There is more or less work in the killing
of small animals during the winter on
many farms and always the annual
butchering. although 1t is getting to be
quite the fashion in the more thickly set
tied portions OF the country to sell the
hogs in the fall and buy the meat back
from the town butcher at double price
during the winter. Where there is more
or less butchering to pe done one should
have for ready use a large boiler of some
kim SO hat a quantity of water may be
heated at one time; tools such as knives,
saws and other things used should be
kept in proper shape and everything be

Watering Cows in Winter.

1t is not a pleasant sight to see a lot Of
cows in the barn yard with their noses
thrust through n hole broken in the ice
covering q tub of water, nor is it any
wonder that such COWS are poor milk
ers. Years ago the writer worked on the
olG-timc plan OF watering cows once O.
day, at noon; after a time he tried the
plan OF Wa rering them twice daily; then
the Plan was tried of furnishing water
thrce times daily during the winter and
q comparison Of results showed that it
paid well. The water given at morning
and night is nearly warm and the cows
seem to enjoy it greatly during cold days.
That given at noon is colder, but the chill
is removed and the animals drink It free
ly. OF course ii is considerable work %
water cow in this manner, but if one has
a number Of animals some contrivance
can be put in operation which will make
the work comparatively easy. Try it for
the next two or three months, watch re-
suits in the milk pail and you will agree
hat it pays.
Keeping Up Humus Supplies.
Except on soils nearly or quite virgin
there are few farms where humus cannot
be used by the soil to great advantage.
In many sections where commercial fer
1iliZers hav been used for years, to the
exclusion of stable manures, it has been
found necessary to grow green crops for
blowing under. Where the green crops
are used as q part of the rotation, so to
speak, the exclusive use Of commercial
fertilizers can probably be safely con-
tinued. The writer has found the best re-
suits to come from the combined use of
stable manure and commercial manures,
using the former for blowing under in
the spring and the latter for top dressing
or working in just under the surface as
the crop grows. In this manner the hui
mug required by the soil is supplied and
the fert:lizing value Of the manure as
well. Q overlook the humus question

the summer pinching back OF the small
shoots covers the main pruning OF the
fruet trees, much good work may be done
~duringing the open days of winter which
will, at least, save time in the spring.
Brokne limbs ma be removed and many
of the inside limbs which are overlapping
the fruitiug twigs can be cut off during
the winter as well as IN the spring. The
work OF pruning should always be done
with a saw on limbs too large to cut with
"a sharp knife. In pruning saw from the
undersidc of the limb first, saving up a
quarter or half through, finishing from
the top. This Will result in n clean cut
and there will be no splintering as would
be the case IL a heavy limb was cut
through from the top. In the winter

That at the proper time any remedy for
any trouble found may be applied.
Raising Eggs for High Prices.
The poultryman who has handled his
OWL just right is reaping the benefit of
the high prices at which eggs are now
selling. IL the hens are not laying and
they are of an age when they should be,
the thing to do is to see that the houses
they occupy are warm and free from
d~raaghts; then look into the food ques-
ton closely and see that the ~rations fur
nish the egg producing and egg making
Gualitiesand that they are properly given;
that is, not too much or too little. Supply
fresh, warm water, plenty OF grit and a
dust box and keep the houses and the
hens free from lice. These things done
regularly for several weeks will bring the
eggs. If not, then the hens hould go to
the carcass market as soon as possible
so that the expense of feeding them may
be cut off. This may he an heroic REM
edy, but the fact remains that If a hen
cared for on the lines indicated does not
lay, provided, of course, that she is we'll
and at n laying age, she has no part in
the operation of the farm for profit and

BISHOP NELSON IN BOSTON,.

Bishop C. Kinloch Nelson of Geor-
figures at the Episcopal Triennal con-
vention in Boston says in signed
article on the race question furnished
the Boston newspapers:
1T is simply out of the question
for any man to be rightly informed
OF the condition and progress Of the
southern AfrO-American without long
residence. His manners and his
speech cannot be interpreted by the
casual traveller; his hopes, his am5i-
tons, his inner feelings are often per-
fectly disguised and it is an open Sc
cret that the Afro American lives two
different lives. one among the whites
and another among the members OF
his own race.
"Religion, to the great majority OF
the race, does not carry recognition
of the presence of God as the control
ling influence. of life, nor a definite
creed and an ethical code, but some
thing different from these
All OF which is probably intended
to convey the idea that the Afro
American is radically different from
his fellow men by nature and not as
the effect of his environment and
training. and is simply the surmise
of blatant infidel sugar-coated with
a sarctimonious punishment. The
real fact is that. of all men, the true
fuIl-blooded Southerner is the most
ignorant of the real nature OF the
Afro-American, for the good and suffl7
ciert reason that he has never seen
him except under the same conditions
and surroundings. "A chemist never
pretends to know the nature OF a
substance until he has seen it under
the most variant conditions: until ne
has tested it by intense heat, extreme
cold and the other reagents OF his
laboratory. But the true Southern
brother, with his asinine conceit and
pomposity thinks he knows it all and
that the world is a blasted fool for
not admitting that. to him. self-evident
fact. Gov. Vardaman can see no dit
ference between his bOotblack and
Booker T. Washington. Fred Douglass
or Alexander Dumas: and is highly
, delighted when the newspapers repro
duce his slobberings as an unique
specimen of unsophisticated provin-
cialism. Bishop Nelson, notwithstanG-
ing his long meter name, may be a
man of some note in Georgia, but he
needs some great conclusion to knock
some sense. into his top-piece, and a
little definite creed and ethical code
out of it. The commandment Thou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbour is a definite creed and
an ethical code of which he seems to
be lamentably ignerant.

HISTORY OF OLD HUNDRED.
Famous Psalm Tune Composed in the
Sixteenth Century.

The history Of this old psalm tune,
which every one has been accustomed
to hear ever since he can remember,
is somewhat shrouaed in mystery.
Martin Luther has generally been con-
sidered the author but it has been
pretty satisfactorily shown that it was
composed in the sixteenth century and
certainly previous to 1916, by Gull
laume lie Frame OF Rouen. 4
In the course of time. its arrange
ment has undergone repeated altera-
tons. and it is said that as it origin
ally appeared it was of a more lively
character than at present. Many OF
these alterations have been preserved
and may be seen by reference to
Moore's Ency clopedia of Music.
In England it was first sung to the
Tooth psalm, and thus came to be call.

Caldron in Few Minutes.
Near the famous and cratic geyser
of Waimangu, in New Zealand-so
whimsical in it's spoutings and times
of quiet that the oldest Mari in the
region can give the visitor no sched-
ule of these performances-the has
lately been born a new geyser. A
few hours before the birth passer-by
had stopped to look at placid little
lagoon ringed about with gentle green
slopes. Then jewellers in the region
were notified of something doing by
salvo of earthquakes, more than thlr-
ty shocks in half as many minutes
The next man who walked that way
found, instead of the placid green
ringed lagoon. a boiling, bubbling cal
dron over which lowered and scared
and rolled into fantastic shapes a
dense cloud of steam. The older and
more famous geyser looks placid
enough, too, ometimes, then it wears
a feathery, foamy cap, again it belches
out water and stones and mud to I'M
mense heights and with immense
noise.
