J is often a wonder to tne "
more farmers do not give I p
Ifc* proper amount of attention
nd work to the farm garden that
a
? aH pay as good returns. Propvly
managed, it is halt the liv- p
and the brst hIf at that. tj
"Yfce trouble i-< the men often r<
> *1 too important and busy for n
ttjUeu work and turn it over to pi
)?e already overworked women b
t> 'Up. They are given the weed- | J1
iini little corner on the farm and 11
r* lucky it they can set the ^
wJ.n to plow it up after they are ^
i+"9 plowing all the rest of the
ifcrm. Of course, it would be a
k-tft'ul waste of money to buy
* xjo good garden tools, tor the
*>rnen to use, and so the same
fcc:v\er that has the very latest
Unig in riding plows and sur- p
Hbce cultivators and all such, will h<
the women make garden d
"Tulh any old worn-out. hoe and n
.like as their grandmothers did d
t*?or? them,

vi?a xdoes have to make the gar- n
?!*a he gets it out in the open, ^
w rood, clean ground, where he ^
Cfm have the vegetables in Ion g
"uws and tend with the riding t
iltivator. This as it. should be, b
wi 3 wish that every farm garden
might be the same way. Take f
?strip of good land out away itt>m
the hedge and the trees, an
a*e> is none too much, and work
:.t up like you would for a brag
r
imp of corn. Get a good garden
icrill and plant the seeds in long,
airtight rows, wide] enough lo ^
mod with the team. The little p
wu 3T that is too small to be tend- c
?ii with the team can bo put in e
? sirip along one side in rows a b
o?t apart and tended with the F
vheel lioe attachments of the
Adrian diill.

(wsr and after that most of the
me you could do it by hand in '
J o
rie old way, and much bet'er.
"V>u will be surprised the way

Random Farm Notes.
Whenever water stands on any
ortion of the farm at any seaan
of the year it indicates that
raining is necessary and that
luch of the land contiguous to
i is wet and cold.
It doesn't pay to do the chores
fter dark in the spring and sumler.
The chores are just as im
ortant and profitable as |any
ther farm work and should be
one in the daylight.
The crop will never grow|with
he manure that stays in the
arn lot. Get it scattered.
There is no reason why the
arnier should not drive justjas
ood a team as the man in the
ity. He must have horses, why
ot have good ones? It costs no
lore to keep a good team than a
oor one.
There are a great many farms
nd fields that can never be culivated
at a profit. These, if
danted with forest trees, such as
hestnuts, oaks, pines and larchs,
will produce a growth of tim>er
which will be a source of
irofit.
Wood ashes make a good ferilizer
when put upon the land
lefore they become bleached,
ine ton of ashes contains 100
tnunds of potash, 40 pounds of
thosphoric acid and 000 pounds
f lime.
You mav run a ton of coal
iirough the fire box of an engine
nd not raise a pound of steam ;
Iho you may run several tons of
eed through your stock and not
et any result. Another man may
;ive half the amount of feed and
ealize twice as much.
One way to get good roads in a
ommunity is for each man to
akean interest in the roads passng
his farm, instead of feeling
hat the state and county work
b a legitimate opportunity for
hirk ing.

Idle Negro Women.
A Menace to White and Disgrace
to Negro Race.
To the Editor ot The State:
In glanciug over the Slate of
2G'h inst. I notice a special from
Florence that tells ot a party of
negro women having bean put
to work on the streets ot that
city 011 a charge ot vagrancy.
The mayor ot Florence has set
an example that every town in
South Carolina might profitably
imitate. In every town in our
State there are numbers <>r negro
women living in idle luxury, a
menace to our country, a curse
to its civilization. Tins beautiful
Palmetto State is stricken with
a moral eancer that i-* e iting its
way into our civilization slowly
unpereoived to blinded eyes, but
surely.
All over our Southland the
cry goes tip for servants. The
Southern woman is compelled to
have help in her domestic life.
Unlike her Northern sister, she
has not the bracing, exhilarating
climate to give her energy and
strength for Iter complex duties.
There is a scarcity of horaa servants
tliat is distressing, and
trained, competent help is almost
unknown. Why this state
of affairs? The answer conies
that thousands of negro women
find it unnecessary to work lor
their support. Through lives of
moral degradation they eat. the
bread ol idleness and array
themselves in fine attire.
From many optomistic students
ol the race question you hear
that the negro is growing in mind
and morals daily, but no race
can rise higher than its women.
They set the standard of morals.
Without hesitation we can say
that the negro women are losing
in morals, that tliey have less regard
tor virtue than ever before
in the history of their lives in
the South.
They have small regard for
tlw? mnrrinrrM fin It ! * ?a

become unknown to them and
hus small significance when used.
The old fashioned slavery-time
household with its "mammy M
and '4daddy,? is almost confined
untirely to the ruial districts.
Shali this sta'e of alViirs exist
among us and he tolerated 111
silence? When the negro he
Icomes honest, industrious and
uprizh1 in his f unily lite, then
' will lie be a ei'iz *n wortliy of hiplace
iii this Sent bland that must
ever stand lor tlie Highest lorni
ot civilization.
When he is an idle vagabond,
living on Ins', then is he a menace
to government at d a blot on
civilization. He should he taken
'in hand bv the law and made to
work tor his living or asked to
give his room to a better citi
