The Mutual Benevolent Society, tended its members and friends to an all day picnic on Thursday to Daufuskie Island, which was attended by a crowd of about five hundred persons. The outing was, as usual, what might be called a family picnic and those who were fortunate enough to be carded had a most delightful time. The children as well as the grown persons both old and young seemed to have been out for a day of genuine pleasure and they were by no means disappointed. The entire boat, the Pilot Boy, was at their disposal and there was tangoing going on from the time the picnickers left the dock until they returned to the city. A little departure from the usual was experienced by the excursionists when, instead of leaving the dock and going directly to Daufuskie, a sail of about two miles was had up the river, giving the crowd an opportunity of seeing the entire harbor. The picnickers had about seven hours on the island and the lively crowd transformed the usual quiet picnic grounds into one of much jollity and amusement. Prehaps the most amusing incident of the day was an indoor ball game between a team of young men and one from the middle age and elderl members of the Mutuals. The game lasted about 5 innings, the Mutuals winning by a score of 14 to 11. Plays were made by the Mutuals that elicited much applause not because of their merit but because of the impossibility of their being performed by any other than men who have not played the game in less than forty years. The music was very inspiring and the young folks tangoed until the boat reached the warf on the return trip. The Mutual Benevolent Society is one of the oldest organizations in the city. It was organized in 1876 and is composed of many of the most substantial and leading citizens. The president of the club is L. E. Williams. The forty second session of the Savannah District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held at Sterling, Ga., July 22-26, with Rev. W. V. Daughtry presiding. Thursday morning the meeting was called to order and entered into organization. Rev. J. C. Williams of Brunswick was elected vicepresident, Rev. E. J. Kimbal secretary and chose as his assistants Prof. H. Pearson of the Georgia State Industrial College, and Rev. C. W. Prothro. Mrs. Clara Cato was elected treasurer. The work of the conference then began with the report of Rev. W. V. Daughtry, superintendent, which showed advancement along all lines. A large delegation and friends were present at the opening and remained throughout the session. There was a variety of papers and speeches made upon every phase, touching upon racial uplift and progress. The conference members feel that there are few places to which they could have gone more prepared for the work this conference did, a place where almost everybody owns his own home. There is one colored man who owns over twelve thousand acres of land. This section promises to be one the best localities for the Negro in the state They have in erection a school which will be assisted by the Jeans Fund, which will help greatly to develop the resources of this section. Too much cannot be said of the pastor, Rev. Wm. Melton, who entertained the conference. He is also a teacher in this community. INTERESTING MEETING URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS SHOW MUCH WORK ACCOMPLISHED Much Enthusiasm Manifested by Members—Several New Members Join—Associate Director Dr Haines Addressed the Members Yesterday. The quarterly meeting of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes which was held last Monday night at the Butler Presbyterian Church was one of most interesting and beneficial sessions this body has ever held. The meeting the not as largely attended as some others, showed the marked progress the league is making here and the twenty-five or more persons present were much gratified at the various reports read. Perhaps the two reports which received most commendation were those coming from the adult committee and girls club. The committees have both done excellent work, the former visiting 118 homes, giving medicine, clothing and other necessities to many needy persons making several visits to the industrial farm in investigating conditions there and treating the old folks of the city to an outing to Cattle park while the latter has organized sewing circles among girls in the neglected sections of the city, with a total enrollment of about 100 girls. Several new members were received during the meeting, and the prospects for the work during this quarter are particularly bright, each one of the committees being determined to double its efforts in accomplishing something for the good of the league. The president presided at the meeting. On Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock several members of the league met at Asbury M. E. Church and the local work was gone over with Prof. Geo. E. Haines, director of the national league. State Teachers Meet The Georgia Association of Teachers in Colored Schools met at the Georgia State Industrial College on last Tuesday and Wednesday. Prof. M. W. Reddick of Americus was re-elected president of the association. Dr. Lee in the City Dr. M. O. Lee, of Albany, Ga., president of the Lee Chemical Company, was in the city this week inspecting the company's new building which is being erected at the southwest corner of West Broad and Maple lane The Savannah Pharmacy, the company's local drug store, will take quarters in the new building, occupying the corner store. The building which is a two story brick structure will be ready for occupancy about September 1st. Pekin Ice Cream Parlor Near Completion The ice cream parlor of the Pekin Theater which will occupy the front portion of the arcade leading to the doors of the theater is being rushed to completion, and, when finished, will be one of the finest confectionery stands in the city for Negroes. The parlor will be elegantly furnished, the gallery above the main floor containing about six four seat tables, the fountain and cigar stand being on the main floor. Manager Stiles hopes to have the work all completed by the first of September. St. John's Church On next Monday night at 8:30 o'clock, there will be an American concert and prize drill, given for the benefit of St John's Sunday school, of which Mr. J. E. Johnson is manager; Miss Camilla Marshall, pianist; Rev. Wm. Gray, pastor and Mr. Daniel Simmons, superintendent. The B. Y. P. U. will meet on Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. An interesting program is planned. Mrs. Hattie Mitchell will render a solo, and a paper will be read by Miss Louise Baldwin. The Berean Baptist Association in Session. Large Delegation Present. The Berean Baptist Association which recently convened at Central Baptist church, Thunderbolt, Ga., Rev. D. D. Mills, pastor, beginning on Thursday July 23rd and lasting through Sunday July 26th, was a success in every way. The session opened on Thursday morning with Rev. Wm. Gray, pastor of St. John Baptist church, acting as moderator. While the male delegates were holding their session at the Central Baptist church the Woman's Auxiliary under the presidency of Mrs. Emma Dennis was holding its session in the near distance in the white Methodist church at Thunderbolt, which was klindly placed at the disposal of the Association through the efforts of Rev. D. D. Mills. During the entire session of the association, the most absolute harmony prevailed. Sixty three churches and about forty Sunday schools were represented by delegates. The reports from the churches and Sunday schools showed that throughout the connection much progress had been made during the year. Several new church edifices were reported as being in course of erection, as well as plans for the immediate starting of several others. Among the many interesting features of the association was the great interest manifested by the members present in the support and enlargement of the Berean Baptist Academy. This academy begun only a few years ago, has reached through the good work done by it, the heart of nearly every member of the association. Under the leadership of of Rev. Wm. Gray as president, Rev. Wm. Durden, chairman of the Board of Trustees and Miss Alice Brown as principal, the future success of the school looks bright. During last year over 300 pupils were enrolled. For the ensuing year, it is the plan of the trustees to establish a theological department in connection with the academy. Already a large class of prospective theological students has been secured by the trustees. The association voted that October 7th next be known as Berean Baptist Academy rally day, at which time each of the 11,575 members of the association pay 20 cents for the support of the school. It was figured that if every member would do his duty at this time, nearly $3000 will be raised for the work. Among the many visitors to the association who were called upon to speak were Prof. S. A. Grant, Prof. J. G. Lemon, Dr. A. R. Ferebee, Rev. J. Jackson and others. The association will meet next year at the Union Baptist church, Charles street, Savannah, Ga. The officers re-elected were as follows: Rev. Wm. Gray; moderator; Rev. L. Bond, assistant moderator; Rev. R. G. Carter, secretary; Rev. D. D. Mills, treasurer. Boxing Contest at Lincoln Park Wednesday Night A boxing contest which is attracting considerable attention is that of next Wednesday night at Lincoln Park when Battling Jerry Johnson will meet Fighting Ben Peterson. In the semiwindup Young George Dixon will fight Kid Lucas, of Jacksonville. Fla. Several preliminary fights will be staged. The main bout gives promise of being among the best contests seen here in some time and a large crowd will undoubtedly be present Mgr. Joe Jenning is making special arrangements to handle the crowd. The admission price to the bout will be 25 cts. The preliminaries will begin about 10 o'clock. The National Teachers in Session The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools is in session at the St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Charles St. Several of the Negro colleges of the country are represented by the enrollment of delegates at the convention. --- Standard Life Does Big Business COMPANY GIVEN FINE REPORT BY EXAMINERS Old Line Life Insurance Company Ends First Year. Work—Over Million Insurance in Force— Income Over One . Hundred Thousand Dollars. At the recent annual meeting July 16th of the stockholders of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia, the only old-line legal reserve life insurance company operated by Negroes in the world it was announced that the company had in force $1,876,761 in insurance upon the lives of 9,343 policyholders. The company began business in June 1913 with a paid in capital of $100,000.00 and $16,000.00 surplus. It is therefore the largest capitalized corporation among Negroes with the capital actually paid-up in cash. The company is doing business in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. It has 55 branch offices; 208 agents, 21 clerks in the home office and branch offices and on its examining staff are 101 physicians, making a total of three hundred thirty six people employed in the first year of the company's existence. The total income for the first year in all departments amounted to $109,755 63 It paid in death claims $21,415 Until recently, the company operated a Health and Accident Department in the states of Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, but this business has been reinsured and it will hereafter do only a life business. The work of the first year was entirely satisfactory and pleasing to the large number of stockholders and directors who are scattered over ten states. Some of the most prominent and wealthy Negroes in America are Board of Directors consist of the among its stockholders. The following well known business men: A. L. Lewis, secretary of insurance Company, Jacksonville, Fla; H. C. Dugas, banker, Augusta, Ga.; J. O. Ross, banker, Atlanta, Ga.; Wm. Driskell, insurance, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. M. C. B.

Perry, mino to smre hp -?or?odhahtre president, Harry H, Pace, secretary and Henry A, Boyd, Nashville. Mr. Boyd was elected at this meeting and is the only new member of the board. All the old officers were re-elected. The company has been examined twice by the Georgia Insurance Department and in the report of the examiners high praise is given the company and its officials. Among other things the report says: "All records of the company were found in excellent condition and its affairs are carefully managed. The officers salaries are reasonable and the office expenses could not be regarded as being excessive. Records show that claims are paid as promptly as consistent and the company evidences every desire to treat the assured with equity." The reports are sworn to and are filed with the Insurance Department of every state in which the company operates. It is gratifying to note that the advent of this company into a hitherto untried field has been so uniformly successful and has met with the approbation of the insurance officials who have kept close watch over its affairs. - 7 ; | ® \ . * - . . “ a, ~ ~~ ee sists stesso gis WF While young chicks are rery greedy for angleworms, it is generally be: Neved that attacks of gapeworms to which they are often subject are trace- able to eating the earthworms, whicli are often infested by the gapeworms. which are small red worms with two prongs at one end. ‘The larvae of mosquitoes, commonly known as wrigglers, that hatch in pools _ or other containers of stagnant water may be dispatched by pouring oil on the: surface at the rate of an ounce to fifteen square fect of water.

In case of all farm animals and povl- try it is far better to exercise every possible precaution that will keep them “in good health than to be careless in this regard and spend a good deal of time In doctoring them after they get elck, Not all outbreaks of disease can be prevented, but where proper care beforehand will do so the necessary precautions should be taken. ‘The chief advantage of the dirt road that is well crowned—that is, hisher in the center than at the sides—lies In the fact that the rain falling thereon bas a chance to run off without mols- tening the earth to any considerable depth. Howerer, a road that is well crowned will not give 2 hard surface for any length of time unless the area at elther sido is well drained. Not baving the modern conveniences of ice and refrigerators, women of some portions of Central America have a custota of cooling water by swing: Inge rapidly in earthen jars by means of Weather straps fastened to their necks. When the water ts deemed sufficiently cool the women give the Jara a twist and catch them right side ‘up without spilling any of the water. A St Paul (Minn) man has applied for a patent on a rather unique steel grain car which s designed to be self unloading, ‘The car has manholes on top Instead of doors for loading.

However, on belng broken the ez was found to contain another Jarge egg just inside the shell, and the second egg when broken was also found to contain an egg of about normal size. Attending a single farmers’ institute may not impress one with the impor- tance of It as an educational institu- ton. This is the better realized when it is known tbat for the year ending June 30, 1913, there were 20,640 farm {nstitute sessions held in forty-one A reader of these notes in a conver- sation with the writer the other day reported a fine stand of onlons except un those portions of the patch where he had scattered hen manure. The manure was moist and went on in a more or less chunky condition, with the result that {t proved too much of & good thing and killed out the onion plants because it was too strong. This experlence suggests the fact that hen manure is a very concentrated fertil- fzer and should be pulverized as finely as possible and scattered very thinly on the land, it being better to ‘mix it with earth or other litter. Ag an argument of. the necessity of forming cow testing associations A. J. Nicoll of the New York farm institute staff cites the fact that whereas the price of feeds at Delhf. N. Y.. has in- creased 69 per cent in the past fifteen years, the price of whole milx bas ad- vanced by but 39 per cent. In view of these figures it fs hls contention that cows that were kept at a fair profit at the beginning of the period mention- ed are now being kept at an actual loss. He commends joining a cow testing association as the best method of accomplishing the desired end and getting rid of the loafers.

On account of the possilility of In- fection with powdery scab, the depart: ment of agriculture is now recummend. ing all potato growers to treat theh ‘seed potatoes with sulphur. This is made expedient by the fact that tu- ‘fected seed potatoes have been shipped “out of Maine. where powdery scab now . exists. Recent tests justify the depart- ‘ment's sclentists In recommending 3 thorough dusting with flowers of su!- phur :ifter the potatoes huve been cut ag a precaution against the disease. but the treatment Is by uo means Intended to take the place of formaldehyde us a general disinfectant. The department advises the use of both formuldehyde and sulphur. Before cutting the potatoes should be soaked for two hours in # solution of une pint of formaldebyde to thirty gallous of water. They should then be allowed to dry quickly either in tlic open or while spread out on a clean floor. This Is known to be effective against common scab and blackleg snd should therefore be employed in all cases. Whether it 13 equally effective against pbwdery seab is doubtfal, and for this~reason the use .of sulpbur is strongly advised in addition. ‘The po- tatoes should be eut first and then dusted thoroughly with flowers of sul- phur.

A group of boys and girls in south- western Iowa are this season taking Bart in a contest that ought to bear fruit in a better and mote intelligent type of uirying in the near future. One hundred and seventy-two of these boys and girls are sending In to the office of the State Dairy association monthly reports covering the perform. ance of the cows in their home. dairy herds along the line of milk and but- ter fat production. In view of the fact ‘that some of these youthful reporters ‘are keeping tab on as high as fourteen cows it is estimated that more than 500 cows are béingehecked up. All boys and girls between the ages of twelve and twenty are eligible for entry in the contest, which has been set for three months, Each contestant {s furnished with a dairy record sheet, on which the weight of each milking is recorded by accurate scales, Twice each month a sample of the milk must be taken and tested to determine the per cent of butter fat which {t contains. Wher- ever possible the contestants furnish n ‘small testing outfit and do the work ‘themselves, but where testers canuot be secured the samples of milk are tested at the creamery or station where the test is made. The kinds of feed used and the amounts of each consum- «d are carefully recorded in order to determine the actual value of exch cow as a producer. Feed schedules giving the value‘of the common grains and: roughages are furnished. so that the cost account may be Sgured on the same basis. Each contestant “is re- quired to write an essay of not over 500 words describing the manner’ In which the work is carrled on and the benefits derived, the prizes awarded being upon the thoroughness with which the testing work Is done and the faliness and accuracy of the records kept. Breeders of dairy cattle and dalry supply houses have assisted by offering valuable prizes for the boys and girls who make the best showing. ‘Three of the winners are to have their cholce of a pure bred Guernsey, Jersey or Holstein bull calf, while others will receive cream separators, Babcock testers and other dairy equipment. HORSES VERSUS MOTORS. As Jong us ten years ago it was pre- icted that the automobile would put the horse out of business. That this process*Is kely to be one covering a very long period is shown in the fol- lowing figures ‘giving the census of horse propelled vehicles and motor ve- hicles of one kind and another in the city of Chicago in the years 1911 and 1914: In the former year there wero 40.109 one horse vebicles in Chicago. 17.640 two horse vebictes, 331 -three horse rigs und 84 fonr horse rigs. In the same year there were 436 and 363 auto delivery trucks of less than one ton and more than one ton ca- pacity respectively. Early in the pres- ent year the census for the four kinds of .borse vehicles were in the order above given as follows: 33,305, 15,851. 256 und 17 respectively. The two sizes of motor trucks had increased to 2,448 and 1.75 respectively. GETTING RID OF CROWS. Where crows do not pull corn and ‘Kil Uttle chickens it is generally con- sidered that they do more good than harm because of the fact that they de- your larze numbers of beetles, cater- pillars und wice. Where they do in- aulge in the two practices referred to an excellent method of putting a stop to their depredations ts by killing sev- eral crows aud banging them up on long poles, There is something quite suggestive in the sight of a sttll crow at the end of a long pole, and the live ones that remain are quite likely to fight shy, of the places where such crows are un exhibition. The writer has tried this method and found it very satisfactory. If- the crows are too wary to sit for a shot ut from twelve to fifteen rods one ought to get a bead on them at a greater distance ‘with a good target rifle. A CHINCH BUG PARASITE. An entomologist of the Kansas ex- periment station has discovered a para- site which lays its eggs witbin the eggs of the chinch bugs, and it ts his opin- fon that this parasite will ultimately mean the control of the chinch bug pest. When hatched the larvae -of the parasites feed upon the contents of the.eggs in which they are laid. Last season Professor McCulloch, as: sistant entomologist, collected fifty-one insects, and he bred out 786, of which number 512 were females. It was found that these females Iaid on the average from twelve to twenty-nine eggs daily. Their life period was found to run from twelve to thirty days, depending upon weather condi. tions, from elght to ten generations being produced. KILLING PLANT LICE. One of the worst foes of plant life during the warm summer months are the different species of lice. These may be kept In-check by spraying the plants or trees with either a soap or a tobacco solution. The first is made by dissolving whale oll soap in water at the rate of one pound to about six gal- lons of water, The latter is prepared by diluting the commercial tobacco ex- tract preparations according to direc- tions or by steeping a pound of tobacco Jeaves in four or five gallons of water Both sprays should be applied thor- oughly, care being taken to get the spray into all curled leaves and on all the lice present. | : ° * | AEG | z ; : Sot eel SEABOARD Arr Line THE PROGRESSIVE KAILROAD OF THE SOUTH . are ae - ——~ |———_North and East —-—t- 35 3 te | Nor oad ES | 10 45 am——_| Columbia and Local ~~ 6 00 am 855 pm ——__| =" Columbia and Local | 400 pm 1230 am ——_— |" Jacksonville and Fias_ 3 30 am 120 pm——— ...|——.--dacksonville and Fla_ 3 20 pm 8 35pm ———_ |...

BOWSFIELD GGS become E so cheap in summer that in order to clear uny money poul- try owners must have a select trade to sell to, or else batch chick- ens and supply the market with : — rT oe gen Daca te eet Sena Paes we a2 CMe re Pe Ne ee ceed sroilers and roast- | ers, The broiler trade is attractive, a8. hotels, restaurants and clubs require, an almost unilmited supply of these Dlamp chickens about two months old and weighing two to three pounds. To make moves reasonably fast one needs two or more incubators and should keep hens enough so that a machine can be filled In three to five days. There will be a supply of eggs to sell each month, but the bulk of them will go into the production of poultry. Observe the principles of uniformity. freshness, cleanliness. Eggs for hatch- ing should be clean. If not clean they should be wasbed in tepid water and carefully dried with a clean soft towel. | This washing does not injure the egg. but it must be done quickly and care- fully or the jarring of the contents may ruin ft for hatching. As fast as| the eggs are washed and dried they should be covered with a layer of clean cloth or absorbent cotton to pre- Yent their becoming chilled. It fs a, good practice to stand the eggs in a cool, quiet place, each with the large end uppermost. for a period of twelve hours before placing for incubation. This balances the yolk in tbe center and locafes the air cell. oa Eggs waiting for incubation should be kept at # temperaturé-of about 6O degrees F.. although they will stand a variation of temperature from 40 to 100 degrees. ‘They should not be allow- ed to dry out, nor should they be ex- posed to a current of cold air, steam or vapor. During storage ess for in- eubhtor use should be turned every day. Hens kept In unhealthful quarters or too closely confined are not likely to lay ezes that will produce strong, healthy chickens. Mens suffering from disease or Infested with vermin may }Jay, but egas from such hens wil | rarely batch, and even If they do hatch the chicks will not be likely to mature | into vigorous ‘or growthy fowls. | Hence in order to secure batchable eggs the bens must be healthy, have | plenty of exercise and be fed upon an assorted or balanced ration. An exclu- | rive corn dict will not make for fertil- ity. Fowls In confinement must bate a mixed diet and plenty of ground - bone, with meats, clovers or other sub- stances in the IIne of nitrogenous food. It is wise to sim at uniformity In age, size, color nud breed. There is a great deal in selection, and this goes back to the parent stock before the eggs are laid. Ifthe tlock is uneven the birds ought to be separated Into pens so that the eggs taken for hatching are sure to be fertile and from a good strain of hens. The best pullets hatched every spring ought to be kept for winter egg pro- duction, They will begin laying when prices are high. Pullets will begin lay- ing at five to seven months of age, ac- | cording to the kind of blood in them. . Nearly all the pullets hatched in March will begin layguz in October or Noveiv- | ber, just in time to furnish a supply of eggs when prices are highest. A food plan fs to bring pullets along steadily without forcins, and they will be good size at six te seven’nonths. Keep the flock divide umd co not iet males run | with pullets the first year or while the | eses are wanted for market. When ! wanted for hatching let the males run ‘ with them, twelre or fourteen hens for each rooster. It is obvious that the best results economically come from chickens run- ning at large on the farm, Witb but little attention they zather the greater part of thelr food, und it is properly balanced at that, In order to provide a large grain sup- ply ut the letst expense a nearby tract —say the urcbard—should be planted to wheat, the chickens being confined un: til it kas eame up well to prevent scratching ont the seed. When ripe the birds will attack the crop, doing the reaping and thrashing. with no at ¢ eblad unibatun Minn the ane. Circular and Flat Beds. * A charming circular bed can be made frum 2 combination of blue clem- atis and pink gladioli. Tbe clematis is planted in the middle and trained low over the bed on wires abont one foot apart and fifteen inches from the ground radiating from the center. The giadioli grow up through the wires. A simple and lovely flat bed can be made by sowing a carpet of sweet alys- sum, Little Gem. white, and dotting it with Lilac Queen. To Preserve Plants. A good method of preserving plants that have been transplanted and before thelr roots have taken hold of the ground Is to cover them with Inverted flower pots of suituble size. These should be tn place only during the warmest ap4 sunulest part of the day. They should not be used on dull days. They prevent the strong sun from scorching the follage and also help to maintain the moisture in the soil, + i me 4 t__..

Branch Office----509 W. Broad St. H. T. Singleton, Surf. 457 West Broad Street Points for Mothers. Hot Weather Hygiene. In hot weather danger sometimes arises for the children in a faulty condition of the food. This is especially the case with milk, and it is necessary to see that the milk used comes from a guaranteed source and that it is kept under hygienic conditions in the house. Fruit, too, becomes a danger, and the eating of unripe or overripe fruit is a very common cause of nursery alliments. Now to consider the question of medicine and dieting when the first warm weather appears. For the former, when circumstances render it necessary, magnesia may be safely recommended, provided it is in a suitable form for children's use. Any obvious disturbance in the internal arrangements should be counteracted by this in preference to castor oil or even olive oil, for both have a tendency to hear the blood, a tendency which is counteracted in magnesia. To the older children a simple saline draft may often be given with advantage. A good, homely remedy is made by stewing prunes in water in which some senna pods have been soaked, one ounce of the pods being put into a pint of boiling water and left until the water is cold. Strain the water then and stew one pound of prunes in it, adding four or five tablespoonfuls of golden syrup; then pass the mixture through a sieve and keep it in a well stoppered bottle, giving one teaspoonful as a dose each morning. It is quite nice to take and generally liked by children. When the Youngsters Travel. Children traveling can all too easily prove a bore to every one. On shipboard it is easy to keep them out of the way. On some of the ships, of course, special nurseries and playrooms are provided. Even when this is not the case the children can be kept happily occupied with books and toys in their desk chairs or else can be taken for walk about the deck. But they should not be allowed to romp up and down the deck. Running thoughtlessly into other pedestrians and stumbling rudely against the deck chairs. Children in a train are harder to take care of. Whatever their own discomfort may be, don't allow them to romp up and down the aisles. If they become very restless they may walk up and down the aisles a few times without disturbing any one if they can be trusted to be quiet and mannerly. For the rest interesting games and books that can be enjoyed in their seats should be provided for their entertainment. Colored crayons, pencil and other paper games, games of cards—like "authors"-paper dolls and the other sort of dolls and various word games that can be directed by an elder member of the party are all good entertainment for child travelers. Summer Drinks For Children Barley water when very carefully prepared is a first rate drink for children in hot weather and makes a welcome change from plain water or milk and water. Lemonade should be only very sparingly given them, and then only when carefully made with fresh lemons. A child should be allowed to drink as much as it likes either of barley water or plain cold filtered water. The extra perspiration caused by the hot weather will often induce thirst, and the need nature makes felt in this way should be met. In hot weather, too, when there is hisside or signs of ill health, one of the excellent patent foods should be given for a time. In this way the nutriment required which is not given by the ordinary diet will be obtained, for it is no use to force a child to eat more than it wants at ordinary meals—a very common nursery mistake in the first warm weather. It is quite surprising to find the difference which a cup of malted milk once or twice a day and a meal of some good patent food for supper will make, even in a few days, in a child who is peacock and generally out of sorts. Fruit For the Little Ones. The question of fruit for children is a vexed one, and it is well to put parents on their guard. Really fresh fruit, either raw or cooked, provided it is in good condition and free from skins, strings and pips, is excellent for the little ones. Rhubarb is a very valuable nursery food. It should be carefully rubbed through a sieve after having been stewed with raw brown sugar for young children. Then it can be given freely, even to tinkles from eighteen months onward, especially if beaten up with custard. Indeed, this form of simple "food" makes a first rate nursery pudding and one much appreciated. Raw fruit except bananas is rather at a premium now, but these should have the fibrous strings adhering to them carefully removed before being given to children, while for babies under two and one-half years they should be mashed up with a little cream. Food Between Meals. Give the children a cupful of warm liquid—soup or milk—if they come in hungry. It is nourishing and doesn't spoil their dinners. INSURANCEGEOGRAPHY --- When is a man mos confused?

Babcock. Wanted & Sample. A young minister unexpectedly called upon to address a Sunday school asked, to gain time: "Children, what shall I speak about?" A little girl on the front seat who was in the habit of reciting at entertainments had committed to memory several declarations, so that she was always prepared for any occasion. Sympathy and interest shone in her face as she held up her hand and in a shrill voice inquired: "What do you know best?"—Chicago News. Essad Pasha'a Revenge. A number of years ago Geni Bey, Essad Pasha's brother and, like himself, an Albanian nationalist, was shot by order of Abdul Hamilm. For this reason, when the Turkish parliament deposed the cultan, Essad Pasha begged to be sent to Yildiz klosk to tell Abdul of his fate. Accompanied by three others, he presented himself before his brother's murderer and pronounced the formula: "In accordance with Fetva, the representatives of the nation have decreed your deposition. Follow us." Essad subsequently declared that April 27, 1909, when he thus tested, the sweets of revenge. was the happiest day he had ever known—London Spectator. Point to Be Remembered. "Yes, mum, I be the oldest 'un in you village, but, mind ye, I ain't always been."-London Opinton Orthography of Shakespears. Some interesting Shakespeareaane appear in the London Record. It is well known that in Shakespeare's time orthography was little accounted of and that Shakespeare himself would have considered the question of spelling his name in one way and not another a mere waste of time. It is, however, worth recording how the name struck the Bodleian officials when the first follo was given a place and mark in the library. The entries are as follows and were all written in 1623: Shaksper, Shape-speare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shak-speare. The testimony, so far as it goes, is obviously in favor of the form "Shakespeare" and of the present pronunciation of the word. Nutmeg. Nutmeg should be used sparingly, as it contains an etherial oil that is a recognized poison. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Smoking a bruise, cut or nail wound with burning wool or woolen cloth is said to be an excellent preventive of inflammation and possicle after effects in the shape of lockjaw. The Hudson river district in New York is credited with having produced 1,025,308,000 bricks in 1913, having a value of $6,036,061. The average price obtained for these bricks was $5.50 per 1,000. The mixing of religion and politics is a thing not to be feared provided the right kind of religion is mixed with the right kind of politics. When both are off color there is usually the old Harry to pay. Bitter odors of one kind and another, among which that of leeks is quite likely to predominate, may be largely prevented by keeping cows from infested pastures for a period of four hours before milking. Gray county, Kan., although in the dry belt, claims the finest. If not the largest, field of wheat in the world and backs its claim up with a large cash prize for a field of its size anywhere that will equal it. From the standpoint of maintaining soil fertility, dairying is better than beef raising because of the fact that a ton of beef sold removes about $2.80 worth of fertilizing elements, a ton of milk 34 cents' worth and a ton of butter practically no fertilizer at all. If you have hard water, try putting a clean clam shell in the teakettle or reservoir. Some one has found out that when this is done the lime which the water contains and which is precipitated by boiling will stick to the clam shell instead of to the sides and bottom of the kettle. In spite of the fact that twenty-five years ago barely one farmer in a thousand or more had heard of alfalfa as a hay and pasture plant, today the state of Kansas alone has more than a million acres devoted to growing the legume, while Nebraska has nearly two-thirds as many, acres engaged in the same line of production. Field beans will produce a crop if planted any time during June, though the chances of damage by a frost will be less if they are put in by the 20th. in the average small garden a fain crop may be secured by planting the beans in the patch of early potatoes, the vines occupying the ground after the potato vines are dead. The Wisconsin Agricultural college is sending out to dairymen Bulletin No. 27, which is devoted to directions for using the Babcock tester. The circular explains each step of the process in detail and is fully illustrated. A convenient method of keeping mills records, is also outlined. Every dairyman who can get one should have one. The writer has seen suckers of one kind and another and has even heard of pigs sucking cows, but that was an entirely unique type he saw the other day when on a country trip a six-months-old calf was contentedly, extracting nourishment from a benevolent mare. It is putting it mildly to say that the spectacle would have done for a dime museum. Folks who live out in the dry country will be interested in a bulletin issued lately by the Nebraska" experiment station on "Vegetable Gardens on Irrigated Farms in Western Nebraska," the bulletin being a report of operations at the Scotts Bluff station. The bulletin is free and may be had by addressing the experiment station at Lincoln, Neb. On the Minnesota university experimental farms the directors overcome the difficulty of stomach worms in sheep by pasture rotation at intervals of four months and giving the mature sheep a one or two ounce dose of gasoline at lambing time, with a small dose of epsom salts, and giving both sheep and lambs the same medicine in July and again in November and turning them into new pastures at the time mentioned. In a recent essay contest conducted by the department of public roads and participated in by 5,000 boys and girls of the country, first prize was awarded to Amy Coon, a fourteen-year-old girl living at Scammon, Kan. The subject treated in the essays was "The Repair and Maintenance of Dirt Roads." The ablest road engineers judged the essays. The winner is to have her expenses paid to the American road congress, which meets at Atlantic, Ga., in November of the present year. LIGHT HENS HEAVY LAYERS. In an article published a short-time ago Professor Quisenberry, who is director of the Missouri poultry experiment station and has charge of the national egg laying contest now being held there, brings out the interesting, as well as significant, fact that fully 90 per cent of the proved best layers which have been tested out in the several egg laying contests have been the smallest birds entered, running all the way from half a pound to three pounds less than the recognized weight standard of the breed to which the individual hen belonged. He cites Lady Showyou, the White, Plymouth Rock hen, winner of the first contest at Mountain Grove, with a record of 281 eggs, she weighing one and a half pounds less than the standard; also the Rose Comb White Leghorn pullet Missouri Queen, that laid 200 eggs in the contest and welched but two and three-fourths pounds, being the smallest of thirty-six pullets entered. He also cites the fact that the hens or pullets holding egg records among Barred Rocks, Langshans, White Buff and Black Orpingtons and White, Silver and Buff Wyandottes have been from a half to two pounds under the standard weights. To further emphasize his point Mr. Quisenberry cites the case of the Missouri breeder of Plymouth Rocks who had made a good deal of the fact that his fowls averaged from one to three pounds overweight, but who is now disposing of his entire flock because they do not lay eggs enough to pay for their keep while laying them. WHY CULTIVATE? The "why" of cultivating corn is worth a thought at just this time of year, when every team in the corn belt that is available is putting in long hours in cultivating this great crop. The chief object of cultivation should be to keep the surface soil mellow and the subsol molst. The killing of weeds is merely a secondary consideration. The force of this statement is made perfectly clear in the dialogue which took place last summer between two farmers who were working adjoining farms, their corn rows butting up to each other on opposite sides of the same fence. The farmer who cultivated his corn to kill weeds only was sort of ridiculing his neighbor for stirring the soil frequently during the dry spell, when there were no weeds in sight. However, the other asked him to wait and pass judgment at harvest time. When the corn in these two fields was picked the farmer who cultivated to kill weeds got twenty bushels per acre, and his neighbor got forty. The facts set forth ought to contain a suggestion for a good many corn growers. FOR HORSE RAISERS. A good many farmers do not realize as much on the horses they sell as they might because they do not follow any definite plan in their horse breeding operations, using a sire of one breed one season and another the next and not exercising any particular care in the matter of the points of excellence of the mares used for breeding purposes. Dr. Alexander, the well known authority on horse breeding, lays down five rules which, if followed, he says will produce a practically pure and satisfactory type of pure bred horses: Have in mind an ideal type toward which to work and select one breed from which to choose sires. Select and use only sound, healthy mares as nearly of the ideal chosen as possible. Discard all males produced and all females below the standard. Feed breeding stock and young stock at all times in such a way as to develop all the possibilities of each animal. Only sound, healthy sires and dams should be mated, and everything possible should be done to develop constitution and resistant power against disease. SOME COLLAR SUGGESTIONS. SOME COLLAR SUGGESTIONS. The Nebraska College of Agriculture makes some suggestions along the line of preventing sore shoulders in horses that are worth taking note of by those who may not appreciate their value to the full. The suggestions state that sore shoulders more often come from looseness along the side of the neck than extra length of collar. In such case the hames should be worked rather long, which will tend to press the collar in snug against the sides of the neck, Lifting up the collar occasionally on a hot day and letting the shoulders cool is a good thing. This also gives opportunity to remove the mane or any foreign substance that may have got under the collar. The use of the sweat pad is condemned because it makes the shoulder tender and more susceptible to sores and tumors. Bathing the shoulders in cold water each night will do much toward keeping them in prime condition. A DRY COUNTRY REFRIGERATOR. A South Dakota farm wife who lives in a section where water is too scarce to allow of using it to supply a cooling tank has worked out a plan for refrigeration that is simple yet very effective. A small refrigerator room is built in the upper part of the well and just beneath the pump, with an iron grating in one corner to allow free circulation of the cool air from the well beneath. Steps are arranged running from the surface of the ground down to the floor of this room and shelves are placed around the walls conveniently. She reports this refrigerator always cool no matter how hot it is above. J.C. Truqq Farm and Garden INOCULATION FOR ALFALFA. Nitrogen Gathering Bacteria on Roots of Plant Advised. "Alfalfa is a legume crop, and for its successful growth nitrogen gathering bacteria on its roots are necessary," according to Manley Champlin, assistant agronomist at the State college, South Dakota. "Where alfalfa has been grown for many years the bacteria are likely present in the soil—for instance, certain parts of the Black Hills region. But if the bacteria are not in the soil it would probably be well to inoculate either the seed or the land to produce them." Mr. Champlin offers the following suggestions on methods of inoculation: "Nitrogen gathering bacteria are prepared in the form known as pure culture by the United States department of agriculture at Washington, and small quantities of this pure culture are sent free to the farmers desiring to make a trial of inoculation. In sending in a request for this material the following facts should be stated: The name of the crop to be inoculated, amount of seed to be sown, acreage to be sown to this crop and the approximate date on which you expect to sow the seed. "The inoculating material is sent out within seven days of the time the application is received, and it should be used before the expiration of twenty-five days from the date on which it was sent, as the bacteria may be destroyed if held longer than that. Requests should be sent to the secretary of agriculture. Washington, D. C. The state of South Dakota has provided no funds for the making of pure culture at the State College of Agriculture, though A A FIELD OF YOUNG ALFALEA requests received at the college are usually forwarded to the secretary of agriculture at Washington for attention. "Karl F. Kellerman of the bureau of plant industry says: The inoculation of legume seeds with liquid pure culture is exceedingly simple. The seeds to be treated are placed in a clean bucket, pail or tub and the liquid pure culture applied a little at a time, thoroughly stirring the seeds with the hands, as though one were kneading dough. This will produce a thin, moist coating of culture on every seed. Too much liquid makes the seeds too wet, and if left standing thus for any extended period they may be injured. The small quantity of liquor, pure culture, furnished by the department is sufficient to produce the required amount of moisture on a considerable bulk of seeds, depending entirely upon the size of the seeds and how thoroughly they are stirred with the culture. After moistening the seeds should be spread in a thin layer on a clean floor or on newspapers and thoroughly dried. The complete application requires but a short time and should not be done in bright light or direct sunlight. If inoculated in the evening and spread in a protected place the seeds will be ready for early morning sowing, although seeds thus treated can be stored for a week or more should weather or other conditions prevent immediate sowing." "In all cases where inoculation is practiced a strip should be left along the edge of the field without inoculation so as to determine whether or not the inoculation was necessary. "After the alfalfa or other legume crop is two or three months old an abundance of nodules or small bunches should appear on the roots. These nodules are the homes of the bacteria, and the number of nodules indicates the number of bacteria present. If an alfalfa or other legume crop grows without the bacteria it takes its nitrogen from the soil the same as a grain crop and therefore is not as beneficial to the soil as it is when it gets its nitrogen from the air. Furthermore, the legume will not make the best growth unless it is supplied with bacteria or, on the other hand, is sown upon land which is well manured and rich in nitrogen. After one field is inoculated adjoining fields may be quickly treated in future years by simply scattering soil from the inoculated field upon the new field." Fruit on Every Farm. No farm should be without fruit. A farmer who has a taste for fruit growing and land suitable for it should have his orchards of such fruits as his local market calls for and of such varieties as succeed best in his locality.

To this an opponent replied that he never heard the gentleman in question speak but one dead language and he murdered that as he went along.—Christian Register. Our small earth is not absolutely safe from collision with bodies in space, but is safe from collision with any planet in the solar system and with the sun. To be hit by a planet either the earth or the planet must leave its orbit. This is impossible, and it is also impossible that the earth can leave its orbit and fall to the sun. The earth is being hit by millions of meteors daily, from the size of pin heads up to the largest, several hundred tons in weight.New York American. Baron von Kempelen, at the beginning of last century, traveled through Europe with what he described as an unbeatable chess automaton in the likeness of a Turk. Kempelen used to conceal a man in the chest on which the Turk was seated, but so ingenious was the contrivance that for a long time everybody was deceived. Napoleon played chess with the pseudo-automaton when stopping at Schoenbrunn after the battle of Wagram. He lost the first game and in the second delliberately made two false moves. The pieces were replaced each time, but on the emperor making a third false move the Turk swept all the pieces off the board.—London Chronicle. The sorrow of yesterday is as nothing, that of today is bearable, but that of tomorrow is gigantic because indistinct.—Eupides. The most ancient encyclopedia extant is Pliny's "Natural History," in thirty-seven books and 2,493 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny, who died 79 A. D., collected his work in his leisure intervals while he was engaged in public affairs. The work was a very high authority in the middle ages. Slow Death.

As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Pauillac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea.

Negro Business League's Weekly Letter—by J. C. Lindsay. Our only apology for writing these letters from week to week, is that your attention may be directed to the men and measures th while among our people. By this term, we mean that class men who feel it their duty to work right up to one of our own business men and honestly criticise his short comings with the pe that he will profit by such criticism and bring his business to that standard set by the other fellow. By this you can see at a glance that we haven't the disposition, time, nor space (which space having been generously given by the hearted owner of the Tribune) waste upon dudes and minnow who cannot help or hinder. but on the contrary we wish to call your attention to that class of men and women of the race, who with an out-lay of brain and money have placed in our midst a two story brick building for a publishing plant and newspaper office, corner lots and brick buildings for drug stores, magnificent buildings for undertaking establishments, beautiful buildings for office purposes and lodge rooms, powering and well equipped buildings for banking purposes, modern in every respect, millinery stores profitably and successfully managed by business women of the race; these, with scores of other successful enterprises and businesses owned, operated and successfully controlled and managed by business men and women of race, take up all the space allotted us from week to week and, as a natural consequence, we can only hit the worthless dude and sham a passing blow and "knock a-long." The attention of our splendid women is called to the up-to-date assortment of fine head gear on display at the well-kept millinery store of Miss Allen's on West Broad street, next door to the Vage Earners bank. This is the only place of its kind in the city owned by a woman of the race, and deserves the support and encouragement of our good women who use articles usually kept in a store of this kind. There are quite a number of our women in business in this community who are doing much in a tangible way to better the condition of our people along material lines. Take for example, if you please, Mrs. R. L. Barnes; than whom there is no more widely and favorably known throughout the entire state, who, just a few months ago, in the southern portion of the city, in a splendid neighborhood, improved her holdings on a valuable corner lot, with up-to-date flats consisting of twenty or more of rooms with baths and other modern improvements. There are other business women in this community of whom the race is justly proud, who are contributing their daily quota to the moral and material advancement of the race. The Negro Business League's representative, in the person of Mr. G. H. Bowen, will leave Monday, August 17th for Muskogee, Ocala, to attend the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Brooker T. Washington is president. We will have only one more meeting before he leaves for the west, which will be Wednesday evening, August 5th, to which meeting all members and friends are urged to be present.
