TOP NOTCH FARMING, r,
Boer Georgia, boys, members of the
Boys’ Core Club, raised 824 bushels
of corn oh four acres of ground this
year, the production of one acre
reselling the record mark of 227
boohels.
In the language of the street, these
boys are some farmers. They didn’t
make this record by the expenditure
of prodigious physical strength nor ty
sitting on the fence watching the
elonds and cussing the government
' and politicians. They were simple
minded enough to believe what they
road in books about the value of ferti-
lisers, of the right kind of cultivation
ami the right kind of seed and they
patiently applied the knowledge they

Did you ever notice that where an
old hen stopped to scratch any length

of time that phe attracted the atten-
tion of every fowl wi thing seeing dis-
tance of Her Why? Because the
other chickens knowing it is not April
Fools Day know that she is on the
track of something worth while, and
the next thing you know all the chick-
ens are scratching for dear life. That
old hen is being imitated because she
has found out something. The same
is true of people—let one man find
something—a place to make some-
thing, a better place to trade, to fish,
play or to do anythihg else that goes
to make up the human life, and he
had gained from study and observa- will draw a crowd. If you want to
draw a crowd around you start some-
thing—put out a drawing card, adver-
tise it like the hen did when she
started her scratching. At a time
when you think the world Is dead and
on the bun* get busy yourself and you
will find a good following. Univer-
sal business will be the result of the
combined efforts of people. The old
hen may be imitated to a great degree
in any place, and Tio place will suffer
if her example is followed. Remem-
ber she didnt know she would find a
bug—she was just after him and she
found, him.—Ex.
Two hundred and twenty-seven
bmdmls of corn per acre! If every
fanner in the country had duplicated
toe record of these four boys the
Baited States would have produced
enough corn to supply the world for
seven or eight years. Stated another
waf, such a yield per acre would have
eaabled the fanners to reduce the
corn-acreage nearly eight times with-
out reducing the total yield,, a saving
of labor and other expenses that
wesfld have added an enormous sum
to the earnings of the tillers of the

It is, of course, Impractical if not-

TWO GOOD ROADS DAYS.
Governor Colquitt has issued a pro-
clamation designating Dec. 1st and
2nd as good roads days in *Texas, and
is ae follows: \
“Whereas, an adequate system of.
improved public roads is one.of the
great needs of opr State, and good
roads Jend powerful aid. to everything
good in modern life, while, bad roads
form an obstacle in the way of pro-
gress, and, recognizing this fact, the
people of Texas have taken hold of
this problem with tremendous interest
and it is now one of the foremost
economic questions confronting our
people, and much good work has been
done throughout the State in the last
few years in the way of improving
our public highways.
“Now, therefore, realizing the ne-
cessity for a system of work along
this line, and in conformity with my
sense of duty in this matter, I hereby
designate Dec. 1st and 2nd as good
rqads days and call upon the people
in every county and section of the
State to mak preparation for working
the roads on those days and. have
meetings to discuss ways and means
in the future for building good roads
in the various localities throughout
the State generally.’
MEDICINE BOTTLE8
PLACED ON GRAVE
v --
Colored people have strange ideas
• f
and superstitions,, some of which are
entirely beyond the understanding of
the white man. What, for instance,
could be the idea in placing a lot of
1
unused medicine on the grave of one
who has just passed away? Perhaps
the custom or superstition is a new
one to you, but those who have visited
grave yards of the negroes know that
this is frequently done, and an in-
stance or it can be seen in our own
city cemetery, the eastern edge of
Which contains a section occupied by
graves of colored people. There is at
least one grave there, evidently a
newly-made one, on which will be
found six bottles, each containing a
small portion of medicine. Deceased
had evidently been dosed from these
bottles before his death, and when
his body was deposited in the earth
tie bottles containing the unused
medicines were placed on the grave.
There is no hearsay about this; we
have witnessed it with our own eyes.
We have heard of other cases, but
this is one ofr which we actually know.

EXAMPLE OF JEWISH CHARITY.
The following is an example of Jew-
ish charity in the war, translated
fro mthe Jewish “Warheit” by Rose
Cuengenl, Denison, Texas:
Martin Barenburg, who is now di-
rector of three sugar factories in a
city close te Odessa, Russia, has taken
upon himself to support the families
of the reserves in six surrounding
villages during the war.
The total number under his care is
1,280 persons.
livery family gets flour, sugar, but-
ter and all other food products that
they need, besides 4 rubles every
month.
Through his help the farms near
these villages are being cultivated.
He also gave 10,000 rubles to keep
up a hospital in Orsana for the woun-
ded soldiers.—Exchange.

ANNUAL INCOME FROM 5 ACRES.
? ‘ • -• y w • _ j .. . 7 .
A machinist in a railroad shop, who
was of middle age, had saved a few
hundred dollars and with it bought
five acres of land on the edge of the
city. Later he built a cottage on the
land and moved his family there. Pay-
ing off the mortgage on his own home
in the suburbs was not a heavier bur-
den than the monthly rent of a city
flat and brought decidedly bettor re-
turns;
This man did not know anything
about farming, but he made it his
business to learn, and he never made
the same mistake twice. He stocked
his five acres for growing cherries,
apples, grapes, currants, gooseberries
and black and red raspberries. He
kept the soil rich and had late crops
as well as early ones. The commis-
sion merchants that handled his fruit
said it always brought top prices, be-
ing of the best and arriving always
in first class condition.
Every summer 21,500 worth of fruit
is marketed from these five acres and
the owner says that when he finally
leaves the shop and can give his full
attention to his land he can easily
sell $2,000 worth. In the meanwhile,
this $1,500 a year has dispelled the
bugbear of fear that haunted the man
when he could *see no future after

Wm. F. Anders of 1625 Cleveland St.,
Waco, Texas, testifies in strong
terms for Grigsbys LIV-VER-LAX.
This gentleman is employed by Hill
& Campbell Grocery Co., and we pub-
lish his statement in proof of the
claims made for this wond«rful liver

feet until he tried LIV-VER-LAX.

was cured of his troubles along this
line and does not hesitate to say so.
He further says that LIV-VER-LAX
helped him the first day he took it.
Others suffering from Constipation,
Biliousness, stomach trouble or other
malarial symptons should follow the
lead of Mr. Anders.

RECOMMENDS COT-
TON SEED
The first of September found my
egg basket empty and my fowls to
the^ midst of the, moulting season. I
•
then got a sack of cotton seed meal
and began to feed ' sparingly of a
mixture of this, bran and chops,
gradually increasing the feed and it
a short time was furnishing the fom?
ily with eggs, and the plumage of my
birds was glossy and now.
At the same time a lean unsightly
Jersey cow was turned in my let,
which the neighbors eyed suspicious-
ly, but I kept firm in my belief that
STOCK would tell. A genuine Jer-
sey, she elevated her nose at the
sight of alfalfa hay but was always
eager for her hulls, meal and bran.
At this writing her Jerseyship is a
thing of beauty and the quantity of
milk and butter she makes proves her
a joy forever. And Why this change?
.
The very same feed, and more of it
than changed my biddies “Hark frees
the tomb” melody to the gayest “twe-
step” known in chickendom.

DAMAGE TO COTTON.
. .-'V = imaw! n» toufc.
A great truth was recently uttered
by J. H. Connell, president of thfc
Southern Cotton association. He said
that the South would get rich in a fe>w
years if the damage to country cot-
ton were eliminated. But along with
the elimination pf country damage
ought to go the prevention of cettoa
yard damage. Too frequently too
bale, after it passes from the farmer
to the buyer, is left out in the open,
exposed from above to the weather
and from below to the accumulation
of dirt. Of course, this latter deteri-
oration does not come outv of the pro-
ducer, but it helps to depress the par-
ticular grade in the general market.
To store cotton is a good thing;
to protect it from deterioration Is a
better.—Fort Worth Record.
