NINE TONS OF HAY FROM ONE
ACRE.

Nine tons of hay is a large yield
OF hay from single acre and few
would expect this yield from bermu-
da grass, yet such is the case, or at
least from an acre of vetch and ber-
muda,' according to the Southern
Cultivator.
Mr.. J. B. Wing, who lives at Ros-
we'll, in Cobb county, has an acre of
rich red-land in the rear of his home.
For years it has been sodded to ber-
muda, and has made remarkable
growth. A year or two ago he seed
ed it with vetch. Last year he cut
from this acre nine tons of well-cured
hay. While this is a remarkable
yield, considering the nature and
quality of the hay, yet Mr. Wing does
not consider this the limit. He says
If he would seed this acre to oats in
the fall and cut them as hay he be-
lieves the yield can be increased to
twelve or fifteen tons of hay per
acre. Here is higher standard for
you, but it is not the limit

FEEDING STALKS TO HOGS.

When the green stalks are given
to hogs care should be taken to pre-
vent cattle from having access to the
woody fiber which the swine will
leave after chewing the stalks. Pigs
relish chewing the stalks for the
sweetness in them, but leave
enough saccharine matter in the fl
Der to make it attractive to. cattle,
especially the younger stock This
fiber is indigestible, and the cattle,
if allowed to pick it up, will frequent
ly eat sufficient quantity to cause
impaction and harmful if not fatal
results. 1t is not safe to let cattle
into the yards where swine are given
green nstalks.-Coburn's Swine

81 800 FOR ONE FARMERS LABOR
IN 1909.
IN 1909.

While down in Coffee county we
met Mr.. H. w. Andrews, of Rock
ingham. In speaking of South Geor-
gia and her crops this year, he said:
With one mule and only the help
of two little boys eleven and thirteen
years old, will make plenty of corn
to do me and sell $1,000 worth of
cotton. Have sold, already, $3.50
worth and will have as much more"
This shows what farmer can do bv
his own labor. If man can earn
500 per month in the cities he is
doing we'll. His expenses are double
those of farmer. 1t seems to us no
farmer has room to complain when
he can make such earnings as this.
What Mr.. Andrews has done others
can do.-Southern Cultivator.

''Why, my dear SIR" said an old
farmer, eff you had the true inside
history of each case, you would find
that every animal in the Fat Stock
Show that sold for $3.50 cost not less
than $500; and Furthermore, those
over-fat cattle, which cost twice as
much as they sold for, were not worth
all they brought, from the fact that
there was a very large loss to the
consumer in fat, which cost just the
same per pound as good meat, but
which had to go in the soap-grease
class. Home and Farm.

JUSTICE COURTS SHOULD BE
ABOLISHED OR CHANGED.

abolished or rather enlarged. The
jurisdiction of justices courts should
be enlarged and a system established
that would permit one justice to try
all cases in the county at different
times, at stated places in each dis
trict as they are now held. This
would possibly be a little impracti-
cable, but we think would be a decid-
ed improvement on our present JUS
tice courts.
This one justice should be placed on
a salary basis. and should be paid a
salary that would be commensurate
with the hard duties he would have
to perform. Let him have his main
office at the county seat, but hold a
court once month in each district
for the trial of cases.
Enlarge his jurisdiction so that
he could try any kind of a case not
involving more than $1,000 and give
him jurisdiction to try all misde-
meanor cases. Let no one except an
attorney-at-law, or at least one who
could stand an examination in the
various branches of law, be eligible
to election or appointment for this
position. Let each district have a
clerk or notary public who could
issue all papers and a bailiff to serve
papers. Let all papers be made re-
turnable to the monthly term of this
court. With such system the bust
ness of any county could be kept we'll
in hand and there would be no neces-
sity for city courts. People could
then have their cases tried in short
time, and there would not be the de-
lay consequent upon trials under our
present system. Let the decisions of
these courts be subject to review by
the superior courts by writ of certio-
rari, and let the action of the supe-
rior court be final.
We submit this plan in a loose
way, and are aware that there are
many minor details not provided for
in this brief outline. However, this
plan would be a great improvement
over the present system, as our JUS
tice courts are almost farce as they
are now conducted. We say this
without disparagement to any of the
present justices of the peace, for we
have always found the vast majority
of them doing the best they know
how, to administer justice in their
courts, but there are many who are
utterly ignorant of the first princi-
pies of law. They are at the mercy
of the lawyers, and too often lawyers
seem to think their duty to their
clients requires that they evade the
law instead of enforce it. The con-
sequence is, that the justice is often
misled and law and justice become a
in their courts.
There should undoubtedly be a
change -Royston Record.

there at all during the day, and for
the first time in months, the Office

consequently he is of the opinion

The horse blanket should al
ways be ready to use after a
hard drive, for horse will chill
very quickly if left standing in a
cold wind. Forgetting to take
the blanket along has caused
many horse to develop lung
trouble that no veterinarian has
been able to cure. The shoes
are carefully looked after by
every experienced horseman.
The horse that is to be kept in
the barn much of the time
should be guarded against be-
coming soft. Some farmers try
to save money by feeding their
idle horses in hay during the
period of slack work. The re-
suit is that they begin work in
the spring with soft muscles and
little energy. Some grain should
be given during all the winter,
enough to keep the muscles in
good form. Exercise is absolute
ly necessary to keep a horse in
good trim. and there is no sys-
tenn of feeding that can be de-
veloped that will carry a horse
through an idle winter and into
spring with good, firm muscles.

Reaching a Conclusion.

When Willie was a boy he used
to wonder if he would ever be
rich-but of course he was too
young to know.
When he grew older he argued
with himself if smoking was
really injurious -but he never
settled the question.
Later he went into society and
discovered that some women are
pretty and that some bake good
bread. He often thought h e
would marry-only he could
never seem to decide which kind
he preferred.
He grew mighty interested in
science and thought he might
write book about something OF
the sort but he never did.
He joined five churches, one
at a time but he never felt quite
sure he had hit the right one.
He believed in single tax,
socialism and high tariff-but he
wasn't sure that things were not
better as they were.
In time he grew gray and
weak in the knees. One day he
was taken very ill. He called in
a homeopath, an allopath, an
osteopath and an herb doctor.
They all prescribed-but he
coulden't decide which medicine
was most likely to cure him. So
he took them all.
Then he died. And his friends
felt that it was the best thing
he had ever done. At last he
had arrived at a conclusion.-Ex
