“School tarm" Idea Should Be Pushed.
We wish that the teachers, pat
rons and committeemen of every
school in the South would consider
the school farm idea. We are con
vinced that in thousands and thous
ands of schools such a school farm
could be established to the great
benefit of the community. The
school farm—which is usually
about four acres in size—has three
■ advantages:
1. It aids in teaching agricul
ture, by furnishing practical
demonstration work.
2. It provides funds for the
better support of the school, the
cotton, tobacco, peanuts or what
ever crop is raised on the land, be
y ing sold and the money put into
i the school treasury.
*J 3. Last, but not least, the
school quickens and develops the
I community spirit. The patrons
who come together to do the work
! get a new sense of their oneness
and develop an increased sense of
comradeship and neighborliness.
It is too late to do much with the
school farm idea this year and we
only regret that we neglected to
emphasize the matter earlier in the
season. Next year we hope to
begin advocating the plan in ample
time to get it started in many new
communities. The United States
Bureau of Education, Washington,
D. C., has published one or more
interesting bulletins on the subject
which we commend to those inter
ested.—The Progressive Farmer.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one wuy to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional r medics.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Kusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect
lie-ring, and when it Is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can bo ta!:en out and this
tube restored to its n rmal condition,
bearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caus' d by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an Inflamed condi
tion of tiie mucous surfaces.

Vinegar should not be kept in a
stone jar—the acid may effect the
glazing and the vinegar become un
wholesome. Glass jars are best.
If a rug is small enough to shake
with both hands, always hold the
rug in the middle at the sides and
not at the ends; the fringe and cor
ners will not fray or pull out.
Wash shelves * with camphor
water and then a little turpentine.
Rub this up a ways above the shelf
and danger of moths and roaches
will be lessened.
Newspaper is a preventative
from moths and each shelf should
be covered with them placed across
each end so as to cover ends as
well as over top.
For lilac or purple wash goods
vinegar has been found very sue
cessful in setting colors—soak for
an hour in tepid water, two gallons
of water to one pint of vinegar,
drain and wash in the usual way.

Rub the ink stains on linen with
a ripe tomato cut in half, and the
stains will disappear when the ar
ticle is washed. Tomato is also
very good for taking the ink stains
out of dark cloth, sponging with
cold water after using.
When a crepe waist becomes
soiled use a very thin starch and
then hang it up to dry on a coat
hanger. Do not wring it, as this
makes the starch uneven. If
washed and dried in this manner,
crepe will look very well.
To remove the glass stopper
from a bottle, take the bottle in one
hand and pour hot water oyer the
neck; the heat of the water will
cause the glass to expand, but the
stopper remaining cool, will keep
its normal size, and can therefore
be quite easily withdrawn.
To bring the letters up black,
when marking clothing with indeli
ble ink, press firmly against the
chimney of a lighted lamp or gas
globe for a moment. This will
serve when a hot flatiron or long
sun exposure is not convenient.
To seal jellies, take clean, white
wraDping paper and cut round in
two sizes, one to fit top of glass,
and the other to extend over sides
about one inch. Fill glasses and
allow the jelly to become perfectly
cold; then, with a clean, damp
cloth, wipe carefully around top of (
glasses. Into one small dessert
dish put one tablespoonful of
whiskey, into another dish put the
white of the egg. Dip the smaller
paper into the whiskey and press
down on the jelly. Wet one side
of the larger paper over the top
and sides of the glass and tie with
twine. When ready to use the
jelly, remove and burn the paper;
the jelly you will find to be as firm
and clean as when stored away.
A Surprising Animal.
An Irish horse trader who was
noted for his skill in getting the
best of a trade was endeavoring to
sell a horse to a farmer. He was
praising the fine qualities of the
horse when the farmer asked:
“Can the horse pull?"
“It would surprise you to see the
horse pull,” said the Irishman.
He sold the horse. The next
day the farmer came back highly
excited. “You swindled me; you
said that horse could pull, ’ he
screamed.
“You're mistaken,” replied the
t ader. "I said it would surprise
you to see that horse pull!”

On last Saturday the Huttig and
Bolding baseball teams locked
horns, so to speak, on the local
grounds for another game, which
resulted in a victory for the Huttig
team. The score being 1 5 to 11.
This was the second game these
teams have played, the first was at
Bolding on Wednasday of last
week. Our boys are very jubilant
over their recent victories and we
believe that they have reached the
stage of determination where they
will be hard to defeat in the future.
School Enumeration.

of taking the school enumeration
for Consolidated District No. 60
There are a total of 529 voters and
515 children of school age in the

Farmer Telia How He Experimented
With This Forage Crop to Get Good
Yield.
It was on a hill farm in Washington
County. The first cutting ramp off
May 15, and yielded a little more than
a ton to the acre. The second out
tins: was ready the second week of
•Tune and yielded even hotter. The
third growth was cut July id with as
large a crop as before. And the field
continues to grow, and with hay sell,
ins at * 18 a ton.
In giving his reasons for his sue
cess with alfalfa the owner of the fartn
made the following statement:
"T first, tried alfalfa in 1312, and fol !
lowing file advice of neighbors. 1 [
worked my soil up is Rood shape and
seeded in the spring. I got a good
stand, hut later in the season the
plants turned yellow and finally the
v eeds took the prop.”
"I was strongly impressed with the
possibilities of the alfalfa crop and
began reading alfalfa literature in
farm papers. To grow alfalfa success
fully 1 found one must have a rieft.
well drained, well limed soil. Tnocti
Istion was recommended where
neither alfalfa nor sweet clover had
ever been grown. Alfalfa growers all
advised that a field to be seeded to al
falfa should he given special attention
to lower the risk from weeds.”
i ne neid which I aimed to put into
alfalfa consisted ot three acres of fair |
upland with good drainage In the !
spring of 1913 I fertilized with barn
yard manure at the rate of 12 tons to
the acre and planted to cow-peas This j
crop served as a smother crop to Hear
the land of weeds. I turned these nn
der to a good depth about August >9.
cutting up the vines with a disc har
row before doing so. l.ater I applied
air-flaked lime at the rate of 1,090
pounds to the acre. I,ate in the after
noon of the day before seeding I dis
trlhuted soil from an old alfalfa field
o\er the field to be planted at the
rate of four or five hundred pounds to
the acre, and followed with a spilte
tooth harrow. This plan avoided thp
exposure of nitrogen fixing bacteria to
the direct rays of tiie tun.
“The seed was town broadcast upon
the well-flrmed seed bed A good
growth was made in the fall which
was allowed to rpmain for winter pro
tection. No great difficulty was ex
pertenced the following season with
weeds and four fairly good crops wore
taken off the field ”

Second Crop of Potatoes.
To grow a second crop of Irish po- j
tatoes to he used for winter uses is a f
perplexing problem for the farmer. 1
Keeping the first crop over for winter
use is almost impossible and it Is a
choice of buying the winter supply or ■
growing the second crop.
The greatest difficulty in planting
the first crop seed is in getting a
stand. The new potatoes will not cul
minate readily, and if planten only a
small percentage will grow.
Some growers overcome this diffi
culty by placing the seed potatoes, as
soon as they are dug. in a moist, fairly j
cool place such as in a shallow trench I
in the shade of a tree. Or by cutting
in halves, spreading on the ground
and co\ering with oinp noodles kept]
moist. They are ti.on watched, and as
they show signs of sprouting are j
planted in deep furrows, covering
lightly at first, working the soil to
them as they grow until level. Then
cultivate shallow- and level. Some va
rieties mak* a better second crop than
others, among which are Early Hose.

WHEN
HOT WEATHER
DOES SET IN,
You’ll find a good refrigerator very
profitable. The secret of buying a
refrigerator is to get one so well built
that heat can't get in and cold can't
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
, LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
< I THE RANNEY are good Reft iger
fh'ators. They have many unusual
!/' points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est, jobbing prices. This saving we
)- hand on to our trade, and it is an ad
vantage which no other dealer in this
