Keepine Birds Over Winter.

An enthusiastic American ornitholo-
gist advocates general building of bird
houses to encourage migratory birds,
which go south in winter, to remain in
the colder parts of this country through
out the year. To protect the birds from
frost and winter storms he would make
the north and west sides of the houses
wind and rain-proof. and put openings
and wide verandas on the south and east
sides, where the birds could sun them
selves on mild days. For very cold
weather there should be an inner COM
partmept, supplied with cotton, hay and
wooden rags, and approached down a
long passage leading from the outer
compartment. By strewing the entire
house with seeds the birds can be in
duced to explore and inhabit 1t. The
reward of the bird-house builder will
consist not only in the companionship
of feathered friends, but in the service
which the birds will render him in de-
vouring the seeds of noxious weeds.

FIRST PLANS OF CITIES.
The Defensive Feature Was the One
Most Carefully Provided For
by Architects.

All cities, with few exceptions, trace
the origin of their plan to the inclosed
camp, and many still show marked
features of primitive Notifications, says
F. S. Lamb, iri Architects and Builders
Magazine. In all early schemes for de-
fense the inclosed square was consid-
cred the best. From the time when
wagons were merely parked on the
plain to the time when buildings were
constructed with blank walls to the
enemy, and their facade to the open
square. this plan has been universally
adopted; and many of the great
squares or market places of famous
cities still show undeniable evidences
Of these precautions for defense. In
the old city of Brussels. the square
upon which faces it's wonderful city
hall is approached by streets so mar
row that they must surely have been
constructed with the idea Of defense in
mind.
Were it possible to forecast the rapid
development of cities or to predict
which of our great cities is to become q
metropolis, the problem might not be
such difficult one. but such. unfortu-
nately, is not the case. Even the most
vivid imagination would scarcely have
been able to predict the enormous in
crease of population and the conse-
quent architectural development Of
modern cities. The rapid growth of
American cities is well known, but few
realize that the older cities of Europe
have had similar experience. The re-
cent increase in Berlin has exceeded
that of Chicago, and what is true OF
Berlin is true of many other European
centers. 1t is then not surprising to
note that in Hanover. Hamburg, Nu-
remberg, Leipsic, Leignitz. st. Johann
a Saar and Magde5urg, modern munich
pal buildings of great importance have
recently been or are now being con.
structed.

The Movement For Cotton.

Never before in the history Of any
farm interest has any government put
forth such efforts to protect and sup
port an industry as is now seen in the
work done in behalf of cotton on the
part of the United States department
Of agriculture. Cotton diseases, in
sects and improvement of seed are be-
ing vigorously worked upon by in
vestigators and demonstrators. Not
satisfied with this, Secretary Wilson
has instructed for the establishment of
diversification farms upon which to
show the people profitable way out
of an all-cotton system The move
ment means much for the prosperity of
our agriculture. Texas is the chief
beneficiary at this time, because she
has been the only sufferer from the
boil weevil, but in time the whole
south will see the entire system Of cot
ton culture vastly improved.-Farm
and Ranch.

Feeding Hogs.

Whey, skim milk and buttermilk are
Of great value as part of the ration
for fattening swine There is practi-
cally no difference in the feeding value
Of skim. milk and buttermilk when
each is fed in prime condition. They
produce rapid and economical gains
and a fine quality of bacon. The av-
erage Of many experin ents shows that
475 pounds Of skim milk are equal in
feeding value to 100 pounds of corn
meal.
Pigs will maintain their weight on
pasture without making any apprecia-
BILE gain il half ration of grain is
fed. This gain will be utilized en-
tirely in increasing weight. The best
pasture plant for pigs is alfalfa where
1t will grow, while red clover, white
clover, bluegrass and rape are good
pasture in about the order named.
A pasture to be satisfactory for swine
must be short and tender. Expert
ments show that an acre of other pas
ture is equivalent to $500 pounds Of
grain when fed the pigs.-Blooded
Stock.
The Colfax chronicle., 1904-05-21

covered two or three incnes deep. A
little white clover and Bakhara clover
seed planted at the same time will
give an agreeable variety to the pas
ture. The field should not be pastured
until the grass has run through the
vacant spaces. If the land is yerr
poor, nitrate of soda at the rate of
100 pounds per acre should be applied
at time Of setting the grass or as soon
as growth beings. In any case an
abundant supply of lime, potash and
phosphoric acid must be furnished. All
worn cotton soils in the upland region
are deficient In lime. Without this no
clover succeed. Potash is best SUD-
piled to such soils in the form of
kainit. A good foertilizer is kainit and
acid phosphate in equal quantities. OF
the mixture apply as top dressing
every spring about 500 pounds per acre.
About September 1 Of each year broad
cast upon the Bermuda sod about As
pounds of crimson clover seed in
chaff for each acre of pasture No
coverings or preparations for the clover
seed are necessary. BY taking stock
off from the pasture March Is till May
Is, two tons of hay can be harvested.
The pasture herein described may be
still further improved for hogs by
broadcasting upon it about one ounce
per acre of the seeds of parsley, thyme
and sage-plants of which hogs are
fond. The flavor of these herbs will
give "gamey" flavor to the meat.
After the pasture has been for some
years in use the land may be broken
up and again be put into cotton if de-
sired. The root parasite will be
starved out and the soil filled with
vegetable matter which will carry
through several crops of cotton. In
stead OF using crimson clover as above
described, we may use the sand or
hairy vetch. The common or Scotch
vetch is also good. The spotted clover
is excellent and is in value next to
crimson clover.
II cotton growers will give this plan
a fair trial they will have cause to
bless instead Of curse the root parasite
which has invaded their fields.
Crimson clover thrives only on
soils receiving liberal rainfall during
the winter season. Spotted clover is
also fond of moisture, though not so
dependent upon winter rains as GRIM
son clover .)-Gerald Mccarthy, Bot
anist, North Carolina Department of
Agriculture.

HOG PASTURE FOR THE SOUTH
Fields Attacked by Root Parasites
a Good Place to Turn the
Hogs Into.

In many parts Of the south cotton
has, on account of the almost total dis
appearance of vegetable matter from
the soil, ceased to yield satisfactory
crops of lint. In some neighborhoods
q soil or root parasite has lately at
tackled the crop and threatens to make
Ii impossible to grow cotton on such
fields. What to do with the fields
which can no longer grow cotton is a
serious problem.
Very few cotton farmers grow the
bacon consumed by themselves and
their hands. Still fewer grow the for
age required by their stock. A natural
and promising use for such sick cot
ton fields is to turn them into pastures
for hogs, mules and other stock. Cot
ton is commonly grown upon Light,
sa>dy loan. Such soil in the hot and
drou<hy climate of the cotton region
will not grow the tame grasses es-
teemed in the north. But in Bermuda
grass the southern farmer has per-
ennial grass of the best quality and
one that will grow upon any soil that
will grow cotton. With Bermuda grass
for summer and crimson clover for
winter pasture, the southern farmer
may have an all-the-year-round pas
ture that should carry ten medium
weight pigs all the time.
In the United States north of Florida.
Bermuda grass does not bear seed.
The grass is propagated by root cut
tings Three barrels of these will
plant one acre The grass is so COM
mon along roadsides that the roots
can usually be had for the gathering.
A Bermuda pasture may be set at any
time of the year. But early spring is
best The field should be furrowed at
about five feet apart and the root cut
tings dropped into the furrQws and

POOR BUT AN HONEST MAN
Bishop Potter's Story of How He Was
Once Accused Of Pilfering
Bedclothes.

Bishop Potter. the head Of the Epis-
copal church in this city, Is not averse
to telling stories on himself, and at the
luncheon that followed recent dea-
conry meeting in his diocese he relat-
ed more than one that put the laugh
on him. says the New York Mail. Men.

"The story is true. l was on one OF
my trips and stayed with some friends
over night. They had made every ef-
fort to make me comfortable, among
other things placing on my bureau a
beautiful silver-mounted toilet set.
had my own old set with me, and, be-
ing like King James in preferring old
friends to new ones, l put the silver
set away and used my own.
1.-Two days later / received a tele-
gram from my friend about like this:
Where is the silver dressing set that

bered that l had not restored the set
to its original place and telegraphed
back: Am poor, but honest. Look in
upper drawer of bureau They must
have found the articles, for I have not
been arrested for stealing them"
When this explanation had been ac-
cepted the bishop told this on him
self:
"On another trip 1 visited an old
friend in an upstate parish. He was
a bachelor, whose housekeeper was q
typical old southern nanny whom
he had brought north with him. Ha
made me comfortable and l went
farther on my visitations, stopping
again with him for luncheon on my
way back to the city. He was little
embarrassed at something or other
and finally confided his trouble to me.
:" You know he said, that I am a
bachelor. Well, have the troubles of
a bachelor. When you said you would
stay overnight l found that l had no
sheets for your bed. hurried out and
borrowed a pair from a friend, with
out mammy's knowledge. My friend
came in after you had gone and took
the sheets back with him. This morn
ing nanny came into my study with
rage in her eyes.

asked, and she controlled her anger
long enough to say:

queer people in dat church o. yourn.

But. as l said before" concluded
the bishop, earnestly, Il am really

PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities of Springtime-
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.


DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the blood odimpurities ofspring.
The doctor said in substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood tLicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated: sometimes he is

HERE AND THERE.

Goats, when raised for the market
can be made to yield a profit of 100
per cent. under ordinary conditions.
Keep horses well groomed and
clean and their skin will remain
healthy, while the appearance of their
hair will add to their value.
The cattle country is rapidly sur
rendering to King Cotton. 1t is now
being clearly recognized that no other
plant will withstand the dry weather
and hard winds better than cotton.
Dairy farming offers protection
against dry weather in q large meas
ure. The crops grown by dairymen
can be selected for hardness to such
an extent that the flow of milk never
fails.
Beef cattle, when dehorned, may
be shipped great distance with pos
sibility of them injuring one another
reduced to a minimum. Owners Of
herds should bear this in mind when
asserting calves for future market.
Rice growers of Texas and Louisi-
ana are making fight against the dis
elimination shown foreign rice over
the southern product in northern mar
kets, especially the great brewing GEN.
tiers.
Raise the best grade of sweet po-
tatoes and secure the highest market
price, and in addition feel assured that
your customers will be satisfied. A
stringy sweet potato which is sweet in
name only is worse than tough meat
or stale bread.
Possibilities for the growing of
fruit trees in the southwest are un-
bounded. Texas alone has S,248,35s
peach trees, is planting at the rate
of 100000 trees a year andis now the
greatest state in the Union in the num-
Der of trees.
1t is estimated that there are six
hundred kinds of weeds and grasses
growing in the Mississippi valley
Sheep eat five hundred and fifty kinds,
horses 50 and cattle Sc kinds. Keep
at least 25 sheep on each 160-acre farm.
The profitable milk cow fits into
farm life so perfectly that she need not
displace other industries. Farm work
needs to be readjusted to permit
smooth working and best results, but
the total increase in labor is not so
large as the increase in total income.
