Mrs. Percys entertainment to the
Sans Souci Club on Thursday was
probably The most elaborate event in
the history Of the club. The most
striking feature of the entertainment
was surprise, and the effect was
brilliant aud beautiful beyond descrip-
ton. The house, beautifully docora-
ted for tho occasion, was carefully
darkened, and the guests were ushered
into a warm aud fragrant atmosphere,
only half lighted with few jets from
the electric chandeliers. Twelve card
tables were arranged down the length
of the double parIors, and at each OF
the four corners Of every table had
been fixed an electric jet, rising about
foot from the table, aud shaded with
beautifully made crepe paper flowers,
IN natural colors. Over the central
table very large electric light was
suspended from an arch. Whom the
company were seated q signal was
given, aud in an instant the whole
dazzling flood of light was turned on
from tables and chandeliers, and the
richly furnished rooms, filled with
flowers and brilliant toiIettes, we're
from mellow glow to
splendid light aud beauty. The ban
auet at the conclusion of the game
was a sumptuous aud beautiful one
Roses were the flowers used in its
elaborate decoration, and in prepars-

triumph Of artistic skill

LIVE STOCK.
LIVE o ITEMS.

According to statistics, during the
past nine months, we have imported
nearly 80, 600, 900 pounds less wool than
for the same time last year. America
should be able to produce all her own
wool.
Brood sows should have plenty OF
exercise. Without exercise the SOW
will be lacking in vigor. II a pregnant
SOW is confined all the time during her
pregnancy, there will be trouble at
narrowing time. The person who thus
confines the SOW may consider himself
fortunate if he escapes losing both SOW
and pigs.
When prices for stock are down
farmers hasten to unload for Tear OF
lower markets, which their haste Is
sure to bring about; when prices are
on the rise their scramble to stock up
is equally great, and they aid in carry
ing prices still higher. There are no
greater bulls and bears in the stock
exchanges.
The old proverb that the foot OF the
sheep is golden is scarcely true if the
sheep have only the grass that grows
in pasture as feed. But if fed grain or
oil meal to fatten them while they are
at pasture their excrement will be very
rich, and will increase fertility rapidly.
Sheep do best on the natural grasses.
They will soon ruin clover il allowed
to eat it down, for they gnaw closer to
the coil than any other domestic ami
NAL can do.-EX,

that after rain has fallen all day the
milk yield shrinks If the COW has been
exposed to the wet. For this aso a
shed in the pasture f9ld may be a good
investment. Better still is it to get the
cow up to the barnyard under shelter
and cut some grass for them, giving a
bran mash to increase the nutrition.

enough to be worth from five to ten
times what it would bring at market
prices, and others will be, as a fancier
once said to us, good enough to eat. "
It will also be good enough to return as
extra profit in the way of meat or eggs,
and here is the dividing line. The
man who breeds pure-bred poultry will
look to what his flock will weigh and
what it will lay, while the fancier will
take the ones that score highest. Ere
quently a high-scoring fowl is not a
good layer, nor the meatiest one in the
flock. What we need in this country
is a few years devoted to utility, and
then we can begin to select for beauty
and have utility also.-Farmer's
Voice.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-07-20

BEAUTY VERSUS UTILITY.

One Of the greatest mistakes that
can be made by the poultry breeder is
to sacrifice utility to beauty. The
breeding OF pure bred poultry and the
breeding Of fancy" poultry are two
separate things. We say this without
any intent to find fault with fancierR,
because they have been the ones who
have awakened the great interest in the
poultry industry that now holds the at,
tention of farmers. We believe in pure
bred poultry, because with it the breed
er can formulate his plans with some
certainty. II he is breeding for eggs
he can select one of the non-sitting
breds and know that his fowls will be
small in size, prolific in the production
of eggs and that they will not trouble
him by wanting to sit half the summer.
II market poultry is what he wants
he can select n Of the larger breeds
and be certain that great eiz9 will be
attained by his fowls if they are prop
erly cared for.
With mongrels this is not the case.
His f5ck will be of all sizes and of
every color known to all the breeds
Some will be good layers and others
will not lay enough eggs in a year to
pay their keeping elk months.
There is a great difference between
pure bred poultry and fancy poultry.
The fancier breeds pure bred poultry,
but notmore than one in FIVE will prove
to be fancy. This one will show up
well at an exhibition and score bieh

KEEPING HlGa-CLAss POULTRY

No man has g better chance to keep
high. class poultry than the farmer.
He has unlimited range for them, and
this is conductive to health and the
best results in rearing the young. He
produces at first cost every necessary
food production that goes to keep a
flock during the year, and no n who
desires to purchase eggs for Matching
would ever buy of breeder who keeps
his fowls penned up, if be knew where
he could get eggs from farm kept fowls.
There is just as good a market for
high class poultry al there is for poul
try for market, and the demand is al
ways good for good stock. The farmer
who keeps this kind of pultry has two
chances to make money. His fl )ck
will be profitable al an investment at
market prices, and he will make many
sales without effort at much above
market prices.
1t is no trouble ct all, as the writer
knows from experience, to get from so
cents to one dollar a dcz3n for eggs
from high class hens during the hatch
ing season, and even at the smaller
price there is an immense prcf5 in the
business.
With the better care that is always
given to good stock comes a greater re
turn in eggs and meat for the fe9d used,
and here is an additional pre- ifs on the
transaction.
There is no excuse in these days that
jlstifes any farmer in allowing his
flock of his hens to remain mongreis.
The man who does this is standing in
his own light and does not live up to
mis- opportunities. It does not need
fancy houses, elaborate systems cf
yards nor extraordinary skill in breed
ing to make asuccess with fine poultry.
Plain, hard, common sense, such as is
needed to raise good crops and conduct
any farm successful is better than any
number Of nice theories which are of
no practical value.-Ev.

MAKING HORSES EAT SLOWLY

Many horses, especially if fed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. If they took longer time
to masticate it there would be less grain
voided in their excrement. A good
way to compel slow eating is to mix
With the grain a few clean pebbles, that
will oblige the horse to gather his food
slowly. A still better way is to grind
the grain and mix the meal with three
times It's bulk of cut hay, OF twice its
bulk of straw.
