A POULTRY FARM OF SIzE.-It May
prove matter of surprise to state that
Mississippi has 100000 poultry farm.
Here is the proof: "The second larg.
est poultry farm in the United States, y
says the Bay Waveland Commercial
Pamphlet, ''is located fifteen miles
from Bay st Louis. 5000 laying hens
ply their vocation, 1900 ducks and as
many turkeys are portion of the en-.
terprise. Twenty to thirty 600 and
800 egg incubators are in constant use.
This alone demonstrates the success OF
the poultry enterprise. Commenting,
the Sea Coast Echo says: When the
pamphlet in question was being pre-
pared it was rule to make no e1ag-
gerations, and no statement that could
not be fully sustained upon investiga-
ton. The poultry farm located at
Bryant's, on the Louisville and Nash
Vile line, was established few years
ago at a cost of 100000. 1t is one of
the greatest and most interesting.

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-I have success
fully used this simple remedy for years,
and never failed to cure sick fowl,
if the medicine was given before the
bird was in the last stages of the dis
ease, when no remedy will cure. Boil
three ounces of green white ash bark
in two quarts of water. After it cools,
mix corn meal with it until it is of the
consistency for proper feeding. Then
add teaspoonful of cayenne and a
tablespoonful of black pepper to from
one to two quarts of the feed, and force
the fowls to eat it. 1t will cure every
time. The chicken cholera is a diar-
rhea, and the bark and pepper act as
astringents. Most of the so-called
chicken cholera and gapes in little
chickens, are caused by drinking wa
ter which stands in the poultry yard
and the barnyard. These diseases can
be largely obviated by having the land
we'll drained and perfectly smooth, so
that no water can stand on it after
rains, and by keeping pure fresh wa
ter where the towels can drink at will.

REVOLT OF The BOXERS.
The Anti-ForeIgn Society That IL Placing
the Chinese Government In Peril.

The Anti-ForeIgn Society That IL Placing
the Chinese Government In Peril.
New York Sun, Friday.
The grave situation in which the
Boxers of China have involved not
only foreign interests in China, but also
their own country, is the result of the
past eight months of active hostility
on their part against missionaries and
their converts. The Boxers began
their raids in October last and their
movement has grown till they seem to
have set the whole of northeast China
af1ame.
The Boxers are avowedly an anti
foreign society. Whether or not the
society exists in all the provinces it
certainly covers a wide area, being
strongly organized in Human and other
central provinces on the Yangtse river,
as well as in Shan-tung and Pechili
provinces in the northeast of China
proper. If the report is true that
force of the Boxers of Human are on
their way north to re-enforce their
brethren in Pechili, it may be said that
the anti foreign activity of this society
now extends through China on line
that is $50 miles long. At any rate,
the scenes of their numerous murders
and outrages within the past eight
months extends over territory that
measure $50 miles north and south,
from southwestern Shan-tung to the
neighborhood of Pekin. The width of
the territory in which the outrages
have been reported varies from about
rs miles in Shan.tung to about 170|
miles in the latitude of Tientsin. In
other words, as near as can be estimated
from the reports as to the localities
where the Boxers have murdered
native Christians and destroyed their
property or that of the mission stations,
this series of outrages has extended
over an area of about 10000 square
miles aud the area has been increasing
very rapidly within the past few
weeks.
The most recent report says that the
Boxers have killed eight Methodist
missionaries. No definite details with
regard to these alleged murders have
been received. If the report is true
they have departed from their policy,
which has been to let the missionaries
alone. To be sure, small party of
Boxers in December last murdered the
Rev. Sydney Brooks in Shan-tung
but this crime appears to have been
committed without the approval of the
leaders of the movement. They re-
membered how promptly Germany
resented the murder of missionaries a
little over two years ago and that her
wrath was appeased only when China
conceded to her a valuable harbor
and great privileges in Shan-tung.
The Boxers did not desire early in
their offensive operations to incense
the powers so far as to cause their di.
rect Intervention for the restoration of
order, and so they have waged their
war upon foreigners only by killing
native Christians and destroying mis-
sion property at out.stations, while
stopping short of shedding the blood
of white men.
But the fire they have kindled has
spread very rapidly in the.past month,
and they now seem emboldened to defy
not only their own government, but
the Powers as well.

How To TRANSFER BEES. Bees
never attack when their stomachs are
filled with honey or other liquid sweets.
This is their normal condition when
swarming, and, therefore, are then
harmless, and also when returning
ladened to their hives. Neither do
they attack when thoroughly frighten-
ed. We frighten bees by blowing
smoke among them or by rapping
rather violently on their hives. When
bees are alarmed in their hives by
smoke or cuncussion, their first i'm
pulse is to fill their honey bags from
their combs. Bees in a hive that is
constantly being raped against will in
a few minutes rush boldly out from
among their combs into an empty
skip or box set over their place of exit
from the hive.

BIT OF NEGRO PHILOSOPHICAL A
serious application of the refrain in
the song, eff you amt got no money
you needn't come round" was pointed
out the other night by Booker T..
Washington in his lecture in the Gray's
armory in aid of the endowment fund
of the Tuskegee Industrial school, of
which he has been the head for nearly
20 years. One phase of his address
was devoted to impressing the Negro
with that commercial side of ethics
which parallels responsibility with
property. After citing instance after
instance of individual success on the
part of colored people, he told hu-
morous story of a member of the "po'h
white trash" who endeavored to cross
a stream by means of ferry owned
by black man.
"Uncle Mose," said the white man,

no money"
Uncle Nose scratched his head.
"Doan you got no money It all ?" he
queried.
"No," said the wayfaripg stranger.
"I haven't q cent"
"But it doan cost you but 3 cents" "
insisted Uncle Nose, "ter cross de

"I know" said the white man "but
I haven't got the 8 cents"
Uncle Nose was in quandary.

The PROFIT OF THINNING PEACHES.

A New Jersey peach grower said at
the recent state horticultural conven-
ton in regard to thinning peaches /:
This portion of the work of peach cul-
ture should receive much attention
from the orchard owner. If too great
a number of peaches are left upon the
tree to ripen, one of two results must
surely follow-either the fruit will be
undersized and often so inferior in
quality and insipid in flavor as to
render it worthless for market, or else
the tree will, from overwork, become
exhausted and finally blight and die.
The most perfect way of thinning
the fruit from trees that are overloaded
is to pick off by hand, leaving it from
4 to 6 inches apart but where help is
scarce and economy is the object, l
have seen poles or long clubs used in
removing the surplus fruit with good
result. There must be, however, some
rule adopted to determine the quantity y
of fruit that we wish to remain to ri
pen upon the trees. This the individ-
ual grower must largely determine for
himself. When he fully realizes that
a peach tree can successfully ripen
only a given number of pounds of fruit
the amount varying according to
the age size, and condition of the tree
he will possess knowledge requisite
for correct thinning. He must bear in
mind that the profits of peach or
chard depend almost solely upon two
features-the size and color of the
fruit.
The following may prove to be OF
some value in determining the amount
of fruit that should be left to ripen
upon the tree:
Number of peaches, 300; diameter,
81 inches; baskets, 4; weight, 100
pounds. Number of peaches, 600; di-
ameter, A. inches; baskets, 4; weight,
100 pounds. Number ofpeaches, 72O
diameter, 2 inches; baskets, 4; weight
100 pounds.
Accuracy of grading will in the end
enhance the value of the crop. Small
or large peaches should be graded to
uniform size but the small fruit will
not ordinarily pay shipping expenses.
