Jackson. Miss, July S.-The resig.
nation of Hon. j. B. Stirling as referee
in bankruptcy for this district of the
United States court, in which office
he was succeeded yesterday by Hon.

on the streets here for several days
to the effect that he would probably be
an applicant for the seat on the SUI
pIeme bench now occupied by Judge S.
S. Calhoon, whose term expires May
10, 1909.
Mr.. Stirling himself declines to
either confirm or deny the rumor, or to

seriously considering the matter for
some time, and may become an apph

CROP CONDITIONS
ARE EXCELLENT

The local crop conditions are re-
ported to be very good. There has
been plenty of rain in nearly every
community, and it is feared in some
neighborhoods that there is liable to
be too much rain.
Reports from many sections of the
state are to the effect that Sundays
rains, while doing some damage by
washing in. many places, has been of
great benefit generally to the growing
crops, and especially to corn, which,
except as regards the late planting, is
regarded as now being safe from any
serious harm from drought.
The good weather which has pre-
vailed during the summer has enabled
most of the planters to keep their
crops well worked out, and in very few
instances has the grass had start
since early in the season, wien the
rains prevented the early working of
| the first planting of cotton.
With that exception and the further
exception that most of the precipita.
ton this season has been in hard rains
rather than in gentle showers the
weather conditions so far as the ap-
portionment of rain and sunshine is
concerned, have been almost ideal
and there has been a noticeable alb

Over Again.

Progressive chicken raising must

few years have offered wonderful inn
provements, but these have taken
place in fanciers' stock more largely
than On the farm. If winter egg pro-
ducing is to be the main object of the
farmer-poultryman, let him select one
of the heavy-laying breeds, such as
Minorca or Leghorn. Best of care

they will grow to maturity. They
should be kept free from vermin above
all things.

With very small expense, simply the

any farmer can make an improvement
in his poultry.

which turned out so we'll that l soon

the market, and proved to my own sat
isfaction that flock of pure-bred poul-
try was good side issue on my place.
| have improved my flock from time to
time till now l have chickens that are
admired by all who see them. 1 am
sure no farmer who ever once owns a
flock of pure-breds will go back to
mongrels. Beside being handsomer,
they lay more eggs and command a
ready market for fowls and eggs for
breeding purposes at a good price.
What is more beautiful than a flock of
pure-bred chickens on a green lawn?
All farmers should own at least a
small flock.

Wouldn't it be a blessing if more

topic of conversation? There is
nothing in the world more wearisome
than to be obliged to listen to ac-

very good people are so one sided,
that there is nothing to do but let
them enlarge on that one topic and es-
cape as soon as possible 1t is imposr

the children and sickness and house
work and garments occasionally, but
there should be little variety. With
books and music and the weather and
the news of the world and church do

and lectures to furnish topics for con-

to one thing. 1t takes courage to face

The Late Chicks.

Some of the best fowls on the farm
are from the late broods. We have
seen broods come out as late as Sep
TENDER and give birds that became
very valuable as layers. September
chicks of the Plymouth Rock breed
have begun TO lay in February. The
early broods are easily handled, but
there are some things in favor Of the
late chicks. One of these things is
the lack of insect pests, which seem
to be most vigorous and aggressive in
the spring. The late chicks should
