BIG Thing FOR FARMER
PARCEL POST SYSTEM
Hundreds of Sumter Families
Benefited.

Near Americus, as elsewhere hun-
dreds of farmers will benefit by the
parcels post system if congress passes
tile bill expected to come UP at this
session. 1t will be the greatest con-
yenienca to people served by rural
routes that has been provided by
Uncle Sam since the routes them
selves were established.
If farmer, for instance, needs a
hoe, or a clawhammer, or five pounds
of nails, and hasn't got the time to
stop a plow and send "a hand to town
and get it, he can drop lis hardware
dealer postcard today and get it de-
livered to him tomorrow. And it will
cost him only % cents.
The bill provides that packages up
to II pounds can be sent by parcel
post. This gives the farmer chnaca
to get most anything he needs, with
no Inconvenience and at a small cost.

Few of the hens have almost a new

there is about 90 per cent of waste

The fowls may often be induced to
hasen their shedding and renewing
of feathers by short period of re-
duced rations. IF fed almost no food
for week in late summer, egg pro-
duction may be entirely stopped and
moultlng will most always follow.
Abundant (iediltg should then be
practiced, using linseed meal, animal
meal and gluten feed to supplement
the ration. The nutritive ratio of the
rations for producing eggs is I:46 for
Leghorns, and I:42 for Plymouth
Rocks, but during the mot a ration
standing is would be better. This
method OF starving and following with
heavy feed, applies most where the
fat hen concerned and for condi-
tions represented under 'fact 3rd."
For the average farmer the prompt
molting and early consumption Of egg
production are more apt to be in
duced by emitting the starving pro-
cess and feeding very abundantly of
the ration having nutritive ratio of

But one wants TO remember that
when a hen stops laying. her ten
dency is to laze around and put on
fat. She must be kept busy--exercise
at this time is imperatve-it is alb
solutely necessary if the fowls are to
be kept over for winter egg produc-

These nutritive ratios may seem

who may read, and for such it might

ways appealed to his youthful, magma
ton, and now that he had grown to
manhood, he resolved to realize his
ambition. He was fortunate enough to
become pupil of Horace Bixby, and
he was soon guiding the awkward
river craft along tho tortuous channel
of the muddy stream.
The idea of his becoming an author
had never entered his mind at that
time, but he absorbed enough of the
pilot life to enable him to describe the
difficulties encountered in guiding a
boat, along the great river in his Life
on the Mississippi River" which he
wrote many years later.
First Literary Work.
In 1862 he began his first regular
literary work on the staff of the vir-
ginia City Enterprise. He wrote col
umn daily, dealing with the political
situation In the state, that attracted
wide attention. These articles he
signed with the nom de plume Mark
Twain" which he had heard sung out
on the Mississippi steamers to let the
pilot know that the sounding showed
two fathoms of water.
In March of 1867, Twain" published
his first book. "The Jumping Frog Of
Calaveras County" The book made
quite stir in that part OF the coun-
try, but only 1000 copies were sold.
1t attracted the attention, however, of
the editor OF the Alta California, who
sent the author out as a newspaper
correspondent on steamboat excur.
sion to southern Europe and the Orr.
ent
His letters were published from time
to time, and in 1869 the author re
vised them and published them II
