CORN CLUB
HAS FINE RECORD
(Snec,al Dispatch TO The Journal.)

DALTON, Ca, Oct 15.-County
School superintendent ]. c. Sapp has
given out some interesting information
about the years work of the Whitfield
County Boys Corn club.
His figures show that the thirty
members who competed for the prizes
at the fair last week grew 2,O77.5, at
a profit Of $1,521.15 on thirty acres of
ground He figures the profit after
deducting the total expense and igur-
ing the boys time at 10 cents per hour.
The average yield per acre, GA bush
els, is five times as large as the aver
age for Georgia last year.
kilograms of congratulation have
been received by the boys from the
State College of Agriculture.
The corn has been wei packed and
shipped to the State fair at Macon.

should be broken if it is at all feasible
to do so with a turning plow and har-
rcwed and disked until fine seed bed is
obtained. Then secure as much yard
manure, compost and litter as possible
and scatter over the ground and work
into the surface Of the soil Next put
on the lime and fertilizer with a formula
containing s per cent of phosphorus, 3
per cent of organic nitrogen and per
cent of potash. Use at least 500 to 500
pounds of this mixture when seeding
the grass. Sow at least twenty pounds
of recleaned seed per acre. Test it be-
tween plotting papers to determine its
viability, or only buy it under guar
antee as to its terminating quality,
for blue grass is often non-viable, and
this accounts in many instances for a
failure to secure a stand.
1t looks like quite an undertaking to
perform all this work to secure a stand
of grass, but you are working with a
delicate, sensitive variety of grass. yet
it is the most satisfactory of all grasses
available for lawns under those condi-
tions adapted to it. If you attempt to
grow it without preparing and fertiliz-
ing the land properly you are wasting
your energy. The only hope of succeed
ing with it is to follow the sugges-
lions which have been made. Names
of various other grasses might be sug-
gested which could be used to more or
less advantage for lawn purposes, but
we do not think there is anything COM
pares with blue grass for shaded stu
atoms or with Bermuda for open lawns.
Personally. we would prefer to adhere
to Bermuda grass in this climate and
SOW some of the perennial rye grasses
on it early in the fall with the hope
of having it green through the winter.
OF course, you might have to sacrifice
part of your shade and trim your trees
up high to let enough sunlight in to
maintain a good sod of Bermuda, but
it will stand more rough treatment and
form a thicker, denser turf in most
locations in Georgia than anything with
which we are acquainted 1t is also
easier to establish and maintain and
these are material advantages.
TREATMENT FOR SICK SOW.
w. B. D., Westminster. s. c.. writes:
have a SOW which has something like
kidney worms, or she is down with her
back. She cannot get up or walk. She
has nice lot of pigs about six or eight
weeks old. 1 will appreciate any in
formation as to what to do for her.
The trouble to which you refer may
be due to some injury sustained during
parturition, or the paralysis may be
confused with what is really rheuma-
tism, due to the animals taking cold.
This trouble is not uncommon especial
ly in older animals. 1t is sometimes
caused by constipation and this often
accompanies parturition. Suppose you
try a decided physic, ten to twenty
grains of calomel in a small piece of
pork, or two ounces of castor oil with
two drops of croton oil well mixed. If
the case is persistent and the animal
valuable, then potassium iodide should
be given in ten-grain doses three times
daily, either as drench or in the drink.

sion to the chimney that will raise its
top above the ridge.
In a construction, such as the large
chimney of the figure, SCOT pockets
should be made at the bottom Of each
fue to facilitate the removal OF SCOT
which falls to the bottom. The clean
out doors giving entrance to the SCOT
pockets should be tight and free from
air leaks. The smoke-pipe from the
furnace should not extend into the
fue beyond its inner surface, because
it will reduce the area OF the flue and
thus retard the draft. The space
around the smoke-pipe where it enters
the chimney should be made tight with
mortar or stove putty. It should be
borne in mind that the effect Of a good
chimney is continuous in its action and
that care taken in its construction will
be Of benefit as long as the chimney

A Cunnjnu Little Bird.


A naturalist had been searching for
the eggs Of the little dunlin in Siberia
and came upon a nest. The bird quiet
~ slipped of and began to walk
around the man, now and then pecking
on the ground, as If feeding, seldom
going more than six feet from him and
often approaching within eighteen
inches. The tameness Of the bird was
almost ludicrous. She seemed SO ex-
tremely tame that the man almost
thought for the moment that he could
catch her, and, getting IN all tours, he
crept quietly toward her. As soon as
he began to move from the nest the
birds manner entirely changed. She
shufaed along the ground as if lame.
She dropped her wings, as if unable to
fly, and occasionally rested on her
breast with dropping wings, as If dy-
ing. Finally when she eluded him and
darted into the underground he found
that he had lost the location Of the
nest.

Artist and Counterfeiter.

There used to be an old German
counterfeiter in this country who was
a vcritable wonder with the brush and
pen. This man literally painted pic.
lures Of twenty dollar notes which
were works Of art. He used no tools
except his pens and brushes, and it
took him a week to do the portrait of
a banknote. He figured that his
handicap was worth about So a day
and worked under the idea that the
world owned him Il fair living and
should not object if his talent led him
toward portrait painting, with twenty
dollar bills for models. Even Jail
terms failed to impress him seriously
with his wrongdoing. A collector of
curios once offered $500 for M Of his
specimens Of bill portraiture, and the
value Of some others was said to be
even greater. so marvellous was the
dei!cacy of his brush work.
