Sometimes we become impatient to get the seed in the ground aud fancy we can not afford to take the time to more thoroughly prepare the land, but this is a mistake. It is not best to plant the crops too early, be fore the soil is warm, although as a general rule, the earlier crops are planted after the soil and weather are fit, the better; but a crop plant ed on a well-prepared soil will soon catch up with one planted much ear lier on a soil not properly prepared. We can much better afiiord to be a little late in planting than to plant before the soil is in first-class con dition. When the plants come up they are m the way of large imple ments and cultivation is expensive; therefore, as much cultivation as possible should be done before the plants come up and get in the way. It is astonishing how much cultiva tion of the crop can be saved by the thorough preparation of the land be fore planting. Raleigh (N. C.) Pro gressive Farmer.

It is admitted by all thoughtful students of the subject that we have not as yet arrived at an ideal condi tion of atfairs with regard to the punishment inflicted for violations of the law. Although we have travel ed far in the direction of the golden mean between justice "and mercy since the days of our great-grandfathers, there remains no inconsid erable number of problems awaiting ajustment. We have come to put within the descretion of, the Gov ernor of the State the tremendously important matter of granting par dons, and this power, wisely admin istered except in a f ewT ' instances, has done much to mitigate the mis takes which are inevitable in the most enlightened court rooms. Par ticularly beneficial is the device known as the "conditional pardon." A man may have been justly senten ced and yet the best interests of so ciety demand that he be given a chance to reform and make a useful citizen of himself. One criminal turned from his ways and brought back into harmony with ; society is worth all the service a State can possibly deserve from all its con victsand immeasurably more than this. Care must be taken, however, that the "conditioual pardon" is not abused by its recipients. The mo tive for its issue orginates in a be lief that the man freed will endeavor to the best of his ability to conform to the laws thereafter. In a number of cases such action on his part m3y be discounted. in advance. Not in frequently a sentence to the peni tentiary or the roads serves as a kind of temporal purgatory in which the suiierer gets a more accurate view of himself and the world and the mutual interrelations existing between the two than he has ever known before. Such men frequent ly live down their errors and win the respect of their communities. There are other beneficiaries whose pardon operates very differently Not long ago Mecklenburg county or rather a section -of it was troubled by a conditionally pardon- I ed man who showed no inclination whatever to amend hi3 wrays. More recently the town of Hendersonville has been through very much the same experience. The violations of law in neither instance were unusu ally outrageous, but the fact that they occured on the part of a man who was enjoying his liberty upon probation constituted a grave ag gravation. They should be dealt with in such a way as to serve no tice upon all other conditionally pardoned prisoners that the State's clemency must be accepted in good faith or become forfeit. It is a travesty on the original intent to allow this executive power to be in voked in favor of law-breakers who?e every inclination upon re gaining liberty is to break the law whenever and however their con venience suits. Charlotte Observer. Saved His Mother's Life. "Four doctors had given me up." writes Mrs. Laura Gaines, of Avoca, La., "and my children and all my friends ,were looking for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters. I did so, and they have me a world of good. I will al ways praise them."

Dr. Muster, of the Jefferson hos pital, was talking to a reporter the other day about persons who come to the hospital hurt, some with slight pains, but who think they are dying. The doctor related the fol lowing story: y "A short time ago an Irshman and his wife were asleep in bed, when the wife thought she heard a noise down stairs, which she imagin ed was burglars, and awakening her husband, she said: 'Wake up, Pat; there are burglars down stairs.' "So Pat arose and hastily dressed himself. But in dressing he put his trousers on backward. Quickly grabbing a lamp he started down the stairs, but, owing to his trousers be ing tight, he reached the first step and tripped. He fell down the whole flight. "His wife heard the rack and went to the top of the stairs.' "Are you hurt?' she asked. "Pat arose, and feeling himself to ascertain if he was hurt, "found the way he wore his trousers. "No, darlin, I'm not hurt in the least. But I gave my body one dicken3 of a twist." Philadelphia Times. - WAS SPEAKING IN JOtUlAR VEIN. Congressman Kitchin Had no Intention of Offending Colleagues. Washington, April 19. Represen tative Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, to-day denied any intention whatever of offending those mem bers of the State delegation who had seen fit to vote against reciprocity and free lumber. "What I said about being ashamed of those of my colleagues who were opposing re ciprocity, was said in such a good natured, smiling way that I had no idea anyone would take it seriously. If you were in the press gallery while I was speaking you will recall that I was smiling when I made the jocular remark." "Did you have in mind the cam paign which your brother, Governor W. W. Kitchin will wage against Senator Simmons for his seat in the United States Senate when you re ferred to the senior Senator's speeches on reciprocity and his vote on lumber?" he was asked. "Positively not. Such a thing never occured to me while I was speaking." WILL INCLUDE PEA1 U rS. Mr. Kitchin was asked about the peanut interest of his district, an in dustry which is a large factor among his constituency and he replied frankly that he would be willing to put peanuts on the free list. "Why, I had nothing to do with the fram ing of the reciprocity measure. . It is not what we want, but a small step in the right direction." Mr. Kitchin said that he had no doubt but that the "free list bill," which puts farming impliments on the free list, and in a measure will compensate them for the free en trance to this country of farm pro ducts, would pass the Senate, neith er did he believe that President Taft would dare to veto the measure when it comes to the President for his signature. "Any Senator who votes against this free list bill will have voted himself out of congress," said Mr. Kitchin. "And if the President does uot sign the bill after it has passed both branches of Congress, there is not much doubt as to the outcome of the presidential election in 1912. Five Hints for Corn Growers. You want to make a payings corn crop this year, of course. Here, then, are a few of the things to do: (1) Plant only on land which will make at least a fair crop; if you can't afford to try to grow corn in a field which you know will not make more than 10 or 15 bushels to the acre. (2) Ppepare the land well before planting; don't get in a hurry and plant the corn among clods, or on a hard-baked soil. (3) Use good seed even if it cost you a little extra. (4) Cultivate often and to a depth of not more than three inches; keep the turning plow out of your corn field. (5) Don't pull fodder and s:i waste labor and reduce your yield of corn; get the full feeding value of the crop. Raleigh (N. C.) Progress ive Farmer.

Politeness is regarded as one of the virture3. It is not generally enough recognized as an- important business asset. "I'll never go into that store again," declared a gentle man as he came from a store where the salesman had been discourteous. The proprietor may wonder why his trade falls off while that of his neighbor increases. He may think that he does not advertise enough or cut prices enough; but the custom er who was driven away came to him first because of his advertising and then went to his rival and paid more money for the desired article, ! for no other reason than that he! wanted polite treatment. The latter merchant had a business asset which was of more value to his trade than the display advertisements and cut prices of his neighbor. Christian Herald.

Just a few figures: Wagon roads in the United States 2,151,570 miles. Improved (faced with gravel or something better) 176,429 miles. Per cent of improved roads 8.2. Each year 265,000,000 tons -of farm and forest products are hauled to market or to railway stations over American roads. This hauling costs $432,000,000 or 32 cents per ton per mile. It costs about 10 cents per ton per mile to haul freight over, an im proved road. Thus, if all our roads were im proved, it would mean a saving of $200,000,000 a year in hauling alone. It will cost fully $3,000,000,000 to put all the mud roads in America in shape to make them merely good gravel roads. Three billion dollars is a big sum vet $200,000,000 per year for fif teen years would settle the bill. This country of ours is the richest in the world yet the poorest, most tax-burdened country in Europe can boast of better roads than can we. Odd, isn't it? Rural Weekly. UPSET STOMACH.
