TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Improvident Negro Had Best Cut His Pleasures Short. No Rain and Winter is Just Around the Corner State ! A KANSAS GIRL IN THE SOUTH! Miss Arnicholas Chiles Writes Entertainingly of Social and Business Life Among the Negroes of Alabama. VOLUME XIII. The Improvider A KANSAS IN T Miss Arnicholas Chiles Social and Business Negroes or To a Katean a journey of eight weeks in the Old South indeed a treat and it was the writer's good for them both and two joyful months. My station was Birmingham. A little although I spent a portion of my time at Montgomery and The Keys. UM CROW Left: Topeka April 18th and arrived in Birmingham on the evening of the 10th. The many stories of Jim Crow cars were vividly recalled to memory when at Thayer, Morn. I was informed that the coach again—a smoker partitioned off and only one toilet, was for colored people. Here I changed, and although I was born in South Carolina, for the first time in my life partook of genuine Jim Crow. My equal quarters were anything but comfortable, and it makes a Kansas blood boil to be compelled to accept inferior fare when paying the same price as others who are surrounded with luxury and no pain, spared to make them comfortable. However, I was to be a bride's maid at the wedding of my friend, Miss Wilma E. Pettiford, of B. minghams, and I absorbed my mind in thoughts of how the rest of the girls were going to look, and if I should arrange my hair this way or that or if I would look half as well as the other girls whom I pictured as being really beautiful and graceful as queens. With this in mind, "Old Crow" digested fairly well and my Kansas blood remained normal, arousing only when I had occasion to brush my hair and finding only one toilet. It was then that I clinched my hands and wished that I had all of the Titmans, Vardamans and Dickson's by the neck or that General Grant and the thousands of patrons whose bodies sleep in numarked graves in this land of prejudice could have arose in all their might and completed the lesson of respect for human rights they were so indelibly stamping upon the minds of the South. This and a few impudent, insulting Negro porters make up the really disgusting features of being a passenger on a Jim Crow car. At every station the glaring sign, "For Colored" was another gentle sender that you were in the South and had no rights which a white man - pauper or prince, is bound to respect. The scenery across these states is far from being beautiful, but interesting in lead. Thousands of acres of low, wet marshy, land tell the story of shiffness and disease. Dotted here and there on these broad acres are the typical Southern plantes resting on pillows or stills four and five feet in height and in many instances the water is nearly up to the steps. Along the road one occasionally chances to see a dry spot. Groping in ignorance and ancient superstitions, the white cracker and the inferior brother" (the Negro) are out an existence in the huts on this un sanitary camp—the blacks performing the little labor that is done while the white man backs in the shade at the depot or the village grocery chewing long green tobacco and talking "social equality" and "gigger domination." This is the cause that constitute lycoming parties and in a Negro appears to be suspected of a crime, the bloo of a horn a litter more "crackers" than Lincoln's first civil or men to defend the Union. The condition of the land is very much the same as a reach Alabama where it is high and the soil rich and productive Here I was met at the station by Dr W R. Pettiford, father my friend, Miss Wilma, who ceyed me in a carriage to his beautiful home at 614 North Sixteenth street. Here I found a growing City of 138,000 of whom over 40,000 are colored. It has a slight resemblance of a thrifty Northern city, but the quaint customs of antebellium days still linger, and it will take several generations before the white man awakes from his hip. Van Winkle slumber and injects the proper energy to elevate it upon an equal plain with cities built by his Yankee brother. The night mare of "social equality" and "Negro domination" so haunt him that work and a desire to fully develop the South's wonderful resources have been completely dwarfed. The struggling lads are making laudable strides, and while the yoke of prejudice and oppression has caused some to grow disheartened and give up, it is gratifying to note that a greater number are fighting it down, and as evidence of their success, the banks, groceries, gente' furnishing, tailoring and numerous other enterprises stand out boldly as a proud and living testimonial, and their professional men; physicians, dentists, lawyers, educators and skilled mechanics will compare favorably with those to be found anywhere. The lie, shiftless Negro is here, though his ranks are gradually diminishing, his number is far too large. The Negro South needs the assistance of the man in control of affairs, and if the white "crackers" were less in number, the letter element of both races would succeed more rapidly and be of far more assistance to each other and lynchings and other outrages would no longer disgrace the man of one of the best countries on earth. Among the leading financial institutions of Birmingham is the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of which Dr. W. R. Pettiford is president and founder. He is one of the thriftest men in the whole South; president of the National Negro Banking Association, and wields much influence not only with his own people, but also with the whites. Dr Pettiford is able, farighted and a good concientious Christian leader—a real Man who is guiding his people out of the wilderness of ignorance and superstition. ```markdown ``` Among the several business enterprises visited, I had the pleasure of seeing the tailoring and garments furnishing establishment conducted by Mabry Irwin. Mr Chas, Mabry was formerly a teacher at the Tapepe Industrial Institute and is well and favorably known to a large number of Tapepeans. The book.

THE WEDDING One of the largest and most elaborate weddings I ever witnessed was the marriage of Miss Wilma H. Petitford and A. Gi. Robertson, which was solemnized at the Sixteenth Street Baptist church. About one thousand persons witnessed the beautiful or many especially prepared by Dr. Booth, who had known the bride for a number of years. Previous to the marriage ceremony, Miss Chapman sang a very appropriate selection. The wedding much was played by Miss Winona Mason, of Cincinnati, O. The church altar was artistically decorated with ferns, palms and flowers which formed a back ground for the bridal party number twenty two. In the line of march the four ushers, Miss Scott, Millen and Gaiter, of Birmingham and Bessie Boyd of Selma, were gowned in beautiful white marquisete over white satin. The four bride's maids, Missen Carrie Neeley, of Birmingham and Nenia Douglas, of Huntsville, were handsomely gowned, the former wearing white marquisete over satin of same shade trummed in lace and pearls and the latter white voll over silt with heavy lace trimmings and Elizabeth Brown, of Montgomery and Armicholas Chiles, of Topeka, Ks., were elaborately gowned in pink marquisete over sa in with trimmings of lace and christmas. The gentlemen in attendance were Drs. Ragland, Anderson and Madlin, of Birmingham and Robertson, brother of the groom from Georgia. The maid of honor, Miss Ethel Boyd, cousin of the bride was gracefully attired in a beautiful gown of pink marquisete over pink satin with trimmings of pink and crystals. Each bride maid carried a shower bouquet of pink carnations. The flower girls were dauntily dressed, one in white and the other in a pink frock. The bride, who was given away by her father, was elaborately gowned in crepe media with trimming of real lace and pearls. She The wore a vell caught with orange blossoms and carried a shower boquet of bridal roses and sweet peas. The groom and best man, Dr. Sallivan, of Selma and other male members of the party were in evening dress. The bride is one of Birmingham most popular girls; cultured, refined, industrious and well liked by old and young. She is president of one of the leading clubs, the Alpha Art a teacher in the Sabbath school and a music instructor. I note having graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music. The grower is a popular practing physician, proprietor of a drug store also owner of several pieces of property besides their beautiful and cost resistance in India. The reception at the beautiful palatial residence was attended by four hundred guests. The house decorations showed the skill and cunning of a crafty band and were very pretty. The presents received were costly and beautiful among which was a large amount of cut glass and a handsome malogany dining room set and piano from the bride's father. Previous to the wedding several elaborate affairs were given in honor of the bride and bridal party. MONTGOMERY. Two days in the capital city of Alabama was very pleasantly spent. It is a historic City and many interesting stories were related to me of the darker days." It is said that the Negro population is larger than that of the white. The colored brother is by no means asleep in this city and is making a showing in the business and professional world. Among the oldest and most prominent families are the Browns, Nesbits, Harms and Watkins, all of whom were a live in making my stay one of pleasure and profit! I was highly pleased I to meet my friend and friend neighbor, Mrs H. Mabers, and she spared no pains in making it agreeable for me To me the most beautiful part in the whole South is Jackson, the great normal and industrial institute, of which Dr. Brooker T. Washington, leader and foremost educator of his race is founder and principal. The institution is located in what is known as the "black belt." The grounds are hilly and so land off as to make the scenery very picture sque. The buildings are artistically arranged and beautiful in design and architecture, consisting of general office including postoffice and bank; academic. Phelps' Bible training hall, library, boys and girls' studies building, commissary department, chapel, green house, boys and girls dormitories, hospital, dimin hall, agricultural building, including dairy department, poultry yard, petty and barn; 100mm. of hot- and cold rooms, besides a non fertile farm land and all of the necessary equipments for its cultivation. Tuskegee was her private railway running from a station called the Haw to the grounds, a distance of about five miles. The trades taught here are tailoring, shoemaking, wheelrighting, tinsmithing founding, blacksmithing, plumbing, steam fitting, electrical engineering, carpentry, brick masonry, harnessmaking, printing, painting, veterinary science, truck gardening, dairing, swine and poultry raising, nurse tracing dress and mattressmaking, basketry, millinery, cooking and also academic and Bible training course. Commencement week from May 21 to 25 was one of attraction and pleasure to the many visitors. The week's exercises were nothing short of wonderful. Nearly three hundred received diplomas and certificates from the various departments Among the features of the occasion was the bacculareate sermon on Sunday which was delivered by Dr. Kulgo, of Durham, North Carolina. It was a very able effort and highly instructive. Boston Trinity prize contest on Tuesday aroused much interest and enthusiasm among the student body of the upper classes. The orations were excellent and show that care, time and study had been exercised in preparing them. Class day exercises were held Wednesday evening on the pretty and well lighted lawn. The plans for the exercises were arranged by the students and reflected much credit upon their skill, taste and originality. Thursday was not only commencement day, but the gala day of the whole week and thousands of visitors invaded the grounds. To one who has never been South, it is a wonderful sight to watch the throng pouring in from all directions. Here one sees every style of harness from the old-fashioned breast strap and trace chain affair to the modern and highly decorated now in use, and vehicles run the same way. They come rattle back, on foot, in wagons carts, buggies and carriages mostly drawn by mule and ox teams. Special tractors bring large numbers of colored and white people from all stations, and thus year after year Fuskeegee entertain as many if not more visitors than any place in this portion of the state. Every detail of the exercises was complete and showed that the large number of boys and girls leaving the institution are fully prepared to take their place in the world and cope with theerner duties in life. The music, both the chorus and orchestra was excellent. The address delivered by Hon Robert H. Terrell, judge of the municipal court, Washington, D.C., was a gem sparkling with wit and at the same time carring home some good, wholesome thoughts that will materially benefit both student and visitor. A very novel feature of the exercise was a ten minutes exhibition of the work as actually done by the students on the grounds, and to fully appreciate the students busily engaged at their various occupations one would have to witness the scene, as can also be said of the several cratons by graduates in the vast professions One of the most attractive triumphs NUMBER 25 at Tuskekee and adds greatly to the schooljist the band, which is under the direction of Prof N. Clark Smith, a former Kansan and one of the country's foremost bandmasters. SOCIAL LIFE AT TUCKROSE This is also prominent among the features during commencement week and the persons in charge spare no pains in giving the visitors a cordial welcome. Among the prominent admirs I attended during the week was a 2 o'clock tea given by Mrs. Bender T. Washington at her beautiful name "Tne Oakes." Wednesday after a reception at the home of Mrs. Thomas at Greenwood. Wednesday night the 'Innur Circle,' composed of lady and gentlemen stenographers entertained at Dorothy Hall and on Thursday night the most elaborate affair of the week was a reception at the Womens' Club tendered Judge Teraell of Washington, by his sister, Mrs Laura Jones, principal of "Childrens' House" at Greenwood, a sur erb of Tuskegee. DOING A GRFAT WORK Dr Washington is a God send to the South, and through his efforts, wonders are being accomplished for both races, and through him and his great school the problem is rapidly becoming less complicated. Mrs Booker T. Washington is a highly cultured energetic and affable lady. She has charge of the girls Industrial departments and renders invaluable service to her husband in conducting the school. I am glad that I visited the South, and while I long for an opportunity to make the trip again, I am more glad to again be back in Kansas. ARNICHOLAS CHILES. LEWIS MAKING GOOD. --- John E.

Close of a Very Prosperous Year in the Administration of Dr. B F. Allen. Large and appreciative audiences greeted each excuse of the commencement season, marking the close of a most prosperous year in Lincoln Institute. Dr. B F. Allen, president. The programs have been rich and varied, choruses, orations, essays, recitations, one and all, have shown excellent thought and careful training Commencement, which has in reality been in progress since June 17th, when a very interesting rendition of "Julius" was given by the Junior class, was brought to a brilliant close on Friday morning, June 18, at which time Missouri's famous Governor, Herbert S. Hadley, delivered the address of the day in words and sentiments that were a source of inspiration to all present. The Raccalaurate sermon was eloquently given by the Rev. M.C.B. Mason of the M. E. Church; sermon to the religious bodies by Presiding Elder, Rev. R. L. Beal, D. D., of the A.M. E. Church, who delivered a very practical and acceptable sermon; the address to the literary societies, by Professor J. D. Bowser, Principal of Attucks school, Kansas City, who spent the summer of 1910 in European travel, and who brought to his audience delightful and valuable memorabilia of his trip. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University, guest of Dr. Allen during a few hours of communal web, gave a very refreshing talk on He Man and the River to the Faculty and student labs. We also note the following among the many interesting features of the commencement season. The return of graduates with their endless Alumni evening, on which occasion Dr Allen was the speaker of the evening and delivered a masterly address on The Lincoln Institute Spirit"; on the Alumni banquet, etc. The Swanger scholarship gold medal was a warded Mrs Anna F Wright, of the Senior class; the Allan gold medal to Miss Ethel Williams, Sophomore class. The Alumni Association, beginning with 1912, will offer a scholarship medal to the student making the highest average in the Junior and Senior classes combined. The degree of Master of Arts was conferred by the Board of Regents upon Professor C. C Hubbard, Principal of Lincoln School, Salina, Mo. Among graduates to receive praise for thought and delivery of orations should be mentioned Rev. I. A. Harvey, pastor of A. M. E. Church, Jefferson City; Mrs. Anna E. Wright, Selahia, Phillip Johnson, Kansas City, Lee Allen Boggs, labority; Joseph Cloborne Purslana, California; Mrs. Minima W. W. Spokane Washington. Rev. L. A. Harvey was held the good morse to make much of his stay within a stone's throw of a great educational in- stitution, and his crater sought and found, in its natural relation to the weather, the institution and its matchless beauty, with demonstrated the speaker's appreciation of that which he had sought and found. The most interesting feature of all however, in many cases, was the pream- tation to Dr Allen on commencement morning, just before the start of the pro- gram, or a gold watch continually im- granted with the building or Lincoln in the studio, the proclaimed room, the date, etc. This watch was the result of the lace- fully, as a small token of love and es- tom.

Many of the young people in the graduating class will only be in school with schools and will inform their parents as teachers in September on this number of Mrs W. L. Wright Mrs. L. L.

REV. W H. JERNIGAN. Pastor Calvary Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, Okla. When in Oklahoma City we had the pleasure of meeting our old month, Rev. W. H. Bornigin, pastor of the Colony Baptist Church, Rev. J. Bornigin leaves on the 15th instant for Philadelphia, Pa. to attend the World Alliance of the Baptist denomination, held in that city June 19th. This will be the first meeting of the World Baptist Alliance ever held in the United States at which will be representatives of the Baptist denomination from all parts of the world and Rev. Bornigin has the destiny of being upon the committee of reception, for that holy. This committee is appointed to look after the comfort and entertainment of the foreign representatives to the Alliance and the selection of Rev. Bornigin should be appointed as a very high honor for a man from our section of the country—a new state. For more than 50 years Rev. Derrigan has had charge of the Baptist Church, in Oklahoma City. Coming there from Mississippi, he found the church in rather a dilapidated condition, due to inactivity among its members. From the beginning he has been popular with the people of the city and his congregation in particular. Indifference to the good opinion the people and his members have had of him. Rev. Derrigan has proven a live leader. In the affairs of the church he has proven a man of the highest character and commonly noted for the trying duties in a priest in a new country and a growing community. During the term of his posture he has ministered the membership of his church to 500, which makes at the largest church among New And now his interest is post to love, longing his love of man nature and man matter, which afflict the Negro as people and who wear and whisper the nature, and his people are attacked.

He is recognized as one of the fore- most operators by all members of his protection who know him or are familiar far with the character of his work. Since coming to Oklahoma he has made good. He was the first and only Negro physician who has operated at St. Anthony Hospital, Oklahoma City. He has been a professor at the University and an illustrative theorist in the Negro profession at a good in the city of county. He makes a specialty of surgery and as such he is called many times during a visit into various parts of the state for professional service. Dr. Whittaker is a man who has made a good showing for the race and the Negro as a professional.

JOHN BANKER Mr. John Banker, the present incumbent as postmaster of Kingsboro, Oklahoma took charge of his office about two months ago and is already onto the job and pushing the affairs of the postoffice with the ability of an old hand at the business. The other has taken on a real live business turn and patrons seem thoroughly pleased with the present order of things. Mr. Banker is a business man of years standing in the community and has many friends throughout the county and state. He has introduced the same uniform methods in the conduct of the affairs of the postoffice which have made his own affairs a success. His working force is a set of pleasant and accommodating gentlemen, who seem to appreciate the fact that they are so sponsible for more than their presence and on this account are giving the patrons of the Kingsboro postoffice a service that is prompt and efficient, from every point of view. Under present political conditions, with the Democrat party in charge of the atlans of state, it is to the credit of the town of Lumber-ho that officials of the last type represent the party in the atlans of the county and government and it is safe to predict that Mr. banks will be an active and aggressive worker in the party in the political atlans, who will include the people during the coming year. Mr. Binker has the trusts and the influence and every element which goes to make a successful leader. THE ELITE WHIST CLUB Oklahoma City, Okla.

Prizes were awarded and refreshments served. This club is composed of merchants and professional men and their families and is one of the leading organizations among the society people of the city. It is rather a young body; but its weekly meetings are growing in popularity and during these long summer nights a pleasant evening spent in amount amuscent is a feature of city life since to be appreciated. The officers of the club are: Mrs. Barbara Bigham, pres.; Joseph D. Bryant, vice pres.; Prof E W. Prun, secretary. While in Oklahoma City, the Plain holder made the People Dung Store the location. THE WESTERN ICF COMPANY. EJ Reno, Okla. In Western Kentucky, Oklahoma is one of the few institutions in Oklahoma which have a special consideration for the Negro of that state for the reason that they are employing Negro help in every capacity where they have demonstrated their usefulness. plans to making the last I upon the market and at prices which meet all the compaction. The company is under the management of men who are familiar with the business and they are all very pleasant men to meet. The president is a native of Arkansas and has worked Negroes in his business throughout the state. Mr. Henderson the president of the company informs us that he has a Negro in his employ who lives under his charge, and is very detail of the lowest and who is competent to take charge of a plant and operate it himself. In at Mr. H. about his that confidence in this Negro that he will not want place a plant for the manufacture of ice or fibre, and place this Negro on charge as an amateur on the work. Mr. Hall appointed at the H. Reno plant, a M. Mann and takes pride in the fact that Negro he has under his charge. He is always pleased to meet new friends and customers and to give the best service to all classes of people. His capacity at the Western Ice Company plant is 100 tons per day. Their plant is constituent to all the roads out of H. Reno to the Rock Island and the Hart Smith & Western R. R. PROF J. H. A. BRAZELTON. Principal of Douglas School, Oklahoma City. The people of Oklahoma City have been very fortunate in the fact that rats allow us good schools for New grows as can be found in any of the nations of the old states, and really bet tween us and all times in most of them. The rats all times in the nations city can be found in any nations of the United States and consideration the fact that this is a city in a new state when it now appears in all appear to be a new state in a fair demonstration of the methods of the schools in the state where we condi tions, commercial relations and the things we are in love of the system. It is to the right of Prof. H. A. Hazleton as much as to any other influence that the conditions stated above are due. When Prof. Hazleton came to the city, to take charge of the schools, he found a rather crude system, growing out of the seeming indulgence of the people who had children who should have been in school, instead of upon the streets. Those who had come into the new state had a harder fight to make an existence than for education and those who had charge of the education of the Negro children were indifferent to anything that seemed to interfere with their popularity with the people, home they did not insist upon the children taking advantage of the free school system, which was open to them. Prof. Brazhion saw the need of honest and conscientious work, and went about it; he saw that with a growing population there was sure to be a future need of a broader and more efficient school system, and he made plans to meet that condition. It was not a matter of appreciation from the people so much as one of honest service to a people who needed honest and faithful public servants. His reward has come to him not so much from the parents, in appreciation of what he has done for their children, but from the pupils, the children themselves, which is quite enough to a man who knows he has done his duty, as he has known. Piot Brazelton is a native of East Tennessee, having been born at New Market, upon a farm, twenty five miles from Knoxville, in 1875. He attended the Bradman's Normal Institute, Maryville, Iona, and graduated from that institution in 1891. He afterwards attended a white school Maryville College, Maryville, Iona, for twenty years, completing the junior class of years. He did not graduate because of the action of the legislature at the state of Tennessee separating the Negroes from the white students in 1901-02. During 1901-02 he attended Knoxville College, graduating and taking the degree of Bameler of Arts. He received a degree of Master of Arts from the Maryville College, January 27th, 1910. In his experience as a teacher he taught Greek and Latin in Freedman's Normal Institute for two years, and has been principal of Douglas school since 1903. Prof. Brazleton has been especially active in the work of the Negro State Teachers Association of Oklahoma. He served as head of the organization during four years, two years before statehood and two years after the state was admitted. He was elected as a delegate to the National Educational Association, which met at Ashville, N. C., last year and was the only Negro present coming from West of the Mississippi river.

A PROSPEROUS WIDOW Dear Editor: You'll kindly reprise with me, for God has certainly bestowed his rich blessings of worldly store upon me since my sojourn of nine years in the part of his vineyard.

Having been bereft of my husband in the spring of 1898 I sought new fields new associations for consolation Within three days after my arrival in Lawton, I obtained a 160 acre tract of land the greater part of which is under cultivation. After having paid for my farm I purchased lots an adjuncting town. On May 6th, 1911, I purchased 150 feet from the government feeder land which I had leased for my years past or the small sum $0.2c, located on the main street in a very, very desirable portion of the city, where you, dear editor, will find me when you choose to visit southern Okla.

Horses should not be checked up when it work Wild mustard causes but little trouble in the corn bale Ensilage materially reduces the cost of raising and fattening cattle. Sometimes old strawberry beds will pay to keep for another fruiting Originally the best animal food for horses at this time of year is cut green bone For the women who love plants there is nothing so pleasant as indoor gardening A sanitary stable is absolutely necessary for a uniform quality of good butter It costs less to raise strawberries in a new bed, and they are of better size and flavor A man who cannot succeed with a scrub stock will hardly make a success with a pure bred herd Dairy farmers should not raise or buy timothy hay for cows. Clover or alfalfa is much better as a milk producer With the majority of farmers the pasture provides the sole summer feed for all the animals except the work horses A patch of rutabagas or an acre of pumpkins will make the cows remember you with increased yields next fall and winter The temperature of the cream when in the churn should range from 52 to 56 degrees, and it should be churned for 30 to 40 minutes. The sheep that shears ten pounds or over an animal of good size and strong back, with proper attention will make money for its owner. The great advantage of the cream separator over the various systems of room raising is that thick or thin cream as desired may be obtained. Home grown seeds, pure, free from weeds and found by local experience to afford satisfactory yields, are generally to be preferred over all others. Summer selection should be kept up until the fowls are fully grown. Dispose of every little runt that shows up because they are not worth keeping. Lost the horseradish into the ground just as soon as possible. Plant the roots two or three inches deep with the thick end up. The soil must be very rich. All infertile eggs have a value While it is unlawful to sell these eggs we find that when well boiled and I with comment they make excellent food for chicks. When the fruit can with holes the half inch from the open end is fitted over an inch sleep ple in the mouth drinking found the sumb brush on the pan on e in white. the peltin duck is very hardy a cool liver and fultons quickly. The killing if well cared for should be a market in ten weeks. They will be killed before the pen feath begin to grow careful not to overcrowd the lotting the hot season. Fresh air cool patters are conducive to with these warm days, and prevention is better than cure with chickens, seeing that the best cure for a sick fowl is death If the hens are confined to a small yard, a portion of the yard would be dig up into a week and a little finely ground bone and meat fed three times during the week to take the place of the worms and insects they would pick up when at large Iron sulphate solution kills dandelions. The horses should have free access to salt at all times. Gallings must be driven in when a hard shower comes up. A rich sandy loam with clay subsoil, is the best ground for bottles. Do not allow a dying or worthless tree to stand in or near an orchard. Beef meal and meat scrap are fed by many poultrymen with excellent results. Club root of cabbage is one of the most annoying yet easily controlled of diseases. The matter of growing the corn and filling the allot is of great and growing importance. Cattle on pasture can be fed grain and made ready for market early in the summer. Wheat and oats in equal parts ground together are excellent for chicks of any age. As soon as the corn is up, or even before, go over the field with a weed er or smoothing harrow Flaxseed may be broadened but is generally drilled at the rate of from two to three pecks to the acre A small amount of animal food is required by all poultry, especially during the time of egg production Try to see that the chicks are not fed until at least 48 hours 64, then give water first, feed afterwards. Failure in the sheep business, in nine cases out of ten, may be traced to overconfidence and "plunging" The farmer who makes milk production his business is a dairyman, and he needs the best of dairy cows If one has pigs that have to be kept in a yard all summer, sweet corn is the best green feed he can grow for them. Barley and kamr corn are both good poultry feed, but not essential when one has plenty of the above mentioned grains Dairymen doing a small business connected with farming cannot live up to the standard without increasing the cost of milk. The temperature in a breeder the first week should be 95 degrees, second week 90 degrees and the third week 85 degrees is enough. Corn silage and alfalfa make an excellent ration for dairy cows and good yields of milk have been reported where nothing else was fed Go over the young apple trees and cut off every water sprout with a sharp knife close to the trunk. Do it early and they will heal this season. It is the early vegetable that brings the big price and the man who sticks to his hot bed and makes good use of it always gets to market first. There are several crops which may be planted for late summer pasture which will furnish fresh, succulent green feed for all seasons of the year. Two or three days after potatoes are planted go over the field with a harrow, and continue this until the plants are several inches above the ground In soon as the potatoes are planted and up sufficiently to cultivate it is becoming customary, and necessary, to spray with some poison solution to kill the bugs The fruiting strawberries should have all weeds and grass cut out by two in plants, like a sharp, narrow bladed hoe and cut the soil line with out disturbing the roots The poultry yard should be all cleared away and tiled up in bone, and all coops and racks no longer in use securely stored away in some shed where they will be kept dry until next season. Ono can spread ashes, lime land plaster, pulverized lime rock, etc., with the manure spreader by first putting a layer of litter in the bottom of the spreader and the fine material on top. A remarkable thing about alfalfa is its perennial youth. When one growth is removed another one comes on immediately to take its place, and so continually as long as moisture and temperature conditions are favorable. Grow your tomatoes on trellises this year and see if you do not have better crops than ever before. Trellises should be set in the ground about 18 inches deep when the plants are set out and the vines trained from the start. When one stops to consider the stupendous fact that Philadelphia, Chicago and New York consume 7,000,000 cases of eggs annually, some idea may be obtained of the number required to feed Uncle Sam's rapidly increasing family all over the country.
