POULTRY NOTES.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Securing eggs in winter is largely tho result of good management.
 Everything in point of symmetry de- bends on the sire.
 Be careful not to over-feed the hens will not lay and it, invites disease.
 If fowl are to be confined they should be kept in fiocks of not over twenty five
 Scattering the food well is a good plan of inducing the fowl to take exercise.
 Corn when fed to a hen by itself has a tendency to fatten rather than aid in egg production.
 A good layer ought never to be sacri- feed so long as she can be used for breeding purposes.
 To avoid roup among the fowl have the nests high and dry and avoid direct draughts.
 The use of cross bred In mongrel cocks prevents uniformity in color and char acteristics of the chicks.
 A pure bred cock will beget chicks from all kinds of hens that will resemble him In appearance.
 The plumage should be a secondary consideration to the real value of the breed for practical purposes.
 One decided advantage with the small fiocks is that each individual can be given better attention.
 The small flock pays best. because on a farm a certain amount of food costs nothing.
 It rarely pays to keep hen long after 2 years old. unless she is especially val uable as a breeder and mother
 A well-fed and well-cared for fowl is always in prime condition, and with little extra feeding will soon be fit for the table.
 Tar and sulphur burned in the poultry house once month with the door closed Is good disnfectant

PEACH eaowlNe-pRAlNAeE

Looking over what have had to say on peach growing in other chapters find that but litle was said on this i'm portant part of the industry. l want to state here at the start that peach trees will not thrive with wet feet. This Is why we see so many failures in peach growing, and this is especially true and noticeable in or all along the coast coun- try, where the trees soon take the yell lows and die out.
 The subsoil must be we'll drained, freed from all sour acid water that may have accumulation In she soil and rendered 1t unfit for the growth of trees. Then, too all surplus water, whether sour or not must be carried off if the trees are to succeed. Tile drainage is by far the best and most economical in the end, as 1t Is put under ground Is never Tn the way In cultivation and forever does away with open ditches. which are always in the way. Besides they furnish a growing place for weeds, briars and brush which are always hard to manage. Peach grow CTS are beginning to realize the impor-

Turnips.


 The turnip crop is one, or should be made one, of the important crops for the southern farmer. All vacant land can be used for the growing of this crop, but to succeed the soil must be prepared as outlined above. Sowings may be made regular after the 18th of July and on up into September. The turnip furnishes valuable succulent food for sheep and cattle and more attention should be given to this crop. Turnips are also fine Tor family use, and the sweetest and best turnips are grown on new timber land, fresh clearings, and not sown too early. The land should be cleared month or so ahead of sowing time and kept well cultivated up to time of sowing.
 The turnip Is or should be a quick growing vegetable to bring out it's best qualities, hence 1t should not be sown too early. The plants w4en young are weak and slow to start, and if the weather is dry and hot they are almost sure to sun scald and perish. A good plan is to SOW a small quantity of rye, say a quarter bushel per acre, with the turnip seed. The rye holds the mois- ture shades the young lants. and the insects, the turnip fly, will feed on the rye instead of the young turnip plants.

CTS institutes, where there is a free ex- change of experiences of growers who understand the matter thoroughly.
 It would be almost useless to attempt to give much advice on spraying in paper of this kind, for unless we knew what the conditions were we could not advise. But much of this work and wor- ry can be prevented by keeping first the soil in a healthy condition and next Watchfnl care over the trees. Stamp out at once all insects or disease which may appear. In either case of insects or disease I should much prefer pre- Ventative methods. Then to wait and have to fight for protection.
 Another good plan in fighting insects is to destroy as far as possible the parents Of the insects-that is kill the moths that lay the eggs which make the trouble some worms. When one moth Is killed in time 1t means the destruction of many worms. These flying moths can be de- stroyed by placing lamps in the orchards at night in such a way that the moths ! in flying around the lights and striking the lamps will be knocked down into vessels of oil or water. This practice is largely in vogue with tomato growers for the destruction of the moth that lays the egg for the worm that is so de- structiye to the tomato crop It has proven a great success
 All decayed or injured fruit should be destroyed and not left to lie around in the orchard to breed insects or disease. Much of the fruit that falls premature ly either contains worms or is diseased
 and should be destroyed. It will be cheaper to have the orchards so arranged
 and fenced that hogs can be turned in
 to eat the fallen fruit rather than to
 have to pick 1t up and carry it out to
 them. In fact. hog growing and poul- try raising, too. should be carried on in connection with fruit and truck farm ing. so that everything may be saved
 and turned to advantage. Both the hogs
 ana poultry will furnish much fertilizer 1 for the orchard

Additional
Local Matter


On last Sunday, Rev. Ben p. Jaco,
pastor, Ibegan prOtracted services at
the Methodist church in Grenada.
Services have been held twice each
day during the week. The interest
has been marked indeed. At night
the church has been filled, and by
their attention and continual presence
from service to service, the cOngrega-
ton has shown that they have been
deeply and pi0uSly considering the
questions SO ably and powerfully pre-
sented by the preacher. 1t is singu-
lar how people will seemingly yearn
for preaching-for an exposition OF
the divine word. 1t can be explained
upon no other hypothesis than that 1t
is that something within us that
longs to know from whence we come
and whittier we are bound. Rev. ia
co.'s services have shown him to be a
conscientious, careful and able think
er, and a man of deep piety. He has
made no attempt at the sensational,
but has preached 1.-THE good old fash
ion religion" Would that we had
more of such preaching.
We dare say that much good to the
church and the community generally
will grow out of the meeting.
