feg-i: ; 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, and hpftAUSM th?v h.ir? nnl ?i ??ro?. , ?j ? - ? r? i | 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.) : Progressive Farmer. Mr. Pace Dead. 9 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 ! V A"-* - ' Isabell F. Fuller and their union I was blessed with thirteen children ten boys and three girls. About SO years ago he joined old Flank II Chapel M.

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.
