Forest and Prairie Fires.-A great
menace to farming in the west are the
forest and prairie fires. Farmers have
got to learn that every big fire does
immense damage to their growing
crops; it heats the air. and dries up
the surface SO that water will roll of it
and not be absorbed by it. Burning
the straw and cornstalks on the field
is one of the worst practices that farm
ers can adopt, and they reap the evil
results of it every time. Vegetable
matter burnt is lost, but when turned
under the soil 1t is not only saved,
but it makes the soil more porous SO
that water can sink down into it. Ex.

Roots of Clover.-A German author
ity says that the root and stubble of a
good crop of red clover weigh over
three tons per acre when air dry and
contain $50 pounds of nitrogen, Z
pounds of phosphoric acid and u
pounds of potash, all of which is placed,
when turned under, in the most avail
able form for growing crops. We call
attention particularly to the large de-
mand which clover makes on the soil
for potash and phosphoric acid. II the
resulting crops are removed from the
soil one cal easily see how clover can
be used for soil robbing as we'll as
restoring fertility. 1t is this fact that
has given rise to the English proverb,

Poultry Notes.


One OF the tests Ut whether or not a
man is a successful poultry raiser is
whether or not he can make his hens
pay a profit in winter. We too often
forget this and consider the man that
can breed up prize winning bird as
being success, while the man who sim
ply keeps on his way turning his in
vested money over and making a clear
profit is forgotten. Frequently the least
successful men make the most noise,
and men that have made a failure of
poultry raising are the readiest to tell
other people how to grow poultry and
produce eggs.
The little investment in a single hen
shows up splendidly when put onto pa
per. Her cost and the proportionate
ccst of the pens, yards and utensils are
the investment. The feed and care are
the running expenses. and the eggs and
flesh are the returns. It is q pleasant
thing to use paper and keep q correct
account even of this little business.
We think most of our readers would be
surprised at the showing their flocks
would make, were all the costs and re-
ceipts reduced to paper. A flock that

A YANKEES JIE ".

An American offered for a toast 1T a
dinner in Paris the following .'Here
North by the aurora borealis, on the
South by the procession Of the equi-
noxes, on the East by primeval chaos,
and on the West by the Day Of Judg-
ment"
THE DEMOCRAT interviewed a real.
genuine Yankee few days ago on his
opinion Of the South While he did
not refer to the latitudinous toast pro-
posd by the American in Paris, he
thought that the Southern people seem
to have some such idea Of their section
Of country. He pleasingly observed
that the Southern people think that
they have the greatest country In the
world ; and said this Is most hopeful
sing for the South.
The gentleman whom we Interview
ed has travelled much in many parts
OF the United States, and in answer to
the question as to what the South most
needs to hasten Its highest possible de-
velopment, he said, that to begin with
the South is strictly an agricultural
section. This, he said, makes it nee
essary that agriculture should be made
as nearly perfect as possible in order to
make the foundation OF other develop
ments solid. To do this. he said the
greatest need in the South now is that
farmers shall personally oversee the
business on their own farms The
farmer who hires man to look after
the farm and himself rides to the town
or village once or twice dav with no
other business than to get his mail,
will not do much towards developing
the South.
Strict attention to business person
ally, said the Yankee, is what the
Southern people need to learn A man
who has travelled in all parts OF the
country, as he has, must haye made
some observation worth remembering.
These are some the Yankee had made
and we give them to our farmer friends,
with our own hearty endorsement.
