There lives there a woman who says that she has immediate communion with the Almighty, and now and then delivers to those of common clay a mesco ?.-* -i-- >? -- ? mat ?ue nus receivea irom on high. The fact that these messages sometimes take on a very materialistic hue does not alter their effectiveness, in her opinion. One day she went into the office of a well-known attorney and approached him solemnly as one about to reveal an awe-inspiring secret. "The Lord sent me to you for $25," she announced. The attorney looked up and smiled. "That must be a mistake," he replied, blandly, "because the Lord knows I have not got it." Celestial communication was thereupon broken off.?From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Fertile in Explanation. She?George, did you mail that letter I gave you last Monday morning?

FOOD QU ESTIOX Settled With Perfect Satisfaction by a Dyspeptic. It's not an easy matter to satisfy 11 the members of the family at meal time, as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordi$ nary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. "He was hardly able to work, was takine medicine continually, and as s(M?n .

There is hardly a farm in the Piedmont or mountain sections of the South but that would be benefited by having a small (lock of breeding ewes to graze on it. Sheep, as every one knows who has tried them, are great gleaners. Three-fourths of the weeds that are eo troublesome on our cultivated fields would, within a fewyears, be killed out entirely were sheep allowed access to the fields at different times of the year. This would require that our farms be fenced. However, we believe this should be done any way, in order that our hogs could be run in different sections of the farm, and gather their feed from the clover, cowpea and soja bean fields. There is enough feed wasted on half of the farms of the South each year to feed a good sized flock of sheep and a good bunch of hogs. This matter of waste will need to be looked after more carefully as the price of our farm lands advance, if we are to make interest on their enhanced value. A gentleman told the writer some time ago he. believed Sunny Home Farm to be the cleanest farm in North Carolina devoted to general farming. However this may be, a large amount of the credit for the clean fields is due to the fact that we keep as a side issue from fifty to seventy-five breeding ewes on the farm at all times of the year, and there is hardly a square rod of land on the farm that doesn't feel the nrpspni>o r>t "?1J ? ... ~ - me niiiucu hoof." Aside from what they pick up In the fields, the feed of these ewes Is only a small amount of clover, pea hay, and some little corn silage. fed in severe weather, during the winter, and a light feed of grain fcr ewes and lambs in the late winter, before the winter grazing crops get their spring start. The ewes average about 125 per cent, of lambs per year that are sold to the local butchers for from *5 to $6 per head, and are nil gone by the middle of August. The wool sold from the ewes averages around SI per head, so we receive an income of around $5.50 per year for each ewe handled. The majority of the ewes are the common scrub stock of the country that we pick up wherever wo ran find them at around 54 per head, buying only young ones. As fast as their mouths begin to break the aged ewes are fattened on pea vines or clover. and sold to the butchers, and their places filled with a new lot. Only first-class registered Shropshire rams are used on these ewes, and the produce is a very good type of mutton lamb. By getting the lambs off the farm during the early summer we have no losses from stomach worms, so have not this loss to figure on. uoin; unci: fo the above, my readers tvill see that our little fiork brings us around 12."? per cent, per year on the original cost of the ewes, the aged ewes usually bringing when fat as much, if not more, than thev | cost when young. As nine-tenths of their feed is what would otherwise be a waste product we consider our little j flock pays us very well for the trouble they give. | Dozens of meadows in our section r.re fairly yellow each spring front the cress that infests the fields. We have none of this pest, as there is nothing j a sheep loves better than this plant j when yonng and tender, and we pre-1 fer to handle the cress as a lamb rath- j er than as hay, as when handled in j the form of a lamb we do not have | the seed to go into the stable manure, I and from there back into the land to Infest other fields. The ewes do away with millions of rag and other troublesome weeds while the plants are young and tender. Thus when sheep are kept there is a tendency toward cleaner fields all the time, and less weed killing necessary with the harrow and cultivator. And we have always found the lamb money to come 4 ^ U- ?- J * jj. uiiixuy auring me early summer. I | advise our young farmers to look into the sheep business, as keeping a few breeding ewes is a good habit to get into. ? A. L. French, in Southern Planter. Short Rotes About Hwine. It is not profitable to keep too many hogs in one bunch. If each sow and litter can be kept in separate lots until the pigs are old enough to wean, better results will be obtained. It is also generally best to, Jceep no more than twenty or twenty. | five pigs or grown hogs in one bunch. The practicability of this will depend cn the cost of separating larger numbers. If it can be done at a moderate cost it will usually be found to pay.

Pigs need most attention when young and will pay more for what they get at that time than at any other. It is not economy to feed a sow sic months to raise a litter of pigs and then allow her to kill onefourth of them for the lack of a few hours' attention. Remember that the pigs that grow fastest while young are usually the most profitable. When you are feeding the suckling sow you are providing (he best feed for her pigs; therefore, after the pigs are three or four weexs oici be liberal with the feed up I to the capacity of the sow to digest it. I Do not breed the young sow until she is nine months old. and then keep her breeding regularly two litters a year until she begins to decline from old age or is proved a poor brood sow. Aged sows are much less likely to fail to breed regularly if kept constantly at it. The most critical periods of the pig's life, as regards his feeding, are the first three weeks, when overfeeding of the sow may derange his digestion, and the first month or two after weaning, when if fed too much or unwisely, his digestion may be impaired. or if not fed enough, he will be "stunted" and may fail to fully recover from it later. Do not worry about the sew getting too fat in the 120 days between breeding and farrowing time. If giv ui t-.xercise ana a Daianced ration she will not get too fat In four months after suckling a litter of pigs. Any good brood sow will lose flesh while suckling a good-sized litter of pigs, and if in good flesh at farrowing time she has some reserve to draw on for the benefit of her pigs. The habit of feeding hogs corn, and nothing but corn, save what they gather in the woods or a "pasture" where nothing grows, has become so thoroughly fixed that it continues regardless of the price of corn. It costs us millions every year, and we can ill afford s'Tch expensive habits. Twothirds the corn can he saved by providing crops for the hogs to harvest all the round, and at an expense that will reduce the cost of the pork from eno-third to one-half.?Progressive 1* sriuer. Why Xct Change All This? Riding on a railroad in the upper part of the Cotton Belt last week I saw a fine large warehouse at one station where the train paused, writes I Professor Massey. At a side door a ! farm team was loading baled hay. i The warehouse had a big sign, "FarmI ors' Supply Company." And all l around on the brown fields men with | single mules end little plows were .scratching down the old dead cotton i stalks, which did r.ot look to have | been much over a foot tall, and prel paring that land for cotton again, with n prosrect of its taking four ' acres to make a bale, and buying | Western hay to feed the mules. And when that littlo emu to on that starved soil the most of It will I go to that supply company for hay and fertilizers and food. Doubtless the men who were walking after ; those little mules and little plows conclude that farming does not pay. But it pays the supply company which carries the farmers at a big percentage. and builds fine warehouses, and whose members live in nice town houses, while the men who ought to be selling them produce are working like slaves to make the company rich, leaving their fields hare all winter to wash away what little fertility they have left. | And these men are starting a new season in the same old hopeless way, I belonging to the supply comnany, be! cause they will not use their brains I and read and learn to farm and lm| prove their land. Every season they I must work hard for other folks, and j every season make the same old debts | to be paid out of the cotton, while the j land gets poorer and tho crops get smaller and less profitable. Is it always to bo like this, or will these planters finally learn to farm? Chance For Butter Makers. There are numerous families in all me larger towns of the South that are regularly paying thirty-flve cents to forty cents per pound for Elgin creamery butter and would willingly pay the same price for butter of equal quality, delivered each week by the farmers of the section. Many farmers over the State make a contract with a merchant, hotel or private customer to furnish butter regularly each week at about thirty cents per pound, and when a farmer has to accept a ; low price for his butter it is usually . on account of its inferior quality.? 1 Archibald Smith* | 3.
