Knights of Pythias Celebrated Sunday BIG CROWD OUT IN SPITE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER Interesting Program Rendered —Several Impressive Papers— Rev. Singleton's Sermon Very Inspiring—A Few Facts About The Order. The thirty-third Pythian Period which was celebrated at the new St. Philip church on last Sunday afternoon was a very interesting meeting and was attended by a large concourse of people. The order in all of its branches was out in full strength and the program which was rendered was very impressive. The heavy rains of early Sunday afternoon had but very little effect on the attendance, as it was all that could secure entrance to the church. The music for the afternoon was rendered by the juvenile branch of the order and it was very inspiring indeed. This branch of the order was also represented on the program by one of its members who had a very thoughtfully prepared paper. The courts were well represented. Miss Nellie Mae Hart read a paper which has been widely commented upon. Among the other speakers were Mr. G. S. Williams, who represented the supreme lodge; Major J. M. Reese, of Atlanta, who spoke for the uniform ranks and Mr. F. M. Cohen who spoke in behalf of the Grand Lodge and the Endowment Bureau. Rev. R. II. Singleton, pastor of the church, preached the annual sermon. It was a masterly effort and one which deeply impressed the members of the order and their friends. Several important facts were brought out by the various speakers, among them were that there are 1200 members of the order in this city and 13,574 in the state. The finances of the order were also touched upon.. It was shown Continued on Page Four Negro Old Line Company Mnakes Southern Debut The Standard Life Insurance company, H. E. Perry, president, recently licensed by the Georgia state insurance department, is believed to be the first old-line life insurance company organized exclusively by Negroes to write insurance among Negroes. Insurance circles generally are interested in the circumstances under which the company begins operation, since they believe they may indicate a new field of activity for the Negro. The stable nature of the company is indicated in the fact that it passed easily the inspection of the state insurance department, which now operates under rigid new laws designed to weed out "blue sky" concerns. Its capital stock of $100,000 was sold with premiums of $88,000. The promotion expenses total the usually conservative aggregate of eight per cent total organization expenses two percent. Georgia municipal bonds to the amount of $100,000 have been deposited with the state treasurer. Already the company has on file applications for insurance totaling $400,000. The company whose home offices will be in Atlanta, expects to do business among Negroes throughout the south generally. Its officers are: H E. Perry, president; Wm Driskell, vice president; Harry H. Pace, secretary; H. O. Dugas, assistant secretary; J. O. Ross, treasurer; Thomas H Slater, M. D. medical director; George Dyre, Libridge, New York, consulting actuary. Mr. Eldridge is the only white man connected with the company, and is an actuary of nation's reputation. He prepared all the policy forms and rates for the company, and they are so classified as to secure only the most desirable risks. The operators and board of directors are drawn from among the most representative and well to do Negroes of the Southern stat. practiced by the entire cotton belt being included SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913 No River Excursions For These DECISION REACHED AT THE MEETING MONDAY NIGHT Representatives of Thirty Organizations Voted Against Excursions-Unanimous in Decision-Condemn Treatment Accorded Them At a meeting on last Monday night at the Savannah Home Association's rooms on Taylor street, west, which was called for the purpose of considering the advisability of discontinuing river boat excursions, the representatives of more than thirty of the leading societies and lodges of the city met and unanimously decided in favor of refraining from going down the river this year. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and those in attendance were evidently deeply concerned in the proceedings of the evening. The present agitation against river boat excursions among Negroes, was begun several months ago by the Dove Aid and Social club, an organization which last year gave two very successful water outings. This organization after deciding that they did not get a square deal from those operating the boats which are chartered by Negroes for these excursions took the matter of their treatment at the hands of the boat company under advisement and sent out communications to most of the Negro organizations of the city that generally go down the river. In these communications the grievances of the club against the boat company were set forth and they met a very responsive chord with practically all the leading organizations to which they were sent. In the meantime the Savannah Home Association, who had also gone down the river twice last year, and with record crowds, had investigated the rumor that there was a rise in the cost of boat hire for excursions, and finding it true, called the meeting which was held at their club rooms on Monday night to which thirty of their kindred organizations each sent representatives to the number of three. Among the organizations represented were most of the fraternal organizations, many of leading benevolent and social clubs and the St. Philip Monumental church. At this meeting the treatment of the Negro organizations of the city by the boat company was generally discussed. It was very evident during the first few minutes of the meeting that those present were opposed to the continuance of river excursions. All of the speakers, in no uncertain terms, condemned the treatment which their respective organizations had received at the hands of the boat company. The following resolutions unanimously adopted, expressed the attitude of every speaker who took part in the discussion, and also every member present. Whereas, There has been a rise in the cost of boat hire for excursion boats down the Savannah river and elsewhere which, the Negroes have been privileged to hire, and Whereas, Said boats do not afford necessary conveniences for the accommodation of Negro patrons, and Whereas, The boat owners above referred to have made irregular charges for said boats to Negroes desiring to charter them this season, and Whereas, Said boat owners have discriminated against and jim crowed Negroes by not allowing them on the upper decks of said boats during regular trips to and from Beaufort. and Whereas, On many occasions the chartered rights of Negroes have been infringed upon by the owners in the transportation of freight and other commodities, therefore be it Resolved, That we, the several organizations here gathered, with many of the leading churches, do hereby agree to withdraw our patronage from said boats for excursions, in any manner whatever. Further be it Resolved, That we most emphatically and forcibly resent the above discrimination. Lastly be it Resolved, That we shall use our Continued on Page Four Program Of Races Changed GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE WILL NOT COMPETE All School Yards at Recess Time A Busy Athletic Field—Eliminations Held Next Week—Prices of Admission Same As Last Year. This week has been a very busy one in the public and private schools of the city, especially for the youngsters under twelve years of age who expect to enter the elimination contests of their various schools during Monday and Tuesday in order to win places on their school teams which will participate in the athletic contests which will be held at the baseball park on the afternoon of May 2nd. These trials, from all indications, will be even more bitterly waged than those of last year, and the youngsters are all prepared for a gruelling contest. Immediately after all the younger boys' eliminations has been run, the older boys will fight it out for places on their respective school teams and spirited contests will be witnessed at all the schools. The rivalry among these latter is very manifest and those boys now in school who were fortunate enough to represent their schools last year are going to be given a hard fight for the coveted places by many of those who did not "make good" last year. There will be a slight change in the program from that announced last week. This has been caused by the fact that the Georgia State Industrial College will not enter the meet on account of a lecture which will be held at the college about the same hour which the races will take place. However, several of the more prominent athletes from the college have stated definitely that they will enter the meet unattached. Among the leading athletic clubs of the city that will have representatives in the open events will be the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club. In this organization are some of the most prominent athletes of the city, and they together with the unattached competitors will make the open events very interesting. At a meeting of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association which was held at The Tribune building Wednesday night, it was decided that the same price of admission to the park would be charged this year as last, that is 10 cents for children and 15 cents for adults. In addition to this, the box seats which were not sold last year, but given free of charge to those who arrived at the park first will be sold this year for 25 cents. As there is only a limited number of these it is more than likely that there will be quite a rush for them as soon as they are put on sale. Considerable interest is being shown in the ticket selling contest which will be conducted this year among the girls instead of among the boys. The three prizes which will be given to those selling the largest number of tickets will be placed in the show windows of one of the Negro business places just as soon as the tickets are out, and the contest begun. The committee which has charge of this will announce the day for beginning the contest to all the schools at the same time so that no one will have an advantage over the other. The subscription committee which has been canvassing the city for funds to defray the expenses of the meet has met with great success and the way the public has responded to their calls has demonstrated beyond a doubt that the coming races will be the most popular athletic event ever conducted by the Negroes of this city. That the boys are taking to the races like ducks to water may be gained from the following account by a teacher in one of the small private schools. She said: "We were very sorry, that the boys of our school did not get in the races last year because they were all likely looking little athletes to us and we felt sure they would have given a good account of themselves in the races. So when the invita-Continued on Page Four A Jesse Sherman, Capt. West Local Street School. I Local Negro Business League Organized. In response to the call issued last week, a number of Negro business men of the city met at the Wage Earners Bank at 8 o'clock last Monday night and organized a temporary Negro Business League. All of the Negro business men of the city are requested to meet at the bank at 8 o'clock next Tuesday night, April 8, for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization.

Cohen, J. Brooks and J. H. Butler. At the meeting last Monday night Mr. A. B. Singfield was elected temporary chairman, and Mr. W. W. Hill, secretary. The Speights Recital Very Enjoyable. The recital which was given by Mr. Wm. Speights at the Beach Institute. Friday night of last week was one of the most enjoyable musicals given in this city for sometime. Mr. Speights, who was presented by the choir of the First Congregational Church, is a soloist of a very pleasing personality and a sweet, soft and splendid tenor, voice. His renditions were charming and the audiwas simply captivated by his singing. The local talent that assisted Mr. Speights acquitted themselves very creditably. The crowd that was present was very large.

Sunday morning was children's day, and despite the down pour of rain, there was a very large attendance. They acted well their part. The lesson was reviewed and short talks were given by Rev. Wright and others. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Rome 4th. The subject of his sermon was, "His Mercy Endureth Forever." The sermon was filled with excellent advice and helpful illustrations. It was quite evident that the sermon was enjoyed by all. The choir sang, "Glory to my soul." Mrs. Whitfield of Washington, D. C., field secretary of the National Convention, was present and spoke of the work that is being done by the missionaries. Quite a large collection was taken to assist them. Attend our revival services at any time. They are always beneficial. St. Benedict's Church. Sunday, April 8th, second Sunday after Easter. Low masses at 7 and 8 a.m. Hi a mass and sermon at 10:39 a.m. Sunday school after the last mass. At 8 p. m., there will be a great celebration in honor of St. Genedict, the Moor, Patron Saint of our church, whose feast occurred on April 3rd. Solenn Vespers will be sung by the choir; after which Father Eugene, of the Sacred Heart College, will preach the Panygeric of the Saint. Father Eugene is an eloquent speaker, well known to the congregation, as he preached one Lenten sermon. Solenn benediction will bring the celebration to a close. St. Benedict was a Negro, born of slave parents on the Island of Sicily in 1524. At the age of 21 years, he entered in to a Franciscan monastery, where he became so distinguished by his heroic virtues, that the Monks elected him Superior of the community. No greater proof of the real democratic spirit of the Catholic Church could be found than the fact that a humble lay brother, a colored man, was chosen Superior of a community of white Monks. St. Benedict died at Palerms in 1598, and in 1607 he received the honors of Canonization, the greatest honor conferred on any man by the old Catholic church. St. Benedict (known in history by St. Benedict the Moor, although he a real Negro,) is now the Patron Saint of the colored Catholics in the United States, and several grand churches have been erected in his honor, as in New York, Milwaukee, etc. We ask the colored Catholics of Savannah to join with their brethren in honoring St. Benedict, the glory of their race and the greatest type of a true Christian man. Next Sunday there will be no service in St. Mary's Chapel, the members of the Mission will participate in the celebration of the Parish Church. Last Sunday converts were solemnly baptized and received into the church. Seven of them received the regenerating Sacrament in St. Benedict's Church. Mr. Eugene Greene was baptized in St. Mary's Chapel. It was a pretty ceremony. Mr. Amos Cannal and Mrs. Rosa Lloyd acted as sponsors. St. Philip Church. Major Dodd of the Salvation Army preached at 11 a.m. On Sunday his sermon was very interesting and beneficial. Promptly at 3 p.m., over twelve hundred Pythians, Court of Calanthes and Juveniles assembled at St. Philip to celebrate the Pythian Period. Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip delivered the anniversary sermon which was complimented on every hand. At 8:15 the Ocean Breeze society worshipped at St. Philip. Rev. Singleton also preached their annual sermon Prof Watkins gave one his moving picture entertainments. at St. Philip, on Thursday night which was one of the best On Monday night Madame Booker lectured at St. Philip to a large audience and on Friday afternoon had a heart to heart talk to girls over 16 years.

Monumental Notes The general mock conference of St. Philip Monumental church came to a close Monday night $1st ult., and after a four night session, something in the neighborhood of $200 was realized. Rev. L. A. Townsley, the pastor and prime mover of all good things, deserves credit for the success of the conference. He was out every night and assisted the ladies whenever called on. Sister Hannah Sullivan, the senior and presiding bishop, had her fellow bishops, presiding elders, ministers and lay delegates well drilled and the conference was carried out in grand style. The Sunday services as usual were good. Sunday school at 9:30 was well attended. The pastor preached two able sermons at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. respectively. Class meeting Tuesday night was a rare treat, a large crowd greeted the pastor. Madam Booker's recital Wednesday night was grand. The choir rendered excellent music for her. Love feast last night was in full bloom, every one present had some expression to give in the war of a determination. Services tomorrow: prayer meeting 5:30 a.m.; Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; preaching 11 a. m., 3 and 8 p. m.

The Little Zion Baptist Church, Rev. A. G. Frazier pastor, has purchased the church edifice, Hall and Harmon streets, and is now worshiping there. The members who formerly worshiped there have unified with Little Zion Church. The action of these two churches in uniting is a very commendable one. They deserve the praise of the entire community. Very seldom do we hear of two churches uniting. Christian Endeavor. On Sunday April 6th, 1913, at the First Congregational Church the Christian Endeavor will convene and the following subject will be discussed: "The Ideal Christian." Matt. 20;20-28. As this Sunday will be consecration meeting each member will be suppose to send, or be present, with a Bible verse. Resolutions Savannah, Ga., Apr. 1, 1913.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson I.—Second Quarter, For April 6, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxvii, 22-34. Memory Verses, 33, 34-Golden Text. Isa. xxx, 18-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Seven other sons, including Ishmael, are recorded as having been born to Abraham by his secondary wives, but to Isaac he gave all his possessions (xxv, 1, 2, 5) and sent the others away unto the east country. Abraham lived 175 years, and when he died Isaac and Ishmael had his body beside that of Sarah in the cave of Machpelah (xxv, 7-10). While he lived he looked for the city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God (Heb. xl, 10, 10), and he is still waiting for it and for the complete fulfillment of the promises made to him as heir of the world (Rom. iv, 13). Time is long to us, but not to Him to whom a thousand years are but as yesterday when it is post (Ps. xc. 4) and as a watch in the night. It is restful to see Isaac dwelling by the well Lahai-rol, the well of Him that liveth and seeth, me (xxv, 11; xvl, 14, margin). He was forty years old when he married Rebekah, and he was sixty when the twins Jacob and Esau were born. It forebodes trouble to read that Isaac loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob (xxv, 20, 26-28), and the reason given for Isaac's love for Esau does sound very earthly. Futures were not any more real to Esau than they are to multitude today. A mess of pottage was more to him as a hungry man than his birthright (xxv, 20-34), and for this he is spoken of as a profane person, or, according to Weymouth, "ungolly" (Heb. xxl, 16). Think of the profanity abounding everywhere because the god of this world is blinding so many eyes to the realities, of the future kingdom and glory. In chapter xxvi we read of Isaac's failure on the same line on which his father had failed twice, in calling his wife his sister to save his own life (Gen. xli and xx). In xxvi.4, we have the star promise confirmed to Isaac, and in verses 12-16 we see how greatly the Lord blessed him and how very rich the Blessing of the Lord makes one. A beautiful incident is related in verses 17 to 33 as to how yielding instead of strife makes manifest the life of Christ in us. The Philistines had filled up some of Abrham's wells. Issa reopened one, and then they claimed it as theirs, and he let them have it. He reopened another, and they claimed that one, too, and he let them have it. When he reopened a third for some reason they did not strive for that. Later they came to him to make a covenant with him and gave as their reason for desiring it. "We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee" (verse 28). Had he contended with them and insisted on keeping the wells, which would have been quite right in the eyes of the world, they would have seen Isaac and not the Lord, but he had learned the lesson of rather taking wrong and suffering himself to be defrauded (I Cor. vi, 7). It is most interesting to note that the same day his servants in digging a well found water (xxvl, 32). It is indeed sad to have to turn from such a beautiful incident to the lesson for today, which is a record of awful deceit and lying and, worst of all, a mother putting her son up to it and calling down the consequences upon her own head (xxvll, 13). Her alm was to bring the father's blessing upon the son whom she loved, but if she had only believed God and left the matter in His hands He would not have failed to keep His word, for He had told her before the boys were born that the elder should serve the younger (chapter xxv, 20). There is everywhere today a tendency to help the Lord to do what He has no thought of doing, and that is to win the world to Himself in this age, with the devil still doing his devilish work. There is also such a lack of confidence in God and His plan for His kingdom that many religious people try to work out their own plan, thinking thus to help God. The devil hates the love of God, the patience of God, the purpose of God, and is as busy with many of the people of God as he was with Rebekah that day, but they are blinded and conceived (II Cor. iv, 3, 4; Rom. xi, 25). This record of Rebekah makes us think of another mother who was her son's counselor to do wickedly (II Chron. xxii, 3), but one would hate to associate Rebekah with such as Athallah, though it is true of all that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked and the carnal mind is enmity against God (Jer. xvii, 9; Rom. viii, 7). If some-of us have not developed the same degree of iniquity as others it is only the grace of God that has kept us. Note the lie upon lie of this story: "I am Esau, thy firstborn," "The Lord thy God brought it to me," "I am thy very son Esau" (verses 19, 20, 24). But he was found out even as it is written. "Be sure your sin will find you but" (Nunn. xxxii, 23), though those words were used in a wholly different sense when uttered or written. We do well to remember that "God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil" (Eccl. xii, 14). This may, have been the first but certainly not the last story of kid glove deceit on record. W. L. BLUNT WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit And Commission Merchant 302 ST.

Adelina Patti once gave the following account of her first audience: At six years of age I was a prima donna of the nursery. When I had been put to bed on my return home with my father and mother from the opera I used to make sure that they and the rest of the family were asleep, and then I would hop out from beneath the counterpane and fancy myself a great cantatrice, bowing before the plaudits of a huge audience. I must admit that my audience was a little apathetic, but, after all, that is not to be wondered at, for they were only a row of dolls which I had ranged on chairs before me. Has His Own Center of Population. Little George had a heavy and rather intractable head of auburn hair which defied his mother's efforts to make it look well groomed. One day, after much brushing, she stopped and said: "Oh, George, I cannot make your hair go the right way, it is so thick!" George turned quickly and replied: "If you think my hair is thick you just ought to see that boy's across the street. He has the most thickly populated head you ever saw."—Kansas City Star. Radium and Gems. It is possible to change the color of precious and semiprecious stones by exposing them to the action of radium A German who has devoted himself to this study has obtained remarkable results. He bought sapphires of different kindy and put them in a box with a small quantity of radium. At the end of a month the transformations were as follows: White sapphires had become yellow, blue green, violet blue, wine colored stones red and dark blue violet.—Harper's. SAVANNAH.

Classes and the Eyes. Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have a more or less blurred vision, and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now, the two eyes are supposed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal a headache results. The remedy is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power. —Exchange. A physician recently remarked that "it was an awful punishment to be only slightly ill and have nothing to do." The man who is only halfway sick, if he has nothing to occupy his attention, soon grows morbidly introspective, and his mind becomes filled with exaggerated ideas of his condition. Disease grows and flourishes under such conditions. Regular employment is conducive to health. Work keeps the blood active and the mind away from the physical condition - Health (continuen from last week) A GREAT PEECH A Serious Question. There was once a time though several years, ago, when the Negro man cared not for the final disposition of the money he paid for his insurance, so long as he was assured that his sick and death benefits would be paid in due time, but since he has become able to guide his reasons discretionately in the general knowledge of things, he finds himself confronted with this question: Since the Negro furnishes the bulk of money by which to operate a certain class of industrial insurance, the benefits of which are used for the creating of positions to which he knows his children can never hope to enjoy, then why not become jealous and only support those companies, such as the brilliant Georgia Mutual, that are now giving employment to Negro men and women as a perpetual division to the success to which he has so freely contributed?

During the present week, the world of finance has suffered one of its greatest losses in the death of J. Pierpont Morgan, the master financier. He was indeed the fountain head, the Pegasus of the money market, the world of finance. Despite the fact that Mr. Morgan's was a life supremely devoted to the building up of a great fortune, it is nevertheless true that in sharp contrast to the average financier of the day, his was a life of many sided generosity and kindness. It is said that he was a regular and devoted christian and church worker. It is also said that he gave unostentiously to charity. These traits in themselves suggest that Mr. Morgan in his real self was more than a promoter and money getter. Mr. Morgan added much lustre to the United States as a star of the financial firmament. As has been said he rounded out a mapped out career. May others of our great financiers merit as has Mr. Morgan, the respect, esteem and confidence of the whole people as he did and thus win the everlasting gratitude of mankind. --- With bated breath, our people throughout the United States are watching and praying for the success of Dr. Friedman, the eminent German physician, to satisfactorily demonstrate and prove his discovery of a cure for tuberculosis, the much dreaded disease and as has often been said, a most deadly foe to our people. It goes without saying that the discovery of any cure for this terrible scourge among our people will be a Godsend: Tuberculosis in any of its stages is a terrible disease. According to statistics, our people are the greatest victim therefrom. Hence we are quite anxious to note a cure or panacca for the same. We are therefore anxious for the success of Dr. Friedman. If he succeeds, he will have the undying gratitude of millions of people scattered throughout the length and breadth of the civilized world. If he fails, then the hope aroused by his much heralded cure, in the breast of tubercular patients scattered everywhere, will be for naught. Let us sincerely hope and pray that Dr. Friedman is bringing to us the long sought for cure. May success come to him not late but soon, for by its coming, the suffering of the world will be diminished to a large degree. Last Wednesday night witnessed one of the most significant gatherings of Negroes ever gotten together in the history of Savannah, when pursuant to a call of the Savannah Home Association, representatives of upward of thirty or more benevolent associations assembled at the Savannah Home Association's club rooms on West Taylor street. The meeting was called for the purpose of considering the adyisability of discontinuing the boat excursions during the coming season in view of the fact that the price for boat hire has been arbitrarily raised. The meeting was indeed a memorable one in that it brought out in bold relief the fact that our people are no longer willing to support any firm or institution that is not willing to give them a square deal. It is far beyond the memory of many of us when our people first began to patronize the local river boats for hire for their outings. During the many years of their patronage, many hundreds of thousands of dollars of their hard earned money have gone to fill the coffers of the boat owners. And what has been the result? Poor and inferior facilities during all of these years. And now we are being called upon to pay even more dearer for the same accommodations. Do we wonder at the indignation of our men of thoughts? How can we? For some time we have seriously doubted the efficacy of the river excursion. Speaking --- plainly and from a moral standpoint, they are not ultra elevating. As a rule, they tend downward rather than upward. Of course there are exceptions. This observation is not infinite. There are some instances without its reach. However in the large majority of instances, we sincerely believe that more harm results from these river excursions than good. The good people who represented these various organizations must have realized this as they deliberated about the discontinuance of the river boat excursions. If we are to spend our money with others, then there should be given to us some consideration of its value. A dollar earned by us is as large and valuable as one earned by any one else. This fact can best be impressed upon some by refraining from a too eager desire to spend our dollars with any and every one regardless as to the consideration, given us. The representatives of the various organizations assembled, at the club room of the Savannah Home Association, have started the right move in the right direction. They have placed a value on their money. They are saying by their action that they are not willing to pay any price for services rendered. They are saying that their pay will be commensurate with the services received. We believe that they are right. We heartily join them in their position, we congratulate them upon the decision made to discontinue these river excursions. Let others of us do likewise and the day will not be long when value for value received will be more of reality with us. --- With our cup of ecstasy filled to overflowing over the continued and well-married success of the Sayannah Negroes along commercial and financial lines, The Tribune can not refrain from speaking of the same periodically. With two well organized banks among us, a first class mullinery store, an up to date gents' furnishings and dry goods store, a well stocked drug store, several large and well filled confectionery stores and scores of small but in- stores and scores of small but innovative business enterprises to meet our gaze on almost every side, we cannot help but feel that our people are moving forward steadily. On one of our most prominent thorough fares, three large and commodious offices buildings built of brick and of pressed brick front are owned by our people and occupied by Negro business men. Several industrial insurance companies owned and controlled by Negroes and giving daily employment to scores of our people, flourish in our midst. The value of the church property of the Negroes of Savannah will aggregate several hundred thousand dollars. On one street alone of our city a conservative estimate places the valuation of Negro property at over two hundred thousand dollars. Can one fail to feel encouraged over such a showing and perhaps lose himself in a moment of ejaculatory excitement on commenting on same? We believe not. And the end is not in sight. Our people are still pushing and pulling. They are seeking day by day greater commercial and financial honors. They are accumulating more valuable properties than ever before. They are indeed on the move and indeed earnest, too. All honor to them. To our young old men and to our old young men, in point of business tact and ethics, we doff our caps at this time. Now while we have done well in the past and are doing well in the present along commercial lines, we must not become intoxicated with the thought of our success both past and present and think that there is little else for us to do. We must realize that the business field is not at all cornered. We need more business enterprises among us. Why cannot we own and support a first class shoe store among us? Is it not possible for a first class furniture store owned and manned by our people, to prove a paying proposition? Our people use coal and wood and plenty of it. Why cannot there be established among us several up to date coal and wood businesses by our people? These are only a few of the suggestions that come to us at this time. There are others. If our people expect our children to become stenographers, clerks and book-keepers, then we must make a way for them by opening among us such business as will require their services in the capacities afore mentioned. We cannot and should not expect other people to give our people the choicest positions within their gift. They need these positions for their own people. And too, blood is much thicker than water. It is as true to day as ever: that if we are ever to rise higher in the scale of commercialism, then we must build for ourselves. We must make our own openings. For the past few years our people have done well. Their progress in business and finance has been remarkable. They deserve all of the encomiums that are given them. However, let us remember that the field is broad and that there is still much to be done. May the end of the year witness the establishment of several new and successful businesses in untried but promising fields among us. A Prize Carrot How would you like to look at a carrot which weighs a pound and a half, and which from base to apex measures fourteer inches? But this is not all. It is seven inches around the base and one of the finest specimens of this particularly pleasing looking vegetable that has ever been seen in this city. Well, we'd like to treat you to a sight of this fine, vegetable, but its too late now for its probable that it has been devoured by this time. This prize carrot was raised by Mr. Robert McNichols, Sr., at Shipyard, Ga., on the Montgomery road, and was on exhibition in the city this week. Continued from Page One that at the last Grand Lodge in July the cash balance to the credit of the order was $26,094.25, and from July 20th to March 20th, $56,633 were collected making a total up to date of $82,727.25. The endowment department of the order has paid out $46,700.00 and has on hand $36,027.25. $100,000 Odd Fellow Building Dedicated The grand opening and dedication of the $100,000 office building which the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of this State have erected in Atlanta, Ga., took place on Tuesday of this week amid impressive ceremonies. The program which was rendered at these ceremonies, which took place in the evening at Bethel A. M. E. church, were witnessed by a packed house. The participants were from several sections of the country. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., L. L. D., of the A. M. E. church, acted as master of ceremonies. Visitors from many points of this and neighboring states were present at the exercises. For an hour after the exercises at the church, the building which is situated at Auburn avenue and Bell street was open for inspection. The building which is a brick structure five stories high, is one of the finest office buildings in the country owned by a Negro fraternal organization. Georgia State Takes Two From Haines Institute In two of the most beautifully played baseball games ever witnessed at the Georgia State Industrial College were those of Wednesday and Thursday of this week when Hames Institute went down in defeat at the bands of the boys from the State College. The games were both extremely interesting and fairly large crowds were present each afternoon. Wednesday's contest resulted in a score of 3 to 1, and on the following afternoon the score was 5 to 2.

It is hardly necessary for us to call your attention to the fact, that The Savannah Home Association intends entertaining the public with a Rose Entertainment at Masonic Temple, on Friday night April 11th, because the doings of this club travel so fast that the news of this entertainment, like the dew, has already covered Savannah. Our only reason for this article, is to warn our friends who have patronized us in the past of the danger of coming late thereby causing them not to be able to gain admittance. Our generosity and kindness have won for us many new friends, who are waiting with anxious hearts the arrival of the date, but we believe in the old saying, "never give up the old for the new." So come early, our old friends, we will be glad to see you To our new ones, your presence will be much appreciated.

It is reported that a Colored man Frank Brown, while getting out of a wagon near his employer store, was accidently killed by the discharge of an automatic pistol of latter. This occurred across the river in South Carolina. Eight firemen were appointed on Tuesday and five were dismissed. Responding to a fire alarm, second chief assistant Forgarty was thrown from the rear foot board of the chemical engine and was slight, ly injured. A number of small white boys were caught destroying the shrubbery on the Bay street strand. Nothing was done to them. A raid was made on a questionable house on the notorious Pendergast street the other night and Policeman Crosby was caught among the inmates. He was dismissed from the force by the Mayor. A white man named Eadely tried to arrest a colored man on the east side on Tuesday, at the point of a pistol. A real officer arrested him and as a result of which he is in the lock up with serious charges pending. --- Fourteen alleged gamblers were caught in a raid on Pendegrast street early Sunday morning. The stock of Ensel's clothing store on West Broughton street was damaged by a Sunday morning fire to an extent of $2,500. The books of the receiver of tax returns are now opened for the receiving of the returns. The police patrol had an exciting run away on Sunday. A white prisoner was being carried to the barracks. Mr. James Bernant was instantly killed by a switch engine of the Central Ry., on Sunday morning near the Reliance Fertilizing plant. Dunbar Literary Club On last Friday evening at a literary meeting of the Dubar Literary and Social Club at the home of Mr. J. S. Delaware, 512 Hartridge street, an excellent program was rendered. Mr. Robert Gibson, the guest of the club for the evening, delivered a helpful talk to the members, offering some very good suggestions and advice to the club. On the second and fourth Friday nights of each month a program is offered by the club. The public is welcome to the above. --- HOW TO RETAIN PHYSICAL ENERGY MOST IMPORTANT Summer Solstice In Life Comes at Thirty, Snays Dr. C. V. Roman In an address to the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee not long ago Dr. C. V. Roman, the "saga" of Nashville, Tenn., said in part as follows: "Physical energy is the basis of worldly success, and the primary need of our people today is to conserve their physical force. Our educated people must live long enough to pay back with interest the price of their education. "The college bred man who dies at graduation or soon thereafter dies in debt to society. If he dies through his own ignorance or carelessness he absconds without paying his board bill. He throws away other people's money. "Our successful men must live until their successors are qualified if we are to hold our own and advance. The thirtieth birthday marks the summer solstice of the average man's career. He should have at least thirty active years from that date to make and reap his rewards. "A high birth rate is not a full compensation for a high death rate. The energies of the race are exhausted in merely trying to live, and no strength is left for improvement. How much land could a farmer till if he broke fresh horses every morning? "He could make no headway even if the horses were given him, and a race that loses its prepared men and women prematurely cannot find compensation for the lost in a high birth rate. The drain must be stopped. How? By teaching our people to utilize all available opportunities to improve their physical condition. One illustration will suffice. Davidson county, Tenn., has built a modern tuberculosis hospital, equal accommodations for colored and white. Although there are more deaths among the colored than among the whites from tuberculosis, there are fewer colored patients at the hospital than whites. "The average colored persons stricken with tuberculosis would rather remain a burden to his relatives and finally die than go to the hospital and get well. "To enlighten our people along these lines is a great opportunity. Let us hope that our fraternal leaders may see that "the good of the order" consists in embracing promptly this opportunity."—St. Louis Afro American. Wheat Hill School. Five Mile Bend. The closing exercise took place Monday March 31st. The opening prayer was offered by Mrs. M. M. Thomas. Then came the songs and recitations. After one hour spent indoors, the visitors were invited on the field to witness the out door sports. First came the May pole dance by the girls, then came a contest ball game between the Wheat Hill Reds and the Wheat Hill Blues, which resulted in a score of 13 to 16 in favor of the Blues. After resting a while from the game the gallant young soldiers, dressed in blue uniforms, shouldered their wooden guns and treated the spectators to a fine drill. Next came the refreshments, which were served by the following committee of school girls: Miss Matilda Lovett, Lela Edwards, Elizabeth Jordan, Hannah Bostard, Elizabeth Watson and Bertha Rucker. The seats were moved aside and the place cleared for dancing. The music was furnished by a Zonophone Band composed of the school boys. The last on the program was the promotion list which was read by the teacher, Miss Rebecca Sengstacke. This was followed by the song which the teacher explained, is sung every school day "Home Sweet Home." Then came the sad part when each had to say good-bye to their teacher and school buildings until October. Many parents were present and congratulated the teacher on the progress which the children had made this term. They also expressed themselves well pleased with the exercises and outdoor sports. A Wonderful Cataract The falls of Iguazu, situated near where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet, form one of the most wonderful cataracts in the world, being greater in extent and more varied in character than the better known falls of Niagara. The first plunge of the Iguazu falls is 210 feet, followed by two others of 100 feet each, while between the two series of falls there are cataracts and rapids covering a vast expanse and surrounding picturesque islands. Investment. I washed my face, my hands, my feet I bathed the outward part. The work begun Was just half done I did not wash my heart. I dressed me up in gorgeous clothes, Looked neat in every part; But I strut in vain With my gold head cane, For I did not dress my heart. At last men shun me everywhere, And even children start, As I approach In my costly coach For the stench within my heart. I bathe my face, my hand, my feet; I wash the inward part. Now men greet me With a hearty glee. For my pure, unsultied heart. H. Pearson, State College. Notwithstanding its excellence as a fungicide for bushes and trees, lime-sulphur spray has been found to be unfit for use in controlling blight in potatoes. The spray injured the vines and, as a result, reduced their growth and the yield of tubers. Spring kids will breed that fall if they have an opportunity, but to allow them to breed before the next fall, when eighteen to twenty-two months old, will make them useless as milkers. They never recover from the stunting effects and exhaustion of bearing kids too early. There is nothing in the buttermaking process that will kill disease germs that might have been contained in the cream. This means that both butter and buttermilk may contain the bacilli of tuberculosis and other diseases, and one is no better off because he refrains from drinking the buttermilk, yet eats the butter. Manure is money. There is no discounting this conclusion, and any landowner who doesn't believe it and proves he doesn't believe it by the way he robs his soil is making a great mistake that will soon stare him in the face. All soil is depleted sooner or later, and that farm comes to the turn the soonest to which nothing is given back. Feeding a lamb by hand is often made necessary in case of the death of the dam, but it is an undertaking that takes a good deal of attention. The youngster has to be fed about every two hours, and, on top of this, whole cow's milk should be used. If it does not test as high as 6 per cent a little cream should be added to it and a little sugar. The farmer needs and should receive a reasonable protection in the pursuit he follows as expressed in moderate protective duties, but at the present stage of the game the man who seems to be most in need of public sympathy on this score is the fellow who is trying to support a family of six or eight on $1.75 a day with meat and other necessaries soaring constantly higher. It is this fellow who is put to it to make both ends meet. Some folks would call this man queen. He came in from doing his chores one Sunday morning some time ago and, finding that plans were being made for a 'swell dinner, gave orders to have the stuff put away for another day. This wasn't because he was queer necessarily, but because he thought his wife was entitled to a little rest on the day set apart for rest. This is a type of consideration that ought to be practiced more than it is. Three per cent of all hogs that are slaughtered under federal supervision are infected with tuberculosis. The percentage of hogs affected with the disease has increased considerably within the past half dozen years. The chief sources of spreading the disease are the use of the skimmilk and buttermilk from tubercular cows and the practice of having hogs follow feeding cattle that are affected with the disease and consuming the offal thrown out from slaughter houses. A level headed farmer with whom the writer talked the other day remarked, in the course of a conversation explaining that his hired hand had been with him three years, that he found it worth while using tact in his treatment of him. He amplified this by saying that he tried as a rule to let his man have his own way or do things largely in his own way when there was nothing to be lost by so doing. This man has largely solved in his own case one of the worst aspects of the hired help problem. Where there is water under pressure in the house equal to about forty pounds to the square inch very good use may be made of the water motors for furnishing power for doing light forms of work, such as running the washing machine, sewing machine, and the like. Motors costing in the neighborhood of $3 are made which can be screwed on to the ordinary faucet, the waste water running off through the sink. The motor is fitted with a belt wheel, which drives the wheel of the machine to be used. While there is no telling what the season may bring forth along the line of weather conditions, the writer is of the opinion that any one who has the right kind of land for them would not go for wrong in planting a fair area to early potatoes. The seed is cheap. While there is an abundance of late potatoes held over from last season, which will tend to discourage high prices early in the season, these early potatoes may be wanted for seed the following spring at a good price. What is said of early potatoes applies equally to late potatoes. A Canadian subscriber of an American agricultural paper tells of an interesting yet simple method of securing a summer's supply of ice. Briefly, it was to make an excavation, as for a cellar, 10 by 12 feet and 5 feet deep. Into this he poured gradually, as fast as it would freeze solid from the bottom, clean water. By the time cold weather was over this hole was full of solid ice, and he then covered it with about two feet of wild hay. He suggests that the ice will last much longer if it is given a sod house covering. This Canadian makes practical cold storage use of this arrangement by putting in a hog carcass or a half a beef and letting it freeze in with the ice. In the spring as the ice melts around the meat it is cut off and eaten. INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

Alfalfa Fine For Horses. The Utah experiment station found that 1,400 pound horses at hard work could be maintained in condition on 32.6 pounds of alfalfa hay per day, and when at rest twenty pounds was sufficient for the same horses. Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Colburn of Kansas says: "The idea that alfalfa hay is not suitable for horses has been proved erroneous by thousands of farmers, teamsters and livermen. Many use no other hay. If there is any trouble it comes from feeding more than is needed. With access to unlimited quantities horses may injure themselves by eating too much. From ten to twenty pounds of alfalfa hay per day, with a small quantity of grain, will keep work horses in thrifty condition at a saving of 20 to 30 per cent in cost of maintenance." The Cattle Population. In the twelve year period, 1902 to 1013, the cattle population of the country decreased from 61,424,599 to 56,527,000, and sheep from 62,964,870 to 51,412,000, while hogs have increased in number from 48,698,890 in 1902 to 61,178,000 in 1913. VALUE OF OIL AND COTTON SEED MEALS The chemical composition of linseed oil meal and cottonseed meal given in terms of digestible nutrients is as follows: Linseed oil meal, protein 30.2 pounds, carbohydrates 32 pounds, fat 5.9 pounds; total nutrients 77.7 pounds; cottonseed meal, protein 37.6 pounds, carbohydrates 21.4 pounds, fat 9.6 pounds; total nutrients, 80.6 pounds. It will be observed that the chemical composition of these two feeds is much the same, says Hoard's Dairyman—that is, they are rich in protein and fat, cottonseed meal containing a little more total nutrients than oil meal and being richer in both protein and fat. Linseed oil meat has other qualities to commend itself to the feeder than simply its composition. Experiments have shown that when animals are kept upon dry feeds a handful to a pound of oilmeal daily to each animal helps keep the digestive tract in good condition—that is, it helps keep the bowels loose. Where silage, roots or any succulent feed is fed oilmeal is not particularly necessary from this standpoint. Cottonseed meal, as shown by its composition, is a splendid feed and can often be used when there is a lack of protein. One to two pounds daily A The pure bred Holstein bull Johanna Korndyke De Kol F, herewith shown, heads the herd at the Minnesota insane asylum. For several years the policy of introducing pure blood and testing out the leafers has been followed at the institution. The result has been that more than twice as much milk is produced from a herd numbering only half as many cows as under the former haphazard methods. The present herd is composed of pure bred and grade Holstens and for four months averaged over four gallons of milk per cow per day. may be incorporated in the ration to advantage, especially with farm grown grains. It is somewhat constipating and does not work into a ration as well as linseed oil meal when there is no succulence. Cottonseed meal has a tendency to produce a firmer bodied butter. If fed in too large quantities the butter will have a tallowy appearance. On the other hand, luscious oil meal has a tendency to produce a soft butter. When there is an abundance of alfalfa and clover it is somewhat doubtful whether very much. If any, of either of these feeds can be used to advantage, for, as a rule, where protein is not needed and the dietetic effect upon the animal's digestion is not required they are rather more expensive than some other feeds which may be selected. A mixture consisting of 600 pounds ground corn and cob meal and 200 pounds cottonseed meal will go very well with an allowance of thirty pounds of corn silage and a liberal allowance of alfalfa and clover hay given daily to each animal. One pound of this, grain mixture to each three and a half to four pounds of average testing milk produced should give very good satisfaction. We believe, however, that if the corn and cob meal could be mixed with some lighter feed, like distillers' grains, brewers' grain or bran, it would give as good results, if not better, for the feeds we have mentioned would lighten the grain portion of the ration, which we believe is of more importance, since there are sufficient elements of every kind in the other feeds to meet the requirements of the animal. Preventing Sore Shoulders The best cure for sore shoulders is never to cause them, says W. F. Purdue. Work safely and give the collars and harness proper attention, then sore shoulders will be avoided. One of the first things to do at the beginning of a season of hard work is to see that all collars fit their wearers comfortably. Then keep the parts of the collars that touch the skin clean and smooth or free from rough places such as are formed by accumulations of sweat and dirt that have dried on the leather. Remove all such accumulations before they have time to harden. Keep the traces even, so that each shoulder does its fair share of the work. Keep the lines so fixed that the animals work with their heads straight in front and not on one side. It is little things like these that mark the difference between a good teamster and a poor one. The Cow at Calving Time. Up to a few days before calving the cows may remain in their stalls, provided they are large enough for them to have plenty of room to lie down, for this is an important consideration when the cows are heavy in calf. Before her time for calving she should be removed from her stall to a box stall, and in no case allow her to remain in a stall by the side of the other cows that are in calf.

An upright life is Masonry's best advertisement. Profanity, falsehood, vice, ill become the man who has knelt at Masonry's altar. The man with the most Masonry in his heart does not always wear the biggest badge on the coat. The brotherhood of man can be changed from a beautiful sentimental theory to a reality, by living the principles of Masonry. "Let those who have light give it to others," is an Old Greek motto to splendidly exemplified in Masonry.—Ex. PERSONAL SERVICE. In petitioning for admission into the Masonic fraternity applicants are required to affirm that they are actuated by a desire of being serviceable to their fellow-men. Can it honestly be said that he is a true Mason who never visits a sick brother nor hearkens to the appeal of those in distress? Unfortunately, too, many Masons imagine that their only duty as such is fulfilled by the prompt and regular payment of Lodge dues. If the thought of personal service enters their minds it is dismissed as quickly as possible for one excuse or another. Masonry contemplates that each member shall diligently strive to strengthen his own character. In addition, he is expected to lend his aid to others who are struggling toward a like end. Opportunities for helping others are to be found on every hand. It only remains to select the most needy, worthy case, and go to work. Having finished, that another will be found waiting.— Chronicle.

A new firm known as the Colored Real Estate Company has opened offices in Newport News, Virginia. Helena, Arkansas, is opening another Negro Drug Store. A colored woman is said to be the proprietor. Jellico Enterprising Company is a new concern in Lexington, Ky. Its purpose is to stimulate business and to teach the people to improve upon general conditions about them. The Temple Board of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, has awarded the contract for a $15,000 building to Windham Bros., of Birmingham, Alabama. --- Topeka, Kansas, has several flourishing Negro groceries. Among these are the M. E. Williams, the Fair Grounds and Square Deal groceries. The one colored real estate firm of Topeka, Kansas, is that of Stewart and Bryant. They are also money lenders. --- According to the latest report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics for the state of Pennsylvania, the number of Negroes owning property in Philadelphia is, 1,080 with an assessed valuation of $1,801,275. The market value of these holdings is put at $3,735,000. The Pecan Grove Dairy Farm of Jefferson Parish, La., is one of the most thriving of its kind under Negro ownership. It is valued at $8,000. It has 98 cows, of which 70 are milked daily. It runs two regular wagons and one special, selling 125 to 140 gallons of milk per day at 30 cents a gallon. The latest census from Boley, Oklahoma, one of several Negro towns of that state, gives a population of 4000; a bank with a capital and surplus of $11,5000 and deposits of $75,804.44; twenty-five grocery stores; five hotels; seven restaurants; water works worth $35,000; electric plant worth $20,000; four drug stores; four cotton gins ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 in value; one bottling works; one steam laundry; two newspapers; two ice cream parlors; two hardware stores: one jewelry store. four department stores; a $40,000 Musonic Temple; two colleges; one high school; one graded school; two city school buildings; one telephone exchange costing $3,000. $42 school children; ten teachers; six churches; two livery stables; two insurance agencies; one second hand store; two undertaking establishments; one lumber yard; two photographers; one bakery; and one of the best city parks in the state. RAISING CALVES FOR THE DAIRY Our practice in raising calves is to start them on whole milk. A small amount of the milk of the mother first fed to the calf when a few hours old, we think they learn to drink quicker if never allowed to nurse, writes D. W. Southard in the Rural New Yorker. We usually start with two or three pints of milk, much depending on the calf, its size and ability to digest and assimilate its feed. Whole milk is continued for two weeks, slightly increasing the amount until two weeks of ```markdown ``` The Jersey cow makes an ideal family cow where cream and butter as well as milk are desired for family use, because her milk is unusually high in percentage of butter fat. The whole milk of the Jersey cow has high nutritive value because of its large percentage of milk solids, both fat and casein, and the digestibility is good. Butter made from the cream is of the best quality, color and flavor. The Jersey bull shown is Eurybla's Daughter's son. He is the grandson of the third prize cow at the St. Louis exposition. He is in the herd of the Oregon Agricultural college. age it is taking about two quarts at a feed twice a day. A very large strong calf might take a little more. At this age we begin to take away some of the whole milk and substitute separator milk, usually taking eight or ten days to make the complete change. Increase the quantity of milk but little during this time, and it may be necessary actually to feed less; as most calves will stand more whole milk than separator milk. At about two weeks of age the calf will begin to eat a little hay and grain. Clover hay is preferable, but any good, bright hay will do. Give all it will eat. For grain we use a wheat bran and oil meal. Begin with a small handful of bran and a spoonful of oil meal and increase as the calf shows ability to digest and assimilate more until at five or six months of age we may be feeding a painful of milk and one quart of grain at a feed, with all the hay they will eat. It usually does not pay to continue the milk much longer than six months, but it should be taken away gradually so that the calf gets no setback. Some salt where the calf can help herself is a good way to salt or a pinch may be added to the grain. Very little is needed for the first two or three months. Calves will doubtless grow faster for an extra feed at noon, but the extra growth may not pay for the extra labor. Very much depends upon the skill and judgment of the feeder and his love for the work. Winter Loss In Fodder. The enormous loss of nutrients in corn fodder every year certainly points to the need of some change in the method of handling. On farms where the general practice of gathering into shocks is followed and the fodder allowed to stand in the field until fed often half of the feeding value is lost. It is surprising how few farmers prevent these losses. The excuse generally offered is that "I have no barn room for it, and I cannot afford to build a barn just for fodder." Perhaps he is right in this statement. It would hardly pay to construct a complete barn just for fodder, but is a barn necessary? Any good roof that sheds water will stand against the destruction by elements. Simply plant four uprights cut from good straight trees and at the top make a cheap waterproof roof. It adds to the convenience to have the roof rest on pegs so that it can be raised and lowered at will. Such a barrack is easily and cheaply built and will last for years. It saves at least 20 per cent of the feeding value of the stover. CHUPNING DON'TS. Don't churn market butter till the cream is properly soured. Don't expect sweet cream to churn as easily as sour, although the quality of the butter will be better. Don't put cream into the churn till that vessel has been well scalded out, then rinsed copiously with cool water. Don't fill the churn over half full of cream. If it is only one third full it will give more space for the splashing and agitation of the cream, which are necessary in breaking up and separating the globules of fat. Don't churn in less than from twenty to thirty minutes, as the fat globules are liable to be injured and some of them be left in the cream if the operation is performed too quickly, while the quality of the butter is apt to be affected. Don't try to churn cream when it is cold enough to froth when agitated. Put the cold cream into the churn, set it into a large vessel of warm water (tub, boiler or large pail) and let this raise the temperature to a proper point for good churning. Don't attempt to warm cold cream by pouring hot water into it, as this would raise the temperature too suddenly, scalding the cream and making it difficult to churn. HOGGING DOWN CORN. Most Economical Method of Feeding For Pork Production. If the farmer can eliminate the expense of harvesting and feeding his corn at the fattening period he has a decided advantage over the man who does not, other things being equal, writes R. L. Dean of Ohio in the National Stockman. We find that to bring corn to maturity ordinarily equals about half the cost of production. The cutting, husking and crubbing equal the other half; hence a field of corn as it stands at maturity is the cheapest hog feed we can raise. About twelve years ago we made a careful test to see if it was profitable to allow the hogs to harvest the corn themselves. With part of the hogs from that field sold at $6.00 per hundred-weight and the remainder at $5.00 per hundred-weight, the field yielded a return of better than $6 per acre. The hogs had access to a timothy pasture and a strip of woods. We estimated the manure returned to be a compensation for the pasture. I am acquainted with men in this locality who have done better than this. An Illinois farmer in noting his first year's experience in hogging down corn last fall said he never had hogs to do better, even though cholera was in the vicinity. Four cents a bushel was saved in husking and the manure left on the ground. He will continue the practice. Another Illinois farmer sowed rape in his corn at the last cultivation and sums up his experience thus: "I believe better health conditions can be maintained by allowing the hogs to have a good range and letting them choose what they want to eat and when they want it. They are certainly making hogs of themselves." A farmer from Iowa turned seventy-three April and May shots into four acres of corn on Sept. 1. They had access to twelve acres of alfalfa. When they had cleaned up the corn they had gained 5,500 pounds of pork, worth at that time more than $400. These hogs gained at the rate of two and one-half pounds each per day. Another Iowa man has hogged down a small field of corn successively for four years and says that the yield of corn on the ground has steadily increased. Still another Iowa man believes that "it is a cheap way to husk corn, a convenient way to feed corn and an excellent way to fertilize the field with a product that is usually wanted. 'The practice is becoming general here.' A friend of mine here has had a field hogged down successively for eight years. The last crop was more than usually good. His hogs did not contract the cbi was in the neighborhood. Educating the Colt Why frighten a young horse into a nervous state that will make it a fidgety creature all its life?

An important point to remember is that a small lamb is not able to take all the milk a big milker yields, and if it remains in the bag the ewe suffers and begins to give less. The right way is to milk out daily what the lamb does need until it is old enough to use all of it. Then the flow will not shrink and the lamb will thrive.

It takes celery seed five or six weeks to sprout, and this means that seed that is intended for early planting should be sown at once in a box in a warm window. It pays to whitewash, ventilate and properly light the stables; to brush and curry cows, to use clean and well covered utensils, to cool milk quickly and to have a cool place for the milk. The length of stem of the bulbous plants that are now at their prime may be increased by placing a coil of paper about the stem just as the blossom spike is putting forth. The stalk seeks the light at the tip of the paper, hence stretches out. As a rule, a pure bred animal will fetch from one-half to twice as much as a scrub, and often times much more than this. In this connection it should be kept in mind that it requires but little more feed and care to produce the pure bred than the scrub. There is no confession that the writer is acquainted with surpasses in deliciousness that made by dropping hot maple syrup, boiled nearly to the sugaring point, on a slab of clean ice. It is a treat that only those who have had pure maple syrup know the full meaning of. While the hog has the reputation of being one of the dirtiest of farm animals, probably because of its inborn instinct to seek a wallow on a hot day, it is nevertheless one of the cleanest of animals in the matter of keeping its sleeping quarters dry and clean. In this respect it excels the horse, cow or sheep. Whatever may be the outcome of the rigid tests that are being given to the Friedmann consumption cure, it should be well for folks having a tendency to tubercular trouble to still keep in mind the necessity of getting in as large quantities as possible wholesome food, fresh air and direct sunshine. If the cure pans out they will be just so much better off. It is reported that 36,000,000 ladybugs have been captured by the California state insectary and will be shipped as needed to the various sections of the state in order to save the melon crops. The ladybugs prey on the melon aphids, which attack and destroy the young vines. Hop growers in other sections will also be furnished with these useful insects. Caked or inflamed udder may be greatly helped by milking the bag dry, rubbing it gently, get thoroughly, for some time and then applying and rubbing in a mixture of lard and turpentine. Sweet oil is as good as or better than lard. The rubbing of the udder and the application of the ointment should be repeated night and morning after milking until the swelling and hardness disappear. Wonders can be done with scrubby and unthrifty looking shots by giving them tankage with their corn at the rate of one part of the concentrate to fine or ten parts of the cereal. Often, however, before this balancing of the ration will have the desired effect it is necessary to rid the pligs of worms. For this purpose lye is excellent, given in small quantities in the slop, or any of several commercial worm medicines are good. One of the chief troubles with the bulk of the beef that is sold over the counter in the small town meat market is that it is sold and eaten altogether too soon after it is killed. Instead of a day or two days to cure, it would be vastly more tender if it could hang up in a cooler for three or four weeks. The average meat market does not have sufficient storage room for this, hence the present block to table method persists. The peony is one of the oldest of the known cultivated flowers. It is mentioned as far back as the days of Troy, when one of her physicians used the roots of the plant for medicine. Later the seeds were taken just before going to bed to prevent nightmare. The roots of the plant have been used until recent times as a medicine. Today there are in cultivation 2,000 named varieties.
