Cow pcna For Poultry.

Several tests have recently been
made with view OF determining the
relative merits OF COW peas as egg pro-
ducers, as compared with corn. wheat,
oats, etc, says the Home and Farm.
In each case the peas, after the matur-
ity, We're harvested and sorted in dry
lofts, aud thrown to the fowls In the
scratching pens, where they were
scratched over and searched for dur
ing the whole day. After few days
the egg supply very yisibly increased,
and within a few weeks almost doubled
that from an equal number of hens
kept in separate quarters and fed on
other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branches and leaves, and would eat
every particle, except the hard, stiff
stems. The general health Of the flock
was excellent, and not a single hen
showed the least symptom of ailment
during any season. Considering the
ease with which cow peas can be
raised Il seems that every one should
give them a test as food forthe poultry.

There is an interesting symposium
In The Young Man on the subject OF
"How to Become a Novelist" from
which, however. the aspiring romano.
list will not derive very much encour-
agement. Mr.. William lie Queux leads
on with the expression Of opinion
that wide and diffuse knowledge OF
the world is one Of the first essentials
to success in fiction. Lucas Malet il
oid.fashioned enough TO believe that
the novelist Is born. not made, while
Mrs. w. X. clifford Is pretty much OF
the same opinion. and Ellen Thorney-
croft Fowler systematically re-
marks that writing is like flirting
IL you can't do 1t, nobody can teach
you to do II.
Mr.. Gilbert Parker 10 Of opinion
that fiction whiting can be learned
but not taught, and Mr.. Z. F. Benson
thinks that there are only two indis'
pensable gifts for a novelist--an eye
for dramatic situation, and the power
of putting down in plain English what
he sees. Mr.. w. w. Jacobs contri-
button is characteristic. "All the ad'
vice in the world would not make
novelists Of some people; a similarly
large quantity Of advice OF another
kind would also fail to prevent Others
from attaining success In that direc'
tion."-Pall Mall Gazette.

Raising Mules.

One great expense on the farm is the
motive power. Good work can not be
done without we have sufficient power.
Light horses or mules can only do ligh:
work To DO good blowing requires
Strong, heavy stock to pull the plows.
FOR this reason we are always glad to
see good, strong teams. But these cost
good round sums Of money. When
sought for cash good mules are high,
ppf when bought ON time they are
much higher. In almost every commu-
NIFTY there are men who make large
money every year simply by the differ
enee between the cash and the time
Prices on mules. They buy them and
sell to the farmers on time. and then
hke the farmers notes on the banks
ana place them as collateral and get
ne money and pay for the mules, and
A'se handsome profit left.
All this comes directly out OF the
turner's pocket, and often makes a
u'g hole in his yearly profits. This is
supply bad inanciering. The farmer

never grow; this is a very common
cause of failure.
The art of budding is so generally
understood all over Florida that we
will not attempt to give any directions
for cutting and setting the buds. II
YOU do not understand 1t, ask some or

watching a practical builder at work

printed directions in a half hour.
Builders vary in their ideas as to the
best tying material. We prefer narrow
strips of waxed cloth. In using this,
however, be careful that the eye Of the
bud is not covered. The buds should
be examined in from ten to fifteen days
according to the weather. In hot wet
weather the bud win probably be ready
TO unite in ten or twelve days. In COOL
dry weather they may be left even
three weeks without injury. We have
occasionally left the wrappings on the
bud until after growth had started to
a considerable extent.

used by florists and nurserymen.

When Baby Gets Her Nightie On.

that wealth may BRING
Her laugh is sweeter than the song of

And see Gods best promise in her
sinless, happy look
Her little toes all pink and white, APP
pear and disappear,
AS, dancing round me with delight,
she calls me "daddy, dear"
I catch her fondly in my arms, and toss
her in the air,
And set her down to chase her as she
hurries round chair.
While mamma calls. "Now, that will do
You're catching cold, 1 know
It's time that children were in bed !''
We never heed her, though.
And Bessie makes a rush, while
whoop like savage chief,
And dodge away, and keep it up until

catch it dreadfully
When Bessie gets her nightie on, and
