The We6ther-Winter Pasture.

On Sept. rs, the drought was still un-
broken ovt the large section where it has
prevailed for these many weeks. In Mid
die Georgia at that date, there was
hardly anything green to be seen. Pas
lures, as o rule, were as dead as they
usually are in late october. Some years
our pastures are almost at their best
about the first of October. This year
stock will suffer considerably from hay
ing to go into winter quarters after such
scan. heritage as they have had to Craze
on Tor the past six weeks.
Here in Middle Georgia often times our
Bermuda pastures afford very good graz
ing as late as November.
When stock can enter upon winter after
such late pasturage, it costs very little
TO keep them in fair condition until pas
turage comes again. 1t is a great loss to
have pasture fail almost entirely in Au-
gust as it has this year.
The soil was so dry and hard it was
not possible to pillow it any time in Sep
TENDER, consequently no grain or clover
could be sown to make winter pasture.
Well we must do the best we can. As
soon as a rain does come we must plow
and sow. What shall we sow? Where
the object is simply to get grazing for

a nan hours grazing about midday or in

no need for stock trampling over such
pasture all day long running twice as
much as they eat. With a mixture Of

worth every bit of $50 per acre from first

Pip in Fowls.

Editor Morning News: What causes the
pip on fowls? The best informed man on
poultry in Chatham county tells me there
is no such thing as pip" and yet for
twenty-five years l have been handling
fowls in flocks of ten to three hundred, the
pip has always given me more or less
trouble. Now we all know that the hard
substance that forms under the tongue of
a fowl is commonly known as pip, and
the usual way is to remove it by use of the
finger nail, and then to apply mixture
of blackpepper and salt to the tongue. My
friend, alluded to above, tells me he never
has the pip trouble in his poultry yard
and he keeps fully five-hundred fowls.
This pip appears in different fowls in my
yards, and unless taken off causes the
fowl to droop and die, as the fowl can not
eat grain when it has bad case of pip. 1
feed a mash every morning and grain
(corn, oats and rough rice in the evening.
l have known cases where the pip was not
removed the fowls tongue finally rotted
nearly off. Is there any way to prevent
this pip and if not. then what do you re-
commend as a treatment for it.

Poultry.

From a practical experience with poul-
try and poultry raising for over thirty
years, we long ago arrived at the con-
clusion that the horn-like substance that
appeared at times upon the tongue of
chickens is not a disease in itself, but the
symptom of Indigestion. In all these
years we have never know fowls, large
or small to die of the pip" Fowls that
are properly fed and watered and are
given cleanly roosting places and pro-
tected from inclement weather, are rare
ly subject to any disease. Prevention
must always be the watchword in a poul-
try yard. The curing Of disease is
very uncertain thing. If care is not taken
that the water is perfectly fresh and
pure disease of some kind is sure to
show itself. Give water in iron vessels,
in which a few rusty nails are placed.
Feed whole grain, as their main food,
and provide a clean house and surround
ings, and you are not likely to have any
trouble. In the fall, at the moulting pc
riod extra care should be given to fowls.
Indigestion of pip is more likely to occur
at that period.

Good Roads.

there must come before our legislators, at
no distant date, some considerations
which will tend to improve the country

States already have elaborate road laws,
which, as far as we can learn, are produc-
ing good results. There are some phases
of the question, however, which should
be brought at once to the attention of our
people. Among them are increased taxa

Hints for Amateur Photographers.

To prevent chemicals running down the
sides of the bottle when pouring, coat the
rim of the bottle with paraffine wax by
dipping the mouth of the bottle in the
melted wax.
All trays must be washed after using.
The decomposition of chemicals iii an UNI
washed tray will often spoil fresh solu-
tons if put into the tray. Never leave
solutions standing in trays; when through
using turn the solution into glass bottle.
When not in use trays should be turned
upside down on a shelf or table.
Developing solutions should be filtered
between each using. Bits of film often
come off the plate, and if left in the de-
veloper will settle on the plate and cause
spot on the negative. The better way
is to filter solution after using and be-
fore returning it to the bottle.
To ensure perfectly clear negatives al
ways use clean hypo. Hypo which has
been used several times becomes a dark
/ muddy color, and is apt to stain the neg
ative. Hypo is SO cheap that one can
afford to use fresh, and run no risk of
spelling negatives.
In placing plates in the holders, instead
of using brush, take piece of surgeon S
cotton, roll it into a soft ball, and rub
lightly over the plate. This will remove
the specks of dust, and will not scratch
the plate.
| 1t often happens when travelling that a
dark room is not always to be found in
which to charge plates in the holders.
The provident amateur carries a candle
with him, and when no dark room is con-
venient he lights the candle, sets it under
a table, and charges the plates on the ia
BILE. This can be done with perfect safe
ty if care is taken that no reflected light
strikes the plates. The plates being in
the shadow, and the light from the can
die being rather dim, the plates are not
injured any more than by red light.
