There is probably no phase Of farm
Industry more neglected than that
which has to do with supplying pas.
ture for cattle. They are fed in the
yards on dry hay when fresh grass
IS more, palatable, more digestible,
more nutritious and cheaper, the nee.
sssary fencing included, than hay.
Where lands are cheap it may pay
to use wild pasture; but pastures in
the wood lot, particularly where the
trees are thick, are only about half as
productive, and, consequently, only
half as efficient, as cultivated pastures.

Well, the answer is simple enough.
Billiards is merely corruption of the
good old English game Of bowls, which
was played on beautifully green
lawn. On rainy and winter days, how
ever, your English sportsman couldn't
enjoy his bowls, so some clever Johnny
conceived the scheme Of playing bowls
indoors on his limitation green lawn. 1t
was too much of a cinch, however,
playing this game with the hand in
such close quarters, so the cue was
introduced to put skill at premium.
That's why Billiard tables are green

with producing poor eggs, for their
owner is always at fault when the egg
is not standard in quality.
Cleanliness, good food, regular care.
with protection from weather and
natural enemies, cannot be too en-
phatically emphasized. Cleanliness
must be practiced in the hennery, lin
the yards, in the brooders and in the
feed. White diarrhoea may be- intro
duced by slight neglect to keep things
clean about the yards, drinking and
feeding utensils, etc. . When the dis.
ease is once present its ravages are
extremely fatal. -
Poultry should not be fed mouldy or
musty grain. Young chicks may first
be fed when thirty-six hours old. Hard
boiled eggs, which have been tested on
the seventh day of incubation and
found infertile, mixed with bread
crumbs, may be fed the first week sf
moistened with sweet skinned milk
and squeezed dry this food will be
greatly relished by young chicks, and
no harm will result If they are fed in
clean dishes. When chicks are a week
or ten days old these feeds may be
followed with finely cracked grains.
Rolled or pinhead oats may also be fed
at this time. Pure water and grit
should at all times be supplied In
abundance. Green food is important
and should be supplied, especially
nj ra
in confinement, by chopping mangles,
potatoes, clover, etc. A green sod
placed in the pen will be enjoyed by
the chickens. Exercise may be In
sured by the use of straw or chaff.:.
Never allow the young flocks to go
over feeding time without food. Bad
results are apt to follow. Keeping a
supply of food where it can be fed
literally five times day for the first
three or four weeks, and afterward
four times day, is practiced at the

HOME OF WATERMELON SEED.
ThreeFourths OF All Used Grown In
Jefferson County, Fla.

1t is fact perhaps not generally
known that Jefferson county. Fla.
just across the line from Georgia,
supplies rs per cent. of all the water
melon seed used in the United States.
Some years ago William Girar-
deau, Of Monticello. started raising
melons for seed but only on a small
scale, and as an experiment. So
successful was the venture found to
be, however, that it has grown to
large proportions and has become
source of much revenue to those
engaged in the business.
The Jefferson County Seed Com
pany is the name of the company now
supplying these seed to the trade.
and as an evidence of what the in
dustry has amounted to now is the
large brick warehouse which is lust
being completed in Monticello for
the use of the company. Acres of
Watermelons are planted by the com
pany every year and any one is al
lowed to eat them and as many as
they like, provided they save the
seed To say that the members of
the cOlored race take advantage of
this open invitation is useless.

avoid this trouble
How to Distinguish Disease in Fall.
The ordinary observer will see no
trace of red rot in the field in the
fall until his attention is called to
the red discOlOrations at the base Of
certain canes. Look closely at the
base of this discOloration on the leaf
sheaths and there may be found
shallow, sunken spots below the
joint that has shredded appear
ance, and a red color where the fun
gus has started to work into the
cane. All diseased canes should be
discarded.
The department of agriculture
recommends that the farmers select
for next years seed canes that show
no trace Of this disease A little ad-
ditional work will be required to
go through the fields and choose
these vigorous, healthy canes. but
the returns should make it worth the
while. The plant bed should be To-
Gated, if possible, where cane has not
been recently grown, in order to get
away from the soil infection. 1t is
also recommended on general princi-
pies that the cane be planted on land
not in cane last year. The seed Sc
lection is, however, more important
than the rotation.

MULE FAMINE is COMING
EAST AFRICA Is CALLING FOR
THEM IN LARGE NUMBERS.
There is a Plague Among Oxen Over
There and Wartime Prices
Arc Not Improbable.


Arc Not improbable.
NEW YORK.-'sWithin few
months there will be a demand for
American mules in South Africa al
most equal to that during the Boor
war" said Oliver G. Strait, of Gal
vestion.
Dealers in the south and west
! already are beginning to feel the
influence of the scarcity OF mules in
that part of Africa. 1t seems quite
probable. the prices of mules will
reach those of war time within the
coming year.
The growing demand is due to
| the coast fever among the cattle
in many parts of South Africa.
: Whole districts which are dependent
upon oxen for the transportation Of
necessities are suffering from the
| defamation of the cattle by the
fever. AS a consequence the peo-
pie want mules and want them badly
These animals are less susceptible
TO disease, and they can give much
more service than draught cattle
The trade of the Transkoi and
Griqualand East is almost at a
standstill on account of the loss OF
SO many oxen.
At present most of the mules for
South Africa are being shipped from
the Argentine Republic Those AMI
mails. however, do not compare with
the American mule, especially the
kind raised in Missouri. Our ami
mails bring a higher price, but, as
was the case during the Boer war
the additional investment is usually
regarded as justified.
Champ Clark would do well TO
lay in his supply of mules now
against the day when he expects to
ride down Pennsylvania avenue ac-
cording to his promise. If he waits
until he is elected speaker OF the
house, as undoubtedly he will De-

In that way alone it is hoped to
save the American variety But it
is admitted that there is little hope
of saving the forests, even those not
yet attacked. The effect already is
to reduce the price Of chestnut lum-
Der, which is used to a large extent
for electric poles and manufactures.
and to make fireWood cheaper in
some towns, but in the end it is
thought it will make the lumber al
most priceless.
This scourge and it's attendant
loss to humanity" said a botanist
connected with the New York botan-
ical park, should again draw atten-
ton to the danger we run from let
ting people kill our native birds. 1t
is very likely that some of the birds
that have been reduced almost to
extinction had the all important du-
ty of keeping this particular enemy
of the chestnut in subsection. and
that with the disappearance of the
birds the pest got the upper hand,
and now we pay for our careIessness
by losing the trees.

The United States Department of
Agriculture Has Undertaken a
Preventive Measure.

preventive Measure.
Prof W. A. Orion, pathologist in
charge Of cotton and truck diseases
and sugar plant Investigations, in
the department of agriculture at
Washington, has issued the following
article in regard to red rot" a
comparatively new disease that has
been destroying a large quantity Of
seed cane in the beds.
1t has been found that the losses
OF cane in the plant beds and the
poor stands resulting from the plant
ing of diseased canes during recent
years in South Georgia are due
to the ravage of a disease called
red rot, which is cOmparativey
new in this country but better known
in Hawaii and West Indies. Some
times difficulty has been experienced
in carrying seed cane through the
winter in good condition. 1t would
be apparently dead and the cane on
cutting would show reddish discOlO-
rattOns around the joints and in
the pith. Mr.. w 3. Roddenberry
brought this situation to the atten-
ton of the department Of agricUl-
ture at Washington, who found in
the diseased canes a fungus that was
identified as the red rot fungus.
Later search Showed that this existed
in louisiana. The situation is suf-
ficiently serious to warrant earnest
effort to reduce the injury, as it
cuts heavily in the profits Of the cane
grower to lose a considerable por-
ton Of his seed cane and to Guilt
yate field where 10 to Is per cent.
Of the stand is missing.

1t has been found already that the
first stages of the diseases can be
detected in the fall The seen canes
are thus infected when put away in
the fall and the conditions in the
beds during the warm days of winter
are ideal for encouraging it's spread
through the canes, and it is no won
der that the infected plants are in
bad condition in the spring, nor that
the red rot spreads before spring
to other canes that were healthy in
the fall. The department hopes to
conduct experiments to determine
the most practical remedy. At the
present time the farmers can draw
