The Farmers Progress.

This is an age Of progress, in
all lines of farming, manufacture
ing, stock and poultry raising.
There was never a time when
we had so many Poultry Jour
nails. All farm papers have a
poultry department and lots OF
other publications, all nrove that
the poultry business T. also pro-
crossing. Never vs. there a
time when people rai~r'tas many
horses, cows, hogs and pure bred
chickens. Never has there been
so much interest taken in this
South land along all lines and the
poultry business keeps abreast
with the rapid strides toward
perfection. Still we hear some
men say the old dung hill is best
of all yet for the farmer. They
have never tried to see. They
might as well say the old milk
cows they had forty years ago,
when each farmer kept from
four to eight cows to.get enough
milk and butter for small fam.
lily, are as good as the COW of to-
day. To-day none of us will
keep COW when she gives less
than "a lbs. OF milk a day and no
medium family keeps more than
one or two cows and get more
milk and butter than they used
to from a half dozen, and We
these same men are as careful to
see into the stock of cows when
they want to buy, as man
should be, if he was tracing the
ancestry of the young lady whom
he thought of making his wifet
Yet they say there is nothing
in the stock of a chicken.
Mani stop and think, don't you
believe in progress? If not why
don't you plant the smallest and
sorriest looking corn you can
find. No, progressive farmers
all try to improve all crops BY
selecting the best for seed and
by selecting the best of all their
stock for breeders. A great
many have done this with their
poultry, but still the most of the
farmers give the old hen no
thought, but let her make her
own living and rock her every
time she is caught out of the
yard. If you don't care for pure
bred poultry, improve those you
have, by breeding a pure bred
cock and mate with the common
hens and you would be surprised
see how much it would better
the flock, A few dollars spent
this way each year would please
you very much and would make
as big show as any dollar you
spent that year. Look after the
flock, see what they need. Near
ly every flock needs the size in,
creased. Bay a large cock. Il
they are large buy a small breed

sets of instruments in Lord Roberts

ed successfully. All scientific ques-
lions and experiments made by
rapidly moving army are of neces-
sity Scantily reported by COM

counts of the tests with the wireless

Considerable interest will be shown

one important Improvement in
the system in war times was made
through the cooperation of the hero
of Mafeking. The difficulty of send
ing messages any great distance in
a mountainous country was over
come by the invention of a system
of kites by Baden Powell In order

cessful IL is necessary to raise the
wire attached to the instrument to
a considerable distance in the air.
Thus to telegraph 60 miles, the ele-
walton of the wire should be at least
100 feet above the surface. It was
often impossible to find any way to
secure this altitude for the wires.
but by the using of kites the prob
lem was easily solTed Kites of the
Baden Powell type consequently
became inseparably associated with
the wireless telegraphy in South
Africa, and it was by this means
that messages were sent a distance
of so miles.
Slgnor Mareoni expresses himself
satisfied with the experiments made
in the war, and so far as the reports

all favorable in their results Both

THE important discovery that is
claimed to have been made at Ephe'
ans of a correspondence between the
Saviour and King Agrippa, and
which has been published through
ont the earth, is discredited by the
leading professors of Biblical manu-
scripts and Inscriptions in this and
the old country. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that if the explorers
have found the inscription they claim
to have found, it does not show that
ii is guinine, but on the contrary, 1t
will be regarded as fraud and for
gerry of the fifth century, because
it is not believed that Jesus ever
wrote such letter.
Prof. J. Rendel Harris, who Is re
gsrded as the foremost man OF
the day in such matters, does not
hesitate to pronounce the discovery
as a fraud, and says such hoaxes are
not uncommon. He says there is some
thing suspicious about the whole re-
port and it will take absolute proof
TO convince him Of its genuineness.
Prof. Harris says even if the discov-
cry is actually established, it would
tell US nothing that we did not al
ready know. at would not prove
that the tradition of Christ's CORE
spondence with Agripps WAS founded
in fact, nor that the letters found
in Ephesus are actual prescriptions
from manuscript. 1t would hot throw
the smallest ray Of light upon
the question Of Christs scholarship
and of his correspondence with other
men. II such an inscription had
been found, and it were really Of the
fifth century, it would be Of slight
value, except as proving that certain
beliefs and traditions of the second
and third centuries were still credit
ed in the fifth"
