late Cultivation.
Late cultivation of cotton and
corn will pay. Do. not forget this.
Most of the farmers like to get
their corn laid by before the 4th of
July. It is best not to fix a time to
lay by. Corn should be cultivated
as long as you can get through
without injury to it, or say until the
roasting ear stage. The last cul
tivation will pay as well as any of
the others.
It is not necessary to plow deep.
Shallow cultivation is best. Break
the capillary attraction by light
cultivation and you will letain the
mo sture, and the moisture will be
the means of conveying plant food
to the corn at the most important
period of its growth, just as it is
beginning to fruit. Then you wil
leave the corn freer of weeds in 1
grass, and the available plant food
will be there for the corn, and not
be taken up by other vegetation.
It takes the elements of plant life
to sustain the weeds, grass, briers
and thistles the same as cotton and
corn, and if you keep them out you
will have that much more available
plant food foryour crop; besides that
they choice the crop.
What is said of corn is true of
cotton, except that you can culti
vate the cotton for a longer period
than you can corn. Cotton may be
cultivated up to the time it begins
to open, and if properly cultivated,
good returns will follow. It may
look a little hard to the farmers to
continue cultivation so long and to
set at naught the almost traditional
laying by period, and many will not
do it, but those who will learn at
gathering time that they have made
good money on their labor spent in
late cultivaton. If you are inclined
to doubt, suppose you try it on part
of your crop and notice and see if
there is any difference in the final
yield.
Don't forget the sweet potato.
It is fine thing to have enough
sweet potatoes for family use if no
more. There is plenty of time to get
the slips and grow the crop. I,,
fact you can cut the vines and set
out enough to make a good showing.
A few cultivations will make the
crop. Then prepare to keep them
for winter use. They help out the
winter, rations, and keep down the
grocer’s bill. Be careful about
your sorghum patch. Green sor
ghum is poisonous to cattle. Do
not give the cattle a chance to rut
on the sorghum patch. Not evet
on the second growth after the sor
ghum has been cut. The greet
leaves contain prussic acid and tha.
is rank poison. Remember it is
green sorghum that is so poisonous.
Look out for mad dogs. During
the hot months is when hydrophobia
breaks out among the dogs, and il
will pay to shun the acquaintance
of all strange dogs not with then
master. A little precaution alonj
this line saves lots of expense
trouble and anguish, and sometimes
a life: so watch your dog and fight
shy of the other fellow's. Also loot
well after the family medicine shell
and see that there is a good supplj
of castor oil, turpentine, paregoric,
ground mustard, etc., for the water
melon, peach, plum and green apple
have to be reckoned with.

N« Horseless Age.
No one seems to be able to ex
plain why horses and mules in
crease both in numbers and in value
in the face of the rapidly growing
use of tractors, motor trucks and
automobiles. But it is a fact if
the figures produced by the United
States Department of Agriculture
are correct and they should be.
The department has just issued
the results of its live stock census,
completed on Jan. I. last. In this
report it is shown that there were,
on the farms and ranges of the
United Stites. horses numbering
20.567.000 valued at $110 77
and aggregating in value $2 278.
222.000. This is an increase of
58 000 horses over those enurm-r
ated one year ago. and the total
horse value hid increasdd $1 05.
to28.000.
The increase in value is noted at
$4.83 per head for horses and
$3 80 per head fjr mules The
numbers of mules had increased
24.000 during the year.
And yet, in spite of facts such as
these, there are men engaged in
making and in selling vehicles and
wagons who declare that tractors,
trucks and motor cars are put ting
them out of business. Why?

first imcrir ;in h ttcr-Box.
A little more than half century
ago the letter-box v\as unknown.
The inventor was Joseph William
Briggs, nephew of a former Gover- j
nor of Massachucsetts, who. as!
head clerk in the Cleveland post
office, studied the needs of patrons,
and after correspondence with
Postmaster - General Dennison
upon the subject, took a train for
Washington, bearing a part board
model of the letter-box under his
arm. The postmaster-general saw
| the merits of the plan and appoint', d
Mr. Briggs as special agent to es
tablish the letter-box and letter
carrier system. The first 1 tt r
box was attached by clamps to a
lamp post that stood in front cf a
Cievdland drug store, and not a
year had passed before 52 different
c ties had adopted the system.

All our weariness of suffering is
without avail to leave even a little
memory among those for whom the
work is done. All that is wrought in
despair, all that is loveless and me
chanlcal, falls to the ground. We live
for even so much as a brief life only
in that which carries the breath of
our being, the love of our heart. It is
not in ceaseless routine <1 finding
that we live, nor in what is sno. l ,n d
anxious. Machines will continue the
tale of that forever. Xo cog will ever
lie missed In that endless chain. But
we shall not wholly die in the song
we carry in our heart, the love with
which we love the being of another,
the smile we give another wayfarer at
dusty noonday.—Collier's Weekly.
Colors of Crapes.
The dark-red color of certain grapes
is due to a compound of tannin which
all varieties of the vine contain. The
color seems to depend on the com
bined action of the air. light and heat.
The change in color is produced
naturally in the vine by means of a
specific ferment which carries the
oxygen of the air to the grape. Those
ferments are often the agents of
coloring in vegetable substances, as
they are often seen in apples and
in potatoes which have been cut open
and thus exposer] to contact with the
rir. The grapes that are white on
maturity owe the absence of coloring
to the absence of this form. nt.
