"A Place for Fowl. to Roll. r

The trouble that many farmers have, in
keeping fowls out of the garden is be-
cause they do not provide q substitute.
It is natural for hens. to seek a busting
place where they can clear off any vermin
that may be on them, or without regard
to this to take a. dust bath. which is

the henhouse should be ploWed and sown
with grain. It need be only u few feet
square, and may be dug with a spade in
few minutes. Then scatter and lightly
cover enough grain to keep the fowls
busy. It is astonishing how much of the
time this rolling place will be occupied
and the garden will wholly escape. When
the hen goes to the garden she makes dl-

ORDER OF AMERICAN FIREMEN.

Purposes of the Order.

Savannah Council No. 1 Organized.
Purposes of the Order.
The city Of Savannah makes no provis-
ion for the care of its firemen either killed
or wounded in the discharge of duty, al
though it is a we'll recognized fact that
life insurance companies class hremen as
one of the most dangerous risks they can
take and only take them at prohibitory
rate of premium.
In addition to this, by a recent enact
ment of city council the pay of a fireman
can be stopped if he is laid up by sick
ness, even though this sickness has been
brought on by a too close, perhaps, adher-
ance to duty.
This state of affairs does not only obtain
in Savannah but outside of the larger
cities exists the entire country over. and
has thus made the fremen fall back upon
themselves as it WERE and has broue-ht
into existence the order of American Fire.
men.
The aims and objects of the order are
to encourage fraternal, social and bene-
fetal relations among its members bv
