AMERICAN WRITING MACHINE COMPANY ?48 North Pryor St. Atlanta, Georgia A WIND UP INSTITUTE AT CLEMSON COLLEGE Farmers 0f the State iu.!'.???! to Attend Farmers Institute at Clemson Col lege from August 8th to 11th. The reports of the last census have shown that the State of South Caro lina has boeu making wonderful pro gress along agricultural lines in the last ten years. This progress or credit for this progress of course cannot be claimed by any one agency, but It shows most plainly what can be ac complished by united effort. Clemson College Is not behind in this respect, and has inaugurated one of the4 most aggressive agricultural Campaigns over the State this sum mer that has been conducted in a long while. For the last month a Clemson Winthrop Demonstration Train has filled engagements every day in differ ent sections of the State and will con tinue until the first week in August. In addition to the work of this train the coming Saturday, July 15, will witness the opening of a farmers' In stitute campaign. Points not reached by the train will be thoroughly cov ered by institute parties. Four sepa rate and distinct parties will be put into the held, covering within the tiext three weeks some ilftv-fouv points at which institutes will be held. Then, as last year, it is proposed to hold a wind-up institute at Clemson College, commencing August 8 and continuing through August 11 inclu sive. An interesting program is being ar ranged, most of It to partake more of the nature of demonstration work thau of speaking, and a large and enthusi astic crowd of farmers is expected to be present. Good speakers have been secured from various sections of the South and no one can fail to reap a large benefit from attendance upon tins institute. Reduced railroad rates have been requested and due notice of their granting will be given in plenty of time for all to plan their expenses. The cost at the College will be one dol lar a day for meals. The use of the beils will be given free, but all who come are requested to bring such bed ding as they require together with their own towels. The College is able to furnish beds for about 800 people. In order that we may have some idea of how to prepare for and also that those who come may be assured that they will receive a bed. we are re questing all to notify us in advance. Every man who notifies us in advance, up to the number of 800, will be fur nished a bed. Should more than that number come, which we do not think over likely, especially If we are not notified, they should not be dissatis fied if they are not so comfortable. The program starts promptly at two o'clock on Tuesday, the 8th, and we are particularly anxious that all who can should come not later than that morning. Th$ exercises will close In time on Friday for those specially anxious to reach home to leave on the noon trains. Come prepared to spend the whole time with us and enjoy the work. Prof. D. N. Harrow.

TWELVE-DOLLAR HEN HOUSE Sorvlceable Shelter Is Constructed Out of 3od, Straw, Corn Fodder and Earth. What results would you expect from 75 hens wintered In a coop of this cost? I had 75 May-hatched pullets in winter, says a writer In Rural Now Yorker. I built a coop 12x18 feet, inside measurement. Tho material was sod for the sides; tho roof was straw, covered with corn fodder; the floor. Nature's deodorizer, natural earth. I first selected a well sheltered location, then proceeded by setting Twelve-Dollar Hen House. three crotches, each crotch set three feet deep. This for the peak of my j roof. Next I Bet ordinary six-foot fence posts on sides four feet apart, two feet deep, leaving sides of coop four feet high, plenty high enough for sides of any coop. Then I spiked poles on to thoso fenco posts on top, and nailed on small poles on side posts; laid poles In those center crotches, then laid poles from post plate to crotch poles for rafters, and my frame was complete. I put In a window framo of plank on south side 2x8 feet, covered same with muslin curtain (no glass); put door In east end. I cut' sod and sodded up sides; put a Uttlo brush crosswise for rafter poles, cover ed with straw and shingled with corn fodder. Tho foundation of my coop Is raised slightly so water runs away from It. which Is very Important. So my labor and all would amount to about $12. I put pull?ts In coop In December and they so< I began laying. In January, February, March and April 1 averaged close to flvo dozen eggs per day. My Income was a little bet ter than one dollar per day, clear of food; and they have continued laying woll all summer till molting this fall. Now they uro through the moll and are going right Into tho egg producing business again. HANGING ROOST FOR CHICKS Suspended From Celling by Means of Wires They Are Convenient In Cleaning Houses. It is often convenient to have roosts hung from the ceiling of the poultry house In ordor to facilitate cleaning. ' In the style Illustrated herewith, the j roosts themselves are laid on a frame as shown, says Farm and Home. At { each end the roosts are notched so as to fit In notches on the two polos and thus prevent slipping. The whole thing Is hung by four stout wires from the center of the pen so as to be within 2 feet of tho floor; or It may be hung toward ono coi ner. In Hanging Roost. this case, nt least 2 feet should bo allowed between the frame and (he wall so the attendant can easily walk all around. For cleaning, the roost? may bo disconnected and carrh-d out of doors Preferably also, tho polos Should resl lit loops of the wire, so that the whole thing may ho removed without difficulty, A load of coarse sand Is good for the chtckons. ? Yin sure th? houses aro all free from lice and filth. If you want your hens to lay during tho cold months they must ba given food rich In egg material. Cures of poultry troubles He In pre venting sickness In the flock and not In curing the disease or disorder. Hens fed on one kind ut grain ex Muslvely will not lay as satisfactory as those that have been fed a varietv of grains. Oats make an excellent gram for laying hens. They furnish the essen tial food element without Increasing the fat on the hen. Olve the hens good feed, clean wa ter, a good duet bath and oleaa. alr?, comfortable quarters, and the) egg sup ply la reasonably certain Separate the cockerels from the put eta. They are of no earthly use, but on the contrary ao harm. They should be caponlaed or sent to market Alfalfa hay. If out In the bloom. Is fine for chickens to pick ovar during the winter months. Thay will get more at less cost from ground alfalfa. If your chicken-house faces north. board> up the openings and transfer them to the south side and make them big enough to allow the sunshine to flood the floor. * NEWS FROM JONES. * Jone?, July 17.?Mrs. Mary Smith of Laurens recently visited Mrs. Dr. W.

To cure this terri ble disease this acid must be expelled] ami the system so regulated that no more acid will be formed in exces sive quantities. Rheumatism is an in ternal disease and requires an inter-1 mil remedy.

Liniments may ease the pain, but tin y will no more cure Rheumatism that paint will Change the fibre of rotten wood. Science has at last discovered a perfect and complete cure, which is called "Rheumacide." Tested in hun dreds of cases, it has effected the most marvelous cures; we believe it will cure you.
