A Marked Man in Mississippi College
When the writer was called in

College, much. was heard on all
hands of a student named O. M.

BACkW00DS BOY PIPS THE SHELL OF
CIRCUMSTANCE

Some antecedent facts in Mr..
Johnston's life may be of inter
est. He was born in Morehouse
parish, Louisiana, sixteen miles
north OF Bastrop. His aged
father and mother still live on
the little farm, on which he work
ed until eighteen years of age.
During these years he plowed or
hoed in the day, and read at
night by torchhght the four on
five books to be found IN the
humble home. Tn the late fall,
after his fathers crop of cotton
had been picked out, he would go
on foot to The richer valley Sec
.tion and pick cotton far into the
winter. Tt was by such aid thai
the family eked out living.
When he reached his seven
teenth year, a Mr.. Williams came
from Mississippi College to teacl

borhood, The school house, how
ever, was seven miles from

OFF FOR COLLEGE
Johnston, now resolved upon
an education, asked his father to
give him his time and turn him
loose. No, that could not be
done; at least. not yet. Another
year, perhaps. Accordingly when
he was eighteen his father told
him he might strike for himself.

Gather eggs daily.
The profits in poultry culture are
measured by the care given.
1t is useless to expect many eggs
from old fowls Of any variety.
All scraps of vegetables from the
table should be given to the hens.
A poultryman is judged by his sur
roundings and the condition of his
fowls.
Hens need to be provided with a
summer dust bath as well as In the
winter.
Grit enables the gizzard to prepare
the food for digestion. 1t is fowls

The dropping-boards should be reg
ularly cleaned and the filth removed
from the houses.
1t is of little profit to have a good
supply of eggs If we cannot market
them to advantage.
A large part of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction of infertile eggs.
The market age of goslings is
twelve weeks, which is a short time
after they have feathered out.
Chickens are creatures of habit.
Whether they are lazy or active de-
ponds largely on the way they are
raised
The enemies of the fresh egg mar
ket are the preserved and the tested

trickery.
Guinea fowls do not mate In pairs
like pigeons or doves. One male to
several fowls is the proper way to
mate them.
At the present day many poultry
men grind part of their chicken feed
into meal so IL can be fed into either
a dry or wet mash.
Any breed OF hens will consume
an enormous quantity OF feed before
commencing to lay, but after having
once begun will not require SO much
