There are farms Of only ten acres that
pay because every acre receives manure or
fertilizer year after year, while large farms
give no profit because the soil is poor. The
remedy for low prices is larger yields per
acre, and not more land. There is always
greater expense the larger the are worked,
and when the average yield per acre begins
to fall off it is time to lop off some of the
land and bring up the other portion to its
original fertility.

The male lambs should be castrated
when one or two weeks old The risk is
then reduced to minimum, and the pain

Cultivating the soil to keep down weeds

Runt pigs and small lambs are the result
of lack of food. The young animals are
crowded out of place of place by those that
are stronger, few pigs getting much more
than their share at the expense of the
weaker, and the strong lambs monopolize
the ground food in the troughs. AS any
drawbacks at the start are not quickly
overcome the runt pigs do not soon over
take the others and consequently is unpro-
fitable.

There is always a strong desire to try

There are already more good varieties than

GUBERNATORIAL POLITICS.

Politicians Looked For,
There were recently some suggestions
that there would be no candidate from
upper Georgia or the upper part of mid
ole georgia tor the gOvernorship. There
was apparently an entire absence of in
Cerest IN politics in those usually very
acuVe sections. 1t seems, however, that
observers at distance were mistaken,
what they thought to be phenomenal
state OF political quietude in the upper
part OF the state was something else
Inc observers were shorr-sighted. or
dIdnt see straight. 1t appears now
ttat, so far from there being no candi-
oates IN upper or middle Georgia. the
woods arc full of candidates. They
have simply been saving their breath,
while aspirants in other parts OF the
state are beginning to tire already. 1t
is said that the "CapitOl ring" is coaching
as candidate one of the present occu-
pants OF capitol office, and he is a very
strong man, not only politically but 9th
erWlse. He is receiving the strong sup
port OF that able politician, the present
incumbent of the gubernatolial chair.
Inc nomination, if reports are correct,
is TO be secured, as it were, by house.
toulouse canvass among local politicians
IN the counties, and by liberal promises
OF good things to those who help, and of
condign punishment to those who fail to
fall down and worship. 1t is the old
combination over again, with a new
ring-master. However, it is but Just to
the gentleman who is mentioned to state
that he is built on a much broader
guage than the present executive of the

Inherited
Blood TaiiDt.

Here is a case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
complete wreck of an innocent voung
life. The most serious feature of bein9
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
IN the blood forces the undesirable leg
accy OF impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
ltance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has a trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofu1a are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
lions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
a majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, SO that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall vic
tim to dreaded consumption.

which can have any effect whatever

A CRANK'S HOLY HORROR
A PENNSYLVANIA MAN ASKS AN
INVESTIGATION.

Heard of the Sensational Story of How a
Fake Negro Preacher Was Kidnapped
and Put in the Georgia Penitentiary,
The recent publication of the Byrd re-
port on the horrors of the misdemeanor
convict camps of Georgia has caused all
sorts of fake stories to be sent through
cut the country, especially in the north
and west, where anything to the dscred-
1t of the south is eagerly seized upon
and magnitied.
Governor Atkinson has received a let
ter from iState Senator John II. Lands
of Pennsylvania giving official color to
the story OF Jonas II. Price, an alleged
preacher who declares that he was kid
mapped and sent to work in one of the
Georgia and Florida gangs. The Penn
sylyania senator believes the alleged
investigation. He has laid the matter
before Governor Hastings of Penusylva-
MIA as well as Governor Atkinson.
The Keystone crank encloses the gov
ernor newspaper clipping giving an in
terVleW with the fake preacher, and
then says: 81 herein enclose the result
