The CARE OF
The FARM FLOCK
The Question Of Feed Is Of Great
Importance In Order to Sc
cure Best Results.
FARMER USES OWN METHOD.

The question of feed is one
that has much to do with solving
the winter egg problem. What
to feed and how much at a time
is the question the farmer or his
wife must decide for themselves.
My experience, as well as OBJ
servation has proven to me that
no poor half-starved or lousy hen
will lay in winter, or any other
time as to that. But on the con-
trary well-bred poultry from lay
ing stock comfortably housed and
judiciously fed will pay the farm
er well for the feed and extra
trouble.
Now in addition to the grains
mentioned in former article, |
feed wheat t-bran, bones and tab
lie scraps. The table scraps are
not fed at each meal but allowed
to accumulate until enough is saw
ed to make a feed for at least a
part of the flock.
The bones are ground in a
bone cutter and fed sparingly.
If no bone cutter is to be had a
solid block and hand AK or heavy
hammer will take its place.
Pound the bones up fine and give
a small amount to each hen.
The branis sometimes fed dry
in hopperS made for the purpose:
if you haven't the hoppers feed
in pans or shallow boxes. Other
times it is slightly moistened
with milk, and fed warm in the
hOppers.
We feed no poultry powders or
any forcing feeds or stimulants
(yet we do not condemn their
use.)
OF course you will understand
they have fresh water twice a
day. Grit, charcoal and lime in
some form is regularly supplied.
Corn warmed in cold weather
forms the greater part Of our
| feed.
This is practically our method
of feeding and caring for our own
flock ard we are satisfied with
the results. Our egg record for
the first three weeks in January
was ~ dozen, l3 l-2 dozen and
l6 l-2dozen. Making AZ dozen
from l05 hens including some 3
year old hens and some late
hatched pullets, just beginning
to lay all of them full stock not
a half breed, not a mongrel
among them and they are still on
the job, laying 26 eggs Jan. "a,
not a big record of course com
pared with the man who is work
ing for a record but for the farm
flock, receiving no more care ol
attention than any ordinary far
mer should bestow on his flock
Now want il distinctly under
stood that these articles are no
intended for the professional
chicken fancier who devotes al
4 his time and energies to his bus
n mess but the ordinary farme
|. like myself who has more or les
e spare time during tie winte
i: months that we thin, could b
e more proftably spent in this wa,
It than any other.
d Some other time l may emphs

n largely into the solution Of thi

rape, only 8 were proven guilty be-
yond any doubt. OF IA Negroes
burned at the stake, only 6 were
charged with the unspeakable
crime.
In order to make it clear here,
give to you Ii lynchings which
happened in 1910. One was
lynched for peeping through win
dow; one for sueing his white
neighbor for killing his COW, two
for murder; one for trying to save
his brother; one for cutting sever
al people; one for beating and rob-
bing an aged man; one for strik-
ing town marshal; one for run
ming around town with shot gun; !;
one Negro was burned at stake for
killing a constable.
''In order to be more explicit
and plain, l will cite two cases
In Clarkdale, Miss, two Negroes
were sitting in cabin playing
cards. Two officers went to arrest
them. One officer who was drunk,
pulled his pistol and accidently
shot his brother officer. The
alarm was given that one of the
Negroes had killed the officer.
The name of the Negro was Ma
than McDaniels. He escaped on
mule loaned to him by his broth
er Hiram. Hiram was lynched in
the presence of his neighbors and
in the streets OF Clarksdale, Miss,
a little boy and a woman we're shot
down and killed in the stampede.
Il could give and should give
1000 examples of lynching, but
what is the use? Does lynching
help to diminish crime? | say No,
it never has, and it never will. 1t
is a reflection upon the white man
who is the superior of the Negro
and who makes and executes the
law that he should not abide by
the law.

DR.. Louis Edelman, the well
known eye, ear and nose special
ist. who is without doubt one OF
the most liberal minded Southern
men. and who is known through
out the county as the friend OF
humanity, has written letter
touching upon lynching in the
south, which letter was prompted
largely by recent editorials in The
mingham Ledger on the lynch
ing evil. DR.. Edelman's letter is
published here in part, as follows:
when human beings lived like
savages, roaming wild, looking for
prev. their one defense was their
strength. Then, perhaps, the
murder of fellow man for self
protection was justi6able; but
when people begin TO live in
groups, they were forced by ne
cessity to rules and regulations
for self protection. There could
not have been one law for one par
ty, and another law for another
parry.
"If a small number of people
without the process of the law, will
take the life of criminal for COM
mitting even the unspeakable
crime for which they.may be Justi-
able. we will soon drift back to
barbar:sm and take life without a
process of law for other crimes,
real or imaginary.
For twenty years or more'l have
collected statistics of lynchings
and have investigated many OF
them in person and from all inves-
LEGATIONS and observations, and
from evidences given by the best
people in the community, there
has hardly been a single case OF
justifable lynching. In the num-
Der of 2531 lynchings l have in
vestigated, only % per cent were
guilty of the crime for which
lynching is declared to be justifi-
able, and of the whole amount 3
per cent were proven guilty be-
yond doubt. OF FOB cases OF
lynchings personally investigated
