i A New Version.
Lawyers have a peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
.executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and adir. ors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part of a
solicitor who, somewhat.late in life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega
tion while reading the lesson by deliv
ering one of the passages as follows:
**I see men as trustees walking."

A Bernhardt, Trick.,
Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently call
ed upon in one of her marvelous crea
tions to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust In view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap
sodies over the technical skill in han
dling the clay which Mme. Bernhardt
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modeled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modeled
head underneath. ?

Spurs For Poultrymen;
Prepare for green food for the win
ter and spring. Sow plenty of rye
with a little rape mixed with it.
If the poultry house has not yet
been built, don't forget to have it
completed by the first of November.
Where fowls are closely yarded, a
frew onions cut fine every week or ten
days will help to keep their systems
'in good condition. /
If' pure bred fowls have not' been
secured, be in the market at once for
some good winter layers, and be
ready to start right next spring.
Provide dust box, or keep a por
tion of ground loosened up after beat
ing rains, so the hen. can do her part
to keep rid of lice and mites.
Do not allow chicks to roost in
damp places, or scratch in moldy lit
ter. Roup. canker, chicken-pox and
other diseases lurk in such places.
If mites ;are ..still in the poultry
house, reduce the flock to where
every bird can be handled and
greased and dusted, and the poultry
house saturated with kerosene, tak
ing especial care to Bee that the oil
penetrates thoroughly underneath the
roost poles. It will save much work
and loss next season if this is done
now.
See;that you, do not keep any old
hens over the winter Just for layers.
If a sufficient amount of pullets have
not been raised, better sell the old
hens and buy pullets. It's the pullets
hatched early (and these can be
raised only with good winter laying
hens) and young hens that lay best
in winter.
Cabbage seed sown in early Octo
ber will be ready to transplant in a
little more than a month, and this
makes fine food for chicks and older
fowls in spring and early summer,
after rye is tough. Try some. Give
a good mulch of coarse stable manure
1 to plants after they are worked once,
and your work is done till spring.
For roup, canker, bumblefoot or
other troubles where there are ulcer
ated sores, we have found nothing to
equal "creolin." The past season we
had nothing but the bumblefoot to
experiment on, but this remedy
worked charmingly. We bathed the
feet in warm water, to which had
been added an antiseptic tablet, then
lanced the ulcer and bathed again,
then put on a few drops of undiluted
creolin, and bandaged the foot and
repeated the above in a few days. In
a short time it was well'. We have
discarded the use of, lime, only as a
whitewash, in the poultry house, as
we believe lt tends to cause sore feet,
and sometimes to cause inflammation
of eyes and throat.' Have lbw roosts
also/ to help prevent bumblefoot.

Choosing Best Layers.
There are a great many methods,
advertised In various pamphlets and
papers stating that, if you will prac
tice this or that method of selecting
as laid down In the paper, you will b.?
able to determine the drones from the
workers. ?The writer has tried a few
of these so-called certainties, and has
come to the conclusion the trap nest
is the only accurate test. It is by se
lection and keeping records that ad
vancement is made along this line.
Each hen has her own individual
ity; certain hens lay eggs that are in
nine cases out of ten hatchable. Some
hens lay well, but altaough their
eggs are usually fertile, they will not
hatch, whether set under a hen or
placed in the best incubator. The
chicks develop to a certain size, in
many cases being fully formed, but
die in the' shell. Again, many hens
lay eggs that are seldom fertile.
In selecting birds one has several
objects. The saying "that the hen
that lays is the hen that pays" is of
ten 'heard. The majority engaged in
the poultry business consider egg pro
duction the best end of the business.
It is often the surest. There is not
the same amount of risk attached to
lt. At the same time, if people are
foolish enough to believe that Mr. So
and-so 'can supply J eggs from hens,
t?Bted by the so-called new system,
Which have produced 300 eggs per
annum, they have more faith in the
advertiser and the hen than the wri
ter has.
There is no doubt that certain
characters should be looked for in a
good laying hen. She should be low
set, and stand on a pair of shanks set
fairly wide apart. The head should
be nice and clean cut, with a full
bright eye. In other words, hens
should show feminine character, and
not wrinkled features. Hens of the
latter type should be discarded; in
short, masculinity in the hen is a bad
sign. A hen with a large capacity for
food has a large crop, is usually a
payable bird to feed. The smaller the
sack of food she takes to roost at
night the fewer eggs will she produce.

Gowneas and Alfalfa.
My old friend, Colonel R. J. Red
ding, writes in the Atlanta Constitu
tion very entertainingly about peas
and alfalfa, and in a general way he
seems to / agree ' with me that the
1 South needs peas and crimson clover
worse than alfalfa in the .present con
dition of the soils in the cotton belt.
Colonel Reddingthlnks that I claim
too much credit for bringing the cow
pea aad its value more emphatically
to the attention of the Southern farm
ers, and saj-s that eighteen years ago
he read a paper before the Georgia
Agricultural Society at Augusta on
the cowpea and its relation to South
ern agriculture.
Well, Colonel, we will not dispute
about this, for like Schley at Santiago
there is glory enough for all. who
work for the uplifting of the South
ern farming. I was talking cowpeas,
writing cowpeas and growing cowpeas
more than twenty years ago. I grew
cowpeas when my fields were a curi
osity In Virginia Piedmont, where
nearly every one grows them now.
Twenty years ago, when I went to
North Carolina from. Virginia, I
thought that there I would see many
fields of peas,, but, to my surprise, I
found only a. few farmers planting
them among their corn and gathering
the seed to sell to the sugar planters
In Louisiana. They never s?emed to
imagine that a great forage crop
waited the man who would sow large
fields.1 Our Southern ; farmers had
been so accustomed to the pea that
they had not considered it as the
greatest hay crop of the South, but
were ready fo try any far-fetched
thing or weed that came along.
It was then that I took up the
cause of the cowpea in earnest, and
have been gi?d they have the second
ing of men like Colonel Redding, so
that now the Southern farmers are
waking up to the great value of the
crop they had been neglecting or
mere planting in a haphazard sort of
wav. >
Alfalfa seems especially adapted to'
the great Western plains, and cow
peas and crimson clover to ?the South,
and tt is far better for every section
to devote more attention to the forage
that is suited to its conditions than
to try to grow those that demand
other conditions. I would not dis
courage anyone from growing a piece
of alfalfa, but in the general' farming
of the South I do not believe that it
can ever take the place of the cowpea
in summer and crimson clover in win
ter. It is a crop by itself rather than
one for an improving rotation in the
South.
Grow a pet lot in alfalfa, if you
choose, but put your reliance for hay
on the clover of the South-the cow.

White Plymouth Kock?.
White fowls, because of their strik
ing appearance and the ? ease with
which they are bred to a hjga state of
perfection, have become very popular
during the past few years.
The White Rocks and White Wy
andottes especially are the favorites
of those- who fancy a solid colored
fowl. White Rocks, except in color,
are counterparts of the Barred branch
of the family, and like them, they are
ideal fowls for family or market.
They are large and are good layers,
and always find a ready sale. Their
eggs are large and have dark shells,
and always attract attention.
Altogether White Plymouth Rocks
have enough meat to keep them in
the front ranks of America's best
breed of poultry..
Suggestion For Chicks.
Keep nlenty of fresh water, clean
grit and charcoal before chicks at all
times. Keep brooders and coops
clean. Feed dry feed and not too
much of it, and give plenty of exercise
and your chicks will be healthy. Be
regular in attending io your poultry.
Have a time for everything, and be
sure you are on time, just to the min
ute. Always be on the alert for lice,
for this Is your worst enemy. They
lower the vitality of both young and
old fow{s. Keep' chicks dry. Expos
ure to wet brings on catarrh troubles,
while drinking from stagnant pools or
filthy drinking vessels invites diar
rhoea or cholera. - Farmers' Home

To Improve Roads in Alaska.
The report of Major. W. P. Rich?
irdson, of the United States Army?
who ls' at the head of the Alaska road
commission, contains a suggastion
which, if properly carried out, may
be of benefit. '
The mining laws of the United
States, and applicable to 'Alaska, re
quire that when a mine is located on
Government land, development work
ahall be performed to the extent of
at least $100 per year until the patent
be issued. This work ls required as a
demonstration of the continuous good
faith of the locator, and to prevent
the tying up of properties for an In
definite time.
Major Richardson's. suggestion is
that such development work be per
mitted to be done pn roads leading
'to such . mines at the option of the
locator. In many Instances the con
struction of a road to the property
costs as much as opening the mine,
and the road must be built before the
mine can become operative. Besides,
the development of the mine can be
accomplished at a greatly lessened
cost if there be a good road leading
to the property.
sIn the transition, from a prospect to
a mine a road necessarily plays an
Important part. The carrying out of
the suggestions of Major Richardson
will require legislation by Congress.

lowing:
"The duck is a low, heavy set bird
composed mostly of meat and feath
ers. He is a mighty poor singer, hav
ing a hoarse voice, caused by getting
so many frogs in his neck. He likes
the water and carries a toy balloon In
his stomach to keep from sinking.
The duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his rnnnif*;
gears by nature that they come pret
ty near missing his body. Some ducks
when they get big have curls on their
tails and are called drakes. Drakes
don't have to set or hatch, but just
loaf and go swimming and eat every
thing in sight.\ If I was to be a duck
I would rather be a drake."

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP
Domestic Secret Disclosed When the
Quest Could Not Be Served
With Pie.
She was a woman of resource and
ability and when her husband arrived
for dinner with an unexpected guest
she thought she had devised, a way
to meet the fact that s bo had but one
piece of pie in the house and bad in
tended her husband should have that.
She Instructed /him that when she
sent to the kitchen for dessert he was
to say he could not possibly eat any
more than he had eaten and then the
pie could be brought to her guest
without his surmising that there was
but one piece In the house.
This, might have worked out all
right if the pie had not been so ex
ceedingly good and her husband had
not known this because he had lt for
dinner the day before.
When the maid cleared away the
dinner dishes the master of the house
said he had no room for dessert.
The guest said he felt the same way.
Then, when the master thought it was,
. safe to do so he changed his mind
take dessert. The pie was brought.
When it was half eaten the guest
said it looked so good he thought he,
too, would indulge.
"No, you won't," said the hostess,
and she told the tale of the pie.
LEG ? MASS OF HUMOR
"About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg,
just above my ankle. It irritated me
so that I began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
I would have to scratch lt until I had
the blood running down into my shoe.
I simply cannot describe my suffer

cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cutictira Remedies .'or a little
while I began to seo a cuunge, and
after taking a dozen bottles*of Cuti
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint

peared and my leg was as fine as the'
day I was born. Now after a lapse of
six months witjh co signs of a recur

good the CuLicura Remedies have done
for me. I sl:all always recommend
them to my friends. W. H. White,

"Doctor," cried little Bingle, over
his telephone, "my wife has lost her
voice. What the dickens shall I do?"
"Why," said the doctor, gravely, "if
I were you I'd remember the fact
when Thanksgiving .day comes around,
and act accordingly."
Whereupon the doctor chuckled as
he charged Bingle two dollars for
professional services.-Harper's Week

1 Georgia Han Tells His Ex
perience.
I was afflicted with a very bad case
of Eczema for twenty-five years,
which was In my feet, legs and hips.
Through all this time I tried different
remedies and Doctors' prescriptions,
obtaining no relief until I used your
HUNT'S CURE.
One box (50c) cured me entirely,
and though two years have elapsed I.
have had no return of the trouble.
Naturally I regard it as the greatest
remedy in the world.
