ENTERTAINMENT. “America’s great heart is now being stirred to its depths by the appeal for the destitute famine orphans of India.

The one crop above all others which should engage the attention of every farmer at this time is that oue which heads this article. There is an old adage which says, “If a thing is worth doing at all it should be well done.” This old proverb could not be more forcibly applied to any work on the farm than that required in connection with the preparation of our lands for the coming crop of wheat. The time has passed when each farmer relying upon the splendid fertility of soil, freshly cleared of Virgin forests, can lightly break the surface, sow grain and expect yields. Our lands have been cleared and submitted to annual cultiva¬ tion lor many decades, inmost in¬ stances cultivated in crops which have a tendency to harden and cement the soil rather than loosen and pulverize it. Take a field for instance which has been cultivated principally in cotton, the land being plowed but lightly each year with a constant packing caused by the daily tramping of mule or horse, and the subsoil becomes as hard almost as brickbate just a few inches below the surface of the soil. In planning for the best development of any species of plant life on the farm it is well to know something of the laws of nature, The very life of every farmer is closely interwoven with the marvelous laws of nature. Nature will bountifully take care of every farmers home if lie will bub study her laws, apply them intelligently in the management of his crops, and otherwise ener¬ getically do liis duty, The mag¬ nificent and varied resources cf our beautiful southland make it possible for every tiller of the soil to weave peace and plenty about his fireside and to be able to walk the public highways as that strong and independent character which our creator in (ended him to be. when at the dawn of civilization agriculture was given as the first business in which man should en gage.

A most remarkable family resides at Monroe Fail, Ohio. A few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. Moore gave to the public an outline as to how Hiey had raised a family of twenty children on the small salary which Mr. Moore has commanded, $1.20 to $1.80 per day. The story is as follows: Mr. Moore is fifty years old and ins wife is forty-three. Both were from Mon tons, Penn. Moore went to Ohio in 1876. The first child to bless the union was Norah, now twenty-three years old. Mrs. Moore gives the following list of their children: Norah, twenty f hree; Bertha, twenty-one; Lucy, twenty; John, nineteen; Harry, seventeen; Deila, llifteen; Hazel, fourteen ; Maud, thirteen • Deffany twelve (dead);- Frank, eleven; Amy, ten; Charles, nine (dead); Austin, eight; Isaac, six; Roger, five; Evelene, four; Russell, three; Chester one (dead), and baby boy two weeks old. The family not being large e nough a little one named Bernice, aged three, was adopted. At pres¬ ent fifteen of the children are at home. Norah was married two weeks ago and Bertha is in Akron. Moore is exceedingly proud cf his family, and nothing delights him more than to talk about them. He says: “Yes, I have found it a little close to bring up my family on $1.80 per day, and even $1.20, but I managed it. I go to Akron and buy my corn and flour by whole¬ sale. It takes a snug sum to shoe my family. I usually buy my shoes in dozen lots, and the last merchant I purchased of threw in a shoe butt-oner. But things are getting easier My boy gets near¬ ly as much as I do, and two girls work here, too.” Every one in the family is insured. The home of this large family consists of six rooms, a sitting room, a bed room, and a kitchen down stairs and three bedrooms on the second flour. Mrs. Moore said they “had to sleep pretty close, but three worked at night, so it wasn’t so bad.” Five large beds are in the house, besides numerous trundle beds. m I aB OH m .A Si / m LI. ■ V i y aa? -ar §in ill a * fSSbKmh Ht i ■: is tsg^ffiaaa ied At CONYRS OIL CO’S Gift.
