FINE SHOWING FOR THE YOUNG

FINE SHOWING FOR THE YOUNG
EST COUNTY IN THE STATE.
The Picayune's Mississippi eds
ition of July 9th, has the following
to say of the "Pearl'' county of the
STATE and its capital, Poplarville:
"Pearl River is the youngest, and
also the smallest county ID Mlssise
sippi, having been created by the
legislature in 1890 by taking strips
from the southern part of Marion
and the northern part of HaEcock
counties. Although young in
years, it ranks among the foremost
counties in south Mississippi. 1t
has a brick courthouse and brick
Jail, costing in the aggregate about
$4,000, all fully paid. The county
has no outstanding bonds or wars
rants, cashes all it's warrants, school
and general, and has in Its treasury
several thousand dollars iu cash.
The total tax levy IS s mills, of
which one half mill is for school
purposes; and by means of this ad-
ditional levy tax all the public
schools are run one month extra of
the state distribution. Lumberton,
a hustiing town in the northern par.
OF the county, has had good semi
public school for several years.
Poplarville, the county capital, Is
the only seperate school district in
the county, and has maintained for
the past four years a fourishlng
school, which is free for nine months
to all students. The school proper~
ty is worth about $4,000, and is
perhaps the most credltable in any
town of the same size in the state.
A magnificent three-story building
has been erected for the accommo-
dation of the boarders; and in ad-
ditiou to 100 local students nearly
100 boarders from various parts of
Mississippi and Louisiana can test
ify to the popularity of Poplarville
High School. This is essentially a
piny woods county, and large mills
are located at Lumberton, Hillsn
dale, Orvisburg, PopIarYille, Derby,
Gale donna and Lacey. The Lum-
berton mill is now filling 5,OOO,-
000-foot contract with st. Louis
firm. Turpentine stills are located
at various points, and are doing
fourishlng business, Thousands
of sheep and cattle roam over the
fine pasturage of the county. Log
ging and stave.makiEg are extern
sively engaged in on Pearl river and
other streams. The land is gener-
ally level, the soil is sandy, having
a good clay foundation and suscep-
tible of high state of cultivation.
AS the timber is cut the land Is bes
ing rapidly opened up into nice
farms, on which variety of prod
ucts may be grown, such as corn,
cotton, hay, potatoes, peas, oats,
rice, tobacco, market vegetables,
etc. A variety of fruits are grown,
and the county will ultimately be
great fruit and vegetable country.
Land is cheap, ranging from S1.50
to $40 per acre. The climate is
mild and the health Of the county is
uusurpassed,'

Eating Slowly.

The opinion that hurry in eating is
prolific cause of dyspepsia is founded on
common observation. The ill results of
boiling food have been attributed to the
lack of thorough mastication and to the
incomplete action of the saliva upon the
food. Two thirds of the food which we
eat is starch, and starch cannot be util.
lied in the system as food until it has
been converted into sugar, and this
change is principally effected by the
saliva But there is third reason why
rapidity of eating interferes with diges-
ton. The presence Of the salivary secre-
ton in the stomach acts as a stimulus
to the secretion of the gastric juice. r.
respective of the mechanical function Of
the teeth, food which goes into the
stomach incompletely mingled with
saliva passes slowly and imperfectly
through the process of stomach digcs-
ton. Therefore, as a sanitary maxim of
no mean value, teach the children to
eat slowly, and in giving this instruc-
ton by example the teacher as we'll "a
the pupil may receive benefit. Troy
Times.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-12-04

Leaky roofs are bad thing for the
chickens. Damp and muddy yards
are prolific cause of disease. Give
the fowls dry places in which to run
and to roost.
Never shut the fowls up in such
cramped quarters that they cannot
take sufficient exercise to promote
digestion. They will not only be-
come unhealthy, but too fat to lay.
AS food, mouldy grain and sour
refuse will not fill the bill. Good
eggs cannot produce unless the
fowls have good raw material from
which to manufacture them.
The fruit tree sprayer is a good in
strument with which to apply the
disinfectants in the poultry house.
KEROSENE will kill insects; a solution
of carbolic acid will destroy disease
germs.
By making small start with
poultry in the autumn one becomes
accustomed to their needs and to
the best methods of handling them
before the real serious work of set
ting and Matching begins.
Let the turkeys run until 10 days
before marketing them, and then
shut them up close and give them
fattening food. They will rapidly
increase in weight and improve in
quality.
With turkeys, as with all other
kinds of live stock, the best profit
will be found in the improved
breeds, and especially in the bronze
varieties. Yearling bronze turkeys
can easily be made to weigh p
pounds.
II grain is fed in a trough fowls
will simply stand up and gorge
themselves. Scatter it well and
compel them to take some exercise
with their meals. Feed only such
food thus as would be otherwise
wasted.

Horticulture.

Humboldt said that in destroying
the forests upon our mountains and
in our valleys men have, under all
chimes, prepared for subsequent gem
erations two calamities at once
lack of fuel and want of water.
If you pasture the young orchard,
first put such a guard about the
trees the stock can reach neither
trunk nor branch. Even if not kill
ed, many yonng tree is thus de-
formed forever.
1t is not wise to bank the celery
with earth during hot weather. This
way of doing is what makes so much
celery rusty. Use boards for bleach
ing until cool weather sets in.
One of the many things which it
is necessary for the grower of straw
berries to know is that pistillate va
rieries will stand frost better than
the staminates. If planting in the
/ fall, remember this.
Disease most readily attacks both
the plant or the animal which is the
least thrifty. Give The orchard or
the garden "A good start, and then
push them right along, and you are
pretty safe.
Mulching of the berry patches
may often be delayed until January /;
then apply thickly between the
rows to retain moisture in the
spring, and light chaff directly OH
the rows, to be raked off if need be.
Theoretically there should be no
application to the bark of trees
which will stop the pores, but prac-
tically washing the trunks with lime
has been found to produce clean and
healthy bark, anu to be beneficial.
In packing fruit for market do not
permit even one imperfect specimen
to creep in! One damaged fruit will
detract fromsthe value of all, and
may spoil 20'before they are sold.
