The new Colored Carnegie Li- brary, which is located on Henry street, east, opposite Dixon park, is completed and has been turned over to the curators. The building is one of the most beautiful and best appointed edi- fices of the kind which Negroes have at their disposal in any por- tion of the South. It was made possible by a gift of $12,000.00 from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the land having been purchased with money raised by popular subscrip- tion from Negroes and charitable white friends in the city. The building gs a two story structure being 60%feet by 35. On the first floor is a lecture room 32 ¥ feet by 41 fitted with movable folding chairs and having a capac- ity of about 175 persons. ‘This room may be used for fairs, enter- tainments and other purposes. The ‘furnace room and lavatories are also on this floor. On the second floor is the libra- ry room proper. This room is admirably ventilated and the light is excellent. The building is constructed of red ¥ inch brick raked joint with black mortar. The interior wood work is of pine and cypress and the floors of the first story are of cement. those up stairs being of rift pine. The outside wood work is of bronze color and the inside of modern English oak. The walls are of a beautiful bluish tint. The book cases extend to the rear end of the hall. and the libra- rians’s desk is near the front en- trance . The table and chairs are of fumed oak. The dedicatory exercises will take place onThursday afternoon August 13th at 5:30 o’clock, Prof. ‘S. A. Grant of Georgia State Col- jege, delivering the address.

South Carolina Knights Méet OVER FIVE HUNDRED DEL- EGATES PRESENT Convention One of Finest In His- tory .of .Order—Endowment Department in Excellent Con- dition—All Officers Re-elected. _ (By J. 8. Blocker) The tenth annual session of the Knights of Pythias of Soyth Car- olina opened’ theif grand lodge session in -\bbevifle, S.C. July 29th. The informal opening was held at the St. James A. M. E. ‘Church, of which the Rev. W._L. Rice is pastor. More than five hundred delegates from the-one hundred and eighty-four lodges in the state were in attendance and a splendid’ program ‘was ren- dered at,the opening. The address of welcome in be- half of the city was delivered by Dr. C.C. Gambrell, mayor. May- or Gambrell gave the Knights and Courts a practical talk along the lines of making good citizens and right living, which was time- ly. He assured the delegates that the city was open to them, also that the city council had given the local committee fifty dollars for their entertainment. He assured the delegates that in Abbeville, the best white and col- ored citizens exhibit at all times the friendliest feeings toward each other. 8 Grand Chancellor, T. H. Henry, made a short talk in behalf of the Grand Lodge, showing the order had grown in ten years, from eight to one hundred and eighty- four lodges, also showing that the endowment department ts backed up by $150,00. Prof. R. S. Wil- kinson, president of the State Col- lege, at Orangeburg, S. C., also ;spoke in response to the-mayor, assuring him that the K.ofP. was no “before-day club,” but her aim was to make better citizens and at all times to liftup fallen humanity. This was the banner session for South Carolint Knights and the convention was made up of the most representative Negroes in the state. The past session was one of harmony, and much healthful legislation was carried through for the good of the order. The last session ofthe canvention con- vened Friday and Spartanburg, S. C. was selected as the next place of meeting. _ The following is-the roster of officers: * °T. H. Henry, grand chancellor, Columbia; J. A. Brown, past grand chancellor, Charleston; R. P.

APPLIES FOR CHARTER Union Dévelopment Company Holds First Meeting Pursuant to a call, many of the stockholders of the Union De- velopment Co., met last Monday night at the office of G. H. Bowen 457 West Broad St., for the pur- pose of hearing what had been done; of discussing the present status; and of mapping. out plans for the future. A majority of stock was represented at this meeting. Many were xsurprised to see what progress had been made in the matter of selling stock and all were satisfied with the progress to date. It was shown that the option for purchasing the proper- ty on West Broad Street was ex- tended thirty days. After dis- cussing the situation thoroughly it was, decided to apply for char- ter, and accordingly Mr. J. G. Lemon, attorney-at-law, was em- ployed to file petition. It was also decided that all stockholders push a vigorous campaign for the next four weeks to sell stock, and at the expiration of such time a meeting will be called for the purpose of organizing and closing the deal.

The funeral services eee held at Charlton City on Friday afternoon, in the Congre- gational church, in the midst of, surroundiogs familiar to’ Mrs. Casein her early years, and to which she returned when the in- creasing infirmities of advancing years prevented continuing act- ively in the work in which she had spentso many useful years, ‘The funeral services were con- ducted by Rey. Dr. Horace Bum- stead, for thirty three years an officer of the Atianta University and for twenty years its president, ‘There were also present, repre- senting: the school Mr. Butler ‘Wilson of Koston, and Professor eurge A. Towns, alumni of the University, and the writer. ‘The simple service in which Dr. Bumstead outlined the life of Mrs. Case, and at whith the two gradu- ates sang asshe had requested Cer- tain of the “Old Time Songs,” and whereeach of usspole briefly of the influence and large out- come of her life was a service she herself had planned, and which we were glad to carry out. The occasion was not altogether one of sadness as Mr, Wilson pointed out. There was the clear air, the bright sunshine, the blue sky, the beauty of flowers and the song of birus, and Mrs. Case. To how many .of the students of the University and the graduates who attended during thevyears 1869—1897 will the words “Mrs. Case” call up the gracious little woman whose inlluence was so murked and so_pervasiye and so beneficent. No longer will those of us who meet the students of that time be accosted with the question, “And Mrs. Case, how is she}? But it will be rather, “And Mother Case, has she really passed away?” Mrs, Case’s early years were spent in New England. Her fa- ther was a thrifty and successful farmer, living upon the farm first cleared by his ancestors, and which'still remains in the posses- sion of descendants of theoriginal settler. - Asa young girl she at- tended Leicester~Academy from which she was called home at 14 to the bedside of her dying moth- er. This experience was followed by six years of invalidism which Jeft their impression upon her fragile form, but which left their influence upon her Christian char- acter. She knew suffering all her life and was made strong by it. For some time she attended Mt. Holyoke Academy and cameunder the influence of Mary Lyon. And who can claim that, the influence of Mary Lyon upon Lucy E. Merrium was not perpetuated in the thirty years of active service that Mrs. Case later gave to the sons and daughters of freedmen; and that the spirit of Mary Lyon still lives in hundreds of homes and schools and communities in the Sunny South, Mrs. Case her- self being the personality that disseminated the spirit she herself caught from Mary Lyon. The Mt, Holyoke life was fol- lowed by her marriage, and her married life while brief was ap- parently a very happy one. To) the surprise of her southern friends, Mrs. Case possessed con- siderable power in versification, | and a poem read at the faneral. and written upon the anniversary of her busbahd’s death showed a good deal of poeticinsight. An- other poem based upon the lame man at the Gate Beautiful and which had this comment upon it: “A school exercise. Time, 54 hours” may serve to, illustrate something of the persistency’ which she showed toward set tasks and something of the quality ofherscholarship. (Continued on page 4} ALL SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES AT . NEW SCHOOL INDUSTRIAL, AND_MANUAL TRAINING TO BE TAUGHT Several. Additional Teachers Will Be Needed in System—Assign- ment, of Teachers Not .Yet Made—New, School Probably Completed. Ata meeting last week of the committee of the Board of Educa- tion to arrange for the course of study at the new Cuyler street schoos, tentative plans were agreed upon forthe opening of the school this fall. {lt was decided that the seventh and eighth grades at the other public schools be transferred to the new school in order that the pupilsin these grades might be gtyenthe manual and industrial training, which it is proposed will be taught at the new schooh The moving of the upper grades from the other three schools will cause them to carry their pu- pils no further than the sixth grades, when they willbe trans- ferred to the Cuyler street school. The rooms now used for the upper grades in these schools will be used for the accommodation of pupils in the lower grades. It has been stated that the change will not cause any of the teachers,to bedropped, all of them being provided work. ‘bere are now three eighth and three seventh grade teachers in the system and in what way this will effect these teachers is not yet known. Cooking, sewing, dining room service, sanitation and general house services were the industrial features the committee has deter- mincd to provide for fhe female pupils. Manual training will be given the boys of the seventh and eighth grades. . It will be necessary, the com- mit.ec found, to employ one teacher in the Cuyler Street school to instruct in cooking and related subjects, and another teacher for sewing and related subjects. The assignment of teachers bas not yet been made, but-the open- ing of the new school will neces- sitate, very. likely, an addition of several new teachers to the sys- tem, The new school, is practically completed andthe finishing touches are now being done on the build- ing. It will accommodate about 1,000 children and is one of the finest Negro grammar schools in the south. It is two stories high, red brick and very conveniently appointed. It is’steam heated and the roomsare all large and well lighted. Prof. J. W. Hubert of White Plains, Ga.. has been chosen principal of the school. Motorcycle Races Labor Day by Colored Club The first motorcycle races ever held in this part of the state by Negroes are those which will be pulled off on labor day September 7th, at Woodlawn park by the Chatham Cycle Club. The affair is attracting quite a deal of atten- tion and it is expected that a large crowd will be on hand to witness the races. Most of the colored boys and men of this city who ride motorcycles will be in the event, although at present only a few have registered their entries. Aside from the motor- cycle races there will be several bicycle races. The price of ad- mission to Woodlawn park will be 15 cents, and a local band will furnish music for the day. The motorcycle events to be run have not yet been decided upon’ but it is thought that there will be one event about fifty miles and several about ten miles. Those who have entered so farare: Thor team—W. L. Butler, Jas. Butler, Ae Baker. Indian team—Henry_ Blake, Saml. Reynolds, Thad. Middleton. Harley-Davidson team—Tom.

When they are not insured with the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company. Which company pays for all diseases known to medical science? FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY 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 Farm and Garden INOCULATION FOR ALFALFA. 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 ailments. 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 heat 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 deck chairs or else can be taken for walks 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 latitude 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 peevish 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. Rhufarb is a very valuable nursery food. It should be carefully rubbed through a sleeve 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 enrol their dinners. When is a man mos confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe? When they are not insured with the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company. Which company pays for all disease known to medical science? The Pilgrim. Which company carries its members the longest before lapsing their policies? The Pilgrim. Will you explain why the Pilgrim does this? Only to aid its Picy holders, that's all. Which company organized firs among Negroes in Georgia, an occur charter to do business along the Industrial lines? The Pilgrim, of course Which company collected the largest amount of money, accord to the last report of the INSURANCE DEPARTENT, to the Governor of the State? The answer is in the report, The Pilgrim. How can this statement be verified? By referring to the report of the INSURANCE DEPARTMENT, of the State of Georgia How can a policy be obtained with the Pilgrim, in case its agents turn back before they reach your home? By ringing phone 4129. Why has the Pilgrim so many satisfied policy holders? By performing its perpetuated motto, PR MPTRSE, (R I I T T) AND JUSTICE. Why is it so easy to secure new members for the Pilgrim? They have heard of the many blessings it has, and is still bestowing upon its thousands of satisfied policy holders. How long after the death of a member, before the beneficiary can draw the death benefit? As soon as the death certificate is properly filled by the attending physician. How many men and women of our race are employed and are well paid by the Pilgrim? SIX HUNDRED TWENTYSEVEN. Are you being satisfactorily served? If not see the Pilgrim's agents, or ring the office, and your order will be filled, and promptly delivered. Local and long distant phone 4129. Office, 509 West Broad Street, Savannah Georgia J. S. Perry, Supt PERSEVERE My field may be swampy or story, my plow may be poor, my strength small the weather bed but if heartily as unto the Lord I do the best I can and look not back but keep right on, I am no failure. Mahlie D. Babcock Wanted a Sample. A young minister unexpectedly called upon to address a Sunday school asked, to gain time: "Children, what shall I speak about?" "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 declamations, 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's Revenge. A number of years ago Geni Bey, Essad Pasha's brother and, like himself, an Albanian nationalist, was shot by order of Abdul Hamid. For this reason, when the Turkish parliament deposed the sultan, Essad Pasha begged to be sent to Yildiz kiosk 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 tasted 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 yon village, but, mind ye, I ain't always been."—London Opinion Orthography of Shakespeare. Some interesting Shakespeareana 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 Bodielian 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: Shakper, 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. Nutmea.

SURREPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted with- out 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 possible 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 $6,036,001. 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 bolling 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 fair 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 milk 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 Atlanta, Ga., in November of the present year. LIGHT, HENS HEAVY LAYERS. In an article published a short time ago Professor Quiseberry, 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 weighed 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. Quiseberry 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 moist. 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 RAISEERS. 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. Dripp 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 Champillin, 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 designing 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 man in a hat is running across a field. 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 bands, 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 roofs. 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.

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 coneal a man in the chest on which the Turk was seated, but so ingenious was he 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 deliberately made two false moves. The pieces were replaced each time, but on the emeror making a third false move the Turk swept all the pieces off the board. London Chronicle.

Saturday August 8, 1914 Anent the pending bill before the legislature providing a primary election law for this city, our afternoon paper saw fit, as it oftimes does, to reflect disparagingly against our people by accusing them of being vote sellers. This wholesale charge is resented. The vote buyer is as bad and many degrees worse than the seller. All of us know who the seller is. The vote seller is no more prevalent among the Negro than among the class represented by this afternoon paper. We readily recall that some twelve years ago a white primary was resorted to for the election of city officials. The selling of votes was so great and cost so much that it was commonly discussed and since that time no white primary has been held. The enacting of white primary laws will not reach the evil aim at. The elimination of the Negro from politics will not materially help the community. Radical measures like these, eminate from radical minds and thoughts that are radical, result in much harm and act as a boomerang. In his address to the local branch, National Director Geo. E. Haynes of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes struck the key note of popular thought when he said that the two great unsolved problems for the charity-workers of the day, are the economic problem of the masses and the child life of our people. Disorganized as they are, almost without yearning or ambition to improve their lot, the working masses of our people are in a chaotic state. Their crying need today is organization; that organization which will stimulate them to dignify the calling in which they find themselves with a view to self-advancement. In order to do this they must be encouraged, they must be advised by those of us who profess to have their interest at heart. What a great work is this for the local branch of the Urban League. Equally as perplexing and imperative of solution as the economic problem of the masses, is the problem of child life among us. It goes without saying that a large percentage of our growing young people develop abnormally from a moral point of view on account of a lack of the proper environment. Encircled as they are with all sorts of agents or agencies that savor of no good, too often do we find our young people drifting into channels of evil when a little supervision and attention on our part may cause them to drift in the right direction, another great field of endeavor for the Urban League and its fellow organizations, judging by the work already accomplished by the Urban League, we believe that National Director Haynes struck fertile soil in his talk to our people. Encouraged as they were by the presence and enthusiasm of National Director Haynes, we have no doubt that the Urban League will increase its future efforts in behalf of our people. It is our hope that the efforts of the League in the future as in the past, will result in much good for the masses of our people both young and old, in and about the city of Savannah. In this age of peace or the settlements of disputes by arbitration, the very word, war, has a significance superlatively abhorent to us. If, by recapitulation, we go back a few brief years, the first international peace congress held at the Hague comes to our memory. Then, the great world peace movement took its start. Since that time, most of the great nations of the world either as such or through certain of their citizens of authority or influence have signified their desire at least, if not their present willingness, to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks in an effort to avert a repetition of the bloody scenes of battle of a few years passed. "That nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more," has been the cry of the diplomats and peace advocates of the last few years. The partial success which came to the recent efforts of the A., B. C. powers of South America in keeping the United States and Mexico from engaging themselves in bloody combat, inspired much hope in the breasts of those of us who are advocates of peace that the c. vilized world had witnessed the last great struggle between the great nations of the earth. How much blasted, however, are our hope for perpetual peace among the great powers of the earth, as we now witness the titanic struggle for supremacy which has been started in Europe and which threatens the very foundation of civilization throughout the entire christendom! How sad! Think of it! A real war, a great struggle to the death, participated in by the leading powers of civilization in Europe now engages our attention. What a blow to the great peace movement does the present war situation in Europe give at this time! Truly we shudder within ourselves as we count the probable cost of this barbarous struggle to the nations who are now thus engaging themselves. With hundreds of thousands slain on the battle field, with cities sacked and ruined, with fields of vegetations completely destroyed, with business absolutely stiffled, what good can there come out of the present siege of savagery now having its beginning in Europe? Surely, is there no remedy against war? As we note this great struggle altogether uncalled for and unseemly, which now engages Europe almost in its entirety, we very reluctantly but seriously question ourselves as to whether or not the civilization of the world continues on its upward grade. War as we see it, is the pastime of barbarians, it results, most times, from a national sensitivity or narrowness which altogether afflochs the power of reason. The present case is no exception. A little broader policy on the part of Servia and Austria-Hungary, a more innate consciousness of the Golden Rule, would no doubt have resulted at this time in a Europe of peace instead of a Europe torn asunder by internecine and international warfare. At the present time, there can be no correct forecast of the termination of the war and its results. It is our wish that it will neither be long nor severe. Meanwhile we say to the God of peace that in this wish, our hope and prayers are all with Thee, are all with Thee. Mrs. Lucy E. Case After the year at Albany, Mrs. Case was appointed a teacher in the Atlanta University then about to open its doors and was present to meet the first class that entered the school. Her name appears upon every catalogue from the first to the forty-fifth, either as an active worker or as an honorary matron. Beginning as a teacher in many lines, with the growing number of pupils and better organization of the work finally she became Matron of the Boys' Hall. Perhaps it was here that she did her most useful and lasting work. Many a man to-day living a useful and worthy life looks back gratefully to a quiet interview with Mrs Case, in which admonition for work neglected, or rebuke for wrong done, or censure for opportunity wasted, might close with a talk of great spiritual earnestness and a prayer which left him with a great purpose awakened. The purpose that Mrs. Case had in her work in the Boy's Hall (South Hall) may be illustrated in the following incident. I had hardly made my entrance as one of the new teachers in 1887 when Mrs. Case called me into her room and said: "I notice that you wear your hat in South Hall. We try to make South Hall a home and not a dormitory, and so we require the boys to remove their hats, and we ask the teachers to set the the example." In all the years since, I never enter South Hall without that gentle admonition coming to my mind. Perhaps the strength of Mrs. Case's character is best shown by the grace with which she could yield her scepter after having for so many years successfully held it. The second Mother of the South Hall Boys hesitated a long time to accept the position, knowing the first Matron would remain among the scenes where she had ruled so long, "But never," says the second Mother, "did Mrs. Case in any way by look, word or net make the work hard for me." That is, when she who had been queen became queen dowager; she resigned absolutely, so that her presence made easier and not harder a position hard enough of itself. And when with increase of years it seemed best that her home should be transferred from the campus to New England, she quietly accepted the decision without a word of complaint, tho' it may be in the spirit of another who said: "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith" I have kept the faith On her 60th birthday the Junior Class gave Mrs. Case a reception in the Girls' Hall, which some still recall who were privileged to attend. It will please the young women of that class to know that the little series of quotations selected by each and written upon cards and bound with a ribbon was among Mrs. Case's effects, and a number of these were read at the funeral. The closing quotation expresses perhaps the attitude of Mrs. Case's mind during her closing years. "For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, tho in another dress And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars invisible day." Two movements are distinctly discernible in the South to-day, among the whites. One a forward movement, which recognizes the disabilities and restrictions under which the Negro lives and which presses for justice and opportunity for the Freedman's children; the other a reactionary movement which seems to hark back to the dominant sentiment immediately after the War, which seemed determined to hold on to as much of the forms of slavery as the new form would permit. It was this spirit which led to the return of the Northern Army and to "the awful mistakes and hardships and outrages of the reconstruction period." While the writer would comment upon these as "both real and fancied," he would ask what was there in the work of Mrs. Case and of hundreds like her to which the most pronounced reactionary can take exception? Two expressions are made in the south to-day concerning the Negroes. The following quotation illustrates one of these. "The Negro is not only here, but he is improving wonderfully in education and in the acquisition of property ... the figures of statistics are beyond contradicting, the fact that the race as a whole is making forward strides away from gross illiteracy and dependent poverty." The following quotation illustrates the second:— "Wesay—a church paper in the South said it only a few weeks ago—that in a long fifty years of freedom the Negro has advanced so little that his condition is not encouraging." But the writer goes on to say: "If that be true it is a grave indictment of us white folks, for the Negro has these fifty years accepted the conditions we have furnished him.... if there were no encouraging signs after our management of him for fifty years, the difficulty might lie with the management." If the Negro in freedom has failed, Mrs. Hammond places the failure upon the Southern whites. Dr. Dillard refers to statistics to show that the Negro has made "forward strides." An average of the two views might lead to the conclusion that the Negro has made progress, but would have advanced further under a moresympathetic attitude and management in the south. And this leads to the inevitable conclusion that such progress as statistics show is largely the outcome of an innate capacity of the Negro for progress plus the influence of that body of trained teachers from the north who in the past half century have been teaching Negro youth. And of these, Mrs. Case is but one significant example. The passing of Mrs. Case in a sense closes an era in the history of the freedmen. Mrs. Case was probably the last survivor of the little companions that in 1869 opened for the first time the doors of Atlanta University. Perhaps with her death closes an era in which the "forward strides" of the colored race have been accomplished by the Negro himself aided by his northern teachers and friends and held back as Mrs. Hammond suggests by "southern management." May it not be that the new half century shall see not two, but three forces co-operating for the solution of that vexing situation known as the southern problem. In this solution, we count first "the innate capacity of the Negro progress; second, a more sympathetic management on the part of the white south, as suggested by the forward movement referred to above; and third, the continued assistance of the north. And the result shall be an ever widening securing of justice and opportunity for all the sons and daughters of all nationalities and races who call this broad land "Our Country." E. H. Webster. In Memoriam In remembrance of, LUDISKA GORDON, Who died August 7th, 1913. I am lonely, dear sister, without you, I miss you by day and by night. Dear sister, the sun will rise, the sun will set and absent is my Ludiska yet. The night grows dark and still away, how long will she stay? Her foot prints in the yard I see, But oh! they do not comfort me, Her empty shoes, they speak so plain, No more her foot will move again. Oh! well I know it must be so, Where she has gone there I must go, My body too like hers must die, And in the grave like hers must lie. We fail to meet no more below, Where she has gone there I must go, Tis there we'll meet and love to see, How happy, happy we will be. In loving remembrance of our dear, brother, BENJAMIN ROBERTS LLOYD, Who departed this life August 7th, 1913. Brother, thou art gone to rest, And this shall be our prayer. That when we meet our journey's end, Thy glory we may share. Brother, last year at this time you were with us and so was mother too. But today you lie silent in immortal clay and mother by your side. Sleep on, beloved, sleep on, And take thy rest; I have Fasted You, meads, Upon thee, the best We love thee, but Jesus loves the best. Sister, Hattie L. Lloyd Florence E. Gordon Isabella P. Ellis Bros. Samuel H. Lloyd Walter T. Lloyd. - Cards of Thanks. Mr. R. H.

This should be generaus, for the auimal will not be able to masticate its roughage ratton as it should. This matter of the men having to wait for dinner for some time after they have quit their day’s work is just as bad but no worse offense than the good wife having to walt for the men folk after she has dinner ready. Belng late in elther case is trying to the oth- er, and instances of both should be re- duced to 2 minimum.

In case of all farm animais and poul- “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 tme in doctoring them after they get sick. 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 fs, higher in’ the center than at the sides—iles in the fact that the rain falling thereon has a chance to run off without mols- tening the earth to any considerable depth. QHowever, a road that fs well crowned will not give a bard surface for apy length of time unless the area at either side is well drained. Attending a single farmers’ {institute may not impress one with the impor- tance of it as an educational institu- tion. This is the better realized when it is known that for the year ending June 30, 1913, there were 20,640 farm jnstitute sessions held in forty-one states and territories. These mectings ‘wero attended by nearly 4,000,000 peo- ple, required the service of 1,036 con- ductors and represented an outlay of more than $500,000 in way of expenses, ‘Ihe good results coming from these meetings could hardly be measured in figures. ‘A reader of theso notes in a conver- sation with the writer the other day reported a fine stand of onfons except on those portions of the patch where ho had scattered ben manure. The manure was molst and went on in a. more or less chunky conditfon, with’ the result that it proved too much of ‘2 good thing and killed out the onion plants because it was too strong. This experience suggests the fact that hen manure is a very concentrated fertil- Szer 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. As an argument of the necessity of forming cow testing associations A. J. Shethdidac her See shot cites the fact tat whereas the price of tecds at Detkt, N. ¥,, has to- ‘creased 69 per cent in the past fifteen Fears, the price of whole mix has ad- yanced’by but 39 per cent. In view of these figures it 1s his contention that cows that were kept at a ffir 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. i ca So. ae os Se AX ey.

This Is made expedient by the fact that in- fected seed potatocs have been shipped out of Maine, where powdery scab now exists. Recent tests justify the depurt- ment’s scientists In recommending 2 thorough dusting with flowers of sul- phur after the potatoes have been cut as a precaution agalust the disease, but the treatment 1$ by no means Intended to take the place of fortialdebyde ns a general | disinfectant. The department advistS the use of both formaldehyde and sulphur. Before cutting thé potatoes should be soaked for two hours in a solytion of one pint of formaldehyde to thirty gallgns of water. They should then be allowed to dry quickly either in the open or while spread out on, a clean floor. ‘This is known to be ‘effective against common scab and blackleg and should therefore be employed In all cases, Whether It is equally effective against powdery scab is doubtful, and for this reason the uso of sulphur is strongly ndyised in addition. The po- tatoes should be cut first and then dusted thoroughly with flowers of sul- phur. A general use of this treatment is advised.

Every possible effort is being made to prevent this disease making {inroads on our po- tato industry, and the co-operation of all interested In this crop is much need- ed in dealing with this new potato malady. Powdery scab does not attack the portion of the potato vines above the ground. It is primarily a disease of the young tubers, which develops as they mature In the ground. The dis- ease fs wade apparent by small, slight- ly raised pimples and n slight discol- oration of the surfuce. When cut open the infected nreas appear faintly purplish and extend from approximate- ly the outermost cells of the tuber toward the deeper layers. The powdery scab fungus, if con- ditions are favorable, ‘may eat large cavities siuto the immature potatoes, Besides consuming purts of the tubers, it stunts ‘thelr further growth aud causes them to be deformed. ‘The seriousness of powdery scab may be realized from the following state- ment by a conservative Canadian scientist: “The disease should by no means be regarded lightly.

A group of boys and girls in south- western Towa are this season taking part in a contest thatsought to bear frult in a better and more intelligent type of Quirying 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 lne 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 beingchecked 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 is 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 it contains. Wher- ever possible the contestants furnish a small testing outfit and do the work themselves, but where testers cannot be secured the samples of milk are tested at the creamery or statton where the test 1s made, The kinds of feed used and the-amounts of each consum- ed are carefully recorded {n order to determine the actual yalue of each cow.as a producer. Ieed schedules giving the value of the common grains and roughages are furnished, so that the cost account may be figured 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 carried on and the benefits derived, the prizes awarded being upon the thoroughness with which the testing work ts done and the fullness nnd nccuracy of the records kept. "Breeders of dairy cattle and dairy supply houses bave assisted by offering valuable prizes for the boys and girls who make the best showing. Threo 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 otber dairy equipment. HORSES VERSUS MOTORS. As long as ten years ago it was pre- dicted that the automobile would put the horse out of business. That this process Is likely 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 were 40,109 one horse vehicles in Chicago, 17,640 two horse vebicles, 331 threo horse figs and 34 four horse rigs. In the same year there were 436 and 863 auto delivery trucks of less than one ton and more than one ton cs- pacity respectively. Early in the pres- ent year the census for the four kinds of horse vehicles were in the order abore given as follows: 38,305, 15,851, 256 and 17 respectively. ‘Bhe two sizes of motor trucks had increased to 2,448 and 1,759 respectively. GETTING RID OF CROWS. Where crows do not pull corn and kill Uttle chickens it 48 generally con- sidered that they do ‘more good than harm because of the fact that they de- your large numbers of beetles, cater- pillars and mice. Where they do in- dulge in the two practices referred to an excellent method of putting a stop to their depredations ts by Killing sev- eral crows and hanging them up on long poles. There is something quite suggestive in the sight of a still crow at the end of a long pole, and the live ones that remain are quite Ukely, to fight shy of the places where sich crows aro on exhibition, The writer has tried this method-and found ‘it very satisfactory. If the crows are too wars to sit for a shot at from twelve to fifteen rods one ought to get a bead on them at a greater distance with a good target rife. ° A CHINCH BUG PARASITE. An entomologist of the Kansas ex- periment station has discovered a para- site which lays its eggs within the eggs of the chinch bugs, and it is 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 egzs 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 laid 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- tlons, from elght to ten generations being produced.

Little Grace, who had recently entered school, brought home some pumpkin seed one day and told her mother that the teacher said that although the seed was white the pumpkin would be yellow. "And what will the color of the vines be?" her mother asked. Grace replied that the teacher had not taught her that yet. "I know, dear, but we have pumpkin vines in our garden, and you must know what color they are." "Oh, of course I do, mother, but we ain't supposed to know anything until we're taught." replied Grace convincingly.—National Magazine. The Gordian Knot. When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg." Her Choice. They were sisters-in-law and reasonably well disposed toward each other.

"Marian does not seem to grow very fast," said the mother of George, with a suggestion of commiseration in her tones. "George is much taller"—(height being measured in inches). "Perhaps he is," replied the mother of Marian coldly. "but Marian weighs more." "Oh, well," responded the sister-in-law, with a smile of high bred superiority. "of course I should not wish George to be gross."—Exchange. Ocposites. "It's such a world of opposites," says an observer. "On one side the rich, on the other side the poor.

Making the Little Farm Pay EGGS become so cheap in summer that in order to clear any money poultry owners must have a select trade to sell to, or else batch chickens and supply the market with rollers and roast- ```markdown ``` ers. The broiler trade is attractive, as hotels, restaurants and clubs require an almost unlimited supply of these plump chickens about two months old and weighing two to three pounds. To make money reasonably fast one needs two or more incubators and should keep bens 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 hatching should be clean. If not clean they should be washed 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 carefully or the jarring of the contents may ruin it 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 prevent their becoming chilled. It is 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 the center and locates the air cell. Eggs waiting for incubation should be kept at a temperature of about 60 degrees F., although they will stand a variation of temperature from 40 to 100 degrees. They should not be allowed to dry out, nor should they be exposed to a current of cold air, steam or vapor. During storage eggs for incubator use should be turned every day. Hens kept in unhealthful quarters or too closely confined are not likely to lay eggs that will produce strong, healthy chickens. Hens suffering from disease or infested with vermin may lay, but eggs from such hens will rarely hatch, and even if they do hatch the chicks will not be likely to mature into vigorous or growthy fowls. Hence, in order to secure hatchable eggs the hens must be healthy, have plenty of exercise and be fed upon an assorted or balanced ration. An exclusive corn diet will not make for fertility. Fowls in confinement must have a mixed diet and plenty of ground bone, with meats, clovers or other substances in the line of nitrogenous food. It is wise to aim at uniformity in age, size, color and breed. There is a great deal in selection, and this goes back to the parent stock before the eggs are laid. If the flock 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 production. They will begin laying when prices are high. Pullets will begin laying at five to seven months of age, according to the kind of blood in them. Nearly all the pullets hatched in March will begin laying in October or November, just in time to furnish a supply of eggs when prices are highest. A good plan is to bring pullets along steadily without forcing, and they will be good size at six to seven months. Keep the flock divided and do not let males run with pullets the first year, or while the eggs are wanted for market. When wanted for hatching let the males run with them, twelve or fourteen hens for each rooster. It is obvious that the best results economically come from chickens running at large on the farm. With but little attention they gather the greater part of their food, and it is properly balanced at that. In order to provide a large grain supply at the least expense a nearby tract—say the orchard—should be planted to wheat, the chickens being confined until it has come up well to prevent scratching out the seed. When ripe the birds will attack the crop, doing the reaping and thrashing, with no attention whatever from the owner. Circular and Flat Beds. A charming circular bed can be made from a combination of blue clematis and pink gladioli. The clematis is planted in the middle and trained low over the bed on wires about one foot apart and fifteen inches from the ground radiating from the center. The gladioli grow up through the wires. A simple and lovely flat bed can be made by sowing a carpet of sweet alyssum, Little Gem, white, and dotting it with Lilac Queen. To Preserve Plants. A good method of preserving plants that have been transplanted and before their roots have taken hold of the ground is to cover them with inverted flower pots of suitable size. These should be in place only during the warmest and sunniest part of the day. They should not be used on dull days. They prevent the strong sun from scorching the foliage and also help to maintain the moisture in the soil.

The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern-white china with a broad blue band-Pall Mall Gazette. Mme. de Stael. Bonaparte said France was not large enough for himself and Mme. de Staal at the same time and exiled her. Next to Bonaparte she was, through her salons, the most powerful personage in the country in her time. "If I were empress of the world," exclaimed the brilliant Mme. de Tesse, "I would command Mme. de Stack to talk to me forever." How Amber Is Obtained. Almost all the amber comes from the coast of the Baltic sea. Amber is a fossil resin. After a storm large quantities of it are washed up, and the fishermen go out with draguets and haul it up. All finds must be delivered to the Prussian government, which has a monopoly of the industry. It owns a large mine at Palmnicken, where hundreds of miners are employed in digging it out of a stratum of blue earth. It is turned in lathes and carved principally by women, and all the debris is used in making varnish. THE Crisis is the best New States For sale at Young's W.

LATEST STYLE SILVER CARRIAGE; FOR HIRE 605 WEST BROAD STREET Johnson Undertak —COMB The Royall Under (Inco The logbook of Columbus is said to have borne repeatedly the entry, "This day we sailed on." That is all. Behind lay defeat; ahead lay hope; aboard ship seethed distrust. In the face of fear and suspicion and tradition Columbus sailed on. The lesson is one for life. Juvenile Reasoning. It was a very youthful class in physiology. "Why," asked the teacher, "is it best to eat soup first when one is very hungry?" The pupils stared at her blankly. Then Jamie enlightened them from the depths of his own experience. "You can get it down faster," he announced.—Delineator. Paganini's Cab. On awakening one morning at his hotel in Vienna Paganini, the celebrated violinist, was informed that the cabman whom the previous evening he had employed to drive him to the concert hall where he was playing was waiting to see him. On being admitted to his presence the man, after having advanced poverty and a large family as an excuse for the request that he was about to make, prayed the great musician to make his fortune. "What do you mean?" demanded Paganini. "Authorize me to write in large letters on the back of my vehicle these two words, 'Paganini's Cab,'" was the answer. Consent was given, with altogether satisfactory results. Bro. M. C. Campbell has returned from his trip to Augusta, Ga., where he visited Traveling Pilgrim Circle No. 10. Bro.

On recommendation of the pastor and the superintendent, John W. Agnew, the church readily consented to the change of the Sunday school from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The change will take place Sunday and so continue until further notice. Tabernacle . Baptist . Church On last Sunday at the close of the communion services of the First African Baptist church, the members of that church extended their sympathy to the pastor and members of the First Tabernacle Baptist church by donating them the sum of $7.99 toward helping to complete their new church on Alice street. The pastor, officers and members of the First Tabernacle Baptist church thank the First African Baptist church most heartily for their donation. Negro Business League's Weekly Letter-by J. C. Lindsay In our letter of last week, we casually mentioned the fact that our time and space were too much taken in trying to tell the public of the men and things worth while in Savannah, to stop to give notice and publicity to the empty headed, blatant mouthed dudes and minnows, who can neither help nor hinder any cause. It was the late Sam Jones who said: "the hit cur will yelp." So, friends, whenever you hear a cur yelping you may rest assured that he has received a kick or a blow and he is simply trying to attract the attention of the others of his kind to himself. Just here we wish to call your attention to the number of employees of the seven Negro industrial insurance companies in this city alone, and their magnificent pay roll. These seven Negro insurance companies furnish employment to one hundred and forty eight men and young women of the race, right here in Savannah, alone, and paid these one hundred and forty eight Negro employees for the week of July 1st, 1914, $1,766.70. These figures are not given to the public as a matter of guess work, or "catch as catch can," but the several managers had their book keeper to take time and pains to go through their records and see to it that nothing would be given out to the public but facts. I am sure that you are some what surprised at this great army of men and young women being furnished such profitable employment by men of your own race, right here in Savannah, alone, for I am frank to confess that I am both startled and surprised. Just think of one hundred and forty eight Negro men and women receiving $1,766.70 for one week's pay at the hands of seven black men, right here in Savannah. But think how this army of Negro employees would be doubled and trebbled in this city alone, if we would only stop long enough to take the time to think. Right here in Savannah alone, there are five other industrial insurance companies whose officers and directors are composed of members of another race, whose business, life and existence depends upon the members of the race of which you and I form a part. Just to give you an opportunity to think upon the seriousness of this proposition, permit us to ask you how many members of the race are employed by the last five mentioned companies? Don't answer right now— Here the curtain falls. It has been our privilege in this and in other states to talk with high class men of the other race, who were frank to say to us that they could see no just reasons for thoughtful-men and women of the Negro race not supporting one another in legitimate businesses. These high class white men every where are constantly advising our people to encourage and support one another in business. So far as the management of the several Negro industrial insurance companies is concerned, we assure the public that we have no complaint to register with reference to the support you have given and are still giving the companies represented by us, for you it was who made it possible for us to hand out to one hundred and forty eight Negro men and women on the first week in July 1914, the almost seeming impossible amount of $1,766.70 for one weeks pay. These are some of the accomplishments of the Negro Business League whose headquarters are at 457 West Broad street and which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings of each month. $1.00 joining fee and 25 cents per month for dues.

A Skip and Jump Age. Carelessness costs many a life, it sacrifices many a fortune and ruins many a promising prospect. A crusade for efficiency may be carried too far, but it is sadly needed. We live in a "skip and jump" age. Somebody tells some one else of "a good thing," and some one else proceeds to buy it because "somebody" did. We ape all kinds of queer fashions—in dress, in modes of living and in everything else—doing it thoughtlessly, carelessly and indifferently. Then we wonder why some succeed and so many fall. Perhaps the "some" are not so careless. Perhaps the "some" do a little more thinking than the others—Jasper in Leslie's. "That actress 'is doing wretched work in the laundress' role." "She's playing it true to life." "How can you say that?" "Isn't she mangling her part?"—Baltimore American.
