Provide cool, stables. Re . move the manure and provide plenty of doors and windows, and keep them open day and night. Put bars across the stable door that it may be kept open as well as other doors. 2. Water often. Water at least six times a day—eight or ten is better. Water after supper and water before breakfast. The nights are too long and hot for " the horie to do without water. Take your horse to the watering place so he will ihink about water and not oats, and drink. Water often. Don't forget it. Water your horse. 8. Feed regularly. ■ Feed regu larly as to time and as to quan tity. Do not feed much corn in summer, but feed more oata. Feed very little green food to working atock. Feed most of your rough feed at night. 4. Keep your horse clean and bitch him in the shade. Prepare the bed before putting your horse away at night. Make it dry and comfortable. Curry him or rub him off well before putting him •way at night. The dirt and sweat ahould not be left on the horae. Be sure to curry him again in the morning. Wash him when he needs it. Hitch him in the ahade. Never hitch in the sun. If the ahade ia not where you are, go to the ahade and hitch. 8. Do not overwork or drive your horae. You can take off more in a day than you can put on in a week. Be careful, you can ruin your horae In an hour— you can ruin him in half an hour when the weather la warm and sultry.

Martha Lawrence, who recently died in Warren oun ty, Ky, waa the granddaughter of a man who waa born In 1694. More over, her father was the flrat white child born in Kentucky. Michael Goodnight (probably Gutnacht in the orignal German), born in Germany in 1694, emigrat ed to. Virginia in 1708. He mar ried early and one of hia sons was present with George Washington and Daniel Boone at Braddock'a defeat. He moved aubaequently to North Carolina, where he became j many years later an ardent sup porter of the Revolution, in which several of hia aona fought. His first wife dying he remarried in his old age. When he was past 80 he penetrcted the Kentucky wil derness on an exploring expedition with 30 men, under the celebrated James Harrod. He returned to North Carolina for his family, in tending to bring them to Harrods burg, which others of the party had chosen as the aite for the first settlement in Kentucky. But When they were within a day's Journey of the fort they were attacked by Indians at mid night of September 1,'1775. Mich ael Goodnight and most of the party were killed, but some es cuped in the darkness. Among them was Mrs. Goodnight, whom moil from the fort found two days Inter - lying unconscious in the woods. Four months late* a son, the first while native of Kentucky, was born t> Mrs. Goodnight at Harrodcturg and was named Isaac.

SOME OLD PROVERBS. Well Begun It Half Ended. Prom Bailey's Dictionary, 177#. All the actions and enterprrises of mankind labor under the re flection of this quaint moral sen tence,' whether they be prudent or imprudent in the undertaking and good or bad in the accomplish ment. It intimates that persons should be very. deliberate and ad vised in the beginning of an jin dertakibg; for that to begin well is the only way to quicken and dispatch the end, let it be what it will. It intimates that there is a great deal of difficulty in be ginning well, and that a false step at first start is hardly to be recovered afterwards; that the work does not cost half so much work as the designing of J it, that it is an easy way when the ice is broke. It reflects upon false foun dations and foolish projects, and it halds good from morality and worldly affairs to religion. ••Oat of the Mouths of liable*" -* London.—"Do you know what will happen if you tell a lie?" was asked a boy witness in a Bow Street Court.

Still better than another. Had it been his sister, N6 one would have missed her. Had it been the whole generation, Still better for the nation. But since 'tis only Fred, .

Mr. E. J. Justice a Candidate. Mr.. B, J. Justice of Guilford county has issued the following statement. Friends throughout the State have expressed a desire to know whether I will be a candidate to succeed Senator Overman as United States Senator, and I think it the most convenient and frdnk est way to deal with the situation to state publicly that I do ex pect to aspire to the honor of rep resenting North Carolina in that exalted position Later I shall fully state the rea sons why I presume to hope that if elected the opportunity will i thereby be afforded to, consecrate j the position and what of ability] and talents I may have to the service of the State. In the mean time it is my sincere desire that my course as a citizen and as a public official will not be influ enced by my candidacy or by any personal ambition If any occasion arises in the futute to decide be tween the path of duty and per sonal . sacrifice on the one hand hand and of selfishness and policy on the other, even though the lat ter course seems to indicate per sonal advantage to myself, I ask no more than that in such event I be given, the wisdom, virtue- and patriotism to pursue the course that will enable me to retain my self respect and the commenda tion of my conscience, and that I may so walk that it may be truly said that I did not "sell the truth to serve the hour." I do not intend by this an nouncement to indicate a pur pose to carry on a long xcampign that will tend to unduly attract the attention of voters from other matters. It will be nearly or quite a year before the voters of the Democratic party select that par ty's candidate for United States Senator to be voted for at the general election in November, 1914. I am not inclined, if I were in a position to do so, nor could I if I were inclined, carry on a long active campaign. My finan nancial needs and limitations force me-to devote myself diligently and almost exclusively to my private business for many months to come. I deem it sufficient at this time to make this brief statement, and I trust I may say with propriety that my posTtion on, public ques tions is sufficiently well known and has been consistent enough to make a more elaborate statement at this time unnecessary. I-have an abiding faith in the wisdom of the voters of North Carolina, and respect their right to govern themselves. I shall there therefore, await their Judgment, amd when Tt is rendered 1 will ac cept it with respect and confidence in their wisdom. E. J. JSTUICE.

SHALLOW CULTIVATION. Agricultural College Brought It U At tention. ' "The increased yield of corn, the result of knowing the effect of shallow cultivation, will, in a sin | gle year pay the cost of maintain ing all the agricultural colleges of | the United States for a quarter of a century." , We reproduce the above' para graph from the June issue of the North Dakota Farmer. Our ob ject Is two fold. At this season of the year the practice of the prin ciple involved ,cannot be too con stantly urged. The illustration made by our contemporary is ex ceptionally apt because this prin ciple. and method ot conserving soil moisture were first dem onstrated and practiced at an ag ricultural college. , In 1878 Levi Stockbridge, profes sor of agriculture in the Massa chusetts Agricultural College, con ducted a most ingenious practi cal and conclusive series of plant and field experiments with soil moisture. Three different kinds of soils were in the experiments. One sample of each kind was culti vated daily to a depth of four inches. An identical sample, with all other conditions the same, was left uncultivated. The difference in water content of the different soils was determined by actual weight. The average daily evapo ration from the cultivated soils was 1,798 gallons less per acre than from the uncultivated soils. In other words shallow cultivation saved 1,798 gallons of water daily per acre for the . use of crops growing on the - same. In the published of these experiments the statement was made that: "Cultivation conserves soil moisture. Lack of cultiva tion hastens evaporation of I 'soil moisture." This was the first enunciation of a new principle and recommenda tion of a new practice, which has since become almost universal. The reason for the new practice was clearly explained by its orig inator. and has often been repeat ed it in these columns. Cultivation destroys capillary action by sep arating soil particles so far "that water cannot pass the open spaces water cannot pass the open spaces and move upward to the surface, where it would evaporate into the air. The importance of this new dis pensation is measured by the il lustration given by our contem porary in the "Dry Farming" coun try. It is no exaggeration to say that it has revolutionized mod ern farm practice and transform ed half of the American continent from a region of agricultural haz ard into a section of great pro ductivity. . The principle is universal in ap plication. Now is the time for its practice. While following t"his now ap proved practice for crop making and crop saving, let us not forget that it all came from an agricul tural college.—Southern Ruralist. PorCuta, Hums and llruigcs.

The North Carolina negro whose article appeared in last week's Progressive Farmer struck our white people in some sore spots and we might as well admit it. It has long been a disgrace to our race, for example, that thou sands of our white boys and girls at a tender age are shut up in factories, gaiping .neither educa tion nor physical development, while negro children are out on the farms building tip strong bod ies and going to school as regu iflarly as the school house door opens. No wonder this negro says of the boys and girls of his race: "They can't get into the fac tories, and I thank God tot it." Here is something for our white race to think of 1 This negro also makes a charge'for us to think of and smart under, when he says while negro children will go to school if they have enough clothes on to keep the constable off them yet "because some of you white people cannot dress your toys and girls just as well as anybody, you will not send them to school." This is an indictment which -White people have often made of one an other, but if the negroes are them selves bragging that for this reas on they are putting their children ahead of white children education ally, is it not high time for' us to change matters? _, / , It is frequently said that what we need in the South to-day is compulsory education everywhere —for the special purpose of reaching the .white Children, be cause the negro children are al ready in school. It is certainly enough to make any white man burn with shame to have a ne gro boasting that he is constantly pestered by having illiterate white people ask him to help them out about reading and writing. Is it not high time to compel white children everywhere to attend school and save our race from such humiliation ? iWe shadl also do well to ask our selves if we must not plead guilty to the two other charges this ne gro makes in conclusion—first, that too man white men are losing property as well as physical stam ina and moral vigor through whis key drinking; and second, that too mapy white jjeople have developed the "boss habit", the desire to loaf while bossing others' labor instead of doing real work themselves. No race can maintain its power with out a passion for industry, and it is true that- in the fierce struggle for supremacy any race must suffer just in proportion as its members weaken themselves by vice and dissipation. This Nqpth Carolina negro's let ter may make some of us mad but the best way to answer it is to charges. 1: Let us have better child la bor laws to give at least a ne gro's chance to our white~"boys and girls in the factories. 2. Let us make it impossible (by compulsory education) to have a negro complain that white illit erates trouble him to read and write letters for them. 3. Let us ostracise loafing white men and boys,, let us teach that no man is respectable unless he works and so disprove ther charge that the white race is inferior to the negro race in the first fundamental of civilization—a willingness to work, 4.
