HERE AND THERE.

The landlord and tenant system is
the bane of north Texas, saws cor
respondent We need mora small
farmers who own their lands. A rent
er never plants a tree, builds house
or even repairs gate or fence if he
can avoid it.
Times have so changed that no
careful poultryman thinks of feeding
much soft poultry food, nor of placing
it upon the ground. Fe feeGs dry
food mostly, and puts it into troughs
or upon MISUNDERSTANDING.
I'm Alabama, where Bermuda grass
1t permitted to grow beneath the pear
trees, the blight of the trees is not
half so destructive as where the lands
are fortified and cultivated.
"A spirited horse may soon become
slow and spiritless by constant nag
ging, tw1tching the lines, peevish urg.
ing and other wearing process used by
fretful drivers.
The effectiveness of whitewash in
the poultry house is much increased
by applying it hot and getting it into
the cracks and corners. Always add

The Farmers Union is very
strong organization in Texas, and they
are building warehouses in many
places and preparing to hold their cot
ton for ten cents or more if the pros.
poets will justify it
Dirt floors are best for the sta
bles in which young horses have to
spend a good part of their time dur
ing the winter, but they should be
well made.
For some reason ducks are not
very popular fowl to raise in the
south, although they are free from
disease, are easily bred, and easily
raised, If they receive good attention.

manufacturers Fad REVENGE

Fourteen years ago a bottle manu-
facturer, Claude Boucher, in Cognac,
France, was forced to close his fac

the manufacture of bottles. This ma
chine is now in use in various parts
of the country; 250,OO0 bottles are
turned out by it daily. A single ma
chine produces $4,000 bottles in "a
hours; and any one can learn to run
it in week. The bottles are strong
er and look better than those made
by the blowers.
