The following is from the Southern Farm Magazine: *'As pointers of possibilities of profits in the poultry business, the Florida Times-Union says that in Volusia county, Florida, there were last year 41,802 chickens, 9S9 turkeys, 522 ducks and 351 geese, and the number of eggs produced wa3 389,190 dczeD, valued at $60,614 One ranch of 1,000 hens produced 10,000 dozen eggs, all of which were sold under contract at 30 cents a dozen the year round. One man in Hillsboro county shipped during February 4,020 dczen eggs, which " netted him $987 55. Still the TimesUnion points cut thousands of dozens of eggs shipped into Florida every month. . There are many States in the country not producing eggs equal to the demand or equal to their possibilities in the hen line." "What is done in Florida can be done here. We may not be able to Bell eggs at 30 cents a dczen the year round, but there is always a market for chickens and eggs, and at a fair price. CPlant the Sorghum Fatches. Edgefield Advertiser. The people generally, not only farmers but others who have stock to [feed, are just becoming awakened to the fact that sorghum ranks easily among the beet varieties of cheap stock food. Best because horses and mules thrive well upon it when not worked, and cheapest because it can be grown with but little labor and by reason of the great quantity that can be grown on a small area. The horses love it, the cows love it and as for the children and pigs they I fatten on it. The wise and provident owner of stock will plant largely j of sorghum. Small areas should be ! planted at intervals. Then an abundance of ripe, juicy, sweet forage can Via fori till froct whfln it r?*n he hniiH- 1 ed for winter. Those who have tried it will be certain to plant largely and those who have not tried it should do so. Sunday, April 24:h, was the 10-.h anniversary of the destruction of the plant of he Dispatch by fire and by the same destructive element the home of its Editor was laid in asher. That morniDg was a sad and trying one for this writer.

Not a time, however, did he lose confidence in his people in that time of sore distress, and he is proud to be able tosay that that confidence was not | misplaced. He feels deeply grateful j to the people of Lexington for the j generous support they have given him through all these long years j He has striven hard to deserve that ! patronage and now when the evenicg \ i shades are gathering round it is a j I source of great comfort and pleasure j | to him to feel that hi3 life has not ; 1 been spent in vain. Again thanking j J the people cf Lexington, his native i county, for their patronage in the past be promises to labor in the fu- j ture for their best interests as he sees j it and will endeavor to make the Dismtch a b3tter Daner in the future i ?. .. than it has been in the past.

This tale was told by Governor PeDnypacker, (in beginning a response at a Pennsylvania German banquet in Philadelphia. The story, he said, showed the readiness of the Pennsylvania - Dutchman to obey those in authority: Ia 1864 Sheridan, under orders, burned every farm bouse from a valley above Staunton to a certain point below Winchester. A band of angry rebels followed this raid, watching for a chance to pick up any ^stragglers. Among others who fell into their hands was a little Pennsyivenia Dutchman, who quietly turned to his captors and inquired: ''Vat you fellows going to do mit I met" "Hang you.M I "Vel," he said meekly, "vatever is de rule/' His good natured reply threw the Confederates into a roar cf laughter and saved his life. ? - All Druggists do not hesitate ro recommend Kodol Dvsjx'psia (dirt' ro their friends and customers.
