Here is a simple and civ ilized method for breaking up a broody hen- "When a hen becomes broody let her sit for a few days in order to give her system time to recuperate and at the same time making it eas ier to get her out of the- habit when she is once' taken in hand for treat ment. After she has had her few days' stay on the nest put her -in an airy and roomy coop, the bottom of which is made of strips, with plenty of air space so as to permit ample circulation. Suspend this coop in the air, thus permitting plenty of air from the bottom. Feed lightly, but supply with fresh water. The hen knows' only too well that she must have warmth from ftelow in order to hatch anything and she Will soon realize that her case is hopeless and give it up as a bad job."

' An Improved Torrens System THEN there is also the Torrens sys tem of registering land title's a plan whereby the land-owner instead of having to pay over and over again to have his' title examined every time he gets a loan, makes a mort gage or sells a tract would have it examined once for all, and an official title given him good for all time to come and in as convenient form as the capitalist's share of stock in a corporation. . ' There is this improvement, how ever, as a'dvocated by Prof. Harry Clarke, that I'believe should be adop ted in the Torrens system. Instead of having to pay for the examination of all titles even once, let every land owner who wishes to do so come into coop with a good disinfectant.

Alabama, Missis sippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Lou isiana, and in South Carolina also in point of acreage. Why is this? Will anybody say it is because the Negro farmers are superior to white farmers in intelligence? No. Because they are superior in industry? No. Be cause they are superior in character? No. They are gaining for none of these reasons. They are gaining sim ply because present conditions give the Negro two unfair advantages in competition with the white man. First, an unfair economic advantage in that the Negroes are able to' buy land and make crops on a scale of living, clothing and housing that the respectable white' farmer and his fam ily doing the same character of work cannot meet. Second, a social advantage in that when Necrroes' move into a white neighborhood, or begin to outnumber the whites in. a neighborhood,or be come vof bad. character, the . whites may be forced to move away. because there is no longer an adequate white social life, or adequately supported white schools and churches," or else for the greater security-of .white farmer's wife "and daughters. : V .
