Four Essentials to Southern Agricul-
tural PrOSDcrity.

III the farmers of the South produced
all the mules. corn. hogs. and hay that
are used in the South, what would be
the effect on our agriculture? 1t would
simply mean revolution. There are
few counties in the whole South that
boat landing that do not buy large
quantities OF two or more OF these sta
pie products. There is no way of es-
timating accurately the money spent
each year for these farm products. but
it is simply enormous All this would
be retained in the South to circulate
and increase all lines of business; but
this is only one of the many benefits
which would accrue. Not until we
breed our own mules can we hope to
have enough of them to do our farm
work we'll and economically. There
are no greater weaknesses in our pres
ent system of doing farm work than
those resulting from a lack of mule
power-the use of small. in effective
implements and of man labor which
should have its place taken by ma
chimes and mules
AS long as corn and hay are pur-
chased to feed live stock, we can new
er hope to keep that necessary to
build up our worn lands and consume
the forage which must be grown when
a proper crop rotation is adopted.
Hogs offer one opportunity for get
ting into live stock husbandry at a
small cost for breeding stock and
there is abundant proof that they can
be produced on cheap Southern grown
feeds at a large profit ever present
prices. Here indeed, is a money
crop equal to King Cotton if cult
waited with the same interest and mod
crate intelligence
Many OF the suggestions offered for
the bcttcrmcnt of Southern agriculture
are rejected by Southern farmers, as
mpracticaDle under existing comdi-
tons. This is generally not true. the
impractbility OF their adoption rest
ing entirely in the disinclimation OF
our farmers; but who will dare state
that every individual farmer in the
South can not raise his hay, corn and
hogs, and little more for the town
people of his section, if he really wants
to. Moreover, the farmers of the
South. as whole, can raise all the
mules used by the South. just as soon
as they want. or try, to do SOFA
leigh On. c. Progressive Farmer.

SECURING EGGS IN AUTUMN
Hens Penned In Largo Dry Shed and
Fed on Small Grain and Seeds
Do Well.

All during the spring and the early
part of the summer, we fed our hens
on a mixture Of pure wheat bran and
corn hearts meal-about equal parts,
with grain only three or four times q
week-and they thrived on 1t, and laid
well. But. as the autumn season
came on they seemed to get tired of
1T. and to scratch the mkt, e from
the bins as much as possible, and to
seem to be going into early moult-
stopping laying almost entirely, says
writer in the Desert Farmer. Espe-
cially has this been true Of our Leg
horns; and SO we put our thinking
caps on to devise a plan to hold them
up to the laying scratch to some ex-
tent at least during tho early autumn.
And so, with this object in view, and
large dry shed that was Slated up
all around available. we corraled a
dozen or two OF our Leghorn hens,
and put them in the shed enclosure.
with roosting provided therein. Then

They were forty-one days from Seward to the Innoko, and they snow shoed all the way. They travelled light and they travelled slow, and slept in their snowshoes for fear they would disappear in the night.
 Coming this way. N. Griffis said, they figured they would be over the worst of their journey after cover- ing the r1S0 miles from Seward to Susitna, after rounding Turagain Arm. As matter Of fact their trou- bles had just commenced. They bought all the dog feed there was in the town and started out. From that time on their journey was weird dream of white. dotted now and then with little currant bushes, which were in reality the tops of tall trees.
 They encountered the Goodwin party in difficulty just this side of Rainey Pass, but were able to rem der but little assistance. They were compelled to hurry on for lack or supplies, and eacn day was but the heart-breaking repetition of the hard work of the day before.
 According to MT. Griffis, it is al
