People.

The Board of Supervisors voted Fri

see county at the spring election this

of M. Fl. Knapp against the county.
Mr. Knapp accepted from a county
official an order voted the official for
services and presented it for payment
receiving $500 of the $500 and interest
to the time of the $500 payment, but
the treasurer being unable to pay the

which payment has since been refused.
1t is claimed by many that the claim
will be practically unanimously en-

RAISING STOCK AND
CHICKEN FEED

S one of the most important
IN questions now before the
d u farmers in this country is
the raising of plenty feed and hay
for our livestock, and also food
for the people, and diverting some
of our cotton land into these prod
'ucts, there is no one question be-
fore the public so important as
the raising of alfalfa in the south,
which can be so easily done if
gone at in the right way. II every
farmer in the state of Georgia had
a small area planted in alfalfa 1t
would be only a few years before
we would have thousands OF
acres in this country green with
it. II one-fourth of Georgia to-
day was covered with green al
falfa, which could so easily be,
this country certainly would be
prosperous and the land would be
worth $500 per acre instead or
the prices it is now bringing.

weeks ago my niece picked up the

walk, but would fall on breast with
legs and feet straight behind, and
could not get up. She walked a little
just before night. / did not doctor
her any and she has not shown any
signs of it since. On Sunday last the
drake got so he could not walp at
times and would stay in the vessel of
water so long, trying TO get out and
would fall over the sides of the ves-
sell il being full Of water though
not large enough for them to swim
in. i put him out by wings and tried
to hold him up and see il it would

and will appreciate any information
on the subject.
ANSWER.
Indian Runner ducks, as well as all
others. are very easily frightened. and
often injure themselves upon being
caught or frightened. 1t is best not
to handle them except when absolute
ly necessary, and it is also advisable
to keep them quiet. Often ducks will
strain themselves or injure some OF
the leaders in their backs by becom-
ing frightened and trying TO get loose
from the person handling them. Ducks
should be handled by the neck. al

Mrs. w. j. d., Abbeville, s, c.
I have been reading your poultry
pieces with great interest during the
summer lam interested in poultry
and have the White Wyandottes ana
like them very much.
My chickens have a few black
feathers, their combs are good, and
they have good shapes, Should they
be clear of all other colors? Wish
you would give me the most impor-
tant points as to what it takes to
make thorough chicken.
ANSWER.
White chickens of all kinds
should be free from any black or
colored feathers. However, nearly
all White Wyandottes and White
Orpingtons have more or less
flecks of black showing through
out their plumage. 1t is a serious
objection and birds showing much
of this should be discarded. How
ever, these are occasionally found in
the very whitest birds The most
important points in any variety of
chickens is the shape sections-that
is good back. a good breast
and proper shaped body, usually
makes a good high scoring bird,
especially in the solid color birds.
of course the color has to be con-
sidered but not so much. as the
shape, according to the STANDARD
requirements You should get a
Standard and apply to your chick
ems and you can then tell what you
have You cannot do so 9th erwise.

Subscriber, Stone Mountain, Ca
Will you please tell me through
The Semi Weekly Journal. what TO
DO for my chickens. They have
the sore leg and scales on them
and are swollen.
ANSWER,
The best thing to do with chick
ems with scaly legs is to grease
them with raw linseed oil and car
bolic acid, to which has been add
ed a small amount of kerosene oil
and salt--say one pint linseed oil,
two ounces of carbolic acid, one ta-
blespoonful of salt and table,
spoonful of kerosene oil. If this
is thoroughly applied three times,
once every five days. the scales
will usually come off upon being
washed in warm water and using an
ordinary tooth brush or nail brush
for this purpose. They should be
creased once more after being dried.

week or longer and then die. They

ANSWER.
4 have been away from home

TO tell you the trouble with your
turkeys. The best thing you can do
is to confine them to a yard
where they can get nothing to eat

Give them plenty of wholesome
food, but not too much of il. They
should have some condition powders

1t makes no difference how you

in the soft mash, just so they get 1t
in their systems. Tablespoonful to
five to eight grown chickens and

SEYMOUR'S PHOTOIN
SANDBERG'S PAPER

Peter sandberg for years has been known as the
"dive king Of Tacoma
w. W. Seymour for several weeks has been run
ming for mayor Of this city.
PETER sANDBERG, PRESIDENT This is
what may be found at the top Of the editorial page of
the Puget Sound Posten, published by the Puget
Sound Publishing company in Tacoma.
A. r. Titlow surprised an audience at Pacific
Heights last night when he unfolded copy of the
paper and displayed the photograph of w. w. sey-
mour in an article on the same page that Sandbergs
name appears. Swedish people who have translated
the article say that it refers pleasantly to Mr. Sey
mour and that he receives better notice than does
Fawcett It is said that Fawcett is given little
"dig." Following this article is letter to the
Posten prominently displayed which speaks strongly
in favor of Mr.. Seymour.
The article in which appears Mr. Seymour's pic
ture is not an editorial advocating his election as
mayor but, according to Swedish people, he receives
better consideration than any other candidate. The
issue is of March 80, 1911
The Scandinavian paper, The Tidende, edited by
Mr. John Blaauw is strongly in favor of Mr.. Faw-
cett
Pete Sandberg, as every man on the street
knows would welcome opening of the restricted dis
trict
