Mr.. Loring Brown:

Mr.. Loring Brown:
I purchased a few months ago, a
nice pen of Rhode Island Reds, six
hens and a rooster; also a trio of
same a week or two later. These nine
mems have been laying on an average
six to seven eggs per day for two
months One of the hens from the
first mentioned pen became broody,
and / gave her Is eggs. some from
each pen Yesterday morning being
the morning of the 22d day. / went
out to look at her and was greatly
surprised to find Is as pretty chicks
as I had ever seen. Now what do
you think of this record? / have at
present about $50 as pretty little Reds
as you ever saw and am very proud
of them. I am using No. 3 Prairie
State brooder and have lost only four
chicks out of 154 placed in same. AS
/ am needing more room for my grow
ing stock, / will have to put all my
hens in one run and confine one of my
male birds. Do you think it would in
lure rooster to take him away from
the hens and keep him in coop with
a small run attached for a few
months2
/ can't put both males in the same
pen because they fight very badly.
Your advice in regard to the above
will be appreciated.
Yours very truly,
w. D. PAYNE.
sos Crew St., Atlanta, April 3, 1911.
ANSWER.
You have done remarkably well with
your fowls, which shows that you
have given them care and attention.
1t also shows what one can do with a
few birds If they look after them.
Am glad to know that you have done
so well.
1t will not hurt the male bird to
confine him in pen to himself.
You could keep one with the hens, say
four weeks, and take him up and put
the other one in four weeks, and in
this way give each rooster a rest, and
they would both do better than If
kept in pen by themselves too long.

soon as the chickens get strong. The
runs. or pens. are 75x10O feet and were
planted in rye, oats and clover last
fall. l keep plenty of fresh water
and grit before them at all times.
Mr. Brown, please tel me If / am
giving my little chickens the right
kind of feed, and also tell me why
tne Indian Games are never recon-
mended as an all-round purpose fowl.
My chickens are the Royal White
Games. 1 am sending you picture
from Rosemary farm, where get
my male birds.
Very truly yours,
MRS. L. ID. SINGLEY.
R. /. Jackson, Ga.
ANSWER.
With tho success you have had can
not suggest anything that would help
you. You have done remarkably well,
and evidently your system of feeding
and management suits you and your
fowls, and as long as you get results,
it would not be wise to make a
change.
White Cornish Indian Games are
very popular and make a splendid Ia
bic fowl. One reason that you do not
see more of them is because they, as
"a rule, are scarce and have never
been pushed forward The popularity
o. any variety Of chickens or any 9TH
er one thing comes from advertising
and pushing 1t, but of course 1t has to
have staple worth and merit to it to
continue popular. There are many
good varieties Of fowls in the Standard
that we have very few of in the south,
that are valuable If we only knew
more about them. I wish you con-
tinued success.

Can YOU ever tell If the one, with a
bitter sense of wrong, visits harm upon
your children when the turn of the
wheel that is so comomn in America
comes his way2
If you're thigh up in the commune
ty, it means that you've got the sense
to see how sad is the need of bringing
up the level of every farmer round
about
If you see that need and deliberately
and selishly ignore it-what can you
expect by way of gratitude from your
children, after you are dead and gone,
and the penalty is visited on their heads?
If you grind down the poor man, or
Cypress the little jackIeg fellow on your
place or next to il, or turn some sharp
trick-it's your children who will have
to pay the price.
Are they likely then to hold your
memory blessed?
There's nothing truer in the Bible than
the declaration that no man liveth unto
himself or dieth unto himself.
It's truer today than ever before, truer
in America than in any other country,
with our interlocking society, and the
bottom today being the top tomorrow
and the top the bottom.
You know what happened to the Phar-
isee who thanked God that he was not

That is also likely to happen to the

lation. In South Dakota, which has
had practical experience with the small
petition plan, there is widespread dis
satisfaction with it's results. The results
there include blanket ballot contain
ing so many measures OF direct legisla-
ton as TO bewilder the voters and pro-
mote disposition TO vote mo" on
everything as the easiest way Of deal
ing with the complications. In South
Dakota the inclination even among the
warmest friends Of the law is to increase
the percentage Of names required on
petitions, suggestions IN that direction
running as high as IS per cent. The
change is advocated with the under
standing that a few more elections in
which mass Of measures is rejected in
toto will so prejudice the principle Of
iirect legislation as to provoke a
demand for repeal rather than amend
nent. If Nebraska is to try the initia-
i've and referendum experiment it
should profit by the experience Of the
south Dakota neighbors. Sioux City

Seeds a Cent Apiece.

| Ginseng seeds are worth l cent
apiece. or from $50 to 500 a pound.
Dried root is worth $625 a pound.
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk. The
second year it adds another leaf on
each part, and the third year the plant
grows in three parts with three leaves
on each part. and this year seed ball
forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to five
inches above the foliage. The aver
age plant produces from fifty to sixty
seeds and sometimes goes as high as
100 seeds. Wild plants yield better
than cultivated.
The fourth and fifth years one leaf
Is added to each stalk. The fifth year
the plant is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves on each stalk.
IL grows from one to two feet in
height. sometimes as high as TWEEN
ty-seven inches. The leaves are broad
and fiat. about four inches long and
two inches wide when full grown with
escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market and eighteen
months to terminate the seed for
growth There Is more cultivated root
now on the market than wild. The
plants are found on high. dry land In
the woods and never In swampy
places.
