Protection seems to be the cry of
: the age. Last November I was in
company with a band of democratic
southern gentlemen, representatives
i of tho clay Industry In Georgia, who
| ! heard of the proposed tariff revision
aud they went up In arms about re
duction of raw clay. They wanted It
to stay up. More recently, the cot-
I ton manufacturers of the south have
sent committees to the halls of con
gress to Importune that august body
to protect southern cotton manufac
turers. The coal and iron people in
Alabama and Tennessee don't want
tho tariff lowered. Somebody has
even suggested that a tax on export
ed raw cotton would be a good thing.
And all this in the face of tariff
revision by the republicans. I can
remember some ten or fifteen years
ago when every southern man want
ed low tariff, when democracy howl
ed against the raise put on by the
republicans. Things i$ro changing
now ami the south Is getting Into
old line republicanism while the
north is drifting toward free tariff.
The turn in tho tide has cone. The
law-makers of the populous and pow
erful north anil east have discovered
that the south Is full of resources,
.hat we have everything on earth at
our command, that within a few
short years the north and cast will
be virtually in the hands of the ag
rieultural and manufacturing enter
prises of the south. This Is evolu
tion in its highest sense.
However, there Is yet enough for
the southern farmer to do In order
for hint to protect homo. Protection
1b about the greatest word, outside
of love, that a farmer, or anybody
else, can fashion for home use, and it
Is a pretty poor farmer who won’t do
everything possible to protect his
family. With conditions changing as
they arc nt present, It Is absolutely
uccejsury for the farmer to look we.l
after the crops needed at home,' and
now Is the opportune time to ar
range for this protection. During tho
cide, and upon them will depend his
future success. There Is no more
need for the southern farmer to be
dependent fin tariff and protection
from a governmental standpoint than
it Is for a hog to be given a holiday,
to use the old expression.
With the grass so green, the flow
ers so beautiful and the prospects so
great, who cares about the wrangling
of lawmakers? The Georgia legisla
ture would hardly create a ripple of
(jxcltement just now among thet
farmers, and the national lawmakers
can't do much as the Georgians when
they get started on something like
railroad rates, or prohibition, and so
here's farewell to the troubles of the
United States congress.
The abudnnee of grass brings
back to my mind something that a
prominent official of the agrlcutural
department of these same United
States of America said to me recent
ly. And that la the great opportun
ity there is in dairying In the south.
Quite recently a young matt, whom 1
did not know personally, came to me
and asked nbout going Into the dairy
business on a small scale. He had
real knowledge nbout the work, prom
ised to devote time and energy to
the enterprise, and so he started out
with just an even dozen cows. I
gave hint a little assistance In the
way of getting Into the business end
of the proposition anil today he Is
milking twenty-three cows nnd has
orders for more stuff than ho can
supply. He makes good stuff, and
supplies Ills customers regularly.
When I find a fellow doing his work
that way I often wish I could blow
his horn for him, and put In free
advertising everywhere. | do It in
a way, hut not specifically, so it

He possesses advantages beyond

proof:
In the first place the fanner has

land of little value can be used for
buildings and runs. In tho next
place the cost of food Is pot mote

WHY ONE SHOULD USE
INCUBATORS IN WORK
BIGGEST FARM ON EARTH.
The incubator Is always ready.
The Incubator hatches a larger)
number of chicks than a hen. 4
Chicks may be reared more rapid i
ly when there is no hen to Inter
fere.
The chicks may be brooded togeth
er in large lotB, thus reducing the
cost and trouble of rearing.
Incuoator chicks art not hatched
with lice on them, and need never be
come lousy while being brooded.
Your incubator is not addicted to
tny of the caprices that biddy may
:je addicted to, and they are legion.
Incubator chicks are tamer and
more tractable than chicks hatched
by lit ns. This is a valuable con
sideration.
You do not wall Ip an Incubator
o become broody,waste, time
ind eggs In fin-lit,g out whether It D
or not.
It never leaves the eggs, nor
tramples thorn, nor refuses to sit
where' you place it, nor throws om
ihe .eggs, nor kills the chicks after
[hey are hatched.
To hatch well, eggs must be from
good, strong stock, fertile and fresh.
They must not b<* subjected to chills,’
jarring, impure air, too great hear,
loo much moisture; nor, as a rule,
too continuous h-at. The tempera-
lure of tho room should vary as lit

No machine can make pood hatches
Iroin poor eggs—that is, those luckbig
in fertility or high egg quality; and
no machine can natch chicks strong
enough to live if not. properly brood
’d afterward. Many have to learn
by hard experience that brooding
chicks is the greater sclt nee of the
two.
More incubator hatches are spoiled
by the anxiety of the operator than
any other one thing. Get the ma
chine to going properly and then
don't bother It, except to turn the

, Said to Be David Rankin’s in Mis
souri—He Guesses It's True.
| Nearly forty years ago an Illinois
farmer discovered that land on otic
side of a state line was selling for
$20 an acre, while he might buy any
amount on the other side of the ima
j ginary dividing mark for less than »
| third that amount. Real estate men
told the farmer than no railroad
would ever go near the Missouri
lands, but he sold his farm in Illi
nois and bought all he could of the
land at $0 an acre.
Not long ago David Rankin, who
is the man that bought the cheap
acreage, took an Inventory of his
possessions in tlie neighborhood of
Tarklo, Mo. The Inventory showed
25,640 acres, 12,000 fattening hogs
9,000 cattle, 800 horses, more than
100 cottages, in which the employes
of the big farm were housed, .great
quantities of farm machinery and the
like.
The total figures up to something
like $4,000,000 In value, says Hamp
ton’s Magazine. That didn't Inclutli
the 1,000,000 bushels of corn produced
annually or the 150 miles of tilling and
ditches, some of which had been
draining the marsh lands of forty
years ago.
. "They say I'm the biggest farmer.
In the world,” Rankin says, “and I
guess It’s true. Lots of men have
more land than I, but they use It for
cattle ranges only. Mine is a farm."
Rankin never rallies cattle or fur
nlshea range. He buys the raw steers
from (he plains and fattens them un
til worth twice what he pays for th*
"feeders,” as they are called. He
never sells corn, because by feeding
it to cattle, according to a minute
I calculation of his own, he gets more
ample returns. It Is forty miles
from the nearest to the most distant
of his farms.
It Is held that harm has come to
the grape from propagation by Its soft
wood. It ought to be grown from cut
tings or layers of the natural wood.
The like is believed to be true of the
rpse.

There are probably many excep
