The highest tempera ture for the week was 94 degress ot Sumter on August 3rd, arid the lowest was 62 degrees'at Greenville on Au gust 2nd? the temperature conditions wei? wholly favorable. Frequent showers occurred during .he week over the entire State, and i number of places reported, rain on 'nyery day. Many places in the nor thern, western, southwestern and east ern counties had excessive rainfall, with a maximum fliuolihl of 5.13 inches at BalMbttrg. The week's rainfall wa? below normal in thc cast central counties, but the average amount for the S?hre State was above iiormah All parts of the State have ample moisture and many localities have too niuch.

Gunter, near batesburg, and that Monday a white man. giving his name as Dr. Statibs, came to his house and proposed lo hire the negro and hi* leam lb drive him throhgh the etittulry selling paten: medicine?, The negro accepted the preposition and they started ont. Af ter driving nearly all day, the doc tor asked Harris if he did not feel tired. Thu old negro replied that he j was somewhat tired mid the doctor told him be would give ltira some thing to relievo his fatigue. He gave the negro a dose of something out of a bottle. Harris said that soon af1 ter taking the stuff he became sick and the next thing he knew he was in the ditch next morning, half dead and his horse and buggy uone. The old negro was cared for by Mr. San ders, near whose house he was found, aud after being revived was brought to Aiken, where he told his story to thc sheriff. Harris is in a critical condition yet from thc effects of tho dose administered lo him by the al leged Ur. Sranbs.

It has been demonstrated on half a Bcore of experiment stations, on as j many more model farms maintained by Western railroads, and on hun dreds of private farms, that all that lr necessary dn the plains and In the lnter-mountaln parks and valleys ls | Intelligently to make the most Of the rains and snows that fall in order to grow as. good crops as can be raised anywhere. In other words, farming methods must be adapted to natural conditions. This seems 60 simple and self-evident "that the'only wonder is that men have been so very slow In finding lt out. It ought hot to be hard to believe that lands that pw duce the rich buffalo and grama grasses of the plains without culti vation, can be made to produce crops still more valuable with cultivation adapted to the soil and climate. Carry ing the same argument a little fur1 ther, th?r? are many who believe that wherever sage-brush, cactus-plants, yucca, Spanish bayonet, and grease wood will grow, plants of economic value may be made to grow, also. From John L? Cowan's "Dry Farm ing-the Hope of the West*' la the Century; The advocates of Government 'Own ership of railroads have been deriv ing much aid and comfort from the corporate practices revealed by the Interstate Commerce Commission's investigation into the relations be tween some of the great coal-carrying systems and the "mining companies they serve; The principal argument for private enterprise; says Collier's Weekly, h?d been that public- op?ra tion meart politics, and politics meant corruption. It had been said that pub lic officials would have their hands out for tips, as smoke inspectors and meat inspectors are supposed to do, while the servants of corporations would always act 00 business princi ples. The disclosures of the past few weeks have shown a state of things in the Pennsylvania Railroad that has uever been matched lu any public de partment in the entire history of tho Government.

What you eat does harm if you can't digest it-lt turns to poi son. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light ! breakfast of eggs and toast. She i says: "Two years ago I contracted a j very annoying form of indigestion, i My stomach was in such condition that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me.great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course, and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet. "I have been a teacher for several ! years and find that roy easily digest- ! cd breakfast means a saving of ner- j vous force for the eut' e day. My ; gain of ten pounds in' weight also i causes me to want to testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. "Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name given by Postum Co., Battle ? Creek, Mich.

Take one end in each hand walking ahead of the horse while the driver starts him. This will cause the horse to jump with one leg on the ground, or take a step, and when he does this he will forget to stop again, and If the rope is dropped he will likely walk over it .without further trouble. If treated this way a few times he will get so he will start at sight of rope and it won't be neces sary to use it In case he balks. To Keep Flies Off Stock. In the midst of the fly season own ers of live stock will he interested in the method successfully pursued by Dr. Peters, veterinarian at thc Ne braska Experiment station for com bating the pest. He took an ordinary oil barrel and put into it a wooden spigot, using the barrel as a storage tank. Two and a half gallons of zenoleum, with five gallons of cotton seed oil, were placed in the barrel .and enough water added to fill it. As required, the mixture thus formed was drawn from the barrel and sprayed upon cattle and horses, or applied .with a sponge or cloth as oc casion demanded. The control of the flies was not only quite perfect, but it had one marked advantage not pos sessed by most other mixtures for the purpose in that the solution waa not greasy and stickjr, but left the coat bf the animal in fi?e condition. The mixture has the further advan tage of being a very economical on,e a barrel of it being compounded at a very small cost. ?u?cessiVd Cropfl of Corri. The modern methods of agriculture teach that a rotation Of crops is essen tial fof the best resdits and especially is it necessary in order to keep up soil fertility. A correspondent asks the Indianapolis News, "How can you recommend the rotation of crops so strongly when experiment stations grow corn year after year on the same field?'' Our reader evidently refers to the work of the New Jersey experiment station, but either forgets io refer to their ineth?ds or else is not familial' with them. On this fa mous farm the soil is kept in the highest state of fertility by proper methods, and while it is true that corn follows corri; it is only because clover is grown as well, the plan be ing to sow crhhsoii clover at the last cultivation of the corn, which is used as green forage in the spring and the corn stubble is plowed under, and the same method agaiii followed. If it were not for the high fertility of this soil and tho growing Of the crimson clover each ye?rj it would not be possible to follow corn with corn year after year with profit. Look Well to the Poultry. Whether thc young birds are being raised to lay eggs later or for the carcass market, they need good care during the summer. It is not enough that they bc turned onto thc range; they must l'? carefully fed? sid that they make thc proper growth; -This is especially necessary with thc stock that is being raised for laying pur poses. Thc range is essential, but no amount of grass will furnish all the food thc growing chickens need. Let them have a liberal feed of grain in thc morning before they are let out of tbc house and another at night wheh they come h?rne to roost. This will be all they heed If they have ft good range except an abundance of fresh clean Water and shade while on the range. If one hi:-, a large num ber of fowls, great care must be tak en not only to have the poultry hous es sweet and clean, b\it any portion of the grounds where they Congregate in any number ought also to be kept clean, which is best done by spading tip tho ground after scattering lime over it. Do this several times dur ing the summer, and there will bc lit tle danger of disease In the flocks. Morning Glory Vines. Herc ii a description of a way of training the morning glory when grown for the purpose of screening doors and windows. Whoever gives it a trial this season will not neglect io use it when another season comes. Nail four pieces of lath, or any light strips of wood, in a square large enough across the top of the door or wiudow you propose to shade. Then nail two strips across from corner to corner, io stiffen this frame and keep it from getting out of shape, as il easily would do if not braced as ad vised. Fasten this to the top of the dcor or windor.- frame, letting it slant down at ar angle that will give the amount of shade needed, with stout ttrips reaching from the outside cor ners to the ground below, to pro vide substantial support, in case a door is being treated, or to tho sill, if a window is to be screened, ptretch p.tcut strings from the ground whore thc plants are growing to the frame work at top of dom- or window. Tho vines will soon cover strings and frames with luxuriant growth, and by thc middle of July you will havo a floral awning that will be "a thing of beauty" for months and a "joy as long as it lasts." Hired Help. The old system of boarding tfic hired help ls in less favor than former ly, owing in part to the undesirable average quality of modern hired help. With the advance in wages in other employments it has become difficult to hire men fit to be boarded and housed with the family. In the East-' ern States thc plan is gaining ground of Ii iring gangs of foreigners, who are housed In shanties, and who do their own cooking and housekeeping. Farm ers who do not employ enough labor lc usc this plan arc in many cases put tins n? cheap tenement houses or buy ing abandoned houses in the neighbor hood in which they can piaee a hired man and his family. A much beitt-r class of help can be obtained by this plan than by almost any ether. The undesirable quality of the average hired man is a very serious consider ation in the employment of farm help. The manufacturer does not take his hired, man into his home or bring him into contact with his family, but the farmer is obliged tc do so to some ex teni by any plan. It is worth while, to pay a little more and get a man whose intelligence and morals make his influence and presence satisfactory in the farm family.-American Cultivator. Farm Dairies. I believe In order to have best re sults in dairying, three things are es sential-good cows, good pastures and pure water. The successful dairyman must have the right kind of cows, those that will turn their food in the direction of producing a large supply of rich milk. In order to do this, of course, the dairy cow must be. sup plied with the right kind of food. The dairyman who expects to make a good profit from his business should strive to grow plenty of feeding Btuffs for his cows, especially roughage upon his farm, as good roughage is so much more cheaply produced than grain the farmer will easily see the wisdom of furnishing a liberal supply of it. Our farm pastures are always poor during late summer and early fall and the milk supply as a rule falls off greatly. Hence it is important that special crops should be put in to supply the dairy cows with plenty of sweet, suc culent, rough feed at this season of the year. Oats and barley sown to gether, equal parts, will furnish a. large amount of pasture ' until killed by frost. Give the cows plenty of balanced feed and then you may be sure of a good article of butter, io make a success of dairying lise a cream sepa rater and feed the milk while warm to the pigs. Sell you butter, if possible, to pri vate customers, who are willing to pay a good price for a first class arti cle. Of course the best way to dis pose of dairy products depends to a great extent on where you are lo cated and upon many other circum stances.-M. A. M., for the Indiana Farmer. i Mistakes in Spraying. Each orchard is a local problem of itself, and in order to get the best re sults each must solve his own prob* lem. Ko man will take as much in* tere?t in an orchard as its owner should; therefore, each man should consider lils orchard an individual local problem. An orchard has great possibilities if properly protected and cared for. It is under your care and you are responsible for its produc tiveness. Many sprayers make some of the following mistakes after plan ning that they will spray so many times at certain periods: First-They are not ready on time. Second*-They do not mix the Bor deaux properly. Third-They do not spray thorough ly. Fourth-They delay these sprayings, especially the first and second; on account of the ground being wet Of because it is showery. Of course no one can spray while lt is actually raining, but there is no excuse for not spraying between show ers when it is a question of doing it then or riot getting in your spray at thc proper time. Many actually lose their crop, s? far as quality is concern ed, by Omitting the spray just after th? bloom drops, because they say the ground was too soft. Now, so far as" litis soft ground is concerned, three fourths or more who do neglect this spraying period for that reason, could save this by looking ahead. For in stance, try boxing your wagon wheels, making them from three to four inches wider, You will be surprised to find what heavy loads can be hauled over soft ground when you use broad tired wagons. If your wagons have broad enough tires you can haul a tank full of spray material over any soft ground on which tl?e team will not mire down. -From paper read before thc illi nois Southern Horticultural Society by ft. A. Simpson, Vincennes, Ind. Farm and Garden Notes. Teach the colt to draw loads by degrees. Wearing shoes too long injures the horses' feet. The chief point in colt education is to treat them kindly. Balky horses are often made by overloading the colls. . A good feed tor ducklings la made by mixing cornmeal and bran, equal parts, into a mush with milk. Every poultry keeper should have trap nests, as they will help him pick out the hens that are working. A little phosphate sprinkled around cucumber, squash, or melon vines will effectually keep the bugs away. To prevent colds and roup put eight or ten drops of tincture of aconite to each gallon of drinking water twice a week. One of the reasons and probably the main reason hens steal their nests out is because (he nests in the poultry house are not kept clean and comfort able,. If we want to give the foal the best possible chance, the mare should not be worked during the nursing season, but many good foals are reared while their dams are working every day. Before placing eggs In the nest lt is a good thing to sprinkle" insect powder, sulphur or tobacco dust in it, as this will keep away the lice and thc young chicks will be free to start on. The great demand for high class horses should not tempt the man who is satisfied with scrub stallions to go into horse-breeding. Thc demand and high pricer are only for horses of first class breeding. Carefully protect that nice thrifty wood lol. Keep thc live stock out of it and cut only such trees as are ma ture, except where it is desirable io thin them out. Make it one of the beauty rpots of the farm. In a ac where thc foal has to be ted on cov.'s milk owing to thc death of dan., or other causes, it should be re duced one-third with water and a lit tle sugar added, and the foal should be led every two hours for the first two weeks. A good horse is the most sensitive of a p'maJs, and feels an offense to his pride far more keenly than mere phys ical cruelty. Women have naturally greater tact and delicacy in dealing with them than even the most, hu mane and considerate of m?n posses* .... Ai? Old Painter's Ideas. The Autumn oeason ls coming more and more to be recognized as a moat suitable time for house-paint ing. There is no frost deep In the wood to make trouble for even the best job of painting, and the general season ing of the Summer has put the wood into good condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more like ly to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry-? very important precaution. " An olti.?nd successful painter mid td the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take more time, es pecially, between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,' several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It is inconvenient, of course, but, if one would suffer this slight -Inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint. "All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be had-the purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil, un mixed with any cheapener. If the cheap mixtures, often known as 'White Lead* and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil, or other of the adulterants known to the trade, are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly In a year or so and, therefore, make painting bills too frequent and costly. "The house oWner should have his painter bring the ingredients to the premises separately-white lead of some well-known, reliable brand and linseed oil of equal quality - and. mix the paint just before applying it."
