We now have on hand some very choice mules and horses, and I will leave for the West again this week and we will have something that will please you. You may be assured of proper and courteous treatment when you give us a call.

GOOD HARD SENSE LETTER FROM AN EDITOR: TO ALL THE FARMER BOYS. He Tells Them Why They Should Remain on the Farm and Become Independent. The editor of the Progressive Farmer, in a letter to the farmer boys, says no man ever makes a big success in anything by accident If somebody has stuffed your head with the idea that men succeed in this world by luck, you may just put it down that that somebody doesn't know what hie is talking about. Whether you are going to be a farmer or a college president, you must fit yourself for whatever you are going to be. No matter what sort of work you are doing, try to do it a little bette* than the other fellow. Emerson says somewhere that if a man can do any thing supremely well, no mater if he live in a wilderness, the world will make a beaten path to his door. And this is very true. I rode the other day to see a farmer who lives not many miles from where I am writing and found that the Governor of the State had just been there to see his corn crop, and a great num ber of other men had come miles and miles to see this man's farm. And why? Simply because he had done more wtih an acre than any other man in the county. If your brother wants to go to town to clerk in a store and measure calico as somebody else's hired man, let him go. You stay on the farm where you can be independent, liv ing under your own vine and fig tree, and where you can take pare in all these great movements that are going to count for so much in human progress and in the world's development these next fifty years. We havo had too many farmer boys already who have made second rate merchants and clerks who might have made prominent farmers and men of influence in their counties. It is a great deal better and more honorable to raise Southern meat than it is to sell Western meat. It is a great deal better and more useful to be a leader in showing how to make more cotton per acre than it is to merely measure off a certain number of yards of cotton goods when a buyer wants it Don't give up the independence of farm life. In the city shops and stores only a small proportion of the workers own their own homes or have any chance to do work that counts for much in these great pro gressive movements we have been discussing. The boy who is shut up in a factory in the South has only one chance of usefulness and inde pendence for twenty that you aad other farmer boys have. ? DIET FC Ft THE FAT. Sugar *Md> Starchy Foods to Be Avoided?Juicy Vegetables and Water It Is popularly believed that all fat persons are gross feeders, but this is not true; indeed, the reverse is often the case. Obesity may a disease, or rather a prominent symptom of one, the trouble being with the internal chemistry of nutrition?a disease of metabolism. a3 it is called. Ft is com [ parable to diabetes--nearly related to | it, in fact. In thi* disease sugr?r is ! formed in excess in the system even when very little is taken with the food, and so in obesity there ?s a tendency to the formation of fat fD the body, even if little fat forming food is eaten. In most cases much can be done bv a regulation of the diet The amount of meat should not be Increased, but the quantity of sugar and starchy foods should bo reduced. ! their place being taken by non starchy vegetables, such as spinach, cauliflower and salads. The foods to be avoided or taken in great modera tion are those which contain much starch, such as rice and potatoes and all sweets?pies, puddings and candy. Tea and coffee? should be taken with out sugar. If taken at all. and choco ! late should be omittpd entirely. Bread is^ fattening, but for most persons it seems an indispensable article of diet. Tts amount can, how ever, be limited, and it should be toasted. Fats are less harmful than sugar and starch, and may be allowed fxt moderation in the form of butter and salad oil. The belief that the drinking of water makes fat is erroneous. If one eats Juicy vegetables, and especially the less sweet fruits. s;ich as apples and grapefrt-.lt. r?Tid abandons the use of sugar, there will be a natura? reduc tion in the amount of water taken, but one should drink all that is needed to quench thirst. Joint Worm's Devastating Work. There is an agent from the ento mological s?n"'nn nt Wnshins^toi 'n these parts inspecting th? condition of the wheat, and especially as to the efiect.3 upou it of the Joint worm, which, he s::ys. Is gradually Im reas I lng its devastations, and unless it is arrested and destroyed, in a few years the wheat crop of this State will net be worth the sowinn and harvesting. Tbia a^ent collects samples of the wheat, with the worm working in it. which be sends to Washington for In spection. This joint worm is a thread like worm about a sixteenth of an inch long, grown from an egg that a fly has deposited on the wheat stalk, and down the inside of that the worm burrows, absorbing the sap and sub stance of the wheat, and in this way completely ruining it. No way to destroy this worm or to resist fts ravages lias been discovered. ?Ohio State .Journal. Any uirl with ruby lips and gold en hair ought to be a treasure worth striving for.

Rims of wheels are square edged like wagon tire, and not thin oval-edged like our competitors use. Wheels are strong and "chunky" and not liable to spring and dish ae others. The cylinder flanges of the McKay Cutter have a con cave web between spokos making it practically impos sible for them to break, and the cylinder has a perpendic ular range of S" which is greater than most others. The entire weight of the McKay Cutter, with the operator in seat, can be most easily transferred from ground wheels to cylinder blades?the entire weight of both man and machine?with a direct and positive pressure. And it will cut larger and greener stalks closer to the ground, short er, and more satisfactory than any other cutter. THE DRAG HOOKS TO THE McKAY CUTTER are the most perfect, being operated entirely by the foot and having a SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ADJUSTMENT from that of cylinder. Operator does not have to throw cylinder lever every time he desires to raise drag hooks, but simply press the foot and up they go. Only two minutes are re quired to take them off entirely, if not Deeded. Come in today and see this cutter. Wrlttf me for names of some who have tried them.
