Shiver—The Troubles of Shad.
So ..A in
flights by carrier pigeons havn
h ecn told and repeated again and again
that it is not to be wondered at that tbe
general public has exaggerated ideas on
among those who have given
-some attention to the matter. Recently
a great deal, lias been said about tbe
service that could bo performed by these
birds during war, especially iu carrying
messages from one vfessel to another or
from a fleeh to the laud. While naval
officers pretty generally hate expressed
doubts concerning tho replied abilities
of carrier pigeons their successful use
by the French liner La Bretagne, which
arrived in this city the other day, has
thrown a new light upon the subject
and recalled the experiment madq by
the monitor Puritan a few mouths ago.
When the Puritan left the Brooklyn
navy yard forNorfolk, she bad on board
a crate of pigeons. While she remained
outside the Hook adjusting her com¬
passes several of the pigeons were re¬
leased with messages for friends of the
officers iu &tew York and at the navy
ard.
The experiments were uniformly
successful, but it must be remembered
that the distanaes were comparatively
short and that the Puritan was not out
of sight of land. In this connection a
naval officer said the other day: “So
many stories of long flights of carrier
may be sent hundreds of miles with
messages; Now, as ^ matter of fact, ex
periments have shown that tuo carrier
pigeons' steer their course by sight and
not by nny other sense. If they are re¬
leased near enough to land for them to
seo it, they will make for it; otherwise
they are apt to fly wild until they do
strike land. I oi believe, however, that
might be great use to vessels on

“That is my name,”

SECTION COM3 CUTTER, •
--_—?
A Uomemtdt Device J^r Leveling or Cat
ting Down Ucr.pycomb.
A correspondent of 4 Tbo Ame'ricaL
Bes Journal describes lew the benefit of
all who want to make and use it a de¬
vice which he has arranged for cutting
or leveling down oomM in -unfinished
sections of the previous year.. It will
be seen by the construction of tho cut¬
ler that whatever residue of propolis
there may be leaving is entirely separated from
the comb, it perfectly clean.
Before cutting the combs down they
must be perfectly dry and entirely free
from honey.
The cutter is made altogether of tin
and one bolt. The size, of course, each
ene will have to regulate according to
the size of the section, used. The size
for a 4$i by 4}i sectiqh is 4 by 10 by 2
inside the bos, with a flange at each
side to form the gauge. Cut a hole two
inches in diameter, four inches from
quo end and in the center. Put a rim
one inch high around tho hole inside.
Take a piece of XXX tin four inches
wide, fold it together and draw to an
edge, using a file to finish up with. Cut
a piece like the end of the cutter knife
with a slot hole near the top of this end
piece, so yon can raise hr lower it, and
form the knife around it. Put a hole on
each side a little below the gauge on
the box. Put the knife in, then a quar¬
ter inch bolt through all, with a thumb
nut to clamp all together.
To use it get a box that will be about
right for you to sit at comfortably in a
chair, cut a bole iu the end about four
inches in diameter, place the entter ou
so tho hole in the center will come in
the center of the one in the box, fasten
with a screw at each end. Now put wa

The Golden HcO, In the South.
The sheep has an adaptability
to ditions all parts equal of to the'world that o* man. without ^t basgone much
regard' ti topography or ’ elevation.
Some grateful beneficiary has called at¬
tention to the “golden hoof.” Fertil¬
ity follows ip its trail, and it spreads
green carpets over any territory it
chooses for its home, how barren soever
it may bo.
Maryland, Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida are grass¬
less states. They need sheep badly to
correct this condition. A country of
abundant grass is always p rich country.
These states can get grass without much
difficulty and make money on the in¬
strument by which it will corns.
Their a bupdanf rainfall and sunshine
are highly favorable to grass growth.
The general lack of lime in their soil is
unfavorable, bnt is a condition that oan
be overcome by the use. of olover, cow
peas, alfalfa and other taprooted le¬
gumes and by tbe artificial application
of lime from tbe kilns of rock and shells
and tbe marl beds that oan be cheaply
made to yield vast ^gaqfities of this
needed soil ingredient.
Sheep, clover, eowpeas, alfalfa and
lime working jointly would rapidly
cover tbjs naked region with a good
firm sod. Once the grasses got a firm
hold on the soil they would maintain
themselves there in spite of a great deal
of abuse. In a country where winters
are so short that grasB grows 10 or 11
mouths in tho year fertility would in
cr. ase because waste by sun and wash¬
ing rains would be stepped. The fore¬
going emanates from a writer in Farm,
Field and Fireside in drawing a most
attractive pen picture of sheep in tbe
south Atlautio states.

CONCERNING COMPOSTING.
__^
l iverae View of a Popular Southern Prxc
- tlce—What to Do Instead,
The pructice of composting, so pop¬
ular and almost a matter of course in
the south, meets with adverse criticism
from W. F. Massey iu The Southern
Cultivator. A. it i. u.oull, .taut..
geons to view a subject from more than
one standpoint a part of his remarks are
here reproduced: ‘
No matter how carefully the manure
is handled while in the stable or barn
yard there will be a constant loss, and
there’is lessof losswben it is spread on
the land than anywhere else. Let one
handling do for the homemade manure
and let that be to get it out and spread
It broadcast ou the laud where the corn
crop is to bo planted. Then if the corn
is followed by a orop of winter oats, as
It should be in the cotton belt, there
will be food enough to carry tho oats
■nop through to success. Then after the
oats are cut give all the laud a liberal
dose of the lfiiueral plant foods that tho
pea delights in—acid phosphate and pot
ash iu the form of muriate of potash,
Spread this also broadcast, for tho
broadcast use of manures and fertili
«ers is what tends to the improvement
of the land, and its building up for hit
proved crops. Then sow the land iu
peas, and by the use of tbe previous
dressing of 800 to 400 pounds of the
phosphato and potash misture you
should get a crop of hay that will cm
able you to feed more stock thad over
and thus raise more manure to put out
broadcast. —------— .
But what we especially wanted to
oppose was tbe laborious hauling of
earth, manure, cottonseeds and all sorts
of rubbish to mako a pile, and to turn
and mix and pile and repile the mi$i
turo, thinking that by Ibis mfoqess the
w hole will becqtup stablo manure, is a
gre’ab waste of labor. If there are val
gable accumulations of wood wold ban
dy, haul it and spread it on the land
and haul and spread the stable manure
and put your cottonseed down in a fur
row deep between (he cotton rows,
where after it has rotted the pqttoq
roots will find it just wl)(Jfl )hqy need
it most—at phosplinlo frtriflqg tuuv."

BY THOMAS A. M’GREGOR
FOWLS ON THE FARM,
Eight Hensons Why 1‘onllrj- Is Valuable
to tho Farmer,
Professor Gilbert of Ottawa, in an¬
swer io the quostion, “Why Is poultry
valuable to the farmer?” gives the fol
lowinir '**£ reasons: “
ought b, tb.i, a,can, to
couvert a great deul of the waste of his
farm into money in tho shape of eggs
ami chickens for market. ‘ ‘
Because with intelligent management
they ought to bo all year revenue pro
ducers, with tho exception of perhaps
two months during the molting season,
Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for the capital invested
than any of the other departments of
agriculture.
Because the manure from tho poultry
house will roako a valuable compost for
use in either vegetable garden or or*
eliard. The birds themselves, if allowed
to run in plum or apple orchards, will
destroy all injurious insect life;
Because while cereals and fruits can
only be successfully grown in certain
sections, poultry can bo raised for table
uso or layers of eggs iu all parts <5f the
country.
Because poultry raising is an employ
mont in which tho farmer’s wife and
daughters can engage and leave him
free to attend to other departments,
Because it will bring him the best te
suits in the shapo of new laid eggs dur
iftg the wiutor season, when the farmer
bas most time on his hands.
Because to start poultry raising ou
the farm requires little or no capital.
Under any circumstances, with proper
management, poultry can bo made with
little cost a valuable adjunct to the
farm,
Molting,
Tho greatest caro must bo taken to
keep fowls in good condition during the
molting season. It is a drain on their
vital powers to furnish the material for
a full coat o£ new feathers. There is
n U to be a laxity of attention to their
feeding their cessation during of this laying, period on account of
when, in fact,
there should bo more care taken. It is
a good plan to select all the fowls that
it is desired to winter or keep for breed¬
ing and WAbkct the balance. This will
egtdowo the expense of tho molting
season. Hens which will molt early if
they are in good condition and comfort¬
ably housed will nearly always make
the best winter layers, while tho later
molters will tardy lay until spring.
Tl?a*q latter should warm'and have a place whore
they can keep dry and be
given an abundance of nutritions food.
The period of molting may be shortened
by careful attention and a supply of foal
rich in muscle, beno and feather form¬
ing materials rather than fat making
foods. Always provide pure, fresh w’dr
ter and keep tho quartern clean, X^beat*
oats, linseed meal, ground bogo picul, meat
w;mgs ter'food audfeosb bcngjsmake bet¬
at this tiam. than corn or any¬
thing that may bo considered a fatten¬
ing ration. While it may not be best to
feed tho chickens all they will eat, in
nearly all cases liberal feeding and the
supplying of a good variety will be
found the most desirable thing to dft
The hensnoed to take sufficient exercise

For Sliow
It is a fact that cannot fee gainsaid
that standard bred, fowls-are bred with
out considering practical value at ail,

much limnoy os tho one wlxi breeds tho
highest scoring stock. Breofiiug for
beauty is all right in its place, bnt
where beauty interferes with utility is
tho place to let mongrel beauty hens take that second will
place. There are
lay as many eggs as the most ptolifio
Leghorn, but they cannot be depended
on to transmit tbo tendency to their
progeny. This is where the mongrel*
fails. Tho farmer wbo chooses ono of
the pure breeds and then tries to im¬
prove bis flock is tho ouo who will
make the most money iu tho end.—
