TO acquire more acres. under the false
idea that his prosperity will be de-
noted by the amount Of land in his
possession. He does not realize that
one acre Of thoroughly-drained land
may bring him q greater income, with
half the labor and expense of cultiva-
ton, than two acres of the undrained
land; or that II could be acquired at
one-third to one-half the cost of the
newly-bought acre. This extra land
Is purchased with the idea that land
values will rise. AS the real value Of
land is regulated by its improvements
and productiveness, the landowner
whose only object is to acquire more
acres, rather than to improve the land

A FARM PRoFiTABLY TILED.
On this s0-acre field three systems Of
tile drainage were necessary. This
shows the advantage with which two
neighbors can cooperate in putting
in a line Of tile. An obstacle so
trivial as a line fence should not be
permitted to prevent economical
drainage. The owner Of this land
says that tile pays for itself every
year and that $500 expended on tile
has raised the value Of the 30 acres
$1,000.

A goodly flock Of hens IL an abso-
lutte necessity in any rational farm
ling system for the South. Rightly
managed. chickens not only furnish
wholesome meat and eggs for home
consumption. but surplus for paying
the grocery bills as well.
We DO not advise, for the average
farmer, poultry raising on q large
scale; but we do hold that from so to
100 producing hens should be found
ION every farm Of average size in the
South. In fact. on most farms there
are enough waste materials to keep
this number of hens without any
more than very nominal expense for
additional feed.
But, as is the case with cattle and
hogs, there are certain fundamentals
that we must look to II we are to get
the maximum profits from our poul.
try. Among the most important
points are the following:
!. Well bred fowls. Production,
either Of meat or eggs. is the aim in
poultry raising. and any fowl that
falls to measure up has no business in
the flock. As with other kinds Of live
stock, there is no one best breed OF
chickens, though there are undoubt.
eddy breeds and strains best suited 10
particular conditions. We must re.
member, too, that the best producers
unless rigid selections is practiced
Twill soon degenerate into scrubs.
2. Proper feeding is essential
Just as we must feed the dairy COW
for the special purpose Of producine
milk and butter, or the beef animals
for the laying on Of flesh, or the
horse that he may do the work reouir
Led OF him, so We must study the needs
OF our poultry and so feed them that
they VIII do their best, either in egg
production or as table fowls, as the
case may be. And in this connection
let us urge especially the need fol
greater attention to winter grazing
crops for poultry. Patches of rye
clover and oats are easily grown, and
are excellent for aiding in the produc
ton OF high priced winter eggs.
3. House the poultry. Fresh air Il
fine for the hens. but the tree tops or
cold winter nights make bad place
to get 1t. Here In the South building
material is comparatively cheap. ant
there is no really valid excuse fol
leaving our poultry unprotected from
the cold winter rains and SHOWS. Ant
then let's see to It that the poultry
houses are kept cleand and sanitary
and free from all kinds OF vermin.
or course there are other importan
points in looking after farm poultry
but the three named are the most i'm

 The qualities and elements which constitute the man of good will also constitute the commonwealth of good will.
 Such commonwealth is common wealth peace. Willing good to oth- CTS, others will good also to it. Arm- aments in such condition have no long CT any function to play, and they melt away.

Peace to Men
 of Good Will
By CHARLES z. 7HWLNC

The angels song, "On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men," can also be translated peace to men of good will" This version Is timely, as well as correct for the Greek. For peace can and shall come to men of good will. and 1t cannot come to men of bad will.
 Who Is the man of good will? II Is he who has choice of happiness, of righteousness, of goodness for all men. It Is he who desires that men may be blessed, and who tries to make the desire effective. The man of good will does not hate. Neither loes he incarnate hate in any weapon offensive or defensive. He Is free from revenge, and Is full of forgiveness for the penitent. He may not forget injuries. but, what Is more important. he is eager to make injury the occa- sion for helping the offender to over come the evil within the heart or 'rill out of which the Injury sprung. 'Ie Is capable of mighty indignations, aut he does not suffer himself to be aonquered by them. Without being 'mpassive, he Is calm In the face of wrong, and he Is very patient. be- Ing more willing to be the victim than the agent of evil. Ills hatred of all sin and his love for the man who,
