Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1906. Make Hay While it Rains. Messrs. Editors: There'll be a dearth of "provender by Christmas. The heavy and incessant rains have prevented the making of thousands of tons. By anticipating this scar city ol forage, it can be greatly forestalled. Every farmer who has not al ready done so should drop every thing e'se long enough to fix up a good rich patch and sow it in rye, seeding it heauer than where a crop of mature grain is ha.vested. Let the ground be well manured and broken deep'y, the.i harrowed and drilled in with L'OO pounds of good fertilizer per acre. By Feb ruary you can commence cutting a rich health ;'ul feed for your milch cows. The mi'k wi'l ;ncie"se 100 per cent and the buttc will be golden yellow. You can keep cutting hay and feeding it either green or wilted to the hogs, cows, and horses until other gret n feed comes, and then you can turn ,the land and get as good a crop of corn as if you had not fed yorr stock off it all spring. Do it today. W. I). Troutman. keeping Irish Potatoes. Messrs. Editors: We rarely put Irish potatoes in ce'lai's in this sec tion, but bank out in open ground, very much as we do sweet pota toes. Our plan and it hardly ever fails is to put iu a long bank about five or six feet wide at base, piling as high as they cs.ii lie made to stay, the sharper the Ite.er, as the mound sheds water better when sharp. Put six or eight inches thick of pine straw under them, and when piled up, cover with straw a foot thick, press down and cover alxrat six inches thick with dirt, cover ing up completely. Press the dirt to keep it from being too porous, and if kept dry, there is no dan from rot. A few put cover of boards over to keep off the water some nail two ten or twelve boards together at right angles, and put hollow down on top of the straw which effectually makes a water shed. Then cover as liefore, plank and all. We keep from ten to a hundred bushels in this way in one pile, making it long ac,cord;ng to the quantity to lie put mi. Dirt should not be as thick as for sweet pota toes, for the Irish potatoes w'll stand much more cold than the sweet potatoes v.l'. We usual. y tal e down our banks last of February, but not talen down as soon as warm weather ap proaches, they wiU bejin to sprout and Jf much moisture has gotten into them, will sprout se.iously. -Jt is best to pull the dirt off the straw as soon as it gets warm . I have kept potatoes in banks as above descrilied far more than thirty years and never lost any except a few cases where hogs rooted. A Lucky PoBtuiititrens is M "8.

Dutch Farmers and Cows. Cows Holland, to a certain extent, are a part of the farmer's family, for one member of the fam ily always sleeps in the stable to watch, and qiSte often the place is made a sort of family sitting-room. The cot stable is usually a large building, p&ved with brick, upon which the cow lies, straw being scarce. There is a brick-paved passage in .the center, at one end of whch is a lireplace, and the windows are covered with curtains as white and dainty as those used in the house proper. Sometimes the farmer and his entire family will gathe- in the stable in the evening, enjoying the heat of the fire and exchanging the talk of the day, while the cattle, always placed with their heads facing the cen tral passage, chew their cud and almost seem to enjoy the human companions. These cows are sel dom brown, most of them leing black or white, or of both colors mixed, and liecause of the fertility of the pasturage and the care taken in their keep, they are capable of giving large yields of rich milk. In no place in the world are cows made so much of, and ffbm the annual yield of butter it seems that the care is not bestowed in vain.

C. writing to the Progressive Far mer, gives some good advice to the young man under the head of "Don't lie an Esau." and winds up as follows: "Vonng men don't go away to hunt up great thing but do your duty where you are. Have a mot to: "I will do inv dutv and live a manly, conscientious life," and don't be ashamed to put on a pair of overalls to do anv kind of work that is honorable. Neither rich nor poor men should rear a child who is not taught to work, and taught that it is honest to work and a disgrace to lie idle. If you never have to work with your hands, it pays you to know how it is done by having done it your self, so you can know when men you hire have done their duty. Be honest, be conscientious, act uprightly and don't be an Esau. D. L. Goke. Wilmington, N. G. Devil's Island Sorture. is no worse than the terrible case of Piles that afflicted me 10 years.

Shell's dru store. worth $1,310,400,000. Allowing a decline of 10 cent3 a bushel in the price when the market becomes glutted, the value of the crop at the decline would be $1,092,000, 000, an amount big enough, , if equally distributed, to give every man, woman and, chili iu the United States 113.63. ' Our Great Crop. Home figures have been prepared by officials oT the .Santa Fe on the co; n cop of the year, which, be cause of the;r proportions uid the ultimate relation o 'the crop to the general prospeiityof the country, aiv ati.acting much attention. The year's crop is estimated at 2,730,- 000,000 bnshe's. If weighed it would amount to 80,000,000 tons. If it were shucked and thrown in piles it would make sixteen of them, each as high and as broad as the great pyramid of Cheops. If shelled and sent to elevators it would tax to the utmost the full capacity of fouy-six centers of distribution, each as great as Chi cago. If put into cars, each containing 1,000 bushels, the corn would re quire 80,000 trains of thirty caw each to carry it to market. Put' ting two trains to a mile, they would stretch fifteen times across the continent, or twice around the globe at the Kansas para'lel. There is enough of this corn to sjpply every living person in the world with two bushels. Even p tier this country's own vast con sumption has been fi-'ly provided for there wi'l be enough left to give every person in Enssia's vast Empire one bushel. At pment market prices the crop would be The Cheerful Man. The cheerful man is pre-eminently a useful man. ' The cheerful man sees that ev erywhere the good outbalances the bad, and that every evil has its compensating halm. A habit of cheerfulness enables one to transmute apparent misfor tunes into real blessings. He who has formed a habit of looking at the bright, happy side of things has a great advantage over the chronic dyspeptic who sees no good in anything. The cheerful man's thought scriptures his face into beauty and touches has manner with grace. If we are cheerful and contented all nature smiles with us; the air is balmier, the sky clearer, the earth has. a lu-'ghter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly and the snn, moon and, stars are more beact'ful. All good thought end rood ac tion c'uini a natural al'iance with good theer. Hifch-nrnded cheeiiulness is found in great souls, self-poised and couddent in their own hea veii-H'ded power. Serene cheerfulness is the grate est preventive oi humanity's ills. Grief, anxiety, and fear are the great enemies of human lue, and should be resisted as we resist the plague. Cheerfulness is their anti dote. Without cheerfulness there can be no healthy action, physical, men tal, or moral, for it is the normal atmosphere of oar being. Success. Saloons close for Revival. Charlotte Observer. Wilmington, X. Cct. 24. Eigh ty odd business houses, including several downtown saloons, were closed for an hour between 12 and 1 o'clock today at the request of Dr. Hamilton and his asseciates, who are holding a big revival at the First Baptist church. Yester day the proprietors of business houses were waited upon by act ive church workers and asked to give this hour to themselves and their employes, that they might attend a special service at the church. The saloons were visited also and all who would consent to close for the hour were given a placard to display in their win dows stating that the store would be closed the following day be tween the hours named. The cards appeared in several saloon wi dows during the afternoon and were the subject of much interest.
