' My old father was afflicted with rbeuma tism and wbeu the sharp pains began to worry him he would take bis long stick and start out over the farmand limp and grunt, and drag himself along until be got warmed up, and in an hour or so would come . back feeling better. A man can mope and brood over his; troubles until as Cone says, they get more thicker and more aggravatiner."

I feel just like I had lost my tobacco. The sparrows are regaling on my strawberries. The happy , mocking-birds are singing their tee diddle and -too doodle, and the lordly peacock screams, and struts, and spreads his magnificient tail, and all ipa ture seems gay and joyous, but how can the lord of creation sing a glad song when his lady is far away in a strange land. " A let ter from there says:', Mama,, is having a good time, and is be having so nice to everybody." Of coursei of . course. And I'm nice tp everybody here 'espec ially the ladies-some of them come every day, come to comfort me. the.v say. I'm having a pretty , good-; time ; considering. We had . some fine music last night, some of. the boys came home with Carl to practice for a serenade to the spring chickens. They had a guitar, and some harps, and Vere right good sing ers besides, and I enjoyed it im mensely. ' Jessie isl a musician, tooi and when she struck the ivory ' keys with some salutatory notes like--"Oh Jinny is jour ashcake done?!t and: the "High land.

You ought to ' see- 'me caper a round to the music with a little grandchild, a three-year-old, who chooses me for a partner when ever t h e music begins. She knows the dancing tunes as well as I do, bless her little heart. My boys have got a new step now that they call the ' "buzzard lope," that is grand, lively and peculiar. The story goes, that an old darky lost his' aged mule and. found him one Sunday even ing lying dead fn the woods, and forty-nine buzzards .leastei on hia carcass. Forty-eight of them flew away, but the ' f orty -ninth whose feathers were gray with age, declined to retire. Look ing straight at the darky, he spread his wrings about half and half, like the American Eagle on a silver dollar, and tucked his tail under hie body, and drew in his chin, pulled down his vest, and began to lope aronnd the mule in a salutatory manner. He was a greedy bird and liked Lis meat served rare, and rejoiced that he now had the carcass all to himself, and so he loped around with alacrity, . , iThe old. darkey, was a fiddler ana a dancer oy instincc ana in . v .. . ; - . , . - -". - spi ration.; He bad . danced . al the dances and pranced all the prances of his neighborhood for half a century- He had played promptly for the white folks at a thousand-frolics, and knew ev ery step and turn of the heel tap and the toe, but he had never seen , double-demi, semrqulver shuffle as that old buzzard loped around that ' mule. He stood aghast. He spread his arms just half and half and bent his back in the middle, unlimbered his anklo joints stiffened his el bows, and,, forgetting both the day and the place, he followed that bird x round the mule for 4 solid hours and caught the ex quisite lope exactly. At dusk the ' tired buzzard , soused his beak into one of the dead mules eyes and bore it away to its 1'oost while the old darkey loped all the way home to his cabin door, feeling ten years younger for his masterpiece. The buzzard lope suits an old man splendidly, for it is best performed with rheu- imatism in one leg and St Vitas' dance in the other, and it Is said to be a sovereign remedy for both. ' " Some folks don't care much about music, some don't care anything about dancing, some folks like both, because its their nature, and they can't- help it. t is just as. natural ; for children to love to dance to the harmony of sweet sounds as it is for them to love to play marbles' or jump the rope of any other -innocent sport. The church . allows its members to pat the foot to music but condemns dancing because it leads to disipation and bad com pany.but we shouldn't let It lead the young folks that way. The church condemns minstrel shows snd minstrel songs, but has late ly stolen from' them some of ther sweetest tunes and set ' them to sacred verse, and is" all thebet ter for it. T Who does not appre ciate the ''Lilly of the valley, that is now sung to the " "cabin in the lane." . Puratanistn and long faces and assumed distress are passing away. . The Method. 1st discipline that forbade jewel ry and ornaments and fine dress ing has become " obsolete, for it was against . nature what "our Creator has given us to enjoy let us enjoy in reason and in season and be all the more thankful for His goodness. I believe in music. Joseph H Lumkin, our great chief justice said there was music in all things except the braying of an ass or the tongue of a scold. I believe in the refining influences of mus ic oter'the young, and if an oc casional dance at home or in the parlor of a friend will make, the young folks happy, let them be happy. I read Dr.' Calhouns beautifu lecture that he delivered before the Atlanta Medical College a lecture on the human throat as a musical instrument and I was charmed with its science, its in strnction and its literary beauty, I read part of it to those boys that were practicing for the ser enade about the wonders of the human larynx, that in ordinary singers, could produce two thous and one hundred different sounds and the fine singers, like Jenny Lind, could produce a thousand, and Madam Jv.ora, whose voice compassed three octaves, could produce two thousand one hun dred different notes, and about Farinelli, who cured Philip V., King of Spain, : of a dreadful malady by singing to him, and after he was fully restored he was afraid of a relapse and hir ed farinelli to sing to him every night at a salary : of fifty , thous and francs, and he sang to him as David harped for Saul. -' Music fills up so many gaps in the family. The young people can't read and work and study all the time. They must have recreation, and it is better to have it at home than hunt for it elsewhere. If the old folks mope and grunt and complain around the house, it is no , won der that the children want to get away, i And they will get away, if they have to get married to do it 1 have known girls to marry very trifling lovers because they were tired oft home. .This re' minds ' me of a poor fellow who was hard pressed by . a creditor to whom he owed $40. He come to employ us get a homestead for him so as to save his little farm. 'Are you a married man?' No:.; I., ain't," said he. "Well, you will have to get married be fore you can take a homestead," said I. "Is there no clever girl in your neigeborhood whom "you have a liking for?" He looked straight in the fire for a minute or more, and then rose up and shook his long sandy hair,; and said: Gentlemen, the jig are up; I'll have to shindig, around and get that money, for I'll be doggoned if I'll get married for $f0. Good mornin'." We are working hard now ren ovating and repairing the house inside and put. We have white- washed the fence all around, an the barn, and coal house', chick en house and all. We have the gates paintel a lovely red, and stripped thV greenhouse, and Carl wanted to stripe! the ; calf with the same color as a mean dering ornament to the lawn but he couldn't catch him. I have planted out Maderia vines and Virginia1 creepers and tomato plants, and we havei declared on the ; English sparrows that de stroy more strawberries than we get. We will have things fixed up when the maternal comes home. . I reckon she will come some time. Come home spoiled, like I do when I- take a trip off and am petted up by genial kind friends. It will take us a week to get her back in the harness, but it wont take her that long t get us back. We've got two pic nics on hand and a fishing frolic, and there are five pretty girls from Cement' coming here to night, and on the whole I don't think I am as lonsoroe as I think I am. "So, here's health to her who's away. BILL ARP. The Farmers and the Banks. We urge farmers to acquire the banking habit. If you have nev er had an account with' your local banker, go to him and;, tell him of your desir to open an account with him, to make your deposits as you get the money and to draw theN money out through your checks. Ask him to explain to you the rules of his bank and his bank ing methods. You want to make out your deposit slips exactly as other depositors do. You ought to know something abont the principles of banking. They are few and not difficult to under stand. It helps a man. to save to have a bank account.. It edu cates him and his boys, and his wife and daughters, too, in bus! ness habits. r If you have ; a bank account i and are businesslike,, in your transactions, you establish a re du tat ion as a . business man as well as a farmer; then, when you want to borrow money to pur chase fertilizers or to make im provements, or to buy stock, you can go to your banker, tell him of your proposed transactions and ask that he let you have the money that you will need. Tell him when you think yon can pay it, and he will make the loan up on terms and conditions to meet your necessities. Home and Form believes that the farmer has an unused credit, due to: the property he owns Credit follows capital or property like its shadow. A merchant or manufacturer having several thousand dollars invested in his business has no difficulty in se be se curing bank accomodation, cause his property is a good curity for what he borrows. The farmer s property is a better security, if he handles it properly, and if he is sagacious in his conduct of business affairs. The trouble is the farmer him self discredits his own .property by neglect, or he, fails to--avail himself of his own opportunity, because he is not thoroughly familiar with business practices. The farmer in the South needs to know more about business if he is going to get the best results from his labor and if he is going market his crops with the best returns. Let the farmer, then, come to a good understanding with his lo cai merchant and with his ; local banker.-. Let him be free with them and frank with them. Let them understand each other, and we will have a little co-operative society of banker, merchant and farmer, vwhich must be, the foundation of all co-operation. Home and Farm. . If there is a man on earth who needs a guardian it Is the young chap who spends more than his salary and is continually dodging the bill collector. Sooner or lat er such a one will come to grief. ALFALFA COST ; , t ' ..:. PIIOFITAQLE COOP r.

By PROF. F. a HOLDER Director Agricultural Extension Department International Harvester Co. of New Jersey. . , ! Alfalfa Should be Grown on Every Farm 1. It is a profitable crop. 2. Increases farm valaes. 3. Excels every other crop In yield per acre ; : In feeding value As a drouth resister AsaaoUenricher. 4. No harder to grow than clover. 5. Make a beginning start now grow some alfalfa. Repeated experiments made by the, agricultural colleges, and the results obtained by the actual growers of al-' falfa In the semlarld sections of thai west; throughout the corn belt states,; and la the south and east, are oonolu-j sive evidence of the great value of j altaUa,;:. : .... 4 There are tm farmers whoa profltaj would not be Increased greatly by rals-j Ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible, hlsf foodstuffs upon his "own farm. j During the last few years, the area! devoted to alfalfa has greatly ln-j creased in the region west of the Mls- ourt river, and it 1. certain that j there will be an equally rapid in-, crease throughout the eastern and1 southern parts ot the United States. Many of the attempts in the past to grow alfalfa In the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the. crop there will be little, it any, morel trouble In securing a stand. 1 Alfalfa will soon- be grown abun-' dantly and profitably upon every farm.; It is no more difficult, to grow than clover and gives double the yield; The) dep rooting habit of alfalfa enables It to resist drouth when clover, tim othy, blue grass and other forage grasses die for want of moisture. - Al falfa roots grow deep Into the soil- far beyond the roote of other plants. Its drouth resisting power la of no greater Importance than its great value as a soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus, potash and other plant foods from below and tore them In the upper soil for the use of other plants. Experiments show greatly increased yields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod. Alfalfa is rich in protein the most essential element in feed to make bone, blood and muscle In growing ani mals. Why We Need Alfalfa. There is no combination of feeds to economical for the production of beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give the best results alone..: We need alfal fa because it balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste ofi starch which always takes place! where corn is fed alone. We need alfalfa because we can by means ot it grew on our. own farms the protein more profitably than we can buy It In feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because It feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of corn and oats. Wei need alfalfa because it produces on an average double the feed per acre of clover ov aayiUMS : . . - --a '.
