Mt. Hermon, La, March 12.-
Editor Era a-Leader:
Sometime ago
there appeared in the columns
of your paper an article about an
old post found in Mrs. Babing|
toms yard l believe. I think, as
I can remember, that the post
was fifty years in use. This
shows without a doubt that tim
Der lasted longer in palmy days
than it does now.
| want to tell of a post that
has been in use longer than the
one previously mentioned. Near
Mt. Point School there is a Gem.
etery, known in that community
as Affords Cemetery, where
some of the pioneers of the south
are buried. At the head of
Willis Brumfeld's s grave the post
I have mentioned. Mr.. Brum-
field died somewhere about the
year 1882 (not definitely known.
The head board, which is as solid
and sound as freshly made, has
stood there these many years.
This would make it about IS
years old. By way of explana.
tion, Willis Brum6eld is the
grandfather of s. l.. Afford, a.
farmer of that vicinity and con-
federate veteran.

their fowls after they have ceased to
be productive, although it is well
known that fowls of the heavier breeds.
such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to
produce profitable number of eggs at
the end of their second laying year and
that this holds true of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorns, at the
end of their third laying year. Con-
sequently If efforts were made to dis
pose of all females when their best lay
ing days were over large quantity of
poultry meat would be placed on the
market. All poorly developed chick
ems should likewise be culled out and
used at meat. This way Of disposing
Of Improbable fowls would allow the
farmer to feed his grain to younger
and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockerels that are not
intended for breeding purposes will not
only increase their size, but will place
more desirable poultry meat on the
market. Another practice that should
be adopted more widely is that Of fat
tening all chickens that are to be mar
keted before they leave the farm. This
can be done easily by combining the
birds for week or ten days and feed
ing them a good fattening ration. They
will come to market then in better con-
dition, and the farmer will receive a
profit for their added weight.

Proper Handling Of Poultry Would
Largely Increase Food Supply.
prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
Since poultry reach maturity quickly
and since the quality and productive
ness of breeding stock, therefore, may
be improved by selection in a relatively
short period, the raising Of poultry fur
nishes one of the best opportunities for
increasing the meat food supply OF the
country in an emergency like that now
existing. This, coupled with the ad-
vantages to be gained by the exercise
of greater care in poultry raising, was
the thought in the minds of the federal
and state agricultural specialists who
met recently in st. Louis, when they
stated that the poultry products Of the
United States could be doubled in
year. This means that if everybody in
a position to help did his part $780,
100000 worth Of food would be added
to the country's supply this year.
This includes both meat for the ia
BILE and eggs. Very few farmers prac-
tice systematic plan Of disposing of

Charcoal For Poultry,

Charcoal is not food and may not
be panacea for all poultry ills, but
1t is a valuable aid to digestion and a
corrective Of digestive troubles, says a
correspondent Of the Farm and Fire
side. 1t is good for poultry Of any
age. 1t may be mixed with the mash,
wet or dry, or fed in hoppers SO that
the birds may help themselves. 1t
Is especially valuable in fattenlng or
forced feeding. Experiments with fat
tening fowls and turkeys have shown
that those having charcoal made much
greater gains than those not receiving
it. Finely granulated is the most con-
venient and desirable form for feeding
it. Although supply houses usually
charge pretty good price for it In
small quantities, it is comparatively
inexpensive when bought by the bag
or barrel. Bones or corn is sometimes
charred for poultry. but this is mex
pedient except on small scale.

CLEARING STREET LIGHTS BAD
Best Results Obtained From Globes
Which Are Dense Enough to
Soften the Rays.

illuminating engineers are now
turning all their energies toward a
system for the proper distribution of
street lighting" writes Walter r. How
ell, in Good Health. "They have
unanimously agreed that the best light
is that from globe that is dense
enough not to reveal the form Of the
actual light within, but to give the eff
feet of light streaming forth from the
globe"
The reason for this is that street
lamps are necessarily against dark
background, and the amount of glare
upon the eyes depends to great de-
gree upon the background against
which the light is seen. An electric
light, unshaded, against a dark velvet
wall covering, for instance, will be
found much more trying to the eyes
than would the same light with a
white wall paper behind it.
