The Russian sunfower is highly val
ued by poultry raisers as an excellent
and cheap food; single heads measure
from y to "a inches. Fowls eat the
seed greedily, fatten on it, and the re-
suit is bright plumage and a strong
healthy condition. 1t can be raised
much more cheaply than corn, and
is a better egg producing food by far.

If we are impatient with the slow
growth of the orchard, peach trees may
be planted among the apples. They
will give protection to the apples and

1t is not generally the case that the
insect makes the weak appearingplant,
but the sickly plant is the first attack

keeping them free from insects.

From weak stock we must expect
frail chicks, and will see them die
from slight causes. Only when the
breeding stock is in vigorous condition
can we have strong and quick growers.
Corn fed hens do not produce the best
chicks.

A dozen hens will do well on the or
dinary waste of family of six persons.
Many family might have fresh eggs
every day, in a village, without cost by
keeping few biddies to eat the scraps
from the table which would be other
wise entirely wasted.

There is the same reason for feeding
an egg producing ration as there is for
feeding for milk. 1t is too seldom that
the farmer thinks that his hens may
need something to eat; if they do need
it, let them hunt for it, is the thought.

We have but a poor chance to lift the
farm mortgage when we give the horses
and cattle the fence corners only for
shelter from winters cold or the March
winds. There is more money in buy

A certain Dyersburg woman assured
her husband she never told him lie

A teacher of class in arithmetic put

If young trees have good equipment
of roots they will grow while older
ones are overcoming the effects OF
transplanting. An orchard of one
year old trees will overtake one set out
from trees of more mature growth, and
this is especially true of peach trees.

Where warm stables are absolutely
essential in cold weather, it is equally

Whatever reward crown our veal

Whatever reward crown our yearly
efforts, strawberries, honey and poul-
try are sure money getters. The grow
er of strawberries may get greater
profit from less capital in less time
than from any other product. The re-
turns come in when the farmer has lit
tie else to turn off for cash.

The good dairyman will breed up his
own herd, selecting each year the best,
and setting his mark high, that he may

reached his goal.

A flock of hens which has free run
to the corn cribs every day in the year
is sure to dwindle to the minimum in
egg production. 1t will be strictly in
line with the modern way of doing
things to build fence about the crib
or about the hens.

Our horses receive many moments OF
discomfort because of our thoughtless-

One hundred chickens which you
may start in early spring will weigh five
pounds each by October next; and will
make 500 pounds Of the best fresh meat,
surely worth as much to eat or to sell as
the 500 pounds of pork. 1t is but little
trouble to raise the 100 chickens.

The demand for mutton is not rapi,

The demand for mutton is not rapid
ly increasing in this country, but the
markets are continually calling fol-

more profit, for they are sold as soon
as they have reached the proper age,
and there is no waste in the keeping OF
them

When little flocks of sheep are kept
with any reasonable care they invar-

neat sum in lambs and wool each year,
and the food they eat will amount to

!. TEN PAGES TODAY,
THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.

Cotton has seemingly. a value after all,
Instead of the severe decline that many
predicted would begin the new year, there
has been a steady advance for the last six
or eight days. The gain has been about
one-fourth OF cent per pound, or $1.25
per bale This, added to the advance re-
corded in December, places spot cotton
nearly seven eighths OF cent above the
lowest price of the season.
The gain in prices has been in the face
Of the heaviest movement ever known, and.
defpitc Mr.. Ncills prediction OF twelve
million bale crop for the United States.
There is said to be good demand for
spot cotton, although more of the staple is
In sight than ever before seen at this
time OF the year. This would indicate that
the bulk of the cotton being received ut
American ports was sold long ago, and
therefore can not be offered. 1t is at the
ports because 1t is sold. not because 1t has
to be sold; and in getting there. although
plain evidence enough In part conhrmn
ton. of large crop estimates. 1t tells OF
nothing that lies behind It. and the mar
kets are more concerned MS to the TN
certainties OF the remainder OF this crop
than the certaintics of what has been seen.
The falling off in receipts recently has
caused many traders to believe that the
crop has been overestimated and that
there is comparatively little cotton left on
farms In this country Should this re-
ceive further confirmation within the next
week 1t is safe to predict that the present
advance will be maintained. with a posi-
bility OF further gain.
