And Half the Year Gone


The last half of this year of
grace has begun. We who live
where we may see the trees, the
grass, the birds and butterflies,
are more cognizant Of the passing
seasons than the city jewellers. And
the farmer is the one whose
months are marked with variety
of times and seasons that demand
from the dweller of the farm more
thorough knowledge of the re-
suits of each months labor than
any other occupation. I believe that
many farmers fail because they are
not as thoroughly attuned to ma
ture as they should be. One man
succeeds with a certain crop and
fails with another. The details of
one months labor saving are neg
lected and show in the haste and
long hours crowded with work and
necessary preparation later.
There is an idea abroad that
crops are Laid by" in June, or by
the fourth Of July, and that pic
MICS and all-day singings are the
occupations INDUCED in. When cot
ton was king that may have been
the program, but soy beans, field
peas and all sorts of hay crops de-
mand cutting and curing. 1t is a
clever farmer that can get his hay
cut and cured between rains. There
are men here, as in every COM
munity, who seem fated to cut just
in the teeth of storm. I used to
hear my brother say that fodder
pulling time usually brought rain.
There is a superstition, or what
ever you may term it, that frost

She has won in competition with

She has been the only artist for
whom Marshal Ferdinand Foch
would consent to pose

KAISER At DOORN
NOW SOLITARY MAN

DOORN, Holland.-Just to prove
that he's a loose, liberal chap, Elk
Kaiser Wilhelm recently made the
Dutch soldier guards at his palace
a present.
The present was a souvenir pho
togroph CT himself at Doom. With
the picture went a few kind words
to the guards.
Tie kaiser now and then deigns
to converse with the watch, but this
is a rare occurrence. There are now
about sixteen soldiers who take
turns at guarding his palace.
Around the place has been erected
high barbed wire fence and in
front is a castle-like structure which
might be a false front in a musical
comedy. In this castle-like struc-
ture whose doors are studded with
great bolts, live the soldiers and
there too are the offices of the lord
chamberlain.
Behind this structure is a park
and in the distance is the kaiser's
home. Surrounding the place is a
big forest and park where the kaiser
is wont to wander, to do his wood
saving, his spading and his plant
ing
The kaiser has four autos on his
estate, but very seldom ever rides in
Dne. He never gets into the village
proper, but prefers to visit with his
guests in the park, which, perhaps,
reminds him somewhat of the old
park at Sans Souci in Potsdam.
He is a solitary creature His
hair has turned white since he came
to Doom, but those who know of
him say that he is not a mournful
person. He has developed his hob
bies sufficiently to absorb his time
aud hence is doing all right now.
The villagers say he is in good
health, though he suffered rather
severely last winter from the Span.

Shorthorn and the Devon. They are
all good breeds for the purpose indi-
Gated, though there is tendency
on the part of owners to use them
either for one purpose or the other.
The Shorthorns are certainly well
adapted to north Georgia conditions,
and I would not hesitate to purchase
a good strain Of them for the pur-
pose you have in view. For rang
ing and grazing the best beef breed
is probably the Hereford. In this
respect the Shorthorns will run them
a close second. For stall feeding and
6 desirable finish, the Aberdeen An
gus is an excellent strain.
There are several breeds Of hogs
well adapted. to this state. The Po-
land China, the Berkshire, the Tam
worth and the Duroc-Jersey lave all
done we'll with us. There is prob
ably about as much difference in the
management and handling Of these
brands as there is in the breeds
themselves. One individual will like
one type Of hog better than another.
We have found the Duroc a very
profitable and satisfactory hog. For
ranging or grazing purposes, the
Tamworth and the Berkshire have
done well. For heavy feeding, the
Poland China has proven acceptable.
We are laying considerable emphasis
on the DurocS in our own operations,
and consider them one of the most
satisfactory breeds for general use

Cost of Living Lower; ! !
French Birth Rate Rises

PARASITIC birthrate in France
during the early months of 1922 was
considerably higher than in the same

this to the fact that during the past

it kills flies like magic, farm animals NJ
human beings not affected by it at all.
In addition to killing these insects, Rid-O,

Inc cabbage worm as you doubt

esss early in the spring which hatch
out IN about week into a little
green worm. This worm attacks all

eaters, and grow very rapidly. In
Ten days or two weeks they are fully
grown. At that time they are about
one and one-fourth inches long. They
pupate at this stage Of their devel-
opnent. In about two weeks there
after, the butterflies appear and
start another generation.
These worms can be controlled by
spraying or busting with Paris
green or arsenate of lead. To make
the arsenate of lead adhere satisfac-
torlly to cabbage foliage, it is recon-
mended that a resin wash be mixed

We do not think that it will make
any difference which one Of the vari-
cites of Irish potatoes mentioned in
your letter you select for planting.
Both of the varieties mentioned are
standard sorts we'll adapted for cul-
tivation on the second-crop basis in
the south.
IT is desirable that you plant these
potatoes in rows four feet apart, that
You make the rows reasonably wide
and deep, and that you fertilize rath-
er literally with a formula contain
ing per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent
acid phosphate and per cent pot
ash. The use of minimum of 500
pounds Of this mixture per acre is
advisable. A thousand pounds would
be better. The fertilizer should be
scattered in the furrow, and we'll
worked into the subsoil. It is not de-
sirable that fresh cut potatoes be
brought in direct contact with the
fertilizer. Some people prefer to
plant whole potatoes, and this prac-
tice is all right provided you can Sc
cure relatively small, uniform sized
potatoes. We would plant the po-
tatoes about eighteen inches apart in
the drill row. Cover them well by
drawing the earth up from both
sides of the row. One of our great
es problems is to secure a potato
that will terminate quickly. The
seed should be allowed to dry out
somewhat before they are planted,
or before they are cut for planting,
which ever method you may elect to
follow. 1t is good practice to plant
socond-crop Irish potatoes during
July or early August. The middle
OF July constitutes one of the best
seasons in which to plant in your

Grazing Amber Cane and Cattail

spring months?
There is no objection to turning
cattle on cane and cattail millet
when these crops are relatively small
provided first of all the cattle are
accustomed to eating green feed in
considerable quantities. 1t is also
important to see that they are turn
ed on these crops when they are
quite dry rather than when they are
covered with dew or after heavy
rain. 1t is good practice to see that
the cattle have been literally fed be-
fore they are turned on the fresh,
green crops. This is to prevent them
from engorging themselves. You

also, I believe that when there
is only one cause for divorce, as in
New York, the law leads to more i'm
morality, more collision, more per-

liberal grounds are recognized"
The Children
The judge paused and sighed.
Its the children who suffer most
in divorce cases." he observed.
That's what reduced me to the edge
of a breakdown-worry about the
poor little children. Even at school
they are ostracized if it is known
that their parents have separated
And they need the care of both a
father and a mother. Nevertheless,
1 would not say that there never
should be divorce when there are
children; I would urge only that the
couples who are not childless make
every possible effort to compose
their disagreements and take a grip
on life together for the sake of the
youngsters.
"a f1fty-fifty marriage is the ideal
one" he summed up; "a marriage
where the joys, as we'll as the grtefs
and burdens are shared; where the
authority is shared-the woman rul-
ing in the home, the man outside it;
where love is shared. Just a little
kiss, little hug now and then, does
a whole lot toward making home
happy. J. know-that's what's made
mine happy all these years"
