"Ye Shall Know Hereafter"

What Is approved by God-hono:s
Him, resembles Him-must be made
successful. triumphant and predom-
inant, in His empire. He will not for
ever suffer the enemy's camp on His
grand field. The awful mystery, why
this triumphant ascendancy is so slowly
achieved, so long delayed in this world,
will. it is reasonable to believe, be one
of the subjects for illumination in a
higher state Of existence, where en-.
larging faculties will have endless
duration for their exercise. 1t may
then be seen that the whole course OF
this world, from the beginning to the
end, was "a Gay Of small things" as
compared with tine seQuel-only as n
brief introduction to an immense and
endless economy.-John Foster.

Making a Business.

One who has had experience anu
thoroughly understands the business
can make the poultry business pront'
able almost anywhere. One who has
had no experience should be very care
ful. The following from the Southern
Agriculturist is very good advice:
A reader who is much interested IN
building up poultry farm IN the
South says that he has eighty acres OF
land located on main line Of railroad
between two cities Of 10000 and 10000
inhabitants. He says the nature OF
the soil Is dead and red, but that clover
will grow rankly on it. There are
few springs on the hillside that may
be used to advantage. This man wants
to start into the egg business and asks
how many incubators and how many
hundred head Of good pullets he should
buy to start with.
He has one of the essential points
of success, for he wants nothing but
pure-bred stock to work with. White
Leghorns are the fowls he wants to
use in this egg business.
He should not start with incubators,
but with one incubator and pen OF
ten or twelve pullets and cockerel.
His incubator and brooder can be
bought this winter and he can profit.
ably put in some time trying to hatch
store eggs" or those he can buy up
among the farmers near his small 50.
burban home. He does not live on the
farm now, but in q small place in the
outskirts of town. Here he can put
in two good years Of work while hang
ing on to his office work. The pen OF
pullets will lay enough eggs to keep
an incubator busy all season. AS ne
becomes proficient he can spread ont
until he will have to move to his farm.
On his small place he can learn how to
mate, raise and select his best fowls.
He can learn Ecw to fight lice and pro.
duce early spring eggs for his incu.
ba tors. These and a thousand other
things will keep him so busy while
out Of office that the time will so in
hurry. II he undertakes too much be.
fore he has had experience, the chances
are that we will hear Of his quitting in
disgust. 1t will take two years for him
to acquire good working knowledge,
and in each year thereafter he will
learn twice as much. Let him read
largely, but sift the chan from the
wheat; stick to the business, and make
it win, II you can. Ask questions, and
study for yourself. Get to the bottom
of. the troubles you meet, but never
let them twice get you down. Remem-
Der that health and size are the two
things to keep right in the parent
stock, then ills with chicks will not be
too hard to conquer. After getting
things going, then begin to hunt the
best markets. Try to arrange to sup
ply swell hotels and restaurants with
your brand Of table eggs. When you
prove that yours are best the price
will not cut any tgure-the demand
will not be easy to ill If the reputation
holds good.

The same thing holds true OF repu-

not ask waShonor. 1t was enough for

themselves concern over summer: they
are the gift of spring to summer, ana
summer will take care OF them. so,
living as we ought, we commit our rep
utation to God whose presence and
whose care are the real summer OF all
good things among men.
If Solomon informed his courtierS OF

told him that he had missed a great

For Better Farming in the South.

The Southern farmer has had heavy
burdens to carry for number of years,
and the situation, while much i'm
proved, needs to be carefully consid-
cred. There is 4 vast difference be-
tween bad farming, fairly good farm
ing and frst-rate farming.
No farmer ought to be satisfied with
anything less than tirst-rate farming.
Now, tirst-rate farming begins with
the soil. All soils are not alike. One
lacks one ingredient, on another. Some
soil is too wet, some not moist enough,
but within certain lines the condition
OF the soil depends upon the man who
tills it.
Ii there is too much moisture it must
be drained and lime must be added.
Then there must be plowing that will
pulverlze the soil, break up the clods,
release those imprisoned chemical
agents that work for the life Of the
plant.
Starting with better drainage and
with better plowing, you come to the
crops. 1t is we'll recognized now that
certain crops enrich the soil through
the elements they draw from the at
mosphere. Glover was long recognized
as a good fertilizer without knowing
just why. We know why now, and in
the South, especially, We know that the
cowpea is just as good, in many soils
better, and in the West We know that
alfalfa is the great regenerator Of the
soil. There are many places In the
South where alfalfa can be used bene-
fcially, and it ought to be experiment.

Expsriene. !. feeding Milk.

A writer in the Southern Planter
recommends feeding milk to the poul-
try. For young growing chickens and
Tor laying hens its value can hardly be
overestimated.
The great benefit to be derived from
the feeding of milk to fowls seems to
De almost entirely ignored by the ma
iority of poultry keepers. When corn
is the principal ration, as is the case
On the majority of farms, i liberal sup
ply Of milk to balance up this ation
will be found most profitable in the re-
turn Of eggs. If hens arc fed all the
milk they can be induced to drink along
with a corn ration, great gains can be
expected in the egg production. Last
year we fed our fowls largely on corn,
especially our laying hens, and for 4
balanced ration We supplied all the
milk We could spare, and the result
was better production Of eggs than IN
any previous winter. On farms where
there is good supply OF milk there
should be no reason for not receiving
large number Of eggs. Where milk
4 supplied literally, animal food in the
Qrm Of cut green bone can be reduced,
Us milk furnishes largely the elements
found in bone. Milk and corn make a
much better combination than milk,
wheat and oats. Feed the layers milk
and corn, alternately with green food
in the shape of cabbage or prepared
clover, and you have most ideal food
for reproduction. Milk can be given
in almost unlimited quantities without
any serious results following. 1t very
often happens that feeding meat too
freely produces diarrhoea, which
checks the supply Of eggs, but in feed
ing milk We do not experience such
unfavorable results. On the contrary,
where it is not convenient for the
farmer to get bone from the butcher,
he can supply milk instead, which Is
almost or quite as good as bone. We
know q lady who feeds corn and milk
the year round to both young and old,
with very satisfactory results, using
the sour milk (after boiling it) in mash
with decided benefits, especially with
the young growing stock. Next season
we shall use boiled sour milk, wheat
bran and cornmeal, sprink!ed with pull
verified charcoal for our young chick.
ems, believing we have food that will
be wholesome, palatabie and inexpen-
sive compared to some of the prepared
chick foods now on the market. At
the same time We shall provide
skinned milk as we have previously
done for the fowls to drink, believing
we can realize more from the produce
in feeding in this way than any other
wag we could feed it, realizing that 1t
will be practically impossible to get
too much milk before our fowls. II a
patch of wheat or rye is sown close
to the poultry run to supply green stun
naturally for the fowls during the
winter months, and they are constantly
supplied with milk, We stake our all
ON it that eggs will be plentiful, stock
healthy and vigorous, with the assur-
ance of strong fertility in eggs when
the breeding season opens up.
