Democrats Musfc Q-et Together. THE PARMER and the INSTITUTE Congressman Griggs of Georgia in Nqw York at Democratic Club Meeting to com- memmorate Jefferson’s|birthday.. “The democratic party has nev- ev lost an election when united. We must get together this year. I promise that all democrats shall be made to feel welcome in our father’d house, so long as I may housekeeper ;every democrat shall be the equal of all,'from whatever quarter he. may come and without regard to previous opinion^. If we shall stand together a^ we ought to do,we shall this fall send a democratic governor to Albany, and a democratic house of repre sentatives, to Washington. Either will be a liappy augury of demo cratic success in 19,04. This great- ly to be desired result canhot be accomplished without many sac rifices and much <hard work. Those of us who are charged with the responsibility of conducting this campaign pledge the party faithful service, and in return We. beg of democrats everywhere to hold up our hands. “If we would route the forces of imperialism, of corruption and of unequal taxation; if we would de throne the trusts and re-enthrone the people; if we would be re lieved of unjust tariff exaction;if we would destroy the tyranny of a congress, which, in its determina tion to legislate for our insular possessions regardless of the con stitution, is a most formidable menace to free institution at home;if we would restore a’rigor ously frugal and simple’ adminisr tration of government,a truly Jef fersonian administration, the democratic party must be placed again in power. If we would suc ceed, we must organize. I cry to Cultivating Against Drouth. you, as from the house tops, we must organize for a fight all along the line; we must labor without ceasing. We must watch and work as well as pray. Then, on the 4th day of next November the sun will look down on a happy and triumphant democracy. During the two years to follow we shall drive home. the gredt truth— ‘Rights of property are best pro tected when human rights are most protected.’ Then, girding our loins for the great battle of 1904, supported by the grand old democratic war cry of ‘Equal rights to all, special privileges to ! > itm oUn 11 win in oaI ill columns to the polls from the north, the south, the oast and the west and forever sweep from place and power the allied forces of greed, corruption and special privileges.” By William P. Perkins, Denver, Mass. Every farmer, no matter in what state or what seotion of the county he may live,should be sure to attend any farmer’s institute within his reach. The farmer is handicapped by the forced isola tion. of his life, and every oppor tunity for meeting with ■ his fel lows should be embraced, even if it requires some effort and. sacri fice to accomplish this. A man can do much solid thinking in sol itude, but to develop his wits, to be ready of speech, and to have the narrowness of his ideas rubbed out of him, hi needs the intimate association with other men, the interchange of thought, the spirit ed argument with other minds. The farmer oan profit muoh by the development of his social life, for every man is in a natural way a gregarious animal. He desires company. This accounts for the tremendous number of clubs, lodges, etc., where man is wont to meet man, The institute, the grange and other agricultural so cieties perform the functions of a farmers’ olub, and should be patronized liberally by farmers. In union is strength, and one of the chief reasons why it is so hard to get farmers to unite and pull in unison and harmony is because of the isolation and independence of their various lives. Let farm ers meet oftener, talk things over, and understand and realize the actual community of their inter ests, and much good will result, The farmers’ institute is growing ing better and better, more and more practical every year, and should receive the support of every live farmer in this country. It is the best kind of institution in which to learn of other farm ers’ successes and failures,achieve ments and losses, and conquests over adverse ciroumstances. The subject of agriculture is too deep and broad for any man to know it all. One must profit by other men’s experience. It is costly business to learn everything • by the light of one’s own individual experience. How foolish to make mistake after mistake, costly blunders that some other man has made and can warn his fel lows against. It is the province of the institute to post farmers on all practical subjects, to help them in every reasonable way to meet the fierce competition of the the times, to equip them for their life work. Dr. W. 0. Stubbs in Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for April. On the approach of a drouth, cultivators should be run very shallow and almost continuously. By so doing a thin layer of earth removed from the great rhass of soil is laid as a mulch on the sur face, and the continuous upward "movement of the water through the soil into-the air is checked just below the surface, and» the roots of the plants oan then ap propriate it. The continuity of capillary pores are broken and the watfr is arrested just below the surface, and is there retained for the use of the plant. By cul tivating continuously during dry weather the mulch is restored as fast as the oapillary action of the water in the soil destroys it. Again, finely divided soils have the power of absorbing hydroscop ic moisture from the air, a not in significant property in a prolong ed drought in a olimate like Lou isiana, with heavy dews at n'ight. Wants To Help Others. ‘‘I had stomach trouble all my life,” says Edw. Mehler, proprie tor of the Union Bottling Works, Erie, Pa;, “and tried all kinds of remedies, went to several doctors and spent considerable money trying to get a moment’s peace.

Saved Many a Time* A Southern Writer Worth Watching Itsis not at all improbable that before many years have passed the South will be pointing proud ly to a new writer in the field of fiction; a writer whose present work along another line gives promise of something of endur ing interest if she turns to fiotion when more mature—-Helen Keller. This wonderful girl from Alaba ma, blind, and deprived of all sense of hearing, is putting so muoh poetic feeling, sentiment and deep thought, and is showing such marveloue descriptive pow er, in her story of her life now ap pearing in The Ladies’ Home Journal, that one cannot help wondering what she would do if she were to try her hand at a ro mance. It is too early yet for her to think of it, as she is only twenty-one, and still in college; but it requires no stretch of the imagination to conceive of her as becoming one of the South’s most famous authors by>and by.
