BOX 40, “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. V. H.

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; Impossible* to say.

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.
