SENATE COMMITTEE
FOR COLLEGE BILL
It is Proposed to Spend
$3,000,000 in Farm
Instruction.
Washington, I). G., Doc. 14.
The Senate Committee on Agri
culture this morning, through
Senator Hoke Smith, favorably
reported the bill appropriating
$3,000,000 to the land grant col
leges for agricultural extension
work.
This is the bill that was intro
duced in the Senate bv Senator
Smith on Jan. 16 and introduced
in the House the next day by
Congressman Liver of South
Carolina. The bill has passed
the House and is now pending
before the Senate with a favor
able report. Its object is to carry !
to the homes of the farmers the
full benefit of the instruction and
experiments of the agricultural
colleges of the country.
Represen tat > e Lever, discuss
ing the hill, said to-day:
“This bill passed the House on
Aug. 23 last and I have no doubt
but that Senator Smith will push
it through the Senate without
delay. There is deep interest in
the matter all over the country.
Next Monday night I will speak j
to the district hankers’ associa
tion on the subject, explaining it
to them in detail.”
Rotation of Crops.
The rotation of crops is certain
ly a good thing for a farmer to
study. It is well for the owner
of land to know the reason for
different crops in regular rota
tion. A farmer/turns up a lot of
his pasture land and raises, this
year, a crop of potatoes; next
year, on the same land, a crop of
corn; next, a crop of rye: next,
clover and grass. This is a com
mon four-fold rotation.
The object of rotation in crops
is to make a Held on a farm yield,
with a certain amount of labor
and of manure, the greatest pos
sible amount of valuable crops,
with as little possible exhaustion
of the soil.
The reason for a rotation of
the crops is that not two plants,
of different kinds, require the
same substances, in the same
proportion, for their nourishment.
The grains and the grasses may
soon exhaust the supply of silica.
They should therefore not ifn
mediately succeed each other as
crops. They should be each fol
lowed by a crop which needs less
of silica, but more of potash or
some other mineral salts. A field
which would not yield a second
good crop of of wheat may, even
without manure, give a good
yield of clover, turnips or carrots.
Pesky Hens Just Won't
Lay in Thomasville.
Thomasville, Ga.. Dec., 16.-
Ignoring the fact that Christmas
is very near at hand and that
shipped eggs are no good for
making eggnog the hens in this
section are still not attending as
they ought to their legitimate
business and fresh eggs are
scarce and high.
There are some few of the old
fashioned variety of the hen fam
ily that are doing their part in
supplying the demand for fresh
eggs, but the large majority
seem to have imbibed the new
suffragette ideas and refuse to
attend to their domestic duties
as they should.
Fresh eggs from the country
are selling here at forty-five and
fifty cents per dozen.

sings l>e bestowed upon you all

A Plan Which Never Fails. ’
A certain saloonkeeper has a
harmless box, which once con- .
tained the inner works of a photo
graphic camera, but which is now
empty, although it has the out
ward appearance of a picture- 1
taking machine. He uses this
as a protection against habitual
“drunks. ”
It is known all over Montgom
ery, that the saloonkeepers, to
protect themselves from certain
provisions of the Smith bill, have
decided to put up in their saloons
the'picture of habitual
whom they have been notifiea
not to sell. If after receiving
such a notice, a soloonkeeper
should sell a habitual drunkard a
drink he can be fined and the
family of the drunkard can re
eover the sum of SIOO for every
drink sold the unfortunate.
Now a drunken man usually
considers it a mortal insult to be
refused a drink. This particular
saloonkeeper has had no trouble
since he evolved his scheme, A
“drunk” comes in and announces:
“I want a drink.”
“You know you can’t get a
drink in here,” says the saloon
keeper.
“I’ll have a drink or I’ll know
the reason why,” says the in
ebriated visitor defiantly.
With that the saloonkeeper
reaches for his camera box and
says:
“I’ll just take your picture.”
It has never failed to work.
Every time the fellow pulls his
hat over his face and runs like a
turkey out of the place. From
’ the Montgomery Advertiser,
The “Country Lawyer.”
The country lawyer is usually
; regarded lightly by members of
his profession who practice in
’ large cities. Ilis fees are small
in comparison with theirs. He is
often not as sleek and well groom
ed. Generally speaking he knows
< as much law as his city colleague
because he is rarely a specialist.
He takes all sorts of cases, like
his friend the country doctor, and
digs out the law and the facts
i for himself without a corps of
assistants. He becomes resource
’ fill. He is ready in emergencies.
Generally speaking he has a good
. j sense of humor, whetted to a
■ keen edge by the rich experiences
of practice in the court houses of
a country circuit. He is always
a prominent citizen of his com
munity, and, nearly always, he
becomes “judge” automatically
by popular consent, although he
may never have sat upon the
bench, or is dubbed “colonel” or
"major” or “general” if he is a
Southerner. And despite the
fact that his fees are not large,
as compared with those of metro
-1 politan lawyers, he usually man-
I ages to accumulate a good deal
before he is middle-aged.

TELEPHONES ON THE FARM
Are Great Help in Several
Different Ways.
Every community ought to en- 1
courage the building of tele
phones. Nothing adds more to
safety, nothing adds more to
comfort, nothing more certainly
facilitates business, nothing will
keep you so well informed con-'
cerning weather conditions or
market conditions.
Gradually the telephone wires
are being extended to smaller
towns throughout the farming
communities. If you are not
connected with the telephone
system, get together your friends
and neighbors, and take steps to
secure telephones in your own
houses that will bring you into
connection with the outside
world.
If you want a neighborhood
telephone of your own, it can be 1
easily secured at little cost. This
may be necessary if you are far
j removed from the village or town
system. Then after you have j
built up your neighborhood tele
phone, the larger companies will J
coine to you.
The telephone is a new force in
farm life, anew force anywhere;
and yet it has done more to
transform business, to change
the character of social life, than
almost any other modern conven
ience.—Home and Farm.
