Bowers Philosophv.

Uncle Michael K. Boyer has the fol-
lowing bits of philosophy in the Farm
Journal:
All the world loves the egg maker.
A few neglects in the poultry yard
are apt to upset the profits.
1t is bad economy to cut down the
quality of the feed. Poor food is
wasteful.
Each flock has good, bad and indiffer-
ent layers. 1t viii pay TO Gull out the
Improbable ones.
The first year the beginner thinks be
knows it all; five years after that he
finds that he was mistaken.
Trouble promptly investigated gen
orally leads on to a remedy. Don't
fold your arms and sigh that it is
"just your luck"

Teetotaler Drowned In Beer.

James Canham of Walthamstow,
England, who for many years had been
stanch teetotaler, was drowned in

east end brewery in London and was
standing on ladder against the vat

Pheasants are considered hard to

And speak in different tongues and have

Each of the others being and no heed,
And these Ger unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross. escaping wreck. defying
death
And all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end
That ore day out of darkness they shall
And read lifes meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way Of
life,
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face

And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp and
lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisfied. And this is fate.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of HyOmei. Cures
without Stomach Dosing.

There has been a marked falling off
of sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines
which were formerly purchased in
gross lots are now seldom called for,
AID the druggist rarely buys more
than a dozen at time.
Hyomei is notable exception to
this decrease in sales. 1t is, in fact,
largely responsible for the lessened
sales of catarrh medicines, as it has
cured so many people of catarrhal
troubles that naturally there is less
call for remedies for that disease.
There is no disagreeabIe stomach
dosing with Hyomei. 1t is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit.
Fred d. Pierce gives his personal
guarantee that the money will be
refunded unless the treatment cures,
so that you run no risk at all in buy
ing this reliable remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, extra bottles, if needed, SOC.

Major Newman continued without

Feeding Green Cut Bone Pays.

Mr.. A. F. Hunter, who is one of the
regular contributors to the New En-
gland Farmer, not long ago said in
the columns of that paper, "Feeding
fresh cut bone to fowls to induce
abundant laying has proved decided
ly profitable thing. The bones are
rich in animal matter and contain lime
of which the egg shells are made, and
hens fed on fresh cut bone will lay
larger number of eggs than if fed no
bone. Not only will they lay a larger
number of eggs, but the eggs will be
stronger bodied, will be better eggs,
and If incubated will have better and
stronger chicks" O. s. Page, of Hyde

Montaigne on ools.

In discussion nothing veXes me so
much with folly as that it is more sat-
isfied with itself than wisdom can rea-
sonably be. Obstinacy and foolhardi-
ness fill their possessors with joy and
assurance. IT'S for the most ignorant
to look at other men over the shoulder,
always returning from the combat full
of joy and triumph. And for the most
part this assurance of speech and gay
ETY. of countenance give them the bet
ter of it in the opinion of the audience
Obstinacy of opinion in argument is
the surest proof of folly. Is there any
thing so assured, resolute, disdainful,
serious and grave as the ass?

The Deadly Tongue.

The Deadly Tongue.
The second most deadly instrument
of destruction is the dynamite gun.
The gun merely kills bodies; the tongue
kills regulations and ofttimes ruins
characters. Each gun works alone; each
loaded tongue has hundred accom-
plices. The havoc of the gun is visible
at once. The full evil of the tongue
lives through all the years; even the
eye of Omniscience might grow tired
in tracing it to its fnality. The crimes
Of the tongue are words of unkindness,
of anger, of malice, of envy, Of bitter
ness, of harsh criticism, gossip, lying
and scandal. Theft and murder are
awful crimes, yet in any single year
the aggregate sorrow, pain and suffer
ing they cause in a nation is micro
scopic when compared with the sor-
| rows that come from the crimes Of the
tongue.-William George Jordan.

La Rochefoucau!d on Love.

Love, like fire, must have continual
movement. When it ceases to hope
and fear, it ceases to exist.
The reason why lovers are never
weary of being together is because
they are always talking of themselves.
Goodness in love is sure means OF
being beloved.
The more we love the nearer are we
to hate.
Women who love, more easily pardon
great indiscretions than little infideli-
ties.
1t is impossible to love a second time
what we have once really ceased to
love.

FORTUNE FOR SUMTER FARM
REPORTED SALE OF THE HUGUENIN PLANTATION
Magnificent Estate Sumter County Reported to Have Been Sold fol
the Princey Sum of 100000 to Georgia Parties.

The magnificent Huguenin Planta-
ton in Sumter county and perhaps the
largest landed estate in Georgia under
cultivation, has just been sold, it is
stated, to Gainesville parties, the deal
being closed day or two ago.
1t is said the sum of two hundred
thousand dollars is the consideration
named in the deal.
While the transaction took place in
Macon where Mrs. Martha Johnston,
who owned the plantation resides, in
formation of the big deal reached
Americus yesterday.
And in realty circles it was discuss
ed with interest.
The Huguenin Plantation comprises
eleven thousand acres of splendid
farming and timber lands, the timber
thereupon being considered the finest
in southern Georgia. In point of acre
age it is one of the largest farms in
Georgia
The purchase, it is said, includes
stock, wagons, and all farming uten-
sils on the place.

A disastrous fire occurred at
noon yesterday on the c. S. S.
Horne plantation eight miles
east of Americus, which swept
away his large ginnery and entire
contents of cotton bales, seed cotton,
and the seed from seventy other bales.
About thirty bales of cotton were
burned, besides the valuable lot of
cotton seed stored there.
The total loss will probably exceed
$4,000.
Just how the fire originated those
who were working about the ginhouse
do not know. The fire was first dis
covered in the lint room, and spread
with great rapidity until the building
was completely enveloped by the
flames.
A match in the cotton or a spark
from the engine may have started the
disastrous blaze.
A large number of bales, packed
and ready for market, lay near the
