Besides, manure which has rotted In

This, too, 1t will be admitted, is the
usual case; yet the bad effects from
the use Of fresh manure arise from inn

Fresh manure may or may not hclt

TO THE FARMERS
Of BEN HILL AND
ADJOINING COUNTIES

Very pressing war conditions con-
front the South, especially the South
ern farmer. We must make what we
eat. We must grow food crops and
meat producing animals. Wild theo-
ries must be discarded; safe and sane
farming methods put into practice
1t is no time for experimentation. 1t
is ime for production We must all
plant, cultivate and reap. We must
grow corn, wheat, peanuts, velvet
beans, vegetables and fruits. We must
make pastures, silage, keep sufficient
cattle, sheep goats, hogs, horses and
mules to eat all the pastures and ami
NAL feed we can grow. The success
OF the farmer is the handspring of
national prosperity and the live stock
industry is essential to successful
agriculture Millions OF dollars worth
Of domcsticated animals are every
year lost or sacrificed because own
ers are not acquainted with their dis
eases and do not know how.t to treat
them.
Yet, sick and lame animals, under
the care of qualified Veterinarian,
are more readily cured than people.
Horses, mules and other domesticat-
ed animals produce products worth
many millions. Veterinary science
has made marvellous progress in re-
cent years The veterinarians are &C
comprising much in the therapeu-
teal treatment Of animals by protect
ing the animal of food origin. The
public IS awakening to the realization
OF the benefits derived therefrom, and
instead of rsking slim chances Of adj
ministering various proffered cures
until the disease is we'll established,
or dangerous complications develop,
progressive animal husbandry is Gre
ating greater demand for services
of trained veterinarian to alleviate
the suffering of the domestic animals
and prevent in a greater measure the
enormous losses that accrue each
year
Unassuming no self command NOR
claim to know all or cure all but there
is no fear entertained to prove veteri-
nary skill in difficult cases, and a yea
lous effort is eagerly manifested to
effect recovery in large percentage
OF all demical affections of animals.
To render valuable service to the
public in the scientific case OF live
stock is the aim of much moment.
and if the people of this community
will give me their confidence and sup
port, | will readily convince them of
my superiority over the uneducated
in veterinary science.

SELLS WORN OUT MULES

mules were auctioned off today by
Chief John Jentzen of the sanitary
department of Atlanta, and brought

mission that they were worn out. He
guaranteed nothing except the fact
that they were owned by the city of
Atlanta He said they might go down
in few hours or then again might
last several seasons with light worl:

by experience that mule which can

Then it was driven back to the hose
house, where it hooked up to the

down to the fire.
The situation was more or less
ironical because the town had de-

Camp Dix Soldiers
Lose Appetites

CAMP DIX, N. j., March 31.-Every-
thing but the stomachs of soldiers ap-
proved the daylight saving schedule as
adopted for the thousands of men at
this army post to-day. The camp awoke
one hour earlier than usual, and at
breakfast the thing was not so notice-
able, but at noon and evening mess ap-
petites refused to respond in the usual
manner. Cooks said their companies
ate 80 per cent below par when sum-
moned to dinner an hour ahead of the
usual time. They predicted it would
be fortnight before the men would
get accustomed to the new hours.
There was some fussing when "taps"
sounded one hour earlier, but officers
suggested that after days work on
the new time schedule every soldier
would be ready to "hit the hay" to-mor-
row night when the horn blows.
Camp Dix is prepared to receive sew
eral thousand new recruits beginning
tomorrow. The plan adopted for the
recent quota of 1000 New Jersey men
of allotting the men to regiments with
out regard to home localities will be
followed with the new men. The 5000
New Jersey men of the recent quota
remaining after the transfer of 1000 to
special units will be permanently as
signed to regiments during the coming
week. Bigg practice on the new ar
tillery range is expected to begin this
