HERE AND THERE.

Unless man has business ability.
it will not help him to have a head full
of theories about farming. But il he
has energy, thorough knowledge will
help him wonderfully.
Twenty-Five years ago a Virginian
paid $4,000 for $4,000 acres of land.
which he planted in wainuts. His in.

All the higher organisms plead
hard for pure, fresh air. 1t keeps off
disease. Don't close your windows too
soon. Keep them open little, or
much, night and day, as long as pos
sible.
Assam agency in preventing disease,
sunlight is powerful. There is no dis
infectant that surpasses it for cheap
ness and effectiveness. The sun has
disinfected the earth for ages, as well
as afforded light and heat.
There is as brilliant future for
southern agriculture as its past has
been, and while the clouds lower upon
us, behind them the sun is still shin
ing. Let the southern farmer produce
his own home supplies and sell only
surplus produce.
For the poultryman who wishes to
make speciality of eggs or of dressed
fowls for the market, breeds especially
adapted for either of these purposes
are better than crosses. The rule holds
as true as with special dairy breeds of
cattle, and special breeds for the race
or the team among horses.
While there is always plenty of
work on farm during the winter, the
income is nothing else but what has
been earned during the summer. Why
not increase the winter earnings by
building snug houses, studying up the
question of winter eggs and winter
poultry?
1.-THE ranks of success in business
