Rarnie for the south.

The little pamphlet published BY
Prof. S. Warehouse, of Washington
university, on the cultivation of ramie
should have wide circulation in the
south. The professor shows that the
plant can be cultivated with profit in
the gulf states. The soil and climate of
Mississippi and Alabama are az much
adapted to the growth Of ramie as are
those of France, and in France a net
profit OF elOO an acre on the plant is no.
unusual. s: r.
Ramie fiber is claimed BY. its friends
to be stronger than hemp, as fine a.
cotton as glossy as silk, cheaper
than linen and more durable than
any of its rivals. It is used
with them all and also With wool
in the manufacture of dry goods and
clothing. That there is demand for
the fiber is seen from China's large ex.
port trade in the article, amounting to
500. 600, 600 pounds year
Those who question our ability to
successfully compete with cheap
labor country like China in the manu-.
facture Of ramie fiber should remember
that our improved machinery is much
greater advantage than China's cheap
labor. The preparation Of three pounds
OF ramie fiber is days labor for ono
man in that country, while here one
man with a machine can turn out 500
pounds day.-St Louis Republic.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

VERY little ventilation Ia needed IN
winter.
UNcLEAN eggs should always b
washed or wiped clean when gathered.
WHEN eggs are to be stored for long
keeping they should b wiped clean,
not washed.
Roosrs should always be on the same
level or the fowls will crowd to the
highest ones, leaving the lower ones
useless. T
FEArHEA plu cxing is often begun
when the poultry have nothing else 70
keep them busy.
WHILE some lime is good for fowls Il
should be given in their food. rs there
il danger of their getting too much.
DURING the winter one Of tho best
foods that can Be provided for change
Is sprouted grains Take almost any
kind of grain, soak it over night in
warm water, pour OF the water in the
morning and keep damp until It
sprouts The advantage with ducks is
that they are free from lice. II the

You will note that I have given the
lambs the precedence, as they have tho
first place and highest honors always
at Lakeside Park farm. The pens arc
made by string of racks extending
the length Of the barn on either side of
the l2-foot feeding alley. and divided
by hurdles running from the racks to
the side Of the barn. These hurdles
are made of light lumber. and when
not in use are hung up overhead out Of
the way. Two men can clear this en-
tire space. 50 as to make one gigantic

Its Value.

How to Improve the Stock and Enhance
Its Value.
The improvement of any stock dc.
ponds upon one fundamental principle;
breeding only from the best Improve.
|'nients in ,all::things can only be pro.
duced in this.way. In poultry breed.
Ing, as well as in other things. there is
aAH4Ys room for improvement. This
IS most noticeable in the farm poultry.
but There has never been a bird raised
~ the fancier that has reached per
fectlon, SO there is still room for i'm
provement even among the most. scien-
tific breeders Of the country.
The improvement of farm poultry
is of vast importance, and the
sooner the farmer realizes this the
sooner will he find the egg production
and weight of the fowls increase. If
eggs are what is wanted the size, of the
fowl has little to do with it., but IL
market fowls are wanted the size and
weight has about all to do with it.
How to improve farm poultry is the
question? The quickest and most sue
cessful way Of improvement, in our
opinion, is to do away with all the COM
moner mongrel stock, and keep only
pure bred. A stock of pure-brcd fowls
are much easier bred and reared, within
the bounds of perfection, than a lot of
mongrelS. But even with bred
stock care should be taken in breeding
lest they degenerate, and by in and in
breeding they become no better than
the commonest stock. There are some
farmers who have an aversion to keep
ing pure-bred stock, and to such we
would say. you are the very ones who
should first begin the improvement Of
Jq1 common fowls II in the spring,
say about February l, you would select
only the best Of your pullets, get =
strong. vigorous, healthy cock from
some of your neighbors, and breed
these, you would find the chicks
from them to be much healthier,
grow faster, mature earlier. and make
better fowls than the parent stock
Then the following season select only
the hest Of these. Get another male
bird and breed in the same way. In
this way You are adding to the utility
of your stock and they will become
more productive and profitable. We
believe that if q pure-bred male is
bought every year that it will more
than pay for the cost in the weight
Of spring chickens 1t market time,
besides otherwise, improving the
stock, In our own breeding we
never bred q male bird to his own
progeny. We would rather pay IS or
$40 more for.s male. bird than 50 do
this. It is also much better to breed
cocks to pullets and cockerels to hens
than to breed cockerels to pullets, and
for our own breeding we prefer hens
TWO or three years old. While old hens
ire not SO profitable as winter layers
he chicks Matched from their eggs are
much stronger and. develop into larger
ind finer fowls.-W. E. Kemp, in

HERE AND THERE.

The farmer who has to stop wort
to haul wood during the rush of earl
spring work gives weeds and grass /
decided advantage.
While ordinarily the cow needs but
little exercise, yet generally it will b.
found best to turn out the cows for an
hour or two every day during the win.
ter that the weather will permit.
During the year 1898 there were
marketed of cattle as follows: Chicago,
s,13s, 4o6; Kansas City, 1,66o, sO7; Oma.
ha, S5a,45s; St Louis. 7s6, ass. This
makes total for the four markets OF
6,403, 1854.
When turnips are fed to mich cows
it should be at milking time. Those
who have carefully experimental in
this matter say that the turnip flavor
will be eliminated before the next
milking, and will not appear in the
milk. S-~

POTATO CULTURE.


01ovoPs voRDas Manure In the Raslng -
the r1bssS
my next neighbor, A. d. Crov, one
OF our very best farmers, had field of
potatoes right next to one Of mine this
season. They were early potatoes. the
same rs mine, and planted the same
day. Roth fields were originally
cleared 1T the same time and belonged
to one farm. They were very similar
In character of soil. Mr.. Croy has kept
dairy all these years that the
writer has been farming with
clover. and has never had heavy
crops of clover until recently. Last
fall and winter he drew manure on to
his field. which was timothy sod with
little clover in it, giving it a heavy
covering. My field had the clover roots
and second-crop clover plowed under.
Now. the fact that he used q planter
would make some difference with the
result; but his soil was SO dry that
about the only injury came from
less perfect stand. Again. have
been growing potasoes for many
years in regular rotation on my
land. while friend {. has grown
only two crops before on his. Now,
the result was $40 bushels on q little
over four acres of his land that was
heavily MANFRED. 0I2 bushels on $40
acres on my clover land. Mr.. C. kept
his seed in the pit, the same as mine,
cut to one eye, and in tillage it would
be hard to do any better than he did
There is no use in being modest about
it. We just simply get there by the
use of clover. Yes, 912 bushels this dry
year, and with the present prices. is
good enough.-Cor. A. B. c., of Potato
