MUTTON SHEEP.

In our foeks we must have head
and neck, brisket, shank and side
meat in order to get that strong con-
stitutdon that is necessary for the
animal to possess for the deyelopm emit
of the more expensive cuts of the
butchers ideal; and in order to bring
the breeder and the consumer near
er one idea it is necessary for us,
as breeders, to see that our mutton
sheep come as near the butchers
ideal as is consistent without impair
ing the constitution of our breeding
fiocks.
In order to obtain these results.
we must see that our mutton sheep
possess straight backs and under line,
with the ribs well sprung and
broad, thick loin with full, round quar-
tiers.
AS rule. sheep possessing these
points you will generally find evenly
covered with flesh or muscle from
chops to tail A sheep that Is uneven
ly covered with flesh or is lumpy
along the back, always has weak
ness OF the muscles.
Therefore, we must educate ourselves
to see that our mutton sheep possess
the evenly covered backs OF muscle
or flesh, and having that sensitive"
touch known to all good judges; with
full, round quarters-thus endeavor-
ing to get as much OF the higher
priced cuts as possible without i'm.

WHAT IS CRTT?'

Farmers who live where there is an
abundance of gravel provide mo- gritty
material for their fowls. Now, a fowl
always selects the hard substances
with cutting edges. Give piece Of
glass to- a fowl and when it is void
ed it will be found as smooth and
polished as though done by machin-
cry: The grit is intended to cut more
than to grind the food. IF flock
has had the run of a field, there will
be but little sharp material left, and
they VIII not swallow the smooth
gravel except as az last res1rt. To
test this matter pound some broken
glass or china and it will be noticed
that the fowls will swallow the plec-
es with avidity, although they may
be at liberty on graveslly rum

DAIRY NOTES..

There IS no fixed ration for q herd
OF dairy cows. Each animal has its
own peculiar characteristics. which
must be ascertained by observation
and catered to in order TO obtain the
best results. Each animal should
he fed according to its preferences
and those that do not respond to good
treatment should be discarded for
those more profitable
Milk that contains blood indicates
that the COW has received an Injury
/ to the udder. Wash the udder with
warm water twice day. the water to
be as warm as the cow will bear;
wipe dry and gently rub the udder
with towel until considerable heat
is created. For warts on udder or
teats, apply castor oil after each milk

ter when the COW is next MIXED.
A cow IL valuable only according
to what she produces and its cost.
One COW producing fourteen pounds
of butter is more prof able than two
cows producing seven pounds each,
because she requires less room and
also entails less expense for food and
labor. thus producing butter at low
er cost per pound.
Farmers who consider that $500
Is too much to pay for a fourteen
pound butter cow should remember
that no outlay is too great. provided
the returns therefrom are satisfac-
tory. There is great difference in
the price of a purebred Jersey and

wide difference = the butter pro.

BOUQUETS FOR
AMERICUS GIRLS
macon News.)

The following telegram from Amer
icus put the Georgia girl in an old,
but still interesting light:
'Americus, Ga, July 2.-(SpeciaD--
With spirit commendable, a host of
young ladies here came nobly to the
relief of the orchard men yesterday
At one of the large orchards it was
desired by the owners to pack and
ship ten car loads that day. Other
help was not to be had, and the peach
growers were faced with a serious
dilemma.
Believing that the girls would as
sist them in such emergency, the APP
peal for help was made, and was
met with ready response
Five farm wagons were loaded up
with some of the prettiest young lad
les of Americas and driven to the
packing house, where great piles of
Elbertas were in readiness Deft
and dainty fingers, not a few of
them ornamented with flashing SOL
taireS, packed the luscious fruit into
the crates, and the cars were loaded
on schedule time for shipments to
New York. Not only was it a source
of pleasure to the fair peach pack
ers to thus render assistance in
time of need, but a neat sum was
earned by each one at the price paid
per crate"
But who would doubt the loyalty of
the Georgia girl today. She would
not be legal descendant or true
representative of her mother and
grandmother of the last sixties did
she fail to respond in the call OF
emergency
The Georgia girl has the proper
spirit of patriotism and Americas
with such young women as respond
ed to the clal fthe fruit men. If the
industry in Sumter County does
not progress and develop, it will
surely be the fault of the men. There
is inspiration in the work of the
pretty peach packers for everyone
The section had a contract on hand
and the men were about to fail The
young women showed the way to sue
cess.
1t is small wonder that the hands
of many of these girls were adorned
with flashing solitaires," tokens of
engagements. If the young men of
that section have sense, it won't be
very long before all the pretty hands
that packed the peaches are so adorn-
ed.
What a helpmeet, and an adornment
for the home as we'll, these spirited
and interested young women would
make. A fellow basking in the sun
shine of their energetic beauty would
just naturally have to hustle.
Lnog life and pleasant ones to the
pretty peach packers of Americas

To all the world to what extremes
Our patriots will go.
Give giant crackers to the boys
To make a glorious fuss,
But have the doctors, overnight,
Prepare for tetanus.
10 fling the starry banner out
At half-mast for the sons
Of patriot fathers who supply
Their kids with fatal guns
Let every man and boy turn loose
With noise to raise the dead,
And notify the hospitals
There's extra work ahead.
Set off the fireworks with a sizz
To sling their glare about,
And let the undertakers trot
A few more hearses out.
Bang forth the rousing fusillade
That beats the beating drums,
And tell the sweepers of the streets
To watch for eyes and thumbs.
Shoot up the daylight and the dark
OF this our Glory Day,
And hang some Grape upon the door
For Willie, passed away.
The patriot fathers fit and bled
And died to make us free,
And once a year a few sons ought
To die for liberty.
Hail to the Nations natal day
Let East, West South, and North
Get ready now to celebrate
Our grand and bloody Fourth.
