Two days later tho price of butter dropped In his town market and with a sort of union-like sympathy. Mar tin's iMittcr dropped, Joo only his went down the well.eVompanled by the old rtflken bucket? Martin let the butter remain In the water and bought' a new bueket. Recent rains raised the well vhusu ally high and Thursday, . while casu ally looking Into the well Martin, saw the same old two pounds of. butter floating about serenely. He fished it out and he and two neighbors tasted it straight and with bread. and, strange as It may seem, the 13-year-old butter was as good and sweet as the day It was made. All three have made affidavits to the butter's good condition, and as all three are living today it must be so. Df RI1AM & SOtTTHEKN RAILWAY. rM-tiednle in Effect May 2, 1009. 1.

Dollar or So, anl the ivood It Will AlTHMiiprK.li ' on Clay br SaiM Clay Koads is Incalculable. lly DTj3?sep1i Hydc-rratt, Doubtless every bhe his heard of the slit-tog drag and khtiws In a gen eral way of its construction, but,, of this number very few know ehcaghj about It or realize Its value sufficiently to convince them that they! should try it Manv of those who have used It, and any one who will' put his convic tions and knowledge into practice with some degree of persistency, will be abundantly rewarded by the Improved condition of the road. There is often a disposition on the part of v many people to ! resist any change or Invention Introducing a new custom, largely on account of a lack of knowledge and skepticism regard ing Its effectiveness. Knowing as we do, however, what great gopd the split log drag will ; accomplish, ; we would urge all those who reside In the clay district to try the use of the road drag, at least In a small way. . , IfoW to'Make a Road TJrag. The making of an effective, drag is so simple and inexpensive that almost any ono can do the work. ; Take two pieces of timber 4 by 10 Inches by 7 feet and set edgewise 36 inches apart. Fasten rhese together vwlth two pieces 2 Inches by 6 Inches by 4. feiet long, grained In the top edges and securely natled with 40s nails to hold the drag pieces up on their edges. Bore a hole through the end of the tie pieces and use a chain (two trace chains will do for nn experiment) to pass from one hole to the other like a bucket bale. How to Use flic Drag. This drag can be hitched to so as to give it any angle desired and either end may be carried forward by shift ing the hitch and the chain. Throw a board on the drag for. thei driver to stand on and drive up and: down the road when It is wet. If ypu have an old cast-off wagon tire, ptynch holes in It about six Inches apart and nail It to the front, drag at the bottom for a catting edge. The. entire thing need not cost a dollar, including the time; for any old bridge timbers or,, other stuff may be used If soundand, If that Is not available, you can get a log and split it open and use that as the name hn plies. Any one with intelligence enJush to, own two horses has all the natural ability required to enable him to make a practical drag and use it intelligently. v J , ; , . Clear Out SfumpVnd Itoeks add Toii Can. Use tlie Drag. , In fairness to the people, it should, be stated that the valid reason why the drag Is not used is because. In many instances, the road is not in con dition to be benefited by the use of the drag, because the road has never been free, from stones, stumps and, other obstructions. These must be removed and the road rendered fairly even. The drag will then finish the smooth ing., and. if used faithfully, will effec tually" harden the surface so that little Impression will lie made In the road by travel, even In wet wrather. Only In rare cases where the clay Is so sticky and picks up on the wheels will this fail. In such cases a j little soil top-dressing to prevent this sticking to wheels will be found excellent re lief, and then the drag will do the rest. A Suggestion for County Road Author ities. In view of these facts, would it not be well for the road authorities to plan their work so as to make , the drag a more generally used means of road re pair for all clay, safid-clay or gravel roads? If all this were done and the farmers Instructed in the use of the drag and induced to use It, the bene fits arising would be untold. A COMMON ECONOMICAL' ERROR. For many years It has been the cus tom of Southern farmers to : make their crop upon the advance systemt and while this has beeri regarded as an economic error on the sidft of the farmer, by many merchants It has been thought that It was a - very profitable way Of buying cotton. The farmer realized that as a matter of safety It was better t make the food consumed by hi family and stock upon the farm rather than to purchase It and especially when he had to promise payment out of a crop which had not as yet been made; J have been watching this phase of country life In the . South for many years and have cdme to the conclu sion that the "advance 'system" is Just as great a mistake on the part of the merchant 'as it Is on the part of the farmer, for the following rea sons: First, the merchant takes great risks, which, of course, "he tries to cover by Increased charges. But even' though the charges are in creased, the staples of life are not tfuch articles as -a high percentage of proBt wni adhere to, 'and the mer chant Is practltally trading; gold for a promise to pay. If the crop falls, he is obliged to "carry and carry and carry and possibly may ultimately, as in thousands: of ceases, be obliged . take the farm, for which he "has no, use, and under b61J ' Weevil conditions is difficult to handle profitably I upon ' a tenant system. ' . ... . ... n, ;,.! .."'-. ; i Under a cash system there will be A great reduction in the sales of some l staple: foods such, as bacon, -potatoes, j Wans, lardt;vegietablea.:xaTined goodav hay," corn. etc.. all artleles that carry low profits. The farmer Is rarely r hoarder of money and - If he saves two hundred dollars or taiore by pro ducing all his food supplies at home, he has that 'much more to spend vhen his crop is made, and It' is cash. Under a cash system the farmer will buy with his. surplus more dry Joods, clothing, -shoes, furniture, etc., or 'his family, better' teams, farm implements, wagons, buggies,, etc., on which there is a much greater profit for the merchant than on staple articles of food. The merchant can turn his money in thirty days, instead of a year. Ten per cent clear profit turned monthly is better than 120 per cent gain received annually. Some of the farmer's increased income goes Into permanent Improvement to enable the farmer to produce - more . and spend more annually. Again, there Is something about raising cotton, tobacco, etcv to pay a debt that. saps the. vitality ot the farmer and affects . the quality of his tillage. It really Jowers the grade of farming. If, upon the other hand, the merchants ' will - Join with ! us In urging farmers to raise all their food Supplies and try to produce by" better tillage double the1 crop per acre they now produce, the result 'as i It affects the merchant will be thlsj.. IV,- All business will soon be on a cash basis and the volume will be three or tour times as large from the-fai'mefs alone. The advent of more money will bring diversified industries among the farmers - and j eventually will attract manufacturers to the market towns. 1 If there are idle farms in the country, Instead of calling : meetings for the purpose of raising funds te secure immlgratlbh, call meetings' to encourage the farmers iwho - know Vt .. . j I i . in e i wu uii y aiiu aic toy mi iu ik, iu universally adopt the following plan: First, provide their own food supplies from the farm. Second,- double the average product on every acre under cultivation and let each worker on the farm by, the use of better teams and tools, till three times as many acres as ,at. present hot In one crop but In a variety ' 6f " diversified and profitable crops. This would cause an Immediate demand for more land ind would provide, the money to pay for It. This makes every man on the farm more than six times the' Indus trial power he how. is" and gives Mm s tove of the farm.1,sThls1is better, than to leave hjm J1) , discouragement arid Secure immigrants to come and buy im out. - - -- ; w , I should not speak 'so positively, only I have observed for a quarter of a century that where the 1 Southern hterchants have- changed from an ''advance system" to a cash system they have prospered very much more than In former years ' and the num ber of failures is immensely - less. Of course it is not meant that there Should be no credits but , practically there should be little necessity for. them until the crop Is actually ready for the harvest, then trade .becomes a cash transaction. , Or .better . still, the farmer can . get his .inoney from the bank and pay cash in all cases. If there is lack of ready money. . The advance system bearsc down upon the cotton, farmer with special hardship. His crop Is either sold at once or Is forced to the gin . and the warehouse so as to secure loans. If the cotton farmer is not forced to sell to raise money or pay debts he will store his chops on his farm and mar ket at his leisure, which Is In the In terests of all parties. ; It appears to me, therefore, that Ihe farmer will Immediately . gain When he produces what he has hither to bought in the way of rtvlrig. He Is not compelled to sell his crop im 'mediately upon the harvest' When he does sell he trades for cash. The greater amount of money he has Is yery helpful to the family but the stimulus to his self-respect Is per haps the most Important; item to .be considered. The merchant . prospers by the greater volu'fn,e of business and by the quick return of his money. It seems to me that these points should be urged upon all ihe people.
