them to qualify for a medical degree.

FARMING TO THE sRoHT.


Many recent events have emphap
sized the fact that southern farming
is no longer in the back ground. The
throb of progress which is pnlsating
through every channel Of business, has
struck farming with full force. The
farmer is no longer left out in taking
account of current movements. Nor is
he assigned back seat. He il now
invited to the front in all industrial
gatherings His presence is desired.
and his counsel is sought for.
The commercial world is stirred up
about how he will bale his cotton.
and how he will sell it in the future.
The part he took in raising the price
of the last crop has worked up the
spectators and financiers.
Suppose we should not offer q sin-
gle bale of cotton for sale during the.
months of September and October.
1900. Where would the price go?
This could easily be done. Not only
this but suppose when we have made
the crop of 1900 we should just put il
away and devote our entire attention
to other crops for the season 1901. Not
grow a pound of cotton. This could
be done. We could live and live well.
But what would the rest do? What
would this crop be worth in Sep:enl-
ber, 1901? Would it not bring more
money than two crops will? We ask
these questions to help wake the
farmer up. To let him see his own
interest and feel his importance.
Why can not this be done? Simply
because the farmers do not make their
living at home and own the cotton
crop. But we can do both of these, and
We will, if we study our own interests.

GRAY WOLVES AS PETS.
4 WyominG Man Finds That They

Gray wolves are the most favored do
mestic pets on the ranch of A. J. Both

ing. The children romp with them,
and have taught them many Of the
amusing tricks that earn applause in
denser centers Of civilization when per-
formed by French poodles. There is
never a thought of fear in the relation
ship.
These wolves, says the Chicago
Chronicle, were captured as pups a
year ago. They were nearly two weeks
old and their-6iue eyes hsd mot long

mankind from Little Red Riding Hoods

In a word, these great hounds Of the

HOME LIFE IN PORTO RICO.
Survival Of the Fittest In Hosse Fur
nlshiAg 0ws-ExpeFience In
Unpleasant Features.

To one unaccustomedt to tropical con-
ditions, the furnishing of the Porto
Rican home would at first sight seem
meager, but it is quite ample, says
Harper's Bazar. A short residence will
demonstrate that nearly 500 years OF
experience with the unpleasant fea-
lures of life in the West Indies have
been crowned by survival OF the fit
test in furnishing as in other matters.
Austrian brentwood furniture and
willow ware constitute the main equip
ment of the parlors and living rooms.
Upholstered furniture is unknown and
undesired. little or no attempt being
made at decoration, except in the mat
ter of embroidery and fine handmade
lace work. Hundreds of yards of cro-
chet work are used in the embellish-
ment of a single canopied bed. The
work is the chief delight of the Porto
Rican housewife.

THE sHAH's CIRCUIT.
Europe AID Visit All the
Royal Courts.

The shah of Persia, having been four
years ON the throne, wishes to see the
world, and has planned a long journey.
He will visit st. Petersburg, Berlin, Vi
emma, Paris, London and Constantine
pie, and will be entertained at all the
courts. 1t will be a costly journey, and
the shah is not reputed to be rich; but
his credit is good, especially in st.
Petersburg, where the treasury is al
ways ready to make advances to the
ruler of a vassal state whose territory
Russia covets. says Youths Companion.
Muzaffar-ed-din, the shah, is nearly
50 years old. He looks younger than
he is. for there are no traces of gray in
his jet-black hair and long, dropping
mustache, and there are no lines on
his narrow forehead: His eyes are soft
and dreamy, the contour of his face is
regular and his smile is that of an in
dolent and weak man who can be easily
amused.
He is a ruler without strength Of

Il is for this reason that few men
who have been '.mauled'-as the Eng

along the same lines, it is possible
that the number of deaths on record

the rabies. The skunk seems to have

Blood poisoning frequently occurs
in cases of wounds from the teeth or
claws of animals, especially those that
feed wholly or in part on putrid flesh,
and it is easy to understand that, in
the cases of such species as eat only
game of their own killing, there must
be traces of their feasts, in the shape
of shreds of animal matter, left ad-
herring to their claws and teeth to
decay and become poisonous in time.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.


A writer in the New York Press es-
Inmates that there were 900, ,O0O, ,00O
fowls in the United States last year.
and that the number Of eggs was
about 17,4OO, ,O0O, 900. The value Of
their product is set down at $42O, ,00o.-
600.
Just think of it! The value of tie
chickens, turkeys, ducks. ETC., Of the
United States as being equal to the
cotton crop of the south. How much
Of this vast sum comes to our Sec
.ion? Do we not send on after two
thirds of the eggs sold in our market.
OF the fowls and eggs sold in Valdos-
tn, are half of them raised in Lowndes,
or any adjoining county?
We very much fear that more than
half Of the chickens and eggs sold
here are brought from north Georgia
or Tennessee. Why Il this? Il this
section not as wen fitted for poultry
raising as any other section of the
state? II farmers in north Georgia
can make money on eggs at eight
cents and chickens at ten cents, can
not money be made upon these prod
ucts in this section where prices aver
age double as much?
Let us consider these things. Poul-
try in merely a side line for tlls
farmer, but will it not pay to give
more attention to poultry raising?-
