The Farm Home.

1t is said that the Irish maidens
have the finest compilations and
brightest eyes in the world, and the
reason for this is attributable not
alone to the climate, but to the free
out-of-door life they lead.
The woman on the farm has the
advantage of her city sister in that
she may spend more of her time out
in the open air. If she is in SYM
pathy with that spirit, now prevalent,
for identifying the surroundings of
the home, she will have plenty to do
in her spare moments, and at the
same time be taking the best tonic in
the world, that of fresh air and exer-
else.
When our southern land yields such
beautiful wild vines as the honey
suckle, the Cherokee rose and the Vir-
ginia creeper, it seems n pity that
there should ever be such thing as
an ugly fence or building. With just
the least possible care they could be
transformed into a thing of beauty.
Flowers require great deal of at
tention, but il time is scarce there are
the hardy shrubs such as the lilac, the
SNOWFALL, the syringa, the bridal
wreath, and the crepe myrtle, which
can pretty much take care of them
selves after the planting. From ev-
cry window in the home there is the
possibility of a picture far more beau
tiful than ever came from the brush
of Che greatest of the old masters,
while the delicate scent of flowers can
add to the attraction of the adorn-
ment inside.
With the wealth of foliage we may
have in the south, there is little ex-
cuse for an ugly environment. Let us
cultivate love for the beautiful and
in so doing we are adding to our own
happiness as well as that of others

DONT'S FOR GOAT BREEDERS,
A Few Practical Suggestions to
Those Who Have Gone Into the
Angora Goat Guinness.

Don't get too many goats TO start
with, and if you want to stay in the
business don't buy wethers and does
mixed, if you can not keep them in
separate pastures. Don't breed your
does to kid buck just because he is
cheap. Don't have your kids come at
all times in winter, April, or even
Nav. is soon enough. Don't think that
the little red lice which you find on
the goats are essential to good
growth of mohair, but dip the goats
in some reliable dip; it will knock
the lice and save the goats. Don't
think that because they are fond OF
brush they will fatten when the
shadows of the bushes rest on them,
or when there are plenty OF bushes
lust across the fence for them to look
at. Don't be afraid to change them
from one pasture to another; the
fresh feed won't hurt them a bit.
Don't get mad if your hired man
leaves the orchard gate open; the
fruit trees won't hurt the goats.
Don't try to keep goats unless you
have perpendicular fences, which
should be at least three feet high, of
any material. Don't believe the man
who tells you that goats are immune
rerarding disease and vermin. Don't
be afraid to invest the price of ten
does, If necessary, in good buck, at
least a yearling past, and after get
ting your new buck don't expect him
to rough it through in new climate
and then shear u heavy fleece. Don't
expect to raise kid from every doe
if the pasture has an old SOW or two
in it, as kids are fancy hog feed.
Don't expect your mohair to bring the
highest price if it is full of burrs and
straw, or if it is full of kemp. Don't
think because you have read a few
book on goats and handled them q
year or two that you can not learn
something new. Don't ask advice from
an experienced man and then try
some theory of your own. Don't think
because they will eat all kinds Of
rough feed that good, nutritious feed
will hurt them. Don't expect breed
ey of fine bucks who advertises at a

HERE AND THERE.

The profit of the Angora goat lies
in three thngs-h his fleece of mohair,
his meat, and his clearing lands of all
kinds of brush, Lrambles, briers, etc.
The average yield of cotton in al
the foreign countries where it is
grown is about So pounds of lint cot
ton per acre. i1
AS mBny pounds per acre of rice
can be grown as Of wheat. Rice sells
for about two and half times the
price of Wheat per pound.
The largest egg in the world,
which was found buried in sand in
Madagascar, is in the city of London.
1t measures foot in length, ard Il
yard in circumference, anu is valued
at three hundred dollars.
There is no danger that the rice
market will be overstocked. We can
grow the pearly grain at less cost
than where labor costs only five cents
per day. This is because we work
with machinery. -
Poultry authorities contend that
water, except for drinking, IS not re-
quired for ducks. We have raised
ducks successfully exactly that way,
but had better success when the birds
had free a, cess to large reservoir.
The experiment stations are taxi
ing up poultry culture and from
thence we will get egg records and
other facts that will be entirely reli-
able. Frivate, unconfirmed records
do not count-merely fill up space in
the papers.
"A horse will live twice as long
without either dry food or water, as
with dry food without water. A horse
will live from % to Is days without
food but with plenty of water. 4 &
The excessive drain upon the sup
ply of horses for military purposes in
the last few years has practically de-
pleted this country's number OF good
horses, and there exists to-day an ac-
tual shortage which can not be made
gccd for several years.

WONDERFUL CASE IN INDIANA.

Buck Creek, Ind, July 15th.-Mrs.
Elizabeth Rorick, of this place, had
rheumatism. She says: GAIL the doc
tors told me they could do nothing

the pain was so great that she could
not sleep at night.
She used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
she is well and entirely free from
pain or any symptom of the Rheuma-
tism.
"Are you still using Dodd's Kidney
Pills?" was asked.

slightest return of my old trouble. I

She pictured his room with her photo
graph smiling down at him from over the

looked demurely at him from leather case
on the dresser.
She could see him often standing in front
of her mrrored likeness and making vows
of constancy and fidelity. She knew he
would rather part with anything he had
than those pictures. But they had quar-
relied and she felt she must ask him to re-
turn her photographs, and she wrote to him
accordingly.
When she received his reply she nearly

Poultry Nntea.

Corn is best for the evening feed.
Turkeys and guineas are great for.
ayers for insects.
Game hens make the best settlers
and mothers; they are the least awk-
ward. Ie0 .tI.f tlf
Feed the table scraps to the chick
ems rather than to the pigs.
The farmer should always give his
fowls large run.
Exercise is much better than drugs
as stimulant for egg production.
The best egg producers are not al
ways the best market fowls.
Ducks should have dry quarters at
night. ..,a.... .4Irtt.t
A breed usually has but one domi-
nate talent.
In majority of cases the sooner a
sick hen is killed the better. 1t may
save the rest of the flock.
In building poultry houses remem-
Der the most important requisites are
light, ventilation and warmth. ~
Never breed from immature fowls,
no matter how handsome or perfect
in looks they may be.
10 not feed too plenHfully of soft
feed or the birds will sit and NOPE
after eating.
A growing chick, like a growing
animal, requires plenty of wholesome
food, supplied plentifully and LIBERAL
ly. .
Dark feathers usually cover dark
skin, hence, dark colored chickens are
not popular as table fowls. r.tl
Watch out for lice. .,.. ...
Do not let the chicks get wet.
Give fresh water twice day now.
Chicks raised in brooder must lie
taught to roost. I7IH 'H
Bran and buttermilk make good
ration for laying hens. Slls
Feed your fowls Systematically and
regularly. ...f ,arr'f
An occasional change of feed will
be relished by the fowls and will help
egg production.
Neither the Toulouse of Emblem
breed of geese require much care once
they get started.
1t often pays to kill and eat the
hens that are too fat, as often it is q
long time before they get to laying
again. .- ell
When chickens are trained from
