Golf Was Played in Georgia in 1911

AvANNAH, GA.-"The members of - the Golf club are requested to meet at the exchange this evening at seven o'clock, No ember 25."
 Although modern in its phraseology, the foregoing invitation was issued more than no years ago by officers of the Savannah Golf Club.' It ap- peared in the form of an advertise ment in the Savannah Museum, a newspaper bearing the date of No vember 25, 1911, copy of which has just been found.
 The location of the links of the Golf Club" is not known, and just what the character of the game in the early days here is not recorded. The game then was to be developed to the point where newspaper readers demanded full details of the clash. But that golf was played in Sa annah early in the Eighteenth century is a fact and that i was played ty Scotchmen is equally true.
 That the Golf Club" was conduct ed along the lines of the modern clubs, however, may be assumed from information contained in one of its

FAVOR SM0OTH-nPE MERIN0
Will Produce Good Mutton Lamb Without Sacrificing Appreciably
 Fineness of Wool.

CPrepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 Sheep breeders of eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and the Pan- Handle section of West Virginia, are leaning more strongly to the smooth type, broad-backed, Delaine Merino which will produce a good mutton lamb without sacrificing appreciably the fineness of the wool. While the lambs cannot be marketed so easily as those of the down breeds, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture, they are ready for market before they are a year old. In some cases the breeder waits until they are year old, shears them, and then sells them in good flesh, thus getting a double return.
 Sheepmen in those sections have found that they usually can get wool of longer staple and of less shrinkage with the smooth-type Merino than

 It was strange, however, that withal there did not seem to be much happi- ness among the branches. Indeed, be- fore long, Peter seemed as dissatisfied and fretful as though his tree had borne him nothing more than its wild cones. His mother felt a good deal disappointed, for she had hoped that 70 wonderful surprise would be as happy a thing for him as 1t had been for her; but she could think of nothing better, so that the Christmas celebra- ton began to seem like failure. Mir. Cadwalader, however. had a sugges- ton to make. He said that he thought that the tree had not been cultivated enough, and that if Peter would invite some of his young friends in he thought they might get good deal of pleasure out of things even yet.
 When the little company had assem- bled and Mir. Cadwalader had dis Gibuted some packages that he had

 The first of the three gifts was a small box. all done up in tissue paper. When Dorothy had taken off the paper and undone the box there was another little box. and when she opened this box there was another little box in that, then there was another little box, then there was another little box. then there was another little box, then there was another little box; and so 1t went on until, in the last box, she found a gold dollar. The second gift was a bayberry candle, with these words on a piece of paper:
 Set me in the window some dark night. Many will not see me, someone might.
 Madeline got this second present and seemed very glad of it. Then the third gift was taken down and pre- sented to Peter. It was only note, all done up in an envelope, but 1t helped him to see why the party had made him happier than he had been when he was all alone with his tree, for he could not only read the note, but also the sweet meaning when 1t said:
 All trees are Christmas trees that bear The care of love and love of care.
 To cultivate a Christmas tree
 Plant 1t in love and let 1t be.
 Gold for misfortune 1t will keep.
 Light in the darkness 1t will give.
 Its truth will blossom while you sleep.
 So Peter found out all that the old woodsman had meant when he told him about cultivating trees.

 With your gift send some pretty card expressing your affection for the recipient. A good idea, especially with a book or some other gift of the sort, is to send instead of a card a little blotter calendar It consists of two or more blotters tied together with bow of holly ribbon, calendar pad for 1922, and a picture Ca post car6 will do, but the subject must be suited to your friends tastes) fastened to it on the other side. The fastening may be done by clips or by sealing wax. A slip of paper with a Christmas greeting should also be added. The blotters may be red and green or they may give the colors of some club or college in which the donor or re- cipient is interested.
 Finally do not forget to weigh all packages you mail. Nothing Is more annoying than to have to pay for a package sent out by some careless friend. And keep a card catalogue of your Christmas presents. Then you will avoid the two pitfalls of forget ting some one or duplicating a gift both horrible to contemplate.
 Above all, wrap your presents with kindly thought-or do not give any at all.

Too Much Spirit of Dead Sweetheart

"When she told him that through her directions he could buy cheaper outlets and bet ter bargains in silk hose for his wife, he took the household pocketbook away from me, and refused to allow me cent.
 "Tt is perfectly reasonable that a spirit should know up-to-date bar gains better than a mere mortal,' he told me. Each da- he talked to Eve lyn and she told him what to buy. If I needed a new pair of shoes. and Evelyn said there would be better bar gains the next month, had to wait"
 But such hold did Evelyn" have over the erring husband, Mrs. Lahm said, that he worshiped at her shrine Following the first evidence of his devotion to the spirit sweetheart, he closed their fiat and went to live with his mother.

PASTURE REQUIRED FOR HOGS
Sufficient Grass for Sow and Her Lit ter Should Not Be Expensive to
 the Farmer.

The economy of having plenty of meat, lard, sausage and other products from hogs seems not to have occurred to many farmers, else more would raise their meat. But 1t is fact in some communities very few hogs are raised.
 For best results pasture is required for enough pigs to be raised for meat enough to do the average farmer. But sufficient for a SOW and her litter should not be very expensive. A small area of land fenced so the land may be sown to two or three different crops will go long way toward furnishing economical pork for the farm home.

LIVE STOCK FACTS
Idle Work Horse

The idle work horse will live through the winter and remain in good condition on roughage alone, if of good quality. One half of the roughage should be composed of clover or alfalfa, while the other half may be corn stover and straw. If no legume hay is available and timothy and other carbohydrate rOughages must be depended upon for the horses feed, he should be given small amount of oats, say from five to seven pounds a day, oth- erwise his strength and vitality will suffer. With these non legume rOughages one should not feed corn in place of oats be cause the former lacks protein. While oats are not rich in this constituent, they are neverthe- less much better than corn.

Reserve ribbons and fancy cards for the inside of the package, and remember that putting seal over the fastening of a parcel prevents its being sent third class.

 As for the packages which are to be delivered in person, however, or the inside of those to be sent by mall or express, you may exhaust your in genuity to make them pretty. With a box, of course, 1t is always easy to use holly tissue paper and green and red ribbon and a sprig of holly or mistletoe; but a wrapped parcel al- ways looks more clumsy.
 Wrap the gift first in white tissue paper; then roll 1t in white bristol board; and then cover it with green or red crepe paper. Tie around it a bow of ribbon in the contrasting shade, stick through this a sprig of holly and a card of good wishes. fasten at the ends with Christmas seals, and there you are!
 These seals, by the way. although they may be purchased very cheaply, still have a further touch of individual ity when made at home. Do them on glazed paper and coat them, before cutting out, with mucilage that can be allowed to dry and then wet again when necessary.
