Workmen engaged In laying the conduits
for the Georgia Telephone line on Aber-
corn street dug up a most grewsome find
yesterday at Waldburg street lane. While
digging about three feet below the sur

spirit OF the dead man whose bones had
been disturbed from haunting him In the
night. He was finally persuaded TO con
tinue his work but seemed to think that

A CONSOLIDATED DEPARTMENT

To the Editor: We have had since 1 lie

| two departments of agriculture with two
| sets of officers, two sets of salaries. two
| sets of experiments in seeds, soils. dairy
! ing, horticulture, diseases of plants, etc,
etc. One of these departments of agri.
| culture has been conducted in direct con-
nection with the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College under the auspices of
| IFS professors, and the other has been
conducted in connection with what is
known as the Experiment Station. Each
of these agricultural departments has
a separate piece Of land. separate en-
closures, separate buildings and separ-
| ate plants for conducting the same or
similar experiments. The cost of this
duplex arrangement would be very hard
TO estimate, but it is going on ard like

campaign and made disturbing ele-
ment in politics for some years. | call

New oats Not Good Feed.

There is great temptation on farms
where old oats are scarce to give new
oats in. their stead, some farmers cut
ting the green oats in the field and
chopping off the heads in lieu of thresh-
ing out the grain. But such feed is sure
to give working horse the scours, nm
less dry feed is given with it. A small
' amount Of dry wheat -four busted over
the oats will partially Offset their laxa-
tive effect. But whatever precautions
are taken it is better to feed old oats
until the new crop has dried out than to-
attempt to feed oats of the present
years growth. If the oat heads are
chopped off and placed in an evaporator
they will be dry enough in three days
to feed safely American Cultivator.
