ICE YOUR WORKING HOURS
let Better Implements and
j Will Do Better and Have
ore Rest Hours.
; hat our Southern farmers
nly need to do is not to
j , rish the delusion that farmers
fcther sections have a better,
nate. but to practice a better
time of working hours. The,
'jjhers in the West have not
'I found that they can ac
.fplish a great deal more with
if labor if they used improved j
or-savingmachinery, but many
jkem are finding out that they
[accomplish just as muchi
I shorter hours of work if
[ use more system. A case
bint was give me by Mr.
D. Christensen. of Litchfield,
nesota. "We had a famers'
ib," he told me, "and in dis
cing the matter, we decided
{ft we could get just as much
j|e with shorter working days,
ftead of keeping at it sunup
Kpundown now. therefore, my
P hours are 7:30 in the morn
§i until 5:30 in the afternoon:
id by fi:3o p. m. I have every
pg finished, and I really do
pre work in this shorter-hour
il than I used to do when I
OTked all the time. Moreover,
A policy has made all the ditl'er

all drudgery: now they get

'oufcing day and the neighbor
ed social meetings that they
re no longer leaving the farm
I formerly "
J have no doubt but that 80
accent of our Southern farmers
mid accomplish just as much
jrworking shorter hours. Then
' they lengthened the midday
SB period in summer so as to
the proportion of work
(flssary in the heat of the day,
work would be even
jfcsanter here in the South
Jin the North—provided we
the same labor-saving and
bor-easing implements and
•chinery. Which reminds me
»tl was about to forget to say
Nit a great portion of the two
jse cultivators in the West are
(lipped with umbrellas or can

ft only to ride while he works,
9to sit in the shade while he
frks.
■Jor need we delude ourselves
Ih the idea that we cannot

■s, harrows, and cultivators
South about as generally
If in the North. There are
lainous sections, of course,
the land is too rough: but
ct is that even in our
n region w(iere the land is
il as a dancing-floor, it is
common sight, in spring
to sec six men plowing a
apiece- And perhaps you

may soon learn to make as much
profit as the Western farmers
make and to do it with as little
muscular labor.
But we Jan never do it with
the one-horse system and the
one-crop system.—Clarence Poe,
in The Progressive Farmer.
More Common
Sense Needed.
Piedmont Springs, July 28.—1t
is regret that I feel compelled to
write these words. Especially
among a civilized and christian
people, I say christian, but alas!
not christian every time. To
see some people turn up their
nose at girls who are at honest
.work I think is the most foolish
thing on record this day and
time, 'lust because every one
is not a first-class stenographer,
book keeper, or teacher of the
highest grade is certainly no
reason why a girl should be
slighted or looked down upon,
I mean a respectful girl who does
some or all kinds of work
which is classed as "servants
work," by a tip-top fool. In a
good many cases the giris who
do the servant kind of work
passes better blood in their
vanes their their opponents.
I am not taking up for such
work in the least as every girl
ought to be educated in some
trade or profession of her choice
and it is a great mistake for par
ents not to educate them when
they can, even if they have to
makea sacrifice to do so. But I do
admire the example of our great
grand mothers in their endless
toil of keeping clean, good house
keeping, good cooking, and their
high standard of good morals,
and on other hand I abhor the
lazy, indolent novel reading,
going to shows, waltzing kind
of girls who looks down upon
her superior who does the ser
vant kind of work.
In the Bible we read that every
one ought to earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow, but
alas! how many do this?
Don't we see nine out of ten
girls especially in towns im
posing on their parents just
because they are too proud to
do some kind of work to help
support themselves.
A girl that does right will be
right every where she is placed.
It is not the work that make
people what they are, but its
the people who work in the
right way that keep the world
going.
A man may admire the busi
ness woman or one who looks
down on house work, but one
out of ten even make a happy
! wife and home.
1 want to say this to my op
ponents. If the respectful work
i ing girl is looked down upon
for her honest work whatever
it may be. How will you look
upon the disrespectful girl who
does not work at all. What we
need is more common sense
used along this line.

THE iMNBURY REPORTER
The Steel Drag a Success
On Sand-Clay Roads.
The "chain gang," consisting
of from eight to 20 Negroes and
in charge of a competent over
seer, have built a great many
miles of road and they have al
ways given good satisfaction,
especially when they were drag
ged when necessary. The
I "gang uses an eight-horse road
machine that brings the clay,
sand, etc., from the sides to the
middle thereby making a roof
shaped road, one that will readily
shed the water. The convicts
who do not handle the machine
shovels and pick to work up the
low places giving the foundation
an even surface.
I have seen good roads in very
bad shape due to the negligence
of farmers living on them.
They failed to drag at the
proper time, hence an outlay of
cash to put them again in shape.
But the steel drag has come to
stay and is a powerful factor in
maintaining good roads. I have
used one and find that it is the
best road tool we can have.
Just use a shovel to fill in the
holes and let the drag pulled by
three or four good mules or
horses, do the rest. Always
work the dirt to the middle,
making that higher than the
'sides. —R. W. Hart, in Progres
sive Farmer.
When you have a bad cold you
want a remedy that will not
not only give relief, but effect, a
prompt and permanent cure,
a remedy that is pleasant to
take, a remedy that contains
nothing injurious. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy
meets all these requirements.
It acts on nature's plan,
relieves the lungs, aids expect
toration, opens the secretions
and restores the system to a
healthy condition. This remedy
has a world wide sale and use.
and can always be depended
upon. Sold by all dealers.
