would hesitate, however, to sod this late
in the season, and would rather defray
the operation until late March or early
April. If you have terraces to protect
you might sod them or cover well with
coarse material and rubbish.
If you do not care to go to the expense
OF sodding, the next best thing is to sow
perennial rye grass Immediately. The
ground should be narrowed and we'll pre-
pared and a complete fertilizer contain
ing at least per cent Of nitrogen, 10 per

try to secure a stand of some of the
so-called evergreen lawn grasses recon-
mended for use throughout the south, but
which will not in our opinion stand the

use at least 200 pounds of acid phos-

Free Trial of Stock Tonics

There is really no secret about stock
tonics-neither about their ingredients nor
their effects on live stock. There is also
no doubt about the usefulness of Stock
TONES. Their good effects are as certain
as are the nutrient action of foods. In
fact, the benefits of a rightly compounded
tonic are more certain than that of food.
Food sometimes nourishes and some
times doesn't. 1t depends altogether on
the condition organs OF digestion as
similations
But a good tonic, used as intended, al
ways acts with stimulating and reStora-
tive effect on the functions that make nu-
triton possible.
The Wilbur Stock Food Co. offers
TO demonstrate the certainty of the bene-
fits of their Stock Tonic, in every case,
by giving away, in locations where they
have no agent. a 25-pound pail to any
stock owner who will ask for it, accom-
panying the request by a statement of
the number of head of stock he owns.
They have been making this stock tonic
for % years, and know absolutely what
1T will do. They run no risk in giving
away the % pounds as they are certain 1t
will be it's own best solicitor in the hands
OF the intelligent stock owner.
Every keeper of live stock ought to
take advantage of the OFFER for his own
satisfaction and profit. Write the Wilbur
Stock Food Co., IT'S Huron street. Mil
wAukee. Wis, stating the number OF
hogs, cattle and horses you own, or fill
out the coupon attached to the company's
advertising and send it with request for a
pail of Stock Tonic which will be sent
promptly without any charge. $40

Cadet Booker. who is a son Of j.. Fl I
Booker, ST., formerly legislator frouf
Troup county, was in tn esenior class
at west Point, and would have gradu-
ated this year except for his expulsion
He and his friends claim that he is M
nocent of any wrong doing. and the
charge against Booker seems to bear
out this claim. He was expelled NOT
because of any participation in the s'alI-
fours'' races between under-classnsen but
because being in the proximity of the
contest he failed to suppress them It
is slater authoritatively that Booker was
not within so feet OF the scene OF the races,

only of their occurrence by the noise
they provoked.

Now that the rosy condition Of the

For some time the situation was tense

the treasury was in a bad way.
But there's plenty of change on hand,
