The efforts of a few parties to re-
sist the issuance of bonds and drain
age of the large tract of rich bottem
land now practically useless in the
Chutautonchee bottom, under the
special act of the legislature, is GER
tainly in bad taste and based upon the
strongest phase of folly. The pro-
posed improvement means the bring
fng into use of over ten thousand
acres of land as fine and as rich as any
delta land in the state. To refuse to
drain this fine tract means to leave it
at the mercy of the floods and render
the land practically useless. That a
few kickers should be permitted to
stay such an improvement looks
silly,

The Use of Trap Nests.

The use Of the trap nests in the poul-
try house is considerable trouble, en-
failing as it does the marking Of the
hens that they may be correctly idelti-
fed, and frequent visits to release
those that have laid, and the keeping
a record of the eggs from each, but we
think it should be profitable TO one who
keeps many fowl. 1t distinguishes the
workers from the drones, that do not
pay their feed. It tells which lay best
when eggs are highest priced. It cna-
bles n to know which give the eggs
with dark shell and which with light
colored or white shells, and when the
time nm for Matching, if there is a
hen whose eggs are largely infertile
she can be selected out for some other
purpose than raising chickens from
her. All these points combined may
have a great deal to do with deciding
the question of profit or loss, as the
least profitable ones car be weeded
out.-The Cultivator.

Maintenance Ration For Horses.

Just how much rough feed is re-

at the Wyoming Experiment Station,
and it was found that for idle horses
thirteen and three-quarter pounds

pounds of oats straw daily was sufi-
Gent to keep a horse weighing 1000
pounds. On this ration the four horses
in the experiment maintained their
weight with what little exercise they
We're inclined to take. The station be-
lieves that horses cannot only be main
tanned upon this, but that the ration
is sufficient for light work. In diges-
ton experiments at the North Carolina
Station, it was found that there was
a higher digestibility of carbohy.
drates when rations rich in easily di-
gestible protein were submitted for ex.
pertinent. The protein from alfalfa
hay may fulfill the same conditions.
In such case there would be more
pounds Of carbohydrates digested
from the straw in the above ration
and the nutritive substance would be
correspondingly increased.

This is a case of catarrh of the stomach

IF such cures as these Go not verify the

Improvement by Selection.

Improvement by selection has made
the live stock of this country much
more valuable. It was once supposed
that a threc-minute gait in trotting
was very fast, and the four-milc run
ming horses would barely accomplish
that distance in eight minutes. A six
ty-pound sheep was large, and the ra-
zor-back hog was on every farm. To-
day we have trotting horses that have
gotten close to q mile in two minutes,
the runner has nearly reached q min
ute and 4 half, while sheep weighing
400 pounds alive are not rare.

Nothing to Gain.

There is nothing to gain during a dry
period by keeping the cows on a pas
ture that has been injured for lack OF
rain. The cattle will be compelled to
travel over a great portion of the pas
ture in order to find food, and this
leads to injury of the grass by tramp
ling. The better plan is to remove the
cattle and allow the grass an opportu-
nifty to renew it's growth.
