Dairymen and farmers throughout
Georgia are showing keen interest in
the tour now being made through the
state by the Dairy instruction Car,

fliated lines in cooperation with the fed
eral and state departments of agriculture
and the State Agricultural college for
the purpose of ging the develop
ment of dairying and the live stock in
dustry.
The car commenced its tour of instruc-
ton at Brunswick Monday, July 8, in the
presence of a large crowd. During the
remainder of the week the car visited
Jesup. Bailey, HaZlehurst, Lumber CITY,
McRae, Eastman. Cochran, and at each
stop gratifying interest was shown in
the lectures and demonstrations, while
the free milk testing proved a popular
feature The Georgia tour of the car will
last six weeks, the itinerary including
a total of 80 stops at points in all sec
tons of Georgia.
Equipped with all the apparatus of a
model farm dairy and accompanied by
expert dairymen, including DR.. c. M.
Morgan, dairy agent of the Southern rail-
way, and Prof j. William Hart, dairy
representative jointly of the government
and State Agricultural college, the tour
of the car affords splendid opportunity
for Georgia. farmers to secure practical
and valuable information concerning
dairying, live stock raising, and all prob
lens pertaining to the economical produc-
ton of milk, cream and butter.
CAR rs LECTURE ROOM.
To give point and interest to the lee
lures, the car is equipped with a stere-
opticon and numerous slides covering ev-
cry phase of the live stock industry and
its especial problems, and seats are pro-
vided in the car to acconimodate a large
crowd comfortably. On the walls of the
car are large photographs of the best
dairy animals, and instruction charts on
feeding. how to handle milk. and how to
make larger profits from dairy prod
ucts.
One feature of the work which at

tracted the widest interest in the tour
of the car through Virginia, South and
North Carolina, and Tennessee, is the
free testing of milk samples brought to
the car, and Georgians are also invited
to take advantage of these tests.
From results of the test, the owner of
a COW may know the worth of the animal
as milk producer, and advice will be
given which will be helpful in each in
dividual case.
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
Among the topics discussed by the ex-
perts are feeding, breeding and manage
ment Of cows, eradication of cattle ticks,
the handling and shipping of milk the
manufacture of butter, and the construc-
ton of silos and ia nm buildings. The
car is provided with all the instruments
and vessels necessary to the sanitary
dairy, and during the demonstrations
every detail of the dairy, from milking to
shipping, is explained. Hours could be
interestingly spent inspecting the exhibits
in the car Aside from the lectures and
demonstrations, valuable literature on
dairying will be distributed. all questions
from individuals answered and every as
sistance given to all contemplating start
ing a dairy.
The dairy and live stock industry is
recognized as offering untold opportu-
mites for profitable development in the
southeast and authorities agree that this
is especially true in Georgia.
1t is in the hope of bringing about
larger profits and Increased prosperity
for southern dairymenr through bet
ter knowledge of their problems and
how to met them, that the Southern
Railway is running thsudairy car over
it's entire system at its own expense.
In dong this the railway will not be
directly benefited but Hopes to eventu-
ally share in the prosperity that results
when the dairy industry reaches its, full
development in the south.

Japanese Like Sake, Distilled Product
Of a Native Plant.
Many believe hat tea Is the great
national drink Of the Japanese. This
impression is not sustained by the
facts, as those who have spent any
time In Japan well know.
Tea is drunk widely in the homes of
the people of japan, but tea Is by no
means a national beverage. Coffee in
that land until quite recently was un-
known. Its introduction Is due to
American travellers and tourists. 1t
now can be had in all the good hotels.

travellers from the occident were to be
considered coffee must be served. Even
at that, however, the coffee is not al
ways good, and to expect 1t outside of
the well p~atronized hotels, where for
eigners gather, would mean a disap-
pointment.
Sake is the great national drink OF
the japanese. This is the distilled
product Of one of the native plants,
and 1t forms a pretty stiff drink for
those unaccustomed to 1t. Sake is
served in all the tearooms and not in
barrooms, where distilled liquors in
this country usually are obtained.

ATTRACT TRADE.
BY Having Neat Stores and Kidding
Yourself Of idlers.

BY Having Neat Stores and Kidding
Yourself Of idlers.
1t is a general rule that people would
rather trade at an attractive place than
an unattractive one, at a clean place
than a dirty one, at a place where they
are treated ~courteously and made to
feel at home rather than one where
they are neglected and stared at by
loafers.
Many children, most women and
some men do not feel comfortable in
going into a store where a miscel-
laneous bunch Of idlers is collected.
LOAFERS DRIVE AWAY DOLLARS.
A merchant may feel 1t discourteous
to ask men Of this stamp to stay away,
but to allow them to remain is a great
er discourtesy to his customers. A
store is not a club or a hotel.
A tactful business man can rid his
place of idlers without giving ~offense.
There are ways of doing these things.
This very question of a few loafers
that congregate where they are a
nuisance is a sore spot In many vii
lagos. The way to deal with a thing
Of that sort is the same way that Is
necessary to GET RID OF GRUM-
BLERS AND KNOCKERS, and that
is to move things, get up an optimistic
spirit, show that you mean business
and make the loafers. the grumblers
and knockers ashamed of themselves.
Then If they have not the decency to
get out of the way go at them good
naturally, but vigorously and without
gloves. Go at them because It is right
and necessary to do so. Handled In
the proper spirit and without III tenn
per, the whole community will ap-
plaud 1t, and even the loafers, the
grumblers and the knockers will them
selves have a secret admiration for the
chap who has the manhood to tell them
the truth.
Make the store tidy and presentable.
CLEAN UP, and clean up the loafers
along with other things that do not
belong.

PROPER CARE OF HORSES

got up and walked several miles to a
hospital.
He could not keep the secret that he
had not been executed. and word soon
reached those who had been charged
with his execution. Fearing that they
would be blamed for neglect Of duty,
they proposed to shoot him again, but
before they could agree upon this
course the news of the strange case
reached the governor OF the province.
He had been on the bench, and the
only thing In the world he respected

Therefore those who had been ordered

One evening as Signor Bustamente
was returning from a visit to the Her
rera hacienda he heard a voice from
bushes beside the road ordering him
to halt. He stopped. and a man step

The ghost raised a rife and shot his
enemy dead.
When Mendoza appeared at the Her.

had become of him. He told the story
Of his execution and that he had exc

about. His visit was brief, and no one

TN the days when Mexico was in
chronic state Of revolution 81
gnor Herrero lived on his hacien'
da, doing his best to avoid being
entangled in any Of the various strifes
that succeeded one another for the
possession Of the government, for to
be on the wrong side meant death.
Dona Marina, Herrera's eldest daugh'
ter, was courted by Signor Juan Busta-
mente, a neighboring hacienda owner
who had done a great deal to establish
the government then in power.
But Dona Marina loved Philippe
Mendoza, the son Of a neighboring
planter. Urged to give him up for
Bustamente, through fear she consent
ed, but not for long. She confessed to
Bustamente her love for Mendoza and
begged him to release her. He did so
at once, with many expressions of
grief and wishes for her happiness.
By this course Marina turned what
had been feared for her father against
her lover. Bustamente. thinking that
II he got Mendoza out Of the way
Marina might yet become his wife,
secretly accused his rival Of plotting
with one who was known to be TO
menting a new revolution. Mendoza
was arrested and taken no one knew
where.
AS soon as the news Of the arrest
reached the Herreras, not suspecting
Bustamente. Marina implored him to
use his influence with the president In
behalf CT her lover. He promised to do
so and set on at once to the capital
ostensibly for the purpose. He knew
very well that Mendoza would have
been executed before his arrival, for
he had so arranged 1t.
There Is a law in Mexico that one
executed shall be left where he falls
till friends or relatives come and take
away the body for burial. But at Men
doza's execution there was no one to

Slow In a west of smoldering pa~geantries.

Aloof and silent brood the ancient hills:

But our unsated craving never stills.

To their unquestioning stiffness shall he

Their broad tranquility his soul infold,
