PUT ONE over ON
A GEORGIA farmer.
Mean Trick to Which a Rural
Legislator Was Subjected.

Hoke Smith Of Georgia believes his
state crowns all others in it's sense of
civic and political honesty, and he tells
this story to prove it:
A wealthy farmer named Sneads,
who, though he could neither read nor
write, was elected to the Georgia leg
islature, was a power in politics be-
cause of his sterling honesty. When
he arrived at Atlanta he was invited
to luncheon at swell hotel by another
member of the legislature.
Sneads' host nonchalantly passed him
the bill of fare. Sneads held it before
him as If studying it intently.
well, how does that bill look to
your asked the host, unaware of his
guests inability to read.
"Well, it may be all right" replied
Sneads, slapping it down on the table,
"but you don't catch me votin' for it
till know more about it!'

"STIRRING UP THINGS"

1t is said that DR.. Bowling, president
Of the State Board of Health, is Stir
ring tip things" which he is, and as de-
!veloped, this stirring up will result in
the bettcrment Of conditions in the Sec
tons of the State he HIS already visited.
An inspection of Shreveport has dis
closed where improvements are desir-
able
This stirring up is necessary, but
there should be a limit within reason,
Innovations must not be radical and in
demonstrations there is given the assur-
ance of steady progress.
After all, there is nothing like stirring
up things intelligently
We believe in intelligent agitation and
in publicity, but there should be offered
something tangible and practical as REM
edias for each and every defect or short
coming which may be singled out for
criticism or condemnation.
In the proposed betterment of condi-
tons, it is not possible to reach the
ideals which may be suggested in attrac-
tive illustrations and details in picture
books.
For instance, in matters concerning
health the first requirement should be
cleanliness.
In cleanliness is emphasized every es-
sential to good health
AS germs and bacteria can not thrive
in cleanliness, the most simple rules to
this attainment will prove to be the most
efficient
1t is we'll to theorize, but rules and re-
quirements which may be fitted for
States in the North would not apply to
this section, if enforced rightly.
The people as a rule will respond
readily to suggestions for cleanliness, but
there may be inflicted some hardeships
in persisting in some innovations which
would seem unavoidable. In straining
at gnat we should not swallow a camel

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Keep the Colts Growing.

The colt makes its greatest growth
during its first year This should be
kept in mind when planning the feeds
for the growing colt. It should be
pushed right along and kept growing
from the time it is born. Some Of the
best horsemen feed skimmilk to the
growing colts as a part of their regu-
lar ration. This is introduced into
their feed when they are about four
months old and continued until they
are yearlings. At first about two
quarts are given and the amount grad
ually increased until they will receive
Eve or six quarts per day. Sometimes
trouble is experienced in teaching the
colts to drink skimmilk. In this case
dampen the oats or ground feed with
q little milk to begin with and grad
ually increase the amount until the
grain is fed in the form OF a slop com
posed of grain and milk. By this time
a taste will have been acquired by the
animal and no further trouble will eb
met. If this ration is continued
through the winter the colt will in
variably come out in fine shape in the
spring. and there will be no setback
incident to weaving, as is usually ex-
Derienced

THE SENTENCE OF FELIX.

New Orleans States: A victory for
decency is involved in the sentence to
jail of Sam Felix, the notorious over
lord of the Tenderloin, who for so long
has defantly snapped his fingers in the
fact of Justice. The sense of elatior1
which every respectable man in the COM
munity feels is, however, tainged with
regret that the jurisdiction of Judge
Aucion did not permit him to send this
persistent transgressor of the law up the
river to wear suit of stripes.
Felix has money and is able to COM
mand the services of counsel. Notice
has, therefore, been given of an appeal
of his case to the higher court 1t does
not seem likely, however, that a judg-
ment will be set aside where the evil
dence of cowardly assault was so clear
and where the measure of punishment
so i'll becomes the gravity of the offense.
The King of the Tenderloin" has cut
wide swath for many years; but the
realization that he has lost his power to
influence the courts and that he must
cool his heels behind the bars for the
next three months is likely to have a
most salutary effect on his behavior in
the future

Cattle Queen of Texas.

Mrs. S. p. Brundage is the cattle

with every detail of ranching, and

CARE OF THE SHEEP
FLOCK IN WINTER.
Animals Repay Liberal Feeding,
Points on Breeding.

Every farmer ought to keep at least
fifty sheep on his place. He can get a
flock of grade ewes at comparative
~ small cost, writes a correspondent
of New England Homestead. Then
he can buy a full blooded ram to head
the flock. The first thing he should
do is to pick out some good, strong
ewes of good type that show good
wool characteristics. Let the ewes be
short legged and of good bone, with
wide back and not too long neck.
Such will prove the best mixers.
When most farmers get a ram they
buy any old grade, and in that they
make a mistake Buy the very best
ram that Is to be found and do not
think so much of the price you have
to pay. In selecting a ram, get one
that is short legged, with good, wide
shoulders and back, short neck and a
good fleece Lambs from such seiec-
tons win more than pay the extra
expense the first year
Farmers do not take as good care of
their sheep as they should. Sheep
should have little grain once day,
perhaps one-fourth pound per head.
The lambs will be enough better to
pay for the grain, and the eve will
shear more wool than she would other
wise. Do not forget to raise a few
roots for the sheep. Roots will keep
them healthy and in good condition.

Poultry Notes.

Always remember that sktmmilk is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.
Never allow the laying hens, or in
fact, any poultry. to stand on damp
cold floors. Straw, chaff or leaves are
cheap
scrape up the droppings under the
roosts every morning, put in barrels
and set the barrels under cover outside
the henhouse.
Turkeys do better when not confined
in close houses. An open shed is a
good place for turkeys to roost except
in cold weather.
Chicken cholera is very rare dis
ease. Indigestion and liver trouble on
account Of improper feeding are not
very uncommon.
Do not think because the weather is
cool the lice have quit business. It
doas not take very many lice to absorb
the profits OF flock.

Ratian For a Young Bull.

1t is a common practice to let sire
have all the clover hay he will con-
sumo and then enough of the oats,
corn, bran and oilmeal to keep him in
good physical condition. A mixture
consisting of 300 pounds OF oats, 300
pounds of bran, 200 pounds Of corn
chop and so pounds of oilmeal would
go very nicely with the clover hay.
We would not feed him enough of the
concentrates to get him fat, but just
enough to keep him in good thrifty
condition.
Silage is not considered a very good
feed for the sire, but very small al
lowance is not Observation-Disclosures

As illustrative of the pessimistic at

The day after the routing of Bryan
