BREWERS PUBLICITY
ACTIVITIES PROBED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-New
phases of the publicity methods Of
brewers, who, it is charged, furnish
ed money for the purchase of GER
tain newspapers and supplied articles
for other newspapers and magazines,
were inquired into today by the sem
ate judiciary subcommittee in its in
vestigation of brewers activities. a
number of witnesses were to be
called before the committee today
and il was said additional document
tary evidence was to be submitted.
Evidence offered at the initial
meeting Of the subcommittee yester-
day was designed to prove certain
brewers had Endorsed notes totalling
100000 which was used as a loan
to Charles II. Allen and William L.
Sheehan for the purchase of the
Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser. Other
testimony was in support of the
charge that the Newark, n. j., Ledg-
er obtained financial assistance
through c. W. Fiegenspan, a promi-
that no part of the loan made to the
Newark newspaper was obtained
through the influence of brewers or
CARNATIONS.
Though no intimation has been
given by Major E. Lowry Humes, OF
the army judge advocate generals
office, and counsel for the investigat-
ing committee. as to the character of
the evidence yet to be introduced, it
was believed that much of il had to
do with the loan made by the brew
ers to Arthur Brisbane for the pur-
chase of the Washington Times.

Breeds of Hogs Adapted to Georgia
+. W, PiercevIIle, Ga, writes: I

There is no one best breed Of pigs.

NnIte breeds, OF course, are not lOoh-

II has been held Jhat their SKINS are
somewhat tenuer and therefore may

breeds, which can be secured at

will answer your purpose very well.
OF black breeds, the Berkshire and
Poland-China are old standard sorts.
The berkshire is widely distributed
in Georgia and is well favored, be-
ing known in practically all sections
as some other breeds. The Poland
China is a good hardy breed OF
hogs, black in color, and has long,
Tapping ears. Their tendency is 20

popular, therefore, In the corn DeIl.
The Tamworth is known to a conSid-
cradle extent in Georgia and is APP
preciated for it's value as a grazer.
No breed is superior in this respect.
They are red in color, rather leggy
and have an unusually long snout.
The body is very long and deep,
thus they produce superior type OF
bacon and are prolific. The Duroc-
Jersey is one of the best-known
breeds of hogs adapted to Georgia.
1t grows rapidly, natures early, pro-
duces a fine grade of bacon and
hams. 1t is a prolific breed and
good grazer. They have a wide
adaptability as to soil and climatic
conditions and this coupled with the
large filters produced has rendered
them a favored breed in this state.
The Hampshire is a black hog. with
wide, white belt around the Shout
ders and forepart of the body. 1t is
relatively new breed, but has be-
come widely disseminated in this
state in recent years and is liked
very much by those who have tried
It out. This breed has a very prom
Using future in Georgia. You should
have no difficulty in purchasing ami
mails of any of the breeds mentioned
locally. BY that we mean within the
state, as we have made wonderful
progress in hog breeding in the last
few years.

suRxINa WITH STEAM SHOVEL


A Semi-Weekly subscriber. living
at Fort Ann, New York state, writes
me that labor was so scarce In Ro-
chester. n. Y. that her daughter saw
more than 200 boxes piled up at one
time during the influenza raging,
awaiting burial in potter's field.
Finally the people secured steam
shovel to dig the trench. in which
to bury them, and they were covered
also by the same steam shovel So
many persons were down sick in bed
that the help became scarce indeed.
This dear correspondent lives near
Vermont line; also Canada line.
Scarcity of labor up there is a
great drawback. Teams hire at So
per day, and extra for Saturday, and
thousands of bushels of potatoes Will
freeze in the ground for lack of help
to save them. Labor gets so cents
an hour and not to be had in many
instances.
Now that the war Is over and the
boys will come home from Europe
at the rate of 100000 per month, II
looks like somebody ought to get up
and order all food crops saved. no
matter what else fails of success;
j enjoyed this dear lady's letter
for two reasons, namely, because 1t
was so interesting and again because

To whom it may concern:
The Rucker cotton is the
best in the world. I believe
this is true without a doubt.
Although this has been any,
thing but a good cotton year,
1 am getting eight large bales
off eight acres planted in the
Rucker cotton.
This cotton is earlier than
other varieties. bolls stick all
over the stalk, and one can pick
one-third more Of it in a day
than he can pick of other va
rieties. Not only do you get
more seed cotton from an acre,
but when you go to the gin
you get from 46 to so per cent
of beautiful creamy lint that
is one inch or more in length.
! have not heard a single
objection raised to the Ruckcr
cotton, and ] believe all the
farmers in this section will
grow it in 1919.

Good butter - one OF the most

food. IL is not only wholesome. but
easily digested and should with pro-
priety constitute a much larger por-

butter because they have been sub
jected all their lives TO the consump-
ton of a product which is called
butter only by courtesy. There is
nothing more delightful or whole
some than pure. uuadulterated but
ter. and while much can be said for
some of the substitutes therefor
which are now obtainable. there is
nothing which has even been found

Judging from what You say your

attack of horn flies. This is a small
insect not unlike the common house
Hy, having the same general shape
and appearance. 1t was apparently
Imported into America about 1887
and since that time has spread over
the entire country. 1t causes con-
siderable irritation 10 cattle and,
therefore, tends to result in de-
creased flow of milk and the loss
of flesh. These dies Dear the name
indicated on account of the'r con-
gregating in large numbers about
the base of the horn. They do not
bother cattle in this position, but
only when they bite the skin on the
back or sides. Any substance which
may be applied TO the surface of the
animal of an offensive character
tends to keep the flies away. A mix
lure of equal parts of pine tar, kero-
sene oil or fish oil is excellent. Va
rious mixtures are put on the mar
ket TO be used for this purpose, but
the homemade remedy suggested is
as satisfactory as any.
One of the best ways to prevent
the multiplying and spread of the
flies is to treat the manure so it
will dry out rapidly.

What a Well-Known and
Popular Bank Cashier
SAYS:

Alpharetta, Ca, Oct. s, 1913.
To whom it may concern:
AS cashier of the Milton
County Bank ] come in con-
tact with the farmers of this
entire section and hear them
talk about their affairs. This
year one of the main themes
of conversation among them
has been the remarkable mon
ey-making qualities of the
Rucker cotton, which has been
so extensively cultivated in
this section this year. They
are unanimous in declaring
this cotton the best money
maker they have ever grown.
From my own knowledge /
can say that the Rucker Select
No. / cotton is the best l have
ever seen. 1t rolls up the bank
accounts for the farmers. 1t
is early, clean, high-linting
and prolific, and the lint is
very fine.
This cotton will surely COM
mend itself to the farmer who
desires to make the most clear
money on the least number OF
acres.
