The Georgia Pecan.

The remarkable attanments and rich possibil-
tiles of the Georgia pecan industry are attracting
special attention from the federal Department of
Agriculture This is the one species of nut say the
Department experts who are studying pecan Guilt
walton, (which promises soon to surpass any other
grown in America" Concerning the food value of
pecan kernels, we told that they contain two
thirds much protein and from four to six times
much fat as round steak, and have at least four
times much fuel value. These properties, to-
gether with its delicious flavor, assure the pecan
an overwhelming popularity. Hence the substan-
ial inducement of the pecan orchard as an invest
ment. 1t mas been computed that ten acres of
these trees, matured and bearing well, would be
sufficient to support the average family. Certain
1t is that those who have planted pecan orchards
in Georgia and have tended them with skill re-
ceiving, or assured, royal returns. In the AL
bany district alone, upwards of fifty thousand
acres have been planted in paper-shel pecans. The
aggregate value OF such investments in Georgia
probably exceeds fifteen million dollars, and the
yearly output of the groves is becoming of the
peculiarly important sources of the States pros
perity.

WALKING NIGHTMARES

n N OST people suffer from Nightmares only
MI when asleep. But some have Nightmares
Az in waking moments. And waking night
mares, by all accounts even more unpleasant
than the sleeping kind.
Here is description of typical waking night
mare:
THE sufferer wakes from sleep to find himself
oppressed by some weight which confines him up
his back, and prevents his breathing, which be-
comes exceedingly laborious, that the lungs can
not be fully inflated by any effort he make.
1.-The sensation is the most painful that
be conceived. The person becomes every in
slant and more awake and conscious of his
situation
He makes violent efforts to move his limbs,
especially his arms, with view to throwing off
the incumbent weight, but muscle will obey
the impulse of the will. He groans aloud, If he
has strength to do it. Every effort he makes
seems to exhaust his little remaining vigor.
eff left to himself, he lies in this state generally
about minute two, when he RECEIVERS all at
once the power of volition.
In exceptional the paralysis of waking
nightmares has been known to persist for ten
minutes. even for fifteen minutes. Naturally, and
especially if it is of frequent it greatly
alarms its victim.
And, undoubtedly it represents an abnormal
nervous condition, but that usually is of no
seriousness. Strictly speaking, it is nothing more
than a prolongation after sleep of nightmare ex-
perienCed during sleep.
Often those afflicted by it know that they have
been troubled by extremely unpleasant dream
Just often, to be sure, they have no remem-

Liquor Forces Hardest Fight

IT. is doubtful if the liquor forces ever made a
harder fight against prohibition proposal than was
staged in the senate not that the whisky traffic in
washington is OF itself of such consequence, but
because, primarily, of legislation commits
congress to the principle of prohibition and, secondly,
the capital of the nation a city, is regarded a
sort Of model throughout the country.
81 The prohibitionists elated victories,
and already they have begun shout the
tutlonal amendment for nationwide prohibition If
they expect to put this through congress at
this session they mistaken. While majority of
Doth houses favor national prohibition, seems
improbable that the proposal will command the required
two-thirds vote in either house
The supreme decisions to the constitu-
tlonaHty of the Webb-Kenyon law and the West
virginia prohibition act far consequential
than the drying" of Washington. The decisions
practically deprive whisky ntoxcants of the
protecting wing of the federal government. The
commerce clause of the constitution means nothing
when its operation laws prohibit
ing the importation and possession of ntoxcants.

Pershing's Withdrawal.

The semi-oficial announcement that General
Pershings forces will be withdrawn from
Mexico has long been expected. Military judg-
ment as we'll general expediency counsels that
course. AS matters stand the troops in a
poor position strategcally. For service in border
protection, they will be much valuable on the
American side of the frontier. Months ago it be-
evident that the original design of the punt
tive expedition had been effected nearly as it
ever could be- Villa remains uncaptured and his
bandit forces are still a menace to Mexicos peace
if not to American security. But u e mere pres
ence of General Pershings column l., chihuahua
cannot mend that situation.
The expedition can be withdrawn with
good grace as we'll safety. The Ulited States
has made it plain that whenever occasion demands,
its troops will be sent across the MEXICAN border,

Cutting Down Force.

A number of men employed at the Granby mine at Solomon Basin have been laid off temporarily and have re- turned to town. The ore bunkers both on the wharf and at the mine are fill ed to overflowing and no advices have been received as to when steamer may be expected to take the ore away. The management has therefore decid- d to lay off a part of the crew until arrangements have been made by the company to transport the ore to the smelter at Anyox. The smelter is run by water power, and the extreme cold weather prevailing at Anyox of late has cut down the water supply until it became necessary to close down part of the plant, thus curtailing their output for the time, and necessitating the company advising a number Of their shippers that they will be unable to accept ore shipments until about the first of March.

The at.ache was known to have left Washington two months ag,, tut where he went remained profound secret both there and in New York City, where he is perhaps as we'll known. Passenger lists of incoming steamships were carefully scanned and passengers duly scrutinized, for the attaches movements were of con siderable interest. When he suddenly appeared in the usual official circles two days ago, just as if he had been out of town for day or two, many of his friends and acquaintances were more than impressed. I
 His mysterious mission and whence it carried him are not known to any one save the Ambassador, to whose staff he is attached. That he was out s:ae- of continental United States was we'll known, however, but how he re- turned, by way Of the port of New York, might we'll find a place in chapter of Alexandre Dumas.

be laid on the roadside of the town. Arrangements were made to stimulate public interest in town meeting to be called for the purpose of removing this bar, as it is understood the Con- necticut Co.'s attitude, is tha. nothing can be done by the company until this restriction is removed.
 Another report to the meeting was to the effect that the Sasco Country club desires that tracks be eliminated from Broad street and thu Post road west of Library corner. Suggestion has been made that the tracks con- tinue in Main street on the so-called back road. The club is said to want the present Warrenited main road for autos. This proposition will be taken up with Mr. Chapman, too.
 In line with it's principals, which are for the civic betterment of the town, reports were heard last night in the lighting question and the in- adequacy of sidewalk facilities. It town is not getting all the light it contracts for. The selectmen will be asked about this, and if it is true, will be urged to make better ar rangement.A
 The next, meeting of the club will be held in Southport at some central place. The club intends to work for town improvements and invites all citizens to join with them to this end.

Especial to The Farmer.) )


 Fairfield, Feb. 6-The first action that has resulted from years of dis cussion of the inadequate trolley ser vice here, was taken last night when the Fairfield Democratic club at it's meeting in the town lssi hall, tired of waiting for an official move, appoint ed a committee to confer with Gen. eral Manager c. H. Chapman of the Connecticut Co.,, regarding double tracking, which seems to be the gen. eral sentiment for better trolley ser vice in the town.
 The committee, composed of A. w. Perry. president; Edward Flanagan, secretary and John B. Boyle, will call ,lpon Mana ger Chapman and consult with him concerning the proposal to take the tracks off Main street and run them from Gould home across meadow land to Eliot street. It was reported at the meeting that Miss Annie B. Jennings is willing to give up a piece of land on the proposed route, for the purpose.
 This change, it was pointed out, will eliminate the objection to dou- bIe tracking now put forward by Main street residents and it will elim- irate also the curvesSat Gould home, Flint's and Library corner, all of which are dangerous, and the scenes of many accidents.
 It was recalled at the meeting that resolution adopted by town meeting a score of years ago. prevents double tracking and compels that tracks shall
