The Value of the Soul. jj ' The soul! How shall we estimate the value of it? Well, by its exqui site organization. It is the most won derful piece of mechanism ever put together. Machinery is of value in proportion as it is mighty and -silent .rat the same time: I was talking the other day with a man who runs the machinery in the Philadelphia mint. Said he, "If you could see it perform ing its wonderful work, you would've surprised to find how silently it goes. Machinery that roars and tears soon destroys itself, but silent machinery is often the most effective,"' said he. So it is with the spul of man, with all ' its tremendous faculties;'it moves in silence. Judgment, without any rack - et, lifting its scailes; memory without . any noise, bringing down all its treas ures; conscience taking ks judgment seat without any excitement; tte ?understanding and the will all doing their work. Velocity, majesty, might: but al! is silent \ You listen 'at the door of your heart, you can hear no sound. The soul is all quiet It is so I delicate an instrument'that no human hand, can touch it. You can break a bone, and with splints and. bandages the surgeon sets it; the eye becomes inflamed and the apothecary's wash cools rt But when a soul is off the track, unbalanced; no human pow?r can readjust it With one sweep of its wing it circles the universe, and over vaults the throne of God. Why, .in the hour of death the soul . is so mighty it throws aside the body as if it were a toy. It drives back medical skill as impotent It breaks through the circle of loved ones who stand around the .dying couch. With one leap, it springs beyond star, moon, sun, and chasms of immensity. A soul is superior to all material things. No firos can consume it; no floods can drown it; no rocks can \ crush.1 it. It wants no plummet with which to sound depth. A soul, so mighty, so swift so silent, must be a priceless soul. out of friendanips, out of books and clouds, out of the sea, out of flowers, out of ten thousand things. The soul speaks to God and says: "0 Father, where art Thou?*' and out of every flower, tree and blade of grass, sil ver pool and twined thicket, a voice will .come: "God is in me." The dew brings jewels to the soul; the winds bring perfume; the forest sings and i the air is all sweetness, as if the an gels of Ged bad gone through, bear ing spices homeward. The storms are but as flocks of ; mighty birds which spread their wings and sing in the high heaven. These nra blessings which the soul of "man1 is capable of enjoying down here in this world. Yes, the soul of man is capable of 'loving, and enjoying everything that lives in the great book of nature. Every dew drop that twinkles to the morning sun, and every flower that blossoms in the copse,' although it lives unseen a'hd wastes its sweetness in the forest air, in every bird that warbles on the spray, in every lamb that skips in the meadow. But so many of us look -upon these things as a matter of course, not realizing the fact that% God gave them, for the soul to admire and enjoy while* pass ing on to the greit beyond. J. RUSSELL, WRIGHT. St. Augustine, Fla. How much joy it gets in this world \ v Rotating Crops. There are so many advantages in practicing crop rotation that it is strange that all farmers do not prac tice it. It is a fact that most farmers follow corn with another crop, and oats perhaps with another,' but when it comes to cotton they have not land enough for other crops and henel must, they think, plant cotton after' cotton to keep from cutting down ^the money crop. Be that as it may, one cami ot afford to plant cotton af ter'cotton nor any other crop on the same land twp years in succession, unless such a crop as rice, where le vees are built and irrigation is im perative and which make the'land unsuited to any other crop. Even then a change of crop or a fallow will be necessary sooner or later. Plans ought to be made for a defi nite rotation with a view of main taining the fertility, so far as impos sible. And three or four-year rota tions are much better than two-year rotations. And when it is possible and feasible to devote a portion of the farm to meadow or pasture, or both, it will be much easier to maintain or improve the fertility than when all of the land is tilled in row crops or small grain. ?Where livestock raising is ax fea ture of farming it is much easier to arrange suitable rotations than when crops only are depended upon. The' animals must have feed and pasture and th? farmer's family must have foods. With these obligations resting upon the manager of the farm he. must grow several kinds of crops, some of which are easy to put in j definite rotations.-Farm and Ranch. ! The Great Ship Leviathan. l?he New York Times does not think it would' be just they thing to carry out the suggestion to-change the. name of the Leviathan to the Warren G. Harding. That paper says: "President Harding may well think twice before | permitting Chairman Lasker to rechristen the Leviathan in his honor. It is a name closely en twined with our brightest memories of thevwar. Almost one hundred thou sand of our; soldiers crossed in this queen of .transports. An 'equal num ber returned in her when the victory was won. To them, and to those dear to them throughout the nation, "Le viathan" is a household word. To our allies it is no less familiar. When the great ship set forth on her first voy age as a transport, Western -Europe was face to face with defeat. With each trip, when the pressure was se verest, she landed at Brest almost t'en thousand of our hqys to take the places of the overtaxed allied sol diers. For France the ,long journey back from a nightmare of terror to hope,, confidence and triumph was marked as with milestones by the landings of the Leviathan. "Befqre the Germans quit the Va terland, then interned at Hoboken, they exhausted their skill in damag ing her, as they thought, beyond re pair. Our engineers took, her in hand, and thanks to Yankee ingenuity, had her out on her trial trip'before the nations were aware that her restora tion was possible; In the world df marine engineering the name Levia than stands for a triumph. The task of refitting her was accomplished with similar ingenuity and skill. As a unit in the German auxiliary service the Vaterland's capacity was rated at 8, 000, the bunks being occupied contin uously in eight-hour shifts. On sevr eral trips the Leviathan carried al most 2,000 more than this. She cross ed with convoy, and in her repeated trips' to Liverpool and to Brest es caped misfortune. . In her handling the maritime genius of our peojple was manifest'. "It is doubtless true, as the Demo cratic members of the Shipping Board said very handsomely1 that President Harding 'has done more than any other one man' to build up the American merchant marine. No ship is too large or too splendid ma terially to be named the Warren G. ^arding. But, aside from the merely commercial advantage in preserving the old name, there is a historic, a patriotic, Value in "Leviathan", which , the country will deeply regret when it knows what it has lost."-Augus ta Chronicle. Pointers on Pork Production. Clemson College, April 24.-At the recent meeting of the South Caro lina Livestock .Association, Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal Hus bandry Division of Clemson College, discussed "Pork Production,", and the following are some of the points emphasized by him: li The most outstanding present need of South Carolina livestock men is good ?ences. | < 2. Forage crops are absolutely necessary for economical pork pro duction. If our forage crops are tak en away, we have no chance to com pete with the corn belt men. 3. Shade and fresh water are in dispensable for . hog raising ^in this state. \ 4. It is very important to select the right sort of foundation stuff; by proper selection in the beginning a breeder may accdmplish more than he can in 10 years' work trying to build up an inferior foundation herd. 5. Herds should be kept free from lice, barns free from dusf, and every where free from stagnant 'hog wal lows. 6. Sows that are fed well about ten days before breeding will pro duce larger litters than if scantily fed at this time. 7. Profits are. closely related to the number of pigs which each sow rais es. It is highly importarit to raise a large per-cent ?f ^he pigs which are farrowed. While it . is true, that generally speaking we can do with a small amount of shelter, in the long run we must prepare, for the worst, 'be cause our hogsfc can not endure the cold , spring rains without shelter and good bedding. \ 9. The "soft pork" problem is yet unsolved. At the present time South Carolina hogs are selling "hard" and it is highly important that we keep them selling "hard." For this reason we should not be too enthusiastic over peanuts as a hog feed-at least, not until we have gotten some data to prove that peanuts will make pork cheaper than corn. 10. We must get our livestock to market at lower transportation cost. A load of cattle sold recently by Clemson College cost 58 cents per hundred'freight[to Baltimore, while the rate from Chicago to Baltimore is 54 cents for the much greater dis tanc?. Eureka News.
