shelter for Stock.

In this connection it may be well to
urge the providing Of ample shelter
for stock during winter. Do not. put
this off until winter comes. A large
percentage of the food eaten by ami
mails in winter is expended in keeping
up animal heat. Protection from cold
necessarily reduces the expenditure
of food for this purpose, and the mat
ter resolves itself into the question
which is cheaper, shelter or food? The
answer might be little doubtful If
one went to the expense of building
very costly stables and barns; but even
in such case it is to be borne in mind
that a stable lasts for a great many
years, whilst food has to be provided
every year. Bit in our mild climate
it is not necessary to build expensive
barns and stables. A roof to keep off
rain and any continuance To keep of
cold winds are a II that is needed.
Posts set in ground to support roof
of pIanks-which may be taken down
and put under shelter in springer OF
matched straw.will answer for cov-
ering, and pine brush leaned up on all
sides except the sohth will protect
against wind. Surely any farmer can
have such shelters.--Southern Guilt.

A SMALL Boys SCHEME
He Had an Idea About Eggs which
Promised Splendid Result to
Hts Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for .
brief stay in the country.
On farm in a neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingly said to his
mother:
"Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for?'
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
My dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house?"
"Oh, mamma" replied the boy, 81 didn't
want you to know about it."
"Why, it's all right" said mamma, 81 only
want to know what my boy did with them"
81 hid them in the stable said the little
fellow.
"And what for?"
"'Cause it's my scheme"
Your scheme? And what is your
schemew
why, you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher, when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses!"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Fattening Hogs.

Sweet potatoes have now pretty well
completed their growth and should be
fed very literally to hoes. Harder
crops, as peanuts, may be held back
for later period, but potatoes, sor-
ghum and peas should be fed literally.
Peas are included not because they are
liable to injury from frost but because
of their richness in protein or nitro
genous compounds, they supplement
the deficiencies in most other foods,
and animals thrive most on mixed RAJ
tions. AS an animal needs a certain
amount of each constituent of food in
certain proportions, if a food is short
on one of its constituents, an animal
has to eat an excess of such food to
get the proper amount of the deficient
substance, and the excess of the other
constituents is thus practically lost.
One constituent, as a rule, can not
take the place of another. Starch and
sugar can not make muscle. Push the
fattening hogs now all they will bear.
The weather will be cool enough for
them to eat heartily without injury,
but not cold enough to prevent. their
.fattening rapidly. There is no better
period in the year for fattening hogs
than the next six or eight weeks. Do
not forget to feed moderately at first
any new food; there is always danger
of surfeiting, or even worse results,
from overlooking at first. = Dixie
Farmer.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
THE IRISH POTATO.
4 Neglected Product ON the Southern Farm
for Which Miilinns of Dollars arc
spent Every Year.

ain surprised at the farmers of the
south, and especially myself, for neg
iecting to a grievous extent the ex-
tensive cultivation of that most pro-
ductive and wholesome and econom-
ical food plant, the Irish potato. Mil
lions of dollars go from the south
every year into the Golfers of northern
and western growers for something
that every farmer can raise in
abundance on his own farm here in
the sunny south. / do not mean to as
sert that no potatoes are produced
here, for every farmer usually plants
from one peck to one bushel, being
governed by the size of his family,
and from May Is to July Is he has a
few potatoes. Except around cities
where market gardens are run, / have
never seen an acre in potatoes on a
single farm. For nine or ten months
OF the year people in the country and
small towns and villages either forego
the luxury of these succulent tubers
or purchase them from local growers
at most exorbitant rates. With a lit
tie care and attention, our own tables
might be supplied the whole year, and
the money paid for seed used and eat
ing. potatoes might easily be kept at
home.
OF course, If every farmer raised an
abundance, there would be no great
demand in our local market, but the
demand abroad for superior potatoes
is always good, and supplying our
selves instead of buying would be an
immense saving in a single season. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated that
two crops of potatoes may be success
fully grown anywhere in the south by
planting in February and again in Au-
gust. Those produced in the spring
will supply our wants during the sum-
mer, and the fall crop can be stored
for winter use. There are several meth
DDS of putting themup tokeep through
the winter, which will be discussed
later, and should anyone be so incred-
ulous as to have no faith in them let
Phim remember how sound north
grown potatoes shipped in open bar
rels, remain in warerooms of local
merchants. Along the gulf coast, and
in the frontier counties of our state,
the thrifty 1euton has built prosper
lbs and happy homes, and he would
as soon think of missing cotton or
corn crop as of missing an Irish po-
stato crop. He has potatoes from
April / to March 81, and they consti-
fute large portion of his usually
umptuous bill of fare. They sell
large quantities to consumers in neigh
boring towns and cities at good prices,
while his less thoughtful and shift
less native-born neighbor raises cotton
and buys his potatoes, and that, too,
generally on credit.-Cor. Florida

HERE AND THERE.

Haul in wood. Later it means half
the wood and twice the work. Ground
feed can also be stored while the roads
are good.
"A very common error in hog feed
ing is to mix up more soft food than
is needed. This accumulates in the
troughs and on the ground and sours.
If on the slopes there are running
streams in rainy weather which make
ugly washouts, they can often be
checked by placing fine brush or
swamp grass in them, weighing it
down with stones.
keep lookout for sheep that are
going on their knees. This is an indi-
cation that something is wrong with
the feet. Immediate examination
should be made, and what is wrong is
to be set right.
If hogs smell around their corn
before taking hold, and especially if
some of them take few bites and then
leave, something is wrong which needs
locking after. The trouble is usually
from ever feeding.
1t certainly requires SIS much Ia
Dor to make pound of poor butter as
it does to make a pound of the best;

Beans and peas are very nutritious
foods, but are teo stimulating to be
given alone. Ground into meal and
mixed with bran-chaff or dried grains,
beans make excellent feeding STUFF for
almost all kinds of stock.
There are countries which grow
their pigs without corn, and feed the
wastes of the dairy with barley, oats

A Dyspeptic's daily diet.


Dyspepsia Is one Of the most prevalent Of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
1t in a more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up Of the entire system. For
tify the system and it will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any iutruding
disease. The success Of Dr.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due to just this quality which IL
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
DR.. Ayers sarsaparilia puts strength into
the stomach, and brings It up to the level Of
the strong food fit for men. II does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep-
Ma Is best illustrated In cases like that II
