^- w Farm and Fireside. ?? - = - ^=J Mr. Goodwin's Work. Mr. 0. P. Goodwin, of Laurens, in charge of the Farmers' Union work for the Fourth District, writes The Farm ers' Union Sun as follows: Editor Farmers' Union Sun: I had the pleasure of addressing a large crowd of the good citizens of An derson county at Friendship last Satur day. Some five or six hundred people were present, and the ladies furnished a bountiful spread, and good cheer was the prevailing feature of the day. Honea Path has a large and nourishing union at that place and they are getting ready to build a large warehouse at Honea Path at an early date. . . . Yours fraternally, O. P. GOODWIN. Laurens, S. ('., Aug. 3, 1908. Crops Have Deteriorated. Capt. ("has. Petty, of the Carolina Spartan, says: "Information from farmers of good .judgment indicates that the cotton crop has deteriorated since July 1st. The general report is that the squares and bolls are thinly set and not in propor fi n to the weed. In the dry section there is some shedding. In riding to Pauline last Friday and then back by a different road part of the way we saw about M miles of crops. Much of the corn along the road traveled is very poor. Some fair lots at a distance from the road were observed. We saw only one lot of cotton of any size that prom ised 1,200 pounds to the acre. There is much cotton along the road that will not make more than KM) pounds to the acre." Poultry Calendar for August. The duck laying season ends this month. The March batched pullets should be gin to lay. All the old surplus stock should now be marketed. Add linseed meal to the soft feed and place some rusty iron ill the drinking vessels. It is not y<"t too late to caponizc.? Farm Journal. Has a Pet Goat. From The Farmers' Union Sun we reprint the following letter: "Dear Young Friends: I am soglad the editor has given us boys and girls a page in his line paper. Isn't that kind of him? And what good times we must have writing to each other. Now, I must loll you of the grandest, visit, that any boy ever did have, I know. It was to my uncle's home, Mr. William [I row il, who lives in the country three miles below town. "Hoys, be has just the finest goats t hat you ever did see, and so many of them, and all are just beauties, with their long coats of white fur. They are the fine Angora goats. Some came from .Montana, some from Virginia and some from North Carolina. He paid good prices for them and they are just splendid, sure. There are 115 in his drove. Then he has Wyandotte chick ens from Vandcrbilt's Uiltmore place, and bronze turkeys. My two other un cles who live near him, Mr. Thomas Drown and Mr. John Drown, have fine stock and poultry too. I have a pet goal that Uncle William gave me and I b-ve it so much. Its name is Frank. Now, if this letter don't fall in the waste basket I will write again. "Your little friends, "PIERCE AND RALPH MOORE." 1 .aureus, S. (!. Watermelon Rind Preserves. A writer in the Progressive Farmer says: Here is my recipe for making water melon rind preserves. Cut all the red I r an the inside and peel the green from I be outside of the rind with a sharp knife. Then cut into small pieces and boil in clear water until tender, then j lake out and drain (be water from them. Nexl weigh them. To every pound of rind use one and one half pounds of sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar and water and drop the rind into the boiling svrup and into this slice lemons. Use two lemons to a gallon of prOSOTVCS. Hod until the rind looks clear and the syrup is thick. Place in jars whilo hot and make sure to have sullicient syrup locover them and then seal. I hot her fanner, bow many articles do you buy ovcry year thai could bo produced on your farm? How much do you pay for I hem? Count that much as loss". (low pons and red clover will do land moro good than almost any amount of commercial fertilizer. Even the stub ble and roots make good humus and humus is the life of soil. Very Large Apples. Mr. D. S. Lynch, of the county, brought to The Advertiser offlCO Friday two very large red apples of his own cultivation.

A Cnmdon shoe man sold a pair of fdioes recently to a woman and after she had loft the store discovered that he had made the mistake of giving the customer two rights instead of a right and left, as is customary. Hush lug aftor the woman, he offered to make the wrong right, but was curtly Informed that the customer was sntls tiod, as she had a wooden leg on the left side anyhow and needed only riKhts. Now the dealer considers him self flimllnmmed, because for theprlco of one pall* of shoes he has really sup plied the customer with two pairs.? Kennobcc Journal. August time tells on the nerves.
