MUS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. A Batch of Live Items Culled From the Pap of Oar Neighbor Counties. ers CLEVELAND. Shelby Star. July 11th. Six living grandmothers is th record for a new baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Grady Withrow of Holli;, this week. Grady With row is the son of "J. P. D.," the well-known merchant. He mar ried Miss Cora Martin and both mothers of the child's parents are living, making two grand mothers. Then the child's grand mother's mother and grand father's mother on both sides of the house are living, making four great grandmothers. This repi esents four generations which in itsef is not unusual, but the fact that the two grandmothers and four great grandmothers are all living is remarkable. CATAWBA. Nawton News. July 8lh.

There are two suckers which grew out from the roots of the main stalk, and one sucker con tains two well developed ears of corn, and the other three. There are three ears on the main stalk, making a total of eight ears. This shows conclusively that it pays to let the suckers grow. Rev. Peeler helped ordain Jno. C.

O. Nel son, the hustling, red-headed, wide-awake leader of co-opera tion in Svea, what was their rural school tax, he almost struck me dumb when he answered promptly: 'Seventeen mills or $1.70 on the $100 of proparly." Of course, this is ' something unusual. It is, in fact, nearly double the local school tax the Svea folks usually pay. Two or three years ago, however, they decided they wanted a hand some new building and in dustrial features agriculture fcr the boys and domestic science for the girls together with transportation of pupils living over two miles Irom the school (two miles in a blizzardy Minne sota winter is the equivalent of four miles in the South;) and so the folks didn't say, as I fear they would have said in nin' tenths of our Southern communi- ties, "Well, we have got to the thirty-cent limit for local school tax and they ain't nothing more we can do." The State of Min nesota, realizing that the educa tion of the people is the life of a State, imposes no such hamper ing limitation upon the tax its people may vote for education; and the people of Svea set no such miserly limit upon their support of schools for their boys and girls. One dollar and seventy cents on each $100 worth of property was the tax they voted altho they had only one school organization to keep up.. Our Southern communities with two separate school systems to main tain frequently boast themselves mightily for voting a thirty-cent tax on themselves. We South erners have simply got to go down into our jeans for more money if our farm boys and girls of the new generation are not to be hopelessly outdistanced by the thoroughly equipped, practi cally trained boys and girls of other sections. Eight months term a year with two teachers a man who teaches agriculture, a woman who teaches domestic science; com pulsory attendance from eight to sixteen; free text books for all pupils; a good school library; re productions of noted pictures on the wall all these together with a prospective eight-acre school farm, have the farm parents of Svea provided for their boys and girls; and we of the South can provide similar opportunities for our children whenever we are willing to make similar sacri fices or investments. And twen ty years from now we shall have an incalculably richer country if we are willing to make such in vestment sacrifices than if we are not. and is now the mother of ten Elk Park experienced its sec" . baby tuikeys.

W. F. Massey, in the Progressive Farmer. How to Care Pea Hay. W. F. Massey, in the Progressive Farmer. Begin mowing when the peas turn yellow in the pods. Mow in the morning till noon; if possiblej run a tedder right after the mow er to keep the hay tossed up to hasten the wilting. Rake into windrows that afternoon. Next morning turn the windrows with the rake while the mowers are run ning on other parts. That after noon put this hay into cocks as narrow and tall as will stand well. Then, as soon as you can take a handful of the hay and twist it and can wrine no sap to the twist, haul the hay to the bary and let it settle with its own weight with out tramping, and then let it alone and it will cure all right. If it heats some, let it heat If you go to stirring it to cool it, you will let in germs of mold from the air and will have moldy hay. Now, I have cured it in this way many year and never maae any moldy hay, but had it come out with the leaves on and green in color, and far better feed than the usual assortment of sticks to bleach and the leaves to get drv and crisD. In fact. I have found curing peavine hay as easy easy as any other hay 11 you simnlv let it cure and do not "monkey" with all sorts of scaf folds and contrivances that mere lv drv the hay and lose the leaves, the best part of the hay.
