Care OF Work Horse.

Break to lead when young, never
put halter on that may be broken,
as a break may spoil the colt. Feed
grain as soon as possible Break to
drive early. Never work until a
years old. In breaking colt, al
ways hitch with a steady, strong
horse. Always have the harness fit
well, especially the collar. A work
horse should have daily 2 pounds of
feed for every 100 pounds of live
weight, and Is pounds of this should
be grain. 1t is a mistake to feed
as much hay as most farmers do.
Water before and after feeding.
Keep the teeth in good shape, as all
the reward and pleasure that many
of cur farm horses receive is what
they eat, and we should see that
this process is not painful.

Set all the duck eggs possible.
Give the hens all the skim milk

A pair of geese should yield 50

Vary the food sufficiently to keep
the fowls in good appetite.
Keep fat hens on ground oats
and avoid corn and wheat.
One of the best remedies for over
fatness is plenty of exercise.
At this time it is poor economy
to stint the growing chickens.
A little salt in the soft food given
to the fowls will be acceptable.
AS wacn weather comes OH lice

Young poultry of no kind should
be allowed to wade around in the
wet grass.
Give the hens all possible freedom
of range and there will be less soft
shelled eggs.
The pullet that begins to lay
earliest in life vii lay the largest
number of eggs.
Nothing will prevent Il hen from
laying sooner than an expensive
diet of cornmeal.
Food rich in oil should not be fed
to hens except in small quantities,
especially in warm weather.
Pigeons will thrive in small
yards. They must be mated or an
extra male will cause them tc
quarrel.
1t is not the largest fowl that is
the most vigorous, but the one with
the full, bright eye, heavy bone and
compact body.
A small yard Is the best place IN
which to keep goslings until they

Growth will continue without being

the boxes in barrel until next
year. For melons or cucumbers put
about three seeds in each box, and
after they are started, thin to two
seeds and set two boxes in each hill
when taken to the field The adj

packers, at Chicago, were sent a
number of questions, which are be-
low with the answers received
l. What weight of hog usually
commands the highest prices, and
why?
One hundred and seventy. five to
one hundred and eighty pounds;
depending, OF course, on the demand
for foreign shipment.
2. What weight of hog is in
greatest demand 10y packers, and
why?
This depends largely on the pro-
vision market. We prefer fat hogs
generally, except for export trade
3. In huying hogs do you in
quire how they have been fed, or
upon what kind OF food, and does
this kind of food upon which they
have beed fatted affect the price,
other things being equal?
No. Quality and condition is
the main point; the kind of food
affects the price to certain extent,
fro hn al.
pound hog for bacon brings top price.
A. What breed Of hogs do you
prefer if you have any preference,
and why?
Poland, Chinas and Berkshire.
s. Have you any preference as
between the black and white hogs?
IF so, why?
No discrimination is made.
Quality is what is wanted, although
the white hog makes cleaner car
cass.
6. l. there II sufficient demand
for the bacon hog, such as is pro-
duced in Cnnaia, Ireland or Dem
mark, for the English market, to
warrant an increase in the product
ion of such hogs by the American
farmers?
Yes; there is All increasing de-
mand for bacon hogs running no
to 1870 pounds gross weight.
Z. In your judgement can the
bacon hog he as proftably or more
proftably produced by farmers in
the corn belt than the common
American hog?
No.
3. From your experience as
packers and marketers of pork, what
suggestions have you to make to
the hog raisers as to what is the
most desirable hog for the market,
and how it should be made?
This depends entirely on the pro.
ducer. He will have To be governed
by location and the kinds of food
raised.

The public school is becoming
most popular in America because
it is best suited to the needs of
people, and a casual examination
will show that the public school
loses very rapidly in popular esti-
nation when its course extends
beyond the grammar grades
Schoolmen may theorize about
what ought to be, but we are con-
fronted with conditions as they
are. If we are to have an ednca-
ted people, we must cease our eff
forts to train everybody for pro-
fession, and direct attention more
to trade and industrial education.
This is the true theory.

A few weeks since the site upon
which the Spaulding cotton mills,
near Griffin, are being built was
a large cotton field, the solitude
of which was broken only by the
plantation melodies of the cotton
pickers as they gathered the fleecy
staple, whitening under the hot
August sun. Today it is teeming
with mechanics, carpenters, brick.
masons and scores of laborers un.
loading material from dozen
cars to go into the large buildings
which are sufficiently advanced to
give an idea of the immensely of

BETTER TINES FllK THE souTH.

| The price III ae ADVANCE of
cotton means better times for the
South. Middling cotton is worth
$3.50 bale more than it was at
this date last year. 1t is not inn
probable that within two weeks it
will be worth $40 bale more
than it was at the same date last
year.
An increase of $40 bale means
as much to the cotton farmers of
the South as 81 wheat does to the
wheat farmers of the West.
What 81 wheat did for the West
last year and the year before the
whole country knows. Mortgages
were cancelled by the tens of
thousands and the people began
to ride in carriages. The worried
look disappeared from the faces
of the farmers and their wives
and in it's place there were happy
smiles.
Let cotton go to Scents a pound
and the South will be on boom.
Mortgages will be lifted from.
farms and the debt to the store
keepers will be cancelled. Not
only that, but the farmers will
have cash enough to raise crop
next year, and will not have to
pay credit prices, which are dou-
BILE prices, to the country mer-
chant while the crop is being
made.
There is no reason why the
farmers should hurry their cotton
to market now. 1t is reasonably
certain that the crop is smaller
than last years crop, and that
the demand for cotton goods will
continue strong. That being the
case, there is every ground for
thinking that there will be still
further advance in the price of
cotton. Savannah News.

A short crop is another object
lesson that ought to teach Geor-
glans to go to hog raising, wheat
production and everything else
that goes to the sustenance of man
and beast. Grasses, grain, syrup,
meat, lard, fruits, vegetables,
fowls, cattle, sheep, goats, mules
and horses can be produced and
grown with half the labor requir-
ed to cultivate and gather crop
of cotton. Why don't our folks
go into the profitable industry of
raising all their supplies at home
that were so successfully produce
ed here before the war? Then
everybody lived we'll at home and
made money year by year.

that if any one of the snob arts
