Certainly; and for that matter the came equality

II is due in part to the competition of the Gulf
ports because Of the shorter haul and also to
the Transatlantic steamship rates the several
ports The Gulf ports are nearer some of the
Western wheat fields than We are. 1t naturally
follows that lower goes with a shorter haul.
Then too. the Gulf ports are able to offer cotton
as well as grain to make Il complete cargo.

SHARPE WINS THE POST OF YALErs HALE.
BACK, AND THE BLUES PRACTICE ENDS.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1900-01-03

During the last few years there has
been great deal OF discussion, in
both this country and in England. as
to the relative amount of air space that
should be allowed to each animal in
the stable. Across the water the COP
tention has been Tor spaces per animal
varying from 450 to 1000 cubic feet.
Some of the English professors de.
clare that 1000 cubic feet is by far too
much, as the stables would have to be
of enormous size to give each animal
the amount indicated. To an Ameri-
can farmer this does not seem much of
a problem in itself. Even 1000 cubic
feet means only cube ten feet in each
dimension. As many of our barns are
built, each animal gets far more than
that amount.
Take, for instance, the ordinary
American farmer that keeps two or
three horses and half dozen COWS.
His whole barn is practically at the
service OF his animals, 80 far as their
breathing Is concerned. The animals
have not only the whole spnce from
the feeding floor to the roof OF the
barn, but during much of the winter
they have the space made by the disap-
pearing hay, both on the scaffolds and
IN the NOW. The American hay NOW
itself is an immense affair and the air
space it equals would seem to Danish
all necessity OF considering that par
ticular phase Of housing the stock.
But whatever the air space, we need
better ventilation. Many of our barns
are ventilated on the principle that
warm air is necessarily foul and will
rise to the top of the barn and escape
through ventilator. That 10 q mis-.
take. 1t ID true that the warm cir will

thoroughbred Fowls.

"Where is the value of thorough.
bred poultry?" said farmer the other
day. "I do not see why common
poultry sells Mt eight cents pound
and thoroughbred at from $2 to So
head" Now, why thoroughbreds
should be worth more than the com.
mon stock found with many of our
farmers is easily explained. Many
farmer to-day is keeping from fifty to
100 fowls of the old common varieties
or mongrels, inbred and inbred for
years. He does not take the interest
in them that the man would who has
used his hard cash, time and brains
to produce pure, profitable, thorough
bred stock; in fact, he takes no inter-
est in them at all, for the sight OF
them gives him no pleasure. Eggs
are few and far between, and he finds
no profit in them. But let that same
farmer invest in few thoroughbreds
and his mind changes. He smiles
when he looks at his flock. and cares
for them properly. He takes pride in
showing them to his friends, and they
yield for him good supply of eggs
that are uniform in color, and instead
of there being loss in keeping poul-
try, he finds that they are paying him
better even than many of his other
branches of farming. A small flock
of fowls can be kept at very lite ex-
pense by utilizing the scraps and
waste from the pantry, which make
the very best feed for the production
Of eggs. And / believe that great
many of our farmers would find il
more profitable to keep only a small
flock of from fifteen to twenty-five
fowls than to keep seventy-fve or 100,
as many of them are doing; or to keep
only few until they know better how
to handle them profitably. A few hens
will supply the family with an abund-
ance of eggs at very small expense
if they are well kept, and will give
their owner much more pleasure in
looking after them than if they were
three times in number what he could
care for. Tennessee Farmer.
