ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Tomorrow, all over this broad land
the people will observe the birthday
of one of the grandest men this
country ever produced, the martyr
president. Abraham Lincoln. Spring
ing as he did from an environment Of
ignorance and poverty, he, by his
mate worth as a man and citizen,
rose to the highest position in the
nation, and at time, when men of
moral stamina and worth were needed
in civil and political life. In all time
to come he will be known as the
Great American, who influenced by
love and an abiding faith in the in
finite, did his duty fearlessly and
achieved greatness by being honest,
truthful and loyal to principle.
IT'S not the charm that beauty filings
DER men,
Nor grand physique, nor grace Of manly
mein,
Nor yet alone, the words prophetic from
his pen.
But something indefinable, unseen
To mortal sense, that wins a nations
gaze,
And stirs world to generous thought of
praise.
Not Lincoln, but the principle he
loved
And lived, regarding naught Of friends
or foes,
But by the Spirits liberty ere moved,
Was loves own instrument, TO heal their
woes.
By one grand stroke, moved by the i'm
pulse deep,
He aroused blind sense from out It's
soulless sleep.
To grasp its freedom, hitherto unknown
He paved the way for weary mortal
sense,
Sinsick from fruitless reaping of its
And dwelling long, in hopeless darkness
dense,
To know its right of birth, and rise tt
grander height,
The glorious liberty of the sons of light

CAUGHT THE MOOD.
The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere.'

tbs MiSerere.
Men Of genius are confessedly crea-
lures Of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been a real help to them
rather than a hindrance. Poe, 1t is
said, produced 1.-THE Raven" while sit
ting at the bedside of his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote Of
Verdi, told by Carlo Ceccarelli, will
suffice.
On one occasion when Verdi was en-
Trovatore," he stopped short at the
passage Of the ''Miserere," being at a
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness and pathos to express the grief
Of the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano In the deep still
ness Of the winter night, his magma
ton wandered back to the stormy days
Of his youth, endeavoring to extract

those which escaped from his breast
when he saw himself forsaken by the
world. All in vain!
One day at Milan he was une1pect-
eddy called to the bedside Of a dying
friend, one Of the few who had re-
manned faithful to him in adversely
and prosperity. Verdi at the sight Of
his dying friend felt lump rise in his
throat. He wanted to weep, but SO In
tense was his grief that not tear
flowed to the relief Of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood a piano.
Verdi, under one Of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men Of genius are
sometimes subject, sat down at the in
strument and there and then impro-
vised the sublime "Miserere" Of the
"Trovatore" The musician had given
utterance to his grief

Notes on Turkey Raising.

Messrs Editors: The turkeys to-
raise from should be on the yard BY
this time, in order to get accustomed
to their surroundings. 1t is best to
get stock in the fall, as the flock is
larger to select from and the price
is not SO high. If this has not been
done, it will pay better to buy eggs
for the next season.
shall not use barrels for nests
next spring. as my hens did not like
them last year. l am going to try
tent-shaped coops that can be used
for roosting in, after the hatch is
over. The coop should be moved
often as cleanliness is necessary to
the welfare of the poults.
COops should be kept under sheds
in wet weather. If the runs get
damp. cover with dry hay or straw
to keep the little ones dry and
warm while taking the exercise they
require.
Do not keep food and water In
coops. Let them eat and drink ana
remove. Dust hen often when con-
fined and look after the little ones,
too. Provide dust bath at al
times.
Bread crumbs, biscuit, boiled rice
and eggs make an ideal food LOT
young turkeys. Moisten with MIX
and sprinkle with black pepper on
cool mornings. Charcoal put In leed
occasionally is a help to keep on
bowel trouble.

against mixing his breeds, but the
beginner and the careless man, often
sell eggs for Matching which are not
from pure matings, owing to this
cause. For this reason also it is
generally wise not to keep more than
one breed on the place unless con-
siderable care is taken to properly
restrict the breeding stock We have
had many complaints of dissatisfac-
ton with eggs purchased for hatch
ing, that probably resulted from
carelessness along this line.
We believe the usual advice is to
keep the breeds separated for not

HOW TO GRADE UP THE FLOCK.
If You Think You Can Not Afford
Pure-Breds, You Can at Least
Grade Up Your Common Stock.

Pure-Breds, You Can at Least
Grade Up Your Common Stock.
Messrs Editors: More and bet
ter poultry" has long been the slo-
gan of poultry fanciers, but to-day
it should be the cry Of every house
wife and young lady in the South
who has a small plot of ground that
could be devoted to poultry.
The general impression seems to
be, If one has a few barnyard fowls
left to run at large and find their
own feed, and roost in the trees or
any old clubhouse, that is all that
is necessary. Can you expect to
produce long staple cotton from COM
mon seed, or good horse, COW, or
pig from scrub parent stock? You
will say that is impossible, well, it
is just the same with poultry.
But I hear you say you cannot
afford to buy the pure bred chickens,
they are too high. 1t looks that
way to start with, but let us do
little figuring: Say you have 20
mongrel hens that average you 80
eggs each year. At Csc. per dozen,
"a good price for the season of the
year." that gives you $1.67 per hen.
Now your neighbor has 20 pure bred
hens that average her $50 eggs each
a year, most of them in the fall
and winter when eggs are high and
33c. is a low average. That gives
her 121a dozen eggs and at 33c., will
give her $4.62 per hen. Feed costs
no more for the standard bred but
see the results. Con you afford to
keep the mongrels? l think not.
| II you cannot afford to buy a pen
Of standard bred chickens, the next
best thing to do is to kill off every
cock that you have, get one or two
high-grade standard cocks or cocker
els right away, for this is the time
to start. Keep a record of the num-
Der Of hens you have and the num-
Der of eggs you get and see what
your average number Of eggs is per
hen for 1910. In September, before
they start to moult, sell off all of
/
young cockerels, and start the year
1911 with the young stock that
you raised and two or three new
cocks or cockerels of the same
breed, keep record of the eggs
gathered and you will note at least
a so per cent gain in eggs without
any additional expense for feed. Go
through the same process in 1912
and you will still see a marked gain
in eggs as we'll as the improvement
in your chickens, for you will have
them up very near standard.
II the ladies would consider this
seriously and look into the matter
carefully they would find nothing
that would pay them so we'll for the
time devoted to it.
