guess-work, and more matter OF
certainty and calculation. Knowing
the wants of the plants as to the food
for their proper development, and
knowing at the same time the capaci-
ty of his soil for supplying these
needed elements, he would know
whether or not it were necessary for
him to supply any of these elements
from outside sources, and if SO what
elements, and from what sources to
supply them.
Fertilizers.
He would know exactly what to buy
if he depends upon commercial fertli-
izers, and how to apply them so as to
get the most profitable returns. He
would know the proper value of
home-raised manures in enrichng his
farm, and he would know that it was
to his interest to raise this manure,
instead of depending upon chemical
preparations. These home-raised ma
nures not only furnish the same ele-
ments that are contained in CONNER
cial fertilizers, and in better and more
digestible shape, but they also act
upon the soil in such way as to en-
able it to turn loose its olocked-up
stores of plant food in increased
quantities from year to year. In this
way they permanently enrich the
farm. Chemical fertilizers do not act
in this way; they simply furnish a
given amount of ready-lnade plant
food. Hence they, stimulate the
growth of the present crop without
increasing the capacity for the next
crop. They act more as stimulants.
Diyersiffcation.
The educated farmer, knowing these
things, would naturally fall. into di-
versifed agriculture and stock rails
ing. He would not depend upon any
one given. crop. For these, and a
thousand other reasons of similar ma
ture which might be given, had we
time, the farmer emphatically needs
to be educated.

He also needs to be educated to

the markets that he may know when
and where and how to sell, that he
may not be entirely at the mercy OF
other classes of tradesmen--for the
farmer is emphatically and necessari-
ly tradesman; not only producer,
but merchant, the original mer-
chant. But this opens a field too
wide for present discussion. We all
know too well that the farmer has
long been suffering because other
parties fixed the prices of what he
sold, as we'll as of what he bought.
The farmer should be educated that
he may stand socially equal to those
of other professions. The higher order
of intelligence always commands the
respect Of those below. The more
intelligent class will always be re-
spected by those of the less intelli-
gent. Farmers can never expect to
be socially and politically equal to
others until they become intellectual
ly so. Their education, while tech
nical, should be broad; and while sci
entific, should be practical. Having
the broadcast calling, they should have
the broadest education. They should
take in all the sciences they have
time and capacity to master, because
all sciences contribute to this great
science. which stands ahead of ALL

The Georgia team. which left Sa-
vannah Friday for New York, en- route
to the national trophy competition at
Sea Grit, will arrive at the scene of
the competition tomorrow morning.
The men will practice during the day,
and endeavor to familiarize themselves
with the conditions on the range.
The national trophy competition, in
which teams of twelve men each from
ten states, the District of Columbia, the
United States army. navy and Marine
Corps, will be matched, will begin
Tuesday and will last two days. The
names of the entries, the distances to
be shot and the prizes offered have
been given in the Morning News. 1t
remains to be seen how creditable a
showing the Georgia team will make.
On the team are the very best marks
men of which the state boasts. The
team, it is confessed, is the best one
which could possibly be sent. There is
scarcely man on it who can be beaten
by any who stay at home. With such
a team, the sentiment is that it will
make the best record which could pos
sibly be made under prevailing condi-
tons. The men do not expect to win.

loose on the hills and plains back of
Sheep Greek mountains, to the north
of Battle Mountain, Nevada, something
over thirty years ago, by the late j. A.
Blossom, a prominent land owner and
mining man of that section. There they
have since remained, breeding and run
ming at will, and until the last two
years or so, no attempt has been made
to capture them except in rare individ-
ual instances.
For more than quarter of a century
they have worked out their own saliva
ton, without let or hindrance, in a
country as wild as when the continent
was discovered, full of deep canons
and maze-like runways, and scarcely
ever touched by civilization. The con-
ditions are the same as found by their
earlier prototypes, and like conditions
have brought about like results.
The country over which these horses
roam is ideal for their freedom. isola-
ton and concealment. The Sheep
Greek mountains are a comparatively
short range, rising from the valley of
the Humboldt river less than a half
dozen miles north from Battle Noun
tain station, so abruptly that the 1000
to $500 feet to their summit is made
in travelling a distance of scarcely a
mile and a half from their base.
In the region noted it is estimated
that there are now in the neighborhood
of 2 900 wild horses, but their method
of existence and travel is in small
bands, numbering from a half dozen to
twenty head. Each band has a stall

ly never more than one stallion to a
band. AS soon as a male colt acquires

attempting to move nearer the entire
band appears, and after a moment s
gaze at the intruders, starts off on
its dirty trot," the stallion in the
rear. This tret is as deceptive as the
lazy lope of a coyote. 1t looks easy
to overcome, but the pursuer soon
finds that it eats up the miles with
surprising rapidity and that it can
be kept up all day and all night if
necessary. sad
When the band is met Unexpectedly
the most exciting race occurs. At close
quarters mustangs break into a run
and the race is to the swift. Here,
where there is no doubt that each
member of the band will strain every
nerve the stallion takes the lead and
makes every effort to pilot his family
out of danger. But let the rider sue
coed in getting among the escaping
horses, swing his lariat, and attempt
to 'lasso" or "cut OUT one of the
mares, and the stallion will turn in
stantly and with mouth open, teeth
cleaning and name flying, rush at the
disturber of his family unity with a
fury that is both fearless and terri
BILE.
There may be no real danger OF at
tack or injury in such a case, but a
rush of the sort that l saw a mag
nificent bay stallion make at Bob Bios
som a few weeks ago, when Bob tried
to caet his RATA around the neck of the
queen of the harem, looked like the real
thing, and was sufficiently confusing
to secure the band a fresh start.
A wild stallion is a jealous guardian
of his host and will frequently turn
threateningly even when the pursuer
is a couple of hundreds yards away.
The captured wild horse is far from
being easy to handle, and his useful
ness as a saddle horse is problemati-
cal Under intelligent training at the
hands of a skilled rider they may be
made tractable. and their strength and
endurance make them valuable ami

A number of these horses were pur-

army. 1t is a safe wager that a few of

There are, however, many who are OPP
timistic. These are those who have
had it engrounded in them that the
Georgia team cannot be beat.
The Men Who Will Shoot.
Every man on the team is a sharp
shooter. Col. George T. Cam, inspec-
tor general of rifle practice, who, at
the earnest insistence of the other
members of the team, will participate,
is one of the best marksmen in the
state. What ne knows about rifle
shooting would fill a circulating libra
ry, and what he doesn't know wouldn't
fill a postal card.
Maj. w. w. Williamson, who will
captain the team, has had experience in
that capacity, having captained the
victorious teams which Georgia has
sent to the competitions. He will not
shoot on the team, his position being
merely advisory.
Capt. Fred w. Garden has also at
tended competitions on the Sea Girt
range in past years. If his practice in
the last few days is any criterion, he
will be near the top of the list when
the competition ends. He is quarter
