Great Inducements
To Small Farmers.
Comment in.tr upon farming
conditions and advantages irk this
section, W. 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. Waynesboro Banner.
