In the county of Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mo1lie Grimes. She was
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritabllity
that would surely lose for her the affec-
ton of her children and husband, and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appeaiNin her home. She
was filed with the loving motherly in
stinct, but two n1iscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:
81 was almost heart broken to think could
not raise any more children and had to suffer as
/ did I had lost two children by miscarriages

made, the grave was lined with brick
laid in mortar, but when the bearers
were ready to take the coffin from the
wagon In which 1t was borne to the
grave, it was found there was nothing
to lay across the grave to place the cof-
fin upon before lowering it into the
gravel So two OF the bearers had to
go to the fence, tear off boards and
break them up for this purpose. Here
the rough box into which the coffin is
put is always put into the bottom Of
the grave when the grave is dug. Then
the graves are not filed by the one who
digs the grave, but always by the bear
ers and friends of the family. The
whole party who go to the grave stay
until it is filled. At this time of the
year there seems to be little sickness
here, but in the hot weather there are
great many cases of typhoid fever
and bowel trouble. The eolored peo-
pie do not know how to take care of
the sick, and it is a common saying
here that if negro gets very sick, he
is pretty sure to die.
A southerner never dies for lack of
fresh air. Most of the houses are very
open, even the best houses are so built
that the wind blows in; the builders
here fail utterly in shutting the wind
out of houses. But as if this were not
enough, the doors are kept open nearly
all the time. Even when it is quite
cold, you will see big fire in the fire.
place and the outside door wide open.
Most of the farm houses afford very
little protection from the cold. A poor
woman was complaining of the cost of
wood, but her door was wide open. eff
you kept your door shut, you would not
have to buy 80 much fuel" said the
plain-speaking visitor. 81 can't bear
to be shut up" was the reply. A large
part of the year everybody that can,
lives in the open air, on piazzas espe-
cially, and in all but the coolest seasons
all the doors and most of the windows
are wide open except at night.

Girls Studying Farming.

The aspiration after "physical cul
| ture" is finding outlets in many practical
and useful ways not enumerated among
"sports." In single agricultural col.
lege in the West last year fifty girls
have taken up full course of scientific
study in farming, theoretical and prac-
tical. Agricultural colleges are in
creasing rapidly in the West and South.
Girls are now admitted in some of them
on the same conditions as boys. They
have dormitory of their own and
study three years, part of the time
being spent in actual farm work on the
field. When graduated they are found
skilled in every department of hcus e.
work and needlework, and in every line
of dairy work, stock raising and agri-
culture. 1t is not surprising that some
wealthy families send their daughters
to these colleges. Where could parents
give their daughters better "physical
basis" than in such an institution? 1t
may seem to some like robust treat
ment. but it is safe to say that money
spent for physical culture of this order
will yield better returns in the end than
expensive athletic training belonging
to the category of sports. 1t would not
be surprising if one of these days the
rudy female graduate from q first
class agricultural college should be at
premium in the matrimonial market.

Pure Air and Warmth for the Cows.

Let the sides, top and floor of the
stable be tight as you please, except the
air inlets and outlets. Let the outlet
flues run from near the floor at the
back of the stable to the open air at the
top of the barn. Place vane cap on
the top of each, and draft regulator
near the lower end. Let the fodder
holes open to the barn floor and be
fitted with tight doors. If chutes are
used keep them tightly covered be-
tween foddering.
For inlets, make four two-inch holes
at the angles of square foot directly
in front of each COW, in the partition or
in the fodder-hole doors. Admit the
outside air to the barn floor by opening
near the stills or in the floor. The
lower down the better the draught. If
it comes from too high point, the
draught will 60 the wrong way.
With everything in order,th fresh
air will enter slowly through the holes
in the partition, and each COW will get
a full and unadulterated supply, as
there will be constant flow backward
to the flues, and the heat from the
breath and bodies will keep the stable
warm if the draught is properly regu-
lated. The sum of the areas of all the
fue mouths should be fully equal to
that of the inlets-that is, if there is a
flue for every third stall the opening
should be six inches square.
l have no doubt that bad air in the
stables is almost wholly responsible for
the tuberculosis plague, and that reform
in this line is the only cure. The
modern model stable, socalled, is usu-
ally a model of deformity-a suffoca-
ton box, model tuberculosis nur-
sery.-H. l.. Bizby, Chelsea, Vt, in

Poultry as Insect Destr0yers.

There is one valuable advantage in
the keeping of poultry on the farm
which is usually overlooked, and that
is the vast number of insects DESTROYED
by poultry. II every insect caught by q
hen in one day could be counted and an
estimate made for the number Of in
sects eaten by flock of twenty-five
hens, IL would be shown that hens are
more useful in that respect than may
be supposed. When busily at work
scratching the hen secures many grubs
and worms, while the larve OF insects
also assist in providing them with food /.
A flock of turkeys will search every
nook and corner of field for insects,
and as the turkey can consume large
amount of food 1t will find it If it can
be had. They will clear q tobacco
field OF the green worms more thor
oughly than can any number of persons
that may attempt such disagreeable
job. The active guinea is ever on the
search over the field for insects. 1t
does not scratch, but every blade of
grass is looked over, and it rarely comes
up to the barnyard to seek food. Its
industry prompts it to secure its own
food, and in 80 doing hundreds of in
sects are destroyed. The ravenous
ducF, whose appetite seem never salts.
fed, will attempt to seek enough in the
fields, and 1t captures not only insects,
but the field mouse and small reptiles
also small lizards, toads, and the little
garter snakes will be eaten by ducks
and geese If other food is not plentiful;
but If insects abound they will be cor
tent with eating them in preference to
anything else. The goose also is an
excellent forsger and does good service.
LII we will but consider that the work
of poultry in the fields is from early
morn until sunset, and consider that
this work continues throughout the
whole season, the number of insects de-
stroyed will appear too great for esti-
nation, and this valuable service on the
part of poultry should be counted in
with the profits in their favor, for while
killing off the insects they are not only
saving the crops but also reducing the
cost of their own subsistence as well as
keeping in better health and condition
than under any other method that can
be devised for DECENTRALIZATION Jour-
nal.
