out on pasture during the day and

because grass at this time is very

they are near that age.

In the laying pens we give warm
mash in the morning, feeding very
carefully, just enough to warm the
birds; then we give greens, roots like
turnips and sugar beets and alfalfa
hay. For the main meal, at four in
the afternoon, we give a good supply
Of mixed grain, chiefly wheat in the
litter, and then we always give them
more than they can eat SO they will
have some left over for the next
morning.

Mules, much abused and neglected
animals, are not generally understood
by farmers. A mule In the first place
must be of good stock, not an off
spring of some scrubby mare, but q
mare with good breeding qualities,
writes Ed Mclaughlin in the Rural
New Yorker. A mule Of the man.
moth stock is supposed to be the best
mule under all conditions. Mules are
cheaper than colts, for the service fee
is not generally as high. Many peo-
pie make a mistake in working the
mare too soon after foaling. Never
work mare under ten days, then she
can do light work, but the mule must
be left in the barn.
When the mare Is brought in from
work never allow the mule to suck as
long as the mare is warm. After
mule is two or three weeks old turn
It out in a lot away from the mare,
especially at night, for mule Is very
hard on a mare, much more than colts.
When the mule is about two months
oats, about a pint in the beginning.
Increase as he grows older, or the
same amount Of bran along with lit
tie hay alfalfa is preferred. At the
age of nine months mule should be
weaned, not gradually, but all at once.
Take it away from the mare and
never let 1t suck afterwards. He
should be put by himself or tied up.
At this time you can give an ear of
corn at meal and small amount of
hay. Tho mule should be turned out
in fair weather and not left to stand
In the stable.
A mule should be made before he
is year old. This can be done by
good breeding and the proper care.
1t is not necessary to give a great
quantity of food to him during the
winter, but it must be of the kind to
keep him growing, such as alfalfa

FIRE BUGS HAVE BIG TRUST

he located a man whose business was
poor and whose creditors were press
ing he turned him over to the solic-
itOr. And in this age, when scientific
craftsmanship has been raised to an
art, the solicitors ability to interest
his customer and sell him the SER
vices of a firebug deserves honorable
mention. He circularized prospect
i've buyers of his labors with allur-
ing letters. He called on them. He
telephoned them. He used the right
method at exactly the right moment
He stuck to the job in hand with a
tenacity that would have made him
rich in legitimate lines The victim
almost invariably succumbed. He
saw in the firebug's proposition his
last chance of saving himself from
financial ruin. Then a contract was
signed and the cash payment made.
The firebug took his money and writ
ten agreement to headquarters. A
few days later there was a mystic
riOus fire. The insurance company
paid total loss claim and the insured
and the firebugs split the proceeds.
The arson trust extended all over
the country, and was particularly
active in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Ohio and New York. In New
York recently a firebug met his death
while starting fire. A cigarette he
was smoking dropped into the gaso-
line can, which exploded wrapping
him in flames. His screams brought
help sufficient to save the building,
but not his life. In this city the ar
son trust handled clothing stores al
most exclusively. In Cleveland it
burned jewelry stores. The stock of
jewelry used in Ohio fires, where in
surance was collected, served the
same purpose in Pittsburg and other
cities.

ly breaking the machine, but fortu-

left it and went home. The NEXT
morning Mr.. Sanders went to see
about the car and found that some
mlscreant with malicious intent had
visited the machine during the night
and cut and completely ruined ali
four OF the tires. The act is mean
beyond description, and the pernn-
traitor should be caught if possible
and an example made of him. Mr.

People OF IiftOn Making Arrange

AS the time for the opening of the

Exposition draws near reports from
the various South Georgia counties
indicate an increasing interest in it's
success.
The railroads have arranged to ad-
Yertise the exposition like they never
have advertised any public occur
renee in South Georgia, and they are
making arrangements to carry enor-

located in North Georgia. North and
South Carolina and other states in
dlcate that attendance from these
sections will be heavy Thousands Of
people will take advantage of the
excursion rates to come to the expo
sition and invest in lands. The land
owners and real estate men who wish
to meet the interested homeseekers
here will have the best opportunity
ever presented.
No county can probably present it's
land to the interested and intending
purchaser without a representation
OF its products at the exposition.
Triton people are making arrange
mentS to entertain every one who
desires accommodation, and the public
is assured that there will be no over
charges-all rates will be normal.

ASTOUNDING CROP LOSS.
Insect Pests Cost the Country $780,

insect Pests Cost the Country $780,
100000 a Year.
Every year the insect problem in
this section of the country is assum-
ing larger proportions, says a Man
haitian, Kan, dispatch. The annual
countrywide crop loss from this pest
amounts to a billion dollars, and in
the state of Kansas alone it reaches
the astounding figure of 100000
600. The Hessian fly destroys TO-
100000 bushels of wheat in Kansas
every year, and the devastation caus-
ed by other bugs is equally as bad.
For a long time the United States
department of agriculture has been.
making close study of these waste
producers, and has accomplished a
great many salutary results by this
method. The insect army of crop
destroyers is fought by means of set
ting the natural enemy in the insect
line after the troublesome bugs and
thus reducing their numbers and
sometimes entirely discriminating
them.

CHICAGO.-For fifteen years a
gigantic firebug trust of national
proportions has reaped a golden har-
vest by scientific incendiarism in the
United States. This criminal octo-
pus stretched flaming tentacles into
every state and into almost every city
Of the union. In wholesale arson
schemes it destroyed thousands of
stores and vast stocks of merchan-
disc and made heavy inroads upon
insurance companies which made
good the losses.
a bungled job in Chicago laid bare
to the fire and police authorities the
inner workings and ramifcations of
this gigantic criminal combine. Chi
cago proved to be the headquarters
for the desperate incendiaries. The
chiefs of the organization were ar
rested. Their lieutenants fed. The
tirebug trust in Chicago was stamped
out, The Chicago disclosures start
ed a campaign against the national
Incendiary organization the doom of
which now seems to be sealed.
Here are come amazing fig
ures showing the enormous destruc-
ton worked by the trust in Chicago
alone during the last ten years:

fires in Chicago.

The Arson Trust.
The Dreyfus fire of June 8 last
proved the undoing Of the arson con-
spirators. 1t resulted in the arrest
of Leopold Dreyfus, He made full
confession of the inCendiary plot by
which his store was burned, and af-
ter his confession committed suicide
Dreyfus' confession revealed the
workings of a stupendous combina-
ton At the head Of the trust was
David Corshak, a saloonkeeper, who
apparently had no other object in
life than serving satisfying drinks
to his many customers. His right
hand man was Abe Rather Associ-
ated with them were dishonest mer-
chants who furnished fictitious bills
Of sale, insurance adjusters who had
an interest in the profits and work
ing force of about 20. There was
little danger Of exposure from the
inside, as Korshak chose men whose
criminal records he knew, and often
men whose liberty lay in his discre-
ton to turn them over to the author
tiles
The barring of the inner workings
of the firebugs dissolved the trust.
KOrshak fed the country Last week
he was arrested in Vancouver. He
waived eXtradition and has been re-
turned to the scene of his crime. Abe
