FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IN farming it is better to raise thing
or an animal than to buy it.
Usually the farmer that drives his
cows with dogs saves time, but loses
butter.
Fertility in an available form is the
basis Of all successful production from
the soil.
Generally it takes longer to develop
a heavy built animal than it does a
light built one.
The most profitable pig is the one that
makes the fastest growth from birth to
maturity.
There is no economy in investing
money i'll good blood unless it can be fol
lowed up by good attention.
1t will aid materially in maintaining
good health with the stock if care is
taken to provide them with plenty OF
pure, fresh water daily. - Farmers

Ore Way to Save Moisture.

How to save as much of the moisture
as possible j. matter which has re-
ceived the consideration of scientists
and farmers. There are methods by
which water may be stored for future
use, but such are not practicable or,
ull farms. There is one way to par
tally prevent loss, which is ia
miliar to all farmers, and that is to
keep the surface of the ground which
is occupied by crop always loose. If
a shower comes much of the water will
flow off the hard ground, but if the soil
Is loose the water will more easily go
down. Constant stirring of the soil
also prevents loss of large portion OF
the moisture already in the soil.

SOFT-SHEllED EGGS.
An Explanation of Number OF Theories
on This Subject.


on This Subject.
There are various theories on this sub"
ject, and the cause can only be guessed
at. Lewis Wright says that soft-shelled
eggs are caused by overlooking, or want
of lime which is hest supplied by cal
cined and pounded oyster shells. Some
times, he says, it is occasioned by fright,
in which case the hens will be all right
in day or two. Filthy nests and YER
min, he thinks, may have something 10
do with the fault. We believe that when
fowl habitIally lays soft-shelled eggs,
as some do, that some functional dis
order is the cause, and not lack of lime,
which has become u stereotyped phrase
in this connection. Such hens should
be put in coop by themselves and eX-
perlmented with. We have never seen
soft-shelled egg here in Georgia,
where there is no limestone, and where
our water is free-stone. But we have
had soft-shelled eggs in Tennessee,
where the water is all limestone, except
the mineral springs. When hen lays
soft-shelied eggs occasionally, she is
simply out of condition some way, and
lack of lime may have nothing to do
with the trouble. If the lime theory is
worth anything, rot only one hen, but
the entire flock would lay soft-shellcd
eggs when lime was lacking. Yet such
thing never happens. Fowls get lime
for egg shells from the food they eat.
And that is The only way they doiget it..

WE'RE THEY MARRIED?
A Young Couple Duly Dissected and

They were coming away from the
theater and they fell to discussing the
young couple who sat in front of them
''They are evidently married." said
the girl in the Persian waist; 81 no,
ticed that they didn't exchange a word
while the curtain was down."
Nonsense; they are merely en-
gagged" said the girl in the black
gown; 81 heard him tell her that he
did not consider the leading lady even
pretty"
"Perhaps they are merely brothe,
and sister, suggested the young man
Of the party.
mo, they weren't" said the girl in
the Persian waist; "he'd have gone out
between the acts if he was only her
brother, while an engaged man
wouldn't want to leave her, and
"a newly-married man would not
dare to-" broke in the girl in the black
gown.
'She took off her hat as soon as she
came in" remarked the young man.
"That looks as if she was married and

"Or that they were not really engaged
yet and she wanted to show him how

in the black gown.
"Or that she was merely conscious OF
having pretty hair" said the girl ia
the Persian waist. "Will you wager q
box of chocolates that they are not ma

bitterly.
"While if they are married." went on
the girl in the Persian waist, ''he--there,

The couple paused before cigar

How to Avoid the Rocks on Which Begin.

ners Usually Split.
The first step is to get good text
book on Bookkeeping and study it
thoroughly. Then get another one and
study that. Perhaps third could he
profitahly added to the list. If a bee
keepers convention should be held near
by, attend that; if not, visit neighboring
beekeepers and talk bees" with them
perhaps this would be better than the
ordinary bee conventions, though both
arc good. After this, if it is the in.en-
ton to make of beekeeping a special
business, much time may be saved by
spending at least one season with some
professional apiarist. If this cannot be
done, the best way will be to begin at
home with few colonies, and allow the
bees and the knowledge to keep pace
one with the other. The beginner is
quite likely to make some mistakes, and
it is better to make them with a small
number of colonies. Perhaps ten col
onies would be sufficient to begin with.
Many recommend buying cheap colonies
of blacks in box hives, transferring
them to movable frames, and Italian
izing them; but transferring as usually
done is very disagreeable job. reqhir-
ing some nerve, patience and skill, and
seems scarcely the proper work at
which to set novice. In Italianizing
there is also a risk of losing queens,
particularly if the work is done by an
inexperienced person. Still, if one has
plenty of determination and little
money this course may be advisable. 1t
| is much more pleasant, however, for the
beginner to begin with Italians in NOV
able comb hives.
Spring is the best time to buy bees,
and it is better to get them as near
home as possible, as express charges
are very heavy, and long journeys are
| likely to injure the colonies. l would
advise even a beginner to buy black
bees in box hives near home, and then
transfer and ItalianiZe, rather than have
bees shipped many hundreds of miles.
The cost of beginning in Bookkeeping
might be estimated something as fol-
! lows:

1t might be well for the beginner to
produce extracted honey at first, in
which case an extractor would be need
ed. This costs about ten dollars, but no
sections would be needed, nor so much
| foundations, though there would be
needed some vessels in which to store
the honey. The one thing that the be-
ginner needs to avoid in producing ex-
tracted honey is extracting too closely,
taking away too much honey and leav-
ing the bees short of stores. No honey
should be taken from the brood nest.
Another rock upon which the begin
ner is likely to split, is dividing colonies
too early, too frequently or too late.
TO allow each colony to swarm once, if
it will, and prevent after-swarming,
would be safe plan for a beginner to
