c,ss of il, doubtless due to business
conditions and the sale yesterday was
the aftermath. There was a large
lot of the stuff and thc sale occupied
several hours. The live stock brought
surprisingly good prices, everything
considered.
The Cycloneta farm has an inter-
esting bit of history. When the Geor-
qia Southern e. Florida railroad was
built through here 80 years ago, the
land for this farm, 1000 acres, was
donated by H. H. Tiff, the farm to
be used for experimental purposes.
1t was operated by the management
of the railroad which spent something
like 100000 on it. 1t was equipped
with modern buildings, model ma
chinery and improved live stock, the
latter including two imported Spanish
Jacks 1t was designed for expert
mentation work to develop South
Georgia's soil and resources. For
many years it was the show farm of
the state. When the railroad was
sold by the receiver the farm was s Id
to George F. ODER & Sons, of Balti-
more, who later sold it to James F.
Cobb, of Cordcle. 1t passed through
several hands before reaching w. A.
Greer to whom it now reverts.
The name Cycloneta was derived
from the fact that cyclone passed
there in 1882, and laid the timber
waste. The farm contains 1000
acres of the finest farming land in
South Georgia, but appears to be I'M
lucky.

BARK OF TREE NOT WOOD
Scientist corrects an impression
Which Has Long Been More or
Less Widely Held.

Bark on trees and shrubs CORE
spends with the skin on animals. But
it isn't wood. according TO one scien-
fist, and il isn't formed as wood is
formed. 1t covers the wood. and IL is
generally an easy matter to separate
the bark from the wood Hemp and
jute and flax are all bark-the outside
covering of certain vegetable grOwths.
Bark is composed of three layers Of
tissue. The inside layer conducts food
to the plant, and under a magnifyng
glass is seen 10 be made up Of tiny
fibers. Then there is the green zone"
as ii is called, and this also is fibrOus
and helps feed the plant. The out
side layer is cork and is really dead
That is, these cork cells develop and
die Immediately, so one really sees
only a dead tree when he looks at the
bark. The cork of commerce is the
bark Of a certain kind Of tropical tree,
but the outer layer Of bark of all trees
Is technically known as cork, and the
little cells going TO make it up are
called cork.

MISTAKE IN THE LOCATION

The late William Dean Howells was

"The Spaniards. especially the

But they don't know how 10 raise
these children. They take babies OF
three or four months travelling with
them. In every hotel and train there
are sure to be as many babies as
adults.

CONDITIONING BIRDS
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Stand Better Chances for Win
ming if Well Trained.
Poultry Specialists Of United States
Department Of Agriculture Give
Suggestions for Prepare
ton Of Fowls.

Although the larger poultry shows
are usually held In the fall. smaller ex-
hibitions are staged throughout the
winter months. The following advice
in training and conditioning birds pre-
vious TO show. given by poultry spe-
cialists OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. is good the whole
year round. The bird that has been
properly trained and prepared will
stand a better chance every time OF
winning a prize than another bird
equally good. but wild or easily fright
ened. or whose plumage is soIled or
dirty.
After the birds are selected. remove
them from the rest Of the flock and
place each bird In an exhibition coop
for at least part of each day. Fowls
SO confined will become accustomed to
the coop. Handling them-that Is, re-
moving them from the coop each day
will have the effect OF making them
tame. In handling the birds and re-
moving and returning them 10 and
from the coops, move quietly and han
die the birds gently so IA not To
frighten them.
Examine the plumage so that the
fowl will become accustomed 10 such
movements when being handled by the
judge. Likewise. attempt TO compose
the bird by smoothing and stroking the
wattles gently; this seems 10 have a
soothing effect on the fowls, and when
done frequently and properly they
come to look for IL when one approach
es the coop.
Birds 10 be exhibited should not be
confined 10 the exhibition coops for too
great period. as long, continuous
coping may cause them TO get out of
condition and therefore unfit for show.
A satisfactory plan is TO cOnfine the
birds for part Of each day or every
other day alternately up 10 few days
before sending them TO the show, when
they should be confined until ready to
ship.

TANNING MILL VERY USEFUL
Present High Price of Grain Should
Bring Machine Into More Use
on Stormy Days

In many parts of the country there
has been a tendency TO let the tanning
mill rest and rust and gather dust and
TO pay the mill or elevator for cleaning
the grain, paying the bill by accepting
low price for the uncleaned wheat
or oats or barley. Besides, the chick
ems lose the screenings. The present
high price Of grain should bring many
a neglected tanning mill into prOfita-
bic use. Incidentally. farmers will
have profitable work for stormy days,
and much cheap feed for chickens,
pigs and other animals.
