Synod Closes Sunday Night
with Sermon by Rev.' B. J.
Gregg—Ministers to supply
Local Pulpits Tomorrow
morning—First Visit of Synod
to this City
The Atlantic Synod which convened at the Butler Presbyterian church Wednesday night is attracting much attention among the ministers of the city. The opening sermon preached by Rev. Thos. Ayers of Chester, S. C. was based on the headship of Christ and made a deep impression on the large and appreciative audience. Rev. Geo. A. Caesar was elected moderator and Rev. A. U. Frierson and Rev. C. H. Uggams temporary clerk. The welcome addresses were all very ably delivered, Rev. Singleton speaking in behalf of the local ministry and Rev. Rockwell S. Brank in behalf of the Independent Presbyterian church.
Elder Patterson of St. Louis, Mo., was present and represented the Board of Foreign Missions- The attendance at the synod is very gratifying, there being seventy five ministers present and thirty laymen. The Atlantic Synod is forty years old and this its first meeting in Savannah is among the best in the history of the body. The sessions of the synod will close Sunday. In the morning the Rev. Geo. A. Caesar, the moderator, will preach, his subject being "The personality of Christ," and in the evening the Rev. E. J. Gregg will speak.
Rev. S. T. Redd, pastor of Butler Presbyterian church, has been very much pleased with the hospitality shown the visiting delegates and everything has been arranged most conveniently for the guests.
Dear Sir:—In your last issue appeared extracts from a letter mailed to two dozen pastors of city churches by the Negro Business League setting forth the necessity of having them co-operate with us in the movement to stimulate race enterprise among our people in and around Sayannah.
We are glad to note that results followed at once as is evident by the fact that a number of the most prominent and influential ministers of the city paid the fee of one dollar and joined at our next meeting, which was held on the 27th inst. Among those who joined might be mentioned Rev. J. L. Taylor, pastor of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of St. Philip A. M. E. church, Rev. L. A. Townsley, pastor of St. Philip Monumental church; Rev. E. H. Quo, president of the Emancipation Association; Rev. D. Augustine Reid pastor of the Second Baptist church; Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. church and Rev. J. S. Irby. All of the ministers who were present took part in the discussion of the evening and spoke very encouragingly of the Negro business enterprises and the need of liberal support of them by the people. These gentlemen are not talkers only, they practice what they preach. In fact the feature of the meeting was the recounting by the different members what they had purchased from the others since the last meeting.
The new members enrolled, the attendance and the enthusiasm exceeded by far any previous meeting. It was easily the greatest meeting we have held. Thanks to the clergy. We are assured that other pastors will join at our next meeting November 5, 1913.

Near Completion
HOUSE WILL BE OPENED ABOUT MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER
New House To Be One of the Most Modern Play Houses in South Owned by Negroes—Messrs. Russell and Owens Have Closed Six Months Successful Run.
The new Pekin Theatre is now nearing completion and when it is opened to the public it will be one of the finest playhouses in the country owned and controlled by Negroes.
The new house will have all the latest improvements and will more than double the accommodations of the old house. To be exact, the new house will seat 1100 persons and the arrangements are such as will afford the patrons excellent opportunity of seeing every thing on the stage from any angle in the house. It is expected by Manager Styles that by the middle of next month every thing will be in readiness for the opening of the new house and he expects to give the theater goers some of the best vaudeville acts that are to be found in the country.
The decorations for the new house are very beautiful. The curtains, drops and other ornaments show a very artistic taste and when the entire house is completed there is no other word which will describe it than "beautiful."
Messrs. Russell and Owens, who have had charge of the shows since March, closed their contract last week and during their unprecedented stay here the house has been playing to crowds every night. They have made many friends here and their departure will be much regretted by them. Mr. Lew'Kenner, of New Orieans, La., is now in charge of the stage.

Standard Life Making Good Progress
TOTAL INSURANCE OF $465,- 467 WRITTEN IN THREE MONTHS
The Company Began Business in June of this year—Insurance Commissioner of the State Takes Keen Interest in Growth and Expansion of Company
The Standard Life of Atlanta, the first old line legal reserve life insurance company organized by colored men to write colored risks exclusively, closed its first three months and four days' business on October 1st with the following results:
Total insurance written $465,467 of which $235,717 is industrial, $154,500 ordinary and $75,250 intermediate. There are 1,332 policy holders in industrial and 286 other. The weekly debit is $154.10 and the premium income for ordinary $7,751.98. The assets have increased about $5,000 in the three months and now amount to $126,245.30 The company is operating in four states, viz: Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky and will apply for admission to Texas.
The company began business on June 26, 1913, and it must be admitted that its growth and progress in three months has been remarkable, considering that it is in an entirely new field of development. It has met with ready response among the men of its race. H. E. Perry, the president, is reported to have called on ninety-nine colored men in Memphis in four days and closed up ninety-seven of them for insurance. The fact that the company was wholly organized and is officered entirely by colored men appeals to the pride and sentiment of the race, with the result that they are quick to respond. General Wm. A. Wright, insurance commissioner of Georgia, has given the plans of organization, policy forms, contracts, and so forth, special care and supervision, and is taking a keen interest in the growth and expansion of the company. He is determined that the interest of policyholders shall be carefully and fully guarded.—The Southern Underwriter.
E expressions of Regret At New-
bern's Loss of Rev. Taylor
The following letter speaks in part of the great esteem in which Rev. J. L. Taylor, new rector of St. Stephien's is held, in Newbern, N. C. Aside from this many other letters of regret from the members of his church, the vestry and citizens at large were received by him.
607 Redeross St.,
Wilmington, N. C., 9-18, 1913
Dear Doctor Taylor:
Through the courtesy and kind invitation of the "Vestry of St. Cyprian's," I heard of their "Parting Literary" arranged to do you honor. I regret exceeding I can not be present on such a loving occasion. I feel highly honored in being permitted to do you honor, one whom I can say, in the true meaning of the word, is a friend indeed. While other tongues may be permitted to tell your virtues to waiting friends and churchmen, the story of your career, none can surpass me in honest appreciation of your mental and moral worth. Brief as my acquaintance has been, it has afforded me precious opportunities to enjoy your rare gifts of mind and heart. The moments spent with you must ever remain among my most treasured experiences.
Praying that God may add many, many years of happiness, holiness and health to you and yours, and that "St Cyprian's" may yet welcome you home again to your field and labor of love, and that I, your brother in the bonds of Christian hope and love, may shake your good right hand again in Newbern,
I remain, sincerely yours,
(Pastor) Page Shepard.

Rev. W. L. Jones Passes Away
PASTOR OF FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH WAS ILL ONLY A WEEK
Was Widely Known Throughout South—Funeral Services to be Held Sunday Morning at 10 O'clock at the Church—Interment to beat Norcross, Georgia.
Reverend Willis L. Jones, pastor of the First African Baptist church, Franklyn Square, died at his residence, 715 West Broad street on Wednesday night about 10:30 o'clock. He had been seriously sick only about a week and his death was quite a shock to the entire community.
The deceased was one of the most widely known Baptist ministers of the state and was one of leaders in that denomination. He had been in charge of the local church for nearly five years, coming to this city in January 1909. Rev. Jones was 54 years old and was born at Norcross, Ga. His first ministerial charged began at the Salem Baptist church in Gwinnett county in 1878.
He graduated from the theological department of the Atlanta Baptist College in 1889 and pastored at Roswell, Atlanta and Savannah. In Atlanta he rebuilt Mt. Zion and built Beulah Baptist churches.
Among the more prominent accomplishments of Rev. Jones in this city were the paying off $7,000 mortgage on the First African Baptist church, the renovating of the interior of the church, regaining many of the old members who had strayed away, bringing the National B. Y. P. U. congress to this city and assisting in general in the religious work in the city. He was married in 1878 and is survived by a wife, seven children, four grand children, a mother and two sisters.
The funeral services will take place at the First African Baptist church on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, after which the body will be taken to Norcross for interment.
Allen Union League
Allen Union League , composed of all the A. M. E. churches of the city, met last Sunday at 5 p.m. at Bethel church. Several members and visitors were present.

The meeting was full of enthuseasm, and old time songs were sung. Next meetsng will be held at St. James [A. M. E. Tabernacle, the 3rd Sunday in November at 4 p.m.
W. L. Vickers, Pres. Miss Sadie Lightburn, Sec.
F. B. B. Church

They made a fine appearance and rendered quite a nice program consisting of song and papers in memory of their dead members. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalms 19. His text was from 1 Cor. 5:1. The sermon was a beautiful tribute to those, who have recently crossed the river. The choir sang "Far Away" Rev. Wright lined the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus." The society donated to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Attend our services, they are beneficial.
St. Philip Church

Among the Masons
which, far out of sight, lies a land
mysterious andsilent, all unknown
tous. We see the white sails, less
and loss distinctly, of the ships
bear away from us to that other
dand, those whom we have known
_so long and loved so well. Soon
the last shadowy, ghost-like gleam
vanishes and the vast restless
ocean, with its solemn loneliness
oppresses us. There are no sails
coming back with messages of
loving remembrance from the re-
mote regions of that voiceless and
immeasurable waste of waters.
But we know that tho land of
promise is there beyond the broad
expanse of ocean, and God, ‘in
whom Masons put their trust, has
impressed ‘upen their souls the
profound convictions, ever legible
.and ineffaceable. His revelation
of the truth tous, when we in turn
shall go away across the waters
we shall then see and know again
the dead whose memories are dear,
and the tokens of their affection
precious to all. —Albert Pike.
NEVER BE IN A HURRY
Ono of tne great evils existing
Gn the city lodges to-day is being
jn ahurry to admit and “rush”
candidates through the degrees.
Men usually value highest those
things which are not easily ob-
‘tained. We should say to those
who seek our privileges: “‘1f you
measure up to our standards, and
if your coming among us will not
-disturb the harmony already ex-
isting among our members, then
in our own way, and in our time,
we will admit you to participate
in our labors’ This attitude of
independence will give the frater-
nity more strength and stability
than if we yielded to every re-
quest made for admission or ad-
vancement.—The Masonic Sun.
DUTY OF PAYING DUES
A prolonged observation of
lodge conditions and a_considera-
ble acquaintance with the way that
members regard their relation to
the lodge has led us to the conclns-
ion that no man should be allowed
to become a Mason who has not
been previously informed of cer-
tain obligations in a Masonic
lodge. One of which is that ho
must pay his annual dues prompt-
ly. It is a shameful fact that
some Masons are absolutely indif-
ferent to this duty and cause the
finance committee of their lodge
much anxiety that would be avoi:t-
ed if every member did his duty
in this particular.
Itisno doubt true that there
aro members in nearly every lodge
whose financial circumstances
never warranted their admission
to Freemasonry, and that the
money paid by them for the de-
grees was taken from what right-
fully belonged to their dependent
families. It wasnote friendly act
to propose such for Masonry, nor
is a lodge benefited by receing
such mambers. They are almost
certain to become delinquent and
dependent on the charity of the
lodge. They cannot expect sym-
pathy which is gladly extended to
the brother who becomes depend-
ent by sickness and adverse cir-
custences, but who did his share
in his prosperous days in sustain.
ing the Gnancial integrity of his
lodge.
The delinquents mentioned are
less guilty however, than the Ma-
son who cau pay his dues but who
neglects to do so from loss of
interest. Such Masons discredit
Masonry and impair its influence.
We wonder why they ever sought
admission to its ranks. Thay were
no doubt attracted by its social
reputation or supposed -business
benefits rather than by its morali
ty. When they discover that 1t
tenets and mission of usefulnes:
were on a plane above their-leve
they lost interest, neglected the
meetings and forgot to pay thei
dues. When bills are presentec
to such brethren all kinds of ex
cusesareoffered. Not infrequent
ly they blame the Secretary fo:
their negligence, not knowing b
has tried to inform them of thei
ohiieatian. ac itis their habit t
policy. and many hearts have died
and suffered when a word would
have healed them.~Exchange:*."
WHAT A MASON SHOULD BE.
A Mason should be -an‘ honest,
virtuous, brave, intelligent, be-
nevolent, charitable man—a lover
lof the arts and sciences—with a
belief in God, ahope of immor-
tality, a good citizen, a providing
father, a true friend of enlighten-
ed progress; a lover of law and a
preserver of orderand a promoter
of harmony, a protector of yirtue,
ever willing to help the defenseless
widow and orphan, and should be
temperate, controlling hjs passions
and subduing all inordinate desire
to conform to the world, the flesh
and the devil—with ail these safe-
guards in mind he may live_re-
pected and die regretted. With
a good, true and noble character
as a monument of his mora] worth
and integrity that should distin-
guish every‘Freemason and enable
him to enter the sanctum sanctor-
um of our Divine Master clothed
in the royal ro!es of righteous-
ness, wielding the golden scepter
of His love and mercy, and wear-
ing the jeweled crown of His
many virtues.—G. B. Wright.
*
Masorry will liye and move in
its majesty and in its beauty, in
spite of the lethargy and _indiffer-
ence of a part of its membtrs, but
if every Mason would be pro-
foundly impressed with the beau-
tiful principles of our order, and
for the ontire year live and act
strictly in accord with these prin-
ciples, Masonry would receive
such an impetus, and its growth
and prosperity would be of such
character as to astonish the most
sanguine and optimistic of its
yotaries-
RECOMMENDING CANDIDATES
Too mnch care cannot be,exe T
cised in recommending canidates
for admission to our lodges, and
the laudable desire to see the lodge
grow and expand should not be al-
lowed to influence members when
endorsing petitions for initiation.
It should always be borne in mind
that ourorder is the most an-
cient and honorable institutioun
ever devised by man; it bas been
handed down to us asa sacred trust
and onus devolves the duty of
‘moaintaining its reputation, and up-
holding its character by not only
practicing its preceptsand profiting
by its teachings, but by rightly ex-
cluding those who, by their moral
unfitness, prove themselves un-
worthy to be received among us.
Above all the ancient landmark
which forbids improper solicitation
should be kept inviolate. ‘The
applicant for admission into Ma-
sonry must come forward of his
own free will and accord, and it is
& gross injustice to him as well as
a breach of Masonic law, to ask
apy person, no matter how eligi-
ble he may be. to join the order.
One.who has so been solicited is
compelled, on the very threshold
of the lodge room, to either lie
outright, or jeopardize his pros-
pects of adyancing further; and
the candidate who has been im-
portuned cannot have that high
opinion of the order which is held
by him who comes voluntarily.—

ALFALFA AND SWINE.
Not the moldy old maxims, away out of date, but the porkers we raise, that are paying the freight. They roam through the pastures, red, white, spotted, black, and the wealth they are making fills many a sack. And still opportunity knocks at our door. With the millions we ship, there's a market for more.
On seas of alfalfa, in shadow and sheen, float cargoes of feed through the billows of green, and again and again on that marvelous tide the ripples of richness flash, wondrous and wide. Alfalfa, sweet emblem of plenty and charm, may the wave of thy verdure flood every farm!
Time comes when each acre must yield without flaw. Production must double is nature's grim law. The cities will teem with vast millions that toll, and life, with its hopes, must depend on the soil. What methods more wise could the farmer combine than raising alfalfa and fattening swine?—Brad in Kansas Farmer.
DOUBLE YOUR EGG CROP.
Use of the Trap Nest May Do the Triok—Right Mating Neesary.
In Farm and Fixide a contributor says that peanut raisins can practically double their production if they persistently use the trap nest. Following is an extract from his article:
"For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the trap nest I will explain in detail its purpose. The trap nest is a nest so contrived that when the hen enters she springs a 'trap' which closes the door and holds her captive until she is relaigned by the diligent. The nest is of sufficient size to allow the hen plenty of space to move around in or she would be apt to break the car."
"By taking the hems of highest trap neat record and mating them with makes descended from heavy layers you will lay the foundation of a good strain of heavy layers. By careful trap nest culling and with the same care in breeding, year after year, you will build your flock up to a high state of efficiency.
"It is not at all uncommon for flocks that are trap nested to average 180 eggs per hen per year. At the same time these flocks not infrequently contain individuals that have a record of 200 to 230 eggs each per year.
"The lest figures at hand from the department of agriculture declare that the average farm hen lays less than eighty eggs per year. Sixty eggs per hen per year would probably be overestimating the average uncared for farm hen. At any rate, the great difference between 200 to 230 eggs and sixty or eighty eggs is enough to think about seriously."
FOR COMING COLD DAYS.
Plan Now to Keep Your Cow Comfortable in Cold Weather.

hind the forelegs. Tie another around the body in front of udder, then make a crupper.
Tie another around each fore leg and fasten at top, then a rope around neck. Now sew two gunny sacks together and slip them under these ropes. Take a darning needle and twine and fasten on sides and top.
When the sacks are worn out out the fastenings and slip two more under. A good blanket will last no longer than the cheap one described.—Farm and Fireside.
WITH THE HONEY MAKERS.
By no means store comb honey in the cellar, as it is sure to sweat and become molly. Better put it in the attic, as the heat can in nowise harm it, provided, of course, that it isn't hot enough to melt it.
The best and most profitable way for the average beekeeper to dispose of unfinished sections is to extract all that will not sell as second grade for as much as extracted honey will bring and use them for bait sections next year.
In preparing the hives for the late flow proceed in precisely the same manner as for the early flow, using the same supers as formerly, only, of course, putting in new section boxes with foundation for comb honey to take the places of the completed sections taken from them.
The extracted honey when stored in cans or barrels can be placed in cellars or other convenient repositories and unless bottled early will in all probability granulate as soon as the nights become cold, but this granulation in no sense hurts it, and the heating required to liquefy it for bottling in a large measure prevents further granulation.-Farm Journal.
Because.
There are many splendid things men can't do because they never try.—Chicago Record-Herald.
Making the Little Farm Pay
SMALL fruits pay well and afford great pleasure to the family on a little farm. They are ideal products where the place is small and situated near a city, so that they may be sold
SMALL fruits pay well and afford great pleasure to the family on a little farm. They are ideal products where the place is small and situated near a city, so that they may be sold to families or hotels and restaurants. Much waste and loss of profit will be avoided by delivering to private customers.
An advantage in raising berries comes from the quick growth as well as from the small acreage required. It takes only a year to get started with small fruits. They can be grown in an orchard and will return a large amount of money in the years when peach and apple trees are coming to maturity. The more this orchard ground is stirred the better, and the cultivation of berries is of actual benefit to the large fruits. A fair yield of strawberries will bring $200 to $300 an acre, according to market conditions. Raspberries return 20 to 50 per cent less.
Small fruit requires a rich, well drained soil. A light, deep loam is best, and an abundance of well rotted barnyard fertilizer should be plowed in. Boggy land is not favorable to any kind of fruits, but nevertheless moisture is needed, and unless rain is plentiful it will pay to carry water or convey it by means of hose. Plant at the proper time in hills or hedges and keep the soil loose with hoe or cultivator. Planch on all blossoms the first season. Mulch with straw and manure in the fall. Strawberries are hardy and prolific, but skilled attention will pay in extent and quality of production. With a view to successful marketing both early and late varieties should be cultivated.
Raspberries are next in importance. There is not so much tedious work connected with growing raspberries as strawberries, and the profits are not quite so large. Set the plants in the spring in rows six feet apart and three feet apart in the rows. This gives plenty of room for cultivating, which must be done thoroughly throughout the growing season. Some experts do not stake raspberries, as is the custom with most growers. When the tips are about two feet high they are pinched back. This causes laterals to be sent out along the stems. In the spring at trimming time these laterals are cut back so as to leave about six inches, and they hold up all the berries they can properly mature.
The red varieties do not need the summer pruning, but are pruned back to about eighteen inches in the spring. Currants and gooseberries require almost the same treatment and can be considered together. One or two year old plants are best and should be set in rows four feet apart each way so that they may be cultivated both ways. This method insures thorough and easy cultivation. They should be cultivated frequently so as to have a good soil mulch during the growing season. It is best to grow the plants in bush form and trim out very little, only the surplus and deadwood.
It is very important to kill all currant worms with some poisonous spray as soon as they appear. If this is neglected the bushes will soon be destroyed.
When a producer has established a reputation for having a good quality of fruit and giving full measure there will be no difficulty in securing customers. If the product exceeds the demand of private patrons it is always possible to ship to stores or commission houses. Bear in mind, however, that the selling end of the business is important and try to arrange in advance for private customers or retail merchants to take the whole outfit.
Convenient Chicken Roost.
Select two four inch pieces six feet long. Lay tham parallel and nail five crosspieces, three feet long and three inches wide, to these. The legs may be made of 2 by 4 stuff the desired length. By means of long spikes secure them to the parallel pieces. Place this in roosting quartars for chickens and they will soon be perching upon it at night.—Lowa Homestead.
When we plant a tree we are doing what we can to make our planet a more wholesome and happier dwelling place for those who come after us, if not for ourselves.—Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Luck

A Madman's Strange Belief.
An unfortunate maniac was confined in one of the Scottish lunatic asylums, his particular infirmity being an unshakable belief that every day was Christmas day and that he was dining sumptuously on turkey or roast beef and a good slice of plum pudding. His real diet, however, was of the plainest, he being served twice daily with a dish of oatmeal porridge. After daily describing to his attendants the pleasures he had tasted in his cut of turkey or what not he as regularly added. "Yet, somehow or other, everything that I eat tastes of porridge." This story it was which gave rise to the saying. "As palatable as the madman's porridge."
Fish, Chicken and Veal.
Baw pullet, raw veal and raw fish make the graveyard fat. This is hundreds of years old. A New York caterer (perhaps the most efficient in the city) said to me: "There are three important articles of food that must under no circumstances be served underdone. They are fish, chicken and veal. By chicken I mean all poultry of a domestic nature. All game birds should be rare. You want to be a little careful about meat tos. Give it plenty of cooking."—New York Press.
Smuggler: Philanthropy
At Broadmoor and Perth, England, the criminal lunatics have a free supply of the most exquisite pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. In fact, they smoke far finer stuff than the average rich man. Yet all this good tobacco costs the government nothing. The smugglers of England pay for the smoking of the criminal insane. It is from her confiscated smuggled tobacco that England fills the tobacco boxes of Perth and Broadmoor.—London Telegraph.
Mapmaking.
The earliest maps of which we have any knowledge were made in Egypt. They were wooden tablets, on which were traced land and sea, roads, rivers, highways, etc. Marinus of Tyre, 150 A. D., was the first to attempt a map on scientific principles. The maps in use by the Greeks and Romans were fairly accurate, so far as they went, but those in use during the middle ages were alarmingly inaccurate. It is only within recent years, say since the middle of the last century, that it was possible to make a complete and reliable map of the world, and even yet the best map is subject to slight changes—New York American.
Potter Wasps at Work.
The family eumenidae, or solitary wasps, contain some curious worka. Some are miners and dig tiny tunnels in the earth; some are carpenters and cut channels in wood and then divide the space into chambers by partitions of mud; some build oval or globelike mud nests on branches or twigs. This home may be partitioned into several tiny rooms, into which are put various small insects captured by the mother wasp and upon which the young wasps feed.
A Difficult Assignment.
Not long ago a cub reporter on one of the Chicago dallies was assigned by the city editor to cover a meeting of the board of trustees of a public library. "Bring a story of about four hundred words," said the editor.
At a late hour that night, this story not being forthcoming, the youngstar was sent for.
"How about that story of the board meeting?" asked the editor.
"It isn't finished yet. You told me to make 400 words of it. So far I have managed to get only 800."
"What did the board do?"
"They met, called the roll and adjourned until Tuesday evening."-Lippincott's Magazine.
Reduced Him.
A London advertising expert was praising in New York the change that has come over the advertisement. "To advertising, as in other things," he said, "it has been found that honesty pays, and today, throughout the world, the successful advertiser is modest and conservative in his statements. Advertising is no longer mistrusted. Things are no longer as they were in Phat's day. He welged over 400 pounds. Well, he saw an ad, in the paper—'Fat folks reduced, $5'—and he answered it." "Did he get any reply?" asked a listener. "Oh, yes; it was just as advertised." "That's good. How much was he reduced?" "Why, just as the advertisement said-$5."
No Wonder She Likes Aunt Mary. The small daughter in a family where there are a number of brothers and sisters went on a visit to an aunt where there are no children. She was quite carried off her feet by the attention which she received, and when her mother arrived to take her home she was very unwilling to go.
"Why do you want to stay with Aunt Mary?" inquired the mother. "She curls my hair three times a day," replied the child. "and she dresses me to beat the band!"—Kansas City Star.

The great ovation tendered Hon. J. C. Napier, the retiring Register of the Treasury, and his wife on their return to their home city, Nashville, Tenn., on the morning of Oct. 15th, by some of Nashville's most energetic and successful Negro citizens, is illustrative to a marked degree of the growing tendency on the part of our people to recognize and honor true greatness when found among themselves. That the retiring Register of the Treasury is one of the foremost and progressive leaders of the race is conceded by all. During his entire official life at the city of Washington, he proved himself to be not only a capable and painstaking official but one who was true to each and every interest of his own people. Being Register of the Treasury of the United States was too small a job for J. C. Napier when as such it was required of him to sign one of the nefarious segregation orders said to be so plentiful recently in the various governmental departments at Washington. Well did he know that to refuse to sign such an order from his chief meant his official decapitation, yet he preferred official death to the forming of any act on his part that would bring or help to bring embarrassment or humiliation to his people. For the manly way in which he faced the situation that confronted him as Register of the Treasury, Mr. Napier has received the plaudits of his people throughout the United States. It was indeed proper and timely then for the citizens of his home town, Nashville, to show to the world that they yielded to no one when it came to respect and admiration for one of their citizens who had served his race and country with so much distinction. The citizens of Nashville are to be congratulated for the way in which they gave honor to one of her illustrious sons. The Hon. J. C. Napier ought to be congratulated on being a citizen of a community whose citizens give honor to their prophet whenever they are deserving of such.

That the words of advice which emanate from the great wizard of Tuskegee, Dr. Booker T. Washington, ring truer and nobler with each succeeding year, is evinced quite plainly by his recent letter to the Negro press in which he deplored the rather wholesale manner in which Negro crimes and criminals are displayed to the world by the daily press and urged unanimity of action on the part of the Negro press to see to it that there is a wider dissemination of wholesome news concerning our people by the daily press of the country. In making this plea at this time, Dr. Washington has shown, as he has done on various occasions, that he is a close student of the needs of our people and that he is fully conversant with the many handicaps with which they are encircled at the present time. That we are the victims of an over zealous press to herald to the world our vices (and we must admit that we, like others, have many) can not be denied. While it is true that here and there may be found notable exceptions on the daily press, to give the Negro a square deal by giving more space to his achievements than to his failures, yet the fact remains, as Dr. Washington so aptly implies, that in the majority of instances, Negro criminality is given first place of honor as display matter. To say that our people suffer as a result of this any one will admit. As Dr. Washington suggested, the achievement of our people in art, science, religion and the other fields of endeavor should be heralded to the world with a greater frequency and scope than it is being done at the present time. While it is true that we furnish quite a few of the criminals of this country, at the same time is it equally true that a large proportion of the constructive workers of our country come from the ranks of our people. The many
thousands of small but lucrative business enterprises owned and operated by our own people; the large army of laborers who are drawn from the ranks of our people and who are each day by the sweat of their brow, yea muscles too, adding to the material prosperity of our country and the great constructive work now being done by our fraternal and civic societies, only attest in a small way what our people are striving to do for the good of the whole people. We believe that a more general manifestation of approval on the part of the daily press will go a long way toward encouraging our people, and stimulating them to greater effort in behalf of their country, for it must be remembered, that, judging by the years of freedom, we are yet a child race seeking to establish ourselves among our' elders. If we do that which merits approval, then we should receive the same. Otherwise we may grow discouraged and despondent to a marked degree. Dr. Washington has again struck the nail on the head and at the proper time. We sincerely trust that the effect of his words will result in a more general disposition on the part of the daily press to laud our virtues rather than our vices to the reading and thinking world.
Opening of the Fort Valley High And Industrial School. The opening of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School on Wednesday, Oct. 1st, was of unusual interest to those who have watched the delopment of the school. The attendance was much larger than in former years and the educational spirit is increasing throughout the entire community.
There were present on the opening day, Prof. F. M. Green, Co. School Superintendent and Prof. G. D. Godard, the new Rural Supervisor for colored schools in the State of Georgia, Revs. Killins, Jefferson, Cochran and a number of the patrons of the town as well as those who came from the rural communities to enter their sons and daughters as boarders. The speeches by Profs. Godard and Green were inspiring.
The plan is to put Houston rural schools with the Fort Valley High and Industrial School as a center, in the lead of all other schools in the State for thorough training in the English branches and along industrial lines. The churches and lodge halls as school houses are no longer wanted and the people are planning for the building of modern and neat school houses. The people at Grovania have taken the lead in this work.
Principal Hunt left the school on the 16th for New York to be present at a meeting of the trustees to be held there and to serve the school in other ways. A plan is now on foot at the school to raise one thousand ($1,000) dollars on thanksgiving day. Prizes are offered those raising certain amounts in the form of scholarships ranging from one to five months. These are open to Sunday-schools, committees or individuals. Considerable interest is being aroused and already boys and girls are giving in their names as contestants.
Besides the regular academic work the beys in the classes in carpentry, bricklaying, plastering and the farmer boys are going forward. The girls in the cooking and sewing classes are losing no time. These classes this year are full of enthusiasm and good results are expected from them. The Fort Valley-High and Industrial School trains for efficiency along all walks of life. Of the graduates of the past year one has entered the Meharry school for the study of dentistry and the others are teaching. Already good reports are coming in concerning their ability as teachers and willingness to serve and the beautiful service with which they have entered into their work.
A Beautiful Wedding
There was on Sunday before last at St. Anthony's church as solemn and impressive a ceremony as ever had been witnessed at West Savannah. At 5 p.m. started the joyful wedding party, Mr. Alexander Rivers with his youthful bride, Miss Addie Robertson, accompanied by the waiters, parents brothers and visitors from Hudson Hill, the bride's parental residence, and wended in a slow procession to St. Anthony's church. At their arrival the church was so crowded that it became a difficult task to open a passage for the happy couple to advance to their benches in the sanctuary. The organ and choir, presided by Mrs. Miller, welcomed their arrival with an appropriate hymn and then Father Zimmerman gave an earnest allocation. The congregation hushed in deep silence listened with a kind of religious amaze-
ment when the Rev. Gentleman, with the bible in his hand, proved that the marriage contract has been elevated for Christianity by Jesus Christ to the dignity of a great sacrament, but I speak in Christ and in the church" (St. Paul Eph. V.) Quite especial stress was laid by the Rev. Father on the sacred, forever irrevocable character of the marriage tie as considered by the Catholic church. If once validly contracted, nothing short of death can ever sever that sacred bond. Nations may lawfully dissolve their treaties; merchants and companies may dissolve partnership; friends may part from each other, brothers may leave their parent's house and separate from one another but by the law of God the nuptial knot uniting husband and wife can be severed by death alone: "What God has joined together let no man put assunder" are the words of the Lord, Matt. 19:4-9.
Thus our Lord emphatically declared that the marriage contract is ratified by God himself. Consequently no man, no legislation, framed by men, can validly dissolve that sacred bond. Such was the answer that the divine Maker gave to the Pharisees who brought the question of divorce before Him. He told them plainly that such a privilege would not be conceded in the new dispensation, for: "Whosoever shall put aside his wife and shall marry another committeth adultery." Protestant denominations erroneously assert that the text, according to St. Matt., justifies an injured husband in separating from his adulterous wife and in marrying again; but the Catholic church explains the gospel in the sense that while the injured husband may obtain a separation from bed and table from the unfaithful wife, he is not freed from the marriage tie so as to marry another. This is the meaning clearly confirmed by the Evangelists Mark, Luke and St. Paul, who all prohibit divorce from marriage bond without any exemplification or exception. "Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." Luke 16:12; Mark 10:11-12; Paul Cor 7:10-11. There is no moral law affirmed more positively in the whole gospel than that law of marriage. Hence the Catholic church following the light and the law of the gospel forbids the divorced man or woman to enter into another marriage during the life of the former partner. There is no exception made neither for the lowly and humble nor for the powerful king or emperor. All the world knows that Henry VIII, king of England, wanted to separate from his lawful wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn but Pope Clement VII, whose sanction the monarch asked, sternly refused, reminding him "What God has joined together let no man put assunder." When the Emperor Napoleon I. appealed to Pius VII to dissolve the marriage which his brother Jerome had contracted with Miss Patterson of Baltimore, Md., the Pope sent him the reply "Your majesty will understand that we cannot decree the invalidity of an union which according to the word of God no power can sander."
Are there some of you who think perchance the Catholic church severe on this point? If so, bear in mind, it is not the church but her divine founder our Lord who has given the law, and indeed this law is mercy itself if compared with the terribly cruel consequences of the easy divorce as admitted by the Protestant denominations and governments. Think of the woeful anguish and miseries caused in the families by divorce. Young children are deprived of the protection of the father or the tender care of a loving mother. Rudeness, quarrels, even adulteries are like provoked and encouraged in a dissatisfied husband or wife, as these very sins will afford a pretext for a divorce. The Catholic wives and husbands give thanks to the Lord and the holy church for the irrevocable marriage bond; for this makes you queens and kings of your own household."—Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore.
The address ended, the happy couple were joined in holy marriage by the Father Zimmerman with all the beautiful ceremonies of the holy church. That done, the newly married and all the big crowd assisted as at the devotion called "Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament." All seemed like under a heavenly spell though indeed the greater part of the same Catholics could not account for their feelings as not sufficient time was left to explain it fully before it began. All left the quaint, neat church, fully edified and with the happiest recollection Jos. Zimmerman

A Short Review
The employment of Negro men and women in the Industrial Insurance Business within the last year, by the various Negro Insurance Companies in Savannah alone has increased twenty-five per cent. This is just what the Ga..Mutual is trying to get you to see.
It was Binstool who wisely said:
YOU can be a stalwart hero
In the fierce of the fight
You can lead the land and onward
Battling for the Truth and Right;
You can ever be a leader
In life's moving caravan
Or be just listless plodder—
It's up to you old man"

[This matter must not be reprinted with-
out special permission.]
That section is bound to prosper in which the number of silos used is increasing and the number of dairy cows increasing and their quality being improved.
Nine times out of ten the pupil who causes most trouble in school is the one that runs wild at home—that is, has not been brought up to have a proper regard for parental authority and discipline.
It is fair to assume that any boy who prefers to stay at home and cultivate corn when there is a circus in town is cut out for a farmer and that it would be injudicious to coax him into taking up any other vocation.
Every farm should have its patch of rye. This will not only furnish good late fall and early spring pasture for the hogs and cattle, but if plowed under in the spring will furnish a humus of which most soils are much in need.
Onions, potatoes and other root crops keep best in cellars in which the temperature is a few degrees above the freezing point. Squashes and cucumbers, however, will keep longer if they are put where it is dry and rather warm, a condition which is usually found in the pantry.
For the northern portion of the corn belt, where it is nip and tuck to mature a crop between spring and fall frosts, it is an important point to select for seed ears those that are low growing and early in muring. This means that the succeed g crop will be of this general character.
Cowhorn turmails are not only valuable when plowed under as a green manure, but they bore down deep into the soil and tend to make it loose and friable. Furthermore, they make use of potash and phosphoric acid, which other plants cannot utilize, and thus their decay is useful to the soil.
In estimating the returns from any given prospective enterprise it is well to cut the highest estimate in two. In this case the actual results will often exceed the more moderate expectations and satisfaction be felt, while if the returns are considerably less than the higher estimate there is sure to be disappointment.
The president of an electric company who lives near Libertyville, Ill., had on exhibition this year at the Lake county fair a display of vegetables that he had grown with the aid of electrical currents, which were sent through the soil by wires strung at intervals. The vegetables that are produced with this electrical stimulus are remarkably large and thrifty.
Some pretty good authorities on corn hold that the fact that an ear is not covered clear to the tip with kernels is no reason for discarding it for seed purposes, their contention being that the plant started out to produce a larger and more vigorous ear of corn than the soil and weather conditions prevailing permitted. This idea is not in accordance with the advice usually given as to selecting for seed ears only those that are filled with kernels to and over the tip, but there seems to be some reason in it nevertheless.
The "miracle" wheat, about which a good deal appeared in the papers a couple of years ago, is said by some who have been investigating the matter to have come originally from Egypt, it being taken from that country to Russia and thence to Alaska, whence it was brought to this country. One Oregon farmer who has been giving this wheat a test reports a yield of eighty-four bushels per acre, but he attributes this yield more largely to the character of the soil in which it was grown and the special care given it than any factor savoring of the miraculous. In this case the wheat was many headed and grew to a height of about five feet.
Many farmers make the mistake of moving to town in their advanced years when they have accumulated a sufficient competence to guard them against the demands of the rainy day. Too often this move is accompanied by a radical change from much to practically no physical exercise, which has in many cases disastrous physical results. Added to this is the further fact that many such farmers, not realizing the cost of privileges which the town affords, are against any improvements which increase their taxes and as a result of this acquire a reputation of being fossils and tightwads because they do not like to see their taxes increase. On the farm there is usually something which the retired farmer will think needs doing, and in the doing of it he will be the better physically and in every other way.

For the benefit of any of our readers
who may be pestered with chiggers
we repeat here a remedy printed in
these notes some time ago. Get a few
‘eunces of hyposulphite of soda, which
can be bought at most any drug store
for 10 or 15 cents a pound, and make
a saturated solution with it—that is,
@issolve in a small quantity of water
all that it will hold. Bathe the spots
where the chiggers have burrowed
with this solution. It seems to peno-
trate to them and Kill them. No harm-
fal effect comes from the applidation
ef the solution, but only a slight smart-
ing of the parts that have been scratch-
ed or irritated.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Pe. xix, 14—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
I have endeavored in our past stud-
Jes to touch upon a few of the many
things not included in the portions ay
signed in our legsons, but have proba-
‘bly passed by more than I bave men-
tioned, such as the different offerings,
the annual feasts, the year of jubilee,
the great day of atonement and others.
In chapter xix, just preceding our les-
son chapter for today, we have the re-
markable ordinance of the red helfer,
or the Lord’s provision for cleansing,
by tho way, by the ashes of the helfer
mixed with running water and sprio-
led by byssop. upon the person to be
eleemed To my mind, the central
@apters of the first five books are
Gen. xxil, the lamb provided; Hr. xif,
tha pessever lamb; Ler. xvi, the an-
ual stoacment; Nom. xtr, the ref
Beifor; Dent. xvill, the prephet like
ute Meses, fer in cack we see the
Lord Jesus Obrist In a specia} manner.
Tks yoesent lesson chapter brings us
te the fectieth year o€ tho wilderness
sojoura aad begins with the death of
‘Miriam ta the first month and ends
With the death of Aarom at the age of
223 year, in the fifth moath (fom,
xocxiil, 38, 30). Moses died st the age
ef 120, 90 It must kevo been before
‘tbe close of that year, for there were
Jess three years’ difference in their
ages (Deut. xxxlv, 7; xxxi, 2; Mx.
viL 1).
Tt does seem too bad, as we say, that
after! all his forbearance with them
and Sntercession for them during thir-
-ty-nipe years, that in the fortieth year
he should so fall as to shut bimself out
of the land to which he had been lead-
ing them, and that neither of these
honored three, Miriam, Aaron or Moses,
should enter the land. While those
who are traly in Obrist can never per-
ish and shall surely reach home, there
is much that may be lost in the way of,
service and reward by our failures
along the road WJohn lil, 16; x, 27-29;
I Cor. ill, 415); therefore the admoni-
tion to take heed lest we lose a full
reward (II Jobn vill).
The generation which left Egypt.
603,550 men over twenty years of age,
able to go forth to war (Num. 1, 45, 46;
il, 82, 33), not counting the Levites,
had perished In the wilderness, an
average of over forty deaths every
day. Was it any wonder that Moses
wrote, “Thou carriest them away as
with a food * * * We are consumed
by thine anger * * * all our days are
passed away in thy wrath” (Ps. xc, 5,
7, 9). (in passing let me remark that
this is a most inappropriate passage to
read at the funeral of a believer).
A new generation had arisen, but
were given to murmuring and wishing
they were dead, just like their fathers.
Moses and Aaron do not seem to
bave made any reply to the murmur
ers, but went to the Lord akout it
May we ever follow thelr example in
this, Whoever may complain to us or
about us, let us always take it to the
Lord in prayer, committing all things
to Him. *
The Lord's instructions to Moses
were simple and very plain. “Take
the rod * * * speak ye unto the rock
* * * and it sball give forth His wa-
ter” (verses 7, 8). Moses took the rod,
gathered the people, spoke in anger to
them and smote the rock twice (verses
9-11). Note his words, “Must we fetch
you water out of this rock?” Woe are
reminded of his words to the Lord
nearly forty years before when He
sald that He would give Israel flesh
to eat for a whole month. “Shall the
flocks and the herds bd’slain for
them?” (Num. xf, 22), On-nelther of
these occasions did he act with un-
shod feet, as if the affair was wholly
the Lord’s and not bis (Ex, il, 5). How
apt we are to fafl in ike manner.
‘Then as to smiting the rock, that
rock typified Christ (I Cor. x, 4), and It
had been smitten (Ex. xvil, 6). The
sufferings of Christ for us as our sub-
stitute were once for all, and there cap
be no repetition; hence the awful sin
of the so called mass of the Church of
Rome. Christ having suffered, the for.
giveness of sins and all the benefits of
Hits finished work are free to all with-
out money or mass or earthly priest.
The Lord’s word to Moses was, “Ye
believed Mfe not, to sanctify Me in the
eyes of the children of Israel.” “Ye re-
belled against My commandment.”
"Ze trespassed against Me” (verso 12;
xxvil, 14; Deut. xxx, 51).
‘The words of Moses to Israel con-
cerning it were, “The Lord was angry
with me for your sakes, saying, Thou
shalt not go In thither.” “The Lord
was wroth with me for your sakes and
would not hear me, and the Lord said
snto me, Let it suffice thee: speak no

A friend who bas much success in
growing bulbs suggests that, inasmuch
as the bulbs have matured early this
season, they should be secured and
planted as soon as possible.

Moisture and heat confitions have

fact that the flowering plants bare

tacks of Imeoct pests.
Fish fs tho more toothsome the seon-
-er it Is got into the frying pan after it

being put on the block.
It Is not too early to becin cleaning
up the orehard for winter. No grass
should be left around the trunks of
the trees where the mice can make
thelr winter quarters; dead limbs and
water sprouts should be removed. In
short, a general cleanup should be
made.
Fortunate-is the family that has had
a garden this season and has taken
the pains to preserve as large quanti-
ties as possible of fruits and vegeta-
bles. The wisdom of having done so
will be the more apparent when the
cost of supplying the average family
with canned stuff is figured up when
the coming winter 1s over.
‘There {s now on the market a mouse

it might be mentioned that there are

provement noted, for the writer has
seen ‘em who wouldn’t any more dare
to set 2 mouse trap than a rabbit,
Before the cold weathor sets in and
the rats make preparations for their
winter quarters it {s an excellent idea
to put just as many of them out of
commission as possible. They are un-
mitigated pests, and every means of
reducing thelr number to the lowest
possible should be made use of. The
average rat will consume or spoil be-
tween $1 and $1.50 worth of grain in
n year, and In view ef this none of
them should be permitted to live.

milk and butter records brought an
average price of $233 a head, while 171
cows of no better breeding, but with
official records, brought at the same
Bales an average of $465 per head.
The figures presented show that buy-
ers were willing to pay an average of
$177 per bead more for cows with rec-
ords of actual performance.
‘There is little question that for a
large number of farmers In the corn
belt who this year have sustained or
are sustaining serfous losses from hog
cholera the situation has been greatly
aggravated by two features—the feed-
{ng of too much corn and carelessness
in the furnishing of a supply of pure,
clean water. We do not mean by this
that cholera will not devastate some
herds that are given the best of care
fn the rexpects mentioned, but there is
no question that anything that lessens
the vigor and health of the hog renders
ft morte subject to disense. Stuffing
with too much corn and a dirty water
“supply are the besetting failures of all
too many hog raisers. The hogs should
be etven a new deal along these'lines,
GROWING THE BULBS.
September-and the fore.part.of Octo-
ber are the season in which the bulbs
for outdoor bedding and indoor potting
purposes should be pianted. For the
outdoor bed the soil should be rich and
mellow, prefetably of a sandy consist-
ency. The bulbs should be at a depth
varying from two and a half to four
inches deep, depending upon the varie-
ty. If warm weather prevails the bed
should be cevered with straw or leaves
to keep it from getting too warm.
Bulbs that are intended for indoor use
should be put in pots at once or during
the next five or six weeks, depending
upon the time when one wishes to
have the plants bloom. A common to-
mato can makes an excellent pot after
the jagged rim of the top is melted off
in a bed of coals or gasoline blaze. A
light and rather sandy soil is best, and
the bulbs should be set about half an
{ach below tho surface. When the
bulbs are planted the pots should be
Placed in a box and covered with two
or three inches of soil. It should then
be put in a shady place and the bulbs
allowed to freeze before being placed
in the cellar. Satisfactory flowers may
be produced if the bulbs do not freeze,
but they ore more luxuriant if the
bulbs do. This practice is followed by
Test greenhouses. The time for brins-
ing up the pots depends upon the time
when one desires the bulbs to bloom,
but In any case the latter should be al-
lowed to form vigorous root systema
before being brought te the light, The
dex should be given two or three good
waterings so thet the bulbs will be
kept moderately moist. The Onest

SOUNDS FI6HY.
A horticulturist, George Snivefy, Hty-
tog et Sandy Grove, near Harrisburg,
W. Ve, ts said to have succeeded fm
grafting a tomato stalk-on a potato
vine and having the plant reproduce
itself, a feat that has never before
Deen accomplished. The facts may be
as reported in this case, but they sound
decidedly fishy, and it would take ocu-
lar proof to convince the average man
that the tubers from the potato vine
on which this tomato stalk had been
grafted would ever produce stalks that
would bear tomatoes or that the seed
from a tomato produced on the insert-
4 tomato vine would ever develop a
root system that would prodace x rin
pliy. If a potato blossom were cross
fertilized with pollen from a tomato
blossom a plant might be developed
which would produce both tomatoes
and tubers, but the chances seem dead
against {ts ever being accomplished by
process of top grafting.
BALANCED RATIONS —
FOR DAIRY cows
In order to economically feed a dairy
cow it is always desirable to supply us
much of the nutrients required In the
roughage part of the rations as pus-
sible, says the Kansas Farmer. Alfalfa
bay contains relatively much larger
amounts of protein than corn silage.
Both are very palatable forms of
roughage and in combination form a
most satisfactory and economical basis
for a milk producing ration. For
cow of moderate production giving in
the neighborhood of three gallons of
milk a day, fifteen pounds of alfalfa
hay and all the corn silage the cow
will consume, which will ordinarily
amount to thirty or thirty-five pounds
daily, will supply sufficient digestible
nutrient material for the production of
this quantity of milk.
In order to produce larger quantities
of milk if a cow has a capacity for pro-
ducing more milk, it will be necessary
to supply additional nutrients. Addi-
tional roughage cannot be consumed, 50
the extra nutrients required must be
supplied {n a more concentrated form.
It ts commonly eatimated that about
one pound of # property balanced grain
mixture must be supplied for eack ad-

ditional four pounds of milk. For sup-
plying this additional nutrient material
in a concentrated form a combination
of four parts corn chop, two parts bran
and one part cottonseed meal would
probably be the most satisfactory ra-
tion. One pound of this inixture would
supply .12 pound of digestible protein,
52 pound digestible carbobydrage and
5 pound fat. Ten pounds of addi.
tional milk would require about four
pounds of this mitxure, or, in other
words, a cow that is capable of pro-
ducing thirty-five pounds ‘of good aver-
age milk can be fed fifteen pounds of
alfalfa hay, thirty or thirty-five pounds
of corn silage and four pounds of this
grain migture. If the extra grain fed
with this roughage ration should be
cottonseed ment only, much more di-
gestible protein would be supplied
than would be needed for milk pro-
duction, Since cottonseed meal Is more
expensive than cornmeal or bran, such
a ration would necessarily be-less eco-
nomfcal than the properly balanced ra-
tion suggested.
How Much Seed Corn to Select.
It will require about seventeen ears
of corn per acre to plant three kernels
per bil! in thick rowed corn. If you
Ust, it fs the editor's Judgment that no
more seed than this should be used on
average good upland, and the kernels
should be dropped aa nearly as poss!-
ble one 19 a hill and tho #pzee should
be as equally distributed as possible.
Remember, however, that in selecting
the eorn tn the fisif you co over ft
rather hurriedly, When winter comes
and you look the ears over carefully
you will find many that will not sait
you. Of thove thet de su a number
may not grow strong, unless the corn
ts property dried and stored. A good
rule ts to select twice as many cars
from good plants in the fieki as are
neeted fo plant the required number
ef acves next yeer. This allows a very
slove selection to be made during the
winter—Kensas Parmer.
Moccing Off Cern.
‘There bs no bettor way te fatten
hogs with profit te the owner than to
turn them loese in the cornfield and
let them pick the corn themselves.
Experimentation hes proved and the
expericnce of practical farmers in all
parts of the state fa that this method
is a profitable one. Every one who
has tried It agrees that It 1s an eco-
nomical method of fattening pork.
The time required to husk and crib
the corn Is saved. Not only that, but
the hogs get the corn when It fs fresh
and more relished. More pounds of
pork can be made from a bushel of
com by “hogging off" than by eating
husked corn.—Orange Judd Farmer.

RIGHT SOIL FOR ALFALFA.
Deep. Loam Is Best, but Other Kinds
- Will Produce Crops; ~~ —
Many people make the:fatal mistake
of expecting alfalfa to do. well on soils
that are not St propérly to prdduce
any kind of crop, says Bulletin 36 of
the Purdue university (Indiana) sta-
tion. There fs just as much need of
care in selecting and preparing solls
for alfalfa as for any ot!cr crop and
probably more because of fts deep
footing habits and large plunt food re-
quirements.
Deep. loamy soils with open subsoils
are undoubtedly best for alfalfa, but
there is plenty of evidence to skow
that It may be successfully produced
on almost any type of soll, from light
sandy or gravelly loams nd. peats or
mucks to heavy clays; preyvided that it
is well drained, sweet and properly
supplied with organic matter and avail.
able plant food.
Many soils that at present are not fit
for alfalfa culture may be made B0'by
