~ on ct HE ranch down the river. The
results referred 10 were IN the bssuee
Of ten beef steers which hsd been driven
IN for Mr.. Best, the butcher. The
steers were fine looking fellows froa
the beef mans point of view, and would
show up fsvorably by the side Of the
hsst specimsns froa the corn fed sec

The significant feature of the bunch
ives the fact that they he'd been fatten-
I'd on carrots instead Of corn or other
kinds of grain, and the experiment
with Mr.. Ross, has been the feeding Of
carrots ss . beef fattening ration. The
experiment has put the carrots into the
front rank as q cattle fattener in
more ways than one. In one way, be-
cause of the fattening qualities of the
carrots, and in another way, and possi-
bly, of greater importance, by reason of
the prolific character of the carrots,
making the results from the per acre
standpoint almost unbelievable.
The steers were weighed on Thanks
giving day at an average Of sl4 pounds
each. They weighed out yesterday at
an average Of 1, l55 pounds each. show
ing a net gain of PAL pounds each. For
a month or so they were given an ex-
elusive diet of hay. but for the past 80
days the hay has been substituted in q
large measure by the carrots, just
enough hay being given them to break
the monotony. as it were. They were
fed an average of ten pounds of carrots
every day. and Mr.. Ross says that he
could see them taking ON flesh every day
on the carrot diet. One steer two and
half years old, tipped the beam at
l, 325 pounds and was a dandy.
However, the significant feature to
us of the experiment was the fact that
the carrots that furnished the feed for
twenty -four head of cattle for ninety
days were grown on quarter Of an
acre Of ground. Whether he has some
of the carrots from the quarter of an
acre left. Mr. Ross did not say. but even
if he has not, this is remarkable re-
cord for quarter Of an acre Of ground
as can be seen by little figuring.
Taking the ten head with al average
increase of 241 pounds. we have a total
gain of 5,7s4 pounds of beef, which at
Z cents per pound, the price Mr.. Ross
received for the bunch yesterday, we
have s4o4 IS from a quarter Of an acre
of carrots. Multiply this by four and
we have 81, e1s 50 per acre Taking out

CITY NEWS

The Christmas school entertainment
given last week is described as one Of
the most delightful ever given in the
Auditorium.
Rev. Fl. S. Springer occupied the
pulpit of the Baptist church last Sum
day morning and evening, preaching
interesting sermons to good congrega-
tions.
Rev. R. l.. Bonsteel is expected
home today or tomorrow from a
weeks visit in Savannah and other
points in Georgia, and will hold the
regular services at the Baptist church.
| Word comes from st. Petersburg,
Fla, that Mrs. F. S. Cone died at her
home in that city on Wednesday last,
Dec. 22nd, at 9:15 a. M, after an sill
ness of some seven months, during
which time she was confined to her
bed. Mrs. Cone was 81 years of age.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cone lived in Crescent
City upwards of 80 years, and Mrs.
Cone will be kindly remembered by all
our people as good neighbor and a
devout Christian woman. The family
left here some two or three years age,
! since which time they have been liv-
ing in st. Petersburg. Sympathy for
the bereaved husband and daughter
will be universal.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. Owen of Frank
lin, Tenn, are here spending the holi-
day season as guests Of Miss Bessie
A. Williams and seem to be enjoying
themselves. This is Mr.. Owens first
visit to Florida and he likes it. Mrs.

MANNERS IN JAPAN.

Eat It In Public.

Eat 1t In Public.
One day rs | was going along the
street in a japanese town saw a
candy man sitting on "a stool beside
his cart faslioning delicacies with his
two flying thumbs. Taking ball of
candy mixture, he would give it a few
pinches, a twist, dab on a red spot,
and there would be a fish. Taking up
another ball ahe would give it few
twists, and IS would have radish.
Half dozen of these he would put
into thumb made candy plate the
size of chocolate wrapper and sell
for half a cent.
Buying plate of tiny delicacies,
gave it TO girl, expecting to see her
down it in good old American fashion,
but instead Of falling on it greedily
she made a courtly Dow and tore down
the street as fast as her wooden shoes
would let her. | looked after her in
astonishment, thinking that this upset
every child theory had, and deter
mined to try it again. So l waited un-
til the two flying thumbs had nodded
another delicacy and prolfered this to
second child. Down the street she

ing heavily. | found her sitting on
the floor eating the sirupy fish and
candy radishes with many delighted
sucks and appreciative grunts. Then

on the Street, but under her fathers

to dispose of the sweets with all the
sustatory gurslings that her delighted
soul wished-Homer Croy in Leslies.

The mother replied, You will not
give him back to me-"
Then" said the crocodile, by our
agreement shall keep him, for if you
have told the truth am not going to
give him back, and if it is lie l have
also Won"
But the mother said, If | told you

A FURRED TONGUE.
It May Mean Wrecked Nerves and Not
Dsordered Stomach.

Disordered Stomach.
Il suppose that there is no more in
eradicable idea in the mind of the
doctor than that the furred tongue is
essentially an indication of deranged
stomach" writes Sir James Goodhart
consulting physician to Guys hospital
London. in the London Lancet. Yet,
according to Sir James, it is by NO
means always so. And he goes on to
prove it by cases in his own extensive
practice.
One of these was of man in very
responsible position, a leader Of men,
to whom he had to give orders that
had to be obeyed and from whom he
had to hear much grumbling; very
hard worker and the fastest talker |
have ever struck" full of energy and
playing every ounce of it. He was in
splendid health, but suffered from a
furred tongue and a bad taste in the
mouth. In his case these were not
due to the stomach at all, but to dis,
ordered state of nerve control.
Nervous fears and nervous tastes
are common enough, and they deserve
special thought" says Sir James.
He believes that man is kept sweet
and wholesome largely by nervous
control, and when he loses this control
the parts become fevered, the mu
cous membrane dry, the nerves irri
tated, and taste is perverted" The
men so affected are those who are

Belgians in trenches sixty yards away
on the opposite side. The Germans
have the advantage of having ruined
houses about their position. while the
Belgian trenches have clear space
in their rear
Tonight the correspondent dined with
a Belgian officer looking like an Amert-
can college youth. who carried orders
from headquarters to the Dixmude
trenches. He described graphically the
Indianlike tactics he had to adopt even
to gain the trenches on the darkest
nights. Once there, he said, he felt
safer than the villagers in the rear,
who were exposed to the German ar
tillery fire.
Just to remind the party that they
were not out of danger. the Germans
dropped five shells. one of which ex-
ploded over the railroad station In
Furnes just as the automobile rega1ned
the town. These shells were fired from
a heavy howitzer mounted on motor
car, which was run up close to Dix
nude and within easy reach of Furnes.
BY these motor car guns and armored
trains the Germans have placed almost
every foot of West Flanders under ar
tillery fire.
