FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT is an old axiom that he is farthest
from market who has nothing to sell.
Less grumbling about poor mark cts
and more attention paid to growing
something to sell in them would help
some farmers out immensely.
If you intend to use the fungicides
and insecticides preparations must be
made early. There will be no time to
get ready after the season opens, Bios
SONS must be sprayed as soon as they
appear and a day or two in delay may
cause the loss of portion of the fruit.
THE rot on grapes can only be pre-
vented by vigilant work. The debris
around the vines must be raked up and
burned, and the full use of air-slaked
lime made on the ground, while the
sprayer must be put in use not only
early out often during the whole sea-
son.
If farmers were as careful to get rid
of poor stock as to get rid of the weeds
there would be great advantage
gained A scrub animal is on par
with 6 weed. 1t takes nourishment
from better stock, and occupies room
that could be used more profitably
with something else.
THE effect of feeding linseed and
cottonseed meal are plainly shown in
the quality OF the manure. Both sub.
stances are rich in nitrogen and min.
eral matter, and form valuable add.
ton to the ration where heterogeneous
elements are lacking, In proportion
TO feeding value, as we'll as the value
impaired to the manure, it is doubtful
if any foods are cheaper.

the floor is full of cracks it may be
harmful in permitting cold draughts Of
air to come up from below. rendering
the animal very uncomfortable This
may be avoided somewhat by the ust
of plenty of bedding, but the safer plar
is to have the space under the floor
tight in order to prevent draught.
FARMERS who use artificial fertilizer:
are convinced that it is an advantage
to expend money in that direction, NJ
matter how much manure they MAY
have. The fertilizers are a complet,
addition to the fertility of the farm

products of the farm itself. Unles.

A HANDY PEN FOR HOGS.

above the ground at the height of the
wagon box for convenience in loading
and unloading hogs. The entrance
to the pen is by chute from the
ground, allowing the. hogs to run up
and down at will to feed on dry floor,
and to capture them when wanted.
When hog learns to seize poultry it
is capital place to fatten and dispatch
as soon as possible. 1t is a rare thing
for poultry to thieve from the hogs
when shut up in this manner. This
pen will be found good investment
rs it will save much labor with the
hogs and also save poultry from being
eaten by them, and the floor makes a
good shelter from storms. The draw

HANDY PEN FOR HOGS.

Its Merits Defined by the Man Who In
vented It.
We have hog pen that has proved
most successful, and, for the benefit of
the farming world, hereby define its
merits. The pen is made in the corner
of the hog lot A convenient size Is
6x12 feet. Extra posts are planted in
the ground feet from the line fence,
then three 2xs joists bolted or spiked
to the posts. On these joists the floor
is laid on 2x12 pieces. The fence is to
be built with boards on the inside of
the posts for the greatest strength. At
each end is left doorway. The doors
slide up and down between cleats
nailed to the posts. This pen is built

Whether to broadcast the manure or
use it in the hills depends on the guam
tity of manure and the kind of SOIL On
light sandy soil the best results are
gained when the manure is used in the
hill. 1t is more profitable, however,
on ordinary loan soils, TO broadcast
the manure, even if all of it must be
spread on small surface. Using the
manure in the hill allows it to be used
to better advantage over more land,
but the benefits /, the soil are not as
lasting as when the manure is broad

Funerals in CAPRI.

The manners and customs of the
peoples of southern Europe are infinite
ly more picturesque than those of the
races of the north, so that all public
functions and ceremonies are invested
with stateliness and glow of color
quite wanting among the latter. This
holds good more especially among the
inhabitants of the old kingdom of Ma
pies, where even the funerals are not
the gloomy ceremonials they are with
us, the robes of the officiating priests,
and the curious hoods of the mourning
monks who head the procession bear
ing lighted tapers, adding a peculiar in
terest to the scene. Hardly man re-
mains uncovered, and many Of the
lookers-on fall on their knees and re-
peat their prayers as the procession
passes by through the tagged streets
of the island town.-Harper's Bazaar.

POULTRY HOUSE PLAN.

Convenient and Economical Two story
Structure.
There has always been a prejudice
against two-story poultry houses, be-
cause Of the disadvantages encountered
in keeping fowls so far above ground.
That there is a saving in building mate
rial and subsequent repairs, in making
use of such buildings, there can be no
question. Only one-half as much roofing
is necessary, which is an item worth con-
sidering where there are SO many build
ings on farm that they seem to make
the matter of continual shingling a
necessity.

two-story poultry house with each floor
on level with the ground--a plan that
can be advantageously followed where
the LAY of the land is suitable. The

around the ends and back side of the
lower story should be well made, so as
to keep the interior from becoming

any other suitable material, where
stones are plentiful

When the Ferndale was wrecked
on the Washington coast recently the
entire crew went down with her, ex-
cept three sailors, who owe their lives
to the great bravery of Mrs Edward
White Mrs. White lives on the beach
near where the wreck occurred and
with surprising herosm she waded out

"A good story of Henry Ward
Beecher is told by Whitelaw Reid:
"When Mr.. Beecher had avowed his
faith in the advantages of having women
speak in church, and at the next prayer
meeting prosy sister had taken up all
the time to no purpose, and at the next
had done the same, and at the next the
same, and at the fourth had been, if
possible more tedious and oppressive
than ever before, Mr.. Beecher rose,
with solemn air, as she took her seat,
and observed, in argumentive tone:
Nevertheless, brethren and sisters, be-
lieve in women speaking in prayer
meeting"

He was in the yard training young

dogs teeth, slightly bruising the
vein that runs down the center of the
hand. Saturday night his hand be-
gan to swell, and a doctor was sent
for. His right arm kept on swelling
until ii actually burst open from the
wrist to the shoulder.
He was i'll less than twenty. four
hours. After being placed in the cof-
fin, the remains turned black. 1t is a
case that battles the ablest medical
skill in Little Rock.

ADAMS STATION.
Tobacco Season over-The Old People
and Their Hospitality.

Adams Station, Robertson county,
is one of the most quiet and yet busy
little towns on the Nashville and
Evansville line of the l.. 4 N. road.
The tobacco dealers there have
wound up their season of packing
and shipping.
Sam Morrow put up 800 hogsheads
aud Thomas DUNK Edwards priced
100 hogsheads, all of. which has been
shipped to the GAINESVILLE market,
besides something over 400 shipped
here by the farmers.
Adams Station is good business
point; located in good country and
surrounded by the best people in the
world.
Squire Owsley is the big merchant
of the place and is very popular with
the people.
The writer met with john Stroud
there yesterday, an Oklahoma BOOM
err, who had just arrived on a visit to
old friends whom he had not seen
since he left amp Boone thirty years
ago to fight for Southern independ-
ence. Time and country have used
him well. He says he went to Okla
homa to die with the consumption,
but the cool, dry air of that country
had taken it all out of him. He is
now robust man, with not a gray
hair in his head.
1t Is wonderful to see how the
wind and climate of that country
transform a man. 1t is worth some
thing to see the trained Oklahoma
boomer. John Stroud's tongue runs
loose at both ends--one end on the
Oklahoma side and the other on the
Chickasaw side, while his feet
danced on the strip. 1t makes an
ordinary Robertson county mans
head swim to hear him talk.
We visited Mr.. and Mrs. Wash
Ayers, two happy old people who
can never do enough for the comfort
of their friends. 1t is delightful to
strife that old fashioned Robertson
county hospitality still in vogue in
that section of the county. Mrs.
Ayers (Aunt Nancy, as they call herr
is daughter of John Johnson, one
of the old time solid citizens who
figured conspicuously in the stirring
events of that vicinity seventy five
years ago. She is most interesting

PLEASANT OCCASION.
The Musicale at M. O. Northington's VIII
La at the Springs.

There was large gathering Of
young people at M. G. Northington's
summer villa at Idaho Springs last
night. They were there to witness
the rendering of what proved very
pleasing program. The host and
hostess and the Misses Northington
received their friends very cordially,
and while there was a large crowd
everybody was seated comfortably.
The piazzas and parlors held a lively
crowd of youngsters. The exercises
were divided into two parts. The
first was an exhibition by the little
girls, and proved very interesting
and amusing. An end of the porch
was curtained off and used as a stage.
The audience were greatly amused
by the comic songs and Rotations of
the little ones. Those who took a
prominent part were Genie Rollow,
Effie FARRELL, Mamie Northington,
Myrtle Wilcox, Mary Northington,
Bertha FARRELL, Harry FARRELL, Harry
Northington. The little people de.
serve credit for the excellent manner
in which they rendered their parts;
and theywere warmly applauded.
The second part of the entertain
ment was presented by the grown
ones, and consisted principally of vo-
cal and instrumental music, inter-
spersed occasionally with a recitation;
of the latter Miss Ora Bell Northing-
ton rendered clever satire, in which
the knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows
and Masons present all took a pecu-
liar interest. Ned TURNKEY made a
temperance grafton.
Those who took prominent parts
were Misses Addie and Nellie Will
son, Mamie TURNKEY, Miss Boone,
Mrs. farrell, Burt Wilson, Joe Jar
rell, John Rudolph, Dewitt Farmer,
Norman Smith, DIR. Cabaniss, DIR.
Sutphin, Mrs. Herdman and others
perhaps not now recalled. The Mis-
SEES Wilson are entitled to the thanks
of all for the interest in the entain-
ment. Its success was greatly due to
their efforts.
