COMMISSION CONSIDERS
MATTER OF new TRAIN
Attorney Joe HiII Hall is So
Notified

Once more the state railroad com
mission has before it for considera-
ton the matter of the ordering of an
extra train on the Central between
Montgomery and Smithville to conne,,
with the early morning train north
through Americas to Macon
1t will be recalled that commission
has already considered this matter, the
former decision having been an un-
favorable one. Since the rendering OF
the unfavorable decision the matter
has again been placed before the COM
mission, with stronger endorsements
than ever, and it is the hope of
many people here as " ell as the resi-
dents along that division of the Cen
trail affected that the action of the COM
mission this time will be favorable.

BUILDING WORK IS
GOING ON in LEESBURG
Large Number of Structures
Being Built

Leesburg, Ga, March 31.-One of the
busiest, if not the busiest, building
season in the history of Leesburg has
just opened up and the sound of the
builders hammer is heard every day
here.
In the western part of the city work
has already commenced upon seven
dwelling houses, which will be built
within the radius of one block, COM
pletely building up the vacant space
between the Galloway Hotel and the
new bungalow of Mr.. Duncan Forces
ter.
In addition to these residences, there
will be others that will likely go IN
in this same part of the town before
the summer has ended. Work will
soon commence on the new ginning
plant, also, which will be rushed to
completion in time for the handling OF
the crop of cotton here next fall.
All of this improvement work TAX
en- together indicates a more rapid
solid and conservative growth herr
than has been experienced in many
years, though Leesburg has rapidly
been forging to the front for many
years.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Important TO Everyone.

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do
a tremendous amount of work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by iltering the blood.
During the winter months especially
when we live an indoor life, the kid
neys should receive some assistance
when needed as we take less exercise,
drink less water and often eat mors
rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the
kidneys to do more work than Nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble
such as lame back, inability to hold
urine, smarting or burning, brickdust
or sediment, sallow complexion, rheu-
matism, may be weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to
avoid more serious trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most heal
ing influence. An ideal herbal COM
pound that has had most success as
a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root.

CARE OF CHICKS FROM
MATCHING TO WEAVING

+ necessity control the breeding birds
Steady improvement is never the re-
suit of hit-or-miss methods.
During the brooding period one
learns positively whether his syste. n
of selecting and managing the breed
ers and his operation of the incubator
are right or wrong. The results Of
past errors will be plainly manifested
in heavy mortality or unthrifty condi-
ton of the chickens. Beginners fire.
quently make the mistake of blaming
their breeders, or possibly their meth
cd of feeding, for troubles the foun,
dations of which were laid weeks be-
fore.
Good chicks maye be grown by either
natural or artificial methods of brood
ing. One will do well to adopt the plan
which best suits his special conditions.
/ But regardless of the particular meth
90 of brooding the chicks, there are
certain points which should be observ.
| ed, Success in either case depends
upon these factors; vigor, which is i'll
herited; protection, as from enemies.
accidents, weather; comfort, as suffi-
Gent room, freedom from vermin; food
in sufficient quantity and of the right
kind.
The first point has been discussed.
Protection may be given by providing
rat and cat-proof coops and runs, by
driving away hawks and crows. b.
making the quarters weather-tight and
snug. Chicks are never comfortable
when kept in cramped, crowded quar-
tiers. Both coops and yards should
be roomy. Ventilation must be pro-
vided; also protection from the hot
rays of the sun. A common mistake Is
to put too many chicks into one coop.
Lice and mites are comfort destroyers
and must be fought persistently aud
.Eersistcntly. The body lice may be vir-
,dallr eradicated by busting the chick,
occasionally with any good insect pow
der or powdered lice killer. Mites,
which are blood suckers, and there
fore particularly destructive, must be
treated differently. They do not live
on the bodies of the birds, but remain
in cracks and crevices in breeders OF
coops, coming out merely to fill them
selves with blood usually at night.
Spraying or painting with a CONNER
cial liquid lice killer, or kerosene in
which napthalene fakes have been ris-
solved, will speedily kill or drive them
away.
Cleanliness is also very essential.
Chicks never do we'll in filthy quar-
tiers.
But, while all of the above points
are important, perhaps none is more So
tran proper feeding. A great part OF
the usual heavy mortality among baby
chicks is directly traceable to the use
of an unsuitable ration or improper
methods of feeding.
Little chicks require a variety of
food, in proper mechanical condition
and in liberal quantity. They must
have succulent greens, grains of va
rious kinds, bone and grit and animal
food. A ration which lacks any one Of
these will scarcely induce rapid and
even development.

Students of poultry husbandry gen.
orally agree that a very large proper
ton of the failures in poultry keeping
are due to the inability of the poultry
man to annually renew his flock. Fail
ure to raise a good crop of chickens
each season strikes right at the root
Ct the business, as the market poultry,
man must have chickens to sell and
the egg farmer must have pullets for
laying. If for any reason these can
not be grown, the business is bound TO
go down. And so, as a rule, we find
that the men who can rear chicks III
goodly numbers with low mortality are
most successful ard clean up thu
greatest profit.
Poultry growers should learn 10
raise chickens. No portion of their
work is of greater Importance The
suggestions incorporated in Prof
Stoneburn's current contribution Will
prove helpful to the amateur and ex-
perienced poultryman alike
The recently introduced Columbian
Plymouth Rock illustrated by Mr.. Ora
ham, bids fair to become one of the
most popular varieties of this grand
breed. This magnificent variety COM
bines beauty of plumage, white with
greenish-black markings. with great
utility value. When dressed, the car.
casses are most attractive, the skin
being rich in color and free from the
Objectionable pin feathers. The hens
are persistent layers of dark brown
eggs, are reliable settlers and careful
mothers. There is every indication
that there will soon be a heavy de-
mand for good Columbian Rocks, not
only from fanciers, but from CONNER
cial poultrymen as well,

As pointed out in a previous article
in this series, the life of the various
units in the poultry flock is relatively
short. Market chickens are killed 1t
any time between 10 weeks to months
of age. LAYERS are not usually re-
garded as being profitable for mora
than two laying seasons, and many
successful poultrymen market them a;
the end of their first laying year.
This necessitates renewing the flock
or the greater part Of it each year, and
unless this can be accomplished reg
ularly, the result is bound to be shown
in diminished profits and ultimate
failure. Such is the experience OF
poultrymen in all parts of the country
and may be regarded as a general rule
The exceptions are egg farmers who
do not attempt to grow their own pull
lets, but buy as many as they need
from successful growers, or in small
lots from farmers. The disadvantage
of this plan is two-fold. The supply "
good birds is uncertain and thely
quality varies In short, the pur-
chaser must usually take a chance
each year, save under exceptional con-
ditions, which do not usually obtain.
We must reiterate the statement that
the quality of the chicks is determined
very largely by the selection and treat
Inent of the breeding stock, and if one
desires to improve the general quality
of his flock year by year he must o.
