Fletcher Breedlove Shot by Unknown
 Person

Union Springs. Dec 2s.-(special.)- Inverness near this place Saturday night a young man named Fletcher Breedlove was perhaps fatally shot. and in a very peculiar way. Quite a number were en- gagged in shooting f1recracKers in front of the store of Dave West. on the porch of which young Breedlove was standing, when suddenly a pistol ball entered his left side just below the heart. coming from an unknown source. The physicians who are attending him say there is little hope for his recovery
 The suppOsition Is that the pistol was fired recklessly in celebration of Christ mas and with no intention of murder. The young man is a son of Pet Breedlove. of near Post Oak, this \county. He is sixteen years of age and a young man of good character. The accident is greatly deplored.

The Farmer Saved the Coun-
try.

Here is a message from Wall
street that ought to make tt e
farmer feel decidedly "stuck up;
at least, it gives him a true sense
of his importance to the welfare
of the country. Nc such tribute
can be paid to any other citizen.
Here it is:
1T is fully realized that we
have probably escaped a serious
crisis through nothing but good
luck, or, in other words, through
a good harvest. Had crops been
a failure, it is unpleasant to think
what might have happened, with
so many commitments hanging
oyer the stock market at a time OF
uncomfortable financial stringen.

The farmer, with the a~ssistar-
&c of a kind and watchiul Provi-
dence, produced enough to give
railroads sufficient business to
pay dividends on their billions OF
fictitious capital, and SO prevent
ed a panic-creating slump in that
kind of stock. Aud he also pro-
duced enough to keep business
of other kinds up to a magnitude
that prevented other watered
stocks from drying down to the
cracking point, And that pro-
duction sustained the gambling
inferno in Wall street, and added
more millions to the already
wildly superhuous millions of the
creators of monopolies with their
water.soakcdc capitalization. Veri-
ly, the farmer is Zig g:u of the
country, and it must crafty him
to heave the fact frankly ackowl-
edged.-Farm, Stock and Home.

is sown. If, in addition, a thin
coating of manure can be spread
during the winter, so much the
better. In the spring the rye is
turned under, the ground thor.

a tubular roller, and planted to
corn. This is exceedingly cheap
manuring.
The addition of decayed vcge-

Pure Syrup in Georgia.

The development of the Geor.
gia syrup industry, to which we
have frequently referred in these
columns, and the adulteration of
Georgia syrup, which brought
about the Bronson pure syrup
bill before the Georgia Legisla-
ture, are matters of material in
terest to everyone identified with
the production of pure foods and
with pure food legislation. Capt.
D. G. Purse, president of the
Savannah Board of Trade, advises
US that the Bronson Pure Syrup
Rill has been enacted into a law
W the unanimous vote of each
branch of the Georgia Legisla-
ture and that the Governor has
signed the bill. This is a good
move on the part of the State of
Georgia to thus maintain and
preserve the purity of the splen-
did syrups that are now icing
made in that State. We trust
that the other Gulf States will
enact similar laws and not only
enact them, enforce them.-Ex.

enticed so many away from dairy
work that the milk supply has
fallen off until the creameries can
no longer run at a profit. The
same dispatch says that farmers
who are in ~dairying and are thus
left with closed creameries in
their neighborhoods IRE urged 10
organize cooperative creameries.
We fail to see just the point
here. Conditions will be much
the same, whether a creamery is
cooperative or otherwise, so far
as supply of milk and economy
of operation Is concerned. 1t will
be much better for these dairy
men to 60 into private dairying
and be at once independent of
the public creamery.
And it is a short sighted policy
to abandon dairying because
other lines are paying so we'll just
now. The inevitable reaction
must come, and when it does,
dairying will pay when every
other industry is suffering from
hard times. It has been so in the
past, and history repeats ITSELF

The Bacon Breed of Swine.

Large Yorkshire pigs have
been bred in England for a hum
dred years with a view to produc-
ing lean meat instead of fat.
They we're introduced into Can
ada about IS years ago and have
revolutionized the hog business
throughout the Dominion. In
1890 the value of the pork, bacon
and hams exported from Canada
was only a little over a half mil
lion dollars; but in 1900, it was
81, su3 ,O4O. Large Yorkshires
were introduced into the United
States about ten years ago, and
thew promise to revolutionize the
hog business of this country, as
they. have that of Canada. In
Canada the packing house of VII
liam Davies & Co., pays from 81
to $3.50 per hundred more for
Yorkshires than for any other
breed.
In addition to the great value
of their carcases for packing
purposes, large Yorxshires are,

breeds. They are far less liable

Would Dam the Hogs" Too

"Tug Wilson," in the Ozark
Mountain News, tells a good
story about an ex-kentucky
colonel of the Quality Folks
sort, whom he once met in west
ern Kansas. "The colonel was
an enthusiast on the irrigation
scheme that was sweeping over
Kansas at that time. He was so
positive in his theories, and so
high-temrered, that few people
cared to disagree with him. One
day as he was standing in front
of the Office talking with several
friends, Pink Barclay, that
lives over on Snake Creek, came
along, and, after shaking hands
around, turned to the colonel and
said: Colonel, I've got forty
acres of land lying close to Snake
creek that l want to irrigate and
would like TO ask your advice
about it, Very well, sah,'
responded the colonel, My ad-
vice is, dam the creek Il did
do that said Pink, and cut a
ditch down across the land, but
get rise enough Then
Iwouid dam the ditch, sah,' re.
piled the colonel. That's just
what I did do,' said Pink, but
the hogs rooted holes in the
banks. What would you do
about that? What would I do?"
snorted the colonel; I would dam
the hogs, sahl l would dam the
hogs!'"-Ex.

Farm Dairying.

It has been very noticeable of

not, as was frequently the case,

Like every movement, the pub
lie creamery had Its reaction.
C~reameries were built where
needed. Large ones were built
where small ones only should
have been planned. Some were
built where there may have been
milk enough, but no dairy knowl-

to insure intelligent handling of

A Lesson on Humus.

The Hoard's Dairyman farm is
composed mainly of a strong,
fertile clay. For tiftv years pre-
vious to its coming into our pos
session, it had been run on the
principle of giving but little back
to the soil. But a small number
of animals were kept, and such a
thing as buying commercial fer
tilizers was never dreamed of.
The severe drouths which have
prevailed in Wisconsin for sever
al years, convinced US that this
land seriously needed a new sup.
ply of humus. AT length the idea
of putting in a crop of rye in the
fall, to pillow unoer in the spring
was hit upon. This has been
done for two years. 1t is a mat
ter of small expense, yet the
effects on the color of the land
and its productiveness, as we'll as
ability TO stand drouth, have been
very marked. AS soon as the
