' Of course I would not dare by any means as sert that the lack of a public library in a town is evidence that ji ij de. stitUto of these cbaracteristic.. fea- itures of progress ana eeherat pros perity. A' hi wn may possess both intelligence and wealth to a great degree and yet have no public library This may be due to the lack of careful thought and a gen erous public spirit along this line, Until people think they never act. In crder that they may think and act, some one must bring the matter in question before them. ? Any qjies-1 tion of public interest must be kept before the people and agitated until they become impressed with " the fact of its being a public necessity Any public .necessity is a public benefit ; and I believe ievery intel- teligent man and woman in the town of Graham will readily concede the fact that a good library" and reading-room established in our midst would ' be a public benefit, whether or not he is willing to ad mit that it is aa yet a public neces sity. I know of no public enter Dnse that would, with the same outlay of; money, do as much to ward elevating the standard of gen eral intelligence and morality in this as a good library and reading- The environments of young neonle lareelv determine character and character, we all know, fixes destiny.; There is a class of- young DeoDle here who will have some place of public resort where they can -spend their evenings together. Then, in the first place, a public library and reading-room . would furnish a safe, first-class public re sort where the young people would be Drotected from many, forms of vice to which they would otherwise be exposed. As it is, young men in their nightly gatherings,- doubt less, frequent places of questionable character, where there is nothing to elevate the mind, but rather where there are tendencies to drag it down into verv low channels. In the sec ond place, the reading of good liter- ture would rapidly develop the power of thinking in many of our young people, give them Jiigher aspirations, and start them on a career of usefulness in life. There is in this, as well as in every other community, too much mental energy lost thought going to waste. A good public library would remedy this in a large measure, ine ex pense of starting a good ' library would be . a mere trifle compared with its benefits to the community. Books are very cheap now, and with $150 or f 200 the nucleus of a good library could be established. , itn 1200 from three to five nunarea copies of good books could b ob tained. In connection with the library there should, be a reading room of sufficient capacity to accom modate forty or fifty pereorw, in the Dailies and a number of the sUndard literary magazines, should be constantly kept. I would be truly glad if some of the enterprising cituena of the( town woulJ lake hold of this malter, and push H to a triumphant Boccesi. j It can b done. There are good men here who are well able and, I believe, would be willing to contri bute liberally to the establishment of a public library. Iam confident that those who decide to convert some of their wealth into the meant of developing brain power will never ha ve cause to regret it, A man may accumulate wealth and so use it as to make it an evidence of his worldly success, after which but little in bia favor can be said ; but if, be, directed by an unselfish, irom pure motive, puts a 'part of it into brain power, ho will have the con solation of having done his duty to humanity and to God ; and no one can deny that it may redown to Ir's uappiness and glory through all eternity. --J.

Kaffir corn ia nn excellent forage plant and should be nsed . by farmers far more thnn it is. There are two kinds, tbe White and Red (or brown). I prefer the White, but .the Bed will perhaps, make a little larger yield on rich land. The white variety can be thrashed, cleaned and ground into meal and makes good, healthful - bread. It most be borne in mind that kaffir is a dry weather and dry lund plant It will make a wonderful growth on wet, rich bottom land, bat is apt to mold in the bead and the seed to blast or the grain not properly ripen and be hard to cure when harvested, but on moderately rich upland, where the climate is some what dry, either kind will flourish. It is a drought beater, of tear making a fine crop of grain and fodder when corn would be an entire failure, i It Is splen did feed for cattle, horses, sheep, bogs, all kinds of poultry except ducks and geese, wbicb cannot pick it up well un less mixed with bran or ground and mixed with milk cr water It can be fed to cattle, grain and fodder all to gether in the bead. Tbe beads can be cut off and fed to bogs and poultry and fodder given to horses. . .If you, wish to feed the grain lo horses, it is best to thrash it and have it ground coarse (or cracked) or soak in water until swollen. In Texas it may be planted from Marco to July, often making a good crop planted on oats stubble. The land should be well plowed and finely put verised before planting. If you have a two borse corn planter, take your plate wbicb has tbe most boles, place it on some flat, smooth surface, melt some lead and fill tbe boles, smooth off tbe lead so it will work smooth in planter; then take a small handsaw file, if you have nothing better, place It in a brace, secure plate or have some one bold It while you drill a bole in center of lead. Don't make It too large at first Try with seed nntil you see it will drop re quired amount of seed, then put seed In yonr planter sod drive, running planter as shallow as will cover tbe seed. It is necessary to have the seed clean snd free from pieces of tbe bead. Then if you live among the atnmpa and plant and farm tbe old way yon can prepare land as above and take off aboveland mark off your land with stock, making a furrow about two Inches deep sua three to four feet apart, drill aeed by bsnd, being careful not to drop too much seed i then cover with a light drag or barrow. When two or throe Inches bigb, bar row it welL Then in a week cultivate with small shovels neat to the row with fenders on. By tbe next time you cul tivate you can use larger shovels with fenders or witbont tbem, as you choose, bearing In mind the object is to keep soil loose and grass killed until the corn la about waist bigb i then it will take care of Itself. Don't ridge it up much unless yonr land la wet If yon do not wlab tocultlvate and cut and shock tbe crop and wish to harvest with a mow er, plant with planter as directed above t then straddle yonr rows and double plant it and wben grain is in dough state cut and cure well. Directions above given apply to sorgbum also. I have raised several crops in tbia way In the west and some in Texas and bare generally bad s good crop of it our greatest difficulty here in eastern Texas being to get it cured without molding. I have given instructions which appear best from my own experience, hoping it may be a help to some one, says a writer in Texas Farm and Ranch. Oae War Pat Plan Oat a Oraaa. While among tbe farmers In Wiscon sin we ran across a novel device a movable pigpen, which many of our readers who keep In a pea pigs wbicb a MovAsm riorsa. they wsnt to put out to grass win find very useful, aays a Farm end Fireside writer. Tbe illustration will show bow it Is made. A pair of old wheels of any kind will answer. One corner is roofed over and floored for a sleeping pen or shelter during a storm. A trough is also permanently attached to the opposite corner.
