Don't NenIect the Yard.

While cutting the hay put on the
farm you will of course VI VIZ uusy,
but don't get so much so that you for
get or neglect the yard about the
house. A few minutes with the lawn
mower now and then will do the
work all right.
The mower, do you say? Not half
the farmers lof the country have I'm
a thing" know that, and / am sorry
it is so, too. We ought all to have
mower of that kind just as much as
we do broom for the house. We
ought to use it, too, so that the lawn
might always look neat and trim.
The farm home is where we live. Far
more than we know does the appear
ance of things about this home shape
our lives and that of our children and
our neighbors.- Epitcmist.

Following the action yesterday Of
the state democratic executive COM
mittee in naming primary and coli
vention dates, Governor Joseph M.
Brown, in brief statement, announc-
ed that he will be candidate for re-
election in the primary OF August 20.
Governor Browns announcement
does not come as any surprise; his
friends and the public generally have
long expected it shortly following the
executive committee meeting.
1t is well known that Governor
Brown purposely and decorously de.
layed his announcement until this
time because he did not desire to
put a political campaign upon the
people Of the state until the executive
committees action made time and oc
casion for it.
Governor Browns Statement.
In making announcement of his can
didacy for reelection, Governor
Brown says:
Il have considered it improper TO
make any declaration affecting a can
didacy for governor until at least af-
ter the state executive committee
nad met and named the day and made
other arrangements for the primary
election. Now that the committee has
met and done its work, consider that
the people have the right to- expect
declaration of mp intention. ! there
fore say / will be candidate for re-
election to the office of governor in
the primary which has been ordered
by the state executive committee of
the democratic party to be held Aug
ust 23 next.
cat this time ! will only say that
/ have appreciated beyond measure
the great honor the citizens Of Geor-
gia have conferred upon me, and have
endeavored to the best Of my ability
to be the governor of all the people
impartially and honestly and in ac-
cordance with the constitution and
the laws, without regard to class,
clique, locality or faction, ! shall con-
tinue SO to be, and, II reelected, the
same policy shall be my aim through
out another term"

MANY IMMIGRANTS COMING TO
SUMTER.

Americas, Ca, June Especial -
Sumter county is to be literally del
uged during June by South Carolina
farmers and investors seeking farm
ing lands here. Since the railways
have granted excursion rates from
several Carolina cities TO Americas
arrangements have been made there
by large numbers of substantial far
mers to come to Sumter, The land
is Of fine soil and fine roads. A party
of one hundred from Greenville, Sen.
eca and Cheraw principally will reach
Americas June q to look over SUM
ter county.
Already the advance guard Is here
securing options upon farms. Within
the past six months one-half million
dollars of South Carolina money has
been invested in farm lands here in
Sumter, and the real tide of immigra.
ton is just setting in.

Practical Poultry Polnta.

The French method of preparing
poultry for market is acknowledged in
some respects, superior to others. The
birds are made very fat and plump.

plumpness. A few feathers are left
on tail and neck. The skin is white
and delicate. Each carcass is tied
with ribbon, and is shown back IN.
permost, instead of breast up. accord
ing to American and English usage.
It is when the duck is not laying
that she readily takes on fat.
Corn, barley and buckwheat are
very fattening grains, the latter hay
ing tendency to whiten the flesh.
Sweet potatoes are sugary, and as
such are fattening, but give yellow
tinge to the flesh.
Scientists tell us that ton of wheat
contains Al pounds Of nitrogen: bar.
ley, 80 pounds; oats, 38 pounds; corn.
80 pounds peas, 70 pounds beans, 81
pounds; hay, 81 pounds clover, SO
pounds; milk, 10 pounds; potatoes, 6
pounds.
The late M. Barral of France laid
down the rule that in every case the
food given should be in proportion to
the weight Of birds, taking into con-
sideration their active nature and
such accessory products as eggs and
feathers. Generally speaking, an av-
erage hen will consume three ounces
of grain per day, or over a bushel in
the course Of year.
Some poultrymen in the South use
rosin in dressing poultry, claiming
that by its use they can do the work
quicker and more thorough. The fowl
is first dipped in cold water, then
with a perforated can powdered rosin
is sprinkled all over the feathers The
fowl is then scalded in the usual man
ner, and the whole coat-pin feathers
and ALT is said, comes off very cas-
lily in the mass, and the job is COM
plete. It does not in the least affect
the appearance of the skin.
No success can be obtained with
poultry unless the fowls are kept COM
Portable. A fowl drenched with rain
is not comfortable. A man caught in
rain storm can chaneeShis clothing
and thus save catching q cold, but
fowl must allow her clothing to dry on
her. No fowl can stand 3 constant ex-
posture to inclement weather, and the
more we protect them the better will
be the results
Capons, generally, are dressed by
leaving feathers on the neck from the
head down two-thirds to the shout
ders. They are also left ION two first
joints of wings, on TAIL half way up the
back and on legs from NEE joint two
thirds up the hips. Abide rest of the
feathers are taken off
Boston market prefes the head OF
the fowl taken off at tie throat. Strip
the blood out Of the mex; peel back
the skin little remoB a portion Of
the neck bone; and then, just before
packing, except in warn weather,
draw the skin over tie end and tie
and trim neatly.-Wee5ly Witness.

There is, perhaps, no other i'm
production that is as often disregard
ed as that of the selection of bulls TO
head the herds of grade COWS from
which are produced the teeulng caU.le
Of the country.
The breeder of feeding cattle,
whether he fattens them himself or
sells them to cattle feeders, cannot
afford to use common bull of indis-
eliminate breeding. Feeding cattle
that are we'll bred and possess quality
enough to weigh one thousand pounds
or better at two years old are worth
all the way from $40 to $50 per head,
depending upon their Individual quail,
1ty and condition. Such feeding cat
tie can be produced from grade beef
cows mated with choice beef bulls.
Common and inferior feeding cattle
that are produced from common COWS
and grade or scrub bulls frequently
attain an age of three or more years
before they reach one thousand
pounds in weight. Such feeders at
such an age and weight are worth
from $27 to $50 each. The lesson
should be plain that it does not pay to
use an inferior bull that sires the
steer that pays the owner but nine
dollars per year for his keep against
the one that pays twenty-five dollars
to twenty-five dollars per year.
1T may be claimed that the fault is
not altogether with the bull. We grant
that. But suppose the COWS are the
same in either case, the well-bred bull
will produce feeding cattle which will
grade at least two grades higher than
the feeding cattle produced by the
mediocre bull.
There is usually about thirty-fve
cents per hundred-weight difference
in price between one grade of feeding
cattle and the next higher grade. II

Our Exchanges.

There is on a large gathering OF
bankers, now in Atlanta, and, as usu-
al, Atlanta seems determined to give

they fail to do something in this line,

There seems to be a spirit abroad
