POULTRY DOES PAY.
One of the Most Profitable, If Not the
Most Profitable, Branches
of Farming. 20

Those who say poultry does not pay
do so because in the first place they do
not expend the proportionate time and
brain in caring for their fowls that they
do with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place,
they'd not keep an account, hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
COWS, for instance, where many times
the capital is invested. Take care Of
your hens for one season, credit them
with all the eggs and chickens used at
home as well as those sold, Of course:
charging the feed and time to them, and
see if they do not yield a greater profit
proportionately, than the average prod
ucts at your disposal. Those who have
thoroughly tried it, either as a business
in itself or as a side issue, are ALMOST
unanimous in declaring that it is one
Of the most profitable, if not The most

TRUE TO HIS FIRST LOVE.
She Could Not Marry Him, But He
Kept Her Image Ever
Before Him.

The heroine of this tale, who was
young some 20 years or more ago, was
the daughter of a wealthy man, who
desired her, true story-book fashion,
to make a brilliant marriage. The
daughter, equally in story-book fash
ion, had given her heart to a poor
but worthy young man, and the
father refused to give his consent to
their union. The daughter would not
marry the man against her fathers
will, but promised her lover that she
would at least marry no one else.
Time passed, and at intervals the
young man renewed his suit. but al
ways received the same answer; the
girl loved him. but she would not mar
ry without her fathers consent and
leave him alone.
In the meantime the man had gone
to Canada and made some money. He
was still faithful to his old love, and
after acquiring considerable fortune
he returned yet again &c urge his lady
love to go back with him. but without
avail. Finally there came last ap-
peal. He wrote that be was growing
old; he felt that he needed home
lie declared his love again, but said
that IL his old sweetheart would not
marry him now he must marry auoth-
er woman. Again he was refused and
this time he married,
BY correspondence the wife and the
old love were made acquainted, and
became on paper very good friends.
Then the woman I'm America felt a de
sire TO visit her one-time lover and
made the trip to Canada and was
warmly welcomed The house was
attractive and everything about il was
pleasant. but what was the surprise
Of the visitor to see hanging in a con-
spicuous place on the walls Of one Of
the principal rooms, her own por-
trait.-N. Y. Times.

HERE AND THERF.

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 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
looking after. The trouble is usually
from ever feeding.
1t certainly requires IS much la
Dor to make a pound of poor butter AS
it does to make a pound of the best:
il usually requires more. as it is zot
churned so quickly and the buttermilk
is not so easily gotten out.
-Beons and peas are very nutritioug
foods, but are too stimulating to be
given alone Ground into meal and
mixed with bran-chaf 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
peas or roots. and make lean hams and
bacon which are most choice. Thisac-
counts for the great favor with which
the English hold Danish iork.

BROILERS FOR MARKET.
Few Hints to Those Who Contemplate
Catering to the Demand for
Broiled Chicken.

Broilers have made money for some
men; they have lost it for others. The
difference in results was occasioned
by the difference in the men, their
ways of getting the birds from shell
to market, not in the broilers. Ex
perience is the best teacher, but it is
not advisable to pay too much for the
teacher. 1t would be folly for man
because he had money, to pay a pro-
fessor of mathematics in some of our
colleges $4,000 year to teach his boy
the rudiments of mathematics when
he could get teacher well versed in
primary arithmetic for few dollars
per month. So it is folly Cor man to
go into the broiler business on a large
scale for the experience. Learn by be-
ginning in a small way. Read the ex-
perience of others; if possible visit the
broiler establishments of those who
have been successful in this line of
poultry farming. But after reading
and visiting do not think you know it
all. and invest several hundred or a
few thousand dollars and lose all in
learning how to make Lroilers pay
Better make broilers a side issue till
should see that all the cleaning up, car
you have experience, or make it winter
business in connection with some work
that is at its height in the summer
fruit growing for instance.
A good plan for STRAIT is to have
a small brooder house and two ineu-
bators with a capacity of 200 eggs
each. With this little outfit you could
run a small broier busines in connec-
tion with other work from which to
get a living. AS one becomes posted
in the business it may be enlarged un-
I'll the whole time is devoted to it, In
that broiler center of this country,
Hammonton, n. j., there are men who
from October to July virtually abide
in their brooder houses.
In going into this business remem-
ber there are some things that have to
be had whether it is run on a small
scale or a large one. We refer now to
brioler raising as a businessmen the
raising of few chickens on the farm
to be sold as broilers. First. there
must be incubators and a place for
them; second. a brooder house and
brooders; third, eggs, and fourth, fuel,
feed and other running expenses for
four or five months before there is
cent income from all this outlay. If
only an incubator or so is used the
place" need not be a house built ex-
pressly for the purpose. The same is
true as regards the brooders, though
a brooder house is more necessary
than an incubator house when the
business is run in a small way.
If a farmer wishes a small broiler
plant in connection with the other
farm operations. he might put il in
charge of his wife or daughter, but he
should see that all the cleaning up, car
rying water and other such work is
done by the men folks that is not
woman's part of the business. Some
OF the best and most successful incu-
hator managers at Hammonton are

FARMER NDPLANTER.
THE IRISH POTATO.
Neglected Product on the Southern Farm
for Which Millions of Dollars are
Spent Every Year.

am surprised at the farmers of the
south, and especially myself, for neg
lecting to a grieyous extent the ex-
tensiye 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
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
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 sueeulent tubers
or purchase them from local growers
at most exorbitant rates. With 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
him 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
Gus and happy homes, and he would
as soon think of missing a cotton or
corn crop as of missing an Irish po-
tato crop. He has potatoes from
April 1 to March 81, and they consti-
tute a large portion of his usually
sumptuous 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

And silently appealed

sired end of helping up the price OF |

sired end of helping up the price OF
cotton is to increase its consumption
In every possible way. One of these
ways is to use cotton sheets made OF
cotton goods to gather the eottonerop
with. So far as my observation goes,
farmers almost invariably use burlap
sheets. 1t is much easier TO go 10
store and buy a sheet made and ready
for use, than to buy the cloth and have
it made. The burlap sheet is made OF
some foreign material whose con-
sumption does us no good. On the
other hand. every sheet made of cot
ton goods consumes that much of our
own product. A burlap sheet costs
from 20 cents to 25 cents and lasts,
generally. one season. A cotton sheet,
made of say seven and half yards OF
eight-ounce osnaburgs or duck, will
cost about 60 cents, will stie up" 300
pounds of seed cotton. and will. with
reasonable care, last five or six years,
thus being really cheaper in the end
than the burlap sheet-Cor. Dixie
