STEVENS BACK IN ATLANTA.
Says Farmers Are Buying Mules and FertiI-
zers Heavily.

zers Heavily.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
has returned to Atlanta from trip to
this section of the state, and reports that
practically all the cotton in the interior
has been brought to market. the recent
furry in the price being responsible for
the marketing of the remnant of the
crop. He says that the farmer is buy
ing heavier in mules and fertilizer than
years. The amount of fertilizers al
ready purchased, he says, is double the
amount sold last season up to this time.
In connection with the figures given
ont by the department of agriculture
showing the remarkable increase in the
sale of fertilizer tags in January over the
same month of last year Mr.. Stevens
announces the total sale of tags from
October, 1899, to February 7, 1900, and
interestingly compares the sale with
that from October, 1898, to February,
1899. The rate of increase is even more
startling in character than that shown
by a comparison of January sales. From
October, 1898, to February, 1899, the
sale both of fertilizer and cotton seed
meal tags was ,31O,762 and from Octo-
ber,l1899, to February 1900, the sale is q
263 $50.

On the Railroad.

Another woman, one who spends
half her time travelling on the rail-
roads, says: What delightful world
this will be when one person in 1000
learns to respect the rights and feel
ings of others. Nowhere does one
suffer more from the selfshness and
disgusting habits of the average hui
man being than in railway car. First
the lack of ventilation has q depress-
ing effect upon a sensitive tempera-
ment and fatigues one quicker than
miles of walking in the open air. Next
comes the human annoyances. There
is the peanut eater sitting opposite.
Now, any one who would eat peanuts
except in ten-acre lot or standing on
a burning deck where certain boy in
history is said to have devoured them
by the peck ought to be flayed alive.
What, then, should be done with the
creature who devours peanuts by the
quart on a railway car where it is i'm
possible to escape their horrible odor?
To me there is nothing more offensive
than the smell of peanuts, and when
that everlasting boy comes through
the car calling out sailed peanuts
frequently bankrupt myself by buying
up his whole stock. But one cannot
keep this sort of thing up. 1t would
cost less to have bill passed by the
legislature forbidding their SALE"

One or Many Breeds.

The amateur poultry raiser frequent
ly makes the mistake Of trying to keep
good many breeds Of fowls. He
thinks how nice it will be to have a
dozen different breeds in as many
yards, where he can watch them from
day to day. He does not suspect that
an increase in the number Of flocks
will enormously increase the labor of
caring for them. But he finds that out
in time. He gets his pens and yards
built and secures his birds. Then
the trouble begins. He is generally a
business man and can devote only a
small amount of time mornings and
nights to the care of the fowls. He
will be astonished how busy he will
be kept looking after half dozen
flocks II he feeds them as is necessary
to keep them in health. In short
time he will find the work so burden
some that he will stop feeding cooked
mash and will cut them down to the
grain ration because that Is easy to
feed. The after results will be bowel
troubles. The many pens are all right
for the man that wants to make q
business Of raising poultry or for the
man that IL able to hire the work done,
but the amateur will find It pays him
best TO stick To Q single breed.

We doubt; if there is, better single
grain feed for poultry than oats. We

that oats are very dangerous, as the

strange that such opinions are held by
poultry raisers anywhere. We. can
conceive of such an accident if the oats
are fed when the fowls are very hun

the oats can do only good. The writer

All wooden vessels that hold butter

butter should be soaked in brine. Com
mission men claim that much of the
mouldy butter in the market is due
to the fact that tubs and pals are not
soaked enough before being used and
that parchment paper is sometimes not
soaked at all. 1t is the little things

1t special order for the third day VT

butter men have made good fight,

some modification Of it, will ultimate
ly be passed.

are few farms in the north where a
supply of ice is not obtainable. 1t will
cost little to construct house that

dust is quite plentiful and may be
used for more than one year. This
supply of ice will prove financially
valuable, as it will enable the maker
of the butter to reduce the cream to a
temperature at churning time where 1t
will make butter OF good grain.
After the butter is made 1t can be kept

sired to build up private trade ice
will prove very great help.

Poultry Notes.

There are constantly going the
rounds of the papers most astonishing
estimates as to the volume of the
poultry industry in this country. We
hear speakers at farmers institutes
glibly reel off the statistics as to our
poultry products, and an unsophisti-
Gated listener would suppose the sta
tlstlcs to be worth something. But
they are not, Poultry estimates are
the widest kind of guesses taking the
country as whole. In some of our
large produce centers it is not difficult
to approximate the number of birds
and eggs received and sold; but those
reports are of little consequence COM
pared to the $4,000 small markets of
which there are no reports. The num-
Der OF birds and eggs that are used on
the farms cannot be known, for no
record is kept of them. When we con-
slider that there are over 100000
farms we see how inestimable must
be the poultry produce disposed of on
those farms. But to illustrate the way
IN which statistics are made: One
writer says: when we compare the
most careful statistics that can be
compiled, we are astonished at the
magnitude of the figures, for we find
that the combined product of eggs and
poultry as an article of food. from a
commercial standpoint, alone, amounts
to the enormous sum of 100000 900.
Now, when we add to this the number
OF live fowls in this country, about
loO,OOO,OO0, at an average value of
81 each, which is fair valuation of
the whole; that is, placing all of the
standard varieties of fancy-bred poul-
try with the common grade laying
stock of the whole country; thus. the
live fowls plus the commercial poultry
and eggs, amounts to 100000 900. :"
We can but regard such figures as
most extravagant. Instead of 81 per
fowl the estimate should be Is cents
priced fowls in the country, compared
to the whole number is Insignificant
The estimate of 150,OOO,OO0 live fowls
is entirely guesswork. We have at
the present time no poultry statistics
that are worth anything.
We sometimes hear about hen lay
ing two eggs in day, and it seems
quite an incredible story. But it may
easily happen and doubtless does. But
it does not indicate any great laying
power, but rather arrangement of
the laying organs. We have seen a
hen egg-bound and on examination
found the production of the egg so
delayed that another full-sized one
was pushing up behind it, The two
eggs would naturally be dropped with
in a few hours of each other.
Without doubt hens are helped by
exercise, such as scratching in cut
straw for their grain, yet we feel that
the idea is overdone. The value Of
this exercise must depend to very
great extent on the food that is fed.
Where fowl is fed corn. and corn
only she needs the exercise to help her
to digest more Of the corn so as to get
from it enough protein to serve her
purposes, without at the same time be-
coming too fat. The exercise causes
rapidity Of breathing and that means
the burning up of more fat through
the agency Of the lungs. But the first
outlook should be to feed fowl q
ration so constituted that no necessity
will exist for burning up a part Of the
feed through the lungs.
