“My Young Sister’ 9
writes Mrs. Mary Hudson, of Eastman, Miss., “took
I my advice, which was, to take Cardui. She was
staying with me and was in terrible misery, but Car
dui helped her at once.
The best Incubator is the one that
is best understood and treated. What
kind of machine you buy does not
matter so much as how you handle
and care for It. I cannot give any
one Incubator or brooder special rec
ommendation. Our advertisers would
not ,like this. However, I believe any
of the machines or brooders advertis
ed In these columns will do good
work if properly managed.
Because our neighbor's Incubator
does not reach his expectations it
does not follow that tho machine Is
to blame. Some folks will put all |
kinds of eggs-long and short, rough
and smooth, fresh and stale, in the
Incubator, and run the machine In a
haphazard way, paying little atten- I
tion to the instructions given by the
maker. Often the machine Is attend
ed to by first one, then another of
tho family, and too many hands spoil
tho hatch.
While It Is easier to care for an In
cubator than a lot of broody hens, It
takes effort and careful attention at
the right time to make either “pan
olft.”
Locate the incubator where it will
be handy to look after and you wlil
be more apt to get satisfactory re
suits. An incubator up stairs or out
in the wood-house is very likely to
be neglected. We don’t like the* Idea
of running up and down stairs or out
doors to look after nn incubator whon
many other duties are pressing. Do
not tAist to tho thermometer being
right; better compare it with a physi
cian's thermometer to make sud’e and
mark any variation on the face, it Is
a mistake for the average farmer to
buy too small a machine. A 50-egg
machine requires os much attention
as a larger size and one doesn't get
enough chickens to pay for fooling
with It. A 100-cgg machine is small
enough. And. with a 150 or 200-egg
size the farmer's wife can soon hatch
about all the chlckons she will be
able to take care of.
Learning to run the wooden hen
successfully is the same as learning
anything else. One Is very likely to
make a few mistakes before they be
come experts. However, the direc
tions are plain enough that little trou
ble will be found by the careful per
son In hatching most of tho fertile
eggs.
It is easier to hatch the early
chickens with the Incubator than it Is
to raise them, unless one has neces
sary contrivances for handling young
chicks succcBsfuily. 1 used to think If
I had an Incubator to hatch the early
chickB I could raise them somehow,
but 1 son found out one lins to be
prepared for rearing them as well bh
hatching to avoid loss and stunted
chicks. If one has enough broody
hens, the Incubator thicks can be di
vided among them, and they will do
very well raising them If provided
with comfortable homes. But the
brooder method Is tho easiest. One
can care for 50 chicks in n brooder
as easily as they can look after an
old hen nnd a dozen chickens.
We like tho Incubator and brooder
for hatching ami rearing the early
chicks especially. These machines
never change their minds in regard
to their duty If looked after, and the
Inns sometimes do no matter how
well we think we have them trailed.

On every farm where stock urn
kept (and that should be on every
farm In the country) wo need to have
good fences. Wo especially need to
have good fences around whore hogs
are- kept. I like to have fences well
put up, so that when I put hogs or
stock of any kind In a lot, I will know
and can rest assured that they will
be there when I return. Poor fences
cause a lot of worrying and trouble
which may be avoided If when we are
building n fence we wlil take a HtUe
more care and time and have It put
up right.
In keeping stock we need to have
plenty of fences, and plenty of lots
so we can handle stock to the best
advantage. I know that the more
fences we have the more expense It
Is, but we can handle and change tho (
stock much better, und tho changing (
of pastures 1b worth much to the!
stock; this Is especially true of the
hogs. We must In the future raise
our hogs more on pasture and forage]
crops. The way to do-this Is to have,
a number of lots and sow In them a J
succession of forage crops In order
to' have pasture the whole season.]
The fence to put up loday Is some of
the. woven wire fencing on the mar
ket In which there are many brands
and styles, and all must choose which
| they think Is best. There Is much
complaint that the fencing now on
the market will not last as long as
the, fencing that was bought years
ago. Some claim their make of fence
:s hotter galvanized than others, but
1 would take the fence which 1
thought was best, and believe that
one will last on the average as long
as the other. 1 think as far as last
ing and rusting Is concerned, we had
about as well take cne as the other,
and, In buying a fence, I scarcely
ever think of this. There Is one
brand cf fence on the market that
sells at a higher price than most oth
er makes, the company claiming they
make It better, and I have always
thought that It was better, but since
seeing tnat It will rust out as soon as
any other, I would not give any more
tor It. 1 would select style of fence
that looks strongest and best, and
never mind the lasting qualities, for
as for me I would soon risk one as
the other.
The 2G-inch woven wire and 3 barb
wires on top makes a good fence for
the farm, and I have put up a lot of
this kind. The first barb wire on top
should be stretched quite close to the
fencing about 3 Inches, or the stock
will learn to put their heads through
j here and stretch the fencing and
| make the opening greater. This style
will make a good fence. 1 thought
] that It was not so hard on the corner
I posts as where we used the 54-inch
| fencing,
I The end nrd ecrrrr pcsi3 must bn
■ret firm in tho ground, and the more
sclid you can got them, the better
f'T-r ; ri liar?. Wo ccr.nr.t get
'.hem too sol d, for they will almcs;
spring at best. What extra time we
can kuend In making those posts
solid vUl he well spent.
In stretching up tho fencing I want
II light, and close to the ground to
prevent iilgs from learning to crawl
under; for If wo do not have It tight
there the pigs will soon learn to slip
undor and put more stretch In the
fencing all tho time. Some stretch
a barb wire close to the ground first,
which is also a good plan.
In order to put up the fencing right
wo must have It tight, and have the
corner posts so set that wo can
stretch It tight.
There 1h nothing which pays like
good fences, and in building fences
and other Improvements, 1 I havo
found that It pays well to take a lit
tle more time und money nnd make
thorn right.. The cheap Improvements
look well for a time, but In a few
years wo can boo the difference. Good
fences suvo you lots of tlino and
trouble; time that you cannot afford
to lose. It may save you trouble
with your neighbor which you cannot
afford to have.
FARM PRICES MUST
GO HIGHER SHORTLY
Growth of Cities and De
mand Malccs it a Settled
Fact.
The price of farm products as
steadily increasing. Although the
yield is on the whole greater than
ever before, there has been no cor
responding decrease in value. It. Is
reasonably certain that both yield
and value will continue to increase
regardless of any clamor for lower
prices. And It Is due largely to the
rapid development of the city, tiitles
are growing as rapidly as food sup
plies increase. All the time the price
ot farm products is increasing the ui-
ban population grows and consumes
the excess. Nor will there be any
abatement of urban growth. The re
sult will be as now, only probably
more conspicuously, that cities will
keep on growing and the demand on
the farm will grow with them. Faster,
too, than the supply, owing to arti
ficial requirements that will arise; al
so to Increasing waste and oxtrava
ganpe.
All of which will enhance the value
of everything the farmers raise!
Wheat will never be permanently
cheaper than now; nor will meat,
garden or dairy products. Some
years will be unusual, of course, Just
aa they have In the past, producing
dearth or bumper crops, but the
trend of prices Is upward. How far
ha srow:h of cities will extend until
the farm draws tho city's hosts It 1;

DIVERSIFIED CROPS
MEAN SUCCESS
Cotton lias for too long a time
held sway In (he south land. No
one questions the greatness of the
crop, but it Is too tickle to continue
ns master. Many men arc making
money out of cotton alone, but they
are favored In special ways. The
average southern farmer will bo most
successful by attaching himself to
other crops as well as to cotton. If
tho money thnt is sent out of the
cotton land each year for grain, hay
and fertilizers could bo kept ut home,
the condition of fanners would be
custly different from what It now Is.
Your plan ought to be to grow your
own supplies of corn and hay, and
not to put nil profits Into fertilizers
and homo supplies. My experience
Is, that the man who grows tobacco
and cotton Is simply working for the
other fellow; and he works for low
wHges at that. lly growing corn,
forage crops, vegetables, potatoes
peanuts and other products that have
a constantly ready sale, the southern
farmer can pocket Ills profits that ho
gets from (otton, hnd not hand It
over to some foreign manufacturer
or trust.
