TO MAKE MONEY IN YOUR 1907 FAR1INQ. Some Suggestions to Be Consider ed In the Year's Plans-Oat Hay to Supplement the Corn Supply. Pits Enough for Next Year's Pork, and the Best Uarden You Have Ever Had. T. J. W. Broom la Prncreutv Farmer. At this season the farmer is plan ning bis farming operations fur the year, securing bis labor supply snd getting things in readiness for the busy spring season. And never was there time when he needed to proceed with more caution and painstaking calculations than right now. We write from the view point of a cotton farmer. The scarcity and high price of labor, the increased cost of farm supplies, coupled with the uncertainty of the price of cotton, and the certainty that there can be too much cotton made to make the price profitable these facts should cause the cot ton farmer to think long and well before staking his all on a cotton crop. WHAT THE SOUTH NEKDS. The great need for the develop ment of the agricultural resources of the South is not iinniigrauts, as some seem to think, but it is the inculcation of right ideas and cor rect principles of agriculture into the miuds and practices of the peo ple we already have, and nothing will enforce them so much as the scarcity of labor. We certainly don't need labor to enable us to make more cotton. The fear that we will make too much cotton has become as a nightmare to the cot ton farmer already. But we have not started to write about immigration. We want to talk about farming, and we mean farming not merely cropping or robbing the land; and if we can help some struggling farmer to get out of the ruts and get on the smooth track, the purpose of this article will be accomplished. PI.ANNINQ KOK 1907. We said in the beginning of this article that at this season the far mer was planning. Now, reader, what kind of planning have you been doing Have you been study ing to improve in your methods! Have you been storing your miuds with ideas and suggestions to be put into execution during the year! Have you boen keeping abreast of the times by reading the best agri cultural thoughts of the day' Are you interested in yonr business! l)o you love your workt Why are you farming! I'RKPARE NOW FOR YOl'B MEAT Bl'PPLY.

If you have no pasture, fence a lot in a shady place and feed kitchen slop, pall gram aud weeds for them. There is always plenty of these. Clover, oats snd rye would be better, (live a little grain or mill feed; but don't make the ni intake of feeding all corn. If you do they will always remain P'K- l'lant two or three patches of corn for roasting ears, at different date the last about July 10th or l.Vh; and when you eat corn give the pigs some, stalk and all. ion should have a sorghum patch near by for feeding in late summer aud fall: this will be good for your stock and cattle also. You can fiuLsh by feeding corn for a few weeks. Kill one hog for Thanksgiving, another for Christmas, and if you have others, a week or two after Christmas. By following this nieth od you will have spareribs, back bones, and sausage all winter aud plenty of meat to do you until the next Thanksgiviug, aud when you try to figure the cost it will be like trying to figure the cost of a glass of soda water at a drug store. HOW SOME OATS KOK HAY. Have you got corn euough to reed your stork until next tH toberT If not, take Charles Cotton Moore's advice and sow oats for hay. Put them on good land and manure or fertilize them well. 1 ou can begin cutting and feeding any time after they bead out, but cut the whole crop just as it reaches the dough stage. We have never fed any thing that stock and cattle relish so well. You remember 1!H)1 was a wet year. The first of January, 1902, we had thirty bushels of corn, and two mules and three pigs, and a family of five to feed. By pursu ing the method outlined above, we kept our mules fat, carried our pigs along and arrived at October with about three pecks of corn left. Necessity forced us to adopt this method, and it has proved so profit able we have been following it ever since. But we do not stop with the crop of oat hay. We follow with peas, or peas and sorghum, and thus get two crops of hay per year. The oat hay will come on earlier if sown in fall, aud the laud improved if crimson clover is sown with it All should be cut when crimson clover is in full bloom. This is our method. HAVE YOU A KEAf. GAKDENt Have you a garden: we mean a real garden, a plat of ground wired in near the bouse have youf Or have you just an onion and cab bage patch of! in the cotton field somewhere! If you have not a real garden, and really want to live and enjoy life, select a good plat of grouud near the house and wire it in right now. Don't wait; there is no time to be lost Put plenty of stable manure on it broadcast and we should have said make it plenty large: not less than three- eights or half an acre. At this same time drop a postal card to some reliable seed house for their seed catalogue aud from this cata logue select a list of such vege tables as you desire, with due re gard for earliness. HOW TO FERTILIZE THE VK(.E- TAHI.KK. By the time you have gone this far you will find the whole family intensely interested in that garden, and you will order a greater varie ty than your Congressman has ever sent you aud better suited to your needs, too. This done, get you some truckers' fertilizer, or some high grade fertilizer, and 50 or 100 pounds nitrate of soda and you are ready for business. I should have said for you to order your cabbage plants for early cabbage. Use the fertilizer lavishly in the drills, aud when your pluuts and vegetables begin to grow in the spring, sprinkle a little of the nitrate of soda around them, taking care not to touch the plants with it Culti vate frequently and you will soon be living like a king. WITH A GOOD KAKDEN YOU LIVE LIKE A KING. As fast as one crop is off, put in another to come on in its season. And if you live near a town or city you can sell enough to more than pay the expense of fertilizing aud cultivating. You will be surprised at the va riety of thiugs you can grow in a garden of this size. Iu the way of small plants, yon can have grapes, strawberries, gooseberries, and dewberries; you can grow corn, beans, peas, okra, cabbage, pota toes, onions, radishes, beets, let tuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, tur nips, squashes, melons, peppers, sage, asparagus, and celery if you wish, aud many other things. But the point we want to make is for you to have a real garden, and take an interest in it aud you will soon find it a source of profit, health and pleasure. It will save doctor bills and be a joy to you every day in the year. It is a farmer's privilege to live like a king. Header, are you en joying that privilegef Union County, K. C A Valuable Lesson.

A Cheerless Time in Spain The People of that Country Have a Hard Time, but Are Cheerful and Contented The Bull Fight and the Prize Fight M'npyrlKhte.t. lw. by a. P. Bea.ry.) Leav ing Paris for Spai n we passed np the fertile valley of the Seiue for a few miles. The valley is densely populated and the villages are so thick that it is almost one continuous town. Leaving the Seiue to the left, the train dashes across an undulated country iuto the valley of the Loire and follows it to the old city of Tours. The Loire is one of the many large ri v ers which have doue so much for France. Its bei has been raised by alluvial deposits uutil the water is now higher thau the adjacent country and must be kept in by large levees or dykes. Crossing another broad ridge of rolling country we entered the valley of the Garonne, a river which is a mile or more wide, upon which is situated the commercial city of Bor deaux. All this section is histori cal grouud. From the territory thus traversed came the Huguenots, who migrated to America upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes and who settled iu the Carolinas, irginia and Maryland. Their de scendants are some of the best citi zens in our country. But before that, it was in this territory near Poitiers that Charles Martel broke the power of the Moorish invaders aud perhaps saved Christianity from total annihilation by the Moham medans. If that left wing of relig ious fanatics which entered Europe through Spaiu could have met the right wing which entered through Turkey, they would have planted the crescent over the ruins of the cross. Very few English sieakiug people visit this section of trance, although it belonged to England for 300 years at one time, and the traveller experiences more difficul ties in getting along. At Bordeaux I wanted to get certain informa tion, bnt they spoke French only. I know a little French but I am sorry of it. It has done me more barm than good. Their way and my way of pronouncing the same words are utterly different, aud they either talk too fast or I hear too slowly. At any rate, I see that "a little learning is a dangerous thing" and that my Freuch is no good. The guide books did not give the location of the American consulate, but simply stated that his name was "A. W. Tourgee." Judge Tourgee once resided iu my State and I knew that be had been dead for quite awhilo. As I was aware of no method by which I could open up communication with him, and could not locate his sue- cessor, I had to go without the in formation desired. V bile strolling about the Bordeaux harbor one day looking at the ships, the din ner hour arrived and we entered a restaurant for a lunch. I gave our orders in English but in vain. I tried my French again and suc ceeded in making the good lady of the house understand the word beef. I gave her enough money to pay for two dinners, leaned back in my chair and began boasting to my wife about my French scholar ship. Meantime our landlady bad darted out the door and up the street In a few moments she placed in front of me a piece of raw beef big enough to feed a cage of tigers. The word beef was all she bad caught aud she was filling my or der. I was sorry then that I had boasted. I returned to the primi tive language of man, blew in my hands aud rubbed them and at the same time nodded at a portion of the raw beef. She understood that much better than she could my French and soon had before us some splendid steak. No Exchange of Courtesies Between France and Spain. From Itordeaux to Spain it is a poor, dull couutry. Much of it is covered with small pines which are bled for rosin. v hen I saw so many pines and turpentine distil leries it made me home sick. As one goes south it is interesting to observe the gradual change in the language and complexion of the people. Ou the i rauco Spanish border, the French language is not" that spoken at Paris, and the Span ish is not that spoken at Madrid. Like the waters of a clear stream and of a muddy one coining togeth er, that below the confluence is un like that of either above. The language spoken on the French aud Spanish Lorders is called Basque. It was Basque to me. 1 heir dialect is a cross between the goose and the guinea. It was impossible for me to get any of my ideas iuto their thick craniums. If tliey had any ideas in their beads they had an awfully poor way of letting it be known. Another thing makes it more annoying to travel in that particular section: the French aud Spaniards do not seem to be on very good terms, especially in busi ness matters. I could not buy a ticket in France beyond the Span ish line. No connection is made and one most spend the night at the line. Before reaching Spain I found that the French would not receive Spanish money, even near Jews towards the Samaritans, seem to have no dealings with the Span ish. When I got over into Spain, I found that the Spaniards looked upon the trench as Samaritans and would have no dealings with them. Th is fool ish nees got me i n to trouble. Stranded Without Money. When I went to leave Iran I learned that they would have noth ing to do with anything but Spau ish money. And of that kind of money I didn't have quite enough to get ns to Madrid. I looked at my letter of credit and found that, although it was good at over 1,800 banks, the nearest one mentioned in Spain was 400 miles away. I tried to get some checks of the American Express Company cash ed, but they would gaze at them awhile and shake their heads. It looked like I would either have to spend Christmas in a small town in the mountains of northern Spain, or send my wife on to Madrid and start out afoot myself. But provi dence came to my rescue. There was a boy from Pans in Irun study ing the Spanish language. He had speut a year in London and could speak English fairly well. That boy said be would get me some money and he canvassed the town with my paper. But they were not aware of the existence ofthe Ameri can Express Company, much less cash a check on it I decided to hang up for a few days as I was stranded and there was nothing else to do. But my boy bad erit and said let us try the Italian res taurant. Luck was with me again and, by allowing a Shylock dis count, I was ready to resume our journey. The boy refused pay for his services, but I made him ac cept a part of that money. I never could have died satisfied if he had not taken something for his kind services. Magical fluslc of a Blind Musician. Just before reaching Irun the train passes around the west end of the Pyrenees, with the Bay of Bis cay on the right After leaving that towu the train begins to climb the mountains and continues to do so for hours, amid almost Alpine scenery through tunnels, over gorges and by precipices. All the way np there are little villages clinging to the mountain sides, i The inhabitants cultivate the al most upright soil and raise a few cattle and many goats. It is no place to raise children. If one should stump its toe it would fall iuto another province. ben our train reached the station of a vil lage which nestled in a cove above the clouds, in a chair in front of the depot sat a poor old blind man with au accordion on his lap. By his side stood a thiuly clad little girl with one hand on his shoulder. In their cheeks was poverty and upon their backs bung ragged mis ery. When the cars bad rully stopped he began to play a beauti ful Spanish air. The effect was electrical. Under the magical touch of his fingers the sweet tones of the mstrumeut struck a sympathetic cord in human hearts. The mute appeal of those sightless eyes met a prompt and generous response. Out of the car windows rained a perfect shower of pennies, and as the girl would pick them up she would smile and put them iu the old inau's coat pocket The fre quent touch of that shivering little hand iuformed the old man that he had reached the hearts of many. A smile of gratitude adorned his wrinkled face and his music be came sweeter. As the train pulled out the poor aged and blind man straightened in his chair slightly, tilted his head back and, like the dying swan, seemed to pour ont bis soul in divine melody. Near the top the road enters a rocky plateau with mountains en either side. The railroad follows closely through the mountains a splendid highway, portions of which here and there recall the Homan occupation of the country. Over this road the tramp of hostile armies has echoed many a time. For miles there is succession of plateaux and the scenery is poor and monotonous. The soil is too i poor to sprout peas, and yet many , people occupy the land. Ho they , make a support is not apjmreut. Aa Judge Bennett would say, in comparison with them Lazarus was la capitalist. Their conveyances I and farming implements are crude and their dress comical. Their homes are huts aud their life prim itive. Yet they would not ex change conditions with a Vauder bilt Coutentment is their greatest atiset Valladolid was our nnt halt and we reached it iu the night My Lord, what a nieta we ran into! We fell iuto a surging sea of noisy humanity, all trying to talk at one and none of them able to talk at all. One scamp grabbed oue piece of baggage aud made off one way and another rascal seized another piece aud lit out in the opposite direction, both jabbering and motioniug for us to follow. In vain did I lusist that there was no occasion lor excitement and hast My plea for deliberation caused other porters to think that I pre (erred another hotel and the pests multiplied. To escape the plagues I jumped iuto the nearest omuibus aud had the driver to lay on the nip. He carried ns to a nice hotel, and I showed the proprietor that I had a mouth and indicated that I would like to give it a little exercise. He understood panto mime aud a good supper was soon forthcoming. Wheu I settled my bill, ou leaving Valladolid, that hotel punched a big hole in my pocketbook. But that is a habit they have in Spaiu. By this time we were well out of the channel of English and Ameri can travel, and the ouly way to get along is "by main strength aud awkwardness." Sometimes I get annoyed aud lose my temper, but with it all there is lots of fuu. Many ofthe incidents aud experi ences along the way would make a ghost laugh. It is a great pleasure to visit the sights and scenes that have beeu cousecrated by Clio and the Muse, but it is sometimes a dif ficult job. One of the most trouble some things is money. In very truth the love of it is the root of all evil. Every traveller sometimes has to deal with the dishonest. II you do not understand their money the rogues will swindle you iu every transaction. Experience has taught me that there are two ways to foil them. Oue way aud the best way is to learn the kinds and values of their money before, or as soon as you euter a country, and then make them act squarely. 1 he next beat way is, never ask the price of anything or make any in quiries about it that will too often betray your ignorance of their money. But just call for what you want, hand them certainly enough or more than enough to pay for the article, then assume an air of im portance and look wise. I have worked that scheme with remark able success. I now have it down so fine that in nine times out of ten, I can deceive them into being honest Receives the Attention of Dark Eyed Beauties. Spain is an exceedingly poor couutry. It is lacking in two of the great elements of prosperity agriculture and manufacturing. Almost the entire country is moun tainous aud devoid of timber. The level soil has been exhausted of its fertility for ages. The blight of the Moors is still on the land. The rural sections are forsaken by the people aud the cities are teeming with paupers and beggars. In no other couutry in Europe are there so many whose only occupation is begging; grown, able-bodied men, healthy boys and women galore begging. The government is pow erless to stop it. They cannot pay a fine and the worthless govern ment is too poor to feed them if it undertook to imprison them. The King is a mere non-entity and the men in other branches of his gov ernment are grandees and grand dunces. If Spain bad a man for a King like the Emperor of Ger many or the President of the Unite 1 States, and a few judges like that Dutchman up at The Hague, new life would te put in the old land aud some of her former glory re turn. Outside of the beggars and the average amount of rascals, the Spanish people are clever aud nice. I have revised my opinion of their national character. The cruelties of the Inquisition and the sport of bnll fighting have caused many to believe that at heart the Spaniard Is your baby thin, weak, fretful ? Make him a Scoff j Emulsion baby.

Inquisition, and not all theSpauish people attend the bull lights. Only j few years buck people were burned as witches in our country, I and we still have the prize riiriit! which is more brutal tliuii the bull i tight. It would be unfair to judge American character by those who burnt witches and those who pat ronize the prize tight. The Span ish people are warm hearted, genial and most obliging. Their couutry is poor, and most of them are poor in this world's goods but rich iu that liest of all wealth: a cheerful heart. They are incessant talkers i and laugh much. Like children, a mere trille will tickle them. You need no introduction, just go ahead and talk to them if you can. The young people are not ceremonious. The slightest incident will serve to start a conversation. If you assist a young lady to put her packages in the car rack, she goes at once to conversing with you. Iu this way I have hail several very pleasant ex paiitk conversations with Span ish U'auties. If they travel any distance on the train they always carry along lunch and a bottle of wine, i hey rarely ever fail to of fer you some of both. Aud notwith standing the very clerical look which I try to assume, still they poke their bottle at me. I find it a little more difficult to decline ou a cold day and in a cold cur. They are very clever also about giving ulormutiou mid otherwise assisting a traveller, lheir complexion is dark. The women arc perfect bru nettes. I see uo more blue eyes, light hair and ruddy faces. 1 see no more of those pretty Monties. They are np yonder north of the Kuine. Now it is the equally as pretty black eyes, raven hair, dark eyebrows and a complexion which rivals the glory of an Eastern dawn. Lord Byron, in bis rambles iu Spain, found nothing half so pretty as the Spanish maiden, and "Her glance, how wildly beautiful." I saw one the other day up ut Me dina whose charming beauty would melt even the heart of my good friend, Col. James 1. Morehead ol Greensboro. Cold as Dakota and No Fires at All. I would say, in conclusion, that Spain has little to attract and much to repel travellers. Outside of its historical associations aud a few remnants of Moorish architecture, there is but little of interest in the country. Its scenery is far below that of other lands. Its climate is no good. The railroad service is abominable. Go where you please you must start in the night and get there in the night There is no heat in the cars except hot water under your feet in the first class cars, aud you cannot keep warm. Every time the engine whistles some fool raises a window to look out and lets iu the cold air. There is no heat in any depot Nearly all the large cities are on branch lines and close connection never dreamed of. The engines have no bells on them and the station agent at most places, gives notice to start by rat tling a cow bell. But the most serious objection is the exorbitant prices demanded by stores and hotels. I am not sur prised that the people are poor; I am surprised at their living at all. The necessaries of life are exceed ingly dear. Those with whom a traveller must deal are very greedy. On him they delight to prey. The only difference in their method and that of the highwayman is, they allow you the privilege of consenting to the robbery. At first class hotels here rates are 13.60 and op and no beat in the room. There is not a hotel in Spain that has in the guest rooms a fireplace, a stove or steam heat. In their offices they have braziers with hot ashes or coals iu them. Madrid is 2, 130 feet aliove the sea, aud I dare say it is as cold here now as it is in Ver mout or North Dakota. These frosty mornings it is cold euough to freeze oil' t he tail of a brass mon keyand I have no tire. When I reached Spain I had a real good pair of shoes, but I have uearly worn them out walkiug to keep warm. Often you are on the train at meal time and have to buy some thing from the station restaurant. They rob without couipuuction of conscience. For a boiled bantam chickeu with no wings I had to pay sixty -five ceuts, and for boiled eggs sixty cents a dozen and oue fourth of them spoiled. Oue galoot asked twenty ceuts for oue cold chicken wing. That is no exaggeration but the exact truth. Another extor tioner demanded twenty cents for a cigar but little better than an Old Virginia cheroot. These are merely samples. Like Dives when he waked up in torment I want to warn my brethren and friends over in the other world not to come here. Madrid, Spain. Neighbors Hot Fooled.

From the Chicago Tribune: Don't trifle with a cold, is good advice tor prudent men and women. It may be vital in the case of a child. Proper food, good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will becutne severe if neglected, aud a well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee.
