busting is an exercise that will do as
much to teach woman to lean properly
as any that is taught in a gymnasium.
Here again the thing to remember is that
any leaning must be done from the waist,
not from the shoulders
In busting the furniture of whole

and if a woman cares enough about her
looks to take little pains she can learn
a great deal about grace in bending side

Done from the waist and hips it will

One thing would say here is that
woman cannot be too particular about
having the windows open, so that she
can get plenty of fresh air while doing
homework.
The work is invigorating, and there
should be good air taken into the lungs
while they are supplying the body.
Moreover, cleaning, of course, makes
a great deal Of dust, and as much as pos

BEEF CATTLE A SPECIALITY.
Cattle Raising Safe Enterprise.
But Should Be II Spe-
cial Feature.

South Carolina has never raised beef
cattle to any extent. Up to this date,
with a few exceptions, cattle of all
sorts, sizes, sexes and ages have been
bought up by dealers, fed short time
and put on the market. In the upper
part of the state no one so far as we
know has made it special business.
that a farmer can enter on. The price
of beef is high, and the demand is
constant. There is no danger of glut-
ting the market. Cattle, small grain
and cotton make a combination that
will lift mortgages, improve lands, give
better homes and produce more pros
porous conditions.
When one looks over the waste
places of this state, he sees the neces-
sity of a revival TIE Beef trust is
fastened on the people. The price OF
cut Reats is fixed hy the trust, which
is encouraged by our national legisla-
tion There is 70 sign Of reduction
in the price. Our people should be
exhorted to raise beef cattle on large
scale On the rivers and abandoned
lands of the state there is ample room
for Thousands of cattle.
Raising beef or fat cattle is a spe-
cialty. The dairy business, thorough
bred hogs, sheep and horses can not
go along with it. The fact is, the
farmer who is trying a half-dozen or
more specialties at the same time will
generally fail He should have a big
bank account, and then he may get
some fun out of the business. Let him
take that one thing for which he and
his land are best suited, and stick to
it through thick and thin. If cotton
is his crop, let him plant cotton, with
only enough small grain, corn and
truck to supply the farm. # in the
dairy business, let him raise, dairy
cattle, and subordinate all his efforts
toward getting the best dairy posi-
BILE. If he goes into the fat cattle
business, let every crop planted and
every house built be to the interest Of
beef cattle. That is the only way to
succeed in South Carolina. Two years
ago a carload of young shorthorns and
grades were sold in Spartanburg. They
were bought by farmers. Up to this
date no special improvement has been
reported in size or quality Of cattle

ABOUT Roup IN FOWLS.
The "Grfppe" of the Feathered Race
Which Quite often Proves
Fatal Ailment.

This is the season of the year when
this disagreeable, and often fatal dis
ease is most prevalent among the
fowls. 1t is the Grippe of the feath-
cred race, which quite often runs into
consumption, or general wasting away.
1t begins with a cold, with running
at the eyes and nostrils-wfth rattle,
cough or wheeling, and frequently ac-
companied with swelling about the
eyes, and the collection of offensive
fetid matter in mouth and eyes.
1t is a disease which seems to be
confined to domestic fowls and birds;
as we have yet to hear of anything
in feathers that is wild, having this
disease when killed or captured.
This disease is a most disagreeable
one to doctor, and hard one to cure.
We have had many ups and downs
with it, and have tried, probably, ev-
cry remedy that anyone else has ever
tried: and we are prepared to say
that none of them can be relied upon
in every instance We have cured
roup on many occasion, but on a
great many others we have failed
and We have had more of failure than
success.
The truth is. roup is largely the
outgroWth OF inexperience, and mis-
management on the part of the poul-
trymen. It is disease that may be
more easily prevented than cured. In
deed, there need be no roup under
proper management.
Dryness warmth and exercise are
the three things necessary to keep
fowls in health during the cold and
wet season of the year. The first
named means a good roof and siding
to the henhouse, and the second inn
plies a snug corner for the rOosting
perches-a space curtained off in one
corner, so that there will be a warmer
temperature about the chickens on the
roost at night than is generally cur
rent in the more open space OF the
house. The third essential suggests
a place where there is dry litter and
dust, where grain may be thrown Tor
the fowls to scratch for. kS# sEAks
Situated after this manner there will
be little, or no roup. 1t is either the
cold and wet, Or the warm and damp
siiust ton which induces roup, and the
listless bird that has no place to
scratch about in, and thus utilize its
natural function, that is first to take it.
Probably the best remedy for roup
is quick dip of the head of the sick
bird into a small bucket of warm salty
water-several dips in succession after
it has gone to roost of an evening.
This remedy repeated three or four
times a week will often cure roup in
the milder form. But, if the canker
and offensive matter has appeared, q
Ratchet is the best remedy.-H. B.
Greer, in Farmers Home Journal.

wHEAT.cLovER ROTATION
The Growth of Glover Improves
the Soil splendidly For
the Coming Crop.

The growth of clover improves the
soil in splendid way for the coming
crop. When clover is sown among the
young wheat, the roots strike deep
and the plant collects and feeds on
nitrogen. Thus the clover stores up
supply of this useful and expensive
element of plant food in the subsoil
for the growth of wheat or corn which
follows.
The large amount Of nitrogen which
the clover contains is one of its most
prominent features, it being twice as
much as that found in the grain crops.
It is found that the two average clover
crops of the one year contain about
four times as much nitrogen as would
be contained in an average crop Of
wheat grown on the same land. And
there still remains in the roots, stub
BILE and leaves of clover more than
enough nitrogen that can be used by
the wheat crop which will follow.
The thing for the farmer to do is
to have a fine growth of clover. This
he can easily get by using the proper
amounts of potash and phosphorfc
acid. In the clover, as in all the root
crops, potash is the most needed ele-
ment; therefore, potash fertilizers are
found to be the best for them.
In rotation, by growing a clover
crop, the farmer should insure rank
growth of clover by supplying plenty
of potash Thus he will get the ex-
pensive nitrogen, which is furnished
by the clover, at small cost.
An average corn and timothy crop
three hundred pounds of nitrogen. II
the farmer would buy three hundred
pounds of nitrogen to put back into
the soil as a fertilizer, it will cost him
some $45. But he can save most Of
this expense by growing good clover
crop, which will supply, as we have
seen, plenty of nitrogen for the corn
crop.
In growing clover, an excess Of
phosphoric acid will have tendency
to unduly stimulate the crop and force
It to early maturity, which means
poorer growth. Therefore, If fertilizer
has been used on the wheat at the
fall planting, the farmer will find 1t
desirable to apply the potash as top
dressing in the spring, say from one
hundred to two hundred pounds of
muriate of potash per acre. The OBJ
ject is to maintain proper balance
to plant food necessary for the differ
ent crops il. rotation.-American Gull
tiyatOr.
