SOUTHERN FARM - JOTS. TOPICS Of INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, : Strong Healthy Chicks. ' ' Last week we devoted most of our space to growing and feeding young chicks. But the subject is by no means exhausted. Thousands of chick ens are hatched every year, only Jo droop and die before they are a month old. "In a multitude of counselors there is a safety." We hope by giving the experience of many poultry keep ers to show that much of the loss is avoidable and unnecessary. The fol lowing is from The Successful Poul try Journal: j The breeding stock and the incuba tor are often wrongly blamed or the chicks being weak and ptony, many of them dying the first few weeks when in fact the trouble is due to the im proper care of the eggs 'during the pe riod of i incubation. If you want good strong, lusty chicks' that will go through to maturity, scratching for a living, always in the very pink of con dition, study well the conditions that you surround them with, while the tender germs are sprouting into life.'' Do not allow the temperature of your incubator room to run below sixty de grees, keep the ventilators wide open from the start, lower the upper sash of the south window all the way down ciuiing Lilt; uaj, ei.L-epi vvueu 1a.11x1.ug ui windy, close window at night and open a door leading into an adjoining room or hall, give them all the pure fresh air possible, but guard against, drafts. Hold temperature of egg chamber at 1Q3, mark eggs -nnd turn them half over twice daily,, bring the eggs from the outer sides of the trays to the cen tre each time, in order to equalize the ,heat, air them down to the same tem perature as your hand; they should not feer cool to the touch; test out on the eleventh day, discard all clear eggs and those having streaks running through them. The eggs do not develop uni formly; most of the eggs you have left will be very opaque, a few will b& doubtful; these are only somewhat tar dy; mark them plainly, give them ex tra heat by placing them on top of the others in the warmest part of the ma chine, and they will soon catch up with their neighbors. After the eleventh day prolong the airing, gradually in creasing the tim?, allow your machine to .stand open five- minutes with the eggs, exercise the eggs at each time of airing by rolling them under the palms of the hands, give them plenty of air and exercise; action js the very life of animal growth. Test a second time on sixteenth day; notice your tardies; if you hive given them a little extra care they will be up with the crowd. They will pip at the close of vthe nineteenth day. Close the ventilators, run at 1 1 tava Tf in no not ODen me macuiue under any circumstances, and in ten or twelve hours they will clean you up a hatch of big strong chicks, that will live through thick and thin. All this talk about weak breeding stock is bosh. It's only an excuse used for the worthless incubators. If the spark of life is present in the egg surround it with proper conditions and it will de velop into a vigorous organism. The faet that the tardy eggs can be hurried along is proof of this. Wood Ashes and Kainit For Potatoes. R. N. H. Evington, writes: "I would like some information as to the value of wood ashes and kainit for potatoes Kainit as you probably know, is potash in its crude form. It is a low grade of potash, as only 12 per cent. is actually available for plant food, and as it is mixed with considerable quantities of salt and chlorides it is not as satisfactory a potato fertilizer as the sulphate. Besides that, it is so low in available" plant food that it is one of the most costly forms in which potash can be used because you will observe that a large amount of virtually waste material is shipped in every ten.. Therefore the cost of pot ash in kainit is relatively higher than in the more concentrated forms. Wood ashes make a satisfactory f er tilizer for gardens and for the potato crop as well. Their value depends a good deal on the source from which they are derived and the treatment they have received. Ashes also con tain considerable amounts of lime and a very small amount of phosphoric acid, so, that they are useful in pro viding other forms of plant food. The average analysis of commercial wood ashes shows them to contain about 5 to 7 per cent, of potash, 1 to 2 per cent. of phosphoric acid and from 25 to 30 per cent, of lime. This, of course, is for the unleached form. Leached ashes frequently contain only 1 per cent, of potash, 1 per -cent, of phosphoric acid and 25 to 30 per cent of lime Where ashes that have been protect ed from the water can be purchased at a low cost they provide potash in a satisfactory form and should be util ized on gardens and in orchards Should one desire to provide fifty pounds of available potash for each acre of land, it would be necessary to use about 500 pounds of wood ashes to the acre. News of the Day.' Governor Bell, of Vermont, has re prieved until June 23 Mrs. Mary M. Rogers, under sentence of death for the murder of her husband. The first step in the great Weight man will contest in Philadelphia, for stakes aggregating $60,000,000, was taken. i "Cadet John C. Kester was badly hurt by the premature explosion' of a gun at the unveiling of a monument at Morgantown, W. Va. . I' STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER, , As to the amount that should be paid for wood ashes," it is only necessary to state that potash can be bought in the form of muriate at about 4 to 5 cents - per pound for available plant food. Therefore 100 pounds, of wood ashes are not worth more than thirty- five cents at the outside. If they can be bought at 15 to 25 cents they can be used to. advantage as a fertilizer. It is for these reasons that in previous communications relative to Irish pota toes the use of sulphate of potash has been -suggested, because it provides plant food in a more concentrated form and also is better suited to the production of an Irish potato of high cooking quality, There is no objec tion to using wood ashes for potatoes. The objection to kainit is not serious, and any of these forms of potassie fertilizers can be used to advantage in the production of general garden crops. Andrew W. Soule. Preparing Iand For Alfalfa. J. K., Farm ville, writes: "I have read and heard much about alfalfa, but have never seen any, as there is none raisedr here. I want to try it, and would like some information as to how to prepare the land, and when is the best time to sow? Also where can the material be obtained' for inoculating the land? Does the soil nave to be in oculated for cowpeas?" Land for alfalfa should be very care fully, prepared. It is well to start a year in advance to get the land ready, and unless it is naturally very deep and porous it should be subsoiled, and sub- soiling is best done in the fall of the year. It is also well to enrich the land by growing a crop of cowpeas and plowing them down before seeding to alfalfa. The seeding may be done ap propriately about the first of Septem ber; not later than this, or the alfalfa will not make a strong enough growth to withstand the freezes of winter. Spring seeding may be practiced about the first to the fifteenth of March, de pending a good deal on climatic con ditions. ,It is generally best- to wait until danger of hard freezing is past. It is well to inoculate ycr alfalfa' be fore seeding. . This ! rnayj be done by obtaining some of the culture put up by the experiment station and sent at a very small cost to the farmers of the State upon application. As a rule, it is not necess'ary to inoculate land in Tennessee for cowpeas or red clover. Sometimes soy beans do much better when inoculated, and the. station hopes to be in position to furnish the farmers of the State with the necessary germs for inoculating soy beans. Knoxville Journal. Value of Lime For Corn. W. E.' G., Charlottesville, Va.. writes: Please tell me how to test land ,to see if lime is needed. Do you think lime would benefit land for corn? .It is an easy matter to test land so as to tell whether it is acid or not. Purchase from your nearest drug store a. package of blue litimus paper which you should be able fito get for five cents. Take a handful of the soil to be tested and moisten with rainwater in a tin cup and insert a strip of the litimus paper. If it turns red quickly it is an evidence that your land is quite acid; if it turns red slowly, that it is only slightly acid. In either case lime should be applied. If it is very acid a heavy application would be ad visable, say fifty bushels, applied in the caustic form. Purchase it when freshly burned and distribute in heaps in the field at suitable distances and cover lightly with' earth and allow to slake. When thoroughly slaked, scat ter it over the surface of the ground uniformly and incorporate with a har row. Lime is not a fertilizer but is a stimulant and a corrective of certain objectionable conditions in the soil. It also sets free plant food which is held in unavailable forms, and may there fore injure the land if used to excess. An application of lime once in three to five years is ample as a rule. Land intended for corn will be benefited by an application of lime. The test indi cated is very easily made and it will pay you to ascertain whether your soil is acid or not, and if it is, to make an application of lime. " Tklalelne a tawn, Four things are required to make a good lawn: Time, soil, climate and in telligent labor. In England they have a saying that it requires 100 years to make a lawn, and 200 years to make a good lawn. In this gauntry, where we are trying tomaW suburban homes while you wait, and where a month or two seems a very long time, people are too impatient. It speaks well for their ambition that they want lawns as soon as they move into their houses, but they are really exacting too much. At the very best, it requires no less than three years to make a presentable lawn, and five or ten years to make what we uncritical Americans call a good lawn, The Garden Magazine.

GOVERNMENT UQEL 1 HISTORIC CHICKAMAUGA PARK ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION. United State Srsfem of LlrhHnr Mill - tary Pout Prononneed Graff fyinely Suocesful JUx and j One-Hlf Miles of MIn Sixty-Five Street X.iht. Chickamauga Park, Ga., May 31. The United States Government has here In operation one of the largest acety lene gas plants in the worid. The mil itary post at the enfance o( the his torical Chickamauga oattlefield, where thirty thousand Union and Confederate soldiers were lost in the memorable battle of September 19 and 20, 18G3, contains about one hundred buildings, the seventy-fiveiprineipal ones of which are lighted with acetylene. To accom plish this six and one-half miles of mains and- two miles of service pipes are in use, while sixty-five street lamps brilliantly illuminate the avenues of the post. f In 1903 the War Department ' In stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort Meyer, Virginia. The results were so gratifying and the superiority of the illuminant so evident that the Govern ment, March 20, 1004, placed the con tract for the Chickamauga plant, in which every citizen of the United States should have his pro rata of pride. But the Government has not confined its acceptance of acetylene to this mili tary post. Since becoming satisfied of the efficiency, superiority and econom ical advantages of this particular il luminant, the United States has in stalled a number of plants in Indian schools and other, Government insti tutions. Acetylene gas is one of the simplest as well as the most perfect of artificial lights. It Is made by the contact of water and carbide (a manufactured product for sale at a nominal price)," is absolutely safe and gives a beautiful white light soothing to the eyes and nerves.' It can be produced anywhere in the farm home, the village store, the town hall, the church and is so easilysmaintained as to be practical for all classes. If is a matter for national congratu lation that in beautifying so historic a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the best, including the lighting system, has been deemed good enough for the American people. Train Too Fast for Coyotes. The recent chase of a wolf by a train on the Cheyenne & Northern railroad north of Cheyenne was dis counted near here when engine 1657, hauling a special fast freight, . raD down and killed two coyotes. The an imals were trotting along on the track over a section of the country that was deep in snow. At the approach of the train the coyotes attempted to jump from the track but the high banks of snow prevented this, so they tried to run away from the iron horse. For over six miles the race continued be fore the coyotes ' were run down and killed. Denver Republican.

The following letter was written "by Mrs. Kellogg, of 1628 Lincoln Ave., Denver. 3olo. ,to Mrs. Pink- ham. Lynn.Mass. T: Dear Mrs. Pinkhara : "For five years I was troubled with a tumor, which keut great mental depression. I was unable to at tend to my house work, and life became a bur den to me. I was confined for da ys to mv bed. lost my appetite, my courage and all hope. i coma no Dear to uunk or an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. ' The Compound continued to build ut mv general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman . I am so thankful for my recovery that I- ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other women may Know of the wonderful curative Compound." J When women are troubled with irreg ular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feel ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back ache, flatulence, general debility, indi gestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound at once removes such trouble. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali fied endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine: Mrs. Pinkhara invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Health is too valuable to risk in ex periments with unknown and untried medicines or methods of treatment. Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don't allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place.

Testifying before the Senate Com mittee at Washington, Interstate Com merce Commissioner Prouty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate rail way rates: "I think the railways should make their own rates. I think They should be allowed to develop their own busi ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the hands of any commis sion or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some States at the present time, while it is done in some countries, I am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it deprives the railroad company of its, property pro tanto. It is not necessary that yon should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent, or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently un reasonable, you have deprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court' of the United States has jurisdiction under the four teenth amendment to restrain that. I have looked at these case's a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a railroad company is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of a commission, if any statute of a State Legislature takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway com pany."
