Af? You Trylnar to Farm Without
Sufficient Power?
Ag a general rule, wo believe that,
notwithstanding the greater tirst
? coat, it is cheaper for a man to do!
> his work with improved and elabor- j
9 orate than with crude and simple1
implimenta. The moat expensive
plowing is* not that.done with a big
gang aud a gasoline engine, but that
done with one little mule and a one-j
horse plow. It is cheaper to use the i
binder and the threshing machine
than (he sickle and the Hail.
This is why we believe it is to the
intereat of the tanner to unload just
as many as |H>ssiblts of his tasks on j
tl"* lmfllllll 'i i lim' -irgsd j
him to get the slumps out of his
fields and till tip the ditches and use
bigger plows and harrows and eylti-1
va tors aud more harvesting ma-1
ohinery; why we huve advised him!
to put tile burden of just as many as
possible of the tusks in and about'
the home upon various machines? ,
the pu op, the cream separator, the i
washing machine, etc.,?instead of
upon his wife and children. And i
since to run all this machinery power
of some sort?horse, steam, gasolene,*
electric?is a necessity, we would insist
again that no reader make the 11
mistake* of trying to run his farm , j
without sufficient p.?wer. .Many_ini- ?
' ' pliments which might be used to ad-:
? vantage on tbeii farms, many farm- j K
ers must wail for because they can g
get along fairly well without them,

ent the money with which to buvI
them- hut we doubt if i: pave anv
. ' I
farmer to "economixe" in power. |
The insufficiency, of the work stock j
on tnoat Southern farms makes tlie
cheapest and the most effective \
farming impossible, and along the '
same line we would call attention to
the many exacting and wearisome, 1
tasks on the average farm which j
could be done with a small gasoline 1
engine to the great relief, as well as i f<
to the financial ben fit, of the farmer ti
and his family. There are some
farms where by taking advantage of J ^
a waterpower now going to waiste, I
an electric motor could be made.to]
do economical and wonderfully use-1
ful service; but on most farms the j
gasoline engine is probably the best j n
source of power for the doing of the ,
numerous "odd j >bs"' and for some j ,
of the study ones. We do not be-] j
lieve it is too much to say that every
well equipped farm should have an
engine or motor of some kind; and
that this power should be oonaid- j.
ered along with the question of
more team force.?Raleigh fN\ V.) :

t
On Wedues lay morning February j
22nd 1911, this community and sur- ^
rounding country was shocked upon j
hearing that Mr. Bryant W. Pace, ,
of Haysville township, had commit- r
ted sutcice at his home by hanging ,
himself, itr his cetton house by usiog f
a rope that was formerly osed for j
weighing cotton and left tied to the .
beam of the house. Stepping upon a .
lime barrel plaoing his head through (
Tim rope?and?jumping off onusing -
his neck to be breken instantly. Mr.
Pace had been in bad health for
six months or more, having softening
of the brain and other complications
which was accountable for his
act. He has beeo under the constant
watch of hia family for a long
time they knowing he was not himself
at any time. On the morning
of the 22nd he got up early made a
fire in the range as ususl and went
to feed the hogs and came back
through the cook room and went to
his room to warm, but stayed only a
few minutes then went back through
the cook room where his wife was
and on out of doors. His son Mr.
S. A. Pace went in the oook room
and asked bis mother where father
?- was she said he had just gone out
of doors, and hiaVon went to look tor
bim finding him hanging just inside
the cotton house door. Ha rushed
to him lifted him up and called for
his .brother, Mr. B. N-. Pace and together
they took him to the house
oaly a law steps away. Bat they
wets too lets his soul had flowo to
the God thai guvs it.
Mr. Pace was 81 years old, born
in Frsnklin county was the son of
_ Mr. sad lbs. William R. Pace. Ha
was married April 7th 1870 to Miss

naming it a cellar balanced plant

will be greatly promoted by mixing

if the liquid portion of the manure
ha* been carefully saved, there will
not be much deficiency in potash,
but on sandj toils it is better to add
some muriate of potash, say 30
pounds to the ton of manure. Now,
while I do not think that for ordi
naiy farm oiops it pays to compost
and fine the manure, it does pay
for the garden. I would pile the
manure now and scatter the aoid
phosphate and potash through it,
placing it in a broad, flat heap As
soon as signs of heating show, turn
it an i re pile it in the same llat heap.
Then make lasers of tine nl.iek
