Great Britain calmly took fve Chinese States,
next to her Burmah frontier.
The Christian peace makers robbed help
less China of territory and concessions Of far
more value than the japanese demand for in
demnity had amounted to.
Then came the Boxer revolt against mis-
sionary encroachments Just how many lives
were lost in that frightful butchery Of the
Chinese will never be known. Christian SOL
diers compelled Cinnamon to stand by and
see their wives, daughters and sisters out
ragged. Cinnamon were made to dig their own
graves, before being shot and tumbled into
them. The rivers were literally choked by
dead Chinese.
All of these horrors are fresh in the mind
of the East. DO you think they will be for
gotten soon? Put yourself in the place Of
those whom we Christians have wronged, and
you will know how they feel.
To them, there must be something terribly
inconsistent between the preachment of our
preachers, and the shootments of our shoot
ers.
It must battle their minds to reconcile with
each other our eagerness to win their souls
and our readiness to shoot daylight through
their bodies.
To the heather, it must appear uncertain
which our civilization most depends on-our
churches or our battle-ships; our Bibles, or
our bullets.

In vicious attack on Ex-Governor Varda-
man, the jackson Daily Meas argues that he
is unfit to represent Mississippi in the United
States Senate, because he IS not q good busi-
ness man.
In support of it's assertion, the Neaos intro
duces one of Governor Vardaman's messages
to the Legislature The contingent fund ex-
penditures were not itemized in this general
message, and therefore the NeaOS convicts
Vardaman of being unfit for the Senate!
What has ''business capacity1, in the usual
acceptation of the term, got to do with Sena-
torial qualifications? Nothing in the world.
Some OF the greatest of statesmen, soldiers,
Legislators and lawyers have been utterly
lacking in ability to manage their own pri-
vate affairs.

Vardaman's business capacity; but he must
be awfully deficient in that line, If he's q00r8e

How much of a business man was noble
George Vest? Was Senator George a con
spicuously able imam of affairs? Was Zeb
Vance a money maker? Was the late ex-
President jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, a
fine business manager?
How much of business triumph was Rob
ert j. Walker-author of the best tariff law
this country ever had? And Walker too,
was one of Mississippi's most illustrious
statesmen.
1t IS generally the case, that a great law
yer, commander, legislator, ruler, or writer
is lacking in what is called business ability.
The Duke of Marlborough was a~good man
of business, but Wellington was not, Grant
was not, Lee was not-nor were Sheridan,
Sherman, Stonewall Jackson, Longstreet,
Stuart, Pierce, Young or Beauregard. Cen
eral Joseph q. Johnston had very limited
capacity for business; and as to General Cor
don, everybody knows that Toombs spoke the
truth when he declared that if Gordon were
given million dollars, he'd lose half of it
counting it.
Neither Edmund Burke, the Earl of Chat
ham, nor Chatham's son, The Great Com
moner could manage their own private bust
ness.

man. So were Thomas Jefferson, Alexander

Has it ever dawned on you that the more

Raising Wild Geese, for Profit
By r. a. BUCK HAM, SALEM, MA

A friend of mine had derived much
pleasure, besides a comfortable profit
from raising wild geese in captivity. The
idea first occurred to him while visiting
gunners' stand on the seashore, where
wild geese were being used as decoys.
During the long waits which necessarily
occur between the flights of birds, the con-
versation naturally turned to ways and
means in vogue in this kind of shooting.
and the difficulty of securing good birds
to act as decoys was much dwelt upon.
eff they are so rare and expensive, why
could not make an honest dollar rearing
them in captivity" he reasoned, and then
and there determined to make the at
tempt.
To secure a pair of birds, goose and
gander, to begin with, was not an easy
task, and was yet successfully accom-
plished before the season was over. AS
the gunners fired upon the birds, now and
then one would be brought down which
was not seriously injured and which with
care and attention would soon recover
from it's wounds. Selecting pair of these
winged birds, he gave their injuries
careful treatment, and carried them home.
Soon they had completely recovered, and
were as well as ever.
Early the following spring. they built a
rude nest on the ground in seclnded
end of their pen. which their owner had
taken good care to provide and make APP
pear as out of the way as possible to
prove attractive with them for this very
purpose, and before long he had brood
of nine goslings running about the yard
and pen, as a result of the forethougn'
with which his plans had been laid.
Thus his little flock of wild geese had
its beginning ''I love to see them about, >
he saws, "and hear their clatter. Harsh
and unmusical 1t may be, perhaps, but
full of suggestion for one who loves the

BIG FARMERS MEETING
ON Weeks SCHEDULE
Semi-AnnuaI Convention oil
Georgia Union Will Launch
Food Crop Campaign

One of the largest and most important
gatherings Of farmers ever held in Geor-
gia will be called to order next Tuesday
morning in the senate chamber at the
state capitol, the occasion being the semi
annual meeting of the Georgia division
Of the Farmers Cooperative and Educa-
tional union.
Though many other important discus
slons will be brought UP, probably the
matter of most vital concern just at this
time is the question of starting cam
paign among Georgia farmers looking TO
an increased production of food crops,
to insure the farmers of the state against
the high cost of living and also to ma
terially reduce cotton acreage.
Recent developments have shown con-
clusively that the only logical land sure
way to remove the burden inflicted on
both producer and consumer by manipu-
by increased production, and henceforth
the whole educational force of the union
will be exerted in this direction.
A campaign for increased food crops
will necessarily mean a reduction of cot
ton acreage, as 1t will stimulate the rails
ing of various grains, potatoes, live stock
poultry and dairy products. Also, follow
ing so closely upon the heels of the recent
high cost agitation, it is believed that the
campaign will greatly strengthen the
meat boycott.
Plans for the campaign will be outlined
in detail by President L. L. Lee, in hi:
Isemi-annual address, which will take w
the most of the Tuesday morning session
Delegates from every section of the
state will be in attendance, it having beer
arranged to issue the call in such a way
that every individual will be reached. i
will go out through the various state Of
Ulcers, the presidents Of the county unions
the business agents OF the state, thu
county agents of the Union Phosphate
company, and through all the different in
dustries and enterprises affiliated will

Advance guards of the delegates will
begin to arrive Monday morning, and TO
three days thereafter the Georgia farme
will be conspiciously in evidence.

variety of causes. Generally, exposure to
cold, bad food or irritating foods are the
cause of this trouble, though organic dis
ease or parasites may produce 1t. The
symptoms vary greatly. Sometimes the
animal does not seem to be seriously at
fected; at other times there is fever, de-
preston and loss Of strength. When the
disease appears to be due to some ir-
rftating properties In the food, which is
apparently the case in this instance, it
is better to give a mild purgative, such
as a pint of castor oil. II the secretions
are OF an unnatural condition, one ounce
of carbonate of magnesia and one-half
ounce OF tincture OF opium shaken up In
a quart of linseed tea given three times
a day will be found helpful. This treat
ment should be continued until the feces
present a natural appearance. In cases
OF debilitation, lack OF appetite and evil
dence of fever, with watery discharges
from the bowels, an astringent will be
found helpful. A good thing to use in
this case is one ounce of tanic acid and
two ounces of powdered gentian. Mix
and divide into IL powders and give one
powder three times daily until cure is
effected. In all cases only choice
bright hay should be fed with some
bran or other laxative soothing foods.
SEEDING OATS IN SPRING.
w. M. P, Triton, Ca, writes: What
kind of spring oats Is best for this coun-
try? / want to SOW the kind that ma

Probably the best variety of spring oat
is the Burt This Is what Is known

February or early in March should have

adapted to the state OF the two-eared
varieties, Cookies Prolific, Hastings Pro-
life, whatley's Prolific and Mosby's Pro-
life are all good types. The corn In
our judgment should be fertilized with
a mixture containing at least two per cent
of nitrogen. ten per cent Of phosphoric
acid and four per cent OF potash, and
part of the nitrogen should be applied
in the form OF nitrate OF soda so as to
give a quick. vigorous start to the young
plants as soon as they terminate. The
balance may be supplied in the form of
cotton seed meal, blood or tankage. or
such other material as will supply it in
the cheapest form. We think four per
cent OF potash is not too much to use on
corn. even on upland clay soils. and we
are certain that a high per cent of phos-
phorfc acid should be used, since farm
yard manure IL deficient in this particu-
lar element, and you expect TO use
considerable quantity Of IL. Therefore,
you must put enough phosphoric acid in
the soil to balance up the food supply.
The question Of applying nitrate of soda
viii depend on the occasion and the con-
dition OF the crop. II 1t has made an
abundance OF stalk and Is In a vigorous
condition, we would not top dress with
nitrate; but IL IL is affected with drouth
and is backward and yellow in appear
ance and ceases to grow from any cause,
then an application Of 100 to 200 pounds
of nitrate is advisable. We think 100
pounds is about the right application to
make at one time, and If 200 pounds are
used IL is best to put 1t on in two appli-
,, cations, the first about one month after
planting, and the second just when the
corn is shooting into tassel. You will
notice that we have suggested the use OF
a fertilizer containing only two per cent
OF nitrogen, but this percentage would be
raised to three or four per cent where
from 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda
| are used as a top dressing.
