Rose Combs on Fowls.

Nearly all breeds of fowls that
have single combs have also varieties
of the breed with double combs.
Thus there is no difference between
the single comb Brown Leghorn and
the rose comb Brown Leghorn except
the combs. The rose comb was de.
Neloped with the intention of making
the same variety better able to stand
the cold. The single comb, having
a very large surface, easily froze in
extremely cold weather. The devel-
opment of the rose comb brought the
parts OF the comb of the fowl nearer
to the head. and made it easier to
keep up the circulation of the blood
in the comb. The rose comb, how
ever, should be kept OF medium size.
There is a tendency among some
breeders to develop it more than is
necessary. The more they develop it,
the more they expose it to the cold.
They have only to keep on charging
it TO get the effect Of the single comb.
The closer the rose comb is to the
head, the more serviceable is it in
cold climates.

Selling Day-old Chickens.

1t has become a practice at many
Of our poultry shows for the COM
panies having incubators to sell, to
sell the newly-hatched chickens to
the visitors at small price. We no.
tice that the same thing is being done
in some of the large department
stores in Chicago. This is almost a
cruelty to the chicks, as they general
ly die from exposure, except when
the weather is very warm The pur.
chasers generally know nothing about
the care of young chicks and do not
realize that they must be kept at a
temperature we'll up in the nineties.
The citizens that buy chicks at this
age have no way of keeping them
at such temperature, even if they
knew enough to do so. We hear,
however, that in England the prac-
tice of selling newly-hatched chicks
has become extensively established,
but there the sellers have regular
methods of packing. handling and
shipping these chicks. Many of them
are sold in large quantities to people
That have breeders for receiving them
and carrying them through the ten.
der period. We believe that the bust.
ness OF selling day-old chicks could
be made profitable one, both to the
seller and the purchaser, provided it
were properly carried on. Ii these
chicks are to be sold to citizens who
only want few of them, it would
seem almost necessary that some
dlminutive brooder should be invent
ed in which they could be properly
cared for.-Estella Harper, Carroll Co.

Fertilizers in the South,

The twelve southern states longSago
began to use fertilizers. Exhaustive
cropping systems that have been in
vogue in the South for a hundred
years have depleted the land of its
fertility to such an extent that good
returns are insured only by the appli-
cation of vast quantities of costly CON-
mercial fertilizers. For last year the
total number of fertilizer establish
ments in the southern states was 2O6.
The total capital invested was in ex.
cess of $37.OO0,0OO. These factories
used last year raw materials to the
value of $l6,OO0,O0O They turned out
a product valued at more than $4,000.
900. The fertilizer tonnage for the
south during the last twelve months
for which we have reportsswas 2,44l,-

izers in Georgia alone was Sas.s16.

Farms Running Down.

Any observant man who drives
through long settled farming district
cannot fail to note that old farms that
were once beautiful in every way are
beginning to look desolate and untidy.
The writer could name districts in
which this is notably the case, and
in every one of them the reason Is
that the young folk fail to take
proper interest in the old homestead
and in the best methods of farming
and tidiness. One of them spoken to
every hand said, There isn't dollar
for me in mere tidiness. My time is
wholly devoted to necessary work, as
that means money" This may be
true in sense, but it is wrong in
principle, and when the time comes
to sell farm, tidiness counts as
also it does when strangers seek to
learn the character and business
standing of man. The old settlers
of many of the fine farms of the
country come from the east or
from foreign countries, where
udiness rules in farm management.
They were so proud of their newly
gained homes that they kept them up
in fine style; for they had been rent
ers before or too poor even to rent
farm in the old country. Here boys
and girls grew up and were educated
better than their parents and quickly
acquired new and expensive ideas
and habits. These young folk now
run the old farms or have rented
them out and gone to work in the
cities The result is deplorable. The
old farms are growing old in every
sense of the word. They should be
improving in every way, but instead
the fences and buildings are going to
rack and ruin, the trees require trim
ming, the fields have become impov'
erished. There is, in short, every
sign OF shiftlessness and slovenliness
about the old places and the pioneer
owners would be sorry indeed could
they see the state of decay into which
their old homes have fallen. 1t is
| time to renovate these fine old places
| There are associations about them
that should be dear to the children Of
the former owners. They should be
kept up not merely for the sake of the
dollar, but for appearances and senti
ment, and we contend that farmer
tidy by nature and in practice is sue
cessful in farming 10 advantage anG

OLD WOOD FOR vIoLlNs.

The old wood in the Lippincott man

strument makers, who claim that they

wood is not only seasoned, but is of a
kind that it is almost impossible to
get nowadays One of the foremost
violin makers of this country made
the discovery that the joists in the
yellow mansion were of a quality of
spruce wood, now extinct, that is of
rare quality for the rim and back of
violins. He got monopoly on the
old wood, and while the wreckers
were tearing down the house he en-
ployed detectives to watch his prize.
Other violin makers soon learned of
the fine quality of the wood, and they
endeavOred to get some of it, only to
learn that their alert competitor had
purchased it all. The violin makers
say that the joists are unusually thick
and that the spruce is of the finest
quality that has been found in this
country. They claim that nothing to
equal it for violin making has been
found in America, and that with prop

canada's Export of Poultry Products

81
Canada has been for number
of years making special efforts to Sc.
cure large share of England's trade
in poultry products. The Canadian
government has spent good deal of
money in teachingrthe farmers how to
fatten poultry and dress it in the most
approved fashion. Yet the Canadians
have not been able to export much in
excess Of a million dollars worth a
year. But the reason has not been
that the English did not like Cana
dian poultry products. 1t is that the
Canadian people are willing to pay
more for the products than the Eng
lish are willing to pay Thus the
products are kept at home. In the
Northwest territories Of Canada there
is rapidly increasing population and
that population is consuming more
and more Of poultry products and is
even importing from the United
States. 1t is good sign when the
Canadians can find such a ready mar.
ket at home.

Grass HeadIands.

Last season we visited fine farm
in one Of the great grain raising states
and were particularly pleased with the
appearance of the fields. Flowing had
been carefully done for years, so that
the land was level and smooth and
around each field ran a headland
seeded to grass and just wide enough
for team of horses to turn handily
without injuring the standing crop Of
corn. The fences on this farm were
we'll made and properly kept up, so
that the pillow could be run close up
to each of them if necessary, but this
had been done long since, and grass
now took the place too often occupied
by weeds.
Questioned, the farmer gave it as
his opinion that the grass or hay cut
on the headlands paid quite as well
as the crop that would be otherwise
injured by teams and implements, but
his chief reason for adopting grass
headlands was to keep down weeds
and give the farm a fine and neat APP
pearance. Every reader OF the paper

at the same time keeping down the

of grass headlands. They save time

besides making it an easy matter to

SO destroy weeds that would otherwise
go to seed. We would like to hear
from our readers upon this subject
and are ready to be converted over
again if we have come to a wrong
conclusion relative to the advantages
of having grass headlands around the
tields.-A. S. Alexander in Farmers

shipping Eggs.

The man that has eggs to
ship long distance must take
the utmost care in packing them.
and must consign them to agencies
that will take proper care of them.
For this reason, express companies
have been largely patronized by the
producers of eggs because, when con-
signed to these companies, the eggs
receive more attention than when
sent by freight. By the latter they
would be exposed to rough handling,
sometimes to zero weather, and at.
other times would be placed near
stoves or steam pipes. which would
be equally detrimental. i
