SOLDIER BOYS
DOings Of Company D. In The
Military Camp At AnniS-
ton, Ala.

Admission. Ala, Aug. 3.-The or
ders of the day and social affairs"
have been so heavy that this is the
first opportunity that | have had to
write to the paper.
We are encamped some miles
from Admission. nice and lively city
of some $4,000 inhabitants. The
camp is located at the foothills Of
the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the
scenery ,from the camp is superb.
At one place on the grounds on a
clear day five mountain ranges may
be seen; the beautiful peak known as
"Blue Knob" is some six miles away
and may be seen most plainly, rising
gently from the surrounding range
These ranges give ideal facilities
for sham battles, and maneuYers.
Almost every morning a several mile
hike" is taken across the country,
which terminates in sham battle.
On Wednesday the problem was to
capture a hill from an imaginary
enemy, advancing battalion by bat
talon, one battalion advancing while
another covered its advance by a
rapid fire, concentrated on the hill,
The advancing battalion would then
halt and allow the covering battalion
to advance. This was continued un-
til the summit of the hill was
reached. The third battalion was
held as reserve. to cover the re-
treat of the former battalions in case
of defeat. When the summit was
gained. this battalion was rushed
forward to pursue the retreating
enemy. The maneuvers were skill
fully carried out. and the U. S. reg
ular officer in charge highly COM
mended Col. Henry and the reRi-
ment for their skill.

tainly "mopping up" and the 3rd is

Monday night. Proprietor Mitchell,

as can be.
After noticing all these things, If
he is a good feeder and easy to take
on flesh he will do to fit for the
shows.
This same description in selection
should be carefully used in selecting
the younger animals end also the old
and young in the show classes.
IT selecting enough to make what is
called herd, which usually consists
of boar and three sows over one
year old, also a boar and three sows
under one year old and the same
under six months old, try and have
them as uniform in size and type of
the different ages as you possibly can
for it is much in their favor to come
into the show ring in each class for
herds as uniform as possible. For
instance a herd, showing in the class
for under one year, would II they
were all as near year old as possible
and uniform in shape and size, stand
a much better chance of winning the
blue than it it was composed of
animals ranging from four months to
eleven and a half months of age.
This is also true in the older animals
as we'll as those showing in the class
of under six months.
IT man can select animals COM
pairing closely along these suggestions
and then properly fit them he can 60
out with considerable confidence
that he will get at least inside OF the
money in most instances and perhaps
get goodly share of the offerings. -

Poultry Department

try farmers prefer them to the later
birds. But if one is late in starting
the years. operations or has been I'M
fortunate during the fore part of the
season there is no reason to feel dis
heartened. There is still time to get
together flock OF pullets capable OF
rendering a good account of them
selves next winter A few sugges
tions as to methods of rearing and
managing these "last-chance' chicks
may not be out of place at this time.
First of all. the poultry man must
fully realize the fact that the birds
must make steady and continuous
growth. Nothing should be permitted
to interfere with their development
at any time from the day they hatch
until they reach maturity. Any con-
siderable setback during this critical
period will prove disastrous, as there
is no time to rectify mistakes.
The first consideration is to keep
the chicks continuously comfortable.
Divide them into comparatively small
fiocks and allow them ample room
both indoors and out. Overcrowding
is one of tn most common causes OF
chicks troubles. 1t brings on train
of evils which may easily be prevented
by simply avoiding the cause. The
common tendency of poultrymen,
especially those who are conducting
their operations on limited areas, is
to overcrowd. In some cases, because
of especially favorable conditions, no
bad results are noted for time; but
sooner or later they will appear.
high death rate and stuuted develop
ment are most generally observed,
while low vitality and weakened con-
stitution are common.

RAPE FOR PORK PRODUCTION.

High prices for all grain feeds and
the failure of clover on many farms
have caused large number of feed
ers of hogs to look for forage crops
which with light grain ration will
produce fairly rapid gains at moder-
ate cost. Investigations at the Ohio
Experiment Station have shown rape
to be one of the very best crops for

this use if clover is not available.
Six pigs, weighing 40 pounds each
at the beginning of the test, were
kept on slightly less than one-quarter
of an acre of rape for eleven weeks.
During this time the pigs received
825 pounds of mixture of nine parts,
by weight, of ground corn to one part
of tankage and gained 1863 pounds in
weight. Another plot, more fertile
than this one, yielded an even more
luxuriant growth of rape and showed
larger carrying capacity.
The rape from the better plot show
ed replacement value of over S4o
per acre when the gains produced
and concentrates consumed by pigs,
some receiving corn alone and some
receiving corn and tankage, on the
rape and by similar pigs fed corn and
tankage in dry lot we're compared.
In this calculation corn was valued
at 56 cents per bushel and tankage
(60 per cent crude protein) at S48

soreness of skin, particularly about
the ears, is occasionally developed.
This may be avoided to some extent
by keeping pigs from the rape while
very wet or if it occurs may be
relieved by the application of lard,
oil or other similar material.
Dwarf Essex rape is the variety best
suited for forage. 1t may be broad
casted or drilled solid at the rate of
five to seven pounds of seed per acre
or drilled in rows at the rate of three
to four pounds of seed per acre, at
any time from April LIST to July 18th.
Rape will do we'll in ordinary seasons

with a good seed bed in fertile, we'll
drained soil. On weedy land there
is an advantage in drilling in rows
far enough apart to permit cultiva-
ton; besides there is likely to be
less damage to the rape from trampl-
ing.
Under favorable conditions rape
should be ready for pasture in six to
eight weeks from time of seeding. 1t
will continue to growsuntil late fall.
1t may be pastured with a moderate
number of pigs continuously or may
be fed down rather closely and then
allowed to grow up again, which ever
plan is more convenient. -Duroc

SELECTING ANIMALS FOR SHOWS.

About the first of May, he who
intends to make a circuit of fairs
should have gone out among his
animals and made selections of the
best animals in his herd and of the
proper ages to fill the classes.
For instance it he wishes to show
in the class for Aged Bears, it will
require an animal two years old and
over Ifhis herd boar is not what he
considers good enough to stand a
reasonable chance to get inside the
money, or if he feels that even though
he is good enough he cannot afford to
put him in high enough flesh to show
to advantage, then look over his
yearling or yearlings. Ii he has several
he should not pick out any to tit ex-
cept the best ones and if he lacks
much in some particular point, such
as bad feet, sprawling toes or weak in
pasterns, it will be much against him
when he comes into the ring.
If these are all right and be stands
we'll on his feet and his toes are right,
look for the next weak place and see
if he has good back, not sagging at
all, in fact little arched and strong
with broad rib and loin without
being too dropping at the tail head
If he is all right in this respect
look next to see ii he has a good head
and a we'll set ear. The ear should
be not too large or too dropping,
rather medium in size and inclined
somewhat forward or even quite erect
with face broad and we'll dished,
yet not too "puggy.
Next look to the underline which
should be as near straight as possible
and not too much tucked up at the
flank and particularly notice the hind
legs and see that they are not cramp-

the department acknowledged that
there was no inspection. "'There is

cised the guano and said there was
no trace of guano to it save the
smell. He laid these also at the
door of the agricultural department.
He urged his hearers to support Mr..

He then said: Iwant to say a

was speaking of S. G. McLendon,
and covered the history of his case.
He told of the trick the Atlanta
Hardware Company had tried to
work by getting a monopoly on

and the final results of his being
kicked out. Mr.. Watson urged
the people to vote for Mr.. McLen-

offered for office.
The speaker then asked his hear
ers to support Judge Flynt, and af-
ter discussing several matters he
was followed by J. J. Brown.
1t was not known that there were
to be any other speakers than Mr..
Watson and when Mr.. Flynt began
people on the outside thought Mr..
Watson had commenced and began
to pack the courthouse, thus each
candidate had a good audience.
Mr.. Watson also advocated Sla-

T. e. WATSON SPEAKS IN Bull
LOCH COUNTY.

Statesboro, Ca, Aug. 9.-Before
an audience that filed every seat in
the courthouse, upstairs and down,
and packed the aisles to suffocation
ThOs. e. Watson filled his promised
appointment here Thursday. Mr..
Watson had been scheduled to
speak here on several occasions re-
Gently, but each time his coming
was postponed. 1t was announced
here Wednesday afternoon that he
would speak in the courthouse Fri
day and from the crowded house
news was evidently circulated all
over the county.
Mr.. Watson was preceded by J. J.
Flynt of Spaulding County, candi-
date for Railroad Commissioner,
who defended his candidacy and
held up that of his opponent to ridi-
Guile. Mr.. F1ynt said during his adj
dress that his opposition were MAX
ing but two charges against him and
one of them was the fact that he
had the support of Tom Watson,
and when he told his hearers that
he was glad to have the assistance
of this great man and true friend
tremendous round of applause tore
loose, demonstrating that Mr.. Wat
son still has many admirers in this
county and who were il the audi
ence to hear him.
Mr.. Watson followed Mr.. Flynt
without an introduction. This was
not necessary for he is probably
known by great majority of the
people Of this county. He began his
address by giving several definitions
of the word REFORM and covered
it's progress from the days of free
dom from England, saying if our
forefathers had not had reform
ideas we would not now be enjoying
the privileges we have.
He spoke in complimentary terms
of J. J. Brown, candidate for Com
missioner of Agriculture and urged
the farmers to support him, as he
was the true friend of the farmer
and would look after their interests.
He severely criticised the agricultu-
raj department during which he laid
at it's door the responsibility of
much Of the sickness and deaths,
saying it was caused from rotten
