When a dozen eggs sell for more than a gallon of syrup or a bushel of corn, then eggs are. too high or syrup and corn are too cheap. When an old hen is worth more in the market than two bushels of corn, keep the corn to grow liens with and let the hens lay the eggs; when you sell the eggs you have the hen left as a profit. If 100 guineas will lay 72 eggs each a year it will equal a cotton crop if fig ures do not lie. Ten bales is a big one-horse crop for an ordinary family before we had the boll weevil. Ten bales damaged by the boll weevil is equal to five bales, less one for the fer tilizer, leaves four, with the landlord getting two, leaves two for the ten ant's year’s work at $75 per bale equals $150.00. 100 guineas laying only 72 eggs each or six dozen, equals 600 doz en eggs at 25c is $150.00 or as much as a year's work In a cotton crop plus the good the guineas will do towards de stroying the boll weevil. It has been proven that the boll weevils do very little damage where guineas range, so the same crop will make 7% bales in stead of five, same figures apply as to fertilizer and rent leaves tenant 3 1-4 bales cotton at $75.00 is 243.00 and 600 eggs at 25c is $150.00, making a total of $393 as against $150.00 with all cot ton. Now the guineas will easily lay 72 eggs and enough extra to feed them with a little attention, a few patches of grain maturing at different times will feed them and a few rows of ear ly beans planted in the cotton fields will cause the guineas to stay off from the house and graze in the fields in June when the boll weevil first comes and the cotton is small. A few hills of special pens planted in the skips of cotton will mature in July to keep the guineas busy eating both the pens and weevils which will reduce the boll wee vil damages to a minimum. Same will apply to turkeys, grow more turkeys they are destructive! to the weevil which makes their profit double. A few hours speflnt during the winter days getting the guineas and turkeys started will make little farmers big ones for figures do not lie. All yon have to do is produce the figures, they will add up the answer. Build your guinea house off in the field, sow rye for them to graze on in the spring and j plant beans and peas as above mentiou ■ ~(l will keep the guineas and turkeys off in the field where they will make you money two ways. Advertise for guineas, a few days work and thought will right a lot of wrongs now exist ing. It will get you more titan ten times the same time and thought spent in town cussing everybody and every thing as is being practiced now by some. Merchants and bankers lie but you get the above figures together and they will not lie. Place your ad with the country mer chants in the cities for all the guineas; buy them, stop the killing and eating of them, they do too valuable a work to be eaten. Some organization along this line will do good, you can secure the guineas through the bureau of markets and produce dealers in the cities. Get busy on this line, then you will he :t producer instead of a destroy er, c<instnujtiv<> instead of destructive. Then the world will look better to you and other folks will not l>e as mean as they appear to be today and our old world will he a success after all. R. L. WOODRUFF. Wealth Must Never Be Boss.
