Origin of Dollar Mark.
Some claim thut It Is u mollification
of the Engftsh symbol () for the
pound. Another explanation Is that It
came from the letters U. S. written
one over the other. Yet another
theory is thut the two upright marks
represent two pillars of brass before
the temple of Solomon, which early up
poured on our coins and became Inter
twined with n scroll.

PREPARE CAPONS
FOR BEST PRICE,
No Feed or Water Should Be
Given for 24 Hours Before
Fowls Are Killed.
STICKING METHOD FAVORED
Somo Feathers Should De Allowed to
Remain as Distinguishing Mark
Pack In Neat Boxes of Moct
j Convenient Size. '
Capons selected for killing should
ho confined for 124 hours without feed
or water to empty their crops com
pletely. The usual method of killing
Is known as the sticking method. The
fowl Is hung up by the feet, the hend
In the left hand, and the whole body
stretched to full length. Tho mouth is
forced open and tho blood vessels ut
the back of the throat are severed
with u sharp nnrrow-bludcd Unlit
The knife Is then turned and the
point plunged through the roof of Uio
mouth v to a point Just behind and be
tween the eye, piercing tin. brnln.
Tho muscles are relaxed and the
feathers come out easily.
Dry Picking Ic Best
Cnpons should always be dry picked,
as they look much better and as some
of the feathers should be left on. The
feathers of the neck and head, the tall
feathers, those a short way up the
hack, the feathers of the last two
Joints of the wing, and those of the
leg, about one-third of the way from
knee -to hip Joint, should be left on.
Theso feathers, together with the hend
of the capon, serve to distinguish it
from other clnsses of poultry on the
market, and consequently should
never be removed. In packing, be
careful not to tear the skin. Had
tears, poultry specialists of tho United
States department of agriculture sny,
Good Specimen of Capon,
should be sewn up. Capons scalded
nnd picked bare bring very little. If
any, better prices than other poultry
In the same condition.
Most markets require capons to bo
undmwn nnd the head and feet left
'on. Caro should ho used to cleanse
the head and feet of all signs of blood
and tilth.
Pack in Neat Box.
After picking, the carcasses are
hung In a cool place until the animal
heat has ttntlrely left the body, when
they are ready to be packed. Like
other poultry, they should be packed
in boxes of convenient size, holding n
.dozen carcasses, oi In barrels. Every
attention should be given to nentness
and attractive less, as this helps the
sale nnd the price. During tho time
of year when most capons are mar
keted January, Februnry and' March
no ice Is necessary, but If for any
reason they are shipped In warm
wenther they should be' packed In
Ice.
MAKING POSTS LAST LONGER,
Good Plan to Treat Tops With Creo
sote as Well as Bottoms to
Prevent Deterioration.
If the top of the fence post Is bev
eled the water will run off Instead of
soaking Into the top of the post und
causing decay. It Is as Important to
conserve the top of the posts ns the
part that in In the ground. It will nlso
pay when treating the bottom of the
post with creosote to give the part
rbove ground n light treatment.
INCREASE PROFITS OF FARM
Development of Motor Transportation
Expected to Bring Farmer
Better Returns.
The development of motor transpor
tation of farm products is going to be
one of tho big things In the progress
of farming In the next few years. It
Is going to place agriculture on n more
profitable basis, nnd (llmlnute much of
the spread which now exists between
the consumer nnd the producer.

to feed her for egg production, If she
Is not naturally healthy and vigorous,
alio will not be n bird to keep1n the

CORN HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
i
Growing Period Is During Hottest Part
of Year When Soil la Dry and
Thoroughly Warm.
Com has an advantage i over tho
smnll grains. Its growing period Is
during the wannest part nf the year.
The soil Is then dried out nnd warmed
thoroughly. The duys nre then tho
longest and the sun shines tho wnrjn
est. All these things nre needed by n
plant to mako growth. From this It
becomes plain why corn should pro
duce more food on an acre of land
than a crop that does not tnlce advan
tage of the whole growing senson.
Corn has another ndvantuge nnd
thnt Is thnt Its nature of growth Is
such thnt It can be cultivated. Many
mny think thnt this Is a disadvantage.
The cultivation kills weeds and keeps
the moisture from escaping. While
corn uses as much moisture ns a grain
crop, the cultivation given It reduces
the amount of molsturo that evapor
ates from the soil In this wny mak
ing the corn crop n molsturo saver.
The corn crop hns the advantage of
Booson of growth, enabling It to pro
duce more per acre than the grain
crops and the advantnge of lending
Itself to being cultivated, which saves
moisture i(nd kills Weeds, mnklng It
both a good producer nnd a crop to
prepare the land for other crops.
CUT SWEET CL0VER.F0R SEED
Difficult to Harvest Because Seeds
Mature Unevenly Stock Eat
Some of Straw.
Sweet clover Is difficult to hnrvest
for seed because It matures Its soeds
unevenly. The best lime to cut It for
seed Is when half the seed pods hnvo
turned dnrk, and any grain or com
harvester will bundle tho clover nice
ly. Tho straw Is usually woody, but
stock will consume some of It. When
It Is too coarse for feed It makes
mighty good material to plow under.
PLOWING IS EASIEST WORK
Most Satisfactory Task When Imple
ment and All Attachments Are
Adjusted.
Flowing Is one of the easiest and
most satisfactory Jobs on tho farm,
thnt Is, If the plow, with nil Its attach
ments are In correct position nnd the
soil Is In the proper condition to bb
plowed, .

MILL GIRLS MARRY YOUNG I
Many Villages In the South Where
There Are Absolutely No Old
Maids Found.
- A village without nn old maid
pounds somewhat like n fulry tale, but
several such places exist down below
the Mason and Dixon line.
"All the women get married h the
mill villages of South Cnrollim, nud
at nn early age," says a Y. W. O. A.
Industrial secretary stationed at Green
ville, where she works among tho girls
In 13 mills.
Perhaps economic tndepender.ee has
something to do with It, as marriage
Is not looked upon by the girls as n
meal ticket, but as a flfty-flfty proposl
tlon. The wives do not give up their
jobs but keep right on working. ,
Thut the textile Industry In South
Carolina absorbs n largo number of
women ns well as men workers Is not
surprising considering the fact that
there are as many as 1& mills In 20
counties, with the population of the
state estimated ut l.oOO.OlO people, 02,-00-1
are mill workers, and 100,208 aro
dependents on mill pay. The valu
ation of tho mills Is $75,000,000 and the
weekly pny roll Is $1,000,000.
Wings of riches are ns unsntlsfnc
