FARMERS AT THE SHOWS.
n the Farm and Efreslde.

From the Farm and Preside.
 Every farmer should attend the fairs and poultry shows, and should also ex- hibit, as any interest taken in fairs leads to improvement of the fiocks. Many farm CTS afraid to exhibit. not knowinf how to prepare the fowls. 5t may require work for awhile to get the ks in proper condition but the pleasure, Twin ming will be ample compensation, al- though the prize money is also an in- ducement. To get ready for an exhlbi- tion, begin about six weeks ahead with selected members of the flock. and twice a week oil the legs, combs, wattles and peaks, using a mixture of a gill of lard oil and a teaspoonful of crude petro- leum. This will clean the legs. Two weeks before the time for exhibiting feed sunhower seed three times a week Wash the combs, wattles, legs and peaks once week, and sponge the combs and wattles with a mixtures of one part of alcohol to two parts of water. Two days before shipping the birds make a soap suds from castillo soap, and have the suds strong and lathery. Take the tub and birds into a room heated to one hundred and five degrees, wash the birds thor oughly (do not be afraid to rub, and rinse them in another tubful of clean. warm water. Put the birds in very warm room. and as they will puff up their feathers. on account of the heat. each feather will dry separately and fall into its place. If this is not done the

SUGAR FROM SWEET porAroEs

From the Southern Agriculturist
 The possibilities of the southern sweet potato is not half known, and the Agri- culturist has for years been urging the increased acreage of this plant as a table luxury. But recently D. Landrth Seed company. Bristol. Pa. have been advocating it's culture for A sugar pro- ducing crop. They claim that the beet of one hundred years ago had only pounds of sugar to the 100 pounds. has been Increased to IA pounds and that the sweet potato can be manipulated as successfully as has been the beet The Agriculturst ccncurs with that opinion, There arc some varieties of potatoes that contain a higher per cent of sac charine juices than the beet. The soft cooking sweet potatoes of the south are so full of sweet juices that when they are baked, the syrup will ooze from the potato and cover the bottom of the oven with molasses or the first stage towards sugar The writer of this believes
 is a wonderful future for the swe

 But the southern people have not risen to tho demands of this delicious plant and will not cultivate one-fourth enough to meet even the home demands. Sweet potatoes are in the Nashville markets enly in small lots at about $1 per bushel when they can be profitably cultivated at 90 cents per bushel. The sandy loamy soils of the south will grow from 16O to POO bushels per acre. They can be easily kept through the winter, and Tn the early spring when the Irish potato of the north are about exhausted the sweet potato will come in for good profits. Increase the acreage this season, and clip the vines and plant them as slips. There will be money In such action.

full of dry dust in every poultry house, both winter and summer, and 1t should be often renewed. constant and never failing dust bath is the very best remedy for lice.
 Excess of salt is not good for fowls; when they can get to 1t they sometimes eat 1t in fatal quantities; but little salt, as for instance, in their food, IS beneficial.
 Chickens are the most profitable ami mals on the farm, but they generally re- ceive the least attention.
 It is scarcely enough to go out once a day to gather up the eggs. Go among the fowls often and learn to know them Learn their individual habits
 Empty the ashes, either wood or coal, into the poultry yard or if you empty them in the poultry house it is' not bad.
 k-e you keeping accounts with the poultry? Can you tell how many eggs you have sold, how many you nave set, and how many chicks have matched? And later, how many chicks you raise, and how many you sell and what you get for them? All this will be interesting next winter.
 There is more cholera in the drinking vessels than anywhere else. Keep them clean.
 Late chickens sometimes do very we'll, but they require more care than early ones.
 Don't forget to keep tab on the thrifty bullets. They are to lay the nigh priced eggs next winter.
 Sell the young roosters as fast as they come Into the best market There Is much waste in keeping too many roosters.
 The poultry that Is having the run of the orchard now Is serving well their day and generation.
 It Is a pity so many people don't know how many chickens they raise.
 Pick. the geese and ducks regularly; somebody will want the feathers.

St. Louis June 22AThe greatest school of instruction for farmers fruit grow CTS and stockmen that has ever existed is the Worlds fair at St. Louis. The whole theme of the fair is instruction; It's most striking features are those per- tainng to education. To the farmer espe- cially the educational features are val uable. In fact more can be learned in scientific up to date, practical farming at the Worlds fair in week. than can be learned at all of the county and state fairs of the country In years. Here ev erything is thorough and complete and every sort of improved machinery and method of cutivating the soil is care fully demonstrated.
 The Palace of Agriculture is the largest puiluing on the ground, so great is the importance attached to farming by the exposition company. Besides this, there are many acres outside the building de- voted to agriculture. and the Palace of Horticulture is devoted to frlut and fruit growing In the Palace of Agriculture the various states of the union and the leading nations of the world have ex- hibits, showing their principle products. These are arranged with excellent taste the products of the field and farm being turned into artistic decorations and beau hful pictures
 With the various products exhibited are given facts and figures, showing where the best crops are made and the relative merits of the different varieties of grain. fruits, vegetables. etc. Some of the lead ing field crops are made special features of the state exhibits and are displayed in way to impart much useful in- formation to farmers from all localities. by showing the effects of improving the seed, eultiyating and crossing varieties.
 How to Destroy Pests.
 The United States government expert mental stations show their methods of cultivating the soil and destroying in- sects that injure crops. The details of dls- posing of destructive Insects, if studied by the farmers of the country. will save millions of dollars worth of farm pro- duets which are annually destroyed by these insect pests. It win be money well invested by every farmer in the land to visit the Worlds fair and study the ag- ricultural exhibits thoroughly and learn how to protect his crops from the ravages of Insects, how to get the best results from planting. how to cross varieties to the best advantage and how to strength en and fertilize the soil most effectively.
 The experiments made by others can be utilized by the farmers who visit and study the Worlds fair. They can see what crops thrive best in different soils and climates. what crops succeed best with different fertilizers, when crops should be varied in order to rest the soil. and thous4d valuable pointers about

STATION TO BREED "cATALo."

From the American Farmer.
 Quite a novel and promising project in the live stock line is that set on foot by Charles J. Jones of Kansas, who has succeeded in interesting President Roose7 welt in plan for breeding an animal of the bovine variety which will withstand the rigors of the Alaskan climate. The President has become interested in the experiment of crossing the buffalo with native cattle, which has been tried sev- eral years in various parts of the west. MT. Jones was formerly partner of Charles sGoodnig.ss of Goodnight, Tex, and is well versed in the science of pro- ducing "catalo," as the cross has been named. He discussed the experiments with the President. The latter favors a government experimental station to con- tinue the work. MT. Jones says:
 'sThe President has come to believe as I have that the 'catalo' is the only do- mestic animal which can successfully withstand the Alaskan climate. herd of of these animals of quarter-breed buff falo and three-quarter- breed cattle would be a wonderful thing for Alaska. The an- imals are as prolific breeders as the buffa- To, and they are much harder than the ful1-biood buffalo. Their hair is almost as long and thick as that of the buffalo andlthe can live through blizzard that would kill 90 per cent of the cattle ex- nosAA. tn it. laid these facts before

POULTRY POINTERS.
From the Up to Date Farmer. Watch the chicks now.

From the up to Date Farmer.
 Watch the chicks now.
 Success or failure of the poultry season depends upon the days and nights now passing,
 Don't forget lime and gravel Both are necessary in the poultry yard.
 Be sure of clean water for the chicks and keep their roosting places clean.
 Feed ooops are very necessary to keep the large chicks and fowls from tramping the little, ones to death.
 Rats are likely to be bad this time of year. Don't neglect them till they get some of your best broods.
 Watch the hen that first comes of the roost and that last retires at night. She is said to be the best layer.

RAISING STANDARD MILcH COWS,

From the Southern Agriculturallst.
 Breeders of milch cows are fixing very high standard to admit cows into a dairy. Some take the position that COW that not produce 300 pounds of butter per year Is not worthy to be classed as a butter maker and should be Filled for beef. There are very few of the best Jerseys in Tennessee that will come up to this high standard. Another dairy nan fixes the following as his standard. which is some less and he says; Our standard Is 5000 pounds of milk and 250 pounds of butter.
 I expect we shall bring our herd up to 10000 pounds of milk and 4O0 pounds of butter per cow
 That can only be done by process of breeding and selection.
 When we buy a COW we weigh her milk every night and morning take sample and put it Into the Babcock test and test 1t.
 Then at the end of the month we know the number of pounds of milk she Is yielding and the percentage of fat
 At the end of the year we know what each COW has done, and if she does not come up to the standard we get rid of her.
 In the case of heifers. with their first calves, we give them a second trial.
 That briefly is the plan we have adopt ed-rai3ing Ill our heifer calves. having them drop their calves at two and one- half or three years old, milking for two lactation periods, and weeding out at the end of the second lactation period.
 To impfove the quality of the herd and the quantity of the milk yield, a man must not only breed his cows right, and weed them out according to standard, but it also involves a question of feed ing.
 People say: "No wonder your cows milk well you feed them so we'll"
 Cows cannot be expected to milk well on a small quantity Of feed.
 I have no time tosdiscuss sthe question of feeding in detail; the main thing Is to give the cow all the bulky food she will eat; but it shot Id be of digesticle and palatable nature.
 Tn addition to this she should receive eight pounds of meal to every thirty pounds of milk produced, In order that she may produce milk economically.

object Lessons Numerous.


 But why enumerate2 We have these object lessons now all over the country showing what may be accomplished by education and cooperation, and we also have many failures to show that the only road to success is along the lines as in- ted-diversifcation. organization, CO., operation and education. These are the roads that lead to success in farming and the farmer who refuses to get in line and keep up with the procession ifs sure to prove a failure.
 Isn't 1t strange that when the general government.- the states and the railroads all unite In providing these educational meetings and bring to them the most experienced men of the country. all free of charge the people refuse to attend these meetings preferring to stand around the corners and speculate on things that are not worth a cent to them7 In these meetings information can be had free of charge, that cost the givers years of hard study and hundreds of dol lars to secure.

What an Association Did.

While these people were having this
 sad experience with their cantaloupe crop, their was a live, wide-awake as-' sociation only few miles from them
 who shipped IS cars which netted the growers ss01 per crate. ;'hls means more than the value of crop of cotton yield ing two bales per acre Now had this last association sat down and waited un-, til their cantaloupes were ready to ship fefore making any provision for crates or for market they too might say thare is no money in iaising cantaloupes.
 I might point to Crystal Springs, Miss issippi,- and ask the question, How is 1t that these people who started a few years ago by shipping a few crates of fruits and vegetables, and from this small be- ginning have builded up an industry that will enable ttem this season to ship ], 4O0 cars of fruits and vegetables to northern results have not been obtained by men who stand on the street corners and spit juice and talk about how the should be run or who sit around the stores and whittle on goods boxes and never attend the agricultural meetings which are held regularly in the town for their benefit ~
