Electricity and the Farm.

Electricity, which is solving so ma
nv mobIems of the world, Is reVolu-
rIorzing farm life to such an extent
tina, the present trend Of movement Is
from the city to the farm, rather than
..un the farm to the city. The recent
nr.re,tion of an electric lighting and
bower plant which can be installed
.nwply and easily and can be run
without any degree Of technical
knowledge has brought to the farm
ii. the conveniences Of city life, and
has made the drudgery which has al
v.1> been associated with farm life
Il ,nng of the past.
In many respects similar to the ad-
vent Of the automobile, these electric
.n'...s have been adopted first by the
very wealthy for their large estates;
.gr more recently they have come in
,a general use by all up-to-date farm
ers Of moderate means who recognize
II, rhem the means of. carrying on
their work in a thoroughly efficient
and .abor saving manner.
Il is no uncommon thing now to
ras, homes in the country districts
that are lighted by electricity, ana TO
see the various farm appliances run
in the same manner. At the front
ratc. in the house, on the piazzas,
IN the barn. the CLEAN of electric
lights now offers comfort and protec-
lion on every hand. The protection
feature has been especially empha-
sized in the past few days when a
farmer, being aroused by passing
gutomobilist for help, shot the man
thinking that he was trying to force
an entrance into the house. If the
farmer had had a porch light operat
ed by switch, such a deplorable ac-
cident never would have occurred.
The electric lighting of barns has
been of especial advantage because of
the great danger that has been at
tached to lanterns in hay lofts and

GULL THE POULTRY FLOCK.
You Lose Money by Keeping Birds
Lacking in Vitality.

The pouItryman who is trying to
get profit from his flock should de-
pend on birds with plenty of vitality
the other kind have no place in the
flock. No bird can produce to its ca
pacity, either meat or eggs. unless if
IS well bred, in good health, and ac
tive. To have such birds, one must
have strong, healthy, vigorous stock
to begin with. If you are in the
poultry business to stay, Gull YOUR
flock. The weak birds are fit 0nIv
for the market.
AS regards the general body shape
of weak chicken you will find, saws
the University of Florida extension
division, that the body usually lacks
capacity where there is low vitaIitv:
that 1t has a tucked-up and rather
contracted abdomen; it has a tendcn-
cy to be hollow-breasted, angular, un-
gainly and se-jointed in its make
up. If any part of a weak chicken
grows it is its head and beak and
feet, and occasionally its wings, at
the expense of its body. So YOU will
find a tendency to a rather thin head;
long, thin, fiat beak; a rather long.
thin neck; thin body; long. thin
shanNa, legs and toes, and very poor
development of pIunage; . .sunken.
dull eye; dropping evelid; q small.
pale comb,-&lI of those external
characteristics that indicate poor
health, low vitality, and { poor appe-
tite.
In other words, the bird Of low vi
tality has a weak development Of the
| breast and poor development Of the
abdomen, whereas the strong vitality
! bird is strong in those points. II
YOU would compare each of those
birds with a triangle you would see
that the weak bird, because Of its
shape, has tendency to narrow at
the shanks, whereas the strong bird
has less of 4 tendency to the triangu-
lar form. 1t can be said that com
paring-each Of the breeds, according
to its type, with individuals within
that breed the birds of high vitality
are those that more nearly approach
the parallelogram form than the tri-
angular form and this is as true Of
baby chicks as it is Of mature fowls.
either male or female.
IF one will get these points fixed in
his mind he will he able, with d great
deal of accuracy, to eliminate earlyI
in the season all of the low-vitaIilvI
chickens in his flock, sell them forl
whatever he can get for them, and
keep only the stronger and more ro-I
bust individuals in his flock.

Cover Crops Are Valuable.

No land should be permitted to
stand throughout the fall and winter
without some kind of cover crop. If
YOU have no other use for it. the COW
err crp can be cut and converted into
hay. If legumes are used, they will
gather nitrogen from the air and build
up the soil.
Winter cover crops protect soil from
washing, keep it from blowing away,
prevent soluble plant food from being
lost by teaching, furnish winter and
early spring grazing, and enrich the
soil by adding vegetable matter and
humus. says the University of Flori-
da extension division.

Gently installed an electric plant with

clalIy this feature.
"Electricity gives us the best light
we ever had," he says, "and more
than that, it gives US the light where
we need it most. This is particular
Iy true in the barn where we have
lights behind the COWS and horses,
in the feed and harness rooms and
in the loft. 1t saves half the time
it used to take to do the chores.
The electric power which we now
generate on the place has also relieved
us Of many hours Of unpleasant and
firing labor which we used to consid-
er a part Of the days work." he con-
tinued. I'VE now have our water
pumped into every room in the house,
it turns the chWn, the grindstone,
the washing machine, the cream sep
arator, the sewing machine and a
dozen other labor saving appliances.
But better and more convenient
light and labor saving power are not
the real significance of electricity on
the farm. Through these things, it
has made our lives easier, more COM
Portable, more worth while"
Equipment such as this farmer
mentions is comparatively cheap and
well within the reach of the average
farmer.

Will be Complete
Segregation.

NflolH lueSday Atlanta JOurnal.)
White and negro troops at Camp
jackson, Columbia, S. c., will be COM
pIetely segregated. Such was the
definite announcement made at the Of
nee OF the commanding general.
we have received orders to organ
lze one separate negro regiment; how
ever, we expect there will be more ne
groes sent to this camp than are suf-
liclent for that one regiment, and in
that case they will be organized into
separate batalions," said Major Adna
Chatfee, divisional adjutant.
Negroes will, in no way, be mixed
with the white troops. Just what
section Of Camp jackson the negro
troops will occupy has not been de-
clded, however, they will occupy one
portion Of the camp exclusively.
Major Chaffee says that thousands
OF negroes, selected for service in the
national army, will arrive at this
camp on September 10, when the sec
ond increment of 40 per cent of the
selected men will report. By that
time, it is understood, plans for their
reception and training in military
science will have been developed
