It is noteworthy in this con nection that Richland, Orangeburg, Lee, Kershaw, Hampton. Bamberg and Abbeville are the leading coun-. ties of the Strte in the construction [ of sand-clay roads. The varied lo calities of these counties show con clusively that the sand-clay road is applicable to all sections of South Carolina. Richland leads the State in sand-clay construction, having4<M> miles of finished roadway.

Every farm home should bo a business house within itself. I am ashamed of the fact that 1 never knew anything of my father s bus iness except to labor with muse'e until I was grown In age and fleshy volume. And I know the same fact to bi* true with almost all of my farm associates. They only knew manual labor, and that not very skilfully, except the power within the muscle. This fpower is, of course, a very necessary essential in successful farming in this day and time. Even though i we are pos sessed of the skill and knowledge of the “know-how-and-why,” wv must be able to take hold and skilfully do in order to teach the “know-how-and why” to our fellow farmers and make it stick and take with them. I do not mean that a farmer should turn his business absolutely over to his boys, or to anyone of hia boys but I do moan that he should make his home and his farm a bus iness establishment in which ho is the teacher and the boys are the pupils. And to make the principles practicable, the boys should be per mitted to transact a part of the farm business. Of course, this should always be begun, and, to an extent, continueil,'’under the direc tion of the teacher of this estab lishment. 1 dare say that 95 per cent of the boys on the farm have never sold a bale of cotton, held re sponsible for the calculation of its value or bought or sold barely any thing from or for the farm. Thus the boys become their own men, as the saying among the boys; get married generally, if. they continue to farm, knowing comparatively nothing of the business to be carried on in successful profitable farming. —Farmer’s Union News.
