I. L ACKERMAN'S FARM.
It wobM be a good thins for n
good aoanv farmers in 0)1 le ton
county if they could ye down toCot-
tageniDe and look over the conven-
ienees .provided by R A Ackerman
around his home. Mr Ackerman
hm -a delightful home, which Is
really a city home in the country.
Hedna, in addition to a very conven
iently and comfortably arranged
residence, with acetylene lights and
stater works, awny ^conveniecesi
around the place whidh are labor
and time saving. For dnstance, Mr
Ackerman has a gasoline engine
which he makes de a great deal of
drudgery of the hired • man. it
pumps water, sawe wood, grinds
feed for horses, hogs, cows and
chickens. He has 4 dairy through
which a constant flow of water
passes in pipes, which keeps the
temperature of the dairy cool. -In
this dairy, with only two cows, one
can see at any time.at least ten big
bowls or pans of milk covered with
the richest cream. *
The thing which would impress
the visitor to this farm most would
be Mr Ackerman’s poultry. In a
yard set apart for this purpose he
has a dozen beautiful white leghorn
fowls, at this time he has off two
hatches of white leghorn chicks: one
hatch about five weeks old, the
other about two weeks, each from a
125 egg incul>ator. He has one in
cubator and two brooders, so that
heis able to take care of the two
hatches at the same time. Tbese
chickens are growing very rapidly
and there is not a -droopy one in the
lot, there being about ninety in each
hatch. Mr Ackerman uses the Cor
nell incubator and brooder. It is
useless to say that he finds both
pleasure and profit in his poultry
business. 4
Other things migfet be mentioned
in connection with Mr Ackerman’s
ideal home life, but it would have
to be seen to be thoroughly appre
ciated.
We had the pleasure of dining
there recently with a young attorney
from Walterboro, who is thinking
now very seriously of giving up the
practice of law and trying to be
come an adjunct to this ideal farm.
Mr and Mrs Ackerman and their
two lovely daughters, are the per
sonification of hospitality, and noth
ing gives them more pleasure than
to have their numerous visitors en
joy themselves. We are sure that
they would take pleasure in show
ing anyone who wishes to see bow
Mr Ackerman has everything around
the home so conveniently arranged.
MU TIT DESK.
Semewbere in the course of ear
rending recently w> came upon an
article which discussed the vnine to
the fanner of a roll top desk, nsean-
hitf that if evecy farmer had-a roll
and would uae it if only a
vary day to beep a
record of the expense of the farm,
and to write betters, it would mean
bettor buMnoss methods on the farm.
There is no reason why dormers
should not‘be provided with busi
ness stationery the same ns mer
chants and professional men. In-
j stoad of being an easy natter for a
farmer to write a letter, in a great
many cases it is a laborious work,
•and the ’writing of a letter is post
poned in many cases uadi the value
of the letter has been loet.
It is a noted fact that if you wish
to hear anything from a .great many
farmers ycu had better see them ia
persoR, rather than expect that the*'
would write you in reply to a letter.
There may have been an excuse for
this at one time, but now with
stationery as cheap as it is and with
the mail facilities as it ie now, there
is no reason why business methods
should not prevail.
We would urge that many of the
farmers of this county sell a calf and
buy a roll top desk.

THE
THE LEAD PENCK: AND
. POSTAL CARD.
Don’t forget that postal card idea.
The next time you go to the post-
office, get a quarter’s worth, and
when they give out get another
quarter’s worth, and keep a supply
always on hand.
Then take a lead pencil and write
for whatever you want whenever
you want it—whether it is a Far
mer’s Bulletin, an advertiser’s cata
log or price list, just some bit of in
formation you need.
Uae the postal card, too, to jog up
your Congressman, your member of
the Legislature, your county Com
missioner, Superintendent of
schools, your Commissioner of Agri
culture, or your Editor, about any
matter in which you are interested.
Farmers can double their influence
in the political and business worjd
by liberal uae o{ the postal card and
the lead pencil.
If you paid help about any farm
problem, a postal card will get it for
you. If you wish to know more
about anything advertised or men
tioned in TheProgrearive Farmer, a
postal card will get you the informa
tion. °
In a hundred other ways the lead
pencil and the quarter’s worth of
postal cardswiU kelp yop amazingly.

MEETING OF HORSE-PEN LOCAL
Our. Union met Apr. 10th. As
there was a misunnerslanding con
cerning our time of meeting and
there was not a full attendance, but
I think it is now understood that we
are to meet every second Saturday
night.
Our next meeting wdll be held on
the second Saturday in May at 4
o’clock in the afternoon.
Since organizing we have taken in
thrqe new members, and hope to do
much better in a short time. "
I think we have plenty of good
timber in our neighborhood, and we
hope to see our county organised as
well asaome of the upper counties
are in the very near future.
We believe that the union will
benefit every fanner in some way,
and if it does not benefit them in
any other way it will bring about
a better feeling an^ong them, for 1
think the fanners as a rule are some
what selfish.
Our delegates to the county con
vention to be held on the first Satur
day in May are Pres. Joseph Lang-
dale, delegate at large, A C Roger
and G L Smoak.
With best wishes to The Press
and Standard.

LOOKAHEAD-
The farmer who looks ahead will
always have some young stock eom-
ting on to take ithe place of old for
borne uie, or to be sold when paces
are good. He will have corn to sell
when there is a scarcity and prices
soar, and all of his neighbors •have
to buy. There is a big difference in
fanning profits between always hav
ing to buy, having Hghpriced feeds
in the spring and having them ts
rell. Many modem fanners have
become rich in yearly looking ahead
and providing well against this one
universal condition. Oats at 40
cents ia August are invariably 50
cents the following Marh or April'
sod that means 20 per cent, profit
for holding, which is a good rate of
interest for the man who has them
to sell.—Farmers’ Home Journal.
COUNTY FAIR-
\
Now is a good time for the Far
mers’ Unions to take up the idea of
having a County Fair this fall at
Walterboro, and we would like to
see a movement started at the next
meeting of the County Farmers’
Union looking to an establishment
of a County Fair next fall. There is
nothing that would be a greater im
petus and cause more interest to be
taken in improving the conditions of
the farm than a good County fair.
We shall be g ? ad ts have the union
ists discuss these matters and
come prepared at th^ next meeting
of the County Farmers’ Union to
launch p plan by which this county
fair may be successfully started.
