Washington. That the climate of
South Carolina and Georgia was once
almost tropical is one Of the interest.
ing conclusions announced by experts
of the geological survey after an, ex.
haustive study of the flora of those
states. This vegetation grew during
upper c%rataceous and eocene time, or.
as biologists say, at least, several mil.
lion years ago.
A study Of this fora, which has been
preserved in fossil form in the rocks,
indicates also that shallow seas extend.
ed inland over 100 miles from the
present seaboard, that there was cor.
siderable elevation of the Piedmont
area to the west, that the river gradi.
ents were high and the streams nu-
merous and more or less torrential in
character and that there were swamps
along the lower courses Of the streams.
The report states that the fossil
plants indicate there was a mild
though not strictly tropical climate
without seasonal changes. There was
no evidence that frost occurred and
that the rainfall was abundant. Indi.
cations are, it is said, that in middle
eocene time the climate Of Georgia
was much warmer than during the up
per cretaceous epoch.

ALLOWING CALVES TO NURSE.
Main Objection Is That They Don't

Main Objection Is That They Don't
Take Al! Of Milk and Cow Drys Up.
AS Il rule, it is not a good practice
to permit calves to nurse. 1t is quite
common to let calves nurse two or
three times and then separate them
from their mothers and feed whole
milk three to four weeks and then
gradually change to skimmilk, says
Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is too expen-
sive to feed calves on whole milk, and,
further, skimmilk will develop a calf
so that at the end Of a year it will
look and be fully as good as m animal
raised on whole milk.
The main objection to calves sucking
dairy COWS is that they do not take
all Of the milk. therefore have a tend
ency to dry up the COW. If Il sufil-
Gent number of calves We're put upon
a COW to take all of the milk that she
produces and ut stated intervals, the
same as milking is done, the COW
would not be injured by the nursing.

To Prevent Milk Fever.

Dry the COW up six weeks before
calving and feed light mashes of bran
and flaXseed meal to keep the bowels
active. Make her run out daily, but
do not have her Oh rich pasture ut
calving time. AS calving approaches
reduce the bran and increase the flax
seed meal, and if there is the slightest
tendency to constipation dissolve a
few ounces of glauber salts in the
mash or drinking water once or twice
daily as found necessary to open the
bowels. Do not milk out clean for the
FIRST three or four days after calving.

BEDDING OUT FOR SHEEP.
II Is Superior to Close herdins System
Long In Use.

Long In Use.
AS a result Of experiments during
the past few years the department of
agriculture is now advocating the use
of the bedding out system Of herding
sheep on open ranges instead Of the
old close herding system which has
heretofore been in use.
This system gets its name from the
fact that the herdcr who attends the
band camps and beds his focks whcr-
eve the sheep find themselves at
nightfall. Under the old plan lie estab-
lished a fixed camp and bed ground
and drove the sheep back to the same
place each night.
From experience on the national for
est ranges last year the department
states that lambs from bedded out
bands We're five pounds heavier on an
average at the end of the season than
those which were trailed to and from
established bed grounds and that the
range can carry from 10 to % per CEN
more sheep than when SO much is
trampled out in travelling back and
forth. The disadvantages Of the old sys-
tenn, according TO the department, were
twofold, those to the forage and those
to the sheep. The forage suffered by
being trampled badly and being actual
ly destroyed at and near the bed
grounds; the sheep lost weight in going
to and from the camps. and in dry
weather suffered not a little from dust
and from crowding.

potato plants to he stripped bare by

potato plants to he stripped bare by
these pests.
Many lose half their crops simply be-
cause they neglect to spray in time.
Whatever foliage is gnawed by the po-
tatO beetle means so much less food
for the tubers Mt the roots. The starch
is made in the leaves of the potatoes;
consequently if these are destroyed
smaller yields result. Every farmer
who plants five Or six acres or more of
potatoes should own a special spraying
machine, which can be bought for from
$50 to $15.
Arsenical poisons should be applied
to the plants when the beetles are
young and III the soft stage, according
to advice from j. &. Milward, agricul-
tural experiment station, University of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Milward states that
paris green a be applied to advan-
tage with weak solutions of limewater
Or bordeaux mixture. Half strength
bordeaux mixture is made by adding
four pounds of blue vitriOl and five
pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water.
The weak solution Of bordeaux mix
ture used with the paris green prevents
arscnical poisoning Of the potato
plants and also retards injury from flea
beetles and grasshoppers.
Some farmers are deceived into
thinking that they have the potato
bugs under control when the large ones
disappear from the plants. However,
the large beetles merely go into the
ground, develop wings and return rs
mature insects in Il short time. At this
stage they are hard to control, which
makes it important to keep daily watch
for the Matching of new eggs.

not doing so will appear from the ex-
rcrience l am about to narrate. l shall
simply give the only case which l ac-
cOmpliShed.
After having succeeded with the low
er animals l naturally sought an op-
portunity to apply my process to man.
kind. l happened about that time to
fall in with Il lady who was DESTROYS
of marrying a man much younger than
herself. She was Fraulein Bishoff, for
Beutner, aged twenty. They We're cous-
ms and heirs to adjoining estates,
which would be much enhanced in
value if they could be united. Besides
this fact, Fraulein Bishoff seemed to
love the young man.
l told her that l had discovered a
serum by which I could keep her
young while Beutner was growing old.
1t would be Il long process, for it would
require twenty years for him to ar
rive at the same age as herself. Beut-
her. realizing that a match with his eld-
erly cousin would be to his interest,
would have gladly married her IL she
had been Of a suitable age for him.
The fraulein asked me to propose my
plan to him, which l did, and he
agreed to marry her. trusting to me to
keep her young till he had caught up
with her.
| The marriage was delayed at my
suggestion till l felt assured that my
Serum was producing on the lady the
effect l expected. but as soon as l had
evidence of this the wedding took
place. The groom Immediately after
the ceremony set out to spend a good
deal Of time in travel, being DESTROYS
of getting rid of the interval which
separated him from his wife without
seeing her. He was gone five years,
but when he returned was still toe
young to make a companion of a wo.
man SO much older than himself. He
went away again for another five years
when he returned with the same re
suit.

Keeping Her Young BY : %::ss:S!

Meanwhile the lady, in the matter of
sge, stood stock still. l had no fear
that l might not keep her from grow
ing older, but there was one trouble
in the way that I had not thought of
In h beginning. A man Of forty is
not likely, to be satisfied with a wo-
man Of forty. He prefers a young
girl.
The matter between Herr Beut-
ner and his wife went on very much
in the same way till he was thirty-nine
years old; then he wrote her from
South Africa that he had become in
terested in diamond mining there and
was growing rich. He in time wrote
that he was tired of a nomadic life
and on the day he was forty would re-
turn to her and settle down. 90
Feeling responsible for the relative
conditions existing between these two
persons, l viewed the approach of their
real nuptials with solicitude, fearing
something might occur to mar the re-
suit. The lady who had waited twen-
ty years for a husband was also get
ting a trifle anxious. l did what I
could to encourage her. but she seemed
to have a presentment that what she
had been hoping for would not be
realized.
Three months before the time set for
the return of her husband she had
got herself into such a state of worry
that l found my serum was not acting
properly. l told her hat If she did
not throw off her dependency we
should have a bad failure. This had a
counter effect from what l had ex-
pected. 1t frightened her, and she lost
control of herself. The result was a
hysterical condition, which rendered
my %hypodermic injection absolutely in
effective.
Within a week from a woman OF
forty she had become one of sixty,
and, not being used to the presence OF
the. youth destroying animalculae in
her system. she had d~eteriorated far
more than she would have done under
ordinary circumstances. Indeed, she
was shriveled far beyond her years.
Then came the most distressing fea.
ture in the affair. Herr Beutner ar.
rived suddenly, full of anticipation OF
settling down with a companionabld
woman as we'll preserved as himself
and stumbled into the very room
where she was. Seeing an old crone,
he asked her where he would find his
wife. The poor woman, realizing the
situation, pointed to a room across the
hall and as soon as he had left hel
locked the door. She never saw him
again.
AS for my discovery, I have kept II
a secret all my life, as I kept it .fol
those twenty years that I treated Fra,
Beutner.
Had l proceeded with my expert
ments perhaps l would have achieved
far O wonderful results than in lthi.
! case, but l preferred not to do so.

GERMANY'S READINESS.

Quiekness With Which Army Worked
Astonished World.
Those who have doubted Germany's
readiness for war will receive a lasting
lesson. The quietness and lack of any
trace Of excitement wherewith her
preparations were completed within
so short a time astonished even those
who for years have watched the per T.
lection of her organization. s.
1t was commonly expected by the in
experienced that mobilization orders
would be issued without delay, but
mobilization, saving for calling lin re-
cruits, vas totally unnecessary until
the last moment. Everything. else had
been made ready first. Orders to. rail"
way superintendents; printed afresh
year after year as Germany's railway
net was developed, were. issued quietly.
All persons under obligations to furnish
the army with fodder have their in
structions. Each reservist has his milf
tary pass, which shows where he is to
report directly great red placards APP
pear. Every regular soldier always has
known to what headquarters he is to
report; every sergeant to what station
and at what hour. he is to take his
men and where they are to be moved.
The Imperial bank and financial au-
thorities took, n by one, steps ar.
ranged in advance for the first suspen-
sion of full gold payments by a grad
ual reduction of from so to 10 per cent,
then closing all settlement dealings in
German imperial loans, which prevent
other countries from suddenly taking
advantage of the need of German
banks and hold up the market to some
extent. .
The municipal authorities had receiv-
ed prepared instructions to be ready
to store foodstuffs. Only since all Of
these myriad and other prepared in.
structions have been issued and their
receipt acknowledged does Germany
call up her reservists. That is why she
was able to concentrate 10000 600 men
on two frontiers inside Of fifty-eight
hours. Her preparations were so CON-
plete she could afford to wait for this
costly step until the last minute, while
her neighbors, owing to their less per.
feet organization, had to begin calling
in their reserves to save time even be-
fore the preparations were complete
for their reception In their respective
corps. 49,.
