Plans are making for the es-
tab1ishment of colony of Mis-
sourians in Appling county,
Georgia, of which Baxley, with a
population of about 1000, is the
county-seat. Already a town
called Port Alexander has been
laid out on the banks of the Alta
maha river, and the survey for a
railroad from the river to Bax1ey,
the county-seat, has been COM
pleted.

The Morris-Gober contest for
the ludgeship of the Blue Ridge
Circuit is attracting the atten-
ton of democrats in all parts of
the state. 1t strongly illustrates
the weakness of the new plan of
electing judges by the popular
vote and it is generally believed
that as result the law will
probably be repealed by the
next legislature. The best
substitute we have heard
suggested comes from the
Augusta Chronicle, which is, the
nomination by the supreme
court, of all candidates, appoint
ment by the Governor and con-
tirmation by the senate.

Pruning the Keifer.

Dr. Ward: "The way | have done with
my keiffers, | take about one-half Of
this years growth out so as to keep the
trees down. The natural tendency is
to spread and grow long branches. and
by such trimming it is easy enough to
keep them down and also to keep them
close to the ground.
Charles Black: Ny practice always
has been with the keiffer pear to keep
it well pruned back and to not leave
over a foot or fifteen inches on the
new growths and then thoroughly thin
it out. Keeping that practice up for the
first six or seven years, | get a close,
compact tree. The last few years
changed my tactics little. find that
if you get your tree too dense the trou-
BILE is a good deal more with the rusts
OH the pear, and SO for that reason
you must have an open head, but you
must keep the trees down or they will
grow way up with long arms and
break down with the weight of the
fruit ! prune my trees until they get
six or seven years old before let them
bear any fruit. and then I have Il tree
that is large enough and strong enough
to bear a full crop of fruit

There are hundreds and hundreds Of
cows kept for dairy purposes in this
state which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume.
says a daiTyman in Iowa Agriculturist.
For they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as much
time and care in milking. There was
time when a dairy cow was not ex-
pected to give milk for more than six
months in the year, but with the pres
ent high prices for labor and feed this
condition of affairs can no longer profit
ably exist. The lactation period should
be at least nine months in length. The
amount of milk a COW should produce
to be profitable is variously stated at
from 5000 to G.000 pounds annually or
sufficient to yield from 200 to 240
pounds of butter fat. This would vary,
of course, with the locality, price of la
bor feed, etc. However, it is safe to
say that COW which with reasonably
good care does not produce the lesser
of these amounts is not a profitable
animal. Yet how large a percentage
OF SO called dairy cows will stand this
test?
In order to determine accurately a
cows usefulness as a dairy animal it
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period At the same time a sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freshening should also be noted in
order to determine the length of the
lactation period. a good plan is to
keep a book account with each COW,
charging her with cost Of feed con-
sumed and labor expended and credit
ing her with value of milk and calf. In
this way it will not be difficult to pick
out the nonpaying individuals.
Guernsey Cattle.
Guernseys are size larger than
Jerseys, stronger boned and a little

SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.
Proper Care Essential to Make a
Flock Profitable.

Proper Care Essential to Make a
Flock Profitable.
In caring for d flock of fowls there
are certain duties for every Clay in the
year. and it would be a wise idea for
every poultryman to have a desk cal
endar and mark on each leaf his par
ticular duties for the day, says j. T..
Schureman in Commercial Poultry
Success always keeps just few
ways procrastinating, and he never
catches up with it.
He puts off from day to day the
cleaning and disinfecting of the poultry
house, and the first thing he knows
cholera has attacked his fowls, and,
unless stringent measures are taken,
the whole flock will be infected and a
good share of them lost.
Tomorrow he intends to dust the
hens and growing stock with lice pow
der, but before he gets at it two or
three hens are found dead on the nest
and the balance of the flock is so thin
and emaciated that the profits for the
next six months are sacrificed.
He hasn't time today, but "tomor-
row. he will surely scald out the Shiny,
filthy drinking vessels. But disease is
not a procrastinator and gets in its
work via the drinking water
He really intended to spade up the
runs and scatter air slaked lime over
the ground, but one day it was too dry
and the next day too wet, and to-
morrow the chicks are gasping for
breath while the gapeworm frolics in
their windpipes.
He has a nice patch of sunfowers
already to harvest, and he'll get at
it tomorrow sure. but the birds get
at it first, and all he has left are a lot
of dried and worthless stalks and seed
less heads
The dust in the road is four inches
deep, and he knows he ought to gather
couple of barrelfuls for the winter
dust bath, but there is plenty of time
yet, and he puts it off from day to day
until the fall rains come and its name
is mud
The leaves are heaped up in great
windrows along the fences, and a cou-
pie of hours work would give him a
supply of the best kind of litter for
winter use in the scratching she'd and
houses, but they will be there ..tomor-
row." and he win have more time.
The fall rains thwart his plans again,
and the fowls stand around on bare
floors al winter
AS winter approaches he knows he
ought to bank up the north side Of the
poultry house but he is not feeling
well today, and tomorrow" every
thing is froze up solid, inside the
poultry house as well as outside.
Along about first of December he is
looking up roup cure advertisements.
He really intended to batten up the
cracks in the poultry house and fix the
roof little, but somehow he never
got at it, and now his fowls have got
the roup.
And so it goes He is always just
a few days behind hand the year
around, and instead of reaping profit
from his fowls they are positive loss
to him.

The dairy cow is bred and raised for
one special purpose butter and milk
says Hoard's Dairyman. She quickly
responds to proper treatment, and If
she is provided with plenty of clean
food, pure water and salt she will
prove the most profitable animal on
the farm. But if she is turned out to
shift for herself and has to seek shell
ter in the fence corners she will not
respond with good product, but will
treat her owner as cruelty as he does
her.
