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. Card of Thanks.

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.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1912. 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.
