Why They Fail.
It is not difficult to under
stand why some fail in farm
ing—not a few of those found
in this business are wholly un
fitted for it. They never Beem
ro know how to make the most
of their land, their horses, their
cows, their hired men, or them
selves. They pay for first cost,
taxes and labor on three acres
to keep a cow, when one acre
will do just as well or better.
They keep six horses in stabling,
feed and harness, when four
could do as well. They keep
cows that give but COO gallons
of milk, or 150 pounds of but
ter in the year, when by better
breeding and better feeding
they could easily double the
production. The extra horses
and cows and the lack of suit
able arrangements required an
extra number of hands. More
head work on the part of the
master would enable fewer men
to do more and better work
everyway .—Exchange.

Stop the Rabbits.
In some sections of the coun
try rabbits are very destructive
to young orchards, doing a vast
amount of damage. An efficient
remedy is to take a quantity of
warm lard and with a brush ap
ply it to the trunk to the height
the rabbits cannot reach above.
Rabbits will not eat things that
are greased. —Emery Snider,

Shelter for Hog a in Wiuter.
In protecting fattening hogs
from the cold of winter, it is
best to depend rather upon
slied3 and windbreaks than on
a large araouut of bedding.
When chilled by exposure, hogs
will invariably pile up, and
with large heavy hogs this will
prove disasterous to some of the
herd where numbers are kept
together. Too much bedding
will only add to the danger.
Last winter a neighbor, on one
bitterly cold night lost more
hogs than would have paid for
help to have made a warm snd
sheltered place for the swine to
sleep in. A hay or straw bed'
three feet high at the back and
tour and half feet high in front,
facing the South, would have
cost him nothing for material,
as it was lying about his place
unused, aud if he himself could
not find time to construct the
shed, he could have hired the
work done for less than the_.£ost
of one hqg. It is looking at
such things as these in time
that marks the difference be
tween the successful and the
unsuccessful farmer. New
England Homestead.
Every man in the county
should take his home paper aud
keep up with the news at home.

Teachers in Demand.
A demand for teachers has
come to Raleigh from Boston.
President Winston, of the A. &
M. College, has recently receiv
ed requests from Boston for
young men qualified to teach
along industrial lines. One of
these requests says : "We are
especially desirous of finding
good teachers in the following
specialties: Civil, mechanical
and electrical engineeriug.
Sloyd aud manual training,
geology ami geography, agri
culture, veterinary-science and
animal husbandry, farm su
perintendents and dairymen."
The salaries of teachers along
these lines are higher than for
similar talent in other lines. A
bright young fellow, well edu
cated industrially, can always
command a good salary,
whether as teacher or 'worker.
Heretofore most of the 'gradur
ates of the A. & M. Qollege have
gone into lousiness, where the
remuneration is both high and
certain. Now that the demand
for industrial teachers is so
great. President Winston
thinks that many of our boys
will equip themselves for the
teaching profession. It is rath
er remarkable for Boston to ap
ply to Raleigh for industrial
and technical teachers, —News

will be visible to all North and
South America, in the Western
part of Europe and Africa, and
in Northern Asia. /
The fifth and last eclipse for
the year will be a partial eclipse
of the sup on October 31st.
This eclipse will not be visible

Judge Clark and "Jube'' Emory.
When Justice Walter Clark,
of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, was Superior Court
Judge, he held a te/m of court
in Raleigh. Swift Galloway
was prosecuting attorney and
had a number of cases on dock
et in which the proof was very
weak and unsatisfactory. Sev
eral of the defendants in these
casg9 were acquitted in consecu
tive order, and the court and
Galloway became so chagrined
at the repeated verdicts of "not
guilty," that Galloway moved
the court that the entire jury be
discharged, which was immedi
ately done, Judge Clark admin
istering a severe rebuke to them
for their failure to perform their
duty to the State. The defend
ant who had been acquitted just
before the jury's dismissal was
one "Jube" Emory, who had
been indibted for gambliug. The
members of the jury filed out of
the court room and wended their
way to the office of the clerk to
draw their per diem, "Jube"
bringing up the rear in good or
der. When they reached the
office of the clerk some person
who had been upstairs and had
seen "Jube" on trial, asked him
how he came out. "Oh," said
the gambler, "I came clear, but
damned if they didn't convict
the jury."—Col. J. C. L. Har

Newspapers the Best.
A few years ago it was said
that 40,000,000 advertising cal
endars had been given away in
a single year, at a cost of $l,-
000,000, This year, it is stated
most of the leading establish
ments will not distribute cal
endars, preferring to add the
sum they would cost to their
newspaper advertising appro
priations. Nearly all schemes of
publicity are worth something,
but it is undeniable that the
very best is newspaper adver
tising.—Philadelphia Record.
"Some time ago mv daughter
caught a severe cold. She com
plained of pains in her chest
and had a bad cough. I gave
her Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy according to directions and
in two days she was well and
able to go to school. I have
used this remedy in my family
for the past seren years and
have never known it to fail,"
says James Prendergast, mer
chant, Animto Bay. Jamaica,
West India Islands. The pains
in the chest indicated an ap
proaching attack of pneumonia,
which in this instance was un
doubtedly warded off by Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. It
counteracts any tendency of a
cold toward pneumonia. Sold

WANTED WIFE NO. 14.
There is a doctor in Goshen,

Nicholas Vanu v who having

and has advertised for a new
wife. For so old a man, who
can only say : "1 divide my af
fection with the thirteen I have
put under the ground," ho is
very particular. He advertises
that he "prefers one that is
young, plump, a light blonde,-
handsome and musically in
clined." To this advertise
ment the venerable suitor has
received over 200 answers. As

A LITTLE BOY'S LIKE SAVED.
I have a few words to say re
garding Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It saved my liitlo
bov's life and I feel that I can
not praise it enough. I bought
a bottle of it from A. E. Steere,
of Godwin, S. D., and when I
got home with it the poor baby
could hardly breathe. I gave
the medicine as directed every
ten minutes until he "threw
up" aud then I thought sure he
would choke to death. We had
to pull the phlegm out of his
mouth in great long strings. I
am positive that if I had not
got that bottle of cough med
icine, my boy would not be ou

Some merchants don't look at
newspaper advertising right.
They regard it as an expense.
Advertising is as much an in
vestment as store rent, clerk
hire, etc. Any investment may
fail to be profitable, but there is
less danger of failure to make a
profit from judicious advertis
ing than from other invest
ments. To get the best results
from advertising some consid
eration should be given to it jost
like other features of your busi
ness. You would not expect to
plant a crop and get the best re
sults by paying no further at
tention to it; neither should you
neglect your advertising.—Kin
