Coops for Shippinu.


A prominent poultryman tells the
Farmers Review that high express
rates on shipped birds are often due
to the same being shipped in muslin
coops. For these double rates are
charged. The shipper of one or two
birds does not generally understand
this. He imagines that the lighter the
coop the less will be the express
charge. So he makes his coop of thin
and narrow strips of wood and muslin.
The express companies are RESPONSE
BILE for the safe carriage of the birds,
and from such coops it is easy for the
fowls to escape. A piece Of adjacent
furniture or machinery may ram a
hole in the muslin large enough to
permit the imprisoned bird to 60 free.
The latter may beainjured or lost, and
anyway. requires time and attention
to b, got back again. Such coops
also are SO 1limsy that great care has
to be used in packing them in the car
and in handling them on the delivery
wagons. The poultryman in question
makes his shipping coops entirely of
wood, which is specially sawed to have
it as thin as possible. Muslin coops
may. be used provided the muslin is
covered with heavy Stats. by using
light wood coops may be made to
weigh but little. It is obviously
cheaper to send birds in wellbuilt
coops at single rates than in flimsy
coops at double rates. ' -'*<

A Remarkable Calf.

From Farmers Review: James R.
Huggett, of Eaton County. this state,
has remarkably large steer calf of
the Durham breed. He weighed at
birth 116 pounds. Now at n days old
I'll weeks) he weighs 416 pounds,
with no extra care or feed. He re-
ceives the milk Of only one cow. He
runs with his mother night and morn
ing long enough to get his milk. The
rest of the time he runs in clover
pasture with. others of the herd. In
build and shape he Is fine specimen,
being extra well formed. He is an ALL
around marvel. If the owner should
crowd him to the fullest extent there
is no guessing what he might be made
to do.-George S.. Woolsey. Calhoun

For the Hat Season.

VVT InS nat 0edSOn.
When ones millinery shows the ex-
ercise of taste and thought it does
great deal toward beautifying a wom-
ans face, and when it becomes merely
a matter of display it loses it's charm.
The hat should be in harmony with
the costume of the Individual, or
make artistic contrasts. The colors
should also cult the complexion, and
its shape pe appropriate to the face
There are very few women who look
we'll in every style and color. A be-
coming hat is the most beautiful orna-
ment woman wears.

A Tall Stalk of Cotton.

The State, Sth inst.
There was brought into the Of
fee of Thetstate yesterday a stalk
OF cotton which was taller than
anything of the sort that even the
proverbial "oldest inhabitantn
had ever seen in "these parts. {"
The plant measured 9 feet and 6
inches in height and was big round
accordin'. This phenomenal stalk
vas from field of 12O acres be-
longing to Mr.. s. H. Sanders of
Florence county, and there wore
many more such specimens in the
ssme field. The cotton is of the
King variety and was stimulated
to Its present growth by dose of
1900 pounds of fertilizer per
acre, in which 200 pounds of nj
trate of soda we're included.
Mr.. Sanders is said to be in
doubt as to whether he will picx
his cotton with the assistance of a
hook and ladder company or by
means Of a force of monkeys, who
could readily swing from limb to
limb Some of his neighbors have
urged upon him the greater profit
OF having the tract cut for timber.

TO the flesh, but Mr.. Porter paid
little OF no attention to the
wound thinking it would heal

The finger did not heal. It
doubled in size, and Mr.. Porter
was alarmed.
He went to Albany, and in a
short time his entire left arm
was swollen and caused him
great agony. He was attended
by several physicians, but the
arm continued to grow worse.
Mr.. Porter was advised to come
TO Atlanta tor attention and
treatment.
He arrived about FIVE weeks
ago and went to the Tabernacle
infrmary. Here he was tre eated
by DR.. e. 9. Davis and other
physicians. After two weeks of
careful attention by the physi-
clans the mans arm was ampu.
tated.
The amputation. however,
seemed not to do any good, ss

fortunate planter died.
He was 60 years of p.e and
