Are there any cracks in the poul-

to be when winter comes on.
1t is the heavy horse that is bring

faith in the draft horse has never wav-
cred.
Help the poor, ragged hens to get
on their winter suits by the addition
of a little oil meal or fresh meat to
their daily ration.
Wheat is not yet cheap enough to
feed to Il poor quality of stock. No
food is cheap enough to feed to such
stock profitably.
Feed literally, but not wastefully.
Good preparation by grinding, ifgrain,
or cutting, if fodder and stalks, in the
ensilage cutter, is a most economical
proceeding.
Don't keep your boys out OF the
public free school next year to hoe or
pick four-cent cotton. Educate them,
and they will know better than to
raise it at such price when they grow
up.
Use medicine and stimulants very
moderately among your poultry. Re.

FARMER AND PLANTER
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
The Farmers of the South are beginning

to See Where the Profit Lies.
So much has. time and again, been
said upon the subject, that to say more
would seem to be supertluous. 1t is by
''line upon line, precept upon preeept,
that lasting impressions are made
Already the farmers of the south are
practicing diversified farming to a
much greater extent than ever before,
and it is to the constant urging and ex-
horting and coaXing of the agricultur-
al press, more than to ANYTHING else,
that the credit is due. Those farmers
who are diyersifying their farming
most, we find are the most prosperous
Those who have no bacon. nor lard,
nor molasses to buy, do not feel
the grinding pressure of low
price cotton anything like as
much as those who have to buy
these things. The farmers who,
while supplying their own wants with
the above-named necessaries, have also
raised surplus to sell (as they almost
invariably do when they diversity, can

Farming, from business standpoint.
is simple thing. 1t simply means to
make more than you spend, in order to
be successful. If you raise all, or nearly
all that you and your family eat, you
surely will not have to buy much in the
way of groceries. IT, while you are
fattening two hogs for your own larder,
you just put in two more to consume
your overplus of grain, slops, ETC.. you
will be long on pork, and able to lay
by few dollars for nucleus. If you
look well after your little herd of cat
tie, you will have one or two beef
steers to sell in the fall, and this will
be an addition to your little hoard.
The same may be said of potatoes
raise a surplus to sell. Raise lots of
turnips, too. Have something to take
TO town to sell whenever you go.
An acre or two in broom corn will
not cost much labor to cultivate, and
will pay well for the time you spend
on it. If you live in locality where
you have few acres of moist bottom
land, plant a patch of ribbon cane,
and make supply of the incest
homemade sirup You ever ate.
On a two-aere patch of cane you
should. make from 100 to $50 gal
Ions of cero. (Sirup from which nc
sugar is talSen.) You can readily sell
all you have over your own home sup
ply, for from sixty cents to seventy
five cents per gallon, which will give
you a good profit on its cost.
This is the sort of farming that will
keep AL hands pleased" who follow
it up. Our forefathers farmed after
this style, and were, as rule, as hap
py as lords. In our time, the southern
farmer has straged away from the land
marks of true husbandry lured by the,
at one time, high price of single
product. To-day he is suffering in the
flesh for his folly; but he is repenting
and coming around to the correct or
thodox doctrine. Then let us rejoice
and be thankful for his future hopeful
outlook, and continue to be pleased

ABOUT A GIRL CALLED BUNNY.

Happy little Bunny
Romps through all the day,
Finds the world funny,
Good old place TO play.
When she's tired her mother
Rocks her girl to sleep,
And the blessed angels
Watch her slumbers deep.
When she wakes she laughs and
Tumbles from her bed,
With her bright eyes smiling
From her tousled head;
Isn't very patient
While her hair Is curled-
Wants to hurry and renew
Friendship with the world.
World Ia glad to see her
Missed her ell the night
While she royed In dreamland
With her eyes closed tight
Ttsn't very strange that
Hearts, howe'er SO wild,
Open wide their doors to her
Sweet and happy child.
