Washington, March SIN spite of the
numerous conferences of officials on
the continuation of the preparations
now in progress on large scale to put
the country in a state of defense. there
was a certain feeling apparent In the
best informed circles that the situation
as to our relations with Spain was to-
day much more favorable than IL was
yesterday. Perhaps the semi-officiai
advices received through the associated
press from Madrid indicating a peace
ful purpose on the present Spanish
government contributed in a large
measure to that feeling. or it may have
been that the growing knowledge of the
vast extent of our own resources tend
ed to the belief that they would i'm
press others with the futility of at
tacking the United States. However
that may be, the feeling prevailed at
the white house. too. after the cabinet
meeting. wherein all of the facts that
were known to the president as to the
existing state of affairs were laid an-
reservedly before the cabinet members
and discussed. While Captain Brown

Planting trees too close together

"A good COW will make more pounds
of human food in year than steer

home for the family.
-Tenant-farming is not necessarily
u bad thing, but when it means non
resident landlordism, much OF it is not
good for a community or for agricul-
ture. The man who owns land should
have close personal interest in the
welfare of the community.
One advantage in feeding whole
corn to hogs is that none of it is lost,
which can not be said of meal fed dry
or in Stops. Hogs also take the stand

one ear at time and eat every grain

POULTRY ON The FARM.

Diet.
Salt pork is Objectionable as a con-
slant 81 ct except for very hard-work-
ing rO' GUS persons, and even for these
mi y ed meat diet would be better.
Will st the hog is very important fac
tor "a farm, especially on one where
food for its laborers is raised, for fam
lily purposes it holds u secondary
plaC u in the wise farmers Judgment
He is aware that salt meat tends to
pre- due scurvy unless its effects are
col mteractcd by fresh vege tables, and
it S TO u certain extent, therefore, I'M
wi lolesome when used exclusively for
long time. The wise farmer will
pl An, therefore, for an abundant sup
ply of fresh meat for his table. In
Il 10 country, and during the warmer
ionths, his chief reliance must be on
poultry. The wise farmer, therefore,
NVill not, as is too often the case, turn
ihe raising of poultry over to his wife,
or children, without providing them
with all the appliances necessary
I to success. He will build the
necessary houses, conveniently ar
ranged with dropping boards and
roosts, so they can be kept clean and
( easily treated with insecticides; will
provide tobacco stems to be put in
nests to drive away lice. Knowing
that large tlocks are more liable to dis
4 ease, he will provide the necessary in
4 closures, to contain not exceeding 80
( individuals in each, and will furnish
an abundance of food, the screenings
of grain, oats, katlir corn, for winter
food and for fattening pur-
poses; but above all, will supply
abundant grazing lots for all sea-
! sons of the year-lots of clover, of
mixed grains, wheat rye and barley.
In other words, he will make poultry
raising real business instead of, MS
ION most farms, leaving the poultry to
shift for itself and giving it the least
possible attention. In many localities
poultry could be raised very prottably
not only for the farmers table but for
market. Tennessee farmers are now
doing qnite II large business in this di.
rection, shipping immense quantities
of poultry and eggs to cities further

enough supplies for his own family
but for his laborers also, for if these
have to buy from merchants the labor.
ers will have to pay the four profits
mentioned above, and he might rs well
secure those profits for himself. He
will raise not only enough supplies, but

but contributive to health and vigor,
and may save him many a doctors bill.

FARM CONVENlENCES.
Appliances on tho Farm that are Time
Savers.

There is frequently time enough lost
on some farms, though the want Of lit
tie articles, to accomplish vast
amount of work. To illustrate, | re-
Gently saw man and two boys pick
ing corn in the field and throwing it
directly into the wagon-box instead of
using baskets. This necessitated much
uncalled-for STOPPING. Quite contrast
to this was the method practiced by a
young farmer who recently moved into
our community. lie had quite large
number of light boxes made OF half
inch pine boards. These boxes are
about two inches shorter and mar
rover at the bottom than the
top, SO that they pack together
like sugar-makers pack their sap
buckets. This young farmer distrib-
uted his boxes along row OF corn
shocks, and the huslScrs filed them as
the corn was huslied. The farmer then
came along with his platform wagon
and loaded up the boxes, thus saving
all the labor of picking the corn from
the ground.
The first farmer would have found it
an advantage to have had two good
baskets or boxes, permitting the boys
TO fill them up when he emptied them
into the wagon-ooX. / consider it
economical ito use boxes instead of
baskets. | buy mics boxes of our shoe
dealer, at five cents ca CHI, by the wagon

able size and make II handle for each
end from piece of old harness-trace.
On smaller boxes | place handles over
the center by taking heavier and
longer piece of truce. These boxes will
last longer with the same care given
them than the average basket, and for
most work prefer them to the baskets.
These boxes | also use for numerous
other purposes. The largest ones L
make into chicken-coops by removing
one side and replacing the boards with
plastering-lath. These are light and
easily handled, they are tight so as to
protect the little chicks, and when in
tested by lice, as they sometimes will
be, it is an easy matter to wash the m
in kerosene emulsion.
lately purchased bone-cutter for
the benefit of both the poultry and the
back yard. The machine works to per-
fiction, turning easily and cutting the
bone in nice condition for the poultry.
The hens seem to appreciate the ma
chimes work, for they begin to come
in from all directions as soon as they
hear me at work preparing their feast
and it is treat to see how they gath
CT up the temting morsels.
This bone cutter and small corn
shelter are great aids in caring for the
poultry. Before securing the bone
cutter it was necessary t o cut up the
bones with an ak and then pound them
up fine, which was tedious task.
A few barrels or boxes filed with
clover chaff will be found excellent
additions to the feed supplies to the
poultry yards during the winter.

The Miraculous Cure.

My darllng's eyes are dull,
Her head aches all day long;
The doctors ordered her to rest,
Because she isn't strong.
She mustn't sew n stitch,
She mustn't play or paint;
To think Of sweeping is enough,
Almost to make her faint.
But when the auction man,
With rugs and things to sell.
Hangs out his flas, my darling gets
Mraculously well;
Her strength returns at once,
She elbows through the throng,
And stands upon her feet and bids
And is happy all day long.
