THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
PLAN FORil 'D.i)MONT FAICERS.
Tho writer of this paragraph for
Lhe last fifteen years has been urg
ing tho farmers of the Piedmont
country to raise ni abundance of
corn, small grain, sorghuim, meat
and potaLes for the supply of tho
farm awnd then to make cotton the
surpluf; crop, whether it is bringing
thr Cor thirty cents at planiting
time Maniy of our friends have
followed ihis plan. Long ago they
.-ut diown thiir cotton acreage.
They di.A iot illnr4onso it last year
vhen .t v, 'Ii vaq 12 to 15 cents in
thi sing months. Such farmers
havo bi-on, malking four to ight
balos to t.e liehIrs . but they are
generav abi" to sel a little corn,
.W11a*ine ba4 ly, sed a lwat nl oats.
Uleni they can y' -a e CC few
1111ImlA in, thle soum mIler 11 ld thIll
.ponlerallv liivot a milk vow or tw l
for sale. They are oating inmo
ll.uir of best Cualit y inadto t Of
home raited wheat att i. itr own
mills. This is not a cotton belt,
such as t0h fiimoj rs havI Iml thei'
middle of the State, and we again
Urgo farmers to adopt a set tied p.lan
anld always pith thei r crops in
ACCOIrlance with that plan. On(,
farnr said today: '-I sowed
ugh wheat last fall to do me a
year- with somv- to spare, and 1
would have (one the same thing if
vIt ton hid been 20 ccnts aad flour
f2 a barrel." That was the right
kind of pluck. One year with
another, a good plan vigorously
purs.Aued, will pay better than
changimg to suit the prices of farm
prodnct.
ROTATION OF CROPS.
Lot not farmers bo dihoartored
about the price of cotton. '!.is
was a great cou.Ant ry before any
cotjtou was mado. If cotton lever
gets to 12 cents again, we havo the

thle soil is a wviso roItation of crops
Phis is the season of the year t<
pilan for that. There can be wn

is niot a clover section. Al falf:
maiy do well, but it, wvdl not b~

The American college is in every
way nmlque. It may be defined in a
word as a school for imparting more
general and advanced iatruction than
an be obtained In the various acade
lutes and private chools. The univor
aity, however, more particularly comn
prises a iumber of technical schools,
Imparting instruction in all depart
ments of knowledge, Inchding classxic
a4 literature, the arts and science.t, as
biology, mediclue. murgery, law, theol
ogy, raechanics and so on. The issue
as to which is the most desirable, the
ne0 nedvu be bees diewsed at ed
tcational congremsas, in the public
pres and notably in the leading re
views. There has been evident In
these dicussions a tendency to look
ipon the college as a kind of inferior
school which must be given Its place
)nly when there is not enough money
to establish tho more expensive uni
versity. On the other hand, the collego
has not wanted its stout champions, in
whose view the American college, wIth
its concentratod curriculum, the close
ness of touch between pupil and pro
fessor, is not only an institution that
is to be conserved, but is one that of
ten, if not always, offers a better kind
of education than Is availablo in the
university.-Leslie's Weekly.
Wow to Read.
Rteading is not a lost art to the sae
degree that conversation is, but It has
in most eses an arrested developmnent
through so much reading that umakes
no demand upon aesthetic sensibility,
so that one is apt to brIng to a fine
story full of delicate shades of thought
and feeling the same mind which he
yields to a newspaper, putting a blunt
interrogation as to its meaning as con
veyed ini the terms of a rational propo
sition, and the writer', charm Ia wholly
lost upon him. While the reader's sur'
render to the author must be complete,
his attitude should not be passive, but
that of active responsiveness and part
norship.-4U. M. Alden in H~arper's Mag
nraine.

It is a popular fallacy that the first
ilove is the true one, unique In its ex
cellenco, says an exchange. As well
say that the first pictur'e of a painter
is the bast of all he will paint Iu the
course of his lifo; that the first speech,
the first book, the dirst statue, the first
comlpositIOn,1 will be the beet of the
statesman, novelist, sculptor or musi
cian, as the Ecas may be. i'rst works
have all ii0 oImperfections of uncer
talnty, of Inlexperience and ignoranco.
And it is rather by chance than by
anything inherant in the nature of Cu
pid's ways that the first love turn, out
to be the great one.

None of the mialdens in Guatemala
