Modern Farm Methods
AS Applied in the South.
Notes of Interest to Planter,
Fruit Grower and Stockman

growth of grasses for pasture or hay.
These lands are along creeks and
rivers and have not paid in cultivated
crops because of oyerfows or lack
of drainage They would, however,
produce good grass and save us from
buying forage or from sending to the
North for hay. Let us plan to utilize
them. We need the forage or graz
ing which they will produce.
Again, there are large areas of up
lands that have been turned out be-
cause of soil depletion. These lands
would yield a handsome profit on
their value and the expense of putting
them in condition for grazing cattle
and other live stock. Not only is this
SO, but in few years If the brush
and briers are kept down they will
be in condition to again yield protita-
BILE cultivated crops.

Bows FIGHT With an Owl.

Lee Barley, 16' years old, and a
hooded owl that was the largest ever
seen in this county fought battle
to the death this afternoon and the
boy won.
Armed with 20 calibre rife, Bart
ley and several companions return
ing from school sighted the huge owl
in a tree near his home. Taking aim,
he fired and down came the owl. The
lad picked up the supposedly dead
bird, which with lightning movement
sank its claws deep into Bartley's
shoulders. Covered with blood squirt
ingf in streams, the youth managed
to clutch the bird by the neck and at
tempted to strangle it, but the owl,
releasing it's razor edged claws,
slashed its combatant with terrible
effect. Finally the lad, weakened with
from loss of blood, hurled himself
postrate, crushing the bird into the
earth
AS the victor staggered away sew
eral pedestrians reached the scene
and he tainted in their arms. An eX,
animation showed that twenty-five
cuts, ranging from half an inch tc
two inches in length were inflicted
on the youths body.-Menominee cor

Southern Soils Examined.

DR.. A. j. Bonsteel, of the Bureau
of Soils, Department of Agriculture,
has just returned to Washington from
an extended tour of the South, which
was for the purpose Of investigating
the adaptability of different types of
soils for certain kinds of crops, espe-
cially winter and early spring vegeta-
bles. DR.. Bonsteel is enthusiastic
over the results of his trip and is pre-
pairing special report.
DR.. Bonsteel visited Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, and says he is
more enthusiastic than ever over the
possibilities for developing the UNI
used agricultural lands of the South,
not merely for the production of
staple crops with good average re-
turns per acre, but also with regard
to the development of special indus
tries where from the production of
fruits, nuts, garden vegetables and
tobacco the soils may be made to ag-
gregate from $500 to $4,000 per acre
under extensive forms of cultivation.
"In Alabama" said DR., Bonsteel,
"four soil survey parties are at pres
emit engaged and surveys are in pro-
gress in Tallapoosa, Coffee, Baldwin
and Hale Counties. The work in at
least three of these counties will be
completed in July or early in August,
and additional work will then be
taken up in the north-central portion
of the State. The soil surveys thus
far completed in the State of Alabama
have shown a wonderful diversity in
the soils and the surveys are laying
the foundation for an agricultural
development in the State which in
due time will be no less marked than
the industrial development of the coal
and iron fields in North-Central Ala.

Eutura of Aviation.

Very different are the views held
by prominent aviators as to what po-
sition the science Of mechanical fight
will have attained five years hence.
In the opinion of Captain Ferber.
who is one of the keenest pioneers
of aviation in France, the aeroplane
will at that time be able to carry
four or five people with ease, and
there will be a regular service of ma
chimes between Dover and Calais, as
well as between other ports where
the distance is not of great length.
Closed accommodation will be pro-
vided on board these machines, which
are to be of such size that their
use will he debarred where the
space is limited Other opinions are
much less hopeful as regards the COM
mercial side of the aeroplane's pos
sibilities, and, according to Mr.. Maui
rice Farman, the flying machine will
for a long time to come be reserved
for the use of the intrepid sports
men. The Comte de Castillon de
Saint-Victor likewise thinks that the
carrying capacity of the aeroplane will
always be limited, but its speed will
increase.-New York American.

Poultrx Notes and Comments.

A sitting room" for hens is quite
necessary. An open front to the
south, screened by one-inch poultry
wire, is best. II hens are peaceable
nest boxes may be placed around on
the ground, and when hen becomes
broody remove her at dusk to a nest;
gently place her on it with a, nest egg
under her, and ii she seems little

next evening. If she is contented sec
ond morning place eggs under her.

so it is we'll to select the chicks which
show sex earliest, and mark them for
breeders, then watch which of these
pullets begin to lay first, and which
Of the males begin to develop spurs
first. Note the best layers, as pull
let's, and the proudest, most active

To insure large quantities Of eggs
in fall and early winter raise large
crop OF pullets. 1t is only the early
Matched chicks it pays to market as
flyers, hence get breed of good
winter layers. Pullets Matched rea-
sonably early begin to lay long be-
fore the moulted hen, and keep it up
all winter. For this reason we pre-
fer our winter layers to be pullets
and our breeders yearling hens, and
breeders which become broody most
often are saved for the next year

ers should have laid out one litter of

a Pension Horse.

A faithful Government. servant has
been recognized and rewarded by
Ormsby McHarg, Assistant Secretary
of Commerce and Labor This SER
want is an old horse named Caleb,
which for twenty-four years has de-
voted his energies to pulling a wagon
belonging to the United Seates fish
commission at Green Bay, Me. Last
week, after serious attack of boils,
he showed his inability to serve the
government any further by lying in
his stall and refusing to be harness
ed
The officers at Green Fay, knowing
that the animals days of usefulness
were over, reported the fact to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
and asked for new horse, also ex-
pressing the intention of killing
Caleb. This report fell under the
eyes Of Secretary McHarg, and he
Immediately issued an order
that the faithful animal be plac-
ed in the pasture until he had \
natural death. This is one of the few
cases on record in which horse had
been placed on the Governments
pension rolls. Chicago Tribune.

TABLE D,HoTE ECONOMY.

chicapcan Escapes Part Of the TAX
on Those Who Care Not for Wine.
The man from Chicago, conveying
party Of five women relatives about
New York, dropped into a restaurant
for dinner. They wanted the table
d'hote dinner, which was advertised
at 81 with wine and S1.25 without
wine.
This variation in price didn't
please the man from Chicago. He
himself was on the water wagon and
he knew that none Of the women folk
wanted wine. Naturally he objected
to paying any $1.5O extra for a mega
tive quantity.
Then plan came to him to save
at least part of that $3.50. He called
fer the wine card and ordered the
cheapest bottle Of wine on it-a clar-
ct at 81. The waiter brought the
wine, opened it and was told he
needn't serve it.
The Chicago man saved 50scents on
the dinner and the waiter was in a
bottle of wine. There was some talk
of taking the wine away with them
but the walters longing look at il

Ashamed Of Gullies.

In going about among the farmers
it is gratifying to find an increasing
number who are ashamed of gullies
Ia gully always being public notice
that poor farmer has been handling
the land, On many farms we find the
rocks thrown into little dams in the
washes, and this will do much to stop
the land-waste; and a tenant on the
writer's home farm has won our APP
prevail by piling the corn stalks wher-
ever a wash has started This is a
vastly better plan of handling stalks
than burning them and wasting their
fertility. Professor Massey.

YHE PENeUiN's WINGS.


After New Feathers start Old Are
Retained as Protection Against Cold.
Ornithological puzzles are the PEN
gums, with their curiously shaped
wings and odd unbirdlike upright
carriages. The peculiarities OF their
wings suggest that the penguins are
descendants of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pur-
suit Of prey under water, and as the
struggle intensified between the COM
peting individuals the mast expert at
this sort of swimming would get the
most food and GUST their less success
ful rivals. The winners gained ac-
vantage over sheir neighbors in pro-
portion as their wings improved as
swimming organs, and inversely AMI
of necessity became less suited to
perform the work Of fight.
In all other birds the feathers
though shed annually are more or
ess gradually displaced; but in the
penguins the new feathers all start
into being at the same time ana
thrust out the old feathers upon their
tips, so that these come away in
great flakes. Whereas in all birds
save penguins the new feathers as
they thrust their way through the
skin end in pencil-like points, formed
by investing sheaths, in the penguins
these siheaths are open at the tips
and attached by their rims to the
roots of the old feathers, and hence
these are held to their successors. un-
til these have attained a sufficient
length to insure protection against
cold. q
This curious device for retaining
the warmth afforded by the old feath-
ers until the new generation can fill
their places is apparently due to the
fact that penguins are natives of mo
antarctic regions, although some now
inhabit the tropical eas.-'Chicago
Tribune.

Plant to Utillze the Idle LANDS.

Idle lands, like idle people, are
seldom benefited by their idleness.
At least, it is certain that land may
be improved faster by growing some
useful crop every year than by lying
idle, part, or all, of the time. More
over, we have thousands of acres that,
because of insufficient drainage or
lack OF fertility, are not yielding
profitable crops, and thousands of
other acres yielding ABSOLUTELY moth
ing. These lands represent an in
vestment and must pay taexs, there
fore by yielding nothing, they con-
sumo some of the profits Of the culti-
waited land.
This land should bring its owner
some Bevenue. That which will yield
fair profit in the growth of timber
should be given sufficient attention
and protection from fires to enable us
to profit on our investment. There
are thousands Of acres Of fertile land
that have been turned out and al
lowed I'd grow up to brush and weeds
that with little attention could be
made to produce good profits in tbs

Revival Of Old Fashion--Right Place

In the midst of so many present
Gay fashions copied from those Of
hundred years ago it is scarcely SUR
prising that the habit of using scent
in protusion should be numbered
How they saturated themselves
with sweet waters in those old. old
days! We read Of a very orgy of per-
fume in the time of Catherine de
Ned . and learn that the. men then
were - prone to its use in profusion
as We're the women.
One great king perfumed himself
with amber from lead to foot, and ev-
cry article of attire was scented.
The great Napoleon used foods Of
eau de cologne every morning, and
the Empress Josephine filed her
dressing room with musk IN all sorts
OF forms.
Today it is the scene fountain and
the vaporizer that are in great re-
quest With the yaporizer the lady's
maid scents her mistress before she
leaves her home in the morning and
after she has takeS the perfumed
bath.
The excessive use of sachets at
tached to the costume is becoming
less modish than it was; there must
only be an atmosphere, mere sug-
gestion of scent, instead of definite
aroma about the clothes. In order to
perfume them the wardrobe has its
long fiat sachet of scented powder to
fit each shelf
4. When the boots and shoes are put
away little sachets are introduced
into them; the lace and ribbon drawer
has its sachet also, and the only ones
that need be worn by day are sewn
into the corset and into the dainty
cap of muslin and lace in which the
belle takes her early cup of tea or
her basin of bread and milk the last
thing at night.
When the hair is washed it is
pleasant to use a scent that shall
help to perfume the tresses, per-
Missile way Of pertaining the person

taste.
The hairdressers of Paris are now
using EUCALYPTUS leaves STEPPED in
boiling water for the shampoo used
for their customers hair, and find
that 1t makes the hair glossy as well
as fragrant.
Every day seems to introduce new
