thoroughbred Industry.

Every farmers wife ought to raise
thoroughbred poultry. Within the
last two years have gotten togeth.
er and raised large flock of buff
Orpington chickens. The buff Or.
pintou originated in the yards OF
VIM. Cook g. Sons, of England. and
it is a cross between the buff Coch-
in, light Brahma and the Hamburg.
They have the beautiful color of the
buff Cochin, the full round form of
Brahma, the clean legs of the Ham
burgs and the laying qualities of all
three breeds.
Since Christmas have sold eggs
at current prices for enough to
more than cover all the expense of
the whole flock, besides selling two
pairs at Hickman. one pair IN Mem
phis, one-half dozen chickens in
Union City, and eggs to set. now
have four fine roosters, purchased
from noted yards. ] have raised
the black turkeys for several years;
have sold most of them right here
at home to turkey raisers; sent
pair to the fair at Nashville in Oc-
tober; sold seven near Nashville
shortly after that.
i had an advertisement for eggs
in the Southern Agriculturlst last
spring; shipped eggs to different
parts of the State-to Kentucky,
Arkansas, Alabama; get more or
ders than l would like to fill.
Last spring l got pair OF Emb-
den geese; last week put an adyer-
tisement in The Commercial to sell
sell goose eggs; got two orders oy-
er the telephone immedi a t e | y,
which is very remarkable, consid-
ering the splendid CD condition OF
the roads.
While the poultry have free range
on the farm | never feed at all;
when confined in seperate yards
feeding is necessary. Have never
given anything in the way of pre-
pared foods or medicines; always
have plenty grist, gravel, coarse
sand and cinders and fresh water.

The Cities Against Home.

The farmer has seen many
changes in the manner Of the con,
trolling and the conducting of bus.
mess in the past few years. From
the tiller of the soil being able tc
control the market of grain, thai
power has slipped from him until
it is manipulated by the grain OPP
orators of large cities. He is un-
certain as to whether he will re-
ceive adequate compensation for
his efforts. The latest effort IN
the concentration Of business in
the cities is to take from the farm
er and residents of smaller towns
their opportunity to buy their ne
cessities at home and require them
to send their money to cities. Per-
haps the strongest factor in the
destruction of home markets is
concerns known as catalogue hous-
es. Their aim is to, if possible,
drive the retail merchants located
in the towns of all States out of
business. The home merchant has
repeatedly complained to his pa
irons and asked them that instead
of sending their money abroad for
what they need to give him the OPP
portunity Of filing their orders
and has offered to do SO at prices
as low or lower for the same quail
lty of goods as that offered by the
catalogue houses.
Our members of Congress have
been aware of such conditions
and every one of them are bitterly
opposed to any change in our pos
tai laws, which would giveithe cat
aioge houses stronger hold on
the trade of the country. These
Congressman are not narrow mind
ed men, but have been drilled in
the relentless mill of years of expe-
rience. One of the Iowa Congress
men has made the remark that he
is opposed to the encroachment Of
the catalogue house on the home
merchant for the good reason that
10 the sending of money to an un-
seen and unknown merchant, gives
that merchant an opportunity to
practice INSCRIPTIONS tactics upon
the unsuspectlng customer.
As we have said in the beginning
of this article it is the object of the
promoters Of the catalogue house
to drive the home merchant out

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect Of the First Warning Symp-
toms is the Prime Cause Of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Brlght's Disease.
mis- Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu-
fion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are of Indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is tc apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appeayance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters Of small moment in the estima-
fion of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment Of one dollar in bottle OF
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
YET in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in Doctors bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. 1t is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as last
resort, in cases that defed their bess
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many social, 1 kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu-
rnerable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure IN red OH the front label.

OF business and if they succeed il
doing so, it means the running Of
our beautiful and home like towns.
When you have depleted the home
town you have done much toward
depreciating the value of the farm
lands. So this is a question that
not only is of vital interest to the
retail merchant, but it is of Just as
much interest to the citizens OF
our towns and to the farmers. 1t
would certainly be a deplorable
condition if we were obliged to
send away for the most of what
we need because our home mer-
chants have been driven out of
business by the catalogue houses.
These concerns must pay for
their goods just the same as the
merchants at home, and someone
must pay the millions of dollars
they spend every year in advertis-
ing their business. On top of
this expense is the thousands upon
thousands of dollars they pay ev
cry month for rent of the build.
ings they occupy, besides the adj
ditional expense of an army of
clerks. The home merchant is
not called upon to meet any of
these expenses.
1t seems the most OF, us should
have inbred pride enough to
prompt us to trade at home.

THE END OF powIE.

|
Dowie brought to an end a pictur-
esque career, if not an illustrious
one. His conception of himself as
the second Elijah was daring, his
commercial and so-called religious
activities were spectacular, his
power as a leader of men was ex
traordinary. Faker t hough he
was, he was no mediocrity. No
commonplace person could have
drawn to himself such multitude
as Dowie succeeded in assembling
about him nor establishing such a
city as the Zion Dowie built. He
was paradox. He was a genius
as charlatan, but a failure as a
man.
The misfortunes that overlook
Dowie during the last year or two
of his life we're not to be wondered
at. A man who poses as divinity
has to live according to a divine
standard. That standard is too
exalted for any man. 1t was too
exalted for Dowie. Mis- mortality
would assert itself, and so his fol-
lowers, little by little, began to
understand that their prophet was
not the inspired oracle they bad
been induced to believe in, but
Just the same flesh and blood, with
the same temptations and weak
nesses as themselves. 1t was al
comparatively simple matter for
Voliva to depose him at last and
make him an outcast In the city
he had created and which he had
ruled.
Recently Voliva's downfall came,
and with it returned some of the
old sentiment and allegiance for
the founder of the sect. The de- /
posed Dowie became a martyr in
the eyes of some of those who had
participated in his undoing. But
the reaction came too late and
Dowie died, a wrecked prophet in
a wrecked city.
There have been many religious
takers in the history Of the world.
Religion of some sort is so instinc-
tive and superstition is so sensi-
tive to adroit charlatans that the
field is usually fertile one. Dowie
was one of the most unique and
most successful of the later ones.
Now that be is dead it is most prob
able that his sect will soon pass
away and before long will be for
gotten. His end may start new
wave of enthusiasm among bis
luondam wors hippers, but the
wave is apt to be a final, dying
wave one that cannot last because
Of the absence of leader to crys-
taIlize and perpetuate it. Above
al, because the man who gave the
vitality and whose antics
we're its existence, is gone forever.
