The Next Issue of "PORO CO MAJOR Mrs. Turnbo Majors Saint Louis Negro B Business System Boys and Girls for Useful One of the greatest pleasures witnessed our lives was the visit to the business establishment of the Poco Coil owned and controlled by Miss. A M. Hope-Turnbo, 3100 Pine street, St. I. M. Mo., and managed by Mr. W. C. Majors, formerly of Springfield, Mo. We have traveled and have visited several concerns owned and controlled by individuals of our race, but must say that this establishment is one of the greatest, most accurate and successful businesses we have run across Miss. Turnbo deserves much credit for having discovered and put on the market a preparation that has surprised anything in its line for the growth of hair to adorn and beautify the gaiter sex. If there is anything a woman likes, it is more hair. She not only discovered this great preparation for the hair and scalp, but is also teaching it. Through Mr. Majors who is an inventive genius, they have invented machinery that will thoroughly cleanse the scalp and put it in a healthy condition, which is essential to health and comfort. We were also surprised to find students from all portions of the country attending this school and receive a complete knowledge of the treatment of the scalp and growing hair. There are several ladies who have completed the course and have gone cut into the world and made a success. There are several who now own homes and good property and have bank accounts, in fact doing a great good in the various communities in which they live. She has from 18 to 25 young ladies employed in this college, manufacturing hair preparations and treating the scalp and giving instructions. She has hair keepers and clerks in the various departments, who carry on this great work. The business runs up into thousands of dollars a year and we are safe in saying it runs from $35,000 to $50,000 a year. She has several hundred agencies established all over the country representing their Major's Mechanica TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 26, 1913. concern and all are making money. M. Turbo is a very conservative woman and does not blow about her business. It is worth the price of the railroad fare and expenses to any one to go to Saint Louis and meet her and visit the inner workings of her school and various connections. The department of hair growing and scalp treatment is crowded from 8 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, which is closing time. There is always from 8 to 15 ladies in line at the door waiting until 8 o'clock when the business opens, to be treated. There is a continuous going and coming which keeps the instructors on the jump throughout the day. The room where this treatment is carried on is neatly furnished, with large upright porcelain basins, hot and cold water, spraying fountains, elevated chairs and everything that goes to make a department of this kind complete, and from the fact that a continuous stream of women are going and coming from the time of opening until it closes—only Sundays excepted, proves that Mme. Turbo is not only a successful business woman along this line, but a heretofore to her sex of all nationalities. The conducting of this business is the most accurate of any kind we have ever seen and is carried on in a very business like manner. The minute details are carried out in every particular in all departments. She receives from two to five hundred letters per day and everyone is numbered, opened, checked and referred to the proper clerk to answer. Through this process they can tell at any time whether the letter has been answered, where it can be located and if not answered, the reason why. They can run down anything pertaining to any individual letter, whether the order has been properly filled also the exact cost of the article shipped out, even to postage and stationary, how much was paid out and if there is a balance. All this can be checked up in a moment. They employ this checking system throughout the business. Mr. Majors, the manager, left a short time ago for Philadelphia to attend the centennial and there put on demonstrations of some of the workings of this institution, also one of the new patents he has invented to be used in scalp treatment. Mr. Majors is also instructor in handling automobiles. He has turned out any number of chauffeurs, who are now holding good positions and receiving good salaries. He has the only correspondence school for chauffeurs in the United States. His institution is connected with the Poro College. He is acknowledged to be one of the best automobile instructors in the country and has also patented several things belonging to a machine that are now being passed upon in the United States patent office at Washington, D. C. Any young man who wishes to become efficient in handling automobiles and desires to be first-class, in this line should correspond with Mr. Majors. He is honest and upright and a distinguished gentleman with great ability. He attends strictly to business and is busy from morning until night looking after the business of the Poro College and the correspondence school for chauffeurs and exercising his inventive genius. We have been informed that upon close investigation it has been found that Mrs. Turbo has more representatives than all the other hair-growing concerns in the country combined. She enjoys her idle moments in riding about the city in her large limousine, which is one of the largest and finest in the city of Saint Louis. She takes great pleasure in showing visitors and filers about the city. This is the only concern in Saint Louis that attempt to make it agreeable for distinguished visitors who come to the city. They always take great delight and pleasure in showing the students of the schools a pleasant time while in Saint Louis by giving them a ride over the city. While there we met students from Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia and many other sections of the South, who have just received certificates from these institutions. We had the pleasure of dining with Mine. Turnbo and a few of her invited guests at a 5 o'clock dinner. An elaborate five course dinner was served, which was highly relished. She is a fine entertainer and makes it very pleasant for her guests. We asked Mine. Turnbo, how it was that a woman of her culture, refinement and business tact had not found MRS. A.M.

Looking back upon what she had accomplished in the way of beautifying the women of the race, and giving employment to girls, she found she had even given what is most needed in every home, and that is sanitation. It has been shown by her method of scientific and sanitary treatments, that she is helping to destroy germs which oft times prove fatal to the innocent persons coming in contact with them, as the hair is the greatest center of the body.

Commercial Appeal. From early childhood I have been a constant observer and an ardent admirer of the wonderous works of God. In my early days, birds, bees, bugs and flowers were a never-ending source of pleasure to me; and when'a lad of more mature years I have lain for hours in the shade of some friendly tree and played with a toad frog or June bug until the dinner horn blew, when I was erroneously supposed to have been diligently hooing cotton. In after years I have sit silently on the seashore and watched the tide ebb and flow; I have looked down upon the clouds; I have descended into the valley and stood on the banks of the world's greatest river and watched its turbulent waters roll by; I have looked above into the starry-decked dome of heaven and gazed upon the far-away planets to the starry-decked dome of heaven and comets performing their stupendous and harmonious lyrical lutions, and have seen written upon the face of all nature the glory and wonder of the great Creator. But I have always and do now, regard the Verge as his masterpiece. He stands alone in a class by himself; and while the Yazoo and Mississippi delta is perilously suited to his needs, yet he can adjust himself to any kind of climatic conditions and live and die happy under the most trying circumstances. He can lie down beneath the scorchingays of a monday sun and sleep the sleep of the seven sleepers of old without suffering any civil effects from it whatsoever; or he can weatherthe hottest winter gale, clad only in a pair of cotton overalls and a blue jumper. He can also wear an overcoat to a Fourth of July celebration, or a pair of linen pants and an alpaca coat to a Christmas tree and be perfectly comfortable. And, strange as it may seem, anybody's clothes will fit him and look nice on him. King Solomon in his declining years, when he had become thoroughly disguised with high society and fast living, said that there was nothing new under the sun; that he had gone all the pants and had seen the whole show, from the free exhibition to the grand concert, and that there was nothing to it, or words to that effect. But it will be remembered that he never had any Negroes to deal with, or he would have had a new problem to solve every day of his eventful life. There is nothing else like a Negro under the sun. He sees all things, and has implanted faith in everything he sees or hears, and stands ready at all times to step aboard of anything that comes along, from a young mule to a flying machine. Wireless telegraphy is nothing now to him; he has used it for ages; every Negro's mouth is a transmitter and every ear a receiver. If anything of importance happens on a plantation tonight every Negro for forty miles around will know it by morning. If you ever arrive in a delta town on the train on Sunday and the whole colored population is not at the depot to meet you, do not get off the train, for you may know that of a surety some catastrophe has just struck that town. Saturday is his special day by custom and common consent, and if you have any business to attend to in a delta town on Saturday attend to it early and get off the streets before you get hurt. A Negro cannot see you Saturday, unless you own him something, and if you get in his way he is liable to step on you, sit down or back you up against a wall wall and smother you to death. He does not usually do those things, or any of them, through any civil design, as many sometimes support, but he simply cannot help if you get in his way, or he is lost and cannot look out for you Saturday in his "rashness" and news exchange day, and an addition to having all those things on his mind he has to shake hands with every Negro scene, he meets. You had better take out an accident today or get off the streets Saturday. The standard trash can for a Negro is a piece of metal, two pounds of vatine, a pound of coffee, three pounds of salt meat and one gallon of the potato seen a week, but he can consume all of this at one sitting of necessity, or he be working for you and starting himself he can live a week in three soda crunchers, a box of shredded and five cents a worth of cheese. In other words, his stomach is built on the same general plan of an old-fashioned accord, and either contracts or expands according to the pressure brought to bear upon it. He is also immune to nearly all kinds of poisons, and can swallow the most deadly drugs with impunity. I remember of having a Negro working for me one time who was having chills and was suffering with severe backaches. I got him a bottle of chill tonic to take and a bottle of liniment to rub his back with. The liniment was labeled in box-car letters. "Poison. For External Use Only," and I cautioned him about it when I gave it to him, but for three days and nights before I found it out, he had been rubbing his back with the chill tonic and taking a tablespoonful of the liniment three times a day before each meal with excellent results. On another occasion I was sick and had a Negro to wait upon me, and the doctor opened a can of antiphlogistine to make a plaster for my side and left the can on the kitchen table, and when the Negro went in to get his supper he mistook it for a can of peanut butter ate the whole of it without ever discovering his mistake. The Negro does not lay up treasures on earth where moth and rust would corrode them or where thieves might break through and steal but when he has any money or other valuable things he immediately puts it in circulation, and the things in which he usually invests are never of a permanent or lasting nature. He spends much money each year for legal and medical advice, presumably for the purpose of finding out what he ought to do, so that he may do the opposite, for it is a well known fact that a Negro was never known to shut a gate or follow anybody's advice about anything. He is also an ardent admirer of the work turned out by the dental surgeon, and down deep in every "legio" heart there is a secret longing to some day have a gold tooth in front, one on a plate so that he can take it out and look at it and put it back at will. He is likewise a great admirer of art, and in nearly every Negro's home, he it ever so humble, there hangs a life-size crayon portrait of himself on the wall right opposite the door, where you will be sure to see it as you come in the door. The rest of his surplus money he usually spends for entertainment, preferably an excursion, but anything else in motion will do. I have frequently stood on the street corner on on a cold, cloudy winter day and watched as many as fifty Negroes, who would not average 50 cents each, and none of whom had on clothes enough to flag a handkerchief to a merry-go-round as it went round and round, grinding out that well known and much beloved melody, "Oh, Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" and their front teeth showing like the keys on a "baby grand" piano, while hundred-of others, who did not have the price of a ride, were standing in half-frozen mud shoe mouth deep, cheering them as they came round. All things are pleasing to him. A circus or a funeral is equally enjoyable, but a protracted meeting followed by a big baptizing, or a term of the cremant count followed by a public hanging is his chiefest delight. The Negro was once the white man's slave, but that was only for a short time, and was a part of the great scheme which God had in mind to better prepare him for the enjoyment of the great things which he meant to bestow upon him in the future. By long and close association with the white man the Negro learned all of his ways and his most innermost thoughts, and can now size him up and classify him just as accurately as a cotton buyer does the different grades of cotton, and can do it much quicker. He is no longer a slave to man or Mammon, and verily that scripture which says, "The last shall be first and the first shall be last" has already come to pass and the Negro now has a reserved seat in the front row. If any good things are to be had he is sure to get his share. One day a Negro asked me if I thought a Negro had a soul. I told him I most assuredly did, and if he did not have one it was the only thing I had ever heard of a white man having that a Negro did not get of he stayed with him long enough. The Negro has no great problems to solve. There is no real question so far as he is concerned. He enjoys the society of all cultures and nationalities, and will freely with any of them. He enjoys with equal pleasure the companionship of a five-year old white boy or an aged Chraman who is unable to speak or understand a night world of English, for in either case he gets to do most of the talking. The turf question or the currency question does not interest him in the best. Silver is his standard and he does not want any other kind of money. Neither does the Mexican situation worry him any. All of those things are the white man's trouble. But if the white folks want to whip Mexico or anybody else, for any cause or without cause, for that matter, and will furnish him with the arms and ammunition and will back him up in it he will be glad to do it for him. The road question is the only question that ever gave the Negro any real trouble, but that was when he was subject to road duty, and happily for him that burden has also been shifted to the white man, and the roads of the delta are now being worked by taxation, and all he has to do is to pack them down after they are constructed. Neither does the levee or the want of a levee bother him. That is some more of the white folks' trouble. If we have an overflow or do not have one it is all right with him. If we do have one he is the first to have a boat and get out into it and paddle around from morning until night with the blessed assurance that there will be no more work done while it lasts, and that he will draw his nations from his landlord or from the government, and sometimes both, until it subsides. Whenever a Negro tires of country life he moves to town, acquires a charcoal bucket and a tailor's goose, forms an alliance with some white man's cook and, with his living thus assured, opens a cleaning and pressing establishment. He then gets out Monday morning and gathers in the Sunday clothes of the white clerks of the town, and after wearing them himself every night during the week he gets up Saturday morning and treats them to a gasoline bath, flattens them out with a red-hot iron and rushes them home to their owners so that they may wear them Sunday, collects $150 for his services in their behalf and goes on his way rejoicing. But should there be any special occasion in town on Saturday night which he wishes to attend he holds back the best suit that he happens to have on hand and wears it to that and carries it home Sunday morning, if he wakes up in time; otherwise its owner can lay in bed over Sunday and he will bring it back some time the following Monday. If perchance his fancy does not run to cleaning clothes he gets himself a gas line stove and other paraphernalia wherewith to defeat the vagrant statute and sets up a lunch counter, where he serves all such as came to come his way, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude, with hamburgers, hot catfish and beef sausage, and sometimes sweet spirits of frumento on the side. But should neither of the vocations appeal to him he usually opens a colored barbershop with a pool room and craps table in the rear. As soon as the city authorities become clonious to him, however, he again goes back to the quiet country life, usually right after the Christmas holidays, and joins himself to a cotton planter, and by his certain written contract, duly executed in duplicate, obligates and binds himself to cultivate and gather a crop of cotton on the land there described and on the strength thereof proceeds to cut up anyone from 55 to $400 worth of grub while he is waiting for the ground to get in shape to plow, and it very frequently happens that when the trees begin to bud and when the birds begin to whistle and the grasshopper begins to sing, Mr. Negro is sized with wanderlust and suddenly disappears, and the people who once knew him know him no more forever. Every delta town also has its full quota of Negro women, who, like the bly, toil not, neither do they spun, yet the queen of Sheba in all her glory was, never clad like unto one of them. Susily the Negro is fearfully and wonderfully made, and his ways are past finding out. S E DAVIS Indianola, Miss. GUIRIE, OKLAHOMA. Mrs. O. H.

WORLD'S GREATEST FARM EXPOSITION INTERNATIONAL DRY·FARMING CONGRESS TO BE HELD AT TULSA OCT. 22-NOV. 1. DELEGATES FROM ALL THE WORLD Every Continent and Every Race to Meet and Discuss and Compare Best Methods for Cultivating Semi-Arid Regions The world's most important farm convention for 1932 will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 12 to November 1. Men from thirty nations will attend the sixth annual meeting of the International Dry Farming Congress there and will tell about methods of farming in all regions of slight rainfall or occasional drought. Official delegates are expected at Tulsa from every continent on the lake, China, where it has had the same success for forty years. The great farm meeting at Tullam will be held, in nine days, beginning October 27 and lasting five days. The Exposition held on connection with it will begin five days earlier, on October 28, and will last until November 1. One optional meeting will be devoted entirely to talk about soils, tillage methods and farm machinery. In other sectional meetings will be studied the home breeding and selection of seeds, live stock and orchid, feed and forage crops, farm forestry, the right kind of education for country boys and girls farm management and farm engineering. The real purpose of the International Dry Farming Congress and of its meetings is to teach methods for the conquest of drouth. It is rooting to do with politics, colonization or religion. It is not an agricultural college, neither does it conduct experiment or demonstration farms. It merely collects from all possible sources the available information about methods whereby farmers may increase their yields per acre the quality of their crops and their bank accounts in all regions of light or irregular rainfall. It then passes this information on, through its annual conventions and its publications, to the farmers in many nations. The International Congress now has officers in nineteen raters and members in sixty and its influence for the development of farming methods in worldwide. Its work is of especial importance through the southwestern states, all of which are subject to occasional drought which in many seasons cuts the profits out of farming. In even the earliest years however, thousands of farmers are making good through the practice of the new methods which are revolutionizing agriculture. These farmers will be at Tulsa and will help in making the Eighth Congress and Exposition the most important meeting of its kind ever held on the American continent. FEED AND FORCE PRIZES.

If the wiles of Satan so work upon the minds of men as to put Theodore Roosevelt, that arch traitor, again in the race for the presidency on the Republican ticket, it will mean four years more of Democratic rule. --- The press dispatches announce the sinking of one C. A. Rodenberry, who is a misrepresentative from Georgia in the halls of Congress. The latest report was that he had lapsed into unconsciousness, which means that Satan is tugging at his head in pulling him through the keyhole into hakee, as it was unnecessary to open the door for such a little shrimp. Judge Pollock's decision at Writa ta in the white slave case comes just in line with the spirit and intent of the Mann act. That law was enacted to put a stop to traffic in women and girls. Personal escapades were not intended, but a federal judge (m-judge) at Chicago, in order to catch Jack Johnson, spread the law to the breaking point, and the California judge in the Duggs-Connattia cases followed suit, not being able to understand on his own account, but Judge Pollock has set an example that will probably put these other judges to thinking. Gilt Edged Bank Book Only Outside Sign of Oklahoma Colored Girl's Vast Oil Royalties. Muskogee, Ok. Sept. 25 — A neatly embossed bank book, its leaves of pilt-edged paper, bearing the name "Sarah Rector," is the only outward sign that an humble cabin near Beland, west of here, lives the richest Negro girl in the world, a ten year old freedman girl, whose royalties from oil land amount to nearly twice the salary of the president of the United States each year. From two wells in the Cushing field, one a month old and the other but recently drilled in, flow $800 barrels of oil a day. Of this, one-eighth, or 475 barrels goes to Sarah Rector, who owns the land. The price paid for the lease on 160 acres of land was a bonus of $1 an acre. The girl's royalties amount to $475 a day. Four other wells have been started and five more locations staked. Through it all, Sarah contentedly lives with her parents, in the little cabin. Her people are tenant farmers and cotton pickers. Every safeguard is being used to protect the girl's interests. A. D. Griffin, Manager of The Plaindealer and Member Board Trustees Western University, is in Salma Today—Fells of His Work. In perusing a Secretary Button's Sahra Daily Union of the 20th insti- wate the following compliment to Mr. A. D. Griffin, manager of The Topka Plaindealer. The Union says: "A. D. Griffin of Topka, new member of the state board of trustees of the industrial department of the Western University, of Quindato, Kansas and business manager of the Topka Plaindealer, is a Salma to- day visiting among the friends at the court house and among the N press of Salta who are interested in my line of work. Mr Griffin was making a tour of the western and central counties of the state in the interests of his prize. The Pham- sander and his department at Western University. Mr Griffin, as a reward for ma- work among the Negro business of the Democratic party in Kansas was appointed to the board of trustees of the industrial department of Western University on January 11, 1875. Hedges, for a number of years Mr Griffin has been the business manager of The Phamodales, owned by Nich Chiles, the well-known Topok newspaper. "Mr. Gulah is very enthusiastic over the work the industrial department of Western University is doing for the Negroes of Kansas. He says that the only salvation of the Negro in his industrial training. Mr. Griffin is also an advocate of the 'back to the farm' movement for the Negro. He says that the Negro must leave the city and rear his children in the free and open air. When the Negro dogs this Mr. Griffin is of the opinion that his race will solve its own problems which no one else can do for him. "Another hobby of Mr. Griffin's is sanitation. He contends that the sanitary condition of the Negro is next in importance to his industrial welfare. Mr. Griffin would interest the people of his own race in sanitation and teach them that the high rate of death from tuberculosis among his people is due to the wretched condition of some of their homes. Again Mr. Griffin would solve this problem among the Negroes themselves by putting into practice the 'back to the farm' movement. It is Mr. Griffin's belief that the complete salvation of the Negro is up to the Negro himself and that his condition cannot be materially benefitted through the aid of members of the white race." BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION Owing to special arrangements for the adequate accommodations for the convention delegates and messengers, Shiloh Baptist church of Atchison has asked that the Convention be held on Tuesday before the first Sunday in November.

Kansas Attenda Freedom's Golden Jubilee in Los Angeles—Pleased With Dr. Vernon's Address and the Negro's Progress in Fifty Years. Our esteemed friend, Senator Geo. P. Morehouse, who is sojourning in Los Angeles, Cal., attended "Freedom's Golden Jubilee" in that city a few days ago, and writes the following interesting account of the meeting. Senator Morehouse is a broad, liberal minded man—one who believes that the man with a black skin should receive the same chance in the race of life as the white or any other man, that he is an American citizen and should be clothed with every right given to any other citizen. Eager to learn something of the giant progress made by the Negro in the past fifty years, and also hear it told by one of his staunch colored friends, the eloquent and logical Dr. W. T. Vernon, formerly of Kansas, Mr. Morehouse took advantage of the opportunity and attended the celebration. He writes: "Friend Chile: The other evening it was my privilege to attend the opening meeting of the great Jubilation of the colored race held in this city. Our mutual friend, Dr. W. T. Vernon, formerly of Kansas, but now of Jackson, Miss, was the drawing attraction of a large audience at the great Auditorium. "It was a fine representation of the loved folk of this region—the best looking, best dressed and best man- tured meeting of its kind I have ever witnessed. "Dr. Vernon measured up to the occasion by delivering the most scholarly and powerful address heard any where in many years. It was a great oration, called out by a great and historical occasion and wider publicity should have been given to it in the press. But every body is so busy out here exploiting this wonderful country that many important events take place with but brief notice." "Dr. Veronica seeing me in the audience, at the close of the meeting, called me to the platform and required a few words of encouragement from a Kansas man. It was so sudden, so unexpected, that I fear my weak words added little to a great event. "Enclosed find comment from The Times, which must have been prepared before, for it makes no mention of the interesting vocal contest for the prize soprano of the Pacific coast. It was a rare exhibition of the highest vocal talent by a number of trained colored lady soloists and would have entertained any audience of classical musicians. "The colored population of Southern California is increasing and it looks to the writer, that it will be a good place for many others of the Southland, who may feel that they are not properly appreciated or protected in the Gulf States of America. "It is a settled fact that California will not tolerate any more than possible of the Mongohan race. Some others must then come to help develop this region, the importance of which will increase with the opening of the Panama Canal. "Myrads will then come from Europe, and why may it not be a favorable place for many of our colored friends from the sunny South to further and even further develop along the pathway of civilization. "For many of the race, it would be far more congenial than what they have to endure below the Mason-Dixon line. GEO. P. MOREHOUSE." EMPORIA, KANSAS.

All Summer, it has been the scene of some of the swellest parties and pictures ever held in Topchka.

Miss Wilson requests The Plant-dealer to thank those who patronized her Garden, and say for that she wishes each and all unbounded success and happiness, and her patrons say ditto. Thus the person closes at Miss Wilson's Garden in a blaze of excitement, joy and good fellowship for all. WHLN N — HILCHSON, KANSAS, at the ROCK ISLAND RESTAURANT. Plain Sewing....

Farm and Garden DO YOU LIKE "SWEETS?" They're Fine With Gravy—Here's How You May Grow a Crop. Plant a few sweet potatoes in your garden this spring. They aren't hard to grow, and what is richer to eat than brown sweet potatoes with ginger? Besides, this vine is very ornamental, and its thick, dark foliage helps to make your vegetable garden more attractive. Sweet potatoes are grown by means of sets or sprouts which grow from the root lunds. It is best to get them from seed growers or gardeners. They require warm, moderately rich, sandy land. If the land is too fertile there will be a large growth of top at the expense of the root. The plants may be set out from the middle of May until the last of July or after the late frosts are over. The potsides may be grown on the level, but a ridge usually is preferred in the garden ridging may be done with a hoe, amaking the ridge about eighteen inches broad and six in high. The rows should be from three and a half to four feet apart. Set the points along the center of the ridge—they should be about two feet apart—and if the soil is moist it is only necessary to dip the roots in water before setting. But if it is unusually dry at this time it will be advantageous to sprinkle the potsides or soilily. When the plants are small they should be cultivated often enough to kill the weeds and keep a mellow surface later on the vines themselves will cover the ground, then cultivation is improbable as well as unstable. After the vines are too hard to cultivate they should be lifted occasionally or they are likely to take root at the joints and keep on forming more vines with no roots in the hill large enough to raise. The vines should be lifted once a week. Every vine should be house from hid to tip. This lifting must be done very rapidly with a pitchfork, but some care must be taken — but its industrialist. FOLKS OUT. STOCK IN. Here's a Simple Gate That Will Help to Solve the Problem. It is often inconvenient to pause and unlatch and take latch a gate between the barnyard or some other place where stock is kept and the garden or a field from which it is desired to keep and make away. To obviate such difficulties the plan illustrates will be found very convenient. As will be soon, the fence is made to and at two stout posts, be [From the American Agriculturist] STORAGE HOLLOW GATE tween which is a rather larger opening thin is mostly allowed for a footpath gate I read one of these posts the timing lines of fence are built to posts so as to form a V shaped opening, each ending at a post. On the other large line post is hinging the gate, which swings each way and either comes against the V shaped sides when pushed or may continue as as to strike the smaller posts.

The old English farmers put their a share about keeping barnyard manure into two lanes: Keep it moist and treat it tight. And it will well your care requite. That is pretty much the whole story.—Itural New Yorker. FARMING WITH BRAINS. Never venture upon an old bridge with team or machinery without seeing that it is firm and safe for heavy weights. If the fertility of the soil is to be maintained it must be supplied with vegetable matter. Turn under cover crops and increase the humus supply. According to the Iowa Press bulletin No. 12, sodium arsenite is the only chemical that will entirely destroy the Canada thistle. It is applied at the rate of one and a half pounds to fifty two gallons of water. Do not expect the hired man to feel satisfied if you leave him alone with all the chores while you are away visiting unless you are willing to do the same for him occasionally. Hired men are human beings and will, as a rule, appreciate fair treatment.

Eight Arguments In Favor of Poultry Brought by the General Forces A well known Canadian professor at Ottawa, in reply to the question, "Why is poultry valuable to the farmer?" gave the following reasons: Because he ought by this means to convert a great deal of the waste of his farm into money in the shape of eggs and chickens for market. Because with intelligent management bens ought to be all year revenue producers, with the exception of perhaps two months during the molting period. Because poultry will yield him a quicker return for his capital invested than any of the other departments of agriculture. Because the manure from the poultry house will make a valuable compost for use in either vegetable garden or orchard. The birds themselves, if allowed to run in plum or apple orchard, will destroy all injurious insect life. Because, while cereals and fruits can only be successfully grown in certain sections, poultry can be raised for table use or layers of eggs in all parts of the country. Because poultry raising is an employment in which the farmer's wife and daughters can engage and leave him free to attend to other departments. Because it will bring the best return in the shape of new laid eggs during the winter season, when the farmer has most time on his hands. Because to start poultry raising on the farm requires little or no capital Under any circumstances, with proper management, poultry can be made with little cost a valuable adjunct to the farm WHAT'S IN A FARM NAME? Every Comfortable Homestead Is North of Our Retirement Title Worth Its Own Distinctive Title. Every good man and woman has a cherished memory of the old home where old children's days were spent, and if that old home was on a farm that form should have a name that will distinguish it from all other farms of the county. Nearly every other business house, factory or firm has adopted a name and a credit is established. Every farm is worthy of a name and every farmer can make a reputation and establish a credit for his farm and its products through intelligent, careful study and the adoption of approved modern methods of procedure. A well chosen name sends dignity to a place and is a sort of trademark which distinguishes it and its products; it characterizes its owner as a man of pride and stimulates all who are interested in it or its products to do and to be the best. We believe that a well selected name will furnish an incentive for better farming; that all implements, tools, vehicles, crates and products whenever possible should have the name of the farm indelibly stamped upon them; that it should adorn every entrance to the farm and be printed upon all stationery used on the farm. We believe that the same should relate to some distinct feature of the farm, its location, topography or products. Illinois Farmers' Institute Feeding Value of Pumpkins Pumpkins are about 100 per cent water. It has been estimated that two and one half tons of pumpkins equal in feeding value about one ton of silage and that twenty pounds of pumpkins contain as much digestible protein as a pound of corn. The principal value of pumpkins lies in their succulence and as a part of the ration are valuable for all kinds of live stock - Kansas Farmer. Labor Saving Log Roller. ```markdown ``` On every farm where there is timber of large size there ought to be a cottook, an implant shown in the picture, for the purpose of moving heavy logs, says Home and Farm from which picture and description are taken. It will save a tremendous amount of heavy lifting, and also man with a cottook can do as much, or even more, than two with it. The handle should be about five feet long and the iron book about twelve in. long, or if very large logs are to be used fifteen inches. The hook should work closely on a belt through the handle and the "husband end" be slightly curved inward and at ways kept sharp. Farmers in the future will not be so anxious to manage large farms, but will be more concerned in sewing large yields per new hectare is teaching what can be accomplished by the intelligent use of manure and fertilizers so that the yield of our farms may be increased.
