Fewer farmers and better is what
the good of the whole country re-
qUires. A farmer who can grow
fifty bushels of corn to the acre is
worth a great.deal more to the cOun-
try than two farmers who grow but
thirty bushels. The wants of the
fifty busheI farmer are usually equal
to the wants of two thirty bushel
farmers that is, he is better Gus
toner to the world at large than
both these.-Henry Wallace.

Always set two or three hens at
the same time. Furnish feed and
water. When they hatch, give the
chicks to one mother, and set the
other hens again. They will hatch
two or three broods, if given plenty
to eat and drink. Feed the chicks
clean, sweet food, and furnish fresh
drink the same as you would for a
week old child. When old enough
for grain, sprinkle little air-slaked
lime on the grain to prevent gapes.
1 have raised over 300 chickens in
this way.-G. E. Liller, MountVille,
Missouri.

SOME GOOD FARMING IN DAVIDSON.

bOAE GOOD FARMING IN DAVIDSON,
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
On a recent trip through Randolph
and Davidson counties. I chanced
to see some farm work that deserves
special commentator.
An old farm that few years ago
was overrun with broOmsedge, sas-
safras bushes and briars, having
been stripped of every becoming
feature, was abandoned and given
up as worthless. When in this con-
dition the old farm-originally about
two thousand acres-was divided up
and sold to small farmers, all of the
purchasers being natives of this sec
tion. They had, however, a keen in
sight into the wonderful possibilities
of this old place.
The first steps taken in the process
of restoration were cleaning off the
rubbish, hauling away the surface
rocks and deep plowing. This is
heavy clay land and required strong
team to make good job of the first
real plOwing the land had ever re-
ceived.
The plowing was done in late sum
mer and fall and left in this rough
condition to- freeze and pulverize
during winter. In early spring it
was narrowed down deep and fine
sOwed in oats with 300 pounds high
grade fertilizer to the acre, drilled in
with the oats. A splendid crop of
oats was harvested and the summer
being seasonable an immense growth
of crab grass sprung up all over this
old rundown field of 70 acres.
The change in the general appear
arance of every feature of the old
place was so marked that a livery
man in a town 80 miles away heard
of it, went there and bought the
hay, baled it up in the field and
shipped it to his stables.
The owner of this field told me that
the oats and the hay paid him back
the purchase money for the land and
for all the work he had done on it
besides. This field has been kept in
wheat, clover and oats ever since,
and is improving ali the time, as the
increasing yields from year to year
clearly testify.
haye seen this 7O-acre field in
wheat several seasons and il always
produces a good crop-some 80 bush
els TO the acre.
There are thousands of acres of
just such run down old fields in the
red clay lands in all this piedmont
section of the State, that might be
reclaimed and brought into profit
able cultivation. Wherever I find
this constructive idea of farming
prevailing even in limited degree,
can see that the leaven is working
wonders all around These farmers
are thrifty and hopeful and it is
really refreshing to see with what
vigor and enthusiasm they are push
ing their work. Nearly every home
I saw along the way looked neat and
inviting. Horses and cattle are fat
land slick.
There is absolutely no need for
North Carolina people to be sending
so many millions of their money out
of the State every year for supplies,
when they can be produced here in
such great abundance. More about
this section upon my return.

PERFECET WOMAN.

In these days of gymnastics and exercising fads it wonld seem that one onght to have good ideas of perfect proportions, even if they cannot always be at tained. It will be satisfaction, at least, to know just what are the proper proportions" for which we are striving.
 Women who are correctly pro- portioned and neither too fat nor too lean, are few in number. It may not be amiss to give some idea of the correct proportion of the features and the body. The nose, forehead and chin of equal lenghth. The distances between the eyes the length of the eye. The distance from the inner angle of the eye to the dividing line of the lips should measure from 24 to 9 inches. A woman of 5 feet should weigh no pounds.
 A woman of feet inch should weigh 115 pounds.

DEATHS FROM
CHOLERA INFANTUM.
Four Have Occurred In Akron Within Few
Days-.-Over-F Feeding Is Fatal.

There were four deaths from cholera
infantum in Akron last week. If the
hot weather continues as many more
may be expected this week. Child
ren in their second summer are most
susceptible to the disease, it is gem
orally believed, and physicians ell
dorse the statement.
"Give the babies plenty of fresh air.
Keep the milk that is given them pure
and sweet, and the nursing bottles and
everything pertaining to the baby's
food, perfectly clean Avoid over-feed-
ing and avoid by all means giving
little babies food which they may be
unable to digest. Nothing more solid

than bread and milk should be given
a young baby"
This is the summing up Of what a
number of Akron physicians had to say
on THE subject. 1t was pointed out.
also, that cholera infantum is by no
means confined to babies. Children of
almost any age are likely to be at
tackled, over-eating being the most
common cause of the disease in their
cases.
Vomiting is usually the first symp
tom of chorela infantum, followed by
diarrhoea which, however, will
probably not cause the vomiting to
cease.

He Believes Lorain Will Get
Together.

Judge e. W. Stuart is the logical
candidate for the Common Pleas judge
ship nomination if it should be found
convenient to nominate Summit coun.
ty man at the judicial convention,
Thursday" said a prominent Republi.
can Monday night. "There really is
little hope that there will be a chance
to bring the nomination to Summit
county," he said, ''but If it does, Judge
Stuart will probably be the nominee"
There are those who do not agree
with this gentleman that Judge Stuart
is the logical candidate" However,
the chances that the prize will go out
side of Lorain- county are slender.
Judge Geo. Hayden. of Medina, says
Lorain county will probably be able to
get together. to considerable extent at
least, when it is found that no other
course will save the nomination. Me-
dina county will stand by Lorain
if the latter can get together.
1.-The contest though" said Judge
Hayden, sis more bitter than that In
Medina county year ago."
The Republican caucuses to choose
delegates to the convention will be
held Tuesday evening at the usual
places. Delegates will go to Medina
