A smooth Field.

1t worries the good farmer to see
his neighbors blowing the fields round
and round the same way year after
year He knows that by-and-by there
will be deep burrows all over the farm,
and all the while these might be avoid
ed. How? Change the order of things
this spring by going out into the cen
ter of the field where the dead furrow
is and turning it full the first thing.
Then gee around instead of haw, as
is usually done, blowing back to the
place Of beginning. Keep this up to
the end and you will have no ditch in
the middle, but field that is nice and
smooth ard good to look upon. It may
be a little awkward turning round to
the right where one has always been
in the habit Of turning to the left, but
you viii soon get accustomed to it, and
so will the horses.

Hoke Smith Likes Chickens

Gov. Hoke Smith has gone in for
chicken raising on a large scale. He has
found the local market inadequate to
supply his appetite and has embarked
upon the industry in the hope of equaliz-
ing the supply and the demand.
The governor is stocking his farm near
Decatur with fowls from far and near
and of high and low degree. But still
the chickens don't come fast enough,
and on advice of George Tumlin, keeper
of public buildings, he has put in an
incubator.
Il am not raising enough chickens, =
said the governor. Il want several cv-
cry day. Why, | can eat six u day
two at each meal"
Mr. Tumlin was fairly startled. He
replied:

preacher could eat more than one"

the governor in surprise. Anybody in
the world can eat one chicken, especially
if it's broiled. No, sir, have got to
raise more chickens. "-Atlantl Disp ltch

It is true that as early as 1872 a
German investigator suggested that The
trouble was caused by a parasitic or
ganism, but later it was definitely de-
termined that the fungus, Sorosporium
scabies. which he had isolated, was not
invariably the caues of the trouble. It
was not until 1890 that Prof. Bolley
definitely determined that potato scab
was caused by a fungus parasite. IN
til resistant strains could be bred up
it was necessary that some temporary
preventive be applied, says Farm.
Stock and Home Treatment Of sea-
bies may be made by the use Of for
malin or corrosive sublimate (bichlo-
ride of mercury. The latter IS per-
haps the most effective but it should
be handled with the greatest caution,
az it is a very powerful poison when
taken internally. The solution Is pre-
pared by dissolving two ounces Of cor
rosive subIimate in two gallons Of hot
water. When the poison is well dis
solved, add twelve gallons Of water,
making fourteen gallons in all. The

clean. should be put il a gunny sack

Confinement of Fowls.

In the old days it was thought that
hens should not be confined to the least
extent, but people have come to think
differently nowadays. The poultry
books of a few years ago were full of
recommendation to give hens plenty
of room, advising ten or twelve square
feet of floor space per hen. There is
no doubt that ample space per hen is
beneficial to an appreciate extent, but
there are few commercial poultrymen
who find it necessary to devote so much
space as that. Experiments recently
conducted have shown that hen with
five square feet Of space, the latter
showing evidences of congestion and
inaction. AS it is less expensive to
build low henhouse than a higher one,
the former are more popular, and by
this means it is practical to give the
hens more room.

ELIMINATE THE INTER-RE,
PUBLIC MIDDLEMANI

The opportunity to profit by con-
tact with one another's ideas and
tastes would be vastly expanded by
closer business relations between the
American republics. II is now most
desired that we buy more from and
sell more TO each other that we es-
tablish tnstrumentalities OF direct
communication with each other; that
our financial transactions should be
conducted by and through our own
agencies, so that we may thus estab-
mutual interdependence which our
propinquity suggests and our perfect
and permanent development demands.
In formidable language Secretary
Knox has invited the other American
republics to turn sentiment into re-
suits. To eliminate the middleman.
As live business nations, to put a stop
to trading with each other by way of
Europe. To keep the profits at home
The result, he points out, will be
friecdship at work.
Trade is a tide. It sets. Then the
whole ocean has to come to a pause be-
fore it changes.
Half century of crossroads states
manship in America has allowed the
tide of Pan-American trade to turn to
Europe The route was always un-
natural. Every business center in the
Western Hemisphere looks intuitively
to the United States. Even English
cities like Kingston prefer drafts on
New York banks to drafts on London.
Yet the drafts are still drawn on Lon
don as they have been for FIVE genera
tions.
The Bureau of American Republics
can help turn the tide. The govern
ments of those republics can do still
more, under the bureaus leadership
But the hustling must be done by non
governmental agencies. Our chambers
of commerce and boards of trade nusi
do the hardest work It ought not l,t
difficult TO get their members to sec
the wisdom of the course urged by Sec.
retary Knox.
Eliminate the inter-republic middle
man.
