Grows No Cotton or Tobacu
But This Farmer Make:
Money With Live Stock
Vegetables and Cannec
Goods.
l'rogressive Farmer.
Since reading U. W.Scott's let
ter, "Making Money Without f
Money Crop,"' I have decided t<
give you some of my experiences
1 live in the midpt of a cottoi
section. My neighbors are al
racing to see how much cottoi
they can grow to the mule; tlu
other crops are never thought of
I know farmers who boast ol
their many acres in cotton wh(
do not keep one decent milch cow
and have been hauling corn and
hay from the town to their farmt
for the past month or two. The}
do not have the time to prepart
ml trr/iw a 1
...... w.. .. hi supply the
family with vegetables. They dc
JV not know what good, wholesome
living is.
I believe in Mr. Scott's plan ol
farming. Whilo I am only work
ing a two-horse farm, yet you
will find more stock on that farm
than any six or eight farms ii
this section and they are stock
that pay. We milk twelve cows;
raise all the young heifers we
can (which are Rold at good
prices, for we breed good stock) :
the milk is all sold (sweet) at 8
fair profit; we raise well bre d
hogs and all pigs fit for breeding
are sold at good prices : the other e
are put into pork. We try to kill
one or two pigs each week from
October to March.
Corn is our principal crop. We
^mow about seventy-five tons silage,
to use in winter and early
spring for ca( e. We cut all oui
nnrn a twl okrA/1 a-u?
v?... .??u nui on i hi; ury corn,
which 18 used as roughage for
bows and horses. We also.; grow
/' oats and peavines which are fed
to stock. We do not buy forage
although we feed thirty head of
cattle and four niule3 and horses.
We grow vegetables to use at
home and to sell. We try to have
something from the field to sell
every month in the year. I will
name some of the truck we grow :
Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes,
cabbage, lettuce, onions, garden
peas, radishes, asparagus, strawberries,
dewberries, and other
things.
And there is another thing
that we do in a emalljjway and
which I think other farmers
would do well to look into: We
can from two thousand to three
thousand cans of fruit, vegetab les
unrl horrioo t\v\r oA??n^i? ???l? ^ ?-?
?? %? vf i t ion u ? rjI Y n^nnuii, ? IIU 11
other work is a little slack?about
July and August. We can snap
beans, tomatoes, dewberries and
peaches. You would be surprised
to know how easy it is to sell the
canned goods. We sold nearly
three hundred dollars worjh this
past winter.
<%*This is a busy life. We have to
attend to the cattle closely evei;y
day in the year. We have a stall
for each cow, yearling and calf ;
they soon learn to stop at the
right place, and all you have to
' do is *" e ''ten them. Thisfclose
attention accounts for our not
havjng lost a calf in three years
or fnore.
"^'his is a pleasant life to live
for one who loves animals. Y'ou
can have the host of vegetables
t-\d fruits to eat, it you'will only
'try to grow them. You can have
the best and purest of milk and
^ butter, with chickens and eggs
~ when you wish them. Our chickens
aredoing fine ; we have about
I eight hundred little ones, from A*
one week old to three months old. ^
1 have to look closely after them ^
and fight the injects all the time ; B
5 neglect at this time would mean R
, a loss of most of them. I

Rev. William A. Kelly I
Well Known Methodist Minister
Recovering Health
After an Operation for |!
Brain Trouble. p
* Charleston Dost: Rev. William S
AiKen Kelly has been discharged V
f from Roper Hospital and is now
'.at home, recuperating from the ^
* I ^ IV- - ? '
^ t-neos oi mi operation on his ?
brain. Mr. Kelly has beon in bad ij
r health for several years, as a ^
} result, it is said, of a clot of 2
( blood pressing on bis brain, and M
, lie recently entered the hospital,
$ where a successful operation was
performed and the blood pros
f sure relieved.
The operation will probably
1 enable Mr. Kelly to renew hi9
1 ministerial duties, which have
been interrupted by his illness,
but beforo this he will have to be
, readmitted to the Methodist con
I ference of the State, as his ere.
(lentials were cancelled at the
i meeting last December. Previous |
I to tho revocation of his creden- g
tials, Mr. Kelly suddenly aban 1
1 doned his ministerial duties, as a 1
' result of his affliction, and de- B
1 parted from the State, and it was I
a Ions time before he was located H
1 1 * "
" ? u^ima. Lie Hlicrwarus spent
some time in Charlotte, N. C.,
. from which place he recently
came to Charleston to undergo
the operation, which will effect,
it is thought, a complete recovI
erv of health.
1 Mr. Kelly's family and close
personal friends have been gen'
erally aware of his residence in
Virginia and North Caroliua,
but it has only been during his
recent illness that his presence
in Charleston and the purpose
( of his visit here became known
generally, this being the tirst
public report of the popular
1 young minister's movements |
which have been chronicled '

Mr. Kelly's many friends
in Charleston and through the
Slate will be glad to learn ot the
improvement of his health and
i the wish will be general and sin
cere that ho will rapidly recup
erate and that he will bo soon
again able to exercise the tunc
tions ot the ministry, which he ^
did with such general satisfaction ^
previous to his atlliction. ^

We are now growing more anxious to close out all |

uur summer goods. lVlany ot our lines are getting thin,
but one of a kind is perhaps all you wish. We try to
give our patrons bargains the year round, reserving, of !
course, profit for ourselves ; but we are now willing to
th row away our profit just to get rid of our summer goods. |
You know our usual prices. Come see what they are now.
If our reductions do not seem as great as in other stores
they claim they make, can it not be that their price was
