W.O. T. ??. DEPARTMENT. Conducted by the ladies of the W. C. T. U. of Anderson? S. C. Down with the liquor traffic and up with the people, should be the motto of every patriot. Playing the Fool. One time an industrious shoemaker feel into the habit of spending much of his time in a saloon near his shop. When his wife would remonstrate with him for it, he would say: "O I've just beeD down q little while playing pool." His two-year-old boy heard him, aud said: "Is you going down to play fool, papa?" Ile tried in vain to correct this word. Day by day he would ask his father, "Has you been playing fool?" It made a deep impression on him, but his mind was so weakened by drink that ho constantly yielded to the temptation. Finally his business was gone, and he found himself out of money, flour, and work. Idle and despondent, he exclaimed: "?o work again to-day: what I am to do, I do not know!" .Why, papa," prattled the baby, . can't you go and play fool some morer . <) hush, you poor child, that is ju-t thc trouble. Papa has played the fool too much already." Intemper ance always makes a mah play the f ol.-Epxcorth News. Young Men, Keep Your Record.!' These were the last words of the eloquent temperance lecturer, John B. (lough, spoken in the Presbyterian Church, Frankford, Po., on the night of February 19, 1886, before he Bank insensible into a chair, from which he was never able to rise. In the course of his lecture he said: "I have seven years in the record of my own life when I was held in the iron grasp of intemp?rance. I would give the world to blot it out; but, alas! I cannot." Then stepping forward, with an im pressive gesture, he added: "Young meo, keep your record-" But he was never able to finish the sentence. Hvidently it would have been: "Young men, keep your record clean." An impressive dying testimony from Mich an eventful life.

Farmers have been eo long accus tomed to pulling fodder that it is dif ficult to stop doing so. Hence we be gin in time this year to call attention to this subject. Fodder has been pull ed to save for dry food for horses. Many think choy must continue to pull for this purpose. They think that without foddev they would not know how to feed. They do not know or If em ember thrta vast majority of horses and mules never saw fodder. T! nt none ever saw it until a few years agc comparatively. The corn from whioh we pull fodder was not known to the i farming world until a recent period. Even now its cultivation is confined to a small area. And a very small part of those who grow oom ever pull fodder. This practice is confined al most entirely to a few Southern States. Horses do as well with hay for roughage as with fodder. There is no usc pulling fodder sim ply to get roughago for horses and mules. There are so many hay grass es that make this kind of food cheaper. There is no ueccssity to pull fodder. Neither is it a saving business. Habit has taught us to believe that we must pull thc fodder to save it. That we would lose something if we did not pull the fodder. This is a mistake for several reasons. In fact it is a loss to pull fodder. . The blades are so necessary to the life of corn that it makes the cars lighter to pull them off for fodder. All growing processes stop at once when the leaves are stripped from the stalks. The grains are never full while the bisdee are green. Fodder is always pulled before the blades are all dead. The loss of weight is always about equal to the weight of the fodder. It . is much. greater when the fodder is pulled a little green as is very often done. Here there is a positive loss in value. The cost of polling and saving the fodder must be added to this loss. Fodder COE ts more than it is worth. First it costs about 75 cents to save a hundred pounds of fodder, and the damage to the corn is about the same; often fully $1. So we see each 100 pounds of fodder costs ab out-?1.50. We see then that a farmer who pulls fodder is actually injuring himself. Throwing away money. But many will say we must have roughage for our stock. What shall we do about it? Well you cannot only stop losing, but you can save money and at the Same time have more rough food. How can we do that? Simply cut down the wholo stalk. Db this about ten days later than- you would pull the fodder and . you will save all the fodder and have full weight corn, "and have a great deal more to feed with. The stalk and the shuck and the sheath of the fodder blades that you do not get,-are all just as good as the fodder. Gut the whole stelk and saut ic so that it will stand firm until it (tries thoroughly. This will take from four to . six?weeks. Then you nun haul it to the barn and stack or shred it. ^ The shredder ia a machine that fears the stalk to pieces and mixes it with the blades and shucks so as.to make an es cello at hay. Experiments have proved that this whole stalk hay is an excellent food. All stock eat it freely and thrive upon it. . The part of the cornstalk below the ear is richer in food value than the top. The hard ca Bing of ! siles, which gives strength to the stalk, is very un pleasant to stock.- It is of teta so sharp as to out the grims: The shredder de stroys this, and the eattle eat it freely io this ground condition.- The shred der will,, at the same time, take off the ear, either shucked or slip shucked. If desired it will shell and sack the corn. ! Nothing is lost, the entire stalk is made into food. Thus you have more thsn double the roughness/ The stalk is worth about thc same as tho ear crop. Why th en "should it be lost? Again, pea vines, oat straw, wheat straw, ana any other bay material may be run through the shredder with the cornstalks or separate. This is a great item of saving to many farmers. Oat and wheat straw are abont as good as fodder for stock. But wheo fed whole or partly cut there is a very large waste, 'f Run through the shred der all is saved. Very many would like tb uso tho shredder; but as they are small farm ers they are not able. What shall they do? One shredder can shred many crops. Several can combine and buy one. Or one wan can shred for a community, for toll or cash, While it is important to let the corn get thoroughly dry before shredding, "hcu il ia dry you can wait any length of time before shredding. We cannot say in one article all that needs to be said about this great improvement in saving tho corn stalk orop. ^ Dp not poll any more fodder.

The Chicago Record tells a good story on De Wolf Hopper or rather gives his version of a street ear inci dent: "I waa 8itttng on ono of the back aeats with the smokers when the wo man got OD," says Mr. Hopper. "She oame in and took the scat right be side me-where she had no business to be, as there were lots of vacant seats forward-but that made no dif ference to her. She was not beauti f il, and she was very severe. I felt ic moment I looked at her that we Mild never be friends. "Now, it happened that I had a very severe cold a J a friendcof minc tiad recommended onion syrup. I don'*, like onions as a general thing, but then I don't like colds, so as I passed a grocery store I bought three or four onions and slipped them into my coat pocket. When that woman began to glare at me I took out one and began to peel and eat it. She didn't say anything, but she was elo quent ju? t the samo. "A part of the prescription for the syiup, was whiskey and, according to instructions, I had bought a small flask of that liquid, and when I got her last long lingering look I went into the pocket again and, taking out the flask, braced myself with a modest sip. Then she opened out on me. "Do you know what I'd do to you if you were my husband?' she asked. " 'No, ma'am,' I said. What would you do to me if I were your husband?' " Td give you poison.' " 'And if you were my wife I'd take it,' said I." ^ Humors of the Clergy. "An Irishman of the full blood can not resist an opportunity for repartee, no matter how solemn the occasion or what his surroundings," said an Eng lish clergyman, a visitor in Washing ton, the other day, when the conver sation turned on the funny experi ences of clergymen, and the humor that creeps into matters connected with the church. "The only time I ever heard a con gregation laugh unrestrainedly during the regular services in a cathedral was back in the.eighties, when I was a resident of dear, dirty Dublin. Un one Sunday morning the Archbishop of Cork preaohed. He was a splendid man, an Irishman to the backbone and possessed of as fine a brogue as ever distinguished a son of Erin. His con gregation was made up of the very es sence of fashion in Dublin, which in those days was one of the greatest social centres in the world. Notori ously, people were living beyond their, means, for the income from the landed estatea of Ireland had taken a big tumble. But that made no difference, and good dressing went as a matter of course, sud was one cf the smallest of the extravagances. The Archbishop preached on the aubjeot of extrava gance, and spoke particularly of over dressing as a prerequisite to attendance at church. His sermon was a bitter arraignment of the sin of debt and the wickedness of setting the heart on fashion and dress. He attacked the over-dressed women and wound up thia partioular reference this way : " 'Now, supposin' everyone of ye every one, man and woman, should stand up in this church: take off the clothes ye have not paid for, just walkin' out with only the things^ on your backs ye have paid for-a pfc ?ty lookin' lot of scare-erows ye'd be.' "There was a pause until the real significance of the suggestion had per colated through the members of his congregation then some one snickered. Every one was picturing to him and herself the real scene that would oeoor should the Archbishop's idea be car ried into effect, while wife looked at husband, and members of each family nudged one another. Tho ludicrous side was irre ais table and the laugh was general.-' ' * - Electricity has been applied to the industry of blowing feathers off the fowls by a Kansas City packer. What next?

A lawyer took in a new boy the other day, and, as he had suffered to some extent from the depredations of the former one, he determined to try the new boy's honesty at once. He therefore placed a $5 note under a weight on his desk and walked out without a word. Upon his return, half an hour later, the note was gone, and half a dollar in .silver had taken its place. "Boy, when I went out I left $5 un der this weight." "Yes, sir; but you hadn't been gone five minutes wr<m a man came in with a bill against you for $4.50. I guess the chango is correct." "You paid the bill?" "Yes, sir. There it is, receipted. Tho man said it had slipped your mind for thc past four years, and so" He did not get any further before ho made a rush for the door.

THIS H the message flashed through the great telescope which we got from Lack Observatory to observe the great eclipse. We knew that, however, several years ago. We originated that brand and advertised it too long ago for the fresh inhabitants of a foreign planet to presume now to claim the hon or of it. This we can prove by the thousands of pleased customers we have made on that brand and held them over all competition throughout the eight years we've been prescribing it as a balm for all the woes weak stomachs are a prey to.
