To Keep Chickens Hardy.

A Florida correspondent tells OF how
his young chicks. which are seemingly
we'll and hearty for the first week or so
from the shell, suddenly develop a
weakness that causes them 10 fall over
and die suddenly; and lie asks for a
remedy.
In an instance of this kind it would
seem that there must be some conSti'
tutional weakness back Of the sudden
sickness. or else improper feeding;
for il is not natural for little chickens
to die in the way described, ard it is
very hard to name remedy for such
q disease. We can. however, outline
a system of mating and breeding that
will prevent such misfortrnes.
In'the first place. the cock and hens
in mating should not +" akin. This
is an important feature-much more so
than a good many people think. Blood
that is not akin always throws the
strongest offspring in union. This is
understood in breeding other live
stock. and in keeping up the strength,
the vitality and the intelligence Of the
human race. We should then be very
particular on this point and never mate
fowls that are blood related in the first
or second degree.
Another point is in taking the young
chicks from the nest. 1t is a common
practice to remove them as soon as
the last one is out Of the shell; but
this is wrong. They should be con-
fined to the nest for at least twenty.
four hours thereafter. even If it should
be necessary to confine the hen by en-
closure. Then when taken from the
nest they should. at this season. be
given a large, roomy hencoop with a
roof to it, and one cosy corner for rDost.
ing. and openings in it large enough
to let the chickens out, but still con-
fine the hen.
In feeding the non should be fed
first on corn. and then mixture Of
corn meal; boiled potatoes and oat-
meal given the little chickens as often
as three times daily for the first week
and twice day thereafter, with good
water ever convenient.
This kind Of attention and feed, with
coal oil about the roosting corner all
the time will bring the chickens for
ward in good shape and there will be
no losses from sudden fits. keeling
over and the like, for chickens from
such a mating as suggested. cared for
as outlined, will be too vigorous for
any such weakness and will thrive
and grow right along.
In most parts of the South 1t Is pos.
sible to hatch and grow young chick
ems to the frying size for several
months vet. and to mature number Of
nice pullets for next -ear that would
lay we'll in the autumn months while
the older ones are moulting.-H. B. G.,

Good Way With Cowpeas.

Farmers who have planted cowpeas
for the first time, if they propose to
use them for forage. should not make
the mistake Of letting them grow too
old. They should be moved when the
beans are well formed with the pods
just tinceing yellow. If left much
longer the lower leaves will begin to
fall and some Of the peas sbatter out.
Cowpeas are cured not unlike clover.
although owing to their large water
content they require longer. Most
large cowpea fields that are planted
for seed are now cut by machinery
and threshed. Probably the most sat
isfactory way. however, where a COM
paratively small quantity of the beans
are wanted for planting next year is to
pick them by hand and then thresh.
After threshing particular attention
should be given to drying the beans
thoroughly. as they may otherwise fer
ment.-Progressive Farmer.

The Hog n Natural Rootcr.

AS nature produced him, the hog is
rooter, and for this purpose he IS
endowed with a snout admirably
adapted to the purpose Of exploring
the soil in quest Of succulent roots,
savory worms and suDterranean ami
mails. All these animals are whole
some foods for nogs. But the highly
bred, highly tone and pampered pig
of to-day has all his hoSgish wants
literally supplied and his proclivity
for tearing up the earth in search for
food effectually discouraged. The re-
suit is that the rooter Of the hog has
degenerated to a mere embryo Of the
old time hogs subsoiler. The snout is
rapidly shortening and probably in
few more years of non-use the project
ing snout will have disappeared and
the place where it was will only be
hattened disc with two air holes there

Different Methods of Farming.

Professor w. F. Massey, of Raleigh,
n. c., and who is incidentally editor Of
the Practical Farmer, Of Philadelphia,
knows as much, both theoretically and
practically about farming as any man
we know. In a late issue Of his paper
he says: "The effort to get Southern
farmers to adopt Northern practices
will always fail, because f climatic
conditions. Meadows on Southern up
lands will never be success with the
grasses grown in the North" AS to
timothy, there is no doubt of the truth
of this. with the exception, perhaps. of
the limited territory that has a good
limestone soil. But we do believe that
both orchard grass and red top will do
pretty well almost anywhere. How
ever he urges: just as we have always
done, that till there is more stock in
the country, there is no great need of
-eadows and pastures Of grass, though
we do need very greatly everywhere
a rotation Of forage crops with cotton
and corn. and especially cowpeas and
soy beans. We can add to this GRIM
son clover and rape and probably hairy
vetch. These plants perform the dou-
BILE function Of supplying the best for
age and at the same time putting into
the soil those much needed elements.
Lumus and nitrogen. The worst mis-
take made in most of our farming is
either cultivating the same crop on
the land all the time, or merely rotat-
ing cotton and corn, which is very lit
tie better. The least that should be
done is to have three-year-old rota-
ton with cowreas. crimson clover or
soy bean. as one Of the crops. And

although it mirht make the planting Of
either cotton or corn little late. would

without. and if it did not actually i'm

keep it up. The objection to this plan
that mauy will raise. that they would
not have enough land in cotton and
corn, is not valid one. There might
be less acreage but it would make
large crop and cost less to cultivate it,
and that is what every sensible farm

OPEN LETTER TO PUBLIC.
Free and Independent Labor Should
Be Given Protection.

Just previous to adjournment the
executive committee of the Citizens
Industrial Association which recently
assembled at Dayton, Ohio, resolved
against members placing the union
label on articles Of their own manu-
facture. They also took ground in op-
position to the eight-hour bill now
pending in Congress. They provided
for the formation of labor informa-
tion bureau for the use Of members. A
platform was adopted as an open let
ter to the public which says:
"The present condition Of industries
has become so deplorable by reason Of
indefensible methods and claims OF Or
ganized labor that the time has come
when the deploying interests and good
citizenship Of the country must take
immediate and effective measures to
reafIirm and enforce those fundamen-
tai principles of American govern
ment guaranteeing free competitive
conditions.
'In it's demands organized labor Is
seeking to overthrow individual liber-
ty and property rights, the principal
props of our government. Its methods
for securing this revolutionary and So
cialistic change in our institutions are
also those Of physical warfare. Be
cause of this warfare the industrial in
terests of the nation during the last
year have been injured to an irrepara-
BILE degree. Many firms have been
driven to bankruptcy and the cases are
innumerable in which working men
have been disabled and even murdered,
while numerous families have been
rendered destitute by reason OF the
tyranny and seditious attacks upon So
ciety by the strike organizations. A
condition of anarchy has existed con-
tinuously in some States for months
past, and in fact, the acts OF laWless-
ness committed under the sacred name
of labor are of such frequent recur-
renee that the public sense of their
enormity has become blunted. The
period of great prosperity brought
about by the unrestricted operation OF
the law Of supply and demand Is also
being destroyed by the acts OF violence
of organized labor and as a result we
are now confronted with the possibility
OF period of depression.
while we most emphatically OBJ
ject to being classed as enemies OF
organizations Of labor that are con-
Quoted upon lawful and beneficent
lines, yet we are unalterably opposed
to the present programme Of violence,
boycotting and the tyranny now be-
ing carried out by the majority OF Ia
Dor unions. We, therefore, urge the
rapid organization of those who be-
lieve in the faintenance Of law and
order and the perpetuation Of our
free institutions to the end that they
may yield their full and proper influ-
ence upon the destinies of the nation.
1t is only through the machinery OF
organization that we can hope to ex.
ercise a potent and salutary influence
over public thought and the conduct
Of public officials to the end that the
rights of the American citizenship
can be assured to free and indepen-
dent labor, the rights Of property pro-
tected and legislation Of socialistic
nature prevented from being enact
ed into law"

Growing Alfalfa.

Please tell me how to grow alfalfa.
what month to plant, how to plant.
how much seed to the acre. What kind
of soil is best adapted to its growth:
My land that want to put in is rath-
er low and holds water we'll, but L
don't think it will be too wet. There
is no alfalfa grown around here that
know of, so 1 thought l would try it
Any information you can give me VIII
be cheerfully received. Z. b. Z.
Bentonville, Ark.
Alfalfa is becoming one of the most
valued of feed crops where it can be
successfully grown. 1t thrives best
in dry sections where irrigation must
be depended on for good crops, and on
al alkaline soil. The degree of sue
cess with it in other sections varies
greatly. This is due. mainly. perhaps,
to the difference in soil, though method
OF treatment may be something OF Il
factor. 4 sandy loan which will al
low the roots to penetrate readily IS
the best soil for alfalfa, although it is
often successfully gro II on clay SOILS.
In sections where the riant will not
winter kill the best time to SOW IS IN
the fall, about the time OF sowing
wheat. 1t will stand the winters in
this section. Some farmers SOW with
it some other crop as nurse crop, but
the general opinion seems to be that
Il does better when sown alone. The
ground should be put in thorough con-
dition and a good application of barn
ward manure, after it has we'll started,
will greatly stimulate its growth. Be-
ing especially adapted to an alkaline
soil the liberal use of lime will be
found beneficial. The seed may be
sown either broadcast or with drill.
Drilling is more economical OF seed,
and better stand can usually be Sc
cured. If sown broadcast twenty or
twenty-five pounds Of seed to the acre
should be sown, and fifteen to twenty
pounds if drilled. When permanent
hay meadow is desired the larger
amount Of seed is best, but when the
crop is to be grown for seed smaller
amount will answer. A crop OF hay IS
often secured the first season and the
field moved several times, which is an
advantage to the crop as it will result
in a good root system. Most growers
OF alfalfa prefer, where several crops
can be cut. to leave the last crop for
seed, which will yield from two to
seven bushels to the acre. 1t is not
easy to cure as hay in climate where
there is much rain or dew at cutting
time. as it molds easily. AS pasture
it will bloat cattle easily and kill
sheep, but all other stock. and especi-
ally hogs, thrive on it. Close cutting
is recommended as it will cause the
plant to stool out more and make a
thicker growth than when the stems
are left several inches long.-Fruit
