Why The South Is Poor.

A pound of raw cotton is worth
about 5 cents. When it is spun and
woven into fabrics it is worth from
25 cents to 81, according to the fig
ures of Boston correspondent OF
the New Orleans Picayune. Massa-
chusetts has 5000 spindles and an
nually manufactures l,250,OOO bales
of cotton. This cotton she buys from
the South at sets pound. After she
| has spun and woven this cotton she
sells a large part of it back to us at
25 cents to 81 pound. That is why
Massa chusetts is rich and Georgia
is poor. 1.-The South says the
Picayune, "hews the wood and
draws the water; it does the druid
gerry of producing raw material for
the North to manufacture and get
rich upon. It is this which keeps
the South poor and always will, until
the Southern people shall manu-
facture their own products.

WEDDING OUT FLOCKS.
In No other Way Can the Standard of
Farm Poultry Re Elevated
LegitimateIy.

Wedding out the flock improves il
every year, as higher standard will
result. By an observation of the in
dividuals much can be learned, says
Mirror and Farmer. The good hens
become pets, and pride in their indi-
vidual excellence on the part Of the
owner results. The young stock Will
be hatched only from the best produc-
ers. instead of from eggs taken indis-
criminately from the egg basket. No
farmer who will carefully Gull out the
drones need depend on breeders to pro-
duce breeds for him. Pure breeds
should be used, however, and especial
" pure-bred males. Even with the
choicest stock the matter of selection
should not De overlooked. There are
drones and idlers in aristocratic focks
as well as in the flocks of low degree.
There is room for improvement in
every direction The object should be
TO impress upon poultrymen and farm
ers the Importance of close scrutiny
of the stock. and to teach the fact that
a profitable flock can be made up of
what may look like unpromising ma

HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY.
TIE Ordinary Farmer Can Make Ma
Money Out of Feeding Cattle
for His Neighbors.

A correspondent asks US to advise
him what compensation a farmer
should have for fattening cattle belong
ing to another man, says the Home
stead. He wishes to know what would
be just and fair to both feeder and
owner, the feeder furnishing every
thing in connection with the fatten-
ing of the cattle. The question is one
that we could not answer with any rea-
sonable hope of furnishing a basis for
such a contract as would be equitable
to both feeder and owner. without see
ing the cattle, and even then it tswould
depend upon how good guess we were
able to make about what the cattle
would probably do in view of their
condition when they go on feed, their
breeding, the length of time they were
to be fed, the price of feed, and the
other conditions surrounding the un-
dertaking. If there is any one prop
osition in regard to cattle feeding that
has been more completely established
during the past couple of years than
another, it is that there are cattle and
cattle, and that while some will respond
TO feed promptly and continuously and
make regular and steady gains in
satisfactory way. there is a large per-
centage of the cattle going into the
feed lots that will do nothing of the
kind. The usual basis on which such
contracts are made consists of the pay
ment of so much per pound for the gain
that is put on. The cattle are weighed
in 70 the feeder and weighed back
when delivered back to the owner.
What a given lot of cattle will do in a
given period, however, is a matter that
10 one can positively tell in advance:
and even the expert feeder who has
handled cattle all his life can only
form an opinion that will be Of any
value, in any given case. after care
full examination of the lot of cattle X
IS proposed to feed. Speaking general
" of contracts of this kind, however,
it may be said that they are particular
II hard on the feeder as a rule. The
owner puts in his cattle at given
weights. and they may be either good,
bad or Indifferent; they may be of
kind that will respond readily TO feed,
and gain anywhere from two to three
pounds per day, or they may be of a
hiAO lIIdI Will a kJOdALN d
day gain. or less. The cost of making
the gain may be as low as four dollars
4 hundred, or it may be twice as much
or even more. All these risks the feeder
takes. and when the owner receives his
cattle back he pays for just what the
feeder has accomplished. In other
words. the man who feeds another's
cattle takes all the risks of the trans
action without receiving as compensa-
ton any of the occasional speculative
gains that cattle feeders now and then
make, by reason of striking good mar
ket. 1t is not contract that we would
advise anyone to make unless he is sc
poor and so destitute of credit as to be
unable to raise money to buy cattle and
thus entitle himself to all the possible
gains in the transaction, as well as to
take its risks of loss.

An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried in Scotland.
AT Leith last June $4,000 Scottish-Irish
and Danish eggs were sealed up in a
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
American, and were opened and ex-
amined four months afterward, and
only a small proportion of the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
air is allowed to have free access around
each egg. which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period
ically. so that the yolk of the egg is
constantly embedded in albumen- This
iS accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames. which. by the action of a lever.
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way $4,000 eggs can
be turned over in minute without
any chance of breakage.

Ahonf the HILL of Oats

All who have fed oats know that
there is the greatest difference in their
feeding qualities. 1t is largely depend
ent or the character OF the hull. 1t
has been thought that black-hulled oats
had not only a greater amount of hull,
but that it was also coarser and rough
er than white-hulled oats. But there
are some comparatively new varieties
with white hulls that are as coarse
and rough as barley hulls. Most new
kinds of oats originate in cold or al
le2st cool climates. If they are also
m;ist, as Ireland and Scotland are. the
hsl,ls will be large hut not rough. The
re lghest hulled oats have their origin:
in Norway, Sweden and Russia.

There is great danger of blood pois-
oning if a hog bites the flesh. There
is no poison in the hogs teeth as there
is in the fangs of a poisonous snake.
1t is rather the poison which comes
from the saliva, as the hog is a very
indiscriminate feeder and not at all
cleanly. When a hog is made angry
the amount of its saliva is greatly in
creased, and the danger is greater.
Even a slight confusion. from a hogs
tooth should be promptly washed out
with some antiseptic. Dilute carbolic
