that he lives in u mighty good coun,
try, but that very few farmers read
agricultural papers, and gives voice
to the pious expression

farm and would read as least two

OF course we would, and that time
will oome bye and bye if we but pa
tiently wait for it. Some of them
who do not believe in book farming
will have TO die and be laid away in
their graves; others will be forced
into adopting better methods and
will then be hungry for farm papers
of the right sort; others will be
shamed into it by noticing the larger

ANNE G. WEBSTER

During my thirty years experience
in breeding fancy poultry, my focks
were frequently visited by cholera,
and I have spent at least a hundred
dollars trying almost everything re-

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE SOUTH.

It is true shat great progress has
been made during the past ten years
in the way of developing the manu-.
featuring industries of the South.
The increase has in one State been as
much as 1875 per cent. And this will
continue. Manufacturing oenters
are rapidly appearing and numerous
lines of activity are becoming
marked. Who can say what the
limit will be ten years hence! But
manufacturing is not the great op
~portunity of the South. The oppor.
tunity rests not with the new cen.
fury. 1t is no5 the result of a new
discovery. It is not the outcome of
legislation and commercial advertis-
ing. The opportunity is a gift of

Of agricultural practice and enter

A successful agriculture is a re-
s~ouroeful one it may fight against
the inevitable, but the result will
be in line of the fttest TO survive.
New England witnessed this when
the Western wheat and corn fields
drove her from the production of
these staple crops. The West was
better adapted and won in the fight
While this waR going on the South
wGs producing cotton, tobacco and
sugar cane. But now other parts
can produce these crops as less cost
than the middle South. In these
States the universal practice of cot,

place is coming

The soil of the middle South is
naturally fertile. Continual crop

she humus, but its productivity will
be restored with the growth of
leguminous crops
The South has sent it's cot6onseed

fed so live stock, thereby building

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND Eses.

@SNO IA 44S@N
Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
From careful test is has been shown
that the largest egg production is
always during the period of greatest
food consumption and the smallest
egg Weld was when the food oon
sumption was least. This invariably
proves the case, so that n can dc,
pend upon the truth of IL. The
amount of food consumed sometimes
varies according 80 its quality. On
may make the ration so fattening
that the hens will become too fat for
egg laying, but with a reasonable
diet the egg production will be In
direct proportion TO the mount or
food fed and eaten. This means OF
course that the hens are able TO
digest and assimilate food, and not
waste it. The feed should be given
only in suoh quantities and times as
needed, and when the hens will eat
il up clean, leaving no waste at ali
behind.
There are several things 80 Dol
slider which will help 80 stimulate the
food consumption so that a direct
ratio will be held between the amount
eaten and the number of eggs pro
duced. One of these is daily exer-
cise. The hens must receive exer-
oise daily so keep them in good con
dition. They cannot eat, digest and
assimilate a heavy diet unless they
receive exercise in proportion 10 the
food. When stuffed with food for
fattening, chickens and capons can
for a few weeks eat a heavy diet
without exercise but if this was kept
up for any great length of time the
birds would sioken and die. They
could not continue the process with
out causing trouble in the digestive
organs In feeding for eggs the pro,
cess must be kept up indefinitely.
Experiments have shown also that
hens exercised will eat from two 30
five per cent. more food daily than
those not exercised. These same hens
will also lay from five TO ten per cent
more eggs.
Next 80 exercise is the selection OF
the right kind of food. Here is Ii
wide latitude offered TO the beginner,
and really every one must lind out
the solution for herself. Begin by
feeding a mixed diet of suoh foods
that are the readiest at hand and the
cheapest TO obtain. Sometimes one
is located 80 that wheat screenings
are about As cheap as anything, and
nothing stimulates the birds 80 lay
ing more than these screenings.
Wheat is far ahead of corn for egg
production, and it should be made
the most of at all times. Green things
from the garden, scraps from the
table and the refuse from mills all
make a varied diet shat will give the
best results for the least possible out
lay of funds.
