Fowls Running At Large.

There is no better place for flock hav-
ing full liberty than to allow them ac-
cess to brush land, as they will then Sc
cure insects and be comparatively safe
from hawks. Many waste track of such
land could be used for poultry raising,
and if the soil is light and sandy it will
be all the better as it will be dry. IL
fowls have free range they will partially
support themselves, but more land will
be required for them than when they
are confined. 1t is not so much the con-
finement as the inactivity that often
causes failure. If fowls in confinement
are kept busily at work they will need
no range. nor will they care for it,

of water to the acre. A barnyard with

Thus far, the co.onists have been too
busy at clearing the lands and building
houses to make much of a showing. It
will be several years before the results
of their work and industry are fully
seen. Already they have set out quite
a number of fruit trees and vines.
Many of them are familiar with grape
growing in Italy, and they will soon
learn the methods of successful viticul-
ture in this country.
They are giving up using their old
and clumsy implements, and to-day
they handle the pillow as skillfully as the
native farmers. AS our illustration
shows, the women and children lend a
hand and work in the fields. The ma
jority of the people are young and in
the prime of life; that is, they are under
the age of 40. The women are strong,
thrifty and make good wives. The
men are active, vigorous, industrious
and used to hard work They should
make good citizens.-American Agri-
culturist.

wALpeNsIAN FARMERS.
Quite Colony of 1sera Is Located in
Burke County, \. G.

Quite Colony of 1Sevn Is Located in
Burke County, n. c.
In the summer of 1898 some 20 FAM
lies came over from sunny Italy and
settled in the western part of North
Carolina. They were the advance guard
of the colony which to-day numbers
about 200 persons.
There would be little to attract at
tention to this settlement if it were
not the only one of the kind in America.
The colonists are Weaknesses; that is to
say, they are descendants of a re-
ligious sect that was driven by perse-
cution into the Piedmont mountains of
northern Italy. Here they were safe
and secluded, and here they were free
to follow their peculiar forms of wor-
ship. In their mountain retreat at home
the Waldensians have followed the or
binary pursuits of agriculture. Living
by themselves and shut off from the
outside world, these people were con
tent to farm after the fashion of their
forefathers. The result was, their
methods of farming were rather rude
and primitive.
When the Waldensians came to this
country they brought with them their
old-fashioned ideas and methods Many
of the colonists had never seen a pillow
or mower and reaper until they ar
rived in North Carolina. OF course,
our modern methods of intensive farm
ing and rotation of crops were beyond
their knowledge. The colony is located
in Burke county, n. c., about eight
miles from Morgantown. the county
seat. The village is called Valdese,
and is laid out into streets and building
lots. The first thing the colonists did
was to build a church and schoolhouse.
Recently they have showed consider
able enterprise in starting a hosiery
mill, in which most of the young people
are employed. The property of the col
onists consists of several thousand
acres. This has been divided into small
farms, each family receiving from so to
GO acres. At the same time each house
holder is obliged to assume his share
of the debt which the colony still owes.

GOOD CORN MARKER.
It Is Easily Made and Does Its Work to
Perfection.

1crtectlon.
Many may think that marking out
corn ground is a small matter. yet it
should not be so, considered. because
much convenience utotherworking
OF the crop depends on straight rows,
thing that most farmers find it diff
cult to make. have used several sorts
OF markers, but was never sure of doiag
a good job till used one like that illus
trated. l was so pleased with it that l
want others to try it, for don't think
one should be selfish with providential
success.
1t is far ahead of the four-row fold
ing marker; can ride or walk with
equal advantage, as the tongue comes
directly over the mark, giving one
great advantage over the team. The
tongue is light and easily put on.
Bolt the pieces to the tongue, which
should fit close to the sides of the run
ner, the front end of which should be
about inches longer than the out
side ones, and about inches wide
on top-as thick as end of the tongue,
as far back as the pieces ON end of
tongue extend. Use bolts, so everything
Will stay
Make the gauge the length of three
spaces and or 4. inches longer.
Hinge it to the middle runner lat ca
SO that it will turn over from one side to
the other. Make it of hard wood, to
inches wide, and to exactly fit in a
space between the top boards. To hinge
it, thin one end of gauge to thickness
of a small bolt, about inches longer
than width of gauge, and bend a piece
of tin over bolt, and nail both sides.
Cut notches in top boards right over
the center of runner, to let the ends
of bolt in, with a hole in one of them
for head of bolt; drive a staple over head
end of bolt, close to hole, and fasten
turn-button over the other. Thus the
gauge can be easily taken off when
not in marking use. A turn-button over
each end runner lat B and d., to hold
firm when in use.
The marking end (A) should be as
light as possible. Cut a gain about
inches wide so it will be evenly centered
