Cwritteh Specially for The Bulletin,

(Writteh Specially for The Bulletin.) Dear Mir. Farmer
 How big 8 farm would 1t be best for me to buy at the start? I am a city man with no practical knowledge of farming and don't want to bite of more than can chew, first mouthful.
 (Sisned) .
 Suferin' bobcats, how can I tell? You might as well ask me what size brooches you ought to buy, without telling me how tall you arc or what is your waist measure or whether you want 'em for full dress or as slip overs' for the barn work.
 don't even know whether you want farm as a summer plaything, or whether you intend to live on it the year round, and expect it to support you.
 Or whether your tastes and inten- tions run towards chickens or potatoes or hay or dairying or any one of the other two dozen varieties of farming.
 Or whether you plan to do your own farm work or to hire it done for you. Or whether you're husky young fellow with plenty of muscle. Or whether you've got boys coming on to help you out. Or anything else on which to base even suggestion of 4 hint.
 To begin with, my dear fellow, if as you say, you have ma practical knowledge of farming" what makes you want to buy any sort of farm Right there you see, we're up against our first stump. If you've got plenty of capital, if you want 8 place to play with in pleasant summer seasons, ii you don't care what you do or how much it costs you, why, then, you cant make a mistake in buying any old farm you take a notion to. Ones as good as another, and size is of no con sideration. The bigger the acreage the more different sorts of experiments 1 you can try.
 But, if you're like another city mar whom I know, who aspires to get to. gether enough ito buy little place just outside the city where I can raise l chickens" then the situation is differ. ent. This latter man, though, has al ready had experience with chickens He once lived where he could keep z | hundred or so; had fine luck witt | them, and actually enjoyed taking ] care of them. He already has some | practical experience" You have ha( none.
 i if you're like him, however, in you desire to go into chickens, then you'l | have to excuse me from offering an! sort of advice whatever. The work | is plum full and running over witt | advice about raising chickens already There's so much of it, of so man! kinds, that the would-be chicken fan cier is already enveloped in a veritabl fog of advice so thick that even th' strongest sunlight of common sens cant always pierce it. To add to tn density of this fog bank would b. 1 futile-and worse.
 | Because, if you've got the real hel bee in your bonnet, you've got huge good to out buzz all the advice al 1 the sages of all the poultry yard 1 could give you. In that case yol don't want advice; you want encour I agement.
 But if you are simply tired cit,
 man, with a hankering for freer If in the open air and a belief that tn i country is the right place to live if you haven't any capital to waste if you have got to make your farm pa expenses and give you a iiving-an

 Working girls everywhere should profit by Mrs. Dooley's experience, and instead of dragging along from day to day with life burden, give this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound a trial. It has overcome just such conditions for thousands of others, and why not for you? For special advice, write Lydia 2. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass.

WHEN JOHNNIE HAD
THE "FLU"
BY Charles Alexander

BY Charles Alexander
We're used to epidemics
OF every sort and kind;
We've heard of some so ancient
They've gone quite out of mind.
Rut things have happened lately
To puzzle me and you
They closed the town completely
When Johnnie had the Flu
We scrubbed our floors and cupboards,
We aired our rugs and bed;
We wore the mask they ordered,
Did all the doctors said,
Till psychiatric troubles
Loomed up and spread and grew
The town was dark and gloomy
When Johnnie had the Flu"
At first he started sneezing.
And then he cOughed bit
And every one began to dodge
And cried that he had "ti"
/. His head began to ache him,
He thought his back would break;
He had an empty feeling,
And yet refused a steak.
And then the ehills and feyers
Came crowding thick and fast;
! He looked into the future,
And then reviewed the past;
He longed for visitations
From friends he thought he knew;
But not single friend showed up
Z While Johnny had the Flu"
But now the ban is lifted.
And Johnnie's on his feet;
He's highly complimented,
BY friends he chance to meet;
But Johnnie still is grouchy,
He feels so very blue,
That al Ibis friends should fail him,
Because he had the Flu"

soldiers who have fought bravely and
whose courage on the battlefield no
man has questioned, who have faced
the most destructive guns the world
has ever known, return to America to
be hanged on a tree or burned at stake

strong enough to overthrow the stout

stand quietly by while men who have
fought to defend it are beaten and
brutally murdered? No one has tried
to put an end TO lynching and make
the south safe for the negro, but the
negro has gone thousands of miles and
on foreign soil has helped to make the
world safe for democracy. l say safe
for democracy, but not for the colored
man, for, while bells and whistles were
sounding the good news of the signing
of the armistice; while the world was
wild with joy, and everywhere cele-
brating the fall of autocracy, a mob
sof prominent white gentlemen(?) of
Sheffield, Ala, wishing to have a little
fun, went to the county jail, and,
securing two negro prisoners held
there on false charges, took them out
and lynched them One was hanged
to tree and his body riddled with
bullets, then the wives and children
came to view the body and take with
them fingers and teeth for souvenirs
With these things going ON and no
zeal effort Being made to put stop
such outrages, l want to ask my
mite friends if this is the example of
democracy that they are setting for
other nations to follow?
The United States has sent more
than 100000 men to France to help
put an. end to the horrible deeds of
the Hun, and yet there is allowed to
go on right under the eyes of Washing
ton things equally as barbaric. The
negroes have always been true and
loyal citizens, lovers of America, and
the American flag, and many have
given their lives to keep the Stars and
Stripes from trailing in the dust We
love America, but it is the treatment
we receive at the hands of the favored
race that is almost intolerable, and
yet we believe that behind the dark
clouds the sun is still shining, and
when we look back and see the prog
