Mr.. ]. E. MERCER, Editor,
Fingered, Ga.
Dear Mr.: Mercer:
I see in the Enterprise that
Mr.. Fitzgerald ccntem plates To-
eating another colony of ten
thousand people in south Georgia,
and possibly in Irwin county.
Mystic would open her doors to
some of them, and our location
for a town is an excellent one
and our surroundings are the
best. Our railway facilities and
climate and water are good, and
we will gladly welcome all good
settlers among us.
We expect to see Mystic a
much larger place in the near
future if push and enterprise to-
pether with it's location and sur
roundings will make it so. am,
Your Friend,
THOMAS A. RUSSELL.
We print the above letter Just
as it comes to us. We can heart
lily agree with Mr.. Russell in all
that he says as to his town and
section and will promise to do all
we can for the location of said
colony in Irwin county.

CEREAL FOOD MAKING.
Cooked Grains Are Separated, Passed
Between Rollers and Flat
tened Into Flakes.

The superintendent OF a mucn-ad-
vertised breakfast food recently stated
that he ate a pound of his product
every de
"You see, our brand is new one"
he explained to a friend. Il want to
see that every package is up to the top
standard before it leaves the factory;
so l taste lot of the stuff to see if the
men are making it correctly"
According to this superintendent,
cereal breakfast foods do not require
very much complicated machinery.
The first process Is to wash the
grains of the cereal out of which the
thin flakes are to be made. Then it is
steamed for several hours in big cal
drons, the bottoms of which have holes
in them like sieve.
The next step is to transfer the
cooked grains from the vessels to a
series of fiat, perforated sifters, and
the mushy mixture of grains is forced
through in such way that different
grains are separated and stand out dis
tinctly from one another.
At this stage the grains are passed
between great metal rollers, which fat
ten them into flakes.
These flakes, still containing consid-
cradle moisture, are finally dried on
wire netting by means Of hot air.
Then, last of all, they are packed
into their pasteboard boxes, ready for
shipment by the case of twenty-four
boxes.
That's all there is to It," said the
superintendent
"In my factory we are just making
start, but we'll increase the size of
the plant before long. You have no
idea how easy 1t is to boom a new
breakfast food.
ITO tell the truth, about the largest
expense item on our books each month
is the price of fancy advertising cards
and other announcements.
I'VE have found thus far that our
sales are proportionate to the activity
of our publicity bureau. st Louis

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Under Reasonably Favorable Condf-
tions 1t Is Preserved for In
definite Periods.

Not to speak of the doubtful instances
of seeds taken from the pyramids hav-
ing terminated, melons have been
known to grow at the age of 40 years,
kidney beans at 100, sensitive plant at
60 and rye at 40. And there are now
living in the garden of the Horticultural
society raspberry plants raised from
seeds 600 or LOO years old. The seeds
of charlock buried in former ages spring
up in railway cuttings; where ancient
forests are destroyed. plants appear
which have never been seen before, but
whose seeds have been buried in the
ground; when some land was recovered
from the Baltic sea, a carex was found
upon it, now unknown in that part of
Europe. M. Fries, of Upsala succeeded
in growing a species of hieracium from
seeds which had been in his herbarium
upward of so years. Desmoulins has
recorded an instance of the opening of
ancient tombs, in which seeds were
found and on being planted they pro-
duced species of scabiosa and hello
tropium. And many more such cases
are on record, establishing conclusive
ly that under favorable conditions the
vitality of seeds is preserved for in
definite periods.
1t seems as if seeds remain dormant
so long as the proportion of carbon pc
culiar to them is undiminished; water
is decomposed by their vital force; and
it is believed that its oxygen, combin-
ing with the carbon, forms carbonic
acid, which is given off. The effect of
access of water is, therefore, to rob
seeds of their carbon; and the effect of
destroying their carbon is to deprive
them of the principal Means which they
possess of preserving their vitality
Be this as it may, 1t is incon-
testable that as soon as seeds begin to
germinate their vitality is exhausted.
and they perish, unless the seed is in
a condition to continue it's growth bv
obtaining sufficient food from surround
ing media.-From Linley's Theory and
Practice of Horticulture.

frame to carry the engine which pro-
pels the cycle. The usual method Of
mounting the motor for running the two
wheeled machine is to place it in a cir
cular frame in the position occupied by
the crank shaft In the regular bicycle
However, this is made unnecessary by
the invention which we illustrate, which
makes possible the use of the old ma
chine with motor attachment. We would
suggest, nevertheless, that the rear
wheel be replaced by one of slightly
stronger build, as the increased weight
and the force of the motor will soon eX-
pose any weakness which may exist
in spokes or rim. AS the motor Is
shown, there is little, II any, added
strain placed on the tubular frame, which
is strong point in its favor, when the
attachment to old bicycles is consid-
cred. The driving hub should be pro-
vided with a coaster brake, and a second
sprocket wheel is necessary to connect
with the motor, while the gasoline reser-
voir and electric outfit can be arranged
as usual on motor cycles.-Louisvills

CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE=RU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was poor man, hundreds Of dol
lars. They had been Obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free OF charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her synp-
toms.
She soon received letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.

Wood Ashes m. Fertilixsr

If pure, unleached wood ashes could
be obtained plentifully. and at a mod
crate cost, they would give perhaps
more satisfactory results, as the ashes
are rich in potash and contain lime in
its best form, and also serving well as
a protection against the attacks of
some kinds of insects. Ashes can be
used without liability of injury on all
kinds of crops if broadcasted over the

NEW SWIMMING MACHINE.

however, by the machine which has
Just been invented by a Chicago man,
and which we have illustrated in the
picture. 1t is nothing more nor less
than a screw propeller, attached to the
man instead of to boat and the man
who is a good bicycle rider should soon
become proficient in the use of this
swimming apparatus, as the movement
of the feet is exactly similar to that re-
quired to drive the wheel on land
Probably the only difficulty the begin
ner would have with this machine would
be in maintaining the body in the cor
rect position to obtain the best results
with the propeller, but with little
practice the hands are soon taught to
poise the body at the proper angle and
guide the swimmer through the water.
It is unnecessary for the hands to aid
in the propulsion. as the screw will fur
nish sufficient power for the work.-Chi-

SWIMMING MADE EASY.
Apparatus Invented by Chicago Man
Makes Use of Bicycle Pedals
and Screw Propeller.

The majority of bathers find more
pleasure in padding leisurely about
and sporting in the surf than in exert
ing themselves to the extent necessary
to acquire any speed in the water, but
to the athlete this is rather tame, and
only muscular eXertion affords satisfac-
tion. Were it not for the training neces-
sary to become rapid swimmers no
doubt more people would enjoy the ex-
hilarating sensation of propelling
themselves rapidly through the water
by the aid of the hands and feet. The
physical training is made unnecessary,

Electric Lights nnd Dust.

The tendency of dust to collect on cleo
trio light fittings and wires and on
walls and ceilings near them is ascribed
partly to the influence of air-currents in
duced by local heating and partly to
identification of the dust particles.
These, when floating in room. are at
tracted to the electric conductors on the
non-earthed side of an earthed system.
They either remain upon the conductors.
or, becoming charged, fly off and stick
to the neighboring walls. BY putting
the switches in the nom earthed wire.
this deposition of dust can be confined to
the time during which the lamps are
alight Further improvement, accord
ing to Mr.. D, S. Mouro, can be effected
by using concentric flexible conductors,
the outer conductor being connected to
the earthed side Of the system.

CARE OF THE FOALS.
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju-
diciOusly Her Offspring VIII
Fail to Develop.

II the foal is worth raising at all,
fed and cared for properly will be a
disgrace to its sire and source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal. the mare should be fed well
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, If she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at plow or on way to town
Milk Is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and. besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatisuing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, If
at all. Before 1t is too late put in a
strip of fodder corn alongside of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off.
Plant several times, with few days
between the seedlings. Use this green
corn fodder for the mares to help out
the pastures and feed the mares in ad-
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasses

A RUDE RAZOR.
The Blade Used by East Indians Looks
as If 1t Would Not Eaven
Cut Soap.

The East Indian correspondent of an
English hardware trade journals re-
Gently sent to his paper photograph
of an Indian razor, which is a. rough
blade which looks as if it would not
cut soap. Millions of these native
blades, he asserts, are in everyday
use by the benighted natives in India.
Until recently, owing to the natural
conservatism of the race, the Eu-
ropean article, though admittedly
much superior, was totally neglected.
Orthodox natives, like the Chinese,
consider it crime to attempt to i'm
prove on the handiwork of their fore
fathers. so that the present native
razor is just the same as that in use
centuries ago. The blade is probably
made out of piece of junk iron 1t
has blade about two and one-half
inches long and handle turned out
of piece of teak-by fiddle lathe,
probably-rigidly attached to the
blade. This device can be bought in
the native bazar for six annas, equiv
alent to Is cents, while the cheapest
German razor offered in the shops costs
twice as much.
