A Industry That IL Gradually Receiving
More Intelligent Attention.
In looking over the southern agri.
cultural papers it Is quite noticeable
that more and more attention IL being
given to deirying. The possibility OF
successful dairying in the south is no
longer question since modern appli'
ances and better methods in the manu-
featuring and handling of dairy prod
ucts have changed the order Of
many things. With the latest sp-
pliances, temperature becomes a
less important factor. Quite re.
eentIy l noticed the theory
put forth that the moist air OF the
south has same advantages over tho
drier air Of the north which in meas
ure overcomes the lattcr's advantage
of n lower temperature. The boun-
daries of the dairy district seems to be
widening every year and it will not be
long before the south will be in no
mean place in the dairy progress. The
low price of cotton. the failure Of some
of the fruit crops, and a general ten.
dency to more diversified farming are
some of the factors in this movement.
1--WE want to have our butter or other
produce ready for market when it is
in the greatest demand" said a speak
er at an eastern farmers institute
That is terse recognition OF the fact
that the farmer must be dealer not
less than producer, and this is par
ticularly true of the dairyman. 1t is
not simply question of how to make
a good article of butter, but when to
put it on the market and In what form.

ficient advantages in way of higher
prices to compensate for the increased
labor and difficulty, and winter dairy.

HERE AND THERE.

The great diversity of the soil and
climate of the south fits it admirably
for diversified agriculture.
One feed of corn per day is good
for fowls of all kinds. 1t keeps the
gizznrd busy and stimulates the vital
functions. Too much corn over-stimu.
lates and predisposes to fairness.
An agricultural paper asks, why
are chicks raised by hens harder than
those raised in brooders?" Simply be-
cause the hens raise only the hardest
of the brood, the others all dying
early.
For the first time in history,
Mississippi farmers are shipping corn
to the northwest. 1t is reported that
if the railroads will put corn elevators
at their stations, the farmers will GO
exte nsively into the production of corn
for shipping.
"A very fair gain can be secured
with good thrifty pigs by giving them
good pasturage, plenty of water, and q
good stable. The feeding of a very
light ration of grain, or good slops
night and morning will materially in
crease this gain, while still more lib
eral feeding, giving about all that they
can eat up, clean at each meal, will Sc.
cure the best growth.
Whenever farmers have to resort
to commercial fertilizers. they become
objects of sympathy. Farmers should
produce everything they need at home,
and this includes manure. 1t has been
demonstrated that farms fertility
can be made not only self-spstaining
but increased by judicious rotation
and the application of home made fer
tilizers.
1t is high time some patriotic horse
breeders in America should develop Q

Meat Makes tho Hens Lay.

The most essential substance for pro.
noting egg production is nitrogen.
This is best fed to the hens in the
shape of lean meat. If meat could DO

one pound to twelve hens, there would
be such an increase in the production
of eggs as to really lessen the cost of
feeding That is, there would be suffi.
cient eggs secured, over and above the
number that would be obtained with
out the use of meat, to not only
pay tor the meat, but to increase
the profits. And this gain would easily
come, two extra eggs a week paying
the bill, as the cheapest kind of meat

One day Carl was trudging along
with basket of clean clothes which
his mother had just washed and sent
home. He was droll little figure,
with his chubby legs in short lxnicker-
bockers, and his round, fat arms in
sleeves much too small and tight for
them.
Some boys playing marbles on the
pavement were quite amused at this
comical sight, and they began to laugh
and shout: Sausage bags!"
Now, Carl did not understand word,

The Reason Why Pug DOG Stole little
Girls Doll.
"Tommy, where is Toodle?"
Tommy sat up on his hind legs and
hung his paws beseechingly. That was
his way of saying: II don't know
where my dear Toodle is myself, but il
you will find her for me l will be very
much obliged"
Tommy Is a pug dog and Toodle is
his dolly. He loves her as much as Ii
he were a little girl; its mistress has
never allowed other little boys to laugh
at him for playing with doll.
1t was his mistress who was asking
him about Toodle now; she was pref
ty young lady named Miss Fanny.
Tommy" she asked again, this time
very slowly and solemnly, "where is
Toodlc? Poor Toodlc. Tommy doesn't
love Toodle Where is Toodle?"
Tommy saw she was not going to
find his doll for him, so he gave a sharp
little bark as he got down onto his
four legs again and ran out of the
house.
1t was in the summer and he was liv-
ing in a cottage on a quiet seashore
where the front doors stood open all
day long. Tommy knew all his neigh
bors and now he trotted over to the
next house. There there was a
little girl named Mabel. Mabel was
playing with her doll Amy. She was
bigger and prettier than poor Toodle,
who was only rubber.
Have you seen Toodle?" asked
Tommy, but Mabel had never learned
dog talk, and she only dropped her doll
and began to run away, crying: tom
my's barking at me, Pm 'fraid."
Then Tommy did dreadful thing;
he picked up Amy in his teeth and
broke for home with her as hard as he
could go, and when Mabel saw that she
began to cry in good earnest.
Tommy went straight to Miss Fanny
and showed her the baby he had kid
naped, but he began to run again
whenever she tried to come near him;

JAPANESE WAR STORY.
How . Bravo Little Ruglcr Rallied Ills
Flying Comrades.

How . Bravo Little Ruglcr Rallied His
Flying Comrades.
Every war brings out stories of hero
ism that last long after many other In
cidents of the conflict are forgotten.
Boyish bravery In the heat and smoke
of battle in particular is always told
of, and seems to have more distinction
than that of the older soldier who is
trained to do his duty under all circum.
stances, as the New York Times says.
Already from the Japan-China war has
come a story of a brave little bugler
that is likely to be told over and over
again. 1t was on one of the battle
fields, which have not been frequent in
this war, when the Japanese troops
were somewhat panic-strickcn and
were retreating before the Chinese,
that the little bugler was mortal1y
wounded. Stricken and dying as he
was, the brave lad did not forget his
duty. He saw the brave troops flying,
and knew that the Chinese were gain
ing victory. With splendid courage
he raised himself, and grasping his
bugle sounded loud and stirring
charge" The troops heard and raj
lied under its message, charged valiant
ly in obedience to it, and the day was
theirs. But the little bugler had died
as they fought, and did not even know
that his effort had been successful.
His comrades knew, however, what no
had done, and they bore him from tho
field In triumph, and already the "uta,"
q poem of honor, has been written In
his memory, while his mother has ar
rayed herself in robes Of state and
honor, and wound her hair with flow
ers, the proudest woman in the empire,
that her only son should have thus dis.
himself.
