Adapting Poultry Fence to Va
riety of Fowls Kept.

Wire netting, pinch mesh, is COM
monty used for fencing poultry yards
and can be. bought at moderate
price. Where several runs are adjoin-
ing, three-fourths of all inch or l.
inch mesh wire of 2 to 21a feet to
keep the males from fighting with
one another.
The height of the fences should be
regulated by the variety of fowls.
The heaviest breeds, like the Brah-
mas, may be restrained by a 4-foot
fence, and most of the other breeds
can be kept in by 6-foot fence.
Hamburgs and Leghorns may be kept
in the yards by clipping the flight
feathers on one wing. Gates should
be provided in order to permit ac-
cess from one yard to the next.
If convenient, it is we'll to have
double yards, for then one may ro-
tate green crops. The yards may be
sown to oats, wheat or rye, and while
the fowls are using one yard the
green feed in the other can be get
ting fresh start.
When the yards are to be on only
one side of the souse, they should be
on the south side in order that the
fowls may have the benefit of the
first dry ground in early spring. 1t
not infrequently happens that in To-
calities where snow is abundant the
ground on the south side is dry many
days before that on the north side.
If the yards are to be in perma-
nent sod and are to furnish green
feed for the fowls, 70 to 80 square
feet should be allowed for each bird,
poultry specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture
say. If part of the green feed is to
be otherwise provided for, and the
yards used mainly for exercise
grounds, 35 to 40 square feet per
bird will be sufficient.
Shade of some kind should be pro-
vided, and this can often be advan-
tageously furnished by planting
fruit trees (such as pears, plums,
cherries and apples) in the yard.

On Nature Study.

We live in world of living ma
ture. What do we know of the brass
under our feet, the trees of forest
and plain, the insects whose apart
ment houses fill the dead twigs, the
birds which nest in the woods and fill
the world with music, the stars over
head, clouds, rain, hail, wind, mist,
dew or the sun which shines over all?
The study of nature has to do with
living things or things that are doing
something.
Nature study will help the child to
make simple, truthful observations
upon the things about him, to appre-
ciate the beautiful in them, and to ex-
press his thoughts in his various ac-
tivities.-Mrs. Bertha Lewis in Our
Dumb Animals.

1t Ought Not So To Be.

At this time when so much atten-
tion is being given to the lawlessness
that is rampant in our country, we
ought to condemn the things in which
crime and immortality get begin
ming. Their deep sources are out of
our reach; and when they are finished
products they are often too difficult
for cure. ..,..,see,s...,,,- ,,-l., r ss9.s,..5sSs
II maHy Of his inj unet ions 1T Vas
not the cause bat the beginnings
crime and immoral lity that the Master
dealt with. He saw, for instance, the
anger and insulting words lead on to
murder, and in fact were incipient
murder: therefore He condemned an
ger, and under the heaviest penalty
forbade the calling fellow man by
an insulting epithet, such as "raca"
or "fool." Estrangement from
neighbor was not only an evil but
dangerous thing; therefore He placed
the duty of reconciliation before the
duty of worship. In like manner He
struck, not at the cause of adultery,
but at it's beginnings in the lustful
look. This method of dealing with
lawlessness was characteristic of our
Lord d is also characteristic of His
religion.
This seems to be the method of
common sense for ordinary men take
precautions against the beginnings
of dangerous agents, such as fire or
disease; or if these get start they
are stopped, if they can be, before
they get too far.
Now it is just this method that is
followed by our pastors in their tes-
timony against the modern dance and
dance hall, against the evilly sug-
gested movies, against the cigerette,
the card games, the breaking down
of the Sabbath and a good many 9TH
er things which are not considered
criminal in themselves but which too
often are the beginnings of the dark
er things from which society seeks
protection.
And yet, sad to say, the testimony
of pastors against these evils does not
always receive the amen of the pub
lie. Only few days ago one of the
greatest papers in America saw fit,
on two occasions, to rebuke leading
pastors who had borne their testi-
mony against the immodest modern
dance. 1t ought not so to be.-Bap-
tist Courier.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Fa-
yorite.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite with the mothers of small
children for colds, Group and whoop-
ing cough. Its pleasant taste and the
prompt cures which it effects has won
the good opinion of mothers every
where. AS this remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic it may be
given as confidently to a baby as to
an adult.

Reducing the Cost.

Those who have been able to take
auantage of every good plowing
:aaySin January have been taking eff
fective steps toward reducing the
cost of this years crops. This is true
for several reasons. Early plowing
will give plenty of time for the rains
to settle the ground and give firm
seed bed at planting time. Early plow
ing distributes the work better, CIV
ing more work in the early months
and less work right at the planting
season. Thus it is possible to get
crops planted more nearly on time.
But one of the greatest advantages
of early plowing is that by it we turn
under stalks, grass, weeds or any hu-
mus building material in time for
them to start rotting by planting
time. To many, the effect of each of
these advantages may appear negli-
gible. Yet it is a fact that each of
them contributes directly or Indirect
ly to reducing the cost of making
crops. The firm seed bed insures bet
ter termination and a more rapid
growth for the young crop. Getting
all crops planted in due season usual
ly makes them more certain in pro-
duction. Turning under stalks, grass,
and weeds in time for rotting to be-
well started by planting time assures
more plant food for the crop and
therefore more pounds OF more BUSH
els of the crop. 1t lessons somewhat
the danger of the interference of the
old stalks in working the new crop.
A thick crop of grass or weeds turned
under just before planting time will
usually prevent the passage OF soil
moisture from below to the surface
layer where the plants are growing.
It is necessary that such crops be
turned under early enough to permit
partial decay before the dry weather
of summer sets in.
1t certainly can cost no more per
acre to plow early. The plowing has
to be done. If early plowing at no
greater cost per acre produces more
pounds or more bushels of crop per
acre, the cost per pound or per bushel
is actually reduced. Every day be-
tween now and nting time, when
the soil is not too % plow, should
be utilized to tn Test extent to
help reduce til II next crop.

The School of Public Health.

The School of Public Health.
The Legislature of Georgia appro-
priated $4,000 to the Georgia Medi-
cal College at Augusta for School
of Public Health for the training of
physicians as County Health Officers
in the State. The legislature thus took
cognizance of the tragedy of sick
ness-its financial loss, suffering, an
nxiety and sorrow. The legislature
believed that. it is far easier to pre-
vent sickness than to cure it-and
sometime, alas! there is no cure!
This week marks the beginning of
this schools work. In direct charge
will be DIR. R. A. Herring, professor
Of preventive medicine in our college,
assisted by DR.. C. C. Applewhite of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice. The inaughra ton Of this school
will be through q two. weeks course
OF lectures which begin today Mon.
day. in the auditorium of the medical
college. These two weeks will COM
prise most intensive work. Addresses
will be made daily at $50, 1890,
II 80 a. M, and 2:30, $3.50 and 4:30
p. M, and there will be a number of
educational films at night.
These addresses will be made by
health officials of this and other
states, and by United States health
officers and by certain other special
lists in public health work.
No such course of lectures has been
given before in this country. These
lectures will be attended by the col
lege students, trained nurses and by
public health workers in the counties.
There are 5000 counties in the
United States and yet only in 135
counties are to be found health Of
fcers giving their whole time to the
work.
The Ellis Health Law of 1910 pro-
vided way for the counties in this
state to put on health officer on full
time duty and executive health work.
1t is said to be the best state health
law in the United States. Georgia
leads the states in rural sanitation.
She has % counties with full time
health officers; and IA other counties,
Richmond among them, that have
been authorized to put these men
on; but the competent men can't be
found. The object of the School of
Public Health at Augusta is to train
and make available these men.
Some of the lecturers of these COM
ing two weeks are men quite famous
in this country, such as DR.. c. c.
Bass, Professor of Experimental
Medicine, Tulane University, New
Orleans; DR.. w. S. Rankin, Commits
sioner of Health of North Carolina
DR.. L. L. Lumsden, Director of Coun-
ty Health Work, United States Pub
lie Health Service; DR.. E. C. Lazy,
Director of Public Welfare, Rich
mond, Va; and DR.. H. H. Hibbs, Di-
rector of School Social Work and
Public Health, Richmond, Va.
This two weeks work will be re-
ported by Mr.. N. L. Willett. Being
devoted as he is to rural welfare, Mr..
Willet could not refuse the task when
he was requested to undertake the
important and delicate work of pre-
pairing reports of the lectures for
publication. Therefore, for two
weeks under his title Common Sense
Comment" with the subtitle "The
School of Public HEALTH. will appear

lege on the preceding day.-Augusta
