L. Il. Brooks Of Indian Greek,
was in town one day this week
and informed us that he has ITO
acres of land sown in wheat and
that it was looking exceedingly
well. Mr.. Brooks is an excellent
farmer, has one of The best farms
in the county, and always raises a
quantity of wheat.
We want to say this much to
the merchants of Savannah. At
present in a radius of only few
miles the Courier visits the homes
of some four hundred families of
people, the most of whom do their
trading here. 1t pays to adver-
tise in your county paper. The
merchants that are advertising,
say it brings them good results.
In order to convince you of the
merits of printers ink in bringing
you trade, we offer special rates
to advertisers until JAM, l. Now
is the time TO place your fall trade

$500, 900 yearlings wethers and ewes
and 4 .96S, 632 are lambs. 1t would seem
from the above that the French peo-
pie have not gone daft on baby mutton
but have very wholesome respect for
big, well fed wethers, which furnish a
large part of the mutton for the fas-
tidious French taste. And strange as
it may seem to many good Americans,
who think Merino mutton unfit for the
table, the Rambouillet Merino fu.r'
nishes the choice cuts for the most ex-
elusive tables and daintiest palates in
all this land of accomplished cooks and

the number to be marketed will be
short, the quality is such as to afford
competition of a pretty active kind for
good native cattle in July, when the
range season opens. The feed Condi-
lions on the ranges will be quite favor
able, and the rather limited number
that will run on them will have a ten
dency to send them to market in very
superior condition. The range cattle
men have been for the past two or
three. years paying large and lncreas-
ing attention to their breeding. They
don't regard anything as too good for
them, and 1t would surprise most read
ers If they did but know how large has
been the number of car loads of pure
bred bulls that have gone West this
season. This policy Is having very
decided effect upon the cattle that will
come from the ranges this season, and,
as each season passes, the impress of
pure blood will become stronger, so
that in the future, in all years when
they have feed on their ranges, they
may be expected to be strong COMPETE
tors with the market cattle grown on
the farms.

lures and then introduced into a

appears to be the yellows. / contend
that the digging out of trees weakened
from any cause whatever, must result
in the improved condition of orchards
anywhere; that the trees remaining
will naturally receive more care and
attention and consequently will i'm
prove more rapidly than If the same
amount of care were extended over a
larger number of trees, but that this
is no proof that contagion existed and
has been prevented by this treatment.
The improvement in the orchards Of
Michigan since the peach yellows law
was enacted has come, believe, more
from the increased intelligence aud
skill of the growers than from the in
fiuence of the law. The orchardlsts in
that section grow their trees more
carefully and skillfully than formerly,
they use chemicals instead of stable
manure, plant only on soil we'll adapt
ed to the growth of the peach, and
fully understand that it does not pay
to grow peaches on weakened trees
any more than it does other fruit, UNI
der the same conditions, and especial
ly so when young and vigorous trees
can be grown up to fruiting size In
three or four years. These causes alone
are sufficient to account for all the
improvement reported which could
have been brought about by the grow
ers themselves and nearly all Of the
expense attending the execution of the
provision ST this law saved. Some
credit may 10 given the law for this
improvement, but a great principle is
involved that should not be violated
and many believe such laws unconsti-
tutional because no wrong has been
proved.

Below is given the ideas on peach
yellows in Farmers Bulletin No. H.,
by Prof. Erwin r. Smith, the gov
eminent specialist and perhaps the
best authority on peach yellows in
the country: There has been much
speculation respecting the nature of
this disease, inasmuch as climate and
soil do not seem able to originate a
plainly communicable malady, and no
fungus. bacteria or animal parasite
has been identified as the cause. At
present peach yellows seems nearest
allied to that phenomenon in plants
known as variegation. It is now rec
ognized that variegation in many
plants is q disease manifesting itself

the prospects are better than they have
been for years, nor is the encourage
ment entirely in prospect merely, since
the sales that are taking place from
week to week show a steady and con-
tinuous stiffening of prices with very
marked increase in demand. All the
beef breeds are bringing good figures
for cattle of both sexes and all ages.
Market cattle of good quality and fin
Lsh are also doing well for their feed
ers, while the cheap stuff without
breeding or capacity for taking fin
lsh are losing about as much money
for their owners as usual. The mar

ed emphasis that there is profit in
good cattle and little or none in scrub

Renewal of Small Fruit plat..

VIII 1t pay to continue strawberry
beds more than one year? That de-
ponds much ON the condition of the bed
at the close of the fruiting season. If
the ground is rich, the rows we'll filled
out, the crop light, and nearly free
from grass and weeds, it will then usu-
ally pay to continue one, two or more
years. If, however, plants are ex-
hausted by large yield, and grass and
weeds have been allowed to grow, it
will be more work to place old beds
in condition than to prepare new ones.

ity. To renew old beds, NOV off plants.
AS soon as dry burn over, reduce VOWS
to six or eight inches in width with
spade or cultivatOr. Remove all weeds
every particle Of grass, apply a liberal
dressing of fine manure, cultivate and
keep clean same as with new beds.
Right here is one of the great bene-
fits of keeping new beds perfectly clean.
1t sSlyes a large amount of labor when
beds are continued more than one
year. Old beds produce berries a little
earlier, and second year is often better
than the first, when treated in this
manner.
The bearing canes OF raspberries ana
blackberries should be removed i'm
mediately after fruiting. Cut out all
small weak cafes, leaving only five or
six in the hill. The removal of old
canes leaves no hiding place for worm
or bug, or eggs for same. 1t also al
lows the free circulation OF air and
the sun penetrates the center of the
bush, making canes strong and vigor-
GUS with good development of fruit
buds for the following season. The
removal and burning of all dead, weak
and surplus growth is the best pre-
ventive against disease. In berry
growing, remember that good work for
two seasons is necessary. First, the
most important, to grow, develop and
mature strong, healthy canes, vines
and buds for next seasons fruit. Sec
ond, to mature the fruit, which de-
ponds very much on the care and

standard Varieties Of chickens.


Cochins.-The four Cochin classes
are very popular with breeders. They
are second to the Brahma classes in
the meat breeds, weighing but pound
lighter than the Light Brahma. Old
and experienced breeders OF Cochins
are pronounced in praise Of their quail
tiles as profitable fowls, they being
hardy, good winter layers Of rich,
brown, medium-sized eggs, and fairly
good table fowls. The chicks grow

of the Cochin class; their soft, mel

when the same wood cuts served for
many purposes. At the head of St.

Mount Olympus, Leda, the siren; Daph-

said of the pictures is that they are
good examples Of old art
The "Bugge" Bible is exceedingly
rare. Psalm xci., 8, reads in the Mat
thew Bible (1551), 80 that thou shalt
not nede to be afrayed for anye bugges
by nyghte," BY bugge is meant DO
gie." A perfect 'Bugge" Bible will
bring 5000 or more.
Occasionally the "Breeches" Bible
turns up. In Genesis, ill.,, T. the text
reads: And they sewed fig-tree leaves
together and made themselves
breaches. Coverdale makes it
'apruns"-and perhaps comes nearer
to primitive fashions.
A queer mistake is in what is called
the He" Bible. In Ruth, iii, Is, the
compositor unsexed Ruth and makes
her "he." This blunder was printed in
1911 The edition in which the word
is corrected is known as the she" BIZ
BILE.
The "Treacle" Bible is the one in
which the balm of Gilead" Jeremiah
Wild, is made to read, There is no
more treacle at Galaad." When this
double blunder was made In 1877 trans
lator and printer were held to task and
oil the copies were destroyed but some
few escaped "Treacle" or "triacle" is
not, after all, such a blunder, because
in the sixteenth century treacle meant
which assuaged pain. Galaad was per-
haps the compositor's mistake.
The Wooden Leg" Bible is so called
from a picture, where Satan, with that
conspicuous tail which belongs to the
part, sports a wooden leg, But why of
wood? There may be many surmises
INDUCED in. One is that, in the Eng
land of that time there were numerous
soldiers who were tramps, and some
