All coffee drinkers should be familiar
with the history and merits of chicory.
AS salt is necessary for soup, SO coffee
is incomplete without proper proper

that gives coffee that rich flavor and fra

Americans, thanks to foreign-b born resi-
dents, now appreciate the merits of chic
DRY. The United States Government has
interested itself in the root and recently
issued bulletin on the use and growth
of chcory. (See Bulletin 10, U. S. De-

food product as coffee and requires the

Poultry Points.

Texas Farmer:
1t is the hen with the appetite that
fills the basket.
The method of killing chickens by
sticking in the roof of the mouth so
as to pierce the brain is growing in
favor.
The Journal of Jamaica Agricultural
Society recommends ripe bananas as
good morning ration for fowls.
Strange that many people who have
never launched even a small hen coop,
are waiting for a large ship to come
in.
A large amount of poultry is con-
sumed by the Orthodox Jews who will
not use meat of any kind unless it
is killed by certain method under
the direction of the rabbi. Each large
market has its slaughter house where
is not so disastrous.
It is the early Matched pullet that
makes the early layer for next winter
The more hens set early the more
winter layers there will be, if the
right kind, and if the chicks have the
right care.
A farmer can add very much to
his fiock's value, even when a mixed
variety, by buying a good rooster. The
cock should be of the same variety
as the largest number of hens. The
poorest hens may be weeded out when
through laying.
It is not enough to do things. We
must know why we do them. Then
we know whether to keep on with
the same method or change.
There is no danger in keeping the
poultry house too clean and sweet

FARMER AND
PLANTER
WE'LL KEEP THE LITTLE FARM.


Well, Jane, l guess We'll keep the
place,
We've lived here, you and I,
Upon this little farm SO long,
Let's stay here till we die.
You know thought I'd sell it once,
To Jones, or Deacon Brown,
And take the money we had saved
And buy house in town.
But when the buds begin to swell,
And grass begins to grow,
Somehow it doesn't seem to me
1 ought to let it go.
I love the crimson clover,
And the fields of waving corn;
The quiet, balmy evening
And the fragrant, dewy morn;
The pink and snowy blossoms
Hanging on the apple trees;
The chirping of the crickets,
And the humming of the bees,
love the summers honey breath,
The blushing buds of May;
The teeming autumn, rich with fruit
The scent of new-mown hay;
The noisy babble of the brook,
And laughter of the rill;
The lowing herds upon the heath,
And flocks upon the hill.
And when think of leaving ALL
1t fills me with alarm;
SO, after all, guess it's best
To keep the little farm.

Horse Talk.

Texas Farmer:
1t is not bad idea to let horses
know that whip is on hand, but its
frequent use is undesirable.
A few years ago we were told that
the bicycle and the electric car would
reduce the price of horses, but it was
wrong. Later we have been told that
the automobile would reduce their
price, but none of US have been able
to notice the reduction. Good horses
will always be in demand.

DAIRYING IN TEXAS.
An Industry Depending On Men, Not
Locality


Mr.. John NJ. White, of Whitestown,
Miss, who has recently been visiting
around Alvin, writes as follows on
The above subject:
There l found the people who had
been stopped by the boil weevil from
raising cotton, taking up milk COWS,
and making a success with them. |
found some people milking as few as
-four cows, setting the milk in the old
fashioned way, getting the cream, and
sending it to their cooperative cream
cry, who said it paid while most of
the dairymen had from 10 to so
head of COWS and were using cream
separators. talked with a good many
they were getting from S. TO Sc per
month clear from each of their cows.
/ was at one mans place, who was
milking SO cows, who told me he
was drawing $3.50 per month from the
creamery. This impressed me as be-
ing pretty good business, as / saw him
and his family doing all the work

than we have here That is not so, as
lots of theirScows have been bought
from us and they had to take what
they could get. AS for grass, ours is
the better, since we have the clovers
here in abundance, while most of the
grass there is broom sedge. l could
not see that they had an advantage
of US in any way, except that the peo-
pie had found good thing and were
working it.for what they could get
of it, and are willing to do the work
themselves.
If our small two-horse farmers will
take UP dairying here in the South,
they can do better for themselves,
something more than making cotton
and making their farms poorer each
year. The COW will supply the only
cheap and lasting fertilizer that can
be had l do not think farm is COM
plete or deserves the name of farm
that does not have a dairy on it.
will say have always kept few
cows that have MIXED with more or
less profit, the profit being in proper
tior to the amount of work and care
haze put into the business. l have
always had other business to attend
to, so could not give my dairy my per-
sonal attention, and have not made
the success l should with it. l have
always found that when l would feed
and milk my cows myself there was
no doubt about the profit, and l had
money all the year round and at times
when l could not get money from any
other source. Dairy products are sell
ing high, and have been for three
years past, and good money is to be
had from the dairy for all time to
come, as lands in the northern states
have reached value of from $50 to
$3.50 per acre, and can not be used
for dairy purposes unless the dairy
men get a good return for their pro-
duct.
I will say l know what the lands
are in the North, that sell for ten
times what ours will bring; and know
l can get plenty of land here in East
Mississippi that will produce as much
grass per acre and make better dairy
farms.

kafirs Crave Real Clothing.

Maj,r Baldwin, the British Consular
representative at the port of Lorenzo
MARQUEE, says the native Africans are
rapidly becoming more up to date In
their tastes for modern clothing and
finery. There are no accurate Stats
tics of the native population" he says.
"but 1t is reasonable to suppose that
it is increasing and to infer that the
annual sum available for the purchase
of cloth, cutlery clothing, foreign
foodstuffs and other articles OF the
Kaffir trade will not diminish 1t must
however. be remembered that the an
nual exodus and return OF natives to
and from the Transvaal is having con-
siderable effect upon their tastes gen.
orally. and a steady decrease in their
demands for beads. blankets and 9TH
err articles manufactured solely for
that market may be expected" On
the other hand, however, Major Bald
win thinks a corresponding increase
may be looked for In the demand for
improved substitutes for these arti-
cles. especially in the way Of ready
made clothing. jerseys. caps. books
and cheap finery generally.

but do not overlook the lowly peanut.
1t will fill the pork barrel cheaply.
Do not waste feed by giving 1t to
stock that have wet, uncomfortable
sleeping quarters. Less feed and more
comfort would be better.
Without good seed there cannot be
a good stand of corn, and no one can
tell whether he has good seed If he
does not test it before it is planted.
In setting our fruit or shade trees,
do not treat them as II they were
weeds. Prepare the land for them as
thoroughly as for any valuable crop.
The bank swallows are one of the
best kinds Of birds that exist, from the
farmers viewpoint. Thoughtless boys
should not be allowed to modest them.
Serum horses or scrub mules can
not do good breaking, unless good
number of them are to pull one plow.
Good work stock well fed go far to-
ward making good harvest.
Are you making friends with the
birds and getting them to help you
keep down insect pests, or are you
fighting them away? They will be
your friends IL you let them.

Rye as a Green crop.

While nitrogen Is the fertilizing ele-
ment most easily lost from manures
and soils, 1t Is the most expensive,
costing almost three times as much
per pound as potash and phosperic
acid. The readiness with which nit
rates are washed out of the soil dur
ing heavy rains when the ground Is
thawed, suggests that during the per-
iod Of such rains, 1t should be cover
ed with some such catch crop, which
will feed upon the nitrates formed and
store nitrogen In its tissues. For this
purpose rye IS an excellent crop and
Is much used in many sections. While
1t adds no nitrogen to the soil, which
Is not already found therein, as GRIM
son clover does, 1t is a much surer
catch than the former and is thorough
iy hardy. 1t forms quite a root sys-
tenn during the fall. starts OF early
in the spring and by ordinary planting
time forms a heavy coat of manure to
be plowed under. One Office which
rye performs Is to absorb great guam
titles of moisture In the early spring.
so that when it is turned down in the
furrow 1t carries with it tons of water
per acre and holds 1t in such shape
that 1t will not be readily evaporated.

laws, Is one cause OF enfeebled vital.
ity and insufficient development, as
well as serious disappointment in the
number and vigor of the young things
that come on the farm.
Farmers who have their eyes open
and know the value of flesh-formers
are often paying large amounts of
money for this class of food which
can usually be produced on the farm
as well as not. The main flesh-form-
ing foods are the clovers, alfalfa, COW
peas, soy beans and canada peas. Oats
as a single food approaches nearer a
balanced ration for young stock than
any other single feed, with barley a
close second. What the farmers need
to grow is some of the fiesh-formers
above mentioned with which to bal
ance up his corn and not have to buy
bran, shorts, oil meal, or cottonseed
meal, to get the full value of his cheap
fat-formers.
The particular variety of the above
that the farmer should grow will de-
pend of course, on his location. Where
the clovers can be grown successfully
they should be staple crop on every
farm where any young stock is grown.
Many farmers do not really know the
value of clover when 1t is cut and
properly cured, they would learn a
surprising lesson II they would this
year for the first time in their lives
perhaps. cut and cure clover hay at
value in the food lot with the clover
hay they have been cutting for years
past after the proper time and cured
in such a way to lose one-half or more
of its value.
Where clover can not be grown
something else must be substituted.
Where alfalfa can be grown, 1t Is
just as good; in fact as food alone It
is better than clover. Where Meth
er clover nor alfalfa can be grown
and soy beans can, this is the crop to
grow either as a grain or forage as
a balance for the cheap carbohydrates.
South of the clover belt cowpeas will
answer the purpose as web or even
better than the soy beans, and north
of the clover belt a mixture of oats
and canada peas will answer the same
purpose.-R. B. Rushing. in the Ind

on rough hill land, where little but
grass can be grown, and that there is

as sheep and none that will increase
so rapidly In numbers and yalue.
Neither is there any that may be hous-
ed satisfactorily at so small an out.
lay for buildings and none that will
so surely and quickly subdue rough
land by browsing bushes, sprouts or
weed growths. The old and often
quoted saying, The sheep hath a
golden hoof," may prove literally true
to the man who owns rough farm:
too rough for the economical keeping
of most other kinds of live stock: for
while the flock will be utilizing weeds
and bushes in making wool and NUT
ton, they will at the same time be re-
claiming the land. making it more fer
tile and of greater value. AS weeds
and bushy undergrowths are destroy
ed by the sheep. grasses naturally
take their place, and through methods
of this kind rough lands lying idle
or paying an Insignificant income
may be made source of present prof.
