South OF the Virginia line and on to
the Gulf in the Atlantic States Of
this country can be found about the
same climate as is prevalent along
the Pacific coast south from San Fran
cisco. The State Of California, the
people of California and the agricul-
tural interests of California began a
number Of years ago a determined ef-
fort to colonize that section of the
world with poultry growers. No
stone was left unturned to make this
effort successful; the railroads, the
state statisticians, the agricultural
department and the people kept Il

afoat, until California has become one
of the largest poultry producing
states of the country, and San Fran
cisco and the Pacific Coast are being
supplied with the finest quality of
fresh-laid eggs and poultry Of all kinds
produced at home-a supply which
formerly came from east OF the Rocky
Mountains.
We note this for the benefit OF the
states lying south Of the above men,

building of the poultry interest, of the
growing of all kinds Of land and water
fowl for market and the producing of
fresh-laid eggs in winter, it would not
be many years before the fields of the
South would bloom again as in the
olden days when cotton was king, and
when the planter Of these districts
rolled in wealth enjoying the distin-
guished attitude of being enVied by
all mankind.
The modus operandi to be pursued
in connection with the poultry in
dustry is extremely simple, and the
AAOAN
generally carried out. 1t appears,
however, to need the energetic work
nf one or two men in each community
TO demonstrate to the surrounding
farmers the advantage and profit in
employing up-tO-date methods. The
barnyard flock can within a short
time and at a very small expense, be
bred ND from an average of 60 or Is
eggs q year to a production of 125 or
$50 eggs per hen, constituting the diff
ference between a loss and hand
some profit from the flock. All it is
necessary to do is to decide upon some
euitable breed Of fowl and infuse new
blood into the flock each year by the i'm
portation of a reasonably well-bred cock
By this means not only can egg produc-
ton be increased but, if a general purpose
breed is selected, a great average in
crease in the weight of the fowls Will
be absolutely assured.
In connection with this, nothing
could be more profitable to handle
than the growing Of fruits and market
stuff throughout the entire South.
Two other features of great value
might easily be added; that is, culti-
waiting squads for market and keep.
ing bees for the production Of honey
and bees-wax. In the local market,
bees-wax sells now for almost 40
cents a pound. In the southern or
warmer climates where winter feeding
would not be Of long duration, the
cultivation Of bees for bees-wax alone
would become a profitable vocation,
even if the extracted loney were dis.

ers of the bees. But the bees must
be compelled to build their OWL
honey-combs, to facilitate which. as
well as to have a larger product OF
bees-wax, the boxes for receiving the
honey should be so constructed as tc
influence the formation Of large
amount Of honey-comb or bees-wax IL
preference to honey.
If these matters were earnestly
taken hold Of by the agricultural de
partments in every Southern State

Keep the Animals Warm.

"HOw do you manage to always
keep cattle looking so sleek and fine,"
was asked of successful stock raiser.
'Why, keep them comfortable" I"
he replied, from the day they are
born until I sell them."
And this is to a great extent the
secret Of success in sto6 growing.
The best farmers are the best stock
raisers; and this is a b'anch Of farm
ing that always wins il the long run.
If you can raise all he rough feed
and grain that your stock need, do
so, by all means, but 6n't neglect the
stock to do this. Better buy Of some
less fortunate neighboI who has more
feed than stock. There are other
things beside feed, DO. Have you
seen cattle and hors6 bumped and
shivering, day after dy, through the
worst part of the winter? Do you
think that those animals were COM
Portable? Picture youEelf in that con-
dition and imagine how you would like
it! 1t is difficult to SET how some men
can crawl into warn bed at night
and sleep soundly until morning,
while their live stock sand half frozen
and perhaps haIf-fed all night. Such
a mans feelings mus be pretty well
blunted. 1t doesn't py in dollars and
cents, either. Now, it doesn't cost
much to fix up a comfortable shelter
for stock, when old hay and straw
can be had almost for nothing. When
a man lets his stock suffer from the
cold, it is a clear caseof shiftlessness.
But every year there are fewer and
fewer of the shiftles: class.

Words Derived From the Human Body

By Edward G. Holden

THE human body its limbs, fingers, toes,
l. mouth, nose, ears, head and some of the
internal organs, have originated hundreds of
words. In one of the large dictionaries more
than four hundred are found related to the
hand alone and almost as many to the head.
Index, indicate, predicate, from a Greek
word for finger, mean that which points out.
So oracle and orator refer to what comes out
of the mouth. Audience, audible, ausculta-
ton. the auditing of accounts, originally after
hearing" of the officials, are traceable to
the ear" Spirit means the breath, and is
also found in conspire, to breathe together !;
inspire, to breathe in >" and even in perSpire,
to breathe through" impairment is some
thing against the foot. Eli, the cloth meas
ure, is the length of the forearm, the hair, in
capillary attraction, means the power exerted
through the capillary or hair-like tubes.
The heart (cordfs) is to be observed in a
cordial or heartening, drink; cordial, or
hearty, manner; the core of an apple. Dents
in wood or metal get their name from their
resemblance to tooth-marks. The tongue
sticks out in several words-like language

Corporal punishment is bodily punishment;
capital punishment is punishment by decapi-
tating or taking off, the head. A corporal

that is, the head of a body of foot-soldiers.
colonel is one who has been crowned. The
commander-in-chief or head commander
compels the chieftains or headmen of the
enemy, to capitulate, that is, surrender &C
cording to an agreement that is divided into
capitulas or little heads, or chapters.
A heady and headstrong ruler sometimes
makes people wish he was headless. To make
Roadway against his foes, he may have to rush
headlong into difficulties, take a header
into the unknown sea of politics. Among
some peoples one with the big head is likely
to lose it. Under some, the headship of the
ship of state does not make Roadway against
the headwinds of events, or around the cape"
or headland just ahead. He may plunge into
trouble over head and ears, and his opponents
have to put their heads together to head him

The following Is an illustration:
Mr.. John Deegan, our friend OF the
Good, Hart construction force, at
work on the Raleigh and Pamilico
Sound Railroad, when he first came
TO town, was asking US about the
place and railroad building and inci-
dentally the subject OF tramps came
up. We informed him that our .own
was kept clear of tramps by Il Wis

them to the roads, when they came 10

Mr.. Deegan has a friend, a rewspa-

This town has introduced a new
form Of sport tramp racing. When
a hobo hits the town he is arrested
and incarcerated in the lookup. When
several have been accumulated the
whole lot is marched out into the
public square. Across this Il line is
drawn and the traps are told TO line
up. Hardly has the ragged line been
formed when the town marshal con-

breaks and off goes the hobOes. The
marshal and his assistants leap upon
their waiting horses and are off after
the flying tramps catching uD with
