Agricultural The Labor Problem. Solve it by Improving Lands and Using Better 3Tarm T mnlpmpnfc WiniiBboro News & Herald. The sowing of grain has been "very much retarded by the long dry spell. Now that it has rain ed, it should be the order of the day. No farmer should fail to put in a reasonable part of his land in grain. It is only through the raising of all his supplies at home that the farmer can reap the profits that come from the raising of cotton, even at 11 cents.

Leave in these two rows of corn from two to three times as much stalk in each row as any of your sorry farmers around you, who make only dO bushels per acre will tell you to leave, and don't let them scare you to death by telling you it is too thick, for you can't raise a hundred or two hundred bushels of corn on an acre of land without the stalks for it to grow .v.. ...,,1 ~ i. - u ... vii auu laiiu iiiaur nni riiuu^ii iu I -grow it.

Uovington, Ua., special to Augusta Chronicle: Evidence of the productivity of Newton county soil is shown by the result of an experiment this season in cotton culture by E. (). Lee, a prominent merchant and capitalist of this city. On seven acres, which had been in constant cultivation tor twenty years or more, Mr. Lee will get nearly fourteen, 500pound bales of cotton, or two bales to the acre, which is no unprecedented yield for tins sec tlou. Mr. Lee, however, is ol the opinion that by the adoption of the intensive method the average farrti in Newton county could be made to produce from one to two bales ot cotton to the acre. In the cultivation ot bin sevenacre patch ot cotton, Mr. Lee used 950 lbs. ot commercial terti lizer to tli? acre, besides a large quantity ot stable manure.

Augus'a Chronicle : Mary Frances Ellingham, an aged negro woman, the washer woman for a prominent attorney of this city, possesses an old yellow cat whose phief elaim to distinction is her remarkable and most ifntisual fondness for two little fox terrier puppies, to whom she daily acts the part of a devoted mother. The reason for this surprising act on the part of tho feline can only be explained as follows : Three weeks ago "Bo peep," the cat, became the mother of two little kittens, whose earthly existence was of but two days duration. "Fannie," a fox terrior doc, another of tho old woman's pets, also had an addi tion to her family?two diminutive fox terriers. Several days later, "Ho peep" had the misfortune to lo e her kittens, they dying very suddenly. The very next day "Fannie" was crushed beneath the wheels of a Monte Sano bound car, at the corner ot lvollock and Gwinnett strets. This double misfortune broke the heart of the negro woman, who had become greatly d. voted to her pets, also, it left her with a ffrifif strieken rut n.nrl lw? 0 . ,, ^ motherless puppies on her hands J A difficult problem confronted j her. What should she do with ; the pups? After much thought ; alio decided that "T*o Peep/' the cat, should take the place i of the dead mother dog. This j experiment was made, and with j great success. "Bo Peep" in- stantly formed a strong attach < mont for the two puppies, and i she now watches them and ^ 1 - 2 guards them as jealously as if she were their mother. The puppies, it may be added, nevei seemed to realize that tneir real mother had left them. Another side of "Bo Peep's" remarkable nature became known last week, during the nnlrl snnll It was than that. the negro woman found that two little t hickens, which she poss essod, were in danger ol freez ing at night because the hen had deserted them. The week old chickens were placed in the box with the cat and the pup pies, and there they found warmth and life, sleeping on the furry coat of the cat. $100.00 Reward.
