How to Get tod of Gifts tiTd Citnies. Progressive Fanner. Whenever we see a galled spot or a gully, bare of vegetation, we can't ' help wondering how any land-own- - er cau get his eonsenl pertnt tne connnaanceoi sncn conditions, The loneer thev exist tne worse they .become. Why should any farmer permit himself to be tfttts ftftXfea ot nis "stock in trade." his capital . his , r1 r 1 1 r i - ' .. farml Furthermore, the tftne lost through the necessity of more fre quenttuina, or in working qveior around them, rightiy employed, would prevent their existence or restore them to a useful condition after they have baen formed. We do not believe infilling gullies with rails, brash, or other materials which are likely to be in the way later 00. For gullies or galled I spots, the best remedy is straw, coarse stable manure, or some other material that will improve their fertility. Follow this with some growing crop. If a gully,, plow dirt into it, turn theexcess of water in another direction and sow peas; if a galled Spot, plow deeply and keep something growing on it all the time. v have seen gullies ten feet deep filled and brought up to the most productive parts of the field in tkrw or four years-- by a liberal application of straw, leaves or coarse stable manure and the sowing Of cowpeas. It will pay to fill them up for the crops they will bring, and if the fields are to 1 put in condition for the use of the implements necessary for economi cal cultivation, these scarred and gullied fields, no common in many parte of the South, must be made to disappear.

Now and then eudi a tube known as 'ful gurite is found and dug up. Ful gurites have been followed into the sand bv excavation for nearly thir ty feet They vary in interior di ameter from the 6iie of a quill to three inches or more, according to the 'bore' of the flash. "But fulgurites are not olone pro duced in land. They aro found also in solid rock, though very naturally of slight depth, and (requently ex isting merely as a thin, glassy coat ing on the surface. Such fulgurites occur in astonishing abundauce on the summit of Little Ararat, in Armenia. The rock is soft and so porous that blocks a foot long can be obtained that are perforated in all directions by little tubes filled with bottle green glass formed from the fused rock. There is a small speci men in the National musoum which has the appearance of having been bored by tne teredo and the holes made by the worm subsequently filled with glass. "Some wonderful fulgurites were found by Humboldt on the high Nevada " de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the rock were covered with a thin layer of green glass. Its peculiar shimmer in the sun led Humboldt to ascend the precipitous peak at the risk of his life." Wronj Feeding is One of basiest Methods to Make Children ill One of the prime and principal ways of making children ill-temp ered is to feed them wrongly. "He was always a very cross babv," said an old woman at a coroner's inquiry the other day. "I don't at all wonder at it," remarked the coroner, who had been inquiring into the poor little creature's diet; they had chiefly fed! the child upon "bnled bread, butter, and sugar." The mixture first made him 'cross," and eventually killed him. If he had been, 'Older-Jie might perhaps have escaped with his life, bnt, even so, wonld pro bably have lost Ms temper pmna mently. A child fid in this way! could not be expected to be any thing bnt eross. Half the peevishness of children nay probably three-quarters of I it comes simply from stomach derangement, and could be prevent ed by judicious diet; not, too much sugar or rich foods, plenty of fresh 1 air and exercise, and an occasional J does of fluid magnesia. Next to wrone feeding in the production of ill-temper comes the habit far to freqvent in nurseries of perpetual "nagging." You will hardly ever find sweet tempered children in a nursery presided over by a nagging mother or nurse one who is eternally fault-finding and scolding, whose objurgations are unending. It is only natural that this should be so. Children are to a great ex tent "ere atures of habit." If they are nagged at and scolded for every little trifle, they acquire the J habit on their own account, and faithfully copy the pattern shown them, and carrv it out in their dealings with those younger than themselves. A scolding nurse is fatal, so far as charge are concerned. "A soft answer turneth away wrath," said Salomon, and it holds good for all time: so do his words that i named iatelv follow that is. 'Griev'ous words stir up auger." Anger cau t le stirred up con sfcantly among children without as serious deteriaration in their tem pers taking place; and a temper thoroughly spoiled in childhood is seldom, if ever restored. People too trepuently imagine that temper is entirely a matter of temperament. It is so, no doubt to some extent, but by no means alto gethfcr. What might have leen a sweet temper under judicious manage ment may become iusufferably sour nnder conditions that tend to de vclop the worst side ol the nature This is a point that parents cannot afford to lose sight of.

Colonial, 125 lbs capacity. $18.00 3S7 -a i i nji ry In a Barnyard there was a brood of little ducklings, onof them, larger than the others, was a very ugly white bird that appear ed to be hated by all of the others, and was constantly being pecked at and abused. As time went on the "ugly duckling" developed into a lovely white swan, the ad miration of everyone who saw it, and the envy of those who used to peck at it. The "ugly duckliug" is Price. They pecked and hammered away at us and said we could'nt do it. Put today the name Price stands for quality, aud the difference between the Price make and others is as great as the difference between the beautiful swan and the common barnvard duck.
