You will find it less easy to uproot
faults than to choke them by
gaining virtues. Do not think of
your faultc, still less of others'
faults. In every person who conies
near you look for what is good and
strong. Honor that, rejoice in it,
and, as you can, try to imitate it,
and your faults will drop off like
dead leaves when their time conies.

the honey ree.
This little insect is a pattern oi
industry. It gathers honey from
the many fragrant flowers of spring
and summer, and stores away in its
house called a beehive a good shnre
of its collection for winter use, but
man often robs them of their collection
for his own use, and if it is
not too late in the warm season
they go to work again and refill
their hive. Worms, too, often destroy
their supply of food for winter
and then the busy insects die ol
starvation, man and worms l>eing
their worst enemies.
Bt N58 assembled in great numbers
having a king and queen is called a
swarm.- Bees that will not work
are called drones, and the industrious
ones sting these to death and
carry them from their midst.
A bee farm is called an apiary
and the man who?. keeps this is
called an apiarist. It is interesting
to hear the keepers toll about bees.

The rainbow is usually seen in

brook or creek which throws the
bright colors on a cloud. The seven
bright colors composing the rainl)ow
arc as follows: Violet, indigo,
blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
These arc called the primary colors.

; This Beats Reduction of Cot;

Cheraw, April 8:?Special: The facta

and Courier an idea of what fai mere

\ At a dinner a few weeks ago at the
( home of Mr. and Mrs Francis P. B. Pegu?s,
in Northern Marlboro, notice was
taken by a guest that nothing hut s.ilt
- had been bought, all else having been
? raised on their own farm.
( The dinner consisted of tomato soup,
turkey, chicken, beef, ham, chicken
salad, rice, beans, Irish and sweet potatoes,
peaa, corn, pickles, vinegar
(home made), celery, molasses, pre>
serves, tomatoes, tea, nuts, fruit, nut
cake, pig foot jelly, bread and biscuits.
The tea and sugar were both home
made and in fact all the above?with
the exception of salt?was home made.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Pegucs is
alway open to their friends and relatives
and many enjoy their hospitality.
J. H. G.
The above was clipped from the
: Charleston News and Courier. The
j farmers all over this State can do the
j same thing thin farmer did, with a few
I exceptions. Until the farmers produce
everything consumed on their farms
reducing cotton acreage will do them
but little good so far as making and
saving monev goes. There is not a
fanner in Union county who can not
raise nearly everything that he noeds
for bis table and stock, and have sonicthing
to sell every month in the year.
And not until they do this will thoy be
independent.
forage Plants for Sesert
Lands
Luther Bur bunk, who is called
the botanical wizard, l>ccause of his
development of stoncless plums and
other fruit freaks, has just produced
, after ten years' work, a spineless
cactus, which is half nK nnlrilmia
as alfalfa, and will yield more forage
? to the acre.
By a series of crossings and recrossings
?j>f different varieties from
( different parts of the world, Mr.
Burbank is aiming to make the
1 plant hardier and to produce more
fruit and leaves, He has at his
Santa Rosa experimental grounds
specimens of a cactus which he has
robl)cd of thorns, having brought
tnc leaves to a state of perfection in
which a man can rub a leaf across
; his face. The surface is found soft
{ as silk.
The creation of a spineless cactus
1 is of world-wide importance. The
: plant will grow luxuriously on the
1 driest desert. In this and other
countries its leaves and fruit are
food for man and beast, and it will
' mean to SQinc regions more than
the introduction of the potato meant
1 to Europe.?Sel.
