NOW is A GOOD
Time TO BEGIN.
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReSeYVen

the determination that you will build
something better for the next year.
Here is where you will make mistake.
In the first place, if your birds are not
properly housed they will not keep in
condition. no matter how or what you
feed, and thus will be unfit for breed
ers next spring. A nice, comfortable
building can be erected at a nominal
cost. Cut cot the ornamental parts and
make the structure roomy, draft proof.
water proof. Leave the south side open,
cover it with fine wire to admit plenty
of fresh air and sunshine, and your fowls
will do well.
The poultry business is still growing:
Get into it, but get started right, and
lay your plans along sensible lines.
You will surely come in for your share
of the profits later on.

Poultry Pointers.

Don't neglect to keep the pullets con-
tinually growing these hot days. They
should not be allowed to lag in this re-
spect for even a single day. especially
if you expect them to be on the job
when eggs take a jump within the next
month or two. Feed them well on good
grain, well balanced, and in addition
supply a good, dry mash and green food
in liberal quantities. Don't stand idly
by and neglect the pullets, and then con-
demn them when they do not lay. The
fault is yours. Feed for eggs and you
will get them; neglect your part, and
the pullets do likewise.

Kerosene is indeed a very valuable
article to have about the poultry plant.
1t is a simple remedy for many ills of
fowls such as keeping down lice; mix
ed with sweet oil it is excellent for colds;
water and kerosene will quickly cure
scaly legs and mixed with lard, and ap-
piled to the head of the little chicks, it
will kill head lice. These are, however,
only few of its many valuable qualities.

Water supply and sewage disposal are
most important factors in the comfort of
the farm dwelling. Where these permit,
however, it is desirable to have the farm
house stand in an open location facing
the southwest, so that sunlight may
enter all of the rooms during the day.
An abundance of ventilation is a neces-
sity, and in most sections of the country
the addition of sleeping porches will be
found well worth while while. The bed
rooms should be large enough to allow
each person at least 500 cubic feet of
space, and preferably 1 200. In the con-
struction of barns, it may be added, not
less than 600 cubic feet should be allow
ed for each ], 1,O00-pound animal.

was injured for life when she slipped
and fell on the waxed floor of the S.

such force as to fracture her nip.
Her injuries, she says, have COMPEL

accident, which prevented her from
supporting herself, which she was
able to do before she was hurt.
The suit was first brought in the
city court of Americas, but removed

THE FIFTH STRAIGHT
FROM HAWKINSVILLE
Thrasher Brothers Hitting Was the
Bright Feature of Fridays Game.

Dawson and Hawkinsville locked
horns again Friday afternoon in their
fifth game of the season. Davis was
opposed by Gheesling, with Harper
and Ham Reynolds doing the receiv-
ing. Gheesling had rotten support,
and was hit hard with men on bases,
while Davis, although little wild,
for the first time, could not be touch
ed in the pinches.
Kingery opened the first inning
by hitting to third. On bad throw
to first Kingery went to third. Brooks
famed L. Thrasher hit to deep
right for three bags, scoring Kingery.
Erwin walked. Ike Thrasher hit one
to the bushes in deep center for
complete circuit, sending his brother
and Erwin in ahead of him. The To-
Gals scored one each in the third,
fourth, seventh and eighth on clean
hitting mixed with some rotten base
ball by the visiting team, Ike Thrash
er again being a Jonah to the right
and center fielders, for they let his
high fly hit between them while they
pulled the comic section of the Con-
stitution's stunt.
The visitors scored two runs in the
third on a triple by Gheesling, follow
ed by a double by Askew, the latter
scoring when Thrashers throw from
right got through Erwin's legs. A
beautiful catch by Kingery, the hit
ting of Ike and Loke Thrasher and
the grabbing of the whole visiting
team, especially Reynolds, featured.

ENGINEERS WANT
LAW CHANGED
Damages for Accidents at the
Grade Crossings.

ATLANTA.-The Georgia branches
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers has launched a campaign
in the legislature to amend the pres
ent laws requiring engineers to slow
down and keep slowing when they
approach grade crossings.
They contend that they cannot
obey this law and make their sched-
ules. Therefore they disobey the law.
1t holds them civilly and criminally
liable for violation, and when they
are sued jointly with railroads on ac-
count of grade crossing accidents and
judgments are rendered against them
the railroads always pay their dam
ages.
But they contend that if a railroad
should become insolvent after such
a verdict was rendered then an en-
gineers whole savings of a lifetime
would be wiped out in the collection
of the damages.
Hence, they want the law brought
up to date, it having been enacted in
1873.
