Negro Cotton Raisers Want Their Rents
Reduced.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 9.-The negro
tenants Of cotton planters in Mississippi,
Tennessee aud Louisiana have proceeded to
make formal demand for reduction in
the rent they pay on lands, on the
ground that this ought to be
done in consequence OF the lower
price of cotton. The demand is
for reduction of 25 per cent in the rent.
Meetings have already been held and COM
mittees appointed to inform the landlords
OF their demands. Most of the ne
groes work their lands on shares.
that is, give so much Of the produce, and as
cotton has fallen in price their rent has
been reduced, but those who pay cash still
pay the same rent, and it is against this
they protest and want change made.

Walks Between Farm Buildings.

The grounds about most farm houses
are poorly supplied with walks. Some
times there Is no way to approach the
house from the street or to go from the
house to the well or farm buildings, eX-
cept to travel over ground that is not
covered with turf. During large pOr-
ton of the year, and especially in the
winter, 1t IS necessary to pass through
mud or snow. As a consequence damp
feet are among the penalties attached to
passing out of the house during unpleaS-
ant weather. OF course, it is very diff
cult to keep the floors of a dwelling clean
when the occupants are obliged to walk
through mud every time they go out.
There should be good walks leading
from the street to the entrances to the
house, and to the well and the various
out-buildings. They not only promote
comfort but save q large amount of work
in taking care of tho house. Very good
and serviceable walks may be made by
mailing plank to ScantlingS placed on
edge. The walks may be from two to
three feet wide. according to the width
of the planks. Walks constructed in this
manner are easily kept free from snow,
as they may bc swept off as often as is
necessary. The only objection to them
is the difficulty in driving across them.
This difficulty may be obviated by rails
ing the driveway for teams or by plac-
ing inclined plankS or tmbers against
the sides of the walks. Good walks may
also be made of fiat stone or gravel con-
fined between pieces of timber. To pre-
vent the timberS from spreading they
should be fastened together at suitable
distances by means of croSs-pieces. The
gravel should be clean and the surface
of the walk should be slightly rounded

less the same has been thoroughly
cleansed of all refuse, plowed or dug up

Don't forget that closed pens, sheds,

Don't water hogs from running

Don't place your hog pens, or runs

as providing the materials for the pro-
duction of eggs. For very small chicks,
bone meal is better, and the finer the
hone meal the easier it is digested by the
chicks. Some persons buy the ground
bone, sift it, use the coarse part for hens
and the finer parts for chicks. Fresh
bones are much better than bones that
are dry, as they contain certain amount
of meat and gelatine. Bones are very
cheap, considering their value, as the
hens will not eat very large quantity at
one time, but if fresh bones are broken
or pounded to sizes that can easily be
swallowed, the hens will consider them
quite a treat and consume a large
quantity. They can be broken much
more readily when heated in an oven.-

IsTatf Fowls

There are many who agree with the
Germantown TclcQrdph in its statement
that cross bred fowls are far better and
more hardy from the she'll than the pure
bred. Following are some of the benefits
named by this authority: We can com
bine good traits. The brown Leghorn
lays the smallest egg, the black Spanish
the largest. Where merely a CONNER
Cial egg trade Is to be reached. this cross
has its marked effects. We may not
equal the Spanish eggs as an average.
but We make up a sort of middle size
just the size to sell well in market We
can combine early maturity with plump
growth. The ASiatic fowl grows slowly.
but it counts in weight. 1t would take
too long 70 get ii 10 a broier If left all
alone: but il We cross a quick grower,
the Leghorn, for instance. on these
ASiatic hens. we get the quick growth
and the body, too. This IS indeed de-
cided advantage.
Farmers. as a rule. have a collection
OF all kinds of fowls. Fanciers call
them duughillS. Showmen class them as
mongrelS. But be they what they will
If the males We're killed off and pure-bre
fowls substituted, there would be more
eggs, more spring chickens, and better

Poultry i'm France,

In France the fattening of geese for
market is the business of men. who do
nothing else. They contract with the
dealers to get their stock in marketable
condition at a certain time for price
agreed upon. France is considered the
largest poultry market in the world. the
keeping of poultry being done in man
ner that makes it pay. 1t is not uncom-
mon to see the French peasant driving
into market flock of several hundred
geese, selling them as we would So many
sheep or hogs. There are also many
who go among the farmers, pluck the
geese feathers, and market them on per
centage; this gives employment and a
living to many poor people.
