gate. If he wants to live a quiet life
> with people who own their own home
[ and are satisfied with the society of
> their families and the neighborhood,
; he can live there. In neither case
I does it interfere with his business,
| which Is entirely distinct from his
; home.
1 The case with the farmer is quite
J different. His business and his home
i are the same; and if his farm is lo
8 cated in a bad neighborhood, he can
i not move the farm and his business.
[ All he can do Is to set to work to
» improve the neighborhood and thus
! make it a desirable place in which to
live. If he is so unfortunate as to
get a farm in a bad neighborhood
and has to sell It, he must take a
. lower price. Hence, even from the
, money point of view, which is the
1 lowest point. It would pay every
■ farmer to go to a good deal of ex
, pense, if necessary, and a great deal
- of time and labor, to make his neigh
brohood as nearly Ideal as possible.
How can this be done? No one
else can do It but the people in the
neighborhood; and If they are to lm
. prove their neighborhood, they must
get together. The neglect of getting
together heretofore is the great bane
of the American farm,
i The aim should be to develop in the
neighborhood all that is good, beau*
tlful, pure and true, all that goes to
make good society. This work must
be begun, as all other good things
have been, by a few of the choicer
spirits getting together and taking
counsel, as they would for neighbor- 1
hood Improvement In material things
discouraging everything in the shape
of profanity, vulgarity, coarseness—
everything that does not fit in with
better country society. If there are
persons in the neighborhood who are
selfish, coarse in their tastes, mere
money grabbers, they will in time get
out or mend their ways; for the so
cial movement in the end purifies
societies.
You can not have perfect society
this side the other world; but by a
little co-operation and effort, it can
be made so much better than the
present that wre will wonder how we
managed to live In the olden days.—

How to Make A Day’s Picnic Pay.
Now that autumn has arrived and
frost will soon have the hickory nuts
down, every family should take some
Saturday, when the children are not
In school, and go nutting. Get as
many as you can. A prize or so
might be offered to the one who gets
the most nuts.
When gathered and dry, store them
away until chicken feed gets scarce,
and the price of eggs is high, then
take a block and an axe and crack or
mash up about half a gallon nuts to
25 or 30 hens about every other day.
The hens will eat all the kernels and
a good part of the finer shells, which
are fine feed for them. They relish
this change in the ration, and it is a
good egg producer. I have tried It

THE PHILO SYSTEM.
Messrs. Editors: Mr. E. R. Philo,
the originator of the "Philo System,”
is a man nearing middle life and has
spent thirty years in "fooling with
chickens,” and the knowledge gained
in those thirty years should be worth
something even if one can not be
lieve in all his theories. I have read
i and studied his system, which em
braces about 67 subjects, very care
fully, and have put many of them
into practice. When one first reads
( the wonderful things he has accom
plished, it does not seem possible
that all this can be done within a
[ very limited space, yet he did it, and
• why not you? And that he did and
, Is doing It there is ample testimony
- In cold facts and figures. For in
stance, he claims to have made $1,
l 000 from 60 hens in 8 months; this
is nearly $17 from each hen; yet he
did it. But let me say right here, he
didn’t let any grass grow under his
r feet while doing it. My Impression
J Is that if one takes up the system in
. its entirety, he will eat no idle bread
, nor find time to even view a circus
> parade passing through the town. It
! would be "strictly business,” but ac
• cording to him, it pays.
The most convincing evidence that
. I can give you is that in North Caro

Douglas Mixture.
Messrs. Editors: Douglas mixture,
a tonic very generally used by poul
try raisers, and which should be al
ways on hand, Is prepared as follows:
One pound of copperas to a gallon of
water. After the copperas has dis
solved, add V6 ounce of sulphuric
acid, which suspends the copperas, or
causes It to permeate the entire
water; If omitted the copperas would
all settle to the bottom. A stone
Jug Is a suitable and convenient ves
sel to keep the mixture In, and when
the mixture Is In such a receptacle It
will keep Indefinitely. Two table
spoonfuls added to each gallon of
water given the chickens will assist
them through all trying periods.
UNCLE JO.
Don't Over-Crowd.
One primary cause of colds and
roup In the fall Is placing too many
chicks In the same coop, or allowing
too many to crowd together after
they are weaned. To avoid this, the
brooder house Bhould be built long
enough to have It separated Into
several pens, allowing not more than
two broods (30 chicks) to each pen,
and have low poles for the hen to
teach them to go upon when she
wants to wean them. ThlB precau
tion now will save much worry and
loss later when several broods of
weaned chicks all want to huddle in
one corner, smothering some and
overheating others, which Is worse
in the end than If they had been
killed at once, since It results In a
diseased condition (colds and roup)
which will spread to others.
