true that such pools are always dis
ease-spreading centers and are often
responsible for serious losses which
are attributed to cholera. No animal
a be healthy or produce meat of the
best quality when compelled to drink
the putrid offal with which such ponds
are always poisoned. Where a pond
is the only available source for the
water supply, 1t should be drawn off
into an outside trough as it is wanted
1t is a small matter to provide for
this when a dam is built by having a
one-inch galvanized iron pipe laid
through the bottom of the dam. The
end of the pipe In the pond should be
protected by a large strainer. and the
outlet provided with an automatic
float valve so that the trough will al
ways be kept full, no water will be
wasted. and a fresh supply will be
drawn in as fast as the trough is
emptied. The whole arrangement can
be made at an expense Of not exceed
ing five dollars, the value Of a single
half-grown hog, and will often save
many times its cost in a single season.
1t Is not necessary that hogs should
be provided with a place for wallow.

EFFECTIVE AS WATER-GATE
Device Shown In the Illustration, II
Properly Constructed, VIII Last
for Years.
(By NJ. A.

Many farmers have II or two
small streams running across their
farms, and these streams, when the
water rises, play havoc with the
fences, so that hardly a farmer IN
the country has a fence at all where
1t crosses a stream.
The following illustrated device
shows how a water-gate may be con-
structed which will prove highly sue
cessful. and it will last for years. An
unusually high water might damage
It. but II constructed according to d.
rections there is little likelihood OF It's
ever being washed away. .
If nothing but large stock are kept
adjoining these gates, leave as much
space as possible between the wires,
to permit the passage OF trash ana
timbers during the floods.

should be strong, durable and well set

diciously mating them with a male OF
a breed possessing the requisite
breast development and tineness OF
flesh and bone. Good table crosses
can be made in so many ways that it
Is hard to say which is absolutely tho
best. Some, however, are rather more
suitable than others for certain pur-
poses. When. for instance, early
spring chickens will bring a good
price. one of the English ~gamecocks,
with Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte
hens, makes a good cross. The birds
produced will be quick growers, car
rying a good breast and the flesh we'll
favored. For obtaining large fowls
of the best form and quality 4 cross
of Dorking or Indian game male with
either of the utility breed mentioned
gives excellent results, Woducing a
large proportion of first-grade table
fowls, such as will realize the highest
prices and give satisfaction TO the
consumer" The raising and fattenins
of chickens and ducks for the hotels,
restaurants and large boarding houses
is a profitable industry. This busi-
ness, properly managed, is more profit
able than general farming and is not
so slavish as dairying.

overfiows, and often brings germs of
disease from points nearer its source.
The last objection is the strongest of
all. as the germs of anthrax, cholera,
swine plague and other contagious
diseases are often carried long dis
tances by water, and such a possible
source Of infection should be care
fully avoided. This spreading of dis
ease by means Of running water has
been very plainly marked in nearly
every outbreak Of cholera in the hog
raising sections Of the north, and
though the disease is comparatively
rare in the south, still 1t occurs occa-
~sionally, and it's spread should be pre-
vented by the use of every available
means.
Shallow, stagnant ponds, in which
the hogs are allowed to wallow, are
equally undesirable and should never
be tolerated. 1t is true that such
ponds are in very common use and
that many fine hogs are raised with
no other water supply; but it is also

misunderstanding to President G.
f. Hightower, OF the Mississippi division
OF the Farmers Union, the chain of
warehouses of that organization will
handle at least 100000 bales of the
states cotton crop during the current
season.
Granting hat the Mississippi crop
does not exceed one million bales, l am
confident that one-tenth of the amount
will be handled through our ware

Of cotton grown by farmers who are
not members of the organization, as
was the case last year. As we are now

why the volume of our receipts should
not show a heavy increase.

up in first-class shape for sampling and
the clerical work incident to warehous-
ing and marketing the crop.
"We operate sixty-odd warehouses in
the state" said Mr.. Hightower, "and
we have asked for careful reports from
the managers of each of them. These
warehouses are widely scattered, and
represent all sections. In addition we
get many letters from our people, and
the result will justify me in saying
that I believe the crop this year has
been underestimate considerably, even
after estimates made of deterioration
and damage.

GREAT DRAIN ON STATE.

Germs of the North and East for goods
which they can purchase at home prae-
tically as cheaply, and at the same time
keep the money in circulation in Their

According to Mr.. William Quarles'
Jr., who holds that office, from june
30, 1910, to July 1, 1911, the staggering
sum of $24,SOO was sent to mail order
houses. This does not include the eN-
press money orders, or the amount sent
through banks and by exchange. These
mediums would augment the amount
half as much again. .
Charleston is a little town OF not
much over two thousand inhabitants,

SHOULD HAVE MORE TURNlPS
Crop Furnishes Food for Family and
Stock, and Brings in Cash From
Sales on Market.

There is no real reason why every
farmer should not have a sufficient
quantity of turnips on hand to help
him through the winter. Turnips fur
nish feed for stock, food for the fam
lily, and bring in cash from sales on
the market.
Thoroughly prepare fertile soil, fer
tilize it with barn-yard manure and
plant about one-half pound Of turnip
seed per acre in rows about two feet
apart. Give the turnips frequent cul-
tivation. The turnips may be planted
broadcast. When planted broadcast
use about one pound of seed per acre.
Do not plant seed too thick.
Turnips will withstand considerable
frost. consequently there is no real
necessity for harvesting them until
danger of heavy freeze.
A good way to take care of the crop
Is to bury them in a shallow trench,
say the depth Of a spade, the bottom
Of which is covered with straw or
hay, on which the turnips are piled in
a heap and well covered with the
same material over which a ligh:
cover of earth should be thrown. The
| quantity of earth thrown over the tur-
nips may be increased as the wealth
err gets colder. However, be careful
not to put too much earth on the tur.
nips and thereby cause them to sweat
and grow.
From August l till September Is is
a good time to plant turnips.

PLYMOUTH ROCKS ARE BEST

They Are Quick Growers.

The best general utility birds, at

the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
Orpingtons. They are, however, too
coarse in flesh and bone for the best
markets and are also lacking in
breast development, this latter de-

the young birds. They are, therefore.

LIMIT ON ~FRATERNALS.
Commissioner Henry Makes Important
Announcement,

Jackson.-Hon. T. NJ. Henry, insur-
C commissioner of Mississippi, has
adopted the plan of licensing no fra
ternal insurance company to transact
business in Mississippi that is operating
under a less rate than the National
Fraternal Congress Table of Mortality.
He has had several applications recently
from orders located outside of the state
and has declined to admit those not con-
forming strictly to the above standard.
As chairman of the national commit
tee, Mr.. Henry is of the opinion that
this course should be adopted by all the
commissioners, believing it would not
only simplify the situation, but would
greatly minimize the opposition to the
enactment of the uniform fraternal bill
into law by the various state legisla-
lures and would prove salutary in Other
respects.

and so feels the effects of heat very
quickly. When the only means for
protection from the hot sun is to bury
himself in mud, he will naturally do
so. In the shade of a building he
often misses the breeze, but in the
shade of trees he will always be con-
tented. An abundant supply Of water
and protection from the hot sun are
both necessary, but should never be
combined. With shade and good wa
ter provided, the other details Of the
