Is without doubt the
most interesting practical, and most valu
able Southern Farm
Paper published.
It comes twice a
month, 24 times each
year; contains 24 to
40 pages, and covers
every department of
the farm and home.
It is worth much more
than the subscription
price of 50c per year.
The editors are all
practical farmers and
mow what they are
writing about.
The first issue of
each month is a Prize
Special, worth a year’s
subscription; “What
Farmers Are Doing” the
letters, mid-month printed issue, in
are
of great practical val
ne. Hundreds of dollars
are paid to subscribers for
articles each year, and the
experienceof these writers
will be worth hundreds of
dollars to you.

work.
One of the worst conditions
which the country schools have
to face is that of the deferred pay
ment of teachers. In the present
year the evil has reached is maxi
mum, the teacher’s having been
paid so far’ only ten per cent, of,
their hard earned salaries . While
this goes on, the country school
cannot hope to get the best teach
ers or to reach any high degree of
efficincy. No* matter how devoted
and self—sacrificing a teacher may
be, or how much she may be will
ing to lose, herself, in the work,
she must have enout'h money for
food, shelter, and clothing and, m
many cases, her salary as teacher
is her only dependence for these.
Often she has aged parents or help
less little brother and sister also
dependent on her earnings. Even
though she might barely subsist
without her salary, it is her only
dependence lor sell improvement
and the means of becoming a
teacher. It is easy to see that wdien
she is offered a place where her sal
ar.v wih be promptly paid’she will

which will greatly reduce even the
pittance which the State owes her.
In the interest of their childreu j
the intelligent people now living
in the country, should take measu
res to have this evil remedied,
Once the people are roused to the
importance of the matter, the rem
edy will iiokbe difficult. The defer- j
red payments are in no sense obligat’! neecs

ions of the State are met promptly j
The whole burden of waiting is I
