Land plowed early this fall will be
freer from weeds next season than il
plowed later. The ears of corn that
ripen first are very desirable for seed
purposes. The first white husks indi-
cate the early maturing habit.
Good seed corn was scarce and high
priced this spring. From the present
outlook this experience will be repeated
next spring, unless immediate steps are
taken to secure home grown seed fol
next year. 1t is up to the farmers who
have a good field of a suitable variety
of corn to select their seed soon. This
should be done, as a rule not later
than September 10th or 18th.

there is this increase in the amount CT

grees for the next two weeks. After
that. unless the days are unusually
cold, it will not be necessary to burn
the lamps, as the chicks will gener-
ate enough heat to keep themselves
warm. However. watchfulness and
good Judgment are better than a
thermometer. When chicks are
warm and comfortable they will be
scattered around under the hover;
if cold they will huddle and crowd
in the corners, and if too hot they
will hunt the openings and spread
their wings.
10. Be careful not to leave the
lamp turned too high, as it always
crawls up after burning a while.
II. See that the floor Of brooder
IS kept dry, as wet floors cause dis
ease.
II. Keep fine grit, oyster shell
and gravel where chicks can get at
it at all times.
IS. Clean the broodor thoroughly
every week, renew sand and litter,
and spray with some disinfectant.
ii. Always see that the chicks are
comfortable. They will be fairly
contented and quiet If they are.
1t is very essential that careful at
tcntion be given to the small things,
as the chicks are very delicate, and
carelcssness will mean failure.
Tack these hints up where you can
get at them readily for reference. If
your experience has taught you a
better way, use it; but If In doubt
try the above, and we think results
will be satisfactory.

The Profitable Hen.

So many farmers and no-farmers
dabble in hens. So many have such
severe attacks Of chen fever" every
spring that it does seem as if the
markets would be flooded with
chicken roasts in autumn and eggs

never is. There are too many "ab-

TOO many people, being ignorant,
leave off ignorant and end in dead

six rules:

3. A variety Of clean, cgg-produc-

crossing pure blood and mongrel

next year deterioration begins and
the fowls especially grow scrubby
and poor. In fact, you will soon get
scrubs and eventually run-out stock.
Nearly any fowl will do we'll If prop

A Few Rules for Caring for Incuba.
tor Chicks.

l. Start the brooder day or two
before the chicks hatch, so as to get
all parts tho oughly warmed.
z. Remove the chicks from the in
Cubator when they are about 10
to "a hours old, or when thoroughly
dry and sprightly. Put them in a
box containing some dry, fine chaff,
and cover with a cloth until they are
about &c hours old.
3. Kill all tho crippled chicks that
are so weak you believe they will not
live. 1t is not worth while to at
tempt to raise them.
4. Put all the healthy chicks in
the broodor when they are about 36
hours old. DO not put so many in
the brcoder that they will be crowd
ed. Usually brooder which Is rat
ed to hold 100 chicks will give much
better results with fifty or sixty.
D. Have the brooder floor we'll
covered with dry, sharp sand and let
the chicks run over this for the next
twelve hours, or until they are 4S to
so hours old They will fill their
giZZards with sand and then will be
ready for their first feed, which
should be given them on a paper in
the front part Of brooder
6. The first feed should consist of
the yolk OF hard boiled eggs or old,
stale, dry bread soaked in milk, and
n IN u,
infertile eggs tested out on the tenth
day should be saved for this purpose.
Z. Feed sparingly but often at
first; about every three to five hours
during the first week just what they
Will Clean up quickly. After the sec
ond day oat meal should be substi-
tuted for boiled eggs or soaked
bread. If it can be secured, wheat
bran should be kept before them af-
ter the second or third day. Green
stun should be fed at least three
times week, but little every day
would be better Fresh meat or COM
mercial beef scraps should be given
two or three times per week after
tho first week.
s. See that clean, fresh water is
kept before them at all tines! Take

ANOTHER MYSTERY IN AIKEN.
Negro Finds Open Grave from Which
Body Has Been Taken.

Aiken, April S.-m a little pine
grove on the farm Of Fabian Sum-
.lerall few miles from Aiken, and
in this county, negro farm hand,
employed on the place, made a
ghastly discovery. An open grave.
from which a body that had not been
inferred in coffin, hal been recently
taken, was found by the negro. A
quantity Of smoking tobacco wrap
ped in paper and some scorched
cotton carrying the fumes OF sulphur
were found in the open grave.
The matter was reported to Mr..
Summerall, who with one OF the
rural policemen went to the spot. An
tomobile tracks led nearly to the
grave, although the pine thickct is
removed from easy access by auto
mobile. There were unmistakable
signs that the automobile had made
a stop at the nearest point to the
grave, and that the grave had held
for a short time, human body
which had not been prepared for
burial nor protected by coffin
The whole thing is mystery. No
one in the ncighbOrhood knows any
thing about a body having been bur
led there, although negro tenant,
living near the place reported to the
officers that one night last week he
and his family were disturbed by
their DOGS barking. and that they
