Generals Botha, Dewet and DeLar-
ey, who arrived here this morning, met
with a great reception, both from the
government officials and the public.
The Boer generals looked remarkably
we'll and evidently were much pleased

boarded the steamship Nigeria where
Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial sec
rotary, Earl Roberts and General Lord
Kitchener greeted them.

and Brave soldiers ALL" were fire..
quently heard amidst salvos of cheers,
DeWet was fairly cornered by the mob
and had to be rescued by the police

BIG POWER PLANT.
Waters Of Kinchafoonee and MuckaIee
To Be Utilized.

Albany, Ga, Oct. 24.-The indica-

ter power which has been going to
waste in Dougherty county for ages
past is to be utilized On the Kincha-
foonee and Muchalee creeks, just
north of Albany are several places
that would make admirable sites for

unlimited volume could be generated

Recently retired capitalist had his
attention called to the splendid unde-

was sent to make survey Of the falls

1t is believed that the report of the

is an immense volume of water to Be

ALABAMA STATE FAIR,
Great Show Opened with Address by
Governor Jelks.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 24.-The an.
nual Alabama state fair opened here
yesterday in an especially auspicious
manner the weather being exceeding

and the show itself very much better

and exhaustive display of the fruits,

lateral amusements, such as the diving
horses, the large camp of Indians and
the band of cowboys, with their AZ
bucking ponies, are especially interest

WORK FOR THE CHILDREN.
Give Them Few Hens and Let Them Raise Poultry for Their
 Own Enjoyment.

There is no vocation which we. from our own experience and observation, could recommend more highly to boys or girls on the farm than the rearing of fine poultry. It is not only intensely interesting. but healthful and profit able. The fact is to be regretted that more attention is not paid to this in- dustry by those who reside on large farms. Young folks generally take readily to the work and become very much absorbed in it. They should, of course, commence in moderate way. We commenced with one bird "a rooster--and we found that he was worthless without mate, so we ob- tained hen.
 Any child who is old enough to feed his fowls regularly is old enough to start in the poultry business. Attend some good poultry show and see what breed you fancy. If this variety is suitable to your market and surround ings. purchase either fowls or eggs of a reliable breeder and commence work. Prepare a comfortable house for them with yards and a few bird coops, and you will be fixed all right for the irst year.
 Read your poultry journal closely. This is the style of our world at pre- sent, and we must keep up with the times if We wish to be successful. In so short an article ii is impossible to go into details, for there is a great deal to be learned. The short course in poultry raising is this: Commence right; go slow; work and read, and stick to it.--Fanciers' Journal.

SENSIBLE FARM NOTES.

Hard, clayey soils should be turned up to the air in the fall so that the frost can have a chance to work on them during the winter
 Drain tile should not be laid above the frost line, especially if it be un- glazed tile. The hard frosts will pull verize it. Many ditch has had to be redug on this account.
 The 1902 cranberry crop of the United States is estimated by the sec retary of the American Cranberry Growers associa tion to amount to 725, ,O0O bushels, against 1,040,0OO bush els in 1901.
 It is difficult to keep books on the farm. but it must be done if the farmer is to know where he stands and whether or not he is making anything by his farm operations. Farming must be conducted on the same basis as any other business. The sooner the farmers realize this the sooner will some of them be saved from going the downward road to bankruptcy.-Farmers' Review.

The basi piece is imbed- ded in the concrete, and the wall is made two inches wider than the wooden uprights, on each side of them, and as the wall is carried up, the uprights are inclOsed in the con- crete. The latter is made of lime and sand, small stones, cheap, broken bricks and pieces of hard wood. In fact, any hard substance may be worked into the wall. It is leveled up and smoothed over by the lime and sand mixture.

They Solve the Problem of Eggs in Winter and sound. UnfrOsted

western poultry keeper, E. w.. Geer, of St. Francois county, Mo-, bas solved the problem of eggs in winter, and sound, unfrosted combs in the spring. He has done it in a very simple and inexpensive way. At the same time he has insured fer tile eggs in midwinter, something or dinarily very hard to obtain. He has accomplished this by means of con crete poultry houses that are free from dampness in the most rainy sea- sons, and as warm inside in the cold est days as a cellar.
 In constructing the house, an ele- vation is thrown up foot or more above the surface. In this elevation the stone base for the walls is laid
