Farm Villages In On Sooth.
! The efforts of President H. C. White
of the Georgia Agricultural and Me-
chanical college to establish farm vil-
i lages in the south is meeting with gen-
j eral favor. The St. Louis Republic
makes the following comments:
The experiment of farm villages, about

with the greatest interest by all who are
Interested in the development of the

one of the greatest obstacles to securing

migrants they most desire.
The south was settled for the most
part by people who wanted “elbow
room.” In the south before the war,
where everybody, white and black, was
too comfortable and too nearly exempt
from the curse of profuse perspiration
which the rest of the civilized world
paid as the price of a living, in that old,
comfortable, easy going and hospitable
south, no one lived in towns who could
afford to live out of them. The planter
lived in the middle of his “place,” where
his hogs and chickens conld not trouble
his neighbors. It was a country of mag
nificent distances.
This is the

In the illustration is shown a full

winner at the last New York poultry

thighs plentifully furnished with downy
feathers denominated "fluff.” The qual-

No one walked.
Even the beggars, or those who were
nearest to being beggars where beggary
did not exist at all,'went on horseback.
There was elbow room in abundance,
and no one crowded any one else.
This life suited the people so well that
thoy gave it up with extreme reluctance,
bnt no sooner had the war ended than
the movement to the towns began. It
lms kept up ever since until the farms
have lost a very large part of the ele
ment that is best qualified to make the
south a growing success as an agricul
tural region.
This was a movement into the towns.

FT 1.1. FEATHERED BUFF COCHIN,
ity of this “fluff” and of the feathering
generally is usually a good indication of
the breed. If fine and downy, tho birds
are probably well bred, hut if rank and
coarse they will not he worth attention
as fancy or exhibition birds.
Tho merits of tho Cochins have already
been hinted at. Tho chicks are lmrdy
and grow fast. The fowls will do well
in confined space, are tame and seldom
quarrel. They cannot fly, and a low
fence will keep tlihm within hounds.
The hens are good sitters and mothers,
and lastly they are prolific layers. Un
fortunately the defects of the Cochin are
equally marked. Tho flesh is inferior
that of other breeds, and there is a great
absence of breast. Tho hen, while an
excellent layer, has a desire to sit after
every dozen or score of eggs, and this is
troublesome except where a regular and
constant succession of chicks is desired.
Finally this breed is peculiarly subject
to prejudicial fattening, which, when not
guarded against by tho avoidance of fat
tening food, chocks laying and some
times causes deat h.

They would l>o content with a small
village—a place to live in, to use as a
base from which they could work their
farms—and they would not go to selling
comer lots by the front foot as soon as
they had the village street laid off. There
is enough of that sort of village life in
the south and elsewhere already. It
presents the greatest difficulty in the way
of the farm village, for town booming is
one of the most deep seated of American
vices, and of course a farm village with
a town boom in progress would be a ri
diculous and absurd failure.
If the south could ho filled with farm
villages, hamlets composed of the fami
lies of farmers whose farms join, full
protection would be assured .jt women
and children, and all would have the
benefits of society and many advantages
which can never be had in isolation. It
is to he hoped that the Georgia experi
ment will he carried ont in a common
sense way and that too much will not
be attempted. The “model” village and
the socialistic village are predestined
failures, but the common sense village
can he made a great success in the south
by merely getting it into existence and
allowing it to demonstrate its advan
tages.
The department of agriculture has a
scheme afoot for tho benefit of American
farmers. It is to establish in London a
permanent bureau for the purpose of in
troducing American cereals, wines and
frqit in European markets.

What Cue Apiarist Wouldn’t I>o.
Editor Alley tells, after 30 years amoug
the bees, things he wouldn't do:
I wouldn’t use a hive that lias a brood
capacity of over 1,800 cubic inches, or,
say, eight standard Langstroth frames.
There are over 50,000 beekeepers who
think as I do on this point.
I wonldn’t introduce a new qneen for
the sake of changing the race of any
prosperous colony of bees. Those who
do so will he the losers in the end. Aft
er the swarming and honey seasons are
over then change queens if necessary.
I wouldn't wait for the honey to he
capped before extracting if I were run
ning an apiary for extracted honey. As
soon as the cells are full of nectar and
capping has been commenced at the top
of tho combs I would commence to ex
tract.
I wonldn’t use a section case that is
nonreversible. When sections are half
full, or even quite full, if reversed the
' bees will attach the combs solidly to all
sides of the sections. Honey so stored
can be shipped a long distance without
breaking or leaking.
I wouldn't pnt sections on a hive, no
matter how populous the colony, until I
could see that the bees are gathering
some honey and had started to. build
brace combs between the top bars 6f the
frames. Then I would pnt a few sec-
