DANGER FROM INBREEDING.


Breeding in and in is all right for two
or perhaps three generations. This
is necessarw to fix the desired charac-
teristics more firmly. But if this in
breeding is continued much longer than
two generations, it is likely to result
in loss of physical vigor, and also an
exaggeration of all the faults of eth
er ancestor. When any change to other
blood is made, it should be from ami
mails that themselves possess some of
the good qualities of the original cross.
No cross that makes sudden and
violent change from the type fixed upon
should ever on any account be al
lowed. 1t will only produce mongrels,
worse than either of the breeds which
originated them. 1t is generally un-
wise where farmers hens all run to-
gether to have more than one breed
of cocks to breed with them. There
may be several specimens, but all of
one breed, and none Of them closely re-
lated.

DR.. B. NJ. WooLLEY,

DIR. B. NJ. WooLLEy,
Atlanta, Ca:
Dear Sir-I feel myself wholly inadequate
to the task am undertaking, and yet, in
one respect, may perhaps claim to be quail
fled. 10 express my appreciation and
gratitude to God and yourself as His almost
superhuman agents, for my complete re-
storation to real life, and fondly hope a
future useful manhood, is task Of which |
am totally incompetent. But to speak OF
my emotions, when I recognize OF truth
that l have been emanclpated from. the
bondage of tyrant, more cruel and relent-
less than ever swayed scepter over help

press. do not wish to indicate that | have
mind Of commanding powers, yet / hope
it may exhibit at least a heart Of deepest
gratitude.
Fifteen years ago was the victim Of Sc
we're acute rheumatism; my suffering was
intense and almost unbearable Three noted
physicians in succession failed in their hon
est endeavors to give me relief The fourth,
my favorite. who was indisposed himself,
when was first attacked, finally came to my
bedside. He, in his anxiety and sympathy
to lull the pain and induce sleep, thought
best to give me at intervals a small quantity
OF morphine. Ignorant of Its wonderful
power, continued its use for several days,
and then it was that awoke to the sad
realization that I was bound in chains
which no human power or will could break
asunder. Since the fatal hour became an
involuntary and unconscious victim OF that
fascinating and yet most potent drug, as the
greatest enemy and destroyer of human
hope and ambition, mine has been weary
pilgrimage in the dark, ever dying, yet
could not die. Many times during the
passing Of those fifteen long and dreary
years, and especially since the death of one
of the best women that ever wore the sacred
crown OF wife, was tempted to snap asun-
der the silver cord Of life and leap to meet
the nameless terrorg of the great unknown.
And If perchance had committed the awful
deed the world would have cried out "in-
sane." whereas nothing else could have been
less true. One day, about nine months ago,

ROLLING DOWN GRAIN sTUBBLE.

ROLLING DOWN GRAIN STUBBLE.
One of the first things to be done
after the snow If off the ground is to
run the farm roller over the newly
seeded ground Of the previous year.
This will not only press down into
the soil stones thrown up by last win
ter's freezing, but it will compact the
oil around the roots of clover, which
may have been lifted by the same
means. 1t is one Of the best aids to
the young clover plant that we know
of, and besides smooths the rough sur
face, so that the clover may be cut
much more closely to the ground.
After the rolling 1t is good plan where
clover was seeded last year to follow
with a dressing OF 100 pounds of fine
gypsum per acre. How this helps
clover 1t not certainly known, though
its effects are often so remarkable as
to suggest that dbhe gypsum enables
the clover to secure nitrogen from the
air imprisoned in the soil.--American

Source Of the Nightly Niger.

An English officers thus describes
the tii.g source of the mighty River

down the slippery slopes till we reach

many more nlillionaires anxious to
start a broiler farm.
The questions, though, with those
who read of it, will be: Can it be
done?
Can an establishment of that pro-
portion be so managed that year in
and year out constant supply of
broilers and eggs will always be on
hand at a price sufficiently large to
produce good profit?
1t seems possible, but the owner will
find many things to contend with,
especially SO since up to the present
time he has depended entirely on
neighbors for the supply of incubator
eggs, these being from breeds of every
imaginable variety, many, Of course,
being infertile.
The poultry world will watch this
farm with especial interest, and should
the expectations Of the owner be reali-
zed, that old threadbare cry of "No
money in poultry" will be heard no
more.
Should it fail, everyone will say, Il
told you So"
But really 1t should not fail. A man
with unlimited capital, as this one nas
can make a success of almost any
thing.
Money is always power. In the
poultry business it is no exception.
The fact of the matter is, there Is alb
solute need OF capital in the poultry
buiness, and unless means sufficient
for all actual need are at hand, failure
is almost inevitable.-W. H. Camborn,

The condemnation of alum as an un-

them on the public. Following is a par
