CO0PS FOR FATTENING.
They Enable Poultry Raisers to
Double the Weight of Fowls In
a Short Time.

Although the examining machine in
the hands of an expert will probably give
the best results in finished product, small
coops for fattening chickens will be
found the most profitable by most
chicken raisers. These coops are used
very largely in England and have been
adorted successfully by the Canadian
government. The accompanying illus
trasion shows coop divided into three
parts, which will hold dozen chickens.
These cops are built Of lath and one

Beauvoir Mansion to BECOME Retreat
for Confederate Soldiers
In all the fair southland there is not
a place dearer to the hearts of the
Southern people than Beauvoir, the
late home of Jefferson Davis, President
Of the Confederate States. This home
was recently purchased by the sons of
Confederate veterans and will soon be-
come home for impoverished Confed-
crate veteran soldiers.

imposing place on the Gulf coast. 1t

Women Who Dislike Smoking.

Just a word to the woman who dis
likes smoking. Never entertain your
husbands friends unless you have a
den or a smoking room for them. If
there is one thing which tries a hus-
bands soul, especially if he be newly
wed husband, it is to apologize to his
friends for the fact that his wife can
not endure the scent Of smoke, even of
the best Of Havanas.
Protect your dainty drawing-room by
all means, but have a corner, no mat
ter how small, where your husband
may take the men after dinner or just
before bedtime for their cozy chat and
smoke.
One man who recently returned from
visit with prim New England rela-
tlves tells how the men Of the house
have built a shanty something on the
lines of a large doghouse, in which
they have installed a small oil stove
and whittier they retire many times q
day to smoke.

are entered through tall Venetian doors.
The hall Is 16 feet wide and opens at
the rear on a wide gallery, on which
the wings also open. The room to the
right as the hall is entered from the
front was Miss Winnie's room. What
Mecca this room will be for the veter-
ans, and how they will cherish every
thing that belonged to the Daughter
Of the Confederacy."
Equally distant from the mansion,
east and west, are quaint little cot
tages. Originally there was only one
room in each, surrounded on the four
sides by wide galleries. Later one and
two sides have been inclosed, giving
two additional rooms. 1t Is about the
east cottage that the principal interest
centers, for 1t was in this that Mr.. Da-
Wis studied and wrote, and where Miss
Winnie did much Of her early literary
work. The main room Of this cottage
was Mr.. Davis private library. The
walls are lined with book shelves, and
a little gallery runs along the upper
shelves. This was reached by small
ladder. Near the fireplace is where Mr..
Davis desk stood, and the door beside
it is spattered with ink thrown from
his pen when he was writing his book.
1.-THE Rise and Fall Of the Confederate
Government" The east room has been
enclosed, and in this room the chieftain
was wont to recline and rest on sofa.
Back Of this was a tiny room where
Miss Winnie wrote. 1t IS a real girls
den, and is yet quite characteristic of
the former fair occupant.
The west cottage was occupied by
Mrs. Hayes, the older daughter, and
her children when visiting her parents
The Beauvoir home was bequeathed
by will to Jefferson Davis by Mrs
Sarah Anna Dorsey, of Louisiana.

but continues to grow.
Do not begin moving until the dew
has gone off in the morning. Never
cut 1t when wet-or the hay will be
damaged. 1t is best to cut for only q
few hours and if the clover Is not I'M
usually heavy it can be raked late i'm

If the weather is favorable, as the hay
cures brighter and better. Otherwise
let 1t stand in the windrow and spread

By putting 1t In the windrow 1t saves
1t from getting wet by the dew, which

Should it rain on it, spread out and

as it will mold. Remember to have it
cured as thoroughly as it is practicable
to handle it without the leaves falling
off. A gallon or two of salt to the load
sprlnkled over it at the time of stack

it molding. It'should be stacked In the
barn, or, If outdoors, covered with
straw or something that will turn wa

time will be required to cure 1t. Never
put it in the stack until the stems are

Farm Notes,

Asparagus tops should be cut of
close to the ground and burned. The
soil should then be covered with rot
ten manure. This fall treatment will
help to prevent the rush next year and
to insure an early growth of grass.
A spring dressing of nitrate OF soda
will be an additional help.
Lime, sulphur and salt make dead
~ mixture for scale insects in china tea
so dry that the coating will not wash
off. In the California climate this
wash slowly decomposes and gives of
poisonous vapors, which destroy the
insects under it. Rains spoil this eff
feet and leave on the trees only a coat
of ordinary whitewash.
Trenching is done in Ireland in this
manner: Remove the top soil from
strip one yard wide and a foot deep;
then spade the subsoil well and spread
plenty OF manure over it; throw the
top soil from the next row on the sur
face soil of the first, and SOW for
seed until the whole plot has been
trenched. 1t will produce heavy crops
for several years.
A barn or stable should be kept be-
tween fifty and sixty degrees Temporal
ture in order to derive the best re-
suits. In some cases this cannot be
conveniently done, but as the animal
heat is about ninety degrees, the tenn
perature of the stable will have more
or less influence on the quantity of
food required, and hence, the warmer
it can be made in the stable In winter
the better.
1t is sometimes cheaper to restore
an old orchard than to plant new 0na

Economical FertilizinS.

There are many farms throughout
the country whose owners cannot af-
ford to fertiIize them heavily or even
to give them the quantity needed to
keep them in fair condition. AS a re-
suit such farms are running down be-
cause the crops consume more ferullz-
ing material than is supplied by the
farmer; in other words, the crops are
drawing too heavily upon the stored
up fertility of the soil just as men
sometimes draw too heavily on the
stored-up or surplus vitality of their
bodies.
Any soil to do the work required Of
it should be fortified so that it will
be as nearly fertile after the crop Is
taken from 1t as 1t was before, hence
fertilizers must be supplied In EXCESS
of the needs Of the growing crop. TO
bring up a rundown farm Is not an
easy task, especially when one Is ham,
pered in the free use Of fertilizing
material, but it may be done and In
extensively by the combination of
green manures, commercial fertilizers.
stable manure and tillage.
Rely mainly ON the legumes such as
cow peas, crimson clover and the vel
vet bean for humus and nitrogen; use
stable manure scattered thinly over
the ground, and for commercial fer
tilizers use mainly those richest In
potash and phosphoric acid. Supple
ment these fertilizers by frequent and
thorough tillage and the farm will
gradually improve. In growing any
crop one should have all the knowl-
edge possible Of what plant food that
crop will take from the soil in the
greatest quantities, and in fertilizing
apply that particular food in excess
Of the needs Of the crop at least to
the extent that is taken from the soil
This is a complex study, but one
which surely needs close attention, for
upon it depends largely the future re-
suits from the farm.

Thineg that Mako EneIand,

The recent elevation Of a certain En-
glish nobleman to the peerage was
made the occasion Of presentation Of
silver plate from his tenantry, with an
address of congratulation. The oldest
tenant on the estates got up and said
that he had himself attended seventy
rent audits, and that his house had been
lived iu by people bearing his name for
260 years. 1t Is little things like this
that make England so sturdy, substan-
tial and permanent, in comparison with
the nervous, volatile, unstable life Of
this county.
