The Care Of Tools.

To keep the farming and gardening
tools clean and free from rust, apply q
coat Of wagon grease to the steel parts,
such as plowshare, cultivator shove.s,
blades Of the hoe. ETC., whenever they
are not in use. This leaves them in
perfect condition, so not a moment is
lost when one is ready to go to work
with them. Another plan which is es-
pecially good to follow when storing
tools when idle is this: Take crude
petroleum and stir enough mineral
paint into it to make it spread evenly.
Apply with q brush to the tools and
it will prevent rusting, yet it is easy
to remove, and will leave the tools
bright end clean.
If the small tools have been neglect
ed and are found badly rusted in
spring, the easiest way to clean them
is to let the working parts soak twelve
hours in the whey from sour milk. At
the end Of the time the rust can be
rubbed off with a stiff brush or coars?
cloth. and after they are thoroughly
dried a good coating Of kerosene will
improve them.
Most of us have trcunle with tools
disappearing. and whether from dis
honesty or careleSsnesS, On the part Of
neighbOrS. marked tools seem to stay
with us better. Clean e spot Oh the
smooth steel and cover it with q layer
of melted be?swaX. Thet with a sharp
instrument mark tho name or initials
on the wax, h?inG careful to cut
through it to the steel. Fill these
lines in the wax with nitric acid, let
ting it remain Il few hours, aft"rwHrl
washing it Off carefully with clrah
water. After the wax is cleaned Oil
the letters will show perfectly pial%

Development O 2 Colt.

The full, rounded development Of a
colt depends principally upon its feed
during the first year and half of its
lifa. If the mare is good mixer the
colt gets started naturally, but many
mares are not good mixers and the
colt requires additional feeding at an
early age. In order to raise valuable
colts it is necessary to watch their
progress. 1t is easy to see when colt
is doing well. A stunted colt never
makes q good horse. It is folly to go
to the trouble and expense of raising
colt and neglect proper feeding, as this
is the finishing without which the
greater time, money and labor practic-
ally are thrown away.

in the matter of health, and especially

QUITE HULLlsH THE ESTIMATE

The estimate was even lower than

This report really forecastes the crop,
as comparatively a smalt amount of
cotton will be ginned during these last
two weeks of December, and the end
is now foreseen.
The crop this year will scarcely go
over ten million bales.
Elsewhere, conditions are the same
as here, or worse, and everyone knows
very we'll that there is no more cotton
to be ginned in this section of Georgia.
This being true, the ginning yet to be
done will show considerable slnmp in
the next report.
AAd IN the meantime the price of
cotton will go higher; very much high.

THE RAINFALL YET CONTINUES
And Holiday Trade is Given Black
Eye


The heaviest rain of the entire fall
season fell for fifteen hours in Ameri-
Gus yesterday, being continuation of
the vile weather prevailing for nearly
two weeks. From midnight until the
afternoon yesterday it rained without
cessation, while merchants with holt
day goods to sell looked gIoomily into
the deserted streets for the horde OF
holiday buyers who came not, simply
because they could not. And the man
who dishes out the weather sees no
prospect of change. Americus people
have never in years seen such vile
weather OF Christmas, when usually the
season is as balmy and bright as in
April, the nearest approach to it being
in 1898 when the two regiments OF
troops were camped here. But after
all the clouds may pass away today and
let Christmas dawn bright ard fair as
of yore.

Yagrancy IS to be discouraged, and
