MATCHING PARTRIDGES WITH
AN INCUBATOR.
WITH
BY Leroy Lucien Jones, Instructor IN
Poultry .Husbandry.

Ouestion-Can cartridges be raised
by the incubator process?
The man who has enjoyed hunting
partridges with gun may be sur
nr1sed to know that these birds have
been successfully Matched in an in
cubator. The small partridge eggs
seem to hatch under the same treat
ment usually given hen eggs. me
present difficulty is in raising the
tinv fellows after they are Matched,
for they require much more careful
handling and feeding than does the
little chick.
At present the game laws OF most
Of the states are such that cartridges
could not be reared and sold for food
on the open market, but II 1t is founo
that a partridge farm is a success,
and that they can be raised on large
scale. the laws will probably be
changed, so that 1t will not be neces-
sary to tramp the woods with gun
IN order to have partridge for dinner.

DR. MERRITT HARVESTED
A GOOD WHEAT CROP
Used Only Home Fertilizer,
Too

| That wheat can be grown success
fully' and profitably in Sumter county
has been fully demonstrated, and not
few of the progressive, live-at-home
farmers here raise enough wheat eacn
year to supply the needs of their ia
BILE, and secure thereby a very ex,
cellent quality of bread.
Dr. Thomas NJ Merritt, a successful
farmer here, has just threshed his
wheat crop of the current year, and
not only has an abundant supply for
home consumption in flour, but sur
plus to sell.
On twelve acres DR.. Merritt pro-
duced 312 bushels wheat, or an aver
age of rs bushels per acre. This
production is considerably above tlG
average in South Georgia, where a
yield of Is to 20 bushels wheat per
acre is considered very good, even
with favorable seasons.
DR.. Merritt planted the ordinary
blue stem" variety of wheat, seeding
his land on November 10th, and har-
vesting the grain in May. No CONNER
cial fertilizer was used, the crop be-
ing enriched only with cotton seed
and stable manure.

such a fund.

such a fund.
Mulhall showed the strain he has
been under and the committee toos
him from the stand for a half hour
and listened to testimony by j. P. Bird,
general manager of the manufacturers
association. Bird brought half car
load of books and papers with him to
! Washington and turned them over I.
the committee. He refused to say who
had contributed to the fund of the
council, but he will be examined at
length later and the committee will
undertake to make him tell what man
ufacturers contributed and what
amounts.
Along with the information that Bril-
had half carload of data to submit
the committee heard that F.. c..
Schwedtman, of st. Louis, SECRETARY
to the late James w. vanCleave, once
president of the National Association
OF Manufacturers, had about 10000
letters bearing on the associations
work. Schwedtman was in constan
communication with Mulhall according
to the latter's evidence.
Martin M. Mulhall brought the story
of his lobbying activities for the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
up to 1908 and testified about the work
of the association in promoting tariff
commission.
1.-THE association wanted Miles and
Schwedtman on it and wanted to con-
troll it themselves" Mulhall testified.
He did not explain who Miles was, bu.
Schwedtman was secretary to Presl-
dent VanCleave, of the association.
James A. Emory, counsel for the
manufacturers association wrote Mu-
hall on January 16, 1908:
Doubtless you know we had a tus-
sic on the floor of the house last Sat
urday, where an attempt was made by

bUNGLlNG FORGER WAS
HIS OWN ACClEEK
Escaped With Check aaf
Ran Away

A bungling attempt at forgery wzss
discovered here last Wednesday nfglrr,
just prior to the departure of the Cess--
trails excursion train to Tybee. whesn
stranger entered one of the drug
stores and, presenting check far
$40, asked that it be cashed. Bue n
was not.
The fellow had been lounging abuzaz
the store front during the affernuasz.,
and when the check, which bore tszs
name of the president of local hank,
was presented the forgery was omHne--
diately apparent, as the check waE
drawn upon another bank.
The druggist suggested calling ems
the banker over the phone to see tlaaS
the check was genuine, but the strana=-
er vigorously protested and, snatchiuE
the check from the druggist, he hurs-.
riedly left the store. The police malazzs
a diligent search, but failed to find bin
in the crowd. The attempted forgery
was described as bungIing Job fdxaE
would scarcely have deceived AIRS
one.

PRETTY GIRLS GAVE THE
GOVERNOR GOOD DUCKING

Atlanta, Ga, July ia bevy Of
pretty girls and winsome matrons il
the surf at st. Simon's combined forces
and gave the high governor of Georgia
a most complete ducking, according to
an amusing story which has just
found it's way back to Atlanta.
Most of them were friends and ac-
quaintances of the broad-shoulderel
and handsome Georgian who was
Jack" Slaton before he became Gov
ernor" Slaton-and who is still Jack
to his intimate friends-and when they
saw him plunge into the surf they all
focked around him.
First it was a water splashing bat
tie, and then one girl more daring
than the rest cried out, Lets duck the
governor!"
And duck him they did, merrily and
numerically, though it is doubtful #
he really resisted very strenuously
