Yet We arc half asleep this Christmas day. Phillips Brooks once said: “It is rather strange how freshly and delight fully the Christmas feelings come back year after year." E* Latelv my mind has dwelt much <-n that little Bethlehem village and the dtycums’ances that nineteen hundnJ years ago occurrred there. In fancy , I could see Joseph arriving, wea* y and anxious about a comfortable place for Mary, and imagine his dismay | when told that there was no room nt the Inn for her. In those days there J were not any comforts In travel, as we now consider comforts —for even the rich—and Mary's ride on the back of an animal mii't have l»een unspeak ably hard on her. A soft bed and a ouiet room would have been a boon, even a room in a relay inn would have been apprec:at edd, but such wes denied her. and in , e manger the King oF Heaven and t Warth was born. However. God has I dominion over the fetters of poverty j as well as the proclamations of wealth, t-erwld ancrels announced the birth and listening shepherds left their flocks to. worship the Babe.

These wise men went to Herod for information, just as many earnest seekers after the truth grasp all sorts of isms and read the doctrines of men instead of the Inspired Book. Only a 1 few days ago I saw a young woman poring over a certain magazine purport ing to give new views of God's holy book. I eaid: “If you read the Bible as faithfully as you do that book, you would have more light.” Best of all, there were some who went to worship, not the King of the Jews, but a “Saviour who is Christ the Lord.” There are some today who like Simeon and Anna know the Scriptures so well that the supernatural does not confound them; others with the implicit confidence In God that Joseph and Mary manifested possess a heart experience of immeasurable worth. This Christmas will bring good tidings to all whose hearts are ready, to all who are not afraid to open their hearts 1 and aumit the lowly Babe and make Him ! King of their lives. Many pride them | selves on being free from prejudice or superstition, yet in them we find the most abject fear, for they are afraid to accept Jesus and go where He leads. They do not know of the "peace that passeth understanding.” Dear onee, open your hearts for "You know each Christmas day , He leaves His heavenly kingdom And returns to earth to stay. x He loves to come and tarry, these joy ous Christmas days. And the poorest ones among us, the low ly and oppressed. However poor their dwelling, may have Him for a guest." » Faihfully yours, LIZZIE O THOMAS.

The first room was tb< stock room, where • they keep the bundles of fur. It comes tn txindles of five pounds each and of 1 course there are several grades of fur from i • which different grades of hats are made. This fur costs from $1.75 to several dollars a pound. . I The fur is run through a machine called the ; devil machine. This U something on the order t lor a gin except larger and there arc man» of them, then it Is run through an automati: ’ feeder to grade the material. The top is the best quality and the other is taken out. The fur I goes through 45 sections of pickers which make revolutions at the rate of thre< thousand and •! two hundred per minute and they are very , dangerous. After this it la carried In 140-pound 1 { lots to the forming mills. There is Is run , 1 through a sngtlon at sneh a terrific - force that ’ | when it strikes a cone shaped concern covered i. In it sticks. This cone-shaped machine revolves : as the fur is blown against it. The fur Is weigh ted on the most sensitive scales.

I WHEN TO MAKE PRESENTS Dear Household: Three weeks until Christmas and I am here to tell you that all my presents are ready. I am a clerk in a grocery store. -Rather unusual work for a woman,”your readers may say but It is nice work and I wonder why mote I girls do not take It up. I have my regular * customers. Just as the boys in the store have, ' and am oft-n called upon to help them out 1 with suggestions. Still, that is not what I started out to say. 1 The reason I am so fortunate as to have my 1 presents ready for Christmas Is. I bought theia at odd times all during the year. When a would see a dainty little picture, a lox that , I could be covered and used for gloves or veils. I any unusual article I would say that will suit I Soand-Ro. and forthwith get It. Oh. some may say. “I never have the mon ey.” Then how do you plan to pay for all of ’ them at one time? 1 don’t want the New Year to bring me all sorts of bills for Christmas presents. Os course at the last minute there will be some unexpected gift to make, but I bare some little books I vhall use. How about my iTirtstmas cards? Well, the day they came I I went o<yr to the leok store and selected mine. We were not half as rushed in our own store then and I could be spared an extra he.lf hour. We are all going to make all sorts of resol -1 tions. some to keen, some to break, but a mighty fine one will be to take time by the forelock and gradually lay in the things that can be used at Christmas. ••The silent sies are full of speech For who hath ears to hear; The winds are whispering esch to eseb. ’lTic moon Is calNng to the beach. The stars their sa-rad mission teach Os Faith and Love and Fear.” PHILLIPPA LOWNEY. SOME CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS Dear Household: Farmers are about done gathering and we are having some cold weather. It will not be long until Christmas and I am r.onderinz how Christ's birthday will be cele brated. Some are going to have their whisky If their ration bill is not paid. It is so sad to think that a person will use it. The Bible •ays. “Wine Is a mocker, strong drink is rag ing and whosoever Is deceived thereby Is not wise.” I want to ask all that expect to use —hisky to read Isaiah the sth chapter, from the 10th to the 15th reraes. Whisky fs the greatest curse on earth. It carries a long train of woes, it breaks up homes and drives away happiness. It brings on distress and dis ease it causes hearts to ache and drives away J miles and brings on tears. It will deprive you ' of clothes and food. It will carrv you to jail and put you tn the chalngang. It will em'se you to kill and vou .to b> bung and last of all. but not the least. It will keep you out of heaven and send you to torment.

Emery, WE 56, Chicago, lIL EVER BEEN TO VISIT THE CHILD-SELVES BEHIND THE LITTLE GREEN DOOR? Here’s a Charming Book That Mates One Sort o' Wistful and Sorry to Be a G ownup. Did you ever pass through the Little Green Door into the place where people's child-selves go when the real selves grow up and forget? “There they never grow old. never grow tired of fairy tales, or games, or frolics; never are too big to be hugged and petted and kissed.” Never been there? What a deal you’ve missed, then, for there the child-selves "are always the same, doing over and over again the things they did when they were real children, out in the big world." A happy grown-up who hasn't forgotten her child-self, and who does often wan der in that happy place behind the Little Green Door, has written a book about it, a new book dedicated "to all the lit tle lost child-selves in the world,” a book that makes one feel sort o’ wistful and sorry one has grown up, a book your youngster—if you are fortunate enough Ito have one—will revel In. I The author is Mary Dickerson Donahey ' and the book is "Through the Little | Green Door.” Maybe you’re wondering i what to give a little boy or girl you I know for Christmas. This is just a sug gestion. then, that will Insure a happy result, and the writer doesn’t get a cent commission for making it, either. Little Judith Granger lived In a big. old house, once famous for its vines and roses, a quiet old house secluded in its aristocratic solitude by stores and big office buildings al labout it. Judith’s great grand-mother loved her, but was very old, and Judith had a lonesome time of it. She liked to think she was a captive princess. There was a little green door in one wall of her room, a door that had been closed for years and years, no body knew how long. Nobody knew what was behind it. Judith wanted to know. One day when Judith was very lonesome she went right up to the little green door and spoke to it. "Where do you lead to?” she asked, just as if the door could speak. When, sure enough, it did. The panels seemed to tremble beneath her hands and a low. sweet voice said softly: “I lead Into the past." For a moment' Judith was astonished. Not really frightened. Then came a great sigh of relief. She was going to know at i Boys’ and Girls’ Industrial Clubs of Georgia (Continued from Page 5) an application of two tons of finely ground lime per acre at the same rela tive cost, and where this can be done, it is not a matter of such great moment which form of lime is used. It should be said in passing that caustic lime tends to destroy the nitrogen content of the soli more than the ground rock; therefore, it is best to use it only on land containing a meager supply of vegetable matter and in very bad physical condition. Where soils have been Improved through crop rotation it is probably more desira ble to use the finely ground limestone rock. CULTIVATION OF CORN. P. R. M., Jesup, Ga., writes: I have an acre 1 wish to put in corn next spring. I intend to turn about 7 Inches deep and then subsoil about 4 Inches. Will that be any better than turning 10 or 12 inches? The «?*1 is black with clay subsoil. J intwJ putting rows about 4 feet apart, and leaving stalks 18 Inches apart. About the second plow ing I want to put 60 pounds of nitrate of soda, and theft"£he third or fourth, about />0 pounds of potash, and the last plowing. ’l5O pounds of phosphoric acid. Will that make good corn? If would be better practice to break your land 7 inches deep with a turn ing plow and then subsoil 4 inches deeper than to plow 10 to 12 inches deep where the soil has not been deeply stir red before. The deepening of the soil, that is, bringing fresh material to the surface, should be a gradual process. In the course of two or three years there would be no objection to your turning your land 12 inches deep and then sub soiling to a greater depth if possible. your land off in 4-foot rows, as you contemplate, and leave the 18 Inches in the drill. Put your phosphoric acid and potash under the drill row before planting the corn. If you can secure some compost to go with It so much the better. If not, add a little cottonseed meal, say at least 50 pounds, to the mixture. This will make an applica tion of 350 pounds at the time of plant ing the corn. It will then be all right to use nitrate of soda as a top dress ing in one or two applications, provided the growth of the corn Is such as to warrant it. Os course, if the crop is in a green, vigorous condition through out the growing season, nitrate need not be used. Phosphoric acid and pot ash are not readily leached out of the land nor are they as quickly assimilated as some other forms of plant food. Therefore, it is better practice to put them in the soil early in the season so the crop may have a chaince to utilize them as completely as possible. A subscriber writes: I have bought a nice level 50-acre farm on credit. I have two good mules and plenty of tools to do good farming. We have doubled the yielding capacity of the land in four ! years. I still owe considerable and have only four years to pay it in. Suppose I could get some one to furnish me four or six cows. Could I make them pay expenses and pay for themselves the first year? -I have two boys large enough to help with the work. We have plenty of corn and hay and cottonseed to feed our mules and cows, and have several acres sown to oats, and five or six acres in Bermuda pasture. Would like to have your advice concerning go ing In debt for the cows as an invest ment and if you think I could make it a paying proposition. It is always a serious matter for a man to go in debt, and one naturally hesitates to advise such a step, but there can be no question as to the profit which one can make out of dairy cows if they are properly managed and handled. On the college farm we have bought cows at $35, which have netted us, with milk celling at 40 cents a gal lon, $l5O to SISO a year. With butter the profit, of course, would be much less, but there is no reason why you should not secure 35 to 40 cents a pound for good butter the year around. It is selling at that price in Athens now and there is a very scant supply at best. Os course, there is a vast differ ence between good and bad butter, and one should secure bulletins on the sub ject and read them with care, following the suggestions laid down so as to put the product on the market in the best condition. It is also possible to go out and buy cows at $35 to S4O apiece which will not ,pay for their keep. One must study the animals carefully and choose only good animals in order to succeed. Comparatively little shelter is needed for cows in this climate, and with good Ber muda pasture and rye sown in the fall to graze on in the winter, and*hulls and meal, cows can be made to pro duce a good flow of milk which will analyze quite high in butter fat as well. In my judgement there is no line of business which offers a better return to the farmer than that of dairying, provided he is careful and makes a thorough study of the business. Un doubtedly, many have tried it who have failed, but this has not been the fault of the business, but rather of the indl- t ,Illicit MABT DICKTB.SON DOXAHEY last. She leaned her head still closer to the door, whispering gnetly: “May I go though?” And suddenly the heavy hinges swung creakingly, the door was open and Judy passed in. How Judith found four other Judy Grangers there. Including the puritan Judith of long, long ago, but all just hap py children now; how at first they were afraid of her because she was a real child, not like themselves, but finally grew to love her very much; how Judith had all sorts of happy times with them behind the Little Green Door, In the past, you must discover for yourself in the book Itself. But, of course, it can’t bring back just the tiniest little bit of your own child self, maybe you won't care much about what happened behind the Little Green Door. vidual and the management he pursued. With several boys to assist you in do ing the work, you can by giving careful attention to the business conduct ,a dairy herd along lines that will increase your revenue, and enable you to meet the obligation which confronts you. Why not visit the college and spend a day in looking over our dairy herd and equipment and talking to the men charge of the wonk? You can then see just how the herd is fed and managed and the kind of equipment which has been provided in order to organize and conduct the business along profitable lines. J • • S. R. C.» Bamberg, S. C„ writes: I have a plot of land which Is brown sandy loam which I wish to plant in long staple cotton. I propose to mix 8-4-4 acid 'and kalnit salt In equal pro portions and run 200 pounds in the drill row and 200 pounds as second applica tion with the view of getting a half bale per acre. What do you advise? Where can I obtain genuine long staple cotton seed ? We believe that a good formula for long staple cotton on land of the char acter described in your letter would be 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 6 per cent of pot ash. Certainly this amount of potash should be used If there is any tendency for the cotton to shed either squares or bolls, or to show any evidence of the limitation of the potash supply in dicated by what is known as rusting. Sandy loam is quite likely to be defi cient in phosphoric acid and potash, and long staple cotton if it makes a vigor ous growth requires quite liberal feed- HOME AND FARM YOU SAVE MONEY IF YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFER.

You could not se cure these percentages If you used cot ton seed meal as the sole source of ni trogen. There is no reason that we know of why you should use kainit salt In • preference to muriate of potash in this/ mixture.
