Haw Chinese Methods Differ From Those of The West. I A newcomer to China can never fail to be interested in watching the work that goes on in a carpenter's shop. The methods are so different from those to which we are accustomed, and at the same time so simple and ^ practical. To begin with, there is nothing in the nature of a clamp or vise for holding down the piece of wood that J is being worked upon. If it is quite small it is simply placed against a stop on the bench and held firm by a string which passes round the carpenter's foot. For larger artfl more awkward pieces such as an old beam which has to be stood on end for sawing into planks, the carpenter will rig up some impossible Heath-Robinson arrangement of levers, weights and ropes which fulfills its purpose surprisingitif wellCircular or hand saws are almost unknows?labor is far too cheap?and OMUMUMUM^I>4UMUMU^UMUMUMUM^ w6oo^*WWWVm>m i i/' I iii Spec i* i i M : 1 For th( I i| WE HAVE ] I S vRRmrANnTsr. | THESE PRICES l 11 Dres t i|: VALUES $20.

This is done by leaning them in a sloping position against a rough trestle, one end resting on the ground. One man stands balanced on the log and the other stands or sits on the ground underneath, while both work a long saw up and down between them. The moo-jeang, as the carpenter is called, is very skillful with a form of tool which may best be described as a cross between a European hatchet and a pickax. It has a sharp cutting edge, i>erhaps four or five inches long as in the former case, but the edge of the blade is at right angles to a long handle as in the latter. The man will stand on the piece of wood he is shaping and use the tool in much the same way as a navy uses a pickax, swinging it so as to strike - " J - * i?-T I into me wooa <x ic? uitun xw..v of his foot. It is a terrible business | to watch, for it seems as if sooner J or later he must inevitably make a J slight misjudgment and cut off his toes. But he never does. Quite intricate shapes, such as the paddles for a boat, are made in this manner. The Chinese device for making holes is a drill, consisting of a steel bit mounted in the end of a wooden rod about a foot long, at the top of which is a pivoted socket for pressing the drill down into the wood by hand. Two strings are wound round the rod in opposite directions, one from the top and the other from the bottom, and these are attached to the ends of a stick which crosses the drill at right angles. By working this stick to and fro across the drill after the manner of a violin bow one of the strings is unwound, thus rotating the drill, while the other is wound up, and the bit is made to turn rapidly first in one direction and then in the other.?London Daily Mail. o CARPET GRASS BEST. For Permanent Pasture in the Coastal Plain Area of the South. I Carpet grass is the most important - a. i. A* grass zor permanent pasture m me Coastal Plain area of the South. Carpet grass is not a native grass, but was accidentally introduced from tropical America before 1830 and has spread generally over the Southern States. Carpet grass is a perenial palegreen grass, spreading by creaping stems which root at every joint, thus forming a close, compact turf; it has gstree I _ ? r - :ial Pi b Next Tc DECIDED TO CLOSE < AND THE PRICES WI PREVAIL. ises SI nn t a *ka nn ?1 15 W X V ?pw<w Y???r ilks, Tricotines, Thes Serges, to be up in 1 and wi 3 DRESS. .

Its leaves are wider and more I rounded at the tips than those of Bermuda grass and lighter in color. Seeds are produced in slender seed fingers, two to five to each stem. Carpet grass requires a moist or ! at least not a droughty soil and succeeds better in such coils if sandy than other pasture grass. The minimum temperature it will survive is about 10" F. Carpet grass pastures are readily established in tilled land by seeding at any time froff early) I spring to late summer on a well firmed seed bed, when moisture eonditi ns are favorable. On unbroken or stump land good recults car. be secured by burning or mowing the tall native g>asses, seeding at a favorable time, and then pasturing to keep the native i grasses constantly short. Under this treatment the native grasses are ! eradicated in one or two years and j replaced by a pure stand of carpet I grass. The carrying capacity of good car| pet grass pasture is one cow to the J acre for the five best months and one i cow to two acres for three to five I * months longer. Dallis gra%, lespedeza, white clover, bur clover, black medic, and Augusta vetch are desirable in mixture with carpet rass. Italian rye may be used - -i L..1. 1. i.A as a winter mixture, out nevus to uc sown each fall. Under some conditions redtop should be used to pre, cede carpet grass. Carpet grass pastures should be grazed to their capacity, as under heavy grazing the best condition is maintained. Carpet grass pasture supplemented by the plants mentioned will make an ideal pasture that can be grazed nearly, if not quite, *he entire twelve months. i Bitterweed and dog fennel are the only two weeds that seriously invade carpet grass pastures. During the first two seasons these weeds should be mowed before they ripen seed. Thereafter they will cause but little trouble, but mowing should be resorted to when necessary. ' Seed of carpet grass is easily ; harvested by mowing and thrashing. Large areas of pure or nearly pure carpet grass occur in several regions ! in the South. Up to the present the quantity of seed produced has been only a fraction of that required. A comprehensive plan has been devised to increase greatly the harvesting of seed, as the outstanding need to stimulate a much greater use of carpet grass for pastures is an ample seed supply. )ry Goc rices n Days, E DUT THE FOLLOWING i QUOTE THEM AT AE! iirt Waists " *< AA TT A T ?

"The year 1921 was a ye"ar of readjustment and uncertain- j ty," says Mr. William C. Potter, Pres- j ident of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, "yet as the year draws J to a close there are evidences that i the country is emerging in sound con- j dition from the period of severe busi- j ness depression that began about the \ middle of 1920. There is much data, ! in fact, that indicate that business 1 is gradually returning to a natural ! basis and that the fundamentals for sound progress are daily being strengthened." "In support of this view Mr. Potter points to the fact that the volume of textile manufacture is now generally upon the level of the early fall ol 1919; that wool consumption has increased very substantially; that the volume of new business is increasing; that the railroads are making progress toward recovery; that wholesale prices are being stabilized at something like fifty per cent above the pre-war level, generally speaking; and that in the South there have been "many compensating advantages" growing out of the short cotton crop?"especially in the matter of liquidating old loans." "If the world at large can only get a grip on itself now and take a fresh start this country should regain its prosperity, at least in the measure which it is willing to work for it. There will be no recurrence of the orgy which followed the armistice. There are not many, surely, who will < entertain regrets on that account. o The Mohammedans hold their Sab- < bath on Friday. / Send ufl vour order for Job Print- ? ing.
