supplementing scrub stock all over
south Georgia.

consists of two brood mares and five
mule colts. is another evidence OF the
folly displayed by the south Georgia

mule, when mules just as good can be
much less. Mr.. Dickson also mas two

BUY OLD GOLD MINE
IN LINCOLN COUNTY

LINCOLNTON. Ca. Nov. u-Messrs
J. L. Green and B. f. Graves, both Of
this county, have acquired control of the
Green gold mine, located in the south
ern part of Lincoln. and will begin next
week to operate it. They have purchased
an outfit consisting of machinery of mod

readiness for opening up the mines IN
about a week.
The old Green mine has not been work

in former years been a very paying in.

in that entire section of the county and
it is quite probable that some other
properties will be developed since the re-

MEASU RING. CORN IN THE CRIB.
A correspondent writes: l would like
to know how to obtain the number or
bushels in the shuck in. a crib. For
instance, if a crib is 10 feet long by
IA feet wide, and the corn is four feeS
high. how would you find the number
of bushels contained?
To determine the number OF bushels
of ear corn in a crib of given dimel-
sions. multiply the length in inches
by the breadth in inches and that again
by the height in inches. Divide the
product by 2,74S, the number of cubic
inches in a heaped bushel. The quo
tient will be the number of bushels of
ears in the crib. Take two-thlrds OF
the quotient for the number of bushels
of shelled corn. Corn in the ear weighs
20 pounds to the busheI, shocked about
so pounds. Some allowance must there
fore be made for the shock.

Over $500 boys and 1900 girls were en-

oEEDED HIS LAND TO GOD
Unique Instrument Made by Richard A. George of North AttIeboro Is
 Filed With the Registrar.

A unique instrument was filed re- gently with the Taunton registrar of deeds by Richard A. George of North Attleboro, in which a tract of land in New Boston, a suburb of North Attic boro, was conveyed to the Lord of Hosts.
 So far as known it was the first instrument filed in New England mak- Ing such a conveyance.
 In the deed the Lord Is named as the grantee and the representatives of the Lord in the transaction were Charles Carpenter, E. s. Barstow and A. H. Jamison, all of North Attleboro, who are described in the paper as be- Ing trustees of the Christian Work CTS union. The grantor was Richard A. George.
 The deed is couched in the ordinary legal expression and declares that Richard A. George of North Attic boro, in consideration of $1 and other valuable considerations paid by the Lord, represented by Charles Carpen- ter, E. s. Barstow and A. H. Jamison, trustees of the Christian workers
  of which is hereby acknowledged, does hereby give, grant, bargain. etc, unto the said Lord and representa- tives, a certain lot of land situated in North Attleboro, on the New Boston road" Then follows in the deed a more particular description of the property.
 The lald was purchased in 1904 by the Christian Workers union of North Attleboro, but the instrument setting forth the transfer was not presented to be recorded until the past week.
 It is supposed that the matter oi tax assessments will have to be borne by the trustees of the Christian Work CTS unioDAunless some special exemp- ton from taxation Is secured This will be determined later.
 New Boston is a small village some three miles from North Attleboro, on the road to Foxboro. A number of years ago some of the villagers formed a religious society. and meet ings have since been held by the 25 or 30 members. The body took the name of the Christian Workers union
 In 1904 the society decided to erect small structure as a place of worship. The land was purchased of Richard A. George, one of the mem bers, and he deeded the property to the creator, naming as temporary custodians the trustees of the union
 MT. George, the grantor of the unique instrument, is a jeweler by trade and Is employed at Attleboro Falls.

Turks Must Study German.

Germany has gained a diplomatic victory, the consequences of which can hardly be foretold, in persuading the Turkish government to make the study of the German language oblig- atory in all the elementary schools of the Ottoman empire.
 Practical and far-seeing Germans long ago realized that the spread of the German language Is one of the best methods of promoting German trade interests in distant parts of the world, and the German government has always given its support to the foundation of German schools in over sea countries.
 In recent years great efforts have been made to establish the German schools in China, Persia and many other countries in which Germany has commercial ambitions.-New York Tribune.

ALL CAN RAISE THE PEANUT
2oobers Do Fairly Well as Far North As Iowa-5est Variety of Plant
 Is the Spanish.
Ry HuGH e. GRINsTEAp.l

A few years ago 1t was thought that peanSts or "goobers" as they are called in the south, could be raised only in the southern states, but now 1t is known that they do fairly well as far north as Iowa
 The best variety of plant so far north is the Spanish which grows in a bunch, can be planted closer and natures earlier and more even than the old Virginia varieties. The soil best suited to the growth of peanuts Is sandy or warm and well drained.
 Peanuts should not be planted till the ground is warm about the same time you would plant melons. Prepare the ground well, and drop the seed two in a hill 14 inches apart for the bunch kind and about 20 inches for the vine kinds usually grown in the south.
 They should be kept clean. It is not necessary to cover the vine with dirt in order to get 1t to form nuts as was once done, for the vines will throw out runners on which the nuts form by little roots running into the ground.
 l. I never saw a peanut plant quit bearing. Like the cotton plant, they have fruit of all stages of growth when the crop is harvested. and of course the longer the season the larger the crop.
 As soon as there Is danger of frost the vines should be pulled up. A fork should be run under the hill loosening the ground so all the nuts may be pulled up with the vine. The vines may be allowed to remain in the field if the weather is good. or they may be taken to the barn and the nuts picked of at any time.
 If the vines are not allowed to get wet they make excellent hay. There will be many culls or imperfect nuts that are worth nothing and should be left on the vines for the stock.
 A pound of nuts from any good seedsman will plant enough for home use. They are healthful food and con- tain mnuch nourishment.

KEEP THE HEN HOUSES CLEAN
Success With Poultry Depends Large. Iy Upon Vigilance in Sanitation
 and Proper Disinfection.
Ry LOUIS ARMRREcHTo

Lice are the greatest enemies ol poultry, and their presence is one of the leading causes of poverty in their flesh. Complaint is constantly made that the fowls are fed sufficiently to keep them in good flesh, but that they are still poor. Such birds are ire quently examined for insects without the discovery of any; but if the roosts and walls of the hen house are closely examined uncountable numbers of in- sects will be found, awaiting the re- turn of night for another attack upon the roosting fowls. The remedy lies in cleanliness. Poultry insects breed rapidly in unventilated, seldom cleaned poultry houses and in places where the birds perch at night. Spray the roosts, the nests, the walls, the cracks and the crevices with kero- sene oil Coal tar conservatives of wood are also valuable insecticides and disinfectants for the hennery. Sue cess with poultry depends as much upon vigilance in sanitation and dis infection as upon proper feeding and housing
