They are exceedingly graceful in ap.

of Chinese geese-the Brown and the
White. They have medium-sized
heads, with large knob at base OF a
medium-lel.gth bill, and long, graceful

Chickens to Fatten,

Chickens of from three and one-half
to four and one-half pounds are the
most profitable to put in the fattening
crates. Two parts oats, one part buck
wheat and one part corn, all finely
ground, mixed with sufficient butter
milk to make batter, makes an ex-
cellent ration for crate feeding. With
suitable birds an increase of one
pound may be expected from three to
five pounds of meal fed.

SPECIFIC ACTION OF GERMS
Results OF Some Interesting Expert
ments That Were Made by Fa-
nous New York Physician.

In a lecture before the New York
Academy of Medicine, Doctor Rose
now gave an interesting and convinc-
ing account Of his experiments with
germs taken from diseased organs in
various parts of the body. He showed
that bacteria taken from ulcers OF
the stomach, appendices, infected gall
bladders and rheumatic joints, when
injected into animals in the majority
of instances caused infection and in
fammation in the localities CORE
spending to those from which they
had been taken. For example: Out
of SO animals injected with the germs
taken from cases of appendicitis, Il
developed appendicitis. Out of 70 ami
mails injected with the germs from
ulcer Of the stomach, SO developed
ulcer of the stomach, Al showed hem
orrhage. Out of 81 animals injected
with germs from inflamed gallbladders
70 developed gallbladder affection. Out
of II animals injected with germs de-
rived from cases Of rheumatism, AZ
developed Joint affections, 33 devel-
oped Inflammation of the lining Of the
heart, a frequent complication of rheu-
matism, 33 developed myocarditis, in
flammation of the heart muscle, and
10 developed pericarditis, infamma-
ton of the membrane surrounding the

and the next time the property Is

same Identical work must be done
over again and other big lawyers fees
paid--a system as foolish and unecon-

the other and back again and again

b. L. w. Thorpe writes an interesting
article in which he shows how hatch

a good way to shin such valuable eggs
is with a brooding hen sitting on
them. Following is story he tells
illustrating this point:

TO SOURCES OF RAW MA
TERIAL IF THE CLAY Is
PROPERLY PREPARED.

! That the mining OF domestic whit
burning clays is almost In Its infancy
and that America must look to the
South for it's supply of such ciays
are the conclusion of paper by
Joel II. watkins gsologist OF the
ment OF the Southern Railway Co..
presented at the last meeting Of the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
n<ers.
His paper dealt with the residual
china ciays OF North Carolina. Vir-
ginia and Georgia the sedimentary
paper clays OF South Carolina and
Georgia and the sedimentary ball
clays of Florida and Tennessee, with
a reference to the pocket deposits
OF white clay in Augusta County. Viz
ginia. the bauxxittc kaoiins OF Tennes-
see, Georgia and Alabama, and the
halloysite deposits OF Tennessee and
Georgia.
The mining of these clays has be-
come an important industry In the
Southern Appalachian States with the
increasing demand for them in the
manufacture of white ware and cream
