South Carolina stands in the front rank
as farming state. Several years ago
that state won a corn-producing contest
with an output of 103 bushels to the acre;
and now we hear of a very notable
achievement in cotton farming in South
Carolina. Mr. E. D. Thompson of Point,
York county, has this year harvested four
bales of cotton from one acre. Mr.. Thomp-
son employed what Is called the Intensive
system" of farming, concentrating fertil-
izaHon and cultivation upon compare
lively small area. with vesults which he
has found not only gratifying in yield.
but quite profitable.

OIL! BE NOT THE FIRST.

"Oh! be not the first to discover
\ blot on the fame OF a friend
A flaw in the faith Of n lover,
Who may prove true in the end.
We none of Us know one another,
And oft into error may fall;
Then let us speak well Of our brother
Or speak not about him at all.
a smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue,
And thus our belief may be shaken,
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the bright smile Of gladness
Is worn by the friend that we meet,
To cover a soul full of sadness,
Too proud TO acknowledge defeat
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrites
breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest?
How often the friend we hold dear
est,
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms purest sincerest
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspi-
cion
And small ones TO trace out defects
Let ours be a nobler ambition,
For low is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error may fall
Then let US speak wello our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.''

say, but believe we will succeed
in getting the treaty modified
10 our satisfaction.
1t is the impression of all
that have come in contact
with, that something will he
done to settle the Indian ques-
ton before congress adjOurns.

one against the Choctaw treaty
being ratified. DR.. HALEY is

Peafowls are tiresome in some re-
spects and improbable always. The
scream of the cock, if near the house,
is most disagreeable, and the bird is
also very quarrelsome with other
poultry as a general rule, even eating
young chicks occasionally. Some are
so vicious as TO attack young children
or aged persons, but these are rare ex-
ceptions, and most of them become
very tame as regards mankind, COM
ing to the door or window to be fed
and making persistent row until
their wants are supplied. Little can
be said about their management. They

The Egg Business.

Going into the egg business by buy
ing eggs and selling them is a risk
which is not usually considered in adj
vance, if the object is to sell only
"strictly fresh eggs.'' The beginner
goes out among the farmers and buys
where he believes he can best get
fresh eggs, for he is honest and in
tends to build up reputa ton and
thus secure a permanent trade. I'm
fortunately the farmer is just the one
who cares sbut little for fowls, and
collects eggs wherever the hens hap
pen to lay. He may come across
a nest full Of eggs in some out-of-the-
way place, but it is all the same to
HIM, for ''eggs are eggs,'' and if he
can dispose of them at good price
he cares but little whether the city
customer is pleased or not. But the
dealer who buys from the farmer to
sell again has to meet all the COM
plants, and that is the disagreeable
thing about the business. Customers
do not know anything about where he
procures them, and if they pay him
his price they expect good service.
No one can buy eggs to sell again I'M
less he is supported by careful farm
ers. For that reason every one who
goes into the egg business should en-
deavor to have his own hens and en-

drunk. He states that bees often get
tipsy. When the stage of intoXication
IS reached it is Indicated by rolling on
the back, striking the legs wildly in
the air and general helplessness. The
bees rapidly recover from the effects
and in most cases are eager to repeat
the debauch; one Individual which
had been shut up in a vasculum with
copious supplies of Centaurea scab-
iosa manifested the next morning a
disgust, raising his head and forelegs
as high as it could above the plants,
then hurrying away as soon as releas-

ed that the rolling consequent on the

ing the pollen to other florets of the

Bran for Laying Hens.

Wheat bran is splendid for laying
hens, and also for growing stock. It
contains a far greater per cent. of
nitrogen than corn or oats, and if it's
use is not carried to an extreme, it is
the best thing that can be used to pro-
mote the health and digestion of
fowls. The best way to feed it is in
the morning mash, which is best
made by scalding the ground seed, one
third cornmeal and two-thirds mid
dlings, shorts, or anything else pre-
ferred, with hot milk, or, in the alb
sence of that, with hot water Cook
ed vegetables of any kind, and meat
and table scraps would make it all the
better. When fed, the mixture should
neither be cold nor too hot, and do
not make it sloppy; put on just
enough to thoroughly moisten all the
meal, and no more.-EXchange

young chicks until they are six months
old, and not infrequently until the
following spring. The young appear
to need this extended care, and it is
therefore useless to hatch them under
hen. Till they moult at eighteen
months old, the cocks remain the
same color as the hens, and do not get
their finest plumage until the third
year.-DiXie Farmer.

Poultry Notes.

If you have to keep the poultry
yarded they should be supplied with
green food.
Turkey raising is a science, possibly
more SO than the keeping of any other
kind of poultry.
Beds of lettuce can be grown in the
hen yard by having box with wire
netting CT top to put over it.
Some poultrymen claim that tur-
keys are raised as certainly and with
as little trouble as are chickens.

stronger broods during the months OF
February, Marcr and April than dur
ing the warm months of June, July
and August. 1t was also found the
eggs of fowls which were Matched at
liberty Matched better than those of
fowls which were confined. In tests
made with an incubator it was found
that eggs which were repeatedly
cooled and warmed Matched much bet
ter than those which were kept at a
warm temperature all the time. In
one experiment the eggs were cooled
by exposing them to the air for one
and one-half hours daily during the
whole period of incubation. This
treatment retarded the period of in
cubation for three days. The eggs be-
came quite, cold, and it required about
twelve hours to bring them up to 104
degrees F., the temperature of incu-
patton. In this experiment thirteen
out of thirteen Matched vigorous
chickens. The incubator had pre-
viously been used with unsatisfactory
results.
From second experiment it was
inferred that the gradual heating of
eggs was as essential as the process of
cooling. Twenty-Five eggs which had
been laid on very warm days were
placed in the incubator and exposed
to air as in the preceding case. The
temperature was such that the eggs
were warmed up to 1O4 degrees in two
or three hours. This temperature was
maintained until the brood Matched.
The chickens pierced the shell, but
they were SO weak they died before
leaving the egg.
1t was found that the eggs upon
which fowl is sitting are not all Of
the same temperature, those upon the
outside being cooler than those which
lie inside.

three days in succession. The eggs
became quite cold, and it required
twelve hours to bring them to 104 de-
grees, the temperature of incubation,
again. In this experiment thirteen
out of sixteen eggs produced strong
healthful chicks. The incubator had
previously been used with very salts
factory results. We believe it to be
necessary to allow eggs to cool con-
siderably at frequent periods during
incubation. The theory of it is this:
The embryo chick in the shell must
have air or perish just as surely as it
would perish without it after it comes
from the shell. The air enters the
porous eggshell and is taken up by
the blood vessels that line the inner
coat of the shell during incubation,
and thus is carried through the circu-
lation of the chick. If the egg is kept
at the same temperature all the time,
the air outside of the shell has but
small chance of penetrating the shell.
If the egg is cooled, the air in the air
space in the larger end of the egg be-
gins to contract, and as it does this,
fresh air from the outside is drawn
through the shell to fill vacuum thus
produced. This furnishes a supply of
fresh air for the chick, sufficient for
it's needs for twentyfour hours, when
the operation should be repeated. Ma
ture teaches the sitting hen to leave
her nest each twenty-four hours until
within thirty-six hours of the time
for the chicks to come forth, when
she sits closely on the eggs until the
chicks are Matched.
Most incubators have some device
for turning the eggs, thus shortening
the time of exposure. The writer has
always taken the turning device out
of every incubator, prefering to turn
the eggs by hand. By doing this it is
certain that each one has been turned,
and the time of exposure to the cool
outer air is longer and better for the
chick.-Exchange

Cooling Eggs in Incubator.

The science of Matching eggs in in
cubators is a comparatively new one,
and while the mode of operation is
pretty well understood, the reason for
doing certain things is not so we'll de-
fined. Almost every maker of incuba-
tors recommends that the egg drawer
be opened every day and the eggs be
allowed to cool down to below 100 de-
grees. There has been much dispute
why this is necessary, and many opin-
ions have been advanced. Careful tests
made in France with incubators show
that eggs not only are not damaged
by occasional cooling during incuba-
ton, but actually hatch better for
such cooling. In one experiment the
eggs were cooled by exposing them to
the air for one and half hours for

Summer Eggs are Profitable.

The summer is the best time with
the hens, but the majority of farmers
are disposed to disregard the facts
which are presented, and fail to take
advantage of the season. 1t is true
that as the fall approaches the hens
begin to mott and cease to lay, but in
SO doing they are preparing for their
winter work getting ready, as we
may say-and there is consequently
no loss of time in that direction. The
hens that do not lay and do not be-
gin to mott are the most Improbable,
the cause being due to their being
overfat or afflicted with lice. There
is no remedy but to remove the cause,
whatever it may be, and all the con-
diJion powders OF egg food ever in
vented will be of no avail. If the hens
are too fat, the food must be shut off.
If the lice are the cause of the vermin
they must be cleared out. 1t is ma
tural for the hens to lay, and when
they do not produce eggs in the sum-
mer or fall the cause should be inves-
tigated.
When eggs cease to come in, the
farmer sells the moulting hens, which
is just where he makes his greatest
mistake. The ones to dispose of are
those that are fat and in high condi-
ton. If the poultry on the farm have
the attention given them that is re-
ceived by the COWS the farmer would
soon learn to know more about his
f1ocks and understand how to correct
his mistakes. He quickly discovers
the reason when a cow fails to give
her quota of milk, because he observes
her daily, knows what she needs and
the condition under which she is kept.
1t is not so much the knowledge of
cattle as observation Of daily occuren
ces that enables him to keep his COWS
up to the requirement. The same APP
plies to the fowls observe them.
Learn to know what is necessary to
success with poultry, and success will
follow as natural result.-Farm and

Effects of Cold on Incubation.

The French Minister of Agriculture
has published report of certain ex'
periments upon the effect of cold air
upon incubation of eggs. 1t was
found that fowls hatch larger and
