The machines to 'be displayed at Knoxville by the Wright Brothers will move from this city to Knoxville over the lines of the C. N. 0. and T.

Some people impress us as never making enemies because it'.s too much trouble. You can't flatter a homely woman by telling her she is clever unless she isn't. Half the people who are disap pointed in love never realize it till after they are married. The only time a man is reasonably sure his wife will listen to him is when he talks in his sleep. Never nurse a disaopemtment un less you are prepared to have it grow and stay with you for life. It seems as though women's styles change so often merely to keep men's noses down to the grindstone.

Fen- tar JfUburn Co., Buffalo, N. T. mm 3TP mm Tonltry in the South. Looking upon the beautiful fields of Dixie land to-day and carrying the memory back to the hard times of the sixties, it is wonderful to note the great changes that have taken place over this lovely land of ours Then it was when the ambitious Sher idan encouraged ty the persistent Grant laid waste to the filled barns and garners along the banks of the murmuring Shenandoah. Watching upon the hill tops groups of women and children could be seen looking at the last supply of food go up into smoke. It was then we looked upon a poor and bleeding South, eiistlng only from the crumbs that were left from the once loaue:! tables of the pleasure loving Southerner's home How our hearts would heave and swell as we looked at the tired and weary trooper slowly winding his way toward his once happy home, now all in ruins, wife and children almost starving, one or more of its dear inmates passed into the mystic beyond, and every hope in vain A half century has passed into eternity and a new world has opened in this sunny land, 'a new energy springing up among its people far more and better things. Therefore it is my desfre to impress upon my readers that' they should not lose sight of the great possibilities of the poultry industry in this great coun try, where the climate and soil are ideal for its success. A business that stands out as one of the great in dustries of our country, The Southerner who wishes to gain the top round in the poultry industry in the South to-day, must put forward every effort and carefully consider the promoting of th following- Breed better birds, organize and maintain larger and better shows. If this is carefully followed the writer firmly believes that the South could be made to lead the world with poul try. While we find many fine birds in the South, the greater majority of our poultrymen content themselves with inferior stock. This should be discouraged as it does not bring tho desired results and it costs just as much to feed and care for such birds as it does the best. The cost may be a little more to start, but the results will be greater in the end, as the call to-day is for more and better birds. One of the most important features of the fancy poultry business and one that has helped to push the work to its present field can be attributed to the poultry shows of our land. They have been the means of bringing about many sales of fowls at wonder fully large figures, and they will con tinue to help advance the poultry in terests, if conducted along the proper lines. Every interested breeder should be connected with one or moro local organizations and encourage it every year by extending any support that it may need. The show will help to open up more markets for your products and assure you of better suc cess, as every large poultry section has its shows largely attended each year. In conclusion, every good South erner interested in poultry should be up and doing, in this pleasant and . . fhft ., - - " a - tlon. National Poultry Journal Plans to Utilize the Idle Lands. Idle lands, like idle people, are aeldom benefited by their idleness. At least, it is certain that land may be improved faster by growing some useful crop every year than by lying idle part, or all of the time. More over, we have thousands of acres that, because -of insufficient drainage or lack of fertility, are not yielding profitable crops, and thousands , of other acres yielding absolutely noth ing. These lands represent an invest ment and must pay taxes, therefore by yielding nothing they consume some of the profits of the cultivated land.' This land should bring Its owner some revenue. That which will yield a fair profit in the growth of timber should be given sufficient attention and protection from fires to enable us to profit -on our investment. There are thousands of acres of fertile land that have been turned out and al- I lowed to grow up to brush and weeds that with a little attention could be made to produce good profits in the growth of grasses for pasture or hay. These lands are along the creeks and rivers and have not paid in cultivated crops because of overflows or lack of drainage. They would, however, pro duce good grass and save us from buy- j ing forage or from sending to the North for hay. Let us plan to utilize them. We need the forage or grazing which they will produce. Again there are large areas of up-! Iand3 that have been turned out be cause of soil depletion. These lands , CALOMEL SPURS That a good dose of calomel is as good, for a sick tree as for a sick man is the curious doctrine worked out by William Morrison, station agent at Lincoln, Del., who claims practical results to prove his asser tion. Morrison has a large plum trre in front of his house, which is supposed to be about twenty-five years eld. For years the tree has borne but few plums, never over one or two quarts. A faithful believer in calomel for the would yield a handsome profit on their value and the expense of put ting them in condition for grazing cat tle and other live stock. Not only is this so, but in a few years if the brush and briers are kept down they will be in condition to again yield profitable cultivated crops. National Poultry Journal. Alfalfa. Mrs. R. S. C, Corkville, Ga. 1 have planted a patch of about one half acre in alfalfa, and want to know if I must pasture it any the first year; or how many times I must mow it, and at what time. If I am successful with it this year, hope to plant five or 6ix acres of fine river bottoms an other year. Any information as to the cultivation of this plant will be highly appreciated. Answer You certainly should not pasture your alfalfa the first year if ever. It is a plant that does not stand pasturing the "best in the world," and it will yield a great deal more if cut and fed, or made into hay, than if pastured. It should be cut as soon as it commerces to bloom and as often as that stage is reached in succession. The soil for alfalfa should be very rich and clean of weed seeds. Lime is an important con stituent of the soil, and if not a strong lime soil it should have a dressing of five to ten buckets or more of air slaked lime per acre every two or .three years. In February of each year it is advisable to apply 600 to 800 pounds of 10 4 acid and potash per acre and run over the surface crosswise and diagonally two or three times with a cutaway harrow, fol lowed, if convenient, by a smoothing' harrow. This tends to destroy weeds and grass and splits the crowns of many of the plants, increasing .their vigor. Weeds are the great pest of an alfalfa field, arid dodder ("love vine") is bad also. In buying seed one should be careful to get such as are guaranteed to contain no seeds of dodder. R. J. Redding, in Atlanta Constitution. The Tick Problem. The tick problem has deterrec many in the past undertaking to in troduce improved sires, because m6st of them have to be bought north of the quarantine line. We would, by all means, advocate tick eradication, though in some instances the farmers are not ready to take up this impor tant phase of the work. The next best thing is to immunize the suscep tible animals against tick fever before they are taken to the farms. This can readily be done, and statistics show that where the work is properly done between eight and nine per cent, of the cattle so treated are affected when ticks get on them, whereas more than fifty per cent, of them will be killed by the ticks if this precau tion Is not taken. . Through the de partment of veterinary medicine the State College of Agriculture is in a position to render this service to the people of the State and the only charge will be the feed bill during the time the treatment is given. What is true In regard to cattle breeding would be equally applicable to horse breeding. As stated above, the college Is in a position to render all assistance necessary in organizing clubs, purchasing the sires and estab lishing this work in any section of the State where a desire for this assist ance is expressed. We have already started work of similar, character in many places, and are anxious to pros ecute it as rapidly as possible and get these breeders', clubs organized in every section of the State for all classes of live stock. Milton P. Jar- nagin, University of Georgia, In At lanta Constitution. It Pays to Caponize. A capon bear3 the same relation to a rooster as a steer to a bull, and as bull meat is not equal to steer meat, so are roosters not equal to capons. When cockerels become capons they cease to grow combs and wattles, do not crow and fight, grow much faster and finer flesh and bring more money than ordinary chickens. If a cock weighs ten pounds, a ca pon will weigh fifteen, and bring three to four time3 the price, $125 often be ing paid for 100 capons. ' It certainly pays to caponize sur plus cockerels. A set of tools, with full instructions for using, costs $2.50 and only ordinary skill is required. For caponizing, cockerels must be less than six weeks old and weigh a pound or more. Exercise For Chicks. Exercise is absolutely , necessar with brooder chicks, or else bowel trouble and cases of indigestion will surely result. Use plenty of short, clean litter, in which scatter dry bread crumbs, millet seed, cracked wheat and very fine cracked corn. Farm- ers' Home Journal- IDLE TREES. ills of men, Morrison determined to try his favorite remedy on the tree, and last fall bored a hole in the tree and into this hole inserted a specn- fnl of the medicine, and then ged the hole up tight. plug The result has been wonderful, for the tree, that hardly bore enouiC plums to give it a name, has1 several hundred quarts of fruit now ripening on its limbs. Morrison will begin a regular treat ment for the decaying tree. From the Pulpit. The unique manner in which a por tion of a Missouri county obtained good roads will be of especial interest In Georgia, with sentiment for that Issue at floodtide. It is not often that the aid of the pulpit is invoked in the cause of highway improvement, but that agen cy ha3 set Jefferson Township, in No daway County, to unusual activity, according to the Kansas City Star. For several years Rev. Father F. P. Placid, pastor of the Catholic church at the Benedictine monastery, near Conception, Mo., preached to his peo ple that the building of good ronds constituted not only a civic, but a Christian duty. He pointed out in a series cf ser mons that bad or impassable thor oughfares caused farmers to stay at home on Sundays, which militated strongly against the uniform observ ance of their religious duties. He did not, however, confine his efforts to oral argument. And this is how our contemporary describes the manner In which the monastery with which he was affiliated set the near by farmers a practical object lesson: "The monastery owns a section of fine land and several fine draft horses. The fathers didn't purpose to have I their horses struggle along bad roads , every time they desired to drive to town or to market In the rainy sea son, or just after a rain in any sea son. The fathers tsgan by grading the road from the monastery, Old Conception, to Conception, a distance of three mile3. Then they chained two pieces of railroad iron together, and after a rain they dragged the road several times. That was ssvcral year3 ago. They have kept it up con sistently ever since. The result is a road as smooth as a boulevard. There have been heavy rains in that ssction for a week; the creeks and branches are out of their banks and it is not possible for a horse to wade through the mud In some sections of that county or township. It is different with the three miles of road leading from the monastery, to Conception. The week's rain, the heaviest of the year, has had little effect on the road, and it Is possible for a team of horses pulling a loaded wagon to trot along this superior thoroughfare." Such initiative on part of the mon astery had its logical effect upon the landowners of the surrounding terri tory. The roads are now dragged on an average of ten times a year, at a tri fling expense after the first operation. The deadly rut has disappeared and from year's end to year's end the highways are passable to heavy loads hauled by one or two mules. The farmers view the movement as one of the best investments in their, exper ience and the fever has spread to other sections of the county. Substantially, the interest of the clergy of Georgia in good roads is equal to that of the clergy of Missouri. Already many preachers of various denominations in this State have spo ken a good word for the crusade that has so wonderfully Inspired the in dustry of all classes of Georgians. Persistent agitation in this direction would not only exert a salutary influ ence on religious phases of commu nity life; it would, as well, be reflect ed in commercial and industrial as pects. And the preachers are citizens a? well as preachers. Atlanta Consti tution. Cost of Neglect. It costs for transporting wheal :y steamer from New York to Liverpool, 3100 miles, one-sixth less per bushel than it costs the farmer to haul his wheat 9.4 miles. These facts and fig ures show the vast importance of road improvement and justify the Government of the United State3 in experimenting with a view to improv ing the roads of the country and stimulating the' interest of farmers in the work. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. State Control Favored. State control of highway buildir-s, the making of surveys, establishing grades and maintaining a uniform system of roads; the power to enforce the building of highways in certain localities, and the authority to actu ally build them where the whole State would be equally benefited, are among the twentieth century requirements of State governments in the movement (or good roads. Kansas City Star. Automobiles Gave Stimulus. The automobile is an established fact, and it must be treated as a fact and provision made for it. It has giv en the present great impulse to road Improvement in the United States, and this is a debt that the farmer, the chief enemy of the automobile, owe to it. Baltimore Sun.

That the boy who wants to learn to dig a ditch, harness a horse, use & plow or milk a cow would go in vain to the collegts of agriculture in the country, Dick Crosby, of Washing ton, D. C, a specialist in agricultural education, told the department of ru ral and agricultural education of the National Education Association re cently. There are 300 more secon dary schools and colleges teaching ag riculture than there were 18 months ago, he said, but they teach theory only. Prof. G. F. Warren, of Cornell University, expressed the opinion that the farmer without an agricultural education was headed for the poor house. He quoted figures to show that ten college bred farmers averag ed $847 yearly income, against an av erage of only $318 for the farmers whose education had bee'i limited to the district school. Most of the teachers used to say, he said, that any fool could farm. Now they say agriculture is too difficult for higl schools. Industrial education docs not mean educational revolution, declared Ar thur K. Dean, of the New York state education department, addressing the department of manufacturing. "A portion of agriculture and. industrial practice can be expressed in mathe matical form." He told the depart ment that employers must permit boys and girls to atterd school for tho sake of the preservation of Amer ican citizenship.
