Bill Arp on Farming.

| II is wonder to me, says Bill Arp in
the Atlanta Constitution, that everybody
don't go to farming. Lawyers and doc
tors have to sit about town and play check
ers, and talk about politics, and wait for
somebody to quarrel or fight, or get sick ;
clerks and bookkeepers figure and multi
ply and count, until they 90 to counting
stars. and the flies on the ceiling, and the
/ peas in the dish, and the flowers on the
/ papering; the jeweler sits by his window
all the year round, working on little
wheels, and the mechanic strikes the same
kind of lick every day. These people
do not belong to themselves; they are all
penned up like convicts in chain gang
they cant take aday nor an hour for recre-
alton, for they are the servants of their
employers. There is no profession
that gives man such freedom, such lati
tude and such variety of employment as
farming.
| There's no monotony upon the farm.
There's something new every day, and
the changing work brings into action eve-
~ muscle in the human frame. We pillow
and hoe, and harrow and SOW, and gather
it in at harvest time. We look after he
horses and cows, the pigs and shows. and
the rams and lambs, and the chickens
and the turkeys and the geese. We cut
our wood, and raise our own bread and
meat, and don't have to be stingy OF it
like city folks. A friend who visited us
not long ago wrote back from the town
that his CRATE don't seem bigger than the
crown Of his hat since he sat by our great
big friendly fireplace.
l may be mistaken, but il seems to me
little higher grade of happiness to look
out upon the green field Of wheat, and the
leafng trees, and the blue mountains in
the distance, and hear the dove cooling to
her mate, and the whippoorwill sing
welcome in the night, and hunt flowers
and hubby blossoms with the children,
and make whistles Tor 'em and hear 'em
blow, and see 'em get alter Jumpn
frog or a garter snake, and hunt hens
nests. and paddle in the branch and GET
dirty and wet all over. and watch their
penitent and subdued expression when
they 90 home, as Mrs. looks at 'em with
amusement and exclaims: mercy on me

COOping, Feeding. and Care of
Poultry.

At four to six months old separate the
cockerels from the flock, and feed them
on mashed boiled potatoes, with meal and
barley and whole corn, thus fitting them
for the shambles. The pullets at five
months old place in your breeding-pens,
where they will soon begin to repay you
for their care. In nearly all the cases
where we find people breeding in this
practical way, we find them using only
what we call native or mongrel stock.
This, we believe. is a mistake. for the
thoroughbred is worth as much, and many
of the breeds far more, for this practical
work. Should all use the thoroughbred,
killing as they do now, one-third for poul-
try, using the larger number left to pro-
duce eggs tor the market, using as breed
ers only the best, selling only for breed
ing purposes when fair price $3.50 to
$l0.0 each) could be realized they would
in this way raise the standard and realize
that in every II fowls they have had the
value of a COW, which, cared for as well,
pays as we'll.
Show us farmer who is conscious OF
capital invested in his fowls, and we will
show you farmer who makes money out
of them. The greater the number raised,
the higher the price you will be able to
command for the best individual speci-
mems This has proved true in cattle.
1t is every day being repeated in fowls.
Twenty-Five years ago we sold Light
Bfahmas at Sl.00 each. and the price was
considered fair one. the native then sell
ing for 50 cents. When the price increased
to S25.OO per trio, it became the town
talk but in the past three years, when
we have sold cockerels at 300, and trios
at $3.50. it has ceased to be surprise,
and really it is not in keeping with bulls
at Sl7, 900 each. We expect to live to see
specimens of superior excellence sold as
high as $3.50. Already, in England, $500
trio has been realized.-Our Century

THE COMING MAN.

Among the many attainments which We
may reasonably expect the coming man to

The possibility Of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention Of emf
neut scientists, and the discovery Of
some compound or elixir capable Of pre-

been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation OF life by
proper care of the health, one Of the
