Woman Culls It No Plato for-White Women "One of the most discussed ques tions of the day is whether South Africa is or ever will he a white man's country. Whether lt will ever be a white woman's country can lib mitch more easily settled," says a writer in Tho Queen, "for after a jfflvo years' residence on the sub continent I nm convinced that it Ts an unsuitable place for white wo ineu, especially for those of Eu ropean birth and education. "lt is true that white women .YO always, since the days of Ita st settlement, lived in South Af : rica, and they will no doubt con tinue to do so, hut women have never been behind-hand In bearing their share, no Inconsiderable one, of the whlto man's burden. Time would fail me to tell of tho hard ships and perils endured with cheer , fulness and courage by the wives and daughters of tho early settlers In South Africa, but tho lot of their successors of today, as judged by their standards, is by no means a hard one. "Most of the towns uro extreme ly up to date, and their equipment In such matters as water supply, lighting, tramway services, etc., will Tr- cora pa re most favorably with towns of equal or grenier size at home. Electric light is the rulo In all places of any importance, and elec tricity is being increasingly adapt ed to domestic Usqs. Civ Id eation has indeed done its' best to ameliorate the lot of tho South Af Jlcan housewife, but the most se ^ipus disability to which the white woman in that country,is liable is one against which civilization it self is powerless. I refer of course to climatic conditions. "There are, no doubt, many va rieties of climate in South Africa, but it ls a curious fact that nono of these appear to be suited to Hie European constitution. It. is possi ble that Cape Town itself may prove an exception to the rule, though 1 understand that lt is ravaged at cer tain seasons by violent windstorms which are far from salubrious; but of the Transvaal anc. Natal ? can speak from my own personal expe rience. "Nerves nj?kanipant In Xatal as well as iudHWtWenesliu ru, and 1 have hvard one of tho most sweet tempered women of my acquaint ^tilctj iiunent, and with I reason, over 'tho fact that she found it well nigh impossible to control Iho'consequent irritability which is one of the greatest temptations that beset those Christians the way of whose pil grimage leads through tho paths of South Africa." ~"_ .

"Do ^ou think you can do lt while I am .^d gone out for an hour orso?" * "Yis, sorr," said Pat, "and glad of the job." While the shopkeeper was gone, Pat set to work with a will and completed the job with a vengeance. "Pat," said 'ne shopkeeper on his return, after glancing nt the cleaner's work approvingly, "you've done the job well. Why, there Isn't a speck to be seen on the window pane. Here's you money and a quarter extra." "I'm glad yer satisfied with it," said Pat, nervously pocketing thc money. "Of course, I am.

One of tho most important indus trien at present hoing developed |n the Stnte is the extensive feeding of hoef cattle on tho largo cotton plan tations. Th,> object in feeding these cattle is to j-3curo fertiliser for the farm at a minimum cost and to per manently increase the fertility of tue soil and improve its physical condi tions, which cannot bo done without commercial fertilizers. At tho same time these cattle furnish a profitable market for cheap rough forage which otherwise would have little value. By exchanging cotton seed for meal-to be fed-and selling only tho lint and oil, which contain no fertility, the fanner is enabled to return to the sqil all the fertility taken from it and thus maintain its fertility and productiveness. On vis iting the farmers who are feeding cattle this winter wo lind that with many of thom this ls an entirely new industry, and that souse serious mis takes have been made. The cattle were nearly all bought in Tennesse and North Carolina, the buyers, in many cases, taking the weights of Ute dealers without seeing the caC'e weighed, and Iii many cases the cattle were weighed full of water and feed, and as a con sequence suffered an excessively heavy shrinkage in weight In transit, The prevention of this unnecessary loss would in many instances have meant a fair profit In feeding. In buying cattle that have not been driven a long distance it is custom ary to weigh them after having beer kept in a dry lot without feed 01 water for twelve hours, or deduct three per cent, from the weights Many farmers contracted for cattk of definite weights without sufficient regard for quality or condition ant obtained animals of poor breeding and undesirable conformation am too thin to finish in tho time thej desire to feed them. While lt is de strahle to buy heavy cattle whei feeding cotton seed meal, quality am condition are of more importance, ai they are the chief factors iii deter mining the price of fat cattle. Cat tie for feeding should be of the broa< smooth-backed, blocky typo am carry sufficient (lesli to finish well 01 cotton seod meal in about one hun (Ired days, making a gain of abou two pounds per day. The writer also noticed that man; farmers had . purchased discolorei and damaged cotton seed meal, mad largely from heated seed. This mea ls totally unfit for feeding purpose and is likely to cause serious injur, to the cattle and loss to the owner lt is most nntortunato that som manufacturers are selling damage* meal for feeding purposes, as it i not only a violation of the State pur food law, but is one of the sures ways of destroying an industry tba they should be as much interested a the farmers in developing. In many Instances farmers ar housing the cattle in stables that ar too small and poorly ventilated. Th ideal way of handling cattle In th sandy land sections of the State i to feed outside in the fields wher tho fertilizer is required, fencing (iv to ten acres at a time and movlh the feed troughs frequently. Any buildings provided for bec cattle in this State should be mere! to keep them dry and not to kee them warm. Each steer will requir about thirty-five square foot, of spac In the stable and two feet of troug room. lt is Important that the stables I kept well bedded with straw, cor stover or other roughage ut all timi to make the cattle comfortable an absorb tho urine,which contains pra< tically all of the nitrogen excrete* and is the most valuable part of tl: fertilizer. Cattle that aro kept i filthy stables or yards whero the cannot rest comfortably will not. ii crease in flesh and do well, no matte how well they aro fed. Some farmers have made tho mi: take of feeding too much cotton sec meal at the beginning and gottln their cattle off feed. It ls never a* vlsablo to start feeding more tha one-half pound of cotton seed mdt per bundled pounds live weight, an gradually increase one pound of mei avery throe or four weeks when ca tlo are to he finished in ono bund rc lays, lt is advisable to keep piont sf salt and water before the cattl it all times, and to feed only big S rade, fresh, bright meal. The farmers who are feeding cor dlage and stover instead of hull ire getting very satisfactory resull md many have arranged to hull dios next year. At present prices iosts practically as much money fe mils ns for meal, and whllo cotto iced mool ls aa valuable for a fert Izer as for food, it is also as val?t >lo for a fertilizer aftor being fed f icfore. So that the farmer who bli? neal for a fertilizer Is getting h oed for nothing, whllo hulls aro ( 'ory little value for either feed e A COTTON EDUCATION. South Carolina ?Irl Poid HIT Way Throng.* College. (Nashville TonnoBsoean.) Not only the boya, but tho girls as well, play an Important part In tho farming Industry, ns shown by a girl th South Carolina, who, desiring to pay her own way at college, cultivat ed an acre In cotton, and succeeded in doing what she desired to do. The story is related in her own words as follows: "I have always bad a desire to get a college education, but 1 wanted to earn the money to meet my expenses. 1 thought over the subject and de cided to plant one acre of cotton. I asked papa what ho thought about it, nnd when ho said, 'Good for you,' I felt very much encouraged. I had a horse of my own. I hlrod tho plow ing done, and gave papa the seed each year for the fertilizer and rent. "In April, 1908, I planted my ilrst nero of cotton, lt Is needless to say J watched it very carefully when lt began to come up\ I chopped it out myself, two feet In tho drill. It look ed very small for a long time, and 1 began lo lose hope, although 1 did not say anything about it. One day papa came In and said, 'Minnie, dor you know you aro going lo make more on your acre of cotton than I will on the one next to it?' This was I very encouraging. By and by lt be gan to grow fast and bloom. Imag ine my delight when I found 1 had the first cotton blossoms on the farm. 1 Dy thc last of August my cotton was as high as my head and lapped In rows four feet wide. J knew I was going to get 'rich at once.' "In September and' October 1 had lt picked and found to my delight 1 had made one and one-half bales. 1 thought 1 was the wealthiest girl in Lexington county, to have a bale and a half of my very own cotton. Cot ton was low that fall. I decided to hold lt until I got la cents, which 1 did next Ju Ay. 1 deposited my money in the banu at 4 per cent interest. Each year since 1 have planted just ono aero of cotton and have always made a halo each year. This year father says I shall get nlmost two bales. I think 1 am a real farmer. "I have paid my expenses two ses sions in Hie high school, and had money left over each oyar. When I left home I went to check my money ont of the bank to make my first payment of college dues, and found I* had $75.98. This necessitated my borrowing two cents from pap?. I feel sure I shall make enough on my cotton patch this year to meet my second term payment, ann nay parti if not all, of my duos for another session. Estimating that the cotton this year will bring me $1 10, I will have made $293 In three years, clear of expenses. This ls only one instance of what may be done on an acre of land." Talco Care ! Remember that when your kidneys are affected, your life is in danger. M. Mayer, Rochester, N. Y., says: "My troublo started with a sharp shooting pain over my back which grew worse daily. I felt sluggish and tired, my kidney action was Ir regular and Infrequent. I started using Foley Kidney Pills. Each dose seemed to put new lifo and strength into mo, and now I am com pletely cured and feel better and stronger than for years." Barton's Pharmacy, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca.
