On look- j? g over some old papers the other o; ,y I came across a diary which I pt for the year 1903?only sevenen years ago?and found notations ? some prices that makes the eye ien. Here are some of them: One ck of flour, $1.75; 30 lbs bacon, hi !.'10; one gallon of molasses, 40 nts; 10 yards calico, 50 cents; three p iir ladies' hose, 25 cents; one pair . shoes $1.75. Dy reference to the diary, I also *' und that I bought 1,498 feet of mber for $10.48; and one thousand vi iek for $5.25, At this time I was dng on a farm in dear old Union : >unty. On another page of my book found that I was getting forty and 'ty cents a day for my work. On n in. 28, 1903, I sold one bale of cot- ? in for $27.04. The seed brought 'c 3.70. On the same day sold four Cl >zen eggs for sixty-four cents. In >05 it took three and one-half days f work to buy a sack of flour. Now f, can buy nearly two sacks with one iy's work. So, personally, I feel mt 1 am ahead of the high cost of ring. Still, I can use that bonus v undress is thinking about giving the en who served in the war.?Bartley p elms, Mt. Holly, N.

Clemson Colege, March 16?Pustig machines consist of two types. ^ ne is the traction machine also ^ nown as the traction power machine, he bellows are driven from sprock- y, s on the axels of the ground wheels, hese machines, at present prices of aterials and workmanship, are too s xpensivc for the small farmer. It >re, necessary for such persons to nploy hand dusting machines. None f the old type well known dusting ^ lachines are satisfactory for this t oik. Furthermore, the hand dust- q tg machine has not shown itself ca- |\ able of doing as good work as the a action machine and the hand ma- y liines are primarily intended to sup- a lenient the traction machines for t ooks and corners of the plantation ? lat cannot be reached by the large lachine. The warning against the purchaslg of hand dusting machines is 'he ^ a me as for traction machines, name- ^ before purchasing, the farmer ^ liould ask the entomoligists for inirmation in regard to the machine ( ecause the wrong kind is of little or 0 valuu. j It is believed tljat there will be a umber of machines </n jthe market eforo dusting begins about .duly, hut t the present time they are under n (instruction and will be tested out by he Federal Government, whereupon r ull information as to the merits of lie different machines will be publish1 for the jnformati n of the farmers v This Spring we have been fortup? 1 te in securing Min Viol* Folimn, riio rill take pleasure in helping you ? olve your bat troubles.

AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS TO USE AIRPLANES An air express service is to be inaugurated by the American Railway Express Company at an early date between New York and Chicago and to be extended throughout the country wherever there is a real demand for 1 such service, according to an announcement made byR. E. M. Cowie, Vice President of the Company. This information is gratifying. The :ountries of Europe have already applied the airplane extensively and successfully to commercial uses and there seems to be no reason why America, with its vast and incomparable facilities for airplane production and it great need for a more rapid means of transportation than is afforded by its railroads should not quickly lead the world in this new and rich industrial field. Morevour the matter is of importance not only as a commercial measure but will be of gre- t value as a public safety measure, since the thousands of planes which will be used as commerce carriers will of course be available for the use of the Government in case the country should be ever again forced into warNOTES FROM HOPEWELL Mr. Henry Lisenby, who lr?s been ill with the flu is improving.
