Crawford Lewis, farm demonstrator for Houston county, Georgia, said: “The south offers such induce ments that 1 regard it t ! • poor man’s paradise. Cor.aider the variety of crops, the range of vegetation zones, the long grow ing season, and our short, mild winters -nothing can beat it. “And now is the farmer’s op portunity, and will continue his opportunity, for prices for some thing to eat are high and wili continue to be high. Not only is the price high for what people eat, but look at hay an 1 corn and peas. I noticed a few days ago that an Americas dealer paid $550 for one single car load of hay—an ordinary car, sixteen tons. This hay cost $35 per ton and can’t be sold for less than S4O at retail What a chance for the farmer? He can make hay, even 12-cenf‘cotton can not equal hay at such prices, and boll .weevils do not eat hay, nor does it require to be worked every month in the year.” Industrial Index. Words Os Cheer. The heavy rains and the cool snaps have certainly made the people in this country look blue. The town people too are feeling the depression and it looks like they are about to give up. Listen, friends, the situation is not near so bad as some of you make it. In spite of the bad weather we have some pretty crops in the county | and it is not so late yet that we cannot do something. Down in the central section of the county there are many farms that show up well and right around the city we see good cotton and corn. Let’s quit grumbling, shake off the blues and go to work. The Master above is directing things and He is not going to be too hard.—Lyons Progress, Knew Nothing of Chimneys. | In the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum no discovery appears to have been made of anything approaching the nature | of the modern chimney. The earliest mention of the chimney seems to be in an an , cient Venetian inscription over a , i doorway, where it is w ritten that in 1347 certain chimneys in that location were demolished by earthquakes. It is by conjecture only that we are able to say that the chimney was known in an cient Italy. Seneca, who lived j during the first century of our | era, invented a species of tube which he affixed to the length of the wall, and it seems to have run through floors. Through this the heat passed, from subterranean ovens called ; “hypoeausts,” of which remains were found in buried cellars of houses built on the Bay of Na ples. But in this there is no evidence of any chimney in the modern sense or even of any kind of stove. Before the invention of the chimney fires were made in excavations or pits opened be neath the floor of habitations in about the center of the room, as the Eskimos do today. The hearth of the ancient Ro- I mans was in the porch, but the ! fires lighted there were not de-! signed to make houses habitable, seemingly, but were merely an indication of hospitality to friends. The houses, when occasion called for heat, were furnished ■ wdth firing pan and bellows car ried from room to room by slaves. 1 This was in more or less constant j operation day and night in very i cold weather. In the early cen- • turies of the Middle Ages there seems to have been an attempt made to perfect the very elemen- i tary fashion of house-warming, j Before the seventeenth centu-! ; ry there is no direct evidence , available that a satisfactory ; method had been found to evac- 1 1 uate the gases liberated by com- > bustion. Harpers Weekly. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 20, !!M2. CORELESS APPLES. A cunning horticulturist, of Delaware, is said to have evolved an apple that has neither seed nor core. His achievement is parallel to other recent experiments by which it is sought to rob the per simmon of its pucker. Coreless apples and puckerless persimmons are, to be sure, very interesting in their fashion, but like most such oddities, they will hardly endure or cut much figure |in the real world. It is not by miriclep but by commonplaces that life proceeds and sustains itself. When Nature takes it into her head that a variation from the established type is needed, she , sets about to accomplish the change with a patience that com passes thousands of years and with a minuteness that extends to invisible and almost unthinka ■ ble ions. And when she has fin ished her work it is permanent., i Along comes man, on the con-; trary, and by means of that lit tie tool we call intellect trumps forth his miracle in the course of j a year or a generation. He crows 1 over his toy delightedly. But in the course of a few Aprils it dis solves and drifts back into the common run of things. Atlanta Journal. One Reason Why. It is not infrequent that news papers find themselves unappre ciated by the men whom they have favored by their support, J column after column being pub : lished in their favor, and yet such favors when the test comes, i are unappreciated. When you | find your home paper taking no I interest in you or your success, j when you find it keeping aggra j vatingly silent when you think | the editor should be tearing his linen in your behalf, do network yoursef into a fever of.anxiety as to the cause, but just ask your self wherein you have placed the paper and its editor under obli gations to use space and energy for you.
