Yield

While he has not attained the dis
tinction of Solicitor-General Williams
or Court Clerk Allen in successful
agriculture Judge J. A. Hixon is, new
ertheless, classed a good farmer and
shows results to support this claim.
Judge Hixon gives particular atten-
ton to raising oats rather than cotton,
and on his fine farm a half dozen miles
from Americus he has a field of THIRTY
five acres that is the admiration of all
passers-by. Experienced farmers who
have seen this field express the be-
lief that crop of $500 bushels or
an average. of little more than II IL
bushels per acre. remarkably fine
yield indeed.
The land was thoroughly prepared
and well fortified, hence the bumper
crop produced. Judge Hixon raisei
20 bushels per acre on thirty acres
last year, and this season will beat
his previous best record bushel or
two per acre.

Mr. Berry bought tract of land, all
in the woods, and began clearing and
fencing a farm While getting his

endeavor to meet the urgent demand
by raising more potatoes. If millions

profit from foreign countries, our far
mers could certainly raise and sell
them at a profit, especially when the
markets are right at their doors
An instance demonstrating that the
of Irish potatoes can be
made profitable is the case of a farmer
in a nearby county, who rented a tract
of fine grass land, whose soil was very
RICH and put it in potatoes There
was large yield and he sold at a

the crop to buy the entire tract he
had rented and cultivated.

FEDERAL PRISON FOR
WOMEN UNDER WAY.

Uncle Sans women prisoners,
nearly five hundred of them, now
scattered in state penitentiaries all
over the country, soon will have a
prison of their own, prison inside a
prison, in fact, into which no man,
aside from a few higher offices ever
will penetrate.
The new prison is being built inside
the walls of the United States penl-
Tertiary at Leavenworth, Kan. 1t &C.
cupies one corner of the prison in
closure, from which it will be cut off
by high walls, as secure as those
which surround the main Enclosure.
Though less likely to chance escape
than the men, the women will be
more securely confined than the most
desperate characters in the mems
prison No community of nuns will
be any more closely shut off from the
world. Few visitors ever will pene-
trate the walls of the women's prison,
and even visits from relatives will be
confined as much as possible to
women relatives.
The government now pays the vari-
GUS states in whose prisons women
federal prisoners are kept a stated
sum for their board. These women
generally have been convicted of vio-
lations of the postal or revenue laws,
cOunterfeiting, white slavery and, in
some instances, assault or murder.
While this new prison will be under
the control of the warden of the
United States penitentiary, it will be
under the direct supervision of a
woman, who probably will have the
title of superintendent. No guards,
strictly speaking, will be necessary,
but there will be several women war
ders, whose duties, however, will par
take more of the nature of fore
women.
Upon the women prisoners will de-
volve the making of bed clothing,
tablecloths, things worn by the men
prisoners or used in the prison. They
will, of course, make their own cloth
