Soft Shell Eggs.

Hens that are too fat often Law
soft-shell eggs, but the cause is
usually found in the failure to
supply shell-for ming material,
in the shape of oyster shells or
other similar lime substances.
Oyster shells crushed are con-
venient and so cheap that it is
next to folly not to supply them.
Egg shells, though not as good
will take the place of oyster shells
but care must be used that the
hens r not taught to eat eggs.
Crush every she'll before CIV
ing them to the hens, otherwise
they will soon learn to peck holes
in the eggs aud eat the contents.
Soft-shell eggs are another
source through which the hens
acquire this habit ane if for no
other reason than this, care must
be taken to supply shell forming
material. Some kinds of grit, es.
pecially those rich in limestone,
will in a great measure supply
the needed lime, but nothing so
well as crushed oyster.shells
Keep a box or pan filled with the
shell at hand and the hens will
eat what is necessary for them -

Velvet Beans.

When mentioning this crop as
one of the forage crops which
can be successfully grown in the
south, we remarked that it was
in our opinion, better fitted to be
grown as a soil improving crop
than for feed, as it is such a ram
pant grower that it is exceeding
ly difficult to cut and harvest.
in confirmation of this, we OBJ
serve that the crop was grown at
the North Carolina Test Farm at
Tarboro last year, and turned
down as a preparation for a corn
crop. The result was that the
plot so treated produced the
heaviest yield of corn and stover
of all the plots tested. The
yield of corn on this plot was
$3.50 bushels per acre, and of
slower $3.50 pounds. The next
best yield was on a plot on which
a complete fertilizer had been
applied following a dressing of
lime in 1900. On this, yield was
25.4O bushels per acre and 1900
pounds of slower the next high
est yield was made on a plot on
which Soy beans had been turned
down. This plot made a yield of
34.4O bushels per acre IN 1900
pounds of stover. The value
of the increased yield on the Vel
vet bean plot, over the cost of
fertilizer, taking the value of corn
at so cents a bushel and of stover
at SIS per ton, was $11.54 which
was nearly five times more than
the value of the increased Weld
on any other plot. This great
value as a fertilizer comes largely
from the fact of the wonderful
power of this plant to gather and
store nitrogen from the atmos-
phere. DR.. Stubs told US some
time ago that he had seen nitro
gen nodules on the roots of vel
vet beans nearly as large as
pigeon eggs. Of course the great
mass Of humus producing matter
provided by the plant has also
considerable influence. South

A Good Time to Start.

If you have never kept pure
bred poultry there is no better
time than now to make a start.
Attend your nearest poultry
show and look over the many
varieties on display, form some
definite idea as to the purpose
you desire to keep them for and
then select the breed which you
fancy most. You cannot make
no mistake with any one of a
dozen or so of the old standard
breeds, for there is truly no
best breed. They are all good
and we could name many that
will give satisfaction if rightly
managed.
Our ADVICE would be TO select
one of the utility breeds, those
that are good layers and still
large enough for market purpo-
SeS.
Most of the fanciers are willing
to sell cheap rather than carry
them through the winter, and
early buying serves a double
purpose. You save money and
you become acquainted with
your fowls before the Matching
season opens next spring and
are thus able to better look after
the wants OF the young chickens.

evil Buff Jersey please explain
about the amount of feed he used

and IS hogs, in 1901? He gives
the following invoice of feeds on

ensilage, ten tons of hay, four
sheaf oats, and six tons of corn
and sorghum fodder"
The gentleman who asked the
above question did not get the
right idea Of what we ment when
we spoke of the amount of feed
paoduced on 100 acres. What we
wanted to emphasize was the
amount of feed we had yet on

Owing to total failure of grass

of ensilage right through the

necessary to carry one 1,O00-lb
animal to the acre by the soiling

man who caters to first class
trade would think of feeding it.
If fed in too large quantities, the
strong oder which always accom-
panies it is likely to impart a dis
agreeable odor to the eggs or
flesh. There are several good,
pure brands of meat meal on the
market, and they are certainly
better than no animal food at all,
but are to fresh bone what dried
beef is to beefsteak. Feed the
meat when you cannot get bones.
Fresh bone is easier to feed. It
does not have to be mixed with
ground feed and stirred up with
water, but can be fed just as it
comes from the mill, and may be
scattered in the litter, thus afford
ing exercise for the hens in
scratching for it. Every year
more poultrymen are giving up
the use of ground feed and. are
giving a whole grain diet, rcduc-
ing the work o feeding consider
ably. O1'he green bone can be
cut in less time than it takes to
mix soft feed.
The cost of bones in a village
is generally nothing; the butcher
will supply them. When a large
quantity is used, they can be OBJ

shops and slaughter houses at Il
very moderate price. No matter

Poultry Hints.

In a plum orchard poultry more
than pay their way, they destroy
the curcullo.
Roup usually comes from hav-
ing damp or drafty %roostlng
places.
The fresher the bones can be
fed TO fowls the better. Break
them into small pieces.
Feeding a gill of linseed meal
in the soft feed once a week will
be found beneficial.
One of the greatest mistakes
made by those keeping poultry is
in feeding grain exclusively.
New broken bones are more
highly relished by the fowls than
those that are older and ground.
Overcoming, bad ventilation
and urc1eanliuess are three great
evils in the poultry business.
One advantage in keeping poul-
try on the farm is the large guam
tity of waste grain they pick up.
The necessity for using pure.

ility, the cause can generally be
traced to inbreeding.
The exterior of the poultry
house is a matter of taste, but
internally the comfort and we'll

first consideration.

Bone Feed Makes Eggs.

Nothing is more certain than
the number of eggs a hen will
produce depends more than any.
thing else on the way she is fed.
She must have not only enough
feed, but the right kind of feed.
For furnishing at the same time,
both protein and lime, which are
necessary for both the material
OF the egg and the she'll, it has
been found that cut green bones
are most excellent food. We give
below the views of an experience
ed poultry grower on this sub
ject:
What the s;lo has done for the
dairyman, the green-bone cutter
is doing for the poultryman.
Each in its field has solved the
problem of supplying a food that
will force production at a season
when nature is against us, and at
a minimum of cost.
The important constituent of
animal food for poultry is pro-
tein, which produces flesh and
feathers and the albumen Of the
egg. When given a free range,
the fowls will supply themselves
with animal food by catching
bugs and worms, when they are
obtainable. The trouble is, ma
ture does not al ways supply this
food in sufficient quantities even
in summer, and during the win
ter months it is not to be had at
all. Some seasons there will be
plenty of grasshoppers and crick-
cts, and after a shower the
ground will be covered with an
gle-worms, but during a dry sea-
son worms are scarce, and if the
grass, hoppers fail to appear, the
poultryman must supply some
thing to take their place. Moth

Fresh bones contain a large
percentage of protein. The same
can be said of the several brands
of meat meal on the market, but
the fresh product is more palita-

They are hampered by the fact that
they do not possess all the faculties
that ordinarily belong to other men.
The man who, for the sake of principle,
will forego an advantage is an enigma
to them. Take David Bennett Hill as
a sample: In 1892 he was opposed to
tariff reform and in favor of silver; in
1902 he is an advocate Of the gold
standard, and doing all in his power
to lead people to believe that he is a
sincere tariff reformer. The truth is
he is for Hill, and Hill is for sale, and
the price he asks is the Presidency.

States was the danger spot to their in
terests throughout the world. Ac-
cordiugly a very large stock of gold
was accumulated in this country; the
downward trend of prices was at once
arrested, and there vas a moderate
rise in the values of many articles; but
to accomplish this other countries
were depleted Of their stocks of gold.
They supposed this deficiency could be
made good by wiping out the two little
Boer Republics in South Africa and
appropriating their enormously rich
gold fields. Six months and two hum
dred million dollars was the time and
sum set apart for this purpose; but the
Beers stubbornly refused to be wiped
out, either in six months or five times
six months, and instead of expanding
two hundred million there has already
been expended a thousand million and
over, and the end is not yet. The
miscarriage of their plans has caused
the margin OF living to become so
narrow in the old world, that men
have come to the conclusion that they
had better die with arms in their
hands than to die of starvation along
| with their wives and little one AS a
result there are revolutionary con-
ditlons throughout the southern part
of Europe, which if continued will
cause the overthrow of the monarchical
forms of government that have so long
prevailed there, and by which the
money changers have profted. The
only thing to do to meet these ex-
~igencies is to withdraw the gold they
have stored up in the United States;
but the doing of this will re-create the
conditions that brought the Populist to
the front and forced the Democratic
organization from their control. They
are between the devil and the deep sea.
1t looks as if they had concluded to
take their chances in America and fur
nish relief to Europe at Jul expense,
trusting to our great combinations o.
capital, either by fraud or force, tt

THERE was recently an assemblage
at the Manhattan Club of New York
City of certain gentlemen more or less
identified with politics, who occa-
sionally assume the name OF Democrat
for purposes OF their own. The object
of their meeting was to devise ways
and means for promoting harmony
and regaining the control Of the Demo-
cratic organization, from which they
had been unceremoniously kicked
some six or seven years ago. The
lines along which they wish to operate
are very simple. They desire har-
mony all around; they want all the
elements calculated to produce friction
eliminated. They think the surest
way to secure harmony and Office, is
to adopt one of the cast-off platforms
that the Republican party used to fool
the people some twelve or fifteen years
back. They want pie. They are as
hungry a herd as eve gazed at a blue
grass pasture overlooking with fairness
from the outside of a b%arbed-wire fence.
They want office, as We have re-
marked, and want it now, and are
willing to take it in any way they a
get it. They believe that by making
the Democratic party so nearly to re-
semble the Republican party that an
expert cannot tell one from the other,
they can break into the public crib
and at the same time satisfy the plu-
tocracy, a few OF whose chiefs hold
the whole world in the hollow of their
hands. These men are puppets in the
hands of the most powerful inter-
national oligarchy that ever ruled
mankind for its own benefit. They
are neither influenced by sentiments
OF patriotism nor any consideration for
their kind; their lives are entirely
taken up with their material wants.
To crafty their lust for power and
their lust for gain, they would mort
gage posterity for a thousand years.
For them the distinction between right
and wrong has no existence. II a
thing will pay, II 10 right; II 1t will
not pay, it is wrong. As political
leaders this class of men have always
been short-sighted; they have always
failed to understand the times In which
they have lived and acted a part; they
no more comprehend the man with !
conscience than the blind man com
