fered by W. L. Riley and seconded by a
half dozen or more. 1t was unanimously
adopted:
whereas, we have seen with regret the
efforts of the tax department of our gov.
ernment to increase the valuation OF
property and thereby increase the burden
of taxation, already too heavy, be it re-
solved:
That we do hereby express our disap-
proval of the policy, and pledge ourselves
to do what We can to defeat it.
There was not a large attendance OF

Gotten Growers Association.

The cotton growers association OF
Bamberg county held meeting in the
court house here last Monday. Hon. Jno.
W. Crum sent in his resignation as presl'
dent and Capt. J. B. Guess was elected.
He presided over the meeting and intro
duced State President E. D. Smith, who
made a most interesting and instructive
address. A good crowd was present, all
of whom listened attentively and applaud
ed frequently. Mr.. Smith gave timely ad'
vice, which if followed by the farmers,
will result in material prosperity to all
lines of industry in the South. Mr.. Smith
strongly urged the erection of warehouses,
so that the farmers would be enabled to
hold their cotton when prices were not
satisfactory. His speech was greatly en-
ioyed by all who heard it.

TURKS CRUELTY TO HORSES
Prefecture Of the Ottoman Capital
VIII Take Steps to Re

A laudable decision has been arrived
at by the prefecture of the Ottoman
capital, with the view of protecting
horses from misuse and ill-treatment
says the Constantinople correspondent
of the London Lancet. The Turks ara
on the whole, very kind to animals
and shield them from injury by every
possible means. At almost every Turk
ish house in STEAMBOAT there is to b
found a small receptacle where water
is poured in every day for the use Of
the innumerable street dogs. A Mus

rarely forgets to attach some contriv
ance for sheltering birds, pigeons, spar

Of the numerous canine scavengers
are, however, good many employers
of horse labor who use their animals
in a cruel or thoughtless manner.
To prevent this the employment o.
senile, debilitated or diseased horsei
has been forbi eden. Municipal agents
will have difficulty in Constantinopls
in insuring that the measure is strict
ly adhered to-that the load never ex
ceeds the amount proportionate to the
horses strength, and so on-but, any
how, the spirit which has influenced
the new enactment is laudable.

GRIT FOR POULTRY.

Many people make a mistake in
not providing enough grit for poul-
try in the summer time They seem
to think that as long as young chick
ems and old hens rim out of doors,
even fer a portion Of the time, they
can help themselves to all the grit
necessary. But when one raises many
chickens year after year, grit suitable
for poultry gets mighty scarce and it
oyster shells and crushed rock
around in various places where the
chickens and hens go, so that they
will have access to suitable grit at
all times.

LAMB FEEDING.

The recent lamb feeding tests at
the Ohio experiment station show
that heterogeneous foods for such feed
ing may be grown on the farm as
well as that of fat-forming foods. The
four lots were fed the same protein
roughage, consisting of alfalfa and
clover. with some admiXture of blue
grass, one and one-half pounds daily
per lamb, were fed to all of the lots.
The grain rations for the various lots
were as follows:
Lot six parts corn.
Lot 2-Five parts corn, one part
cOttOnseed meal.
Lot 3-Fire parts corn, one part
linseed oil meal.
Lot six parts corn; stock food
was fed this lot in amounts as direct
ed by the manufacturers.
Varying amounts of the above were
fed, ranging from IS pounds per lamb
per day at the beginning on Novem-
Der 80, 1905 (grai1 had been fed for
awhile before the experiment began,
to Is pounds during the last part OF
the experiment, which closed on
March Is, 1906. No marked differ
ence in gains resulted from the varl-
Gus rations, the four lots averaging
slightly over 3 pounds per day per
lamb for 104 days.
On March % and % the lambs were
slaughtered. The dressed perceLt-
ages of the various lots, including caIl
and kidney fat, We're as follows:
Lot !, $50; lot 2, 500, lot 3, 5l.1;
lot 4, SIG.
The carcasses of the lambs in lots
1 and 4, especially in lot l, showed
more internal fat than did those CT
lots 2 and 5, and were considered less
desirable for the block on this ac-
count.

The Story Of Little Peep.

For many years have made prac-
| ice OF feeding the wild birds both in
summer and winter and it has been
an unfailing source of pleasure to
watch them eagerly picking up the
td-bltS, and OF wonder to note how
quickly they lose their fear of man
kind as soon as they are assured no
harm is intended.
One of my most interesting expert
ences, writes correspondent Of the
indianapolis News, in this line oc-
Cured last summer. A member Of
my family, who also loves birds, came
upon a tiny specimen lying at his
feet, while doing some electric work
In the basement of one of our big
hotels. He picked it up and carefully
placed it in his capacious pocket, car
rying it with him until he reached
home at night When he heard a lit
tie peep in his pocket he came laugh
ingly, and laid in my hand tiny
brown and white sparrow.
1t was very much alive, although so
young, as well as hungry. After feed
ing it carefully we placed it in a cage
for the night, thinking if it lived to
keep it until strong enough to fly,
then let it go with the flock which
came daily for their luncheon to my
back lawn. 1t could fly two or three
feet only, but in very few days in
creased the distance amazingly.
In order to get it used to outdoor
life preparatory to it's flight to it's
native element, | would take it daily,
place it upon the lawn or graveled
walk, where it would busily pick at
the gravel, insects and seeds, while |
sat on guard upon the porch, lest some
stray cat might have an eye upon my
tiny birding. What was my surprise
and delight as well, the very first time
| placed it SO upon the lawn, to see
our usual flock of birds come one by |
one and settle upon the ground around |
it, eying it curiously. My heart was
in a flutter, for had become attached /
to little Peep, and looked for nothing
but that when the birds flew away it
would go with them. Almost uncon-
sciously l called softly, Peep, Peep"
and to my establishment the little
thing flew up and across the lawn
to my outstretched hands,
while all the other birds flew away.
And so, each pleasant day for weeks
carried Peep out upon the lawn,
sometimes calling a neighbor to see
It fly from among the flock of wild
birds to me at the sound of my voice.
l am sorry my bird story must end
n tragedy. Little Peep was especial
v fond Of helping itself to choice NOR
,els from the dinner table if it CHANGED
o be out of the cage at meal time.
)ne fateful day it insisted on sitting
lpon my shoulder at dinner, so |
carried it from the room, placed it in
he cage, closing the cage door as
bought. | passed through the dining
DOM door and shut it behind me. |
hought | heard little cry, and
ound that | had bruised it in the
loor. 1t talked to me and ate same
but from that, Peep, that
ad helped to brighten my summer,
Don lay in it's last sleep in my hand.
since we know that our Father notes
even the sparrow's fall" it is not
0 our discredit that we give tender
bought to all His dumb creatures.
