High Roosts an Abomination.

High rOOsts are an abomination. The
large, heavy hens can only reach the
high roosts with difficulty, and they are
liable to be dislodged from their posi-
ton, thrown off and injured by the
fall Make the roosts Iowa foot from
the floor being sufficiently highland
have all the roosts on level, instead
of making them step-lile; that is, one
higher than the other. BUNDLE foot,
lameness of the joints and other all
ments are often due to high roosts, and
it is to their seeking lofty perches that
young turkeys are usually affected
with swollen feet and legs. 1t is really
doubtful if roosts are at all necessary
in poultry house, as those who have
tried the plan of providing litter for
the hens and cleaning it away daily,
report that the hens keep in much bet
ter condition, being less liable to
draughts of air, and are seldom lame.
1t is an experiment worthy of trial,
as the removal of the roosts will rem
der the interior of a poultry house more
roomy and convenient-Farma and Fire

Wide Awake for November.

1t is worth everybody's while to buy
the November Wide Awake, for three
notable features: ''The Boyhood Of
Hawthorne" by his relative, Mrs. Rich
ard Manning of Salsm, Mass, which is
full of family anecdote and gives a
photograph of the first portrait painted
of Hawthorne; the closing chapters OF
Margaret Sidney's famous serial, "Five
Little Peppers Grown Up;" and
''Nolan," ballad by Mrs. Laura E.
Richards, giving the tragic story of the
bearer of Raglan's dispatch to Lord
Lucan's Light Brigade" when they
made the famous charge" at Balak-
lava; sure to become favorite with
boys for Defamation Day. Margaret
Spencer has a capital story, 'Gladys
McLean's Halloween Party" Mrs.
Kate Upson Clark has Thanksgiving
tale, Mistress Esteem Elliott's Molas-
ses Cake; "Old Adams, the BearTam-
er" is bit of Western biography by
Charles Howard Shinn. William Zach
ary Gladwin has good story of a
plucly boy, called Johnny O'Dowd's

anecdote, and readable poems and
articles are contributed by Mrs. S. NJ.

AN EXCELLENT PLAN.
Benefits Incidental to Keeping q varis
of Live Stock.

Benefits Incidental to Keeping q Variety
of Live Stock.
One of the benefits derived from
keeping a variety of stock is that farm
products can be used to better advan-
tage. In growing the necessary grain
more or less straw and fodder wild be
secured, which, if properly managed,
will make a cheap food, and where a
system of rotation is carried on more
or less grass for both pasture ond hay
will be grown.
With good shelter young cattle,
horses or mules can be kept in a good
condition during the winter with very
little grain if they can have plenty Of
fodder, and during the summer grass
in the pasture can be made nearly or
quite their whole feed. While hogs
will make fair growth with good pas
turage it is generally profitable to feed
them some grain even during the sum-
mer. Cattle can be pastured during
the summer and fed largely upon fod-
der during the winter until they are
three years old, and If comfortably
sheltered will need but little grain.
WIN oOu 'doSoI dSC lhCy WILL OC AhA q
fair marketable condition in the fall
when they are three years old.
Horses, mules and sheep can be kept
in the same way and can be made
ready for market with very little
grain. Hogs, however, must be fat
tened largely upon grain, and more or
less grain is needed by the work teams
and milk cows. In raising grain for
them more hay and fodder than will be
needed will be secured, and by pur-
chasing mill feed to go with them all
can be used to good advantage. This
plan admits of having a considerable
acreage seeded down to grass for
pastures and meadows and lessons the
labor considerably. BY feeding all of
the products out on the farm, with the
exception of the wheat, and buying
more or less mill feed to use in connec-
ton with the grain and fodder will
make a great saving, and applying all
of the manure possible the fertility of
the soil can be kept up.
Of course everything that can be
used for feed should be saved and
every advantage be taken to secure all
of the food possible, and then feed out
to the best advantage in order to realize
the largest profit. Prairie Farmer.

Neighborhood influence,

II
Every town or city has Ger.
tain localities which send out a
bad influence. In some cities
this has grown to such an ex-
tent that it was impossible to
find respectable citizens living
there.
Several years ago Fort Worth
had a "Hell's Half Acre.
known to everybody as the most
corrupt of all corrupt localities
in that growing young city.
The municipal authorities made
war upon the tough residents of
that tough community, and
after a while few respectable
families, who were above re-
proach, bought property. There
came a change. Today that
locality is dotted over with
quiet, decent and respectable
homes.
There is a lesson in this for
Durham.
Certain portions ofmany cities
and counties have been kept
back on account of the elements
that predominant, but this is on
account of the better element
allowing the rougher to have
full sway without interference,
because of the idea that any in
reference would be resented,
and injury done on that &C
count. There are very strong
suspicious Of an instance Of that
kind here. But every man, be
he white or black, should al
ways see that the laws Of de-
cency of his community are
fully sustained let the con-
sequences be what they may.
That is patriotism. By SO do
ing the value of property will
be broughtup to a high standard
and the majesty and power Of
the law, and good order, main
tanned.

The General Outlook.

Reports from the different in

cided increase in solid town
building, with less and much
more conservative speculation.
At every point, an immense
number of new buildings, de-
manded by the prospective hay-
ing been changed to an active
citizenship, under construction,
with contracts being signed
every day for more, and still a
greater number actually need
ed. Enterprises secured last
year are going INTO or prepar-
ing to start up in full blast, and
new industries are being secur-
ed. The results of carefully
studied plans during the long
and unprecedently severe win
ter are being brought into full
force. with the consequent effect
of material benefit to all inter
ests involved. Already the proof
is appearing that the temporary
monetary stringency, instead of
hunting, will be Of great benefit
to the South. No forward move
ments have fallen through, but
all each day becoming soldier.
Real estate is obtaining every
day a more distinctive value,
and, while so many lots are not
changing hands, its continual
rise demonstrates the claim that
it is the safest and most prof.
table investment that can be
made.
But "the half has not been
told" Each day reveals some
new treasures which have lain
hidden for ages, and the won-
drous supporting power of the
South cannot be estimated, nor
can the valuable discoveries
which will be made in the fu-
ture. She is entering upon q

A Word with the Farmer


The Danville Register of a re-
cent date says: The turn which
the tobacco trade has taken
within the last two years and
the plans of further cornbina-
tons to control the markets Of
the raw material, demand the
serious consideration Of the to-
bacco interest in our city and
section, the manufacturers,
dealers and planters. We have
repeatedly remarked upon the
combination entered into among
certain manufacturers to con-
troll prices, and the extension OF
that combination. At first the
smokers and cutters suffered in
prices from the formation Of the
monopoly and the lack OF com
petition for the leaf, but recent
ly some of the large plug fac
tories of the West have taken
advantage of the combination
in a way to partly control the
bright wrapper market, and the
result has been that this line of
goods has also suffered q decline
in prices. II is impossible to
predict how far this money
power may be exerted 10 con-
troll the entire tobacco trade.
Of course the monopoly affects
the other leaf market Just as II
does ours. Danville Is the best
market for the raw material
under all circumstances, wheth-
er favorable or adverse.
Now our local manufacture
ers and leaf dealers are unable
TO counterfeit this movement
and romedy this evil. IL isa
question whether the Alliance
can do IL by establishing fac.
tories 70 compete with the mon.
opoly. This experiment might
be tried. But there Is recourse
of action which, If tried. would
certainly protect the planters
and insure better prices tor their
crops, il II did not, Is it might.
break up the combination and
restore the trade To its natural
and proper basis. We mean 4
general agreement and concur
renee among the planters to les
sen the production Of tobacco.
A smaller crop requires smaller
out Of money.
A larger crop Of grain, grass,
ETC., means more at home t0I
live on and less 10 buy. II the
planter has the wherewithal To-
feed him and his stock Of his
own product, he Is in condition
70 hold his tobacco until the
combination wants IL badly
70 pay the value for IL.
This isan important matter and.
we think, demands the serious
consideration Of our whole az
community.
