of course is the Democratic way

one objection can be had to this

make the only cost to candidates
be the printing of ballots. Good.

ADVANTAGES OFFARM WIND MILLS

them into winter quarters and also for
the use of watering the house.
I have a rubber hose IA feet long which
use in washing off my buggy and
wagon. 1 also use it for washing my
horses feet and legs, as the windmill
forces a powerful and effective stream.
BY means Of the patent self-loclxing and
unlocking method I can stand on the
ground and stop or start my windmill
by pulling the cord which hangs down
beside the frame. My windmill cost me
1884, but a good mill can be purchased
for $3.50 and up.
Counting the three months that keep
my stock in the pasture and three hours
work per day at 10 cents per hour, which
is the minimum wages for farm hands,
the windmill will save $27-half the price
of the mill. while 1t would cost me that
amount If did not have it for a hand
to pump water for the stock.
There are several other advantages that
the windmill is to the farm. 1t can
be attached to the grindstone, the cream
separator, churn, ETC., making 1t one of
the most useful Implements on the farm.

TOWNSVILLE SHIPS
MANY CANTAL0Ul'E

BROWNSVILLE. Ga. June H.-Canta-
loupe shipments have begun from this
territory and by next week the season
will be in full swing.
The crop is the finest ever raised IN
south Georgia, not only in regard to
acreage but in the quality of the canta~
loupes and the growers are hoping to
realize fine profits from them One
grower said today that he would have
about 40 carloads of the finest canta-
loupes that he had ever seen and he did
not think there could be a defective one
found among them.
This industry is growing every year in
this part of the state and the desire Of
the growers is to establish Themselves
with a name In the northern and west
ern markets to compete with the crop
from California which comes in about
the same time that the one from this
section does.

The other brooders were erected on the
place. They are stationary and built
about two feet off the ground with a
sloping door, which can be let down
when the chickens are to come In or
out. The builders object In having the
houses so high above the ground was
twofold In the first place it makes II
harder for vermin of any sort to inrest
the place, and secondly it always leaves
a shadyNspot beneath the house where
the chicks can gather when the sun is
particularly strong. The houses are
covered with ruberoid, and all the wood
is thoroughly creosoted as further
safeguard against the many pests,
common to chicken yards. The little
breeders have run, by feet, and
this is covered over by poultry netting
in order that no hawks can fly in, nor
cats climb III to harass the little
chicks.
The colony house itself is a model.
Tt is 40 by z feet, using minimum on
space, and is about four feet off the
ground, erected so high for the same
reason that the breeders were raised
from the ground. 1t also is covered
entirely with ruberoid as a sanitary
protection and to keep out draughts,

SOLDIERS DISCOVER
HEALTH IN TEXAS

WASHINGTON. June n.-Texas Is
turning out TO be health resort for the
army. The troops who were supposed to
be suffering all sorts of hardships as
result of the concentration in the ma
neuver camp and the long hikes over the
sun-baked prairies, are enjoying better
health than the soldiers in the most fa'-
vored posts elsewhere.
This is the deduction from special
report prepared by Surgeon General Ter
ney. which in substance shows that the
constant non-infected rate of the troops
during the month of May was only "a
per thousand, while the rate for the
entire United States army during the
last year was A.4S.

which are so often fatal for chickens.
The laying house has not yet been
erected, but Mr.. Freligh proposes to
follow the Corning plan. The princi-
pal difference of the Corning house
from the rule in such buildings is that
1t provides no outside runs for the
birds. The house to be erected on Mr..
Freligh's place will be 100 feet. the
width of his lot, long and q number of
feet wide, the theory being that the
chickens will have run of the length
of the house instead of an outside run.
The floor Of the building will be COW
cred with a litter, which will be occa-
sionaIly sprinkled with food in order
that the birds may get plenty of exer-
else The building will be scientifical-
ly fitted out with metal dropping boards
easily removable, nest and roosting
poles guarded by modern methods from
infection, and generally up to date In
every way.
To sum up this Atlanta farm: Mr..

USED CHEMISTRY To-
STOP A RUNAWAY

YONKERS, N. Y. June 17.-Prof.
Charles Edgar Roalze, Of Syracuse uni
versity, turned his knowledge of chem
istry to practical account In unusual
fashion here last night. He was walk
ing on Jerome boulevard when, he saw
a runaway horse approaching him. Two
screaming children were in peril in the
cart which the horse dragged along.
The professor happened to have in his
pocket a package of an ammonia COM
pound with which he had been expert
menting. He threw a handful in the
horses eyes as it came opposite him
and the blinded animal stopped as II shot.
Then, while a bystander held the horse,
he stepped TO a hydrant and prepared
a solution OF another chemical With this
he washed the ammonia from the horses
eyes in time to save its sight.
