McAULIFFE 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. ,<romlsed such things as the days of 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. Labor to— •'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.— Home and Farm. V.

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. 1 Kidd's Almond Cream for Beauty sake. , —Gasoline in 5 gallon cans, batteries and gas engine oil.
