due APPARENTLY the death of at least
one president The action of the

The Proper Food for Poultry

With all the diversified beliefs as to
the proper diet for fowls to induce
the greatest egg production, II is al
most universally conceded that some
meat or animal food is needed. For
this purpose the handiest and most
satisfactory article Is Pages Perfec-
ted Poultry Food" II. II. Runnels of
South Newbury, VT, expresses the al
most universal sentiment Of all who
have carefully used this food He
says: Having sold Pages Perfected
Poultry Food for several years past
we unhesitatingly commend II to all
keepers of poultry as the best food
on the market for laying hens. We
nave already placed our order for the
coming season, and in few days will
be ready to serve our customers again
As food for the cold season. we
think II has no equal"

Yet not all the difference is in the
crop and in the people. We in the
land of cotton have no home for
bluegrass, hemp, and cherries, and
not always the best soils for wheat

for all these, especially for blue

How to Kill Nut Grass.

Messrs. Editors: On 2-acre plot
l broadcasted barnyard manure and
planted an early crop that came OF
about the 1st of June. Then sowed
down in field peas. which grew so
fast that the nut grass did not have

will not have any nut grass at all
after the third year.

Cotton Crop Conditions.

The Crop Reporting Board of the
Bureau of Statistics of the United
States Department of Agriculture es-
Inmates, from the reports of the cor
respondents and agents of the Blu
reau, that the condition of the cot
ton crop on June 25th was 8O.7 per
cent of normal, as compared with
$40 on May %, 1910; 746 on June
25, 1909; S1.2 on June %, 1908,
and 1916 the average of the past ten
years on June 25th.

Southern States, affords an oppor-
tunity for a fuller realization Of the
vast extent and varied resources of
this region. From Montgomery,
Alabama, straight northward clear
across Tennessee and Kentucky, and
thence directly eastward through the
bluegrass region OF Kentucky and
the mountain region Of Virginia, the
traveller passes through regions In
which the types Of farming are SO
widely different as to dispel any idea
he may have had that we OF the Cot
ton Belt are very nearly the whole
OF the South as regards agriculture.
AS | left Montgomery soon after
n period OF rainy weather had be-
gun, young grass was painting lines
OF green across many field. crowd
ing the young but thrifty cotton
plants. and promising only trouble
for the farmer who should not have
ample labor to attack the grass Wig
orously rs soon as the rains should
cease. But corn was rejoicing In
the damp soil and giving grounds,
In its rapid growth and dark green
color. for the hope that the harvest
OF this crop in the far South would
be a most bountiful one.
On the other hand, throughout
Kentucky corn was barely large
enough to be worked, and some of 1t
SO small as TO be scarcely distin-
guishable. To one just few hours
away from the we'll grown corn OF
the Cotton Belt. the corn OF Ken
lucky and Virginia seemed abnor-
mally late and none too full OF
promise.
Oats almost everywhere had APP
parently yielded poorly. Never be-
fore had | noticed over SO wide a
territory such large proportion OF
oat fields in which the stand was
poor. The rains had evidently come
too late in most regions to permit
oats TO tiller out freely or to reach
tho normal height. Single fields
bearing good crops OF oats consti-
tuted shining exceptions and I'M
pressed anew the old, old lesson that
the results OF the best farming may
be TO overcome the most unfavorable
conditions.
In parts OF the grazing country
pastures were short. but the grasses
thrifty In other sections recent
rains had pushed the weeds to the
point where the eye alone could not
distinguish whether weeds or clover
and timothy were to be the harvest.
Considering how large a proper
tion OF the land In Kentucky is In
grass, one is struck with the COM
parative infrequency of herds of cat
tie Tho steers seen on pasture
showed chiefly Shorthorn blood, and
many OF them were types that would
not be approved by feeder or buyer.
Can II be that recent high prices OF
beef have resulted in so depicting
the supplies OF cattle on the farms
that their scarcity Is noted even by
a ear-window observer? II so. we
need not look for lower prices OF
beef and beeves, within any short
time.
In travelling through the tobacco
regions OF Tennessee and Kentucky
the scattered patches and small
fields OF tobacco give no idea of the
great value OF the aggregate product.

Editorial Note.-We think the
above diagram and Mr.. Hinson's note
will make the construction of this
clod masher plain to any reader. It
consists simply Of two fence rails,
put together in V-shape, with other
rails nailed across them and the
hitch braced to two or three Of these
cross pieces so that 1t will not pull
out. Two-by-six or three-by-four
scantlings would evidently make
very efiicient crusher.
