdens
if you would have the best badge that
can be worn as a Christian.
Don't forget that the path to heaven is
paved with good intentions crystallized
into worthy acts.
Don't imitate people who think they are
holy because a good dinner has made
them feel unhappy.
SHORT SERMONS.
To call ourselves "One of God's elect,"
is voting unanimously for ourselves and
stuffing the ballot box with bogus ballots.
Some followers of Christ have erased
the nail prints from their hands with
tainted dollars.
Hot iron will burn a child, not because
the child is a sinner, but because the laws
of nature are fixed. Earthquakes destroy
life, because nature is fixing the earth to
the growing conditions.
Mercy is simply a short intermission
between acts of torture, and torture kills
all in the end.
Copper is the standard coin for dis-
tribution between churches and God's
miserable poor.
Active minds never cease growing; the
thoughts that fit us ten years ago would
scarcely reach to our knees to-day.

Industrial Department
OF THE
Seaboard Air Line
Railway
THE purpose of tlie Industrial Department of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway is tlie development and utiliza-
tion of tlie raw material and natural resources, and tlie
settlement of desirable people along its line, and to fur-
nish information and assistance to Manufacturers, Investors,
Merchants, Workmen and Settlers who may be seeking a locality
in which to establish an industry, open a business, make an in-
vestment or secure a home.
This Department is in possession of tabulated information
descriptive of the possibilities and resources of every mile of
territory traversed by its rails. The information has been care-
fully gathered, is authentic and can be relied upon.
The adaptability of the various localities has been investi-
gated from the standpoint of utility, and every phase of the Agri-
cultural, Horticultural, Industrial and Commercial situation as
existing along the line of the road has been gone over with such
thoroughness and personal inspection that any information se-
cured through this Department may be depended upon as being
wholly reliable.
The Seaboard Air Line is one of the greatest commercial
arteries in the industrial system of this country. Passing as it
does through the Atlantic Seaboard States and tapping at its
southern extremity the fair State of Florida, which is destined
to become the winter garden of the whole IsTorth, it offers oppor-
tunities for stable investments that will produce handsome
profits for those who are farsighted enough to take advantage of
them.
This Department will be pleased to confer with responsible
parties as to the i)usiness possibilities of the cities along its
route and the advantages offered in Agriculture and Horticul-
ture.
