- The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 27,1902. Thoughts for Farmers. ' Carolina Spartan. Between 1830 and 1840 the people of the Soath became much interested in the culture of silk. Visitors to Limestone Springs about 1845 might have seen the ragged remnant of a mulberry orchard, which good, honest, visionary Reuben Perry planted out. Where he secured bis plants we never learned. The trees flourished, or would have done so had they received proper attention. Cocoons were imP" ported, but no silk was ever produced. It was then, supposed to be work adapted to wcmeD, and they could do that in connection with their household work. Again interest is revived in silk culture.' It would be well if rS . men and women of means and leis' ure would undertake it. It can never be made profitable in this State on account of the price of our cheapest labor. " ~ \' Twenty-five years ago celery was unknown by the average housekeeper. It W8B used as a flavoring for soups. It is now getting to be a desirable table IUXU17. The greater portion used in this State is imported from the Northwest in the fall and from Florida in the spring. The Kalamazoo celery is tolorably good when fresh. The Florida article is poor. Celery may be raised in this State and the quality is much better than even the best quality that is shipped from the West. It requires a little care and patience to start the plants. When about three inches high transplant them to a new bed, giving each plant 4 to 6 inches square of space. When well rooted and stocky transplant to the rows. These should be three to four feet wide and the plants 6 to 8 inches apart. With a shovel or plow throw up a ridge ahd manure and subsoil the trenches between ridges. Keep weeds and grass down. The blanching process akAril/1 kanin nf fAnr mool'O kfl. CUUU1U wgiu bul UU V/a. awua Tivvnw mv for? you wish to use it. The better and quicker way is to pull the dirt in from the ridges, taking care not to bruise the plants. The beef trust has the right of y way. Injunctions, legislation, political harangues and condemnatory resolutions are not going to break it The people can break it. This can be done by raising cattle and hogs and selling to the trust. They can also live on much less meat than they use. A fine milch cow is worth a thousand pounds i of beef a year to a family. The vegetable garden should be made larger. The sorghum crop will take the place of meat Tbe family that has a barrel nr twn r?f Jhin nvrnn r>n hand is sot going to suffer much if meat is scarce. Jjet more attention be given to raising fowls. If the people would reduce their meat consumption half the trust would fall to pieces. W6 would emphasize the statement that sorghum syrup is the best and cheapest syrup for the upper part of the State. In the lower counties they can make ribbon cane syrup, which is better. But sorghum is far superior to the glucose compounds and white drips on the market. Some farmers are afraid of straining their land. After cutting wheat they do not like to plant corn on the same ground for a late crop. But if they will run cff their land in five foot rows and plant an early variety of corn with four to six peas between each hill they will make a fair corn crop, and the peavines, if left on the land, will be worth five times as much to the land as if it had been allowed to grow up in grass and weeds. We would eliminate crab grass from the fields if possible. It makes a very fair hay if cut just as it begins to head. But stubble land allowed to grow up in this grass and then mowed is in poor shape for the next crop. If it is not mowed it is a poor soil renovator. If not turned under in the fall it is always in the way when spring plowing begins. By clean cultivation and sowing peas, get rid of crab grass and you will never regret it. Forgot to Explain. A local Episcopal congregation takes a great interest in a day nursery lor babies that is run as a part of the organized charity of the Church. Mothers going out to work or having other reasons for intrusting children to the care of the nursery for the day receive a numbered brass check, corresponding to a tag hung on each baby. The nursery, located in a workiDgfolks neighborhood, is very popular with all classes and denominations, the charge being merely nominal. At a recent Wednesday evening service in the church, the pastor told the congregation that the day before a strange woman had left her baby, returned in the afternoon, asked for her child, and was refused because she had lost the check. The matron in charge would take no chances, hut told the woman to come around later, when, if there were an unclaimed baby remaining, ehe could have it. The woman called just at closing time, and was told the only baby left was a negro. Here the pastor was interrupted with exclamations of "Ob!" "What a Bhame!" "Dreadful!" "Poor woman!" etc., from the feminine members of bis congregation. "I forgot to explain," he went on, after a moment, "that the mother, too, was black." How's This. We offer One Hundred Dollars "? ?

The Emperor William of Germany on June 19 delivered a speech, at A 1^ rik/*w\rvll i** mUink V\r\ A-iU-v^Liapcn, iiuooiD) iu nuivu ud gave utterance to the sentiment that "man without religion is lost," and spoke of the necessity of religion to the welfare and upbuilding of the empire. After speaking of how much his people owed to religion he said in conclusion: "This justifies me in saying that our two great creeds must, while living side by side, keep in view their one great aim?to upbuild and strengthen the fear of God and reverence for religion. Whether we are modern or whether we labor in this or that field it does not matter at all. He who does not found his life on religion is a lost man. I rejoice that I have placed my whole empire, my people and my army, as well aB myself and my bouse beneath the cross and under the protection of Him who said: -Heaven and earth shall pass 3 ^U~1I 1. away, uu.ii mj wuiu busu uub paeo away."' To 2?y Friends. It is with joy I tell you what Kodol did for me. I was troubled with my stomach for Beveral months. Upon being advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words cannot tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it.?George W. Frye, Viola, Iowa. Health and strength, of mind and body, depend on the stomach, and normal activity of the digestive organs. Kodol, the great reconstructive tonic, cures all stomach and bowel troubles, indigestion, dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good food you eat. Take a dose after meals. J. E. Kaufmann.

Hold on, Mr. Editor, that i3 not all! They went out last Saturday night and jumped what they thought was a fox. The dogs took the traii and the chase was short and hot, and Sir Reynard (?) was forced to take cover in the barn of Mr. Simon Miller but when about to be captured it was found that the fox had turned to be a cat. I have just been informed that Mr. Simon Hite has a very sick daughter! A few dayB ago a second hand cobbler tried to extract a tooth and she received such injuries that it is feared lockjaw will result.
