The Man and the Dog.
These five little words of throe lit
tle letters have attracted a lot of at
tention lately all over th* country.
The Immediate cause of it all lies in
the fact that Geotge 0. Watt*, of Chi
cagn.rago, haa gone to hla last re
ward and In his will he left 120.000 to
his dog. Editor* have taken the mat
ter In hand and dlaruated It pro and
eon until we aee It everywhere. There
Is no law against a roan doing what
he wishes with his money and Mr.
Vatta simply wanted to see his dog
cared for. When his motner died she
requested him to see that the dog
was taken care of and It seems that
the request will ho carried out,
though th< seu has followed the moth
er to the grave and last the dog her*
yet. When the dog die* the money
will go to four charitable Institution*
In Chicago.
A man's deg is a great thing and
from the day* when we read the lit
tle atorle* In the school books we re
member how they have repeatedly
been lauded. Once Senator Vest, of
Missouri, was the lawyer tn a damage
case where a man had killed his
neighbor's dog and the Jury gave
more than double the amount asked
after listening to th* following
speech.
Gentlemen of the Jury: The be*
friend a man haa la thl* world may
turn against him and beoome his
enemy His son er daughter that h*
has reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Thoae who are neare*
and dearest to us, those whom we
trust with our hepptne** sad our good
name, may beoome traitor* to
faith. The money that a man ha* tie
may loae. It Hies away from him
perhaps when ho Asdl It most. A
man's reputation tnav be sacrificed In
a moment of 111-considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on theirj
knee* to do ua hngor when success]

flentlemen of the Jury: A mans
dog stands by him In prosperity and
In poverty, In health and In sickness,
lie will sleep on the cold ground
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drive* fiercely, if only he may
be near hi* mastty's side. He will
kiss the hand that han no food tn of

that come In encounters with th*
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of hla pauper mailer as If
he were a prince. When all ntho

COTTON ROTATION AND FERTIL
IZERS.
With the rapid change* In methods
of farm management In the »<*u<U
from the old one-crop system to that
of diversified farming, more attention
Is being given to well balanced rota
tlnna, which will keep up the fertll-,
Ity of th* land and at the same time
bring profitable returns from year to
year Borne of the most
notion grower* have adopted a rota
tkin at a great profit to themselves
and their lands
Cotton, com, oats and pea* cnnstl
tute the four principal crop* which
may he grown in general field rota
tion throughout the southern states
An Ark cotton grower of long expe
rience practices a three-year rotation
of corn followed by fall-sown oata, *f
ter which pea* arc sown as aoon as
the oat* are harvested. Colton I*
planted the third year, with corn
again beginning the fourth season. This
rotation keeps the groudn In use prac
ttestily all of the time and Introduces
peas, which sre a great benefit to the
soil All the stable manure and cot
ton seed produced on the farm are ap i
piled to the corn land Just before It Is
plowed.
A Three Year Rotation.
Through sections of Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina a three
year rotation is practiced, which in
cludes more of the pea crop than the
one before mentioned. In this case
the peas sre sown between the rows
of corn at the last plowing and are
either cut for hay or pastured Jn the
fall.
Oats are sown In late fall and as
soon as harvest Is over pea* are aown)
In the oat stubble und cut for hav.
Colton follows as the third year's ro-j
tat lon In some cases wheat is sub-i
atltuted for oats
Fertilisers for Cotton.
Methods of fertilising the cotton
crop” differ widely and as yet no uni
form ayatent has been adopted on
many cotton farms. Those who have
tried It report good success from Ihe
use of stable manure and cotton seed
upon the corn crop which Is grown
previous to cotton A liberal appltcn
tlon of acid phosphate and muriate of
potash to the grain crop also gives
good returns throughout the rotation
Making the Beat Cotton Crop.
Colton la * plant inquiring a fer
tiliser which la complete, rather than
alrong In any one element, and conse
quently thrives beat when grown tn a
rotation. Phosphoric acid seems to
exercise a greater Influence upon the
production of the fiber than either
nitrogen or potash, but these later ele
menls muat also be present In order
to secure a strong growth tn the early
part of the season.
The Georgia experiment station rec
ommends for general use a fertiliser
containing one part nitrogen, one part
potash and three of phosphoric acid
a* the proportion* of the principal ele
ments A fertlllier contalntg :t per
cent nitrogen. 9 par cent soluble phos
phoric acid, and 3 per cent potash, lo
t>e applied at the rate of TOO pounds
per acre, would be the best to use un
der ordinary circumstances. Another
good mixture which Is recommended
le that made up of 1.200 pounds acid
phosphate, *OO pounds cotton seed
meal and 200 pounds kainlt.—Farm

farmer*' inntttiites would nhow the hen

sheep, and only two or three actually
trying to find out what can be done
with the hen. Bvery farmers' Insti

The Always Profitable Hog.
The hog la pre-eminently the moat
profitable corn slid grain condensing
animal on the American farm. No
other domestic animal is capable of
converting so large a part of th*
feed It consumes Into edible meal,
nnd no other animal yields so largo
a percentage of dressed meat to live
weight. The hog will make from 12
to 15 ponnds of pork, live weight,
from a bushel of corn; the sheep
from 5 to 8: and the steer from 4 to
5. The sheep will kill 50 to «0 pet
cent of meat, th* steer from 55 to 65
per rent and the hog from 75 to 85
per cent. As an economical meat
producer the hog has no rival
Viewed as a machine for converting
farm feed stuffs Into finished pro
ducts. the hog stands preeminent.
He is even called upon to supple
ment and complete the process of
converting feed Into pork in the
feeding of nearly all other stock on
the farm. Eliminate the hog's part
in the economy of farm feeding
operations and you wil( remove the
factor of profit in many eases.—Ex

If your bauds are badly chapped,
wet them in warm water, rub them all
over with Indian meal, then put on a
coat of glycerine and keep them In
your pockets for ten days. If you
have no pockets convenient Insert
them In the pockets of a friend.
An excellent liniment for toothache
or neuralgia la made of sassafras oil
of organum and a half ounce of tinc
ture of capsicum, with half pint of
alcohol. Soak nine yards of red flan
nel in this mixture, wrap it around
the head and then insert your head in
a haystack till death comes to your
relief.
To remove scars or scratches from
the limbs of a piano, bathe th* limb
in a solution of tepid water and tinc
ture of sweet oil. Then apply a strip
of court plaster, and put th# piano
out on the lawn for the children to
play horse with.
To soften water for household pur
poses. put in an ounce of quicklime in
a certain quantity of water. If It is
not sufficient, use less water or more
quicklime. Should the immediate
lime continue to remain deliberate,
lay the water down on a stone and
pound It with a baseball club.
To give relief to a burn, apply the
white of an egg The yolk of the egg
may be eaten or placed on the shirt
bosom according to the taste of the
person. If the burn should occur on
a lady, she may omit the last Instruc
tion.
To wash black silk stockings, pre
pare a tub of lather, composed of tepid
rain water and white soap, with a
little ammonia. Then stand In the
tub till dinner is ready. Roll In a
cloth to dry. Do not wring, but press
the water out. This will necessitate
tae removal of the stockings.
To clean ceilings that have been
smoked by kerosene lamps or the
fragrance from fried salt pork, remove
the celling, wash thoroughly with
borax, turpentine and rain water;
then hang on the clothes line to dry
Afterward pulverise and spread over
the pic plant bed for spring weather.
Juvt Think.
Th# artist who, when asked how
'tie mixed hla paints, replied "with
1 bralna" has been quoted until the
saving so full of wit and wisdom is
hackeyed, but the truth which lies
Itn those two words is immortal.
There is no occupation, however
humblF, that does not gain dignity
and worth by being mixed with
brains. The hpad can save the
musclea much wear and tear. If it
ts trained to do ita part. We are
all inclined to fall into ruts and
blindly follow the beaten path, with
out considering whether a short-cut
would not be a saving of time and
steps
A farmer I know dodged a post
which stood in the passageway be
tween the house and barn for twenty
veari or more. The poet, was there
when he bought the place, and he
accepted ft aa a matter of course,
although when he passed It. with a
mtlkpatl in each hand or an armful
of wood. It put him to great Incon
venience.
One day hla aon-ln-taw, who was
' vlaltlng him said. "Father, who do
>ou have that post her* In the way?
I It doe* not. support any thing. nn<i
I,lt 1* a nuisance here In this narrow
| passage,"
Before the older man could reply,
1 the son-in-law took up the ax which
I was lying near nad knocked the of
'tending poet out of the path.
"Well, I declare." said the father
j "I have knocked against that post by
night and doged It hy day the*.)
1 twenty years, Juat because It had
slwaya been there arrt I didn't think
of removing It.”
The same farmer had been urged
for year* hv his wlf* ami daughter to
have the water from the well In the
i yard brought into the house, hut he
raised all sorts of bug-bears and felt
aur# In his own mind that It could
not be done.
"Where la th# pall? - ' he asked, "I
must go to the well and fill It."
"Try the pump," said the daughter.
Then he noticed, for the first time,
that instead of going to the water,
brains had brought the water to him.
and no one In the family took more
pride in th* new pump than did the
master of the house who had always
maintained that such a convenience
was impracticable.
I know another man who for near
ly a life-time allowed his family to
travel through summer rains and
winter snows a long path around the
north side of his sheds an;! barn to
feed the hen*, and never realized how
much unnecessary hardship he was
forcing upon them, until a heavy
wind blew the fence between the
cow yard and henhouse down one
night and revealed to him a short
and sheltered way botwoen the two
points, which needed only a gate .»
ward the south instead of the north,
to save thn family all the steps and
exposure they had been subjected to
for years.
Another family had the barnyard
daring the sitting room windows,
when a little thought would have
thrown It back behind the barn,
where it would have served every
purpose Just as well without spoiling
the view of the rooms most occu
pied. The change was at last made
at the suggestion of a visitor.
We are *U too inclined to let
things run on In the same old nits,
when a little thought would smooth
the way and make work a pleasure
instead of a burden. t
Don’t work so hard that you have
no time to think. The farmer who
has no time for thought has no time
for success. Think how you can
make your tasks easier, yuur sur
roundings more beautiful, your In
come greater, life more worth while.
Work without thought, is drudgery.
Just think. —A. F. Dyer, in Farm
and Home.
Dairy Notes.
If you are short ou silage, keep
It In reserve aud feed up miscellan
eous ends of coarse stuff that .you
have on hand, and save the allage
for the time when it will do the moat
good.
Be always on your guard around
the gentlest bull. He may be
like the gun that wasn't loaded.
A good, well-trained dog is invalu
able to the farm. A yelping worth
less our will run more milk out of
j the cows between the pasture and the
barn than you get into them through
ihe feed trough.
Don’t expect a good cow or steer
to develop from a stunted calf. They
don't grow that way.
If you have been reading good ag
ricultural papers for the last year,
and do not know any more than you
did about cows It la your own fault,
j The three-minute churn is a delu
sion.
Between extreme heat and extreme
jcold is the best time to dehorn cat
) Ue.
Remember that your future cows
are now wrapped in calf skins and
(that it behooves you to give them
i careful attention.
Milk quietly, cleanly, quickly, regu
larly.
Cow ties are rapidly taking the
place of stanchions.
Don't let the cow run with the
herd while In heat. She disturbs
them all. Confine her.
The value of a calf depends upon
the treatment it receives, as well as
upon blood.
Dispose of the self-sucking cow.
She's bad property.
Keep your hands soft with vase
line aud you will not hurt the cow
so much as with hard and horny
ones.
The milk scale is as essential to
dairy education as the keystone is to
the arch.
If for no other reason,' the dairy
farmer should have a separator be
cause he will get it all, an dthe skim
milk will be greately increased in
value for feeding purposes. The
calves and the pigs may have it
while fresh and warm, when it is not
only palatable but itgeslible.
Too 111(1011 cannot be said in favor
of the farm eream separator. The
arguments for Its use are many find
conclusive.
A scrub bull at the head of your
herd means ultimate failure.
Some of your cows may be rating
your money in feed and not even be
giving back the interest.
Keep few- good cows rather than
many poor ones.
The greatest leak In the dairy
business Is the lack of a knowledge
of essential requirements.
You cannot afford to use cheap
salt In your butter
Keep the cow’s hide clean and free
from barn-yard filth.
The wastes in dairying come from
apparently slight causes.
The cow which will not eat abund
antly will not produce liberally.
Dairy Jottings.
Cheap salt in butter is an expen
sive economy.
The wise dairyman keeps no more
cows than he can properly look
after.
*The woyen wire fence Is almost a
necessity on a farm where sheep are
kept.
Do not depend too much upon the
ram for Improvement; select your
ewea as well.

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt came from
i Paris, France, to the center of the corn
belt and showed tn the largest audi
ence that ever in the world gathered
together to witness a dramatic per
formance. It was done in Kansas City,
this state, at Convention hall. A $lO,-1

it, nor Paris, nor Chicago, nor Lon-;

a canter, easily, without turning a

But our theme is not Kansas City.;
Kansas City will be with us always,
while Mme. Bernhardt, is passing.
When two or three are gathered to
gether talking about Sarah Bernhardt
they speak of her age, of her gllmness.
of her propensity to kick over the
| tugs. This is not right. If you had
tieen in Convention hall the other night
Sarah’s age would have been the least
of your troubles. Y’ou wouldn't have
tost, any sleep because she didn't stick
out as far in places as some women
do. And the ocean rolls between K. ;
C. and gay Paree. which Is about the
; only thing you would regret as to
her conduct. Everything Is done the
same In France as In Kansas City ex
| cept talking. They make love the same
and Sarah is past master of the art.

with the consumption. She dies short
ly, but tn the meantime Is a very
warm number as It were. Duval loves
her and she loves him. but some other
fellows are paying her expenses. Du
val Is financially short. They do very
wrong, but Dumas, who wrote the
story, attributes that to their great
love and the fact that Camille had
consumption.
Finally old man Duval comes in from
the couutry and gets Camille to tell
young Duval that she loves one of the
other fellows. Thinks that will break
It up and save hla boys future. She
tells him. “Mon Dieu!" What a mag
nificent dimpled little liar she is. He
goes away after standing her on her
head, and she gets worse aoon, sends
for him and dies in his arras.
Making love and dying are Sarah’s
two long suits. She mar be better at
dying than she is at making lovf, buA
If she ever wants to give me a prlvattP
demonstration of her art I shall not
ask her to die. That's sure as God
made little apples. If you fellows
think it’s fun to see her die you ought
to have been at Convention hall. You’d
a give $lO to miss It. The other
shore was in plain sight, from th*
arena balcony. Some day she will do
that and it .will be sure 'nough. But
then they pay her well for getting so
close to the edge. I wouldn’t do It
for $1,500 a time. You ain’t talking
to me.
WhenlSarah hugs. O mercy me!
She throws her arms out far apart,
A joy bird slitters in your heart.
For once in life you're sure on deck.
She reaches twice around your neck.
.When Sarah Hugs.
When Sarah bows. O. mercy me! '
She loads her fingers to the tips
With kisses from her warm red lip#.
And easts them forth to fill the air,
And every fellow gets his share,
When Sarah Bows.
When Sarah dies. O. mercy me!
Y'ou forget the things that she hag
done.
Her capers then are all your own.
It. seems like she’s been pretty good,
And you've not lived just like you
should, .
When Sarah Dies.
Happiness is like your shadow;
you can’t get any nearer to it by
chasing it.
