THE BAND PLAYED "OlXIE.
And Sousa Won the Hearts of tle
People Mt Fayetteville.

When North Carolina celebrated It's
centenary. the Marine band was ordri-
ed to Fayetteville to participate III tlr
ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sou>a.
The little southern town was much IN
terested in the advent OF the pres
dents band" and the prevailing op!il-
ion was that Dixie would be tabo,cd
music with us. Before the exercises
local committee waited upon me ana
minated that Dixie" was popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, Eve
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember,
sir, that we are very fond Of Dixie
here"
Bowling gravely, thanked the com.
mittee for their interest In my pro-
gramme, but left them completely il
the dark as to whether l intended to
play the loved song Of the south or not.
The ceremonies opened with patri-
otto address by Governor Fowle laud-
ing the glories of the American flag
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
sic to such sentiment was 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" which the crowd
periodically cheered.
The tone of the succeeding GRAFTON
was equally fervid, but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down, and there was a momcntary
pause, and then as | raised my baton
the strains Of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened. and
such shout as went up from that
throng | have never heard equaled.
Hats were tossed in the air. gray hair
ed men embraced, and for a few min
utes jubilant pandemonium reigned
supreme During the rest Of our stay
In Fayetteville the repertory Of the Ma
rlne band was on this order: yankee

HINT FOR BEGINNERS.
PERSONS Unfamiliar with Poultry
Raising Should Start Business
on Small Scale,

It is better to rent a small farm to
begin with poultry rather than make
an investment in buying, unless the
beginner fully understands the keep
ing of fowls, for the reason that if one
buys he reduces his working capital,
| and should he be unsuccessful he must
stay on the farm until he can sell it.
1t he rents he can return the farm to
the owner and leave. 1t is claimed.
however, that if one buys he can be-
gin and get everything ready for per-
manent stay, which is true, but that is
just what an inexperienced person
should not do. He should start in a
small way and make his capital by in
creasing his focks every year; hence,
by the time he has a large number of
fowls he will know much more than
when he began. He can then take his
fowls to purchased farm and feel
that he has made a good beginning.
This is the main point in favor of poul-
try-the making of the capital. No one
should expect too much for the first
two or three years. Begin with but
little capital, let the fowls increase.
and in five years one may be well es-
tablished, instead of taking the risk
of losing it all at once.-Farm and
FireSide

AMONG THE POULTRY,

If your fowls do not seem to relish
sunflower seed, just hang few heads
on the fence of the poultry yard with.
in reach of the birds and watch the
proceedings.
Make a cellar for your incuba tors,
but see that it can be thoroughly ven.
tilated. Good ventila ton is essential
both in the incubator and in the room
containing it.
This is good time to buy or sell the
surplus cockerels that are old enough
to show their good points for breed
ers. Farmers who wish to introduce
good blood into their flock can now get
two or three birds for the price of one
next January.
Farmers interested in pure bred
poultry should see that the local fair
managers provide proper house for
a poultry exhibit, competent judges,
and proper list of prizes, and then
support the fair by large exhibits.
Pure-bred poultry should have the
same consideration as any other pure
bred stock.

LATEST THING IN BEES.
Everybody Is Now Trying to Produce
Race of Insects with Very
Long Tongues

The latest fad in bees is strain with
long tongues that can extract the nee.
tar from the deep tubes of the red
clover blossoms. Beekeepers have for
a long time coveted the honey in the
red clover blossoms, and the italian
bees when introduced into this ooun-
try were supposed to be able to reach
it, and the job was placed in their
hands. But after lapse of time it
was discovered that but a small per
cent. of them did any work on red clio
yer blossoms.
Of late the fact has been developed
that some bees have longer tongues
than others. Various ingenious con-
trivances have been made to get the ex-
act measurements of the bees tongues,
and it has been found that they vary
in length all the way from 1900 to
20-100 of an inch, the last-named be.
ing very rare. If am not mistaken,
few, perhaps, have exceeded this. II
seems that the required length is
about 25-1OO.
Every beekeeper of note is now
BUSY improving his stock along this
line, and if you were to pick up bee
journal of the present you would fndin
most of the advertisements of queen
breeders the announcement of the
tongue length of the breeding stock.
Everybody is confident that it will re-
quire but little time and patience to
add length to the tongues of all bees.
for there has been so much attained
in breeding bees in other ways that
this does not seem Impossible. 1t is
well known that the common red clio.
yer is perhaps the heaviest nectar pro.
ducing plant known, and honey from
it is of fine quality. The value will not
altogether lie in the honey crop, but
the complete fertilization of the bloom
will add greatly to the seed crop, thus
benefiting the farmer-A. H. Duff, in

The question is now being raised as
to whether richness can be fed into
eggs, and the amateurs are trying to
demonstrate that it can be done. One
man asserts very positively that his
eggs are richer when he feeds very
rich foods than when he feeds foods
not so rich. The trouble with this
kind of evidence is that it is not exact.
A man reports thing as being so be.
cause he believes it is so, relying on his
sense of taste. But, as with the CUES
ton of feeding fat into milk, so here
appearances are not to be relied on
All analysis of the eggs will show thai
the increase of richness is imaginary

THE SWINGING TROUGH.

piece of cloth and place between the
end pieces and the trough. Then, aft,
er you have your end pieces on, get q
piece of lath just long enough and fiji
between the ends, and nail it length
wise just above the level of the trough
This will keep the chickens out of the
water. Put two eyes on the top of the
end pieces to hang it by. Drive stakes
in the ground just far enough apart to
let the trough swing. Put pins in the
top of the stakes to fit the eyes on the
end pieces of the trough. The top OF
the trough should be about six inches
above the ground. You can use your
Judgment about painting it. If you
do, put some water in it and let ii
stand about day before allowing the

SHELTER FOR CHICKENS.

but provide a shelter for the roosts.
This can be made very cheaply by put
ting up a rough board and stake frame,
as shown in the cut, and covering it
with tarred paper, tackinga lath on the
outside, over each rafter. This will
protect the chicks from showers in the
night, but will not shut out any pure

Whenever hens or chicks are al
ways ready to scratch, and seem te
be busy at all times, you need have ne
fear of failure to get eggs from the
hens or rapid growth on the part o!
the chicks. Scratching is their work
their mode of occupying and passing
away time, and indicate business The
hens that keep busy scratching do moi
contract the vices peculiar to those
fowls that have nothing to do, and
they keep fresh and in good health
The bright, red comb, clean plumage
and plenty to do on the part of the
hens, indicate that egg foods are I'm.
necessary and eggs plentiful.-Farn

RAISING FANCY FOWLS.
1t Is a Charming Occupation, But One
Calling for Incessant Care and
Hard Work.

Those who are raising fancy fowls
and the beginners in this are more nu.
merous with each succeeding season
are liable, among other things, to be
troubled with what is known as "foul'
feathers coming in the plumage of 9th.
erwise good birds. Black fowls may
show enough white feathers to spoil
them as breeders and exhibition birds
for white disqualifes. The bird show.
Ding it cannot compete for prize. The
Brown Leghorn or even the Plymouth
Rock may be similarly affected. The
beginner with poultry has so many
things to learn that his brain aches
with trying to contain them all once
and one of the things which befalls
him often is that he does not by vari-
ETY. and proper balance keep his young
stock growing freely. When, for any
cause Qice is as common one as anv.
no doubt the chicks do not grow lust
lily, when the vigor is in any way i'm
paired, the unfortunate white is GER
tain to appear more or less freely. 1t
is plain advertisement of lack some
where along the line. Good, muscle
making, bone-forming foods, that will
not give Indigestion, together with the
grit and charcoal that help to ward off
this trouble, and thick, grassy range
well set with insects, are the simples
that produce also fine color and gloss
of plumage. In other words, wha tever
conduces to- strong vitality favors
good plumage; whatever destroys or
Injuries vigor opens the way for false
plumage. The same is true of the old
er stock at the molt. They need every
help that nature can give, in order to
feather to the satisfaction of their
owner. This thought may also bark
back to the previous generations, to
the transmitted constitution received
from the breeding parents. For fancy
stock that will be source of pleasure
and pride, vigor frstI And let no one
think to maintain it through many
generations of close-yarded, highly
forced stock. The maximum egg yield
is inconsistent with the best develop
ment and feather of fancy stock. That
Is, eggs cannot be put frst.-Myra v.
Norys. in American Gardening.
