THE NEGRO As A FARMER.
Booker Washington Says He is at
His Worst in Large Cities

Booker T. Washington in an address
at Washington, D. c., recently struck
keynote when he stated that, The
negro is at his worst in the crowded
life of large city, and at his best in
the rural districts where he owns and
cultivateS the soil.
The speaker said the demand in the
South for negroes trained for teachers
and leaders in the class room, and the
factory was tremendous; but more
pressing yet was the demand from the
best white people of that section for
negroes to take charge of their farms,
dairies and other industries. This de-
mand is shown, he said, by the fact
that every one of the 525 students who
left Tuskegee last summer had been en-
gagged weeks before the end of the term.
Washington is solicited by mail, tele-
graph, and in person to furnish
trained negroes, and could have found
places for twice the number had they
been forthcoming
Association with the white people
has given the negro new wants, de-
sires and ambitions" said Mr.. Wash
ington; ''To these, education is neces-
sary, both to appreciate fully the newly
awakened feelings and to provide
means for their rational satisfaction.
Hence, from the most selfish point of
view, the right kind of education is
beneficial for the negro"
That the negro is not naturally an
idler is shown, the speaker said, by the
trebling of the South's industrial
wealth in the last twenty years, with
out any appreciable increase in immi
grafton. This advance is due, he
thought, in great part to the well
directed labor of the negro.

Winter Egg=Laying Contest.

A novel egg-laying competition at
the Lady Warwick's Ladies' Agricul-
tural College is reported by Consul
Daniels at Sheffield, England The
conclusions reached are that breed does
not govern so much as the laying
strain or families of breed highly de-
veloped as egg producers. The pen of
four Buff Orpingtons led from October
16 to November 16 by producing 49
eggs, and again November 16 to Decem-
ber 16 with 120 eggs. One thing the
present competition shows is the little
help it is to birds to be what show
enthusiasts call beautifully Marked
for as often as not it is the ordinary
looking competitors, birds show
judge would laugh at, that have the
biggest total of egge to their credit.
In the winter laying competition what
stands a bird in good stead is not that
it's father was the winner of a medal,
but that its mother and grandmother
were wonderful layers, and that its

reply. But I'd like to be sure of be-
slowing my cherished name on a real
good one. I'd hate to have bad one
running in my name. My friends of a
racing turn would be guying me all
the time about my namesake's perform
ances.'
"'Well,' said Ziegler, you're a pretty
good judge of a race horse yourself.
Now here are two of my cracks in
these two stalls. I'll have 'em led out
into my paddock by one of the stable
hands, and you can look them over and
take your pick of them. Whichever
one you like the better I'll name after
YOU
Done said Mr. Longworth, and the
two yearlings were led into the open.
They were both fine lockers, but Mr..
Longworth liked the appearance of the
larger one of the two the better.
That one," he said, pointing to his
pick. He looks good to me-
He's christened mick Longworth," I"
then,' said Mr.. Ziegler, and the colt was
duly named Nick Longworth and regis
tered with the Jockey Club under that
name.
Now, the other colt of the pair from
which Mr.. Longworth made his selec-
ton was afterward named Hermis.
Sounds kind O. familiar to you, eh,
that name. Hermis? Well, l should
think it would sound familiar, seeing
that, in the deliberate belief of many of
the most astute horsemen in this coun-
try, Hermis was absolutely the finest
race horse ever foaled in the United
States, a speed and distance marvel,
a bulldog who never knew when he
was beaten, and an animal worthy to
be ranked with the very greatest race
horses of all time in this or any other
country.
$50 much for Hermis, the one that
Mr.. Longworth didn't pick out. AS for
the one that he did pick out, and that
was named Nick Longworth-well,
Nick was worth about S972 as a rae
ing proposition, and that's about ALL
while On Thursdays when the wind was
SOU '-sou'east by nor, but hecouldn't get
out of his own way in running with
even fair handicap horses, and he lost
about twenty times to one win, and
it really did come to pass that Mr.
Longworth's Cincinnati friends guyed
him numerically about his namesake
horse. Mr. Longworth never, of course,
told his guying friends that he'd actu-
ally had the chance to get so noble an
animal as Hermis named after him.
He probably felt that the situation was
bad enough as it was.

PLYMOUTH RocKs-A PAIR OF PRIZE WINNERS.

fowls which will produce carcaseS and
eggs of much more uniform shape,
color, and size than will mongrels, all
of which aids in finding a ready sale.
If one already has a flock of mongrel
fowls and cannot afford to buy pure
breeds, he should choose a purebreed
male bird of the breed preferred and
mate him with few of the best mon
grel females. This system, if carefully
: followed for few years, will give a
high-grade flock that will be practically
as good as purebreds, so far as market
conditions for dressed fowls and. eggs
are concerned.
Choice of variety will depend largely
on the purpose for which the fowls are
kept-whether eggs alone, both eggs and
meat, or meat alone is the chief object;
whether white-shelled or brown shelled
eggs are desired; and whether sitters
or nonsitters are wanted.
Egg Breeds.-Nonsitters and produc-
ers of white-shelled eggs-Leghorns
and Minorcas.
General purpose 6reeds.-Sitters and
producers of brown-shelled eggs-Ply-
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Orphing-
tons, and Rhode Island Reds.
Meat Breeds Sitters and producers
of brown-shelled eggs-Light Brahmas,
Cochins, and Langshans.
What Kind of Houses.
LOc1tion.-Select an elevation hav-
ing natural drainage away from the
building, dry, porous soil, such as a
sandy or gravelly loan, being prefer
able to clay soil.
EGpOSure.-As sunlight and warmth
are essential to the best success with
poultry, the buildings should face the
south. A southeastern exposure is pref
cradle to a southwestern one if
direct southern exposure cannot be OBJ
tanned.
Size of HouSe.-The size of the house
will depend almost entirely on the
number of birds to be kept. If in flocks
of forty to sixty, about square feet
of flour space should be allotted to
each hen. The building should be high
enough for the attendant to avoid
humping his head against the ceiling.
A House for Fifty to Sixty Fowls.
The best house for fifty to sixty fowls
is 20 by IA feet; front elevation 61a
feet, back elevation 51a feet, with
double pitch roof of unequal span. The
roof, If shingled. should have not less
than one-third pitch. If roofing paper is
used, one-quarter pitch will answer. In
the front, or south wall there should be
placed two windows about foot from
the top and feet from the ends; 8 by
10 inches is a good-sized pane to use
in twelve-light sash, making the sash
about 8 by 9 inches high, and feet 5
inches wide. A door 21s by feet may
be made in one of the end walls, and
also a small door in the front wall, for
Amador ledger., 1906-04-06

plenty of exercise. No set rules can be
given for feeding, as conditions vary,
and there are different methods of feed
ing different breeds.
A good system to follow for winter
feeding is mash once day and grain
scattered in the litter twice a day. The
mash may be fed dry or slightly moist
ened. When the former, it is usually
put into trough or hopper hung
against the wall and the fowls allowed
access to it at all times.
The mash fed at the Maine Expert
ment Station is as follows, in the pro
portions indicated:
200 pounds wheat bran.
100 pounds corn meal.
100 pounds wheat middlings.
100 pounds linseed meal.
100 pounds gluten meal. So
100 pounds beef scrap.

LONGWORTH GUESSED WRONG.
Missed the Opportunity to Get Fam
Gus Horse Named After Him.

When a man becomes famous, all
the incidents of his past life are laid
bare. There is a great story going
around of how Nick Longworth came
near to attaining to fame some years
ago, in connection with horses.
The story runs" according to a
prominent horseman, that some years
ago H. M. Ziegler, of Cincinnati, the
noted owner of thoroughbreds, and an
intimate friend of Mr.. Longworth,
took the latter down to his Kentucky
thoroughbred farm to show him his
collection of fine yearlings.
'All of these yearlings were as yet
unnamed.
Longworth,' said Ziegler, as they
strolled about the stalls, you'd better
let me name one of these yearlings
after you. They're a swell bunch, and
almost all of them are well-nigh bound
to do something big in the world
"'I don't mind. was Longworth's
Amador ledger., 1906-04-06

Rightfully comes she by the title,
for according to statistics the Ameri-
can hen yields more money annually
than any other one farm product With
eggs as low as cent a piece-a very
cheap and nutritious food-a well
bred hen laying about two hundred
eggs a year has a value of So. An
estimate is made that 81 year will
keep her in comfortable if not luxuri-
Gus, quarters. The trouble is that
millions of barnyard scrubs do not
yield hundred eggs year.
According to Government authori-
ties the earning from the egg and
poultry industry amounts to about
$2S0,O00,000. Cotton, the king of crops
with value reaching up to $259, 9,0O0,-
900, is thus dethroned by the magnif-
cient earnings of the fowl
During 1905 the total value of all the
gold, silver, wool and sheep produced
in the United States was $272,OOO 600.
The wheat crop, considered the most
valuable of all agricultural products
had a value in the same period of
1929 100000. The great American
hog, consumed at home and abroad,
was valued at about $1S6,529,035. The
sugar production of the country was
only $20,000,000. The combined value
of the oat and potato crops was only
$160,000,000. The Industrious little
gallus domesticus produces enough
eggs to require train of refrigerator
cars 900 miles long filled with 43,0O0,-
900 crates, each of which holds 800
eggs. The value of the egg as food
product is equal to that of any food
stuff of it's size.

Extending the Weather Service

In order that the work of the
Weather Bureau may be of greatest
possible benefit to the people of the
United States, and especially to that
class which is dependent upon the
weather, Prof. Willis L. Moore, the
chief, has been making arrangements
by which such agriculturists as have
and want the service, may
obtain weather forecasts within a few
after the announcement of
advice as to the state of COM
ing weather. This is operating in New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan
and other states. Recently the Weather
Bureau made arrangements for an ex-
tension of this service in Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia
