only needs some one to taku hold
with a willing hand, and push the
thing along to completion. The
monument would be a credit, not
only to the old soldiers, but to
the County m wall.

WHIPS COVE.
Many of our farmers have been
tanmg advantage of the fine fall
weather and hauling lime from
various points. The tiller of the
soil of the present day is begin ning
to "sit up and take notice,"
and as a result, much better
farming is in evidence on every
hand; as, for instance, the several
fine fields of clover last season,
where, ten years ago, scarcely a
"patch" of clover could tto found
in all our valley.
Our soil responds quickly and
generously to the use of lime,
and more of this is being used,
and less acid r'josnhate than
formerly.
The writer well remembers
that when a field was no longer
able, from lack of fertilizer, to
pr jduce a profitable crop of corn
or wheat, it was sown in buck
wheat; this was followed with
rye with about 100 lbs. of acid
phosphate per acre. A good crop
of buckwheat, and a fair crop of
rye, generally were gathered;
then the field- what was left of
it was allowed to remain until it
had recovered sufficiently to go
through the same rotation of
buckwheat and rye again. This
state of affairs is largely a "thing
ol the past," except in a few in
stances, mostly on rented prem
ises. But the effects are seen on
every hand in the poorer parts of
our county old abandoned fields,
full of gutters, and covered with
a young growth of pine, locust,
sassafras, etc. but ae before
s'tated, this condition is h ippily
fast disappeiring as the younger
and more progressive farmer
takes hold of the plowbandle.

Seek Blf Fortune From Government.
The signers of the Declaration
ot Independence pledged "their
lives, their fortunes and their sa
cred honor" in support of that
Declaration. Robert Morris
went further, and backed up his
declaration with his fortune, and
he never got any of it back. Now
his descendants are going after
that money, and there is good
prospect that they will get it. He
loaned the govern ment $1,400,000
no part of which was ever paid.
Now liis heirs are after the mon
ey, which, with accumulated in
terest of about 130 years they fig
ure, brings the amount into the
Rockefeller class.
Forty of these" claimants held a
meeting and decided to prosecute
their claim against the govern
ment. They say the govern ment
is willing, upon proper proof, to
pay this loan.

"Had to have 'om."
"Now, that's because you have
a natural sense of responsibility.
I'm glad to see it in a child, too.''

President's Hunting Boots.
President Roosevelt has order
ed his hunting shoes. They
really are boots, reaching almost
to the ku.e, and the measure
meuts by which they are to be
made are the most complete ever
received by a Brockton, Mass.,
factory.
At the request of the Presi
dent, the firm sent one of its
most expert men to Washington
to take the measurement of the
president's feet.
Orders were given for four
pairs of boots, all to be duplicat
ed. Each of the President's feet
was carefully measured. In all
nearly fifty measurements were
taken. By them plaster casts
will be made of the President's
feet and legs and the shoes liter
ally will be built on these. The
shoes are to have an extra double
sole, into which the uppers are
to be sewed with waterproof
stitches.
Poultry Notes.
When feeding ground grains
use a proportionate part of bran.
After hens are two years old
they will not lay enough eggs in
the winter to pay for their extra
keep.
As geese live on pasture every
farmer should raise them. Ducks
can also be profitably grown on
the average farm.
Every farmer could easily raise
a good flock of turkeys. The
prices paid during the holiday
seasons will be satisfactory and
amply repay all trouble.
There is no better winter
breakfast for the stock thau equal
parts, by weight, of bian, mid

and five per cent, of linseed meai.
Mix the ground grain with the
