Bermuda Grass.

Prof. s. M. Tracy pays this
high testimonial to the value Of
Bermuda grass:
II have been over a large por-
ton Of Georgia. Alabama and
Mississippi, the region where the
drouth has been most severe. and
fnd the Bermuda pastures the
only ones which are able to fur.
nish forage after six weeks of
scorching sun. In fact. the
drOuth-resisting CHARACTERISTIC of
the Bermuda constitutes one Of
its chief values in all regions
subject to severe summer drouth.
II Is the foundation Of every good
pasture throughout the entire
Gulf States region.
1T Is essentially 9 rich land
grass, Z continued Prof. Tracy,
"snd nowhere in the world does
it succeed better than on the
black prairie regoin Of Northeast
Mississippi, the creek and river
bottom lands in the central part
Of the state, and on the moist and
aliuvial lands Of the delta. In
careful feeding tests made at the !
State Experiment Station Ber.
muda was found to to be about 3
per cent more valuable than the
best Timothy hay for both mule
ard cattle. It's yield exceeds
that Of any other grass Making
hay Of equally good quality, and
It's thrifty growth, where prop.
efly cared for, has changed many
Mississippi counties from i'm.
porters TO exporters OF mules.
Tho rapidly growing appre-
ciatiOn Of its value is doing more
than any other one thing to de-
vel0p live stock industry in the
state. The Bermuda fields of
Mississippi will soon rival the
lannon's Blue Grass regions Of
Kentucky"

0ars of Chickens.

The chickens will soon begin
to hatch, and We should be pre-
pared to protect them. Ninety
per cent, Of the loss of young
chicks Is due to some slight
neglect during the first few days
Of their lives. One of the most
important things to remem Der is
that young chicks require .
great deal of warmth, cold being
positively fatal to them. II
only few are h,tched early,
the hen and brood, in the ab.
sence Of q better place. may be
taken to the kitchen and put by
the side Of the stove.
We have often done this, and
have found that the chicks do
nicelyfor q week or ten days,
after which the weather will
usually have moderated and
they may be removed to an out
house or shed. Do mot attempt
to force food upon them when
first hatched. They need to be
left quietly under the hen for al
least twenty flour hours. Then
feed rolled oats, slightly mois.
tened with milk. stale crackers
or q johnny cake made of equal
parts OF corn meal and mid.
dlings and baked in an oven. |
After q few days change the
food often and keep them busy |
and partially hungry.

In every agricultural country
where farm grown live stock is d
neglected branch, the soil is..stead
lily deterioating. The Russian
minister Of finance reports q de.
crease of 81 per cent in the aver
age productiveness of the farm
lands in that country. In Great
Britain farming has declined in
every section where live stock
has decreased in numbers. DR..
e.. E. Thorne recently read q
paper before the Ohio board Of
agriculture that contains much
food for thought. He stated that
during the last fifty years Ohio
had gained nothing in numbers
OF live stock but has doubled her
area In grain, and is now paying
81, 500, 600 a year for commercial
fertilizers. This Is a plain indi-
cation of the deterioration OF the
soils fertility. A similar condi-
tion prevails in this country gen.
orally. and the remedy plainly is.
10 keep more live stock, and grow
more fertilizing crops. The only
alternative is the purchase If the
commercial fertilizers. which de,
1our the profits of the farmers--l

Great Waste Of Time on
the Farm

The old year has passed and
The farmers have entered the
new year discouraged with short
crops and low prices OF cotton.
A large majority Of the farmers
can't pay their provision bills and
and other debts, bat let Us thank
the Lord that it is no worse
with us. wish to speak OF
waste of time on the farm. The
greatest waste that ! know of
is the loss of time. I believe a
Urge majority of the farmers
lose one-third Of their time dur.
ing the year. A great many
people think they have nothing
to do when the ground is too
wet to plow. There is always
some. thing to do that will pay
both the landlord and tenant.
If the cotton mill or merchant
were to loose the time that the
farmers loose they would break
in less than two years. "A man 8
time is money if put in right.
The man that loafs and tramps
around the stores and shops and
wastes his time and cant pay
his debts, and feeds two or three
dogs and cant furnish HE table
with good wholesome food for
his wife and children-I call him
D sinful man. The man who puts
IN six days in q week and helps |
10 pay his preacher, and gives

poses, 10 bound to have bread
enough and something to spend
