THE SUCCESSFUL PoULTERER

SEE that every fowl gets its share of
feed.
FATTENING fowls should be fed at
least five times day all that they will
eat up clean.
KEEP the fowls gentle; they will be
much easier managed than if they run
every time you go towards them.
GATHER the scraps from the table
and give them TO your fowls. There is
no kind of food that is better for them.
KEEPING handful of old nails in the
drinking water will afford good tonic
for the fowls, or an iron vessel can be
used to hold the water.
THE best plan of supplying charcoal
to the poultry is to burn corn; not
black but nicely Drowned; give them
all they will eat up clean.
CRUDE carbolic acid is one of the best
materials to use among the poultry. It
is good to destroy vermin, to prevent
cholera and to use as a tonic.
THE hen is an excellent agent for
scratching and working over manure,
and she will find many dainty morsels
therein that would be of little value
otherwise

Insanity of Millionaires.

The increased strain put on the mon
ey-making man at the present time, es-
pecially if he is engaged in speculation,
is something tremendous. Time was,
that the very rich people were either
those who had inherited a goodly for
tune, or those who had accumulated
wealth by long years Of steady devotion
to business. Then, too, q millionaire
was wonder; now, anything short OF
five to twenty million puts a man out of
the category of ''the rich" Under the
present conditions. every faculty
must be constantly under whip and spur,
and dangerous nervines are often resor-
ted to. No wonder there are so many
cases of death from ''heart failure" a.
mong the milliopaires. The way to a
void this. is to cease SO much making
haste to be rich, to know when one is
well off. and to always select the luXuri-
Gus train of The Burlington when about
to make a journey either for business OF
pleasure. Information about rates and
routes to all points, can be obtained

A NEW IDEA,

Comptroller-General w. A. Wright
is reported as being in favor of an
amendment to the constitution ex,
empting from taxation all cultivated
land in the state. He gives the fol.
lowing reasons for his new theory:
Because | believe it would tead &c
give the farmers relief which they SC
much need.
Ito relieve the farmers from the
taxes on land in actual cultivation
would lead to several good results.
at would mean lower rate of
taxation, an increased value of such
land, and an increased demand tor it.
1t would encourage investment in cul-
tivated land, and discourage the pur-
chase of land in Georgia for mere
speculative purposes.
Not only this. 1t would cause cer-
tain folks who are now holding thous-
ands upon thousands OF acres of uncul.
tivated land to cultivate it, and it
would do more to attract to Georgia
the right kind of immigrants than
anything which could possibly be
done"
The idea is anovel one; and we be-
lieve it would accomplish the results
given blythe Comptroller-General, but
the state would "pay very dear for
the whistler"
