TWAS IN 'TATER TIME.
One Thing, at Least, the Mother Mas
Positive About.

The late Senator Platt of Connec-

tell a good many himself. Notwith-
standing his long public life, he al

ried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach
ers. in making a record of the ages
of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright. was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So in order to complete her records.
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked if she could remem-
Der just when her daughter was born,
the omar thought for some little
time, and then with a sort of puZ-

A Horses Good Fortune.

JUDGING FROM OWN CASE.
Deacon Recognizes the Wants Of a Fell
low Sufferer.

General Booth, the head of the Sal
walton Army, was discussing the anti
suicide bureaus that his church has
opened.
Kindness and charity" he said,
"are factors Of these bureaus. The
charity will be OF the right kind, I
trust. There are. you know. two
kinds of charity. and too much of it
is like the BARRIERS.
There was a poor deacon In War
wick who had no money and needed
to be shaved, and he went from barber
to barber, but none of them. despite
his holy Office, was willing to shave
him for nothing.
'In the end, though. he found a
barber who, on hearing his tale. said
grufly:
"Sit down there in that chair"
"And this barber shaved him. But
the razor he used! Dear me! It's dull
edge and the hicks In 1t! Under the
operation the tears flowed in rivulets
down the poor deacon's cheeks.

adjoining room set up a terrific howl.

Moultinq by Hand.

A writer in n of the poultry jour-
nails last year stated that he had tried
moulting hens by hand; that is, pluck
ing them as you do ducks and geese.
He stated the process was harmless to
the hens and caused them to get to
laying earlier in the fall that when ma.
ture did the moulting.
This suggestion opens a new field
for thought and experiment. 1t re.
mains for some one to learn just how
to proceed-how to feed previous to
the plucking and when the work can
best be done.
Instead of having feathers strewn
all over the farm they are saved. In.
stead Of having the shedding take four
to six weeks of time, the work is done
all at once, anC the new crop of feath-
ers starts. 1t seems as though this
may be more than a novel thing. 1t
may have value to the poultry men
who want their birds to shed early.
We suggest that some experiment
station take this up and sec if it has
value.-Successful Farming.

Why ADVERTISING Paws.

"You will be pressed for money
oftener because you have no adyertis-
ing bills to pay than because you
have" observes the Buffalo News.
big advertising bills and big bank
balances grow, together, out of the
same publicity campaigns" The mer-
chant who holds down his expense &C.
count by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would if they should stop buying coal
for their locomotives. Without coal
the wheels won't turn; without pub
licity trade comes to a %standstill. 1t
pays to throw silver out of the window
that gold may come in at the door.

her be a better girl. Here is the

The farmers Poultry.

1t is doubtful if there is another
living creature on the average farm
that is 81 frequently or SO badly neg
lected as the hen.
For instance, the horses and cattle
are stalled and bedded, the selfish hog
will have comfortable quarters, good
feed and management or set up a
squeal about it, while the sheep also
have their fold.
But the helpless chicken is left to
find what rail or tree or wagon tongue
she cam. and make this her 'shome,
sweet home"
OF course the returns come from
each branch in proportion to the
amount invested, and SO under the
conditions outlined above it is inevita-
BILE that the poultry pay the least re-
turns.
And the farmer says ''hens don't
pay nohow," provides larger and bet
ter quarters for his other live stock
another year and neglects the hens a
little bit worse than ever.

STOCK FEED IN GEORGIA.
cowpeas in the Field Can Be Saved
to Great Advantage.

Despite the fact that a large corr
crop is being made Ia Georgia, there
will be a scarcity of feed In nearly all
lines. | have learned from the inside
that high prices a be expected for
cottonseed products. This is due to
the fact that the food Is becoming rec.
ognized as one of the leading dairy
foods of the country and it has a value
higher than has been given it.
There never was a period in the his.
tory of the western grain men when
oats were bringing such prices as
they are now selling for in the grain
fields. Corn is higher than it usually
is at this season of the year, and the
demand is stronger than at the height
OF the season. The hay crop is bring
ing springtime prices and everything
points to a eason of high price for
all stuff needed on the farm next sea-
son.
From these facts it is an easy mat
ter to figure out that there will be but
little profit for the cotton farmer, even

fails to grow things needed at home.
AT this eason of the year there are
numberless opportunities open for the
average farmer to save a lot more
feed than usual if some extra care is
taken in the work.
The cowpeas in the cornfield can be
saved to great advantage and easily
stacked away so that they will be good
food during the early part of winter.
By this method the main food crop
can be saved until late in the season.
There is nothing that will give better
results in saving the regular food sup.
ply than the hay crop, which is usually
allowed to go to waste.
The mixed foods which have gained
such popularity in the state will here
after have to conform to the pure food
laws of Georgia and an inspection tar
will have to be paid. While this will
be regarded in a sense as expensive.
still it will be of much benefit to the
farmer ana consumer, as they will be
protected fully against buying worth
less stuff, which, no doubt, has often
been sold as high-grade feed.
The winter grazing crop is also one
of the greatest things to have around
the average farm. Through the
patches that can be put in the out-of4
the way places stock can be kept in
good condition at little cost and the
cover crop will be very beneficial to
the soil. The early spring feed crops,
meaning those which can be used
early in spring, no matter when plant,
ed, are the most valuable of all crops.
OF these there is nothing to beat a
good oat, planted on well prepared
land. The best rule to follow now is
to break the land thoroughly and then
lay off the land as though for plant
ing corn, only have the burrows very
close together, say every eight inches.
or almost joining. Sow the seed
broadcast and harrow in. running the
harrow in, running the harrow cross
ways the burrows. If this is done the
danger from winter killing is refuced
to a minimum and the crop grows very
much better.-J. c. McAuliffe, in
Southern Cultivator.
