passed up the steps to the pretty
front porch, here was a rustic seat
and there a hammock, seeming to in
vite us to rest. At the side of the
house was a rookery and afewfowers
Here the porch was screened in and
held an easy chair and a few choice
plants. Back a little farther were
the granary, buggy house, ice house,
hen house and barn, all in the same
neat, well-kept condition. The whole
farm, fields, orchard, fruit, all spoke
of the care and thrift of the owner.
This was not the home of a rich
farmer, only, well-to-do. What he
has accomplished can be done by any
one with a little money, ability and
plenty of ambition. It seems to us
that if more farmers would beautify
their homes as this one has been, the
question of keeping the boys and
girls on the farm would not be so
hard to solve.-M. E., in December

they do help to increase the egg out
put; but not unless the rest of the
diet is good. and wholesome. It is
folly to think that ground bone will
make more eggs when the hens are
barely getting enough to eat to keep
body and soul together. There must
first be a surplus of food in the sys-
tenn, and then something fed to slim
ulate egg-laying may divert a part
of this surplus to the hens proper
function instead of letting it all GO
to fat. Care must be taken that the
hens do not get fat; any such tend
ency should be checked, for fat hens
do not lay many eggs. Strong, ac-
tive hens, well-fed and c~ontented, do.

For the Winter Diet.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Through the summer the diet of
the hens has been somewhat restrict
ed, grain and especially corn having
proved almost too fattening and
heating for the weather; but from
now on the poultry should have their
full winter diet. This should be Civ
en- for the purpose of increasing the
general health and strength of the
hens and then for eggs. Hens which
do not have splendid health and
strength cannot prove good layers of
eggs. The two GO together. You
may feed hens on stimulating foods
so they will lay a few extra eggs, but
in a short time they will give out
and prove worthless. The first thing
should be to aim for a good, all-round
diet that will make the birds healthy
and strong. Grain, corn, scraps of
meat, bread and such table leavings
should be fed to them literally. Do
not forget the seeds which in the fall
of the year can be collected in con-
siderable quantities. Hens like the
seeds of flowers, vegetables and
weeds. They enjoy eating them out
of the pods and the plants where pos
sible should be cut down and thrown
into the chicken yard. The work of
collecting them will do the hens
good.
Grain and corn are essential now.
You cannot neglect these without en-
dangering the health of the birds.
Whether spring chickens or laying
hens, they should have their daily
grain ration. Bran cooked or scald-
ed is an excellent food for them and
fed hot or cool mornings it proves of
great benefit. Overlooking, of course,
must be avoided. Too much corn and
will make the hens fat and
lazy, and cause Indigestion, which
will ruin all the good obtained. To
avoid laziness make the hens work
part of the day for their food. Turn
them loose in some straw with a
grain scattered around in it, and
then make them scratch for it. There
are many ways to make the laying
hens keep their health even when fed
daily on a full, well-rounded diet.
Green bones, carefully ground, and
oyster and clam shells pounded very
fine are all good in their way, and

The Prospect of Tobacco Growing.

It would be folly for the Herald
to assert hat high prices continue
the rule on this tobacco market
when a comparison is intended to be
made with the prices prevailing &c
or go days ago. Our readers know
that the prices on all grades have de-
clined very materially of late, not
only on the Smithfeld market but
on all the markets of the bright to-
bacco section.
The crop of the present year, sue
ceeding, as it did, the short crops of
the two years previous, was expected.
with reason, to sell for a good price.
The crop of late years had been
short, the supply was diminished
The demand for the manufactured
goods had, on the other hand, been
constantly increasing. The natural
law of diminished supply with in
creased demand should create a good
price for the weed. For this reason
the farmers of North Carolina con-
fdently expected high prices. They
had the right to expect them. If they
were now securing justice they would
now be obtaining the true value of
their crop.
The relative profit per acre of
corn, cotton or tobacco should not
determine the price to be paid to
the farmer for his produce. The
value of the raw material should be
commensurate with the value of the
manufactured product. The demand
for an article should be allowed to
exert it's natural influence upon the
value of that article.
It is altogether unjust that a gov
ernment-protected monopoly should
be the dividing barrier between these
forces. 1t is m~anifestly wrong that
GIl0 NdIIO1ld1 SONCELL10uG SuOu4u p1O-
tec* or even tolerate an organization
such as is the tobacco trust.
The injustice is conceded, the
wrong exists and will continue to
exist until the farmers exercise the
power that is theirs. An o~rganiza-
ton of the tobacco farmers of the
Carolinas has become a serious ne-
cessity. Concerted action can alone
remedy the condition.
Contraction of the crop, prolonged
marketing, and a more complete sys-
of diversified farming will &C.
eomplish more than any agency of
legislation, even if the lawmakers
Of the country could be prevailed
upon to Iegislate for the farmers
good.
The present condition is indeed dis
,ressing. There is no competition

in the purchase of the crop. There
is none in the sale of the manufac-
tured product. We would advise Jul
farmer friends to be very conserva-
tive in planning their acreage for
the coming year.-Smithfeld Her

More About the Foot and Mouth Disease
in New England.

IN new England.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
The Bureau of Animal Industry
is now much disturbed over the dis
closure of the prevalence of the
dreaded foot and mouth disease
among cattle, sheep and other rumi-
nants and hogs in the New England
States.
On Thursday Secretary Wilson is
sued an order to the various rail-
roads of the country, notifying them
of the establishment of a quarantine
of the live stock affected in the New
England States and also prohibiting
the expectation of such animals
from the port of Boston until furth-
er orders.
Recent Investigations by the De-
partment of Agriculture disclosed
the fact that foot and mouth disease
exists to IN alarming extent in Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, Massachu-
sets and Vermont. DR.. Mohler, the
expert veterinarian of the Depart
ment, DR.. Leonard Pearson of the
University of Pennsylvania, and DIR.
James Law of Cornell, have visited
the infected districts, and it is upon
their recommendation that the quar-
antine has been declared.
In an interview, Secretary Wilson
declared that this is one of the most
serious problems the Department has
had to deal with and should the d.
sease spread westward the calamity
would be a national one. In a talk
to the Presidents Cabinet on Friday,
he expressed the opinion that the di-
sease has prevailed in New England
for some time and had been conceal
ed. DR.. Salmon, the Chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, he
stated, would be SEN to the affected
district at once.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note hal most of the veterina-
rians of the Department have neve
seen a real case of foot and mouth
disease, so that it's appearance would
not likely cause suspicion. Some
years ago it appeared to a slight ex-
tent IN Massachusetts, but through
the stringent measures adopted by
the Department, it was quickly
stamped out.
Foot and mouth disease exists to a
great extent among the various Eu-
ropean and North African countries
and is the principal reason for the
prohibition of the importation of
mich and other goats from abroad
into the United States. It is said
that there is no country abroad
where fine mich goats are raised, but
that is affected by the existence of
the foot and mouth disease. M.

The Short Courses in Agricultural
Colleges.

SO~S9~S
now have short courses; some in
dairying, others in live stock iudg-
ing, and others in the elementary
principles of agriculture. These
short course are intended-for farm
ers and farmers sons who have not
the e to acquire a thorough
agricultural education. The short
courses of the Kansas Agricultural
College may be taken as a type. What
is called the farmers short course re-
quires two winter terms of twelve
weeks each. Instruction is given In
crop production, feeding and breed
ing, orcharding, gardening, farm
shop work, diseases of farm animals,
bacteria, insects, botany, chemistry,
and soil physics, and are all treated
from a strictly practical standpoint.
The object is not to fit the student
for teaching, but to enable him simp-
ly to grow larger and better crops, to
feed grains and grasses to the best
advantage, to maintain the health of
the animals on the farm, and improve
the quality of all his products and
market them to the best advantage.
We believe every farmers son who
cannot secure a thorough agricul-
tural education should take advan-
tage of these short courses; in fact,
we do not know of any way in which
his father can invest money better.
It will pay him better than loaning
it out or buying land at present
prices, and it is an investment hat
is not taxable and that will stay with
the boy as long as he lives, provided
always he is the right kind of a boy.
Perhaps the most popular feature
of this short course is that of stock
judging. In some colleges, as in the
Iowa, this is a separate course and
does not attract the farmers boy so
much as it does the old man himself.
Hundreds of farmers, some of them
past middle age, took advantage of
the Iowa course last year and believ-
ed that they learned more even in
two weeks about judging stock than
they ever learned in all their lives
before.
Another popular short course is
that of dairying. While a course of
twelve weeks, or twice twelve weeks
will not make the farmers boy a
complete dairyman, it will give him
an insight into the general principles
along which dairying must be con-
Quoted, and if he has the right stuff
in him, it will be of immense help
whether he stays on the farm or be-
comes a helper in the creamery.
We hope farmers whose sons want
to take these short courses will not
hesitate to let them go,and more, will
encourage them as far as possible.
Of course, if there is not a desire on
the part of the boy to take the short
course it is not worth while, but
where the boy asks a favor of this
kind, do not by any means discourage
him. Say to him that you Will take
care of the stock this winter your
self and furnish him the money. It
will pay.-Wallace's Farmer.

Pure Food for Jersey.
From What to Eat.

From What TO Eat.
New Jersey now has what is supposed
to be the strictest pure food law in the
United States. There will be a chief food
inspector with deputies scattered all over
the state. Everything that can come into
use for human consumption as food or
drink will be inspected under the law.
All canned foods, whether put up inside
the state or out of it. will be under the ban
of the law if they are shown by analysis
to be unfit for food Meat-fresh sailed,
smoked and canned-is liable-to inspection
as are all wines, beers and soft drinks, in
Guiding mineral waters. Beers not up to
set standard will be unstable under the
law Wines not made in the natural man
ner, or containing coloring substances or
anything rendering them impure, will be
liable to confiscation and destruction if Of
fered for sale Milk must come up to the
set standards of purity and richness to be
legally put on sale. Municipal water sup
plies are also liable to condemnation If i'm
pure. Fitting penalties are established for
the manufacture or sale of anything to eat
or drink that is not pure.

CARTER DENIES CHARGE.
Colored Man Accused of Setting Fire
to Dwelling.

A section of the fire department was
called to the residence of DR.. Jesse Schaf-
hirt 2332 1st street northwest yesterday
afternoon by an alarm for fire in the cell
lar of the house. The blaze was eXtin-
guished before any damage resulted, and
the firemen reported to the police that it
was probably of. ineendiary origin, and ar
investigation followed, which resulted in
the arrest of Robert Carter, colored, on a
charge of attempted arson.
The police We're Informed that DR.. Schaf-
hirt had ordered some coal during the day
and that Mrs. Schafhirt had engaged car
ter and another colored man to put 1T away,
but that when the coal arrived the man on
the cart told Mrs. Schafhirt that her hus-
bard had requested him to put it away.
Garter and the other colored man were in
formed by Mrs. Schafhirt that her husband
had engaged a man to put in the fuel, and
that their services would not be required
The men left the vicinity of the house, but
it is said that Carter returned later and
was seen near the house, and a short time
afterward a servant of Mrs. Schafhirt dis
covered smoke issuing from the lower part
of the house. Carter denies the charge. He
will have a hearing in the Police Court to-
morrow.
