himself on the bough bed beside the
doctor, his thoughts travelled to Green

how she would treat h i'm if he were to
go back there again.
Beyond that lurked a little sense of

wondered why She had never married

1t was the bud of a boyish love
bursting into flower again, for before
Martin fell asleep he had firmly re-
solved he would visit Greenvalc at an
early date and see how Angie would

But the next morning all these sweet
impulses received quetus. for while
Levi and Jean were getting breakfast
Martin and the doctor took their rods

ducks did as well as here, except that
they needed a little more food. The
ducklings are easy to raise. We set the
eggs under a hen. In four weeks the
nest is full of balls of yellow down with
tiny, bright eyes and orange bills. They
have little pen on grass, which is
moved every few days, a shelter from
the sun, shallow pan of water and
pan of thin mash. At ten weeks they
should be ready for the table. Never
let duckling into water until feath-
cred, if you wish to be sure to raise it.
The loss of young ducklings halfway
cared for is small, and the eggs almost
always hatch well. Ducks should. not
be killed at moulting season nor before
feathering, because the pin feathers
will be so numerous as to spoil the ap-
pearance of the fowl. But if plucked
when in full plumage there is no trou-
bic of that kind. When ready for the
table / calculate that a young duck
has cost about six cents, not counting
of course, care and trouble, as against
some seven and half cents for chick
ems at the same period. My experience
is entirely with small fiocks, for until
recently the demand for ducks or
geese in this vicinity has been confined
almost entirely to the Jews, and we
raised them for our own table princi-
pally. The last two years the demand
has increased until this year they sold
at % cents per pound, which would
make young Pekin ducks average about
81 apiece.

Why. of Using Manure.

When manure is plowed under it in
creases the water holding capacity of
all soils. and decomposing in the soil
forms organic acids that act on the in
ert mineral matters of the soils and
make them available for growing
crops, says a Western paper. On clay
lands il goes farther and improves the
mechanical condition. the manure or
at least the coarse part of ii keeps
the soil grains from running together
so that water and air can penetrate
it. Then it follows that the more thor
oughly the coarse manure is mixed
with the soil the better But to do
this with a harrow or cultivator will
cost time and labor.
When manure is applied to grass
land, to rye or cover crops it increases
root growth as well as top growth,
and when you plow this under you
have all the plant food that was in
the manure. you have all the vegetable
matter that was in the manure, simply
changed its form, and you have that
manure more thoroughly mixed with
the soil in the shape of roots that
ramify to every portion of 1t, and to
a greater depth than you could possibly
mix it with pillow, harrow and cultiva-
tor at great cost.
But from all the experiments on the
subject we find that manure from the
time it is dropped begins to lose its
value unless closely packed. kept UNI
der cover and treated with plaster or
floats. SO there is danger of loss or
else inconvenience and cost in trying
to keep manure for convenient sea-
son to apply it to land intended for
blowing But it will not be much loss
or inconvenience to apply it to gross
or cover crops, except on an oc-
casional open rainy winter when the
land will be soft to drive on.
The Bureau of Soils, Washington, d.
c., tells us that nitrogen. phosphoric
acid and potash either in the form of
barnyard manure or commercial fertil-
izers, when applied to the land soon go
into inert form mot soluble in water),
so that it should be point with us to
always try to have something on the
land that will take up the soluble por-
ton of the manure.
A point that am not absolutely GER
tain about is the introduction of bac-
terial life l. e., when manure is applied
to grass land does it introduce bacte-
rial life into the soil as deeply as when
plowed under? The few examinations
that 1 have been able to read of seem
to indicate that it does.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-08

1t might be difficult to state just
which is the most important. The
great saving of expense and the great
er ease and comfort in gathering the
fruit is certainly an important one.
Another is the greater convenience in
spraying, pruning and thinning fruit.
Again, if the apple drops to the
ground it is not ruined by the fall.
Another great gain, and perhaps the
greatest advantage of all, when the
life of the tree is considered, is the
protection given to the roots from the
hot sun in summer. Trees thus pro-
tected make better growth, and seem
more healthy, and, l believe, will en-
dure much longer.
There is one advantage to be de-
rived from this low training and shad-
ing. 1t is the effect on the growth of
the branches. They being always shad-
ed and so near the ground it causes
the under side of the branch to make
a thicker group every year, thereby
causing more upright growth. If
one should cut off one of those
branches and examine the cut he will
find that the heart is much nearer
TO the upper side or above the center,
and rings showing the annual grewth
will be much further apart at the un-
der side, whereas, if a branch is cut
from tree with a high head and long
trunk dover branch) it will be found
that the heart is growing in a more
horizontal direction.
Such branches, when laden with fruit,
are much more likely to bend down to
the ground than those which start
near the ground and grow more up
rightly. One can, therefore, cultivate
more conveniently among the low head
trees than he can among the higher
and more spreading head.

The most expensive element in the
feeding of dairy cows. at least in good
crop years, is protein. This is the ele-
ment that goes to make up the lean
meat, tendons, hair, wool, and so on.
In the milk it is in the form of casein
and albumen. Without protein there
can be no development of the frame,
and when little protein is fed the an
imal produced will be over fat but
not large. 1t is therefore absolutely
necessary that the protein balance of
the feed be maintained, that we may
have well-built and strong animals
Since the advent of the jersey COW
in this country, it has been observed
that her size has greatly increased
This has been due to the greater
amount of protein obtainable here than
was generally fed during the develop
ment of this race of cows on it's ma
tive island. But as a usual thing in
all countries, the tendency has been
to feed too little protein and too much
carbohydrate material. Fortunately,
in the last decade of years, the Glow
ers, soy beans, COW peas and other
crops rich in protein have received
an unusual amount of attention, with
the result that there has been an inn
provement in feeding all along the
line

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. Mr.. Jesse
Scruggs, of the Ousley district, reached
Valdosta to-day with information re-
garding Charlie Witherington, the 10
year-old boy who disappeared from his
fathers home here about two months
ago and who has not been heard from
until to-day. The lad is living on ]. c.
Wilson'S place, in Brooks county, and
is going to school to Henry Parrish,
who teaches near Wilson's. The boy
turned up there just after he left Val
dosta and was taken in to Wilson's
home. Though creeks, old wells, riv-
ers and swamps have been dragged for
the missing boy, and the papers have
mentioned his disappearance number
of times, it was not until yesterday
that Wilson learned of the boys escape
from home. Mr.. Scruggs was the first
man he saw coming this way after
finding out the boys home, and he sent
word to the lads father to come after
him. Witherington was greatly re-
Joiced to hear that the boy was alive,
as he had given him up for dead some
time ago. He will bring the boy back
home.

1t has been well demonstrated that,
in the fattening of young hogs, a ra-
ton containing more protein and ash
than does corn gives better results
than does a sole corn ration, says, the
Farmers Review. This is something
new to most hog raisers It has been
quite generally recognized that in grow
ing the frame of hogs much protein
was needed, but most people have as
stunned that once the frame had reach
ed marketable size. a whole corn
ration could be fed to advantage.
Experiments made at the Iowa sta
tion apparently show the opposite

matter he is led to realize the fac1
that the natural activity of the
hog must consume very large
amount of protein. even. after the
frame is built The muscles that
carry on the life work must be re-
newed constantly. Thus, the heart is
always using up protein material. and
the place of this wasted material can
not be taken by the carbohydra tes
that so largely comprise the digestible
nutrients of the corn ration. In fact
a too large amount of these fat-forn-
ing substances weakens all the mus
cles, including those that take part

Charcoal for Hogs.

1t is a good deal easier to keep
hog healthy than to cure him after he
gets sick. Doctoring hogs in discour-
aging business, first because it is hard
to correctly diagnose the trouble; and.
second, because administering proper
remedies is difficult. One thing that
will help keep hogs in a healthy con-
dition is charcoal and salt, and we
give below Theo. Louis directions for
preparing it:
Take six bushels of corn cob char
coal, or three bushels of common char
coal, eight pounds of salt, two quarts
of air-slacked lime, one bushel of wood
ashes. Break the charcoal well down,
with shovel or other implement, and
thoroughly mix. Then take one and
quarter pound of copperas, and dis
solve in hot water, and with an ordi-
nary watering pot sprinkle over the
whole mass and then again mix thor
oughly. Put this mixture into the self
feeding boxes, and place where hogs
of all ages can eat of their contents
at pleasure. The charcoal furnishes
the required mineral matter which has
been lacking in the food, and is also
an excellent corrective for digestive
troubles, while the copperas is a valu-
able tonic and stomachic."
