stated that now 1t was impossible for the
larger types OF battleships to come into

and considerably impair the efficiency of
the navy. This matter will also be re-
ferred to the Board OF Trade.
The organization also went on record
as favoring the Willis-Johnson Commu-
nifty Forum bill and the purchase OF the
Patterson tract. A resolution was passed
to request the District Commissioners TO
compel the street railway companies to

Earliest School Books.

Among the recent discoveries in the archaeological excavations in ancient Babylonia are some stone tablets be heved to have been used as school books in the first regular school ever held in the world. They have been added to the collection of the Un:. versity of Pennsylvania.
 These prehistoric textbooks have marks proving that they were used in a school conducted in temple in Nip pur more than 23OO years B. c. This school is known to have been in ex, istence at least one thousand years and no records have yet been found to indicate the existence of any pre- ceding it. The tablets contain notes upon several sciences, evidently made upon the stone surface by a stylus Several of them contain two forms of characters, indicating that the pupils attempted to copy the work of the teacheE.

Speaking of Bayonets.

How does the soldier of today pro nounce the word bayonet? Apparently much as his officer does. But when Tommy Atkins was Jack Ffrelock he called his ''arme blanche" ''bagonet" That was his own word, as "revally' was, and is, his version of "reveille"l According to undisproved tradition the bayonet was first improvised at mountain fight in Bayonne, when the Basques. short of ammunition, tied sickles to their muskets in rush upon the Spanish enemy. The French took up the word, and the other nations aft er them.-London Chronicle.

For Oilinq Shaftinqs.

There is danger in the oiling of shaftings. Even though the machinery is stopped, someone is likely to start it before the worker is through with his task. This element of danger is removed through the invention of an Oiler, which may be used while the worker stands on the floor, thus obvi- ating the necessity of going among running belts, puIleys and shafts, pos sibly on a rickety ladder

Horse Not Really Intelligent.

Horses are generally given credit for great deal more intelligence than they actually possess. Scientific tests show that in wisdom such as human beings display, horses are hopelessly outclassed by dogs, monkeys, and even by cats. The horse can be taught to do certain things just because he is too stupid to have ideas of his own. Like many human prize pupils, he can learn but cannot think.

Antiquity of the Safety Pin.

That the Hittites were in constant communication with other nations is shown by the fact that Egyptian scar abs and amulets, Phoenician pottery and Greek terra cotta figures are found in the tombs of different pc riods. Bronze daggers and jewelry are fairly common, and Woolley proudly showed me a safety pin three thou sand years old that would still work Christian Herald.

Machine chews Money.

There is a machine in the United States treasury which chews money, and when the old bills come in this machine takes good care that they are not in any condition to be used again. First, all the bills are made into piles, and these placed in packages. Then the bills are sliced, so that each one is in half pieces. Then the paper is ground up in the machine.

paigning for it. In Michigan 700
college men are going about in

vacation, students have been
speaking, canvassing, and distrib-
uting literature. The four col
leges in Montana have. furnished
prohibition workers for that state,
and in S. Dakota several teams
of college students are helping in
the campaign. An item of inter-

Farm Changes
For Boil WeeVil
REIMBURSEMENT Requires Careful Plan
ming To Be Safe
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
Cfafa NoIIe0a ne A1,;o,,I4,,.o

ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.
Any system of safe farming, under
boil weevil conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or, better still, TWEEN
ty acres of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements.
II the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety of hay and forage-pro-
ducing, crops can be grown successful
ly after oats, but it is important to
remember that the cultivation of le-
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meat needed for his family.
There is no reason why two to- six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm Graz
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can be hardened Off with a little corn
in the fall and very choice quality
of meat obtained.
A small flock Of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave sur
plus for sale. Probably no class of
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two COWS so that his family will be
supplied with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then ii he will keep a couple Of brood
mares and raise a colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide a garden. A half acre
OF land will produce all the vegetables
which family of six can possibly eat.
and ii proper rotation is established
and the garden we'll fortified and han
died, fresh vegetables may be had at
almost any season of the year. There
is probably no section which will pro-
duce a greater variety of vegetables
with greater ease than the southeast.
ern states, and yet the garden is neg
lected, because it's value is not appre-
ciated and its influence on the health
Of the family not understood.
After having accomplished the fore
going, the farmer should devote a
reasonable area Of his land to the
cultivation of cotton, as his main
money crop. If this plan is followed,
system of safe farming will have
been estab lished throughout the south.

Treating SOreIIead
Or Chicken POx

VIM. S. DILTs, Poultry Instructor, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
The disease commonly known as
Sore Head or Chicken Pox is very
prevalent in Georgia. 1t first appears
as small, white pimples on the face,
wattles or comb of the bird. These
pimples grow in size and later a dark.
hard scab forms. In extreme cases,
the unfeathered portions of the head
are entirely covered and the eyes are
nearly closed The disease may spread
to other portions of the body.
The whitish pimples should be paint
ed with tincture of iodine and creased
with carbolated vaseline. If the scabs
are dry, they should be removed and
burned.
The following treatment can be used
for building up the system, thus in
creasing resistance to the disease.
For three days feed the chickens a
moist mash each day containing one
third teaspoonful epson salts for ev-
cry fowl in the flock. For the three
days following, feed moist mash con-
tanning one-third teaspoonful sulphur
for every fowl in the flock. This treat
ment can then be repeated in this or
der as long as thought desirable.

EVEN PENNSYLVANIA

That supposedly impregnable
stronghold of liquordom, the state
Of Pennsylvania, is, like every
other state of the Union, giving
way before advancing prohibition
sentiment. Five years ago it had
two dry counties; today it has
eleven. In 1911 there was ono.
saloon for every 681 persons to
day there is one for every 73z.
In 1911 there were about 700
square miles of dry territory; to-
day there are 1880. In 1911,
6O,OO0 people of the state lived
i'll no-license territory; TODAY
there are 100000, nearly one
fifth of the total population. 1t
is stated that of the 200 saloons
in Philadelphia, 200 are ON the
market. One broker advertises
that he has 100 for sale.-W. C.

Advantages of Fall Flowing

John r. Fain, Prof. OF Agronomy, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Stiff lands of Georgia ought to be
plowed in the fall, the earlier the bet
ter, so that they will get the advan-
tage of the freezing and thawing
through the year 1t is better to leave
the land rough so as to expose as
much of it as possible to the elements.
For this reason blowing is much bet,
ter than disking.
The fall is the best time to pillow
deep, for at cat time the subsoil is
dry and does pt clod. 1t is also the
time to subson for the same reason.
