There arc some storleB that are cs
old as the Rock of Ages aud yet for-
3Ter new. The tales of love told a
housand years ago aro as delightful
i they were in those ancient days.
■ he songs of the birds in the sprlng-
mo ceboed and re-echoed long be-
ore this land of ours was discover-
d. The glory of the new year Is
ts great today as It was almost 2,000
ears ago, when the Saviour of men
.tme into the world and added a new
<ar to the heavens. The world needs
pochs nnd eras In order to complete
no theme of nature. It there was
o cloudy weather one would never
appreciate the sunshine. If the high
ways were scattered with roses and
.ever a thorn to be seen, the sweet
ness of Mowers would be l03t on un-
ippreclative people.
Tho new year Is greater than any-
hlng else, unless It be the glorious
Christinas time.
Oh. New Year, bo true year to all
our hearts and hands,
Vnd light the way to perfect day lu
Love's remembered lands."
No matter how sad tho old year
has been, look at tho bright aide of
the days to be. The winter's chill
ing blast will soon bo over, the time
for sowing will soon bo at band
again. The singing of thu birds will
be Just as Joyous and os sweet to
morrow as they were In the long ago.
The friends around you will bo Ju»t
is good and true as wore tho saints
if long ago. Recompense will come
0 our effort Just as surely ns it over
lid. No old year, ever so bright.

1 he coming. The charm of distance
ind the enchantment It gives to us
» Just as alluring as It waa when
he poet said:
‘Oh, distance, thou doar enchanter,
SMtl hold In tby magic veil,
Tho glory of far-off mountain,
The gleam of far-off tall."
Despite this fact, the reality of the
present is the greatest thing tn life.
Regrets bring back no yesterday, the
troubles of tomorrow will never
come, and somehow folk will always
he nblo to bear the burdQp Of t.odsy.
hey always have been and always
will be, If the same faith that has
<ept the world going through all the
iges still predominates among the
children of men.
Somebody is everlastingly nagging
it the story that this idea is a theory,
and that the man who aspires to aid
his fellow-man and preaches and
works for tho doctrines of advanuo-
ment for humanity, is not ono who
practices it, but don't take that for
a truth. The men who know how to
struggle and have felt the stings of
defeat and tho bltterreas of failure
can tell you truthfully that tne man
worth while is the man who will
work from an unselfish standpoint.

•'Lengthen out tho seldom hours Of
Joy 1
And shorten the days of pain."
Tho New Year Is the time for plan
ning. There never was a bettor
-me and never a more propltuous
agon than the present down in the
ou'h. Way back yonder old fables
ibout the way the days started out
revailed and many a farmer based
his prognostications on the weather
the first twelve days turned out.
I lav/ever, times are changing nertv
md the men who come in actual con
tact with tho soil and conditions sur
rounding the farm -now better tnan
to rely upon tho predictions made
so far ahead. It takes centuries to
eradicate Ideas Instilled Into men's
heads through Inheritance. Bringing
up in the faith, no matter what tt be,
narrows down a man to where lia
can see only tho narrow horizon of
hts little world, though It be but a
stone’s throw.' ■
This old almanac Idea was the cli
max of a thousand years of supersti
tion with sll the fallacies thrown In,
but go where you will today and
every farming community has fol
lowers of the almanac predictions.
These little booklets were once the
only means of education In tho way
of library equipment to many of the
leaders In settlement work in this
great country and It is but little won
der that the themes of a hundred, or
two hundred years Ago still And the
people of the south, and elsewhere as
for that believing the tales originat
ed before men emorged from the nar
row confine* that bound humanity to
an anchor which only the march of
time and the aolrit of mmr>e , f*t''n
ts the struggle could wipe 'Ut.
Dwelling along this line farmers of
the south some ten or dozen years
ago had an Idea that cotton wat
aoout the only thing that could bi
grown in the south with any certain
ty of reaping a harvest in the way o
dollars and cents. This same com
petition advanced to such n polm
that men sacrificed body and soul foi
a paltry sum or dollars. Tho time
c#mo when they rallied front this
state of affairs. They found the
struggle all in vain. In many in
stances not only the strong workers
on the farms wero worn out in ttu
struggle, but the women, ladies of the
old south, wero pressed Into service
and the dearest on earth to tho toll
ert kept bravely at the task, wearing
life away In the hopeless fight.
Then the rally! A New Year, an
other ora, dawned on them. Ttu
reality of tho present, the hopeless
ness of the fight, showed forth In n
new manner aud the farmers stopp
ed to consider. They saw no rea
son why the grain fed on tho farm
should come from somo other section.
They saw no reason why tne family
should not be provided with mill:
nnd butter and pork and beef grown
on the farm. A now avenuo opened
up Itself in this way and a new in
tensive and divorslfiod system of
farming spread out over the south.
Hundreds of new advocates of the
plan sent tho movemont forward wltn
a rush and cotton, for the time )>elng.
was refegnted to the rear.
The santo old story confronts the
farmers of the soqth today. It is to
bo a fight tills New Year for home
and family. Think about the things
you need to provide for the family.
Seo If cotton alone will bring It, or
look about aud see if grain and hay
and cattle will not do more for you.
Think about tho difference on tho
farm when hero and there different
crops are found growing and tho laud
improving nB compared to the one-
crop systom.
Take it up In tho same manner
that you would with the fumlly. Con
sider tho same dally routine of food
and words of greeting. It would
grow monotonous in the extreme nod
I- is the same way with ldtid. Every
thing and everybody -.needs now
things Just like the Now Year. Sn
here’s a Happy New Year to all.—

BE CAREFUL, NOT CARELESS
We can easily lose nn entire year’s
work in the poultry yard by being
careless n single day. This may
scorn strange, but literally it is true—
a singho neglect; 'but * littttr 'in - tact,
nmy upset the work we havo plann
ed and done the past yoar. ....
Wc frequently allow tho dropplng3
to remain on tho boards for two or
threo days, or we fall to keep the
drinking fountains clean. Often the
slightest neglect will cause disorder'!
which upset a whole year’s work.
We do not need to pet the fowii,
but wo do need to make them our
friends and prove to them by our acts
that we mean wjiat we say. Tlftit we
mean wliat wo Say. That we moan
to give tnem good food, clean water,
grit, and a good clean house to roos*.
in. *Vhen we have done this, our full
duty has been fulfilled, and if our
fowls nre good tho results will be
satisfactorily.
GEESE FOR PROFIT.
All things considered, there is no
branch of tho poultry business more
profitable than that of goose culture.
GeeBe are easily reared, and coat but
111 tic when we consider the food they
consume.
They are hardy, nnd after the first
few weeks they require only one or
two feeds a day, the principal por
tions of tho needed food being gath-
< red by themselves from the old or-
chard and meadows.
Tne young goslings aro not subject
to tho many troublesome diseases that
Infect tho poultry yard, nnd after
th*y are six weeks old they require
no especial care. The feathers are
valuable, but the greatest profit comes
from marketing tho young geese Just
before they get the first suit of
feathers. There is money to be made
with geese, if we know how to care
for them.
THE OLD SETTING
HEN ON THE FARM
Some Simple Solutions to
every Problem in Raising
Plenty of Chickens.
This scorns to bo a simple ques
tion, but wo venture to say that one-
half of tho failures in hatching und
raising chickens, with hens is due to
tho fact that wo did not know how.
In tho first place, one cannot set
hens In the hen house where other
hens have access to tho neBt. If wu
do, those that want to lay will crowd
Into the nest and either break the
eggs or keep the other hen from re
turning until the eggs have been
chilled. A separate room for setting
hens must be provided - A place where
they may quietly sit and not be dis
turbed by others. Any outhouse room
In the barn or loft will serve the
purpose. The writer has often bal
as many ns twenty liens setting at
one time In a single loft room of the
barn, and not a single one ever fail
ed to hatch a fair per cent of the
ecgH.
An ordinary soap box makes a good
nest for h settlug hen. All you nood
to do is to cut out a small opening
in the side so that tho hen can stun
Into the nest without breaking the
eg 3. U will also be necessary to
provide a temporary too and front, sc
that when the hen is first taken to
tho uest she may be kept there for
at least one day. These boxes may
bo arranged around the wall nnd the
center of tbe room. Arrange a few
food and water can bo placed In Mia
nests In advance, and after the lieu
has begun to set remove her after
dark to the room Carry her gently
with head tucked under your arm,
Ret your lantern In front of nest and
let hor slip gently on the nest eggs
which have already been placed there.
Cover the top and front of box and
do not disturb the hen for one day.
Place a pan of water, box of grit and
some corn in front of nest, and on ths
second dny remove the front and glv®
the hen a chance to come out and eat
and drink. If after an hour or two she-
does not come out lift her off tho
nest nnd set her down by the food,
with head toward the nest. After sh»
has eaten aud drunk she will. If she
really wants to set, return to the neBt.
If she refuses to return there is no
uso wasting time with her. After
sho has settled on tho nest, remove
the nest eggs and place the other
egg.i under her. She will come off
each day and get her food and dust
herself and in no way disturb the
other hens In the room. After the
second day dust her with Insect pow
der and repeat again on the fifteenth
dny.
