Tax Reduction Urged
By Americus Banker

AMERICUS, Ca, June Ill. q.
Council, prominent banker and bust
ness man here, has issued an appeal
to members of the legislature from
Sumter county asking them to use
their influence to reduce the tax bur-
den which now lies upon the farm
ing class especially.
Declaring that many farmers are
unable to pay their taxes for the
year just ended, Mr.. Council asserts
that much of the burden Of taxation
can be removed without the neces-
sity of neglecting highways, schools
or other needful activities. The time
has come to "call halt" Mr.. Coun-
Gil said, with the farmers simply up
to their necks in debt and unable to
bear further burdens in the way of
taxes

great many people are losing sight
of the fact that there is more to a
chicken than it's power to lay eggs.
The production of table poultry has
never been over done and as our
fast growing western country de-
velops we are going to find an in
creasing demand for big, heavy
birds for the table.
white Wyapdotte hens now sell
for from SIS to $24 a dozen on the
San Francisco market when their
days of usefulness are over, while
Leghorn hens only bring from 81 to
a dozen, which is 33 to so cents
each. Wyandottes will not eat any
more feed and will lay just as many
eggs in a year as a Leghorn. This
last is q pretty broad statement, but
can be proved by the official records
of egg laying contests in many parts
OF the country"
1 noticed in the report of the
Storrs egg laying contest that of the
lO pens leading since last November
four We're Rhode Island Reds, and
only one was White Leghorn. 1t is
getting too hot to raise more than
brood a month from now till cool
weather. brood a month, how
ever, may give you fryers for your
table and some to sell in the off
season.
| know some of you think it is
joke that L haven't said anything
about Golden Bantam sweet corn in
a long time. Well, we have had
four days of real sunshine, and the
farmer has not lost much time away
from his. crop. 1 hear him "wo-a-a"
as [ write these lines. I heard him
tell 1leighbor he would "lay-by" his
sweet corn and Hickory King today.
That means a lot to the housekeeper
on this place. But the horses, hogs
and meal barrel are not so we'll cared
for-not a grain is planted in the
bottom land, and some near the
house must be plowed up and the
ground planted in sorghum. The
rains have been continual and heavy.
We have a third of our sweet pota-
toes planted and hope to get the
others started today or tomorrow.
Many of you will be surprised at
these late paintings, but better late
than never.
Have you started your EPSON salts
and sulphur? 1t is as near a. pre-
ventive for sore-head as one can
find and keeps the flock in good
condition. Use teaspoonful for
four hens and give each medicine
once a week till frost. I put the
salts in the drinking water and mix
the sulphur in a moist mash. To be
systematic, give one every Tues
day and the other Friday. At this
season rains sometime interfere
with the sulphur, as they must not
have it when there is a probability
of getting wet.
Fight lice and mites. Don't stunt
your young chicks nor stop the eggs

Littlest Bear, who had run away,
took a long nap in the tree which
she had climbed. When at last she
awoke, she didn't remember at first
that she had run away. She had had
good nap, and she was feeling fine.
She looked around for Brother and
Sister, and at first she didn't know
what to make of it when she
couldn't find them anywhere in that
big tree. Then she remembered.
Such a queer feeling as she had
when she realized that she was all
alone.
At first it was a very fine feeling
At least she tried to think it was.
II can do just as please now. ,
said she. ~ don't have to stay up in

she treated me the way she did. Yes,
sir, 1 guess she is sorry. And l
guess Brother and Sister wish they
had treated me better. l guess they
wish they hadn't grinned at me

tree. When she reached the ground.
which way to go. There really was
no choice. It didn't make any diff
ference which way she went. You
see she was so completely lost that
she hadn't the least idea where she
was. One direction was as good as
another.
So presently Littlest Bear started
off aimlessly. She wandered this
way and that way, stopping to ex-
anime whatever caught her atten-
ton. 1t was afternoon, and very
pleasant there in the Green Forest.
Littlest Bear poked her inquisitive
little nose into hollow stumps and
holes in the ground, and stopped to
look at everything new she came
across. She was in strange part
of the Green Forest and there were
many things to see.
But after a while Littlest Bear be-
gan to miss Brother and Sister. She
felt just like having romp, but
there was no one to romp with. AL

The Instinct of Prayer


Then they cried unto the Lord i
their trouble, and He delivered ther
put Of their distresses.-Ps. 1915.
Prayer is something that no
man can understand; there is a
mystery about it.
We cannot explain how the
voice Of mortal creature Should
have any influence upon the i'm
mortal God; how there should be
any connection between the sup
plications which are wrung from
our hearts by the pressure of
want and danger and the fulfil
ment of those vast designs which
have been formed from all eter-
nifty.
But however that may be,
prayer is an instinct of the hui
man heart, and the religion
which did not provide for it
would be no religion at all.
It is as natural to pray as it
Is to breathe.
If you want to know how in
evitably men turn to God in all
kinds Of trouble, read the 10th
Psalm.
Every shipwreck, every war,
every famine, every pestilence,
gives new illustrations to the old
story.

type to meet your requirements.
A Good Ration for Dairy Cows
w. p. E., Warrenton, Ga,
writes: We are milking thirty
head of dairy cows and would
like for you to give us formula
for mixing feed at the least eX-
pense to get quantity, quality
and butter fat. We are feeding
at present 100 pounds of oats,
100 pounds of bran, 100 pounds
mixed feed, 100 pounds Of cotton
seed meal and 500 pounds of cot
ton seed hulls at cost of one
and a half cents per pound. Can
you suggest a better balanced
ration at a less cost? We are
feeding about 16G pounds of
timothy hay at night extra, and
our cows have been running on
a bur clover pasture all winter,
but will soon go on a grass pas
ture.
Dairy cows should be literally fed
on as much succulent feed as pos
sible. Succulent feed promotes the
flow of milk more acceptably than
other form OF roughage which can
be used Pasture grass is very fine
for this purpose, and next to 1t
comes soiling crops and then silage.
If you have not built a s.lo, you
should immediately take steps to do
so and thus provide your cows with
an abundance of cheap, succulent
feed during the fall and winter
months. In the meantime you should
plant several catch crops to pro.
vide green feed for your cows aft
err the pastures have dried up. These
may be cut and hauled to the barn
and fed to your cows in the morn
ing and evening of each day. 1t is
of course desirable that eyou keep
them on pasture at the same time,
even though it does not appear as
though they could gather much food
from grazing the land during the
hot, dry months OF summer.
We think there is nothing better
to use for dairy cows than oats, bran
and cotonseed meal. Equal parts of
these foodstuffs make IAN excel
lent ration. On the other hand, you
may use 200 pounds of oats and 1OC
pounds of cottonseed meal. Or you
may use equal parts of bran and
cottonseed meal. You can of course
peanut meal 4br cotton
seed meal if you find it cheaper.
When you feed bran, we think it
hardly necessary to use mill-feed
in addition. Dairy cows should be
fed from one to one and one-half
pounds per one hundred pounds OF
1--we weight, depending on the
milk flow. Our plan is to feed the
bulls freely and scatter the grain
ration over them. One should feed
COWS about all the grain ration they
will eat up clean. Overlooking, of
course, should be avoided. There is
no rule as to the amount that should
be fed to an individual COW. If you
weigh the milk, you can soon de-
ternine what is about the proper
amount to feed in order to produce
milk and butter on profitable basis.
There is no reason why the ration
which you have suggested should
not be used advantGgeously and
prove as desirable as the purchased
ration which you indicate and which
will cost you go much more than
the one you can prepare and utilize
at home.

dreadful thing about his past life.
He didn't drink, hv was moral: he
hadn't mistreated her. But he was
nnsympathetic He had neglected
her, and she had simply persisted of
loneliness.
And she hadn't the strength to
endure. She hadn't the grit to stick
1t out. She hadn't the courage to
fight down her inconsistencies and
adjust herself to the new conditions.
So she had run back home like a cry
baby to mother, and instead of
mother spanking her, so to speak,
and sending her back to her duty,
she was pitied aid oor-thinged" at
home, and father set the lawyers to
work to find some pretext by which
to free her from her matrimonial
vows.
Now it is easy enough to say that
such a girl is a weakling. She is.
And that a man is lucky to get rid
of her He is. But surely the hus-
band signally failed in his duty
when he did not help his wife
through tie bad quarter of an hour
when she first came face to face with
the realities of her new life, and
when he did not assist her to find
herself in the new world in which
she seemed to have no place.
Cold and callous is the man who
does not understand what this means
to girl and who does not show her
sympathy and understanding at such
a time. Selfish to the core is he if
he does not make every possible eff
fort to cheer her up. and find for
her interests and amusements that
will make her days less long and
drear.
Yet there are men who are not
Intentionally unkind, who never stop
to think whether they are making
their young wives happy or unhap-
Ply. They consider that being mar
rieI to them is all that any woman
needs to make her blissful, and SO
they take their brides to some city
where they happen to live and dump
them down with nothing to do, and
nothing to think about, and nobody
to know, and nowhere to go, and eX-,
pect them to be perfectly satisfied.
In realty, there is no more pa
thetic figure in the world than that
of a bride who is brought, per
feet stranger, to live in a strange
city. At home she was a person OF
Importance. In the city she is no
body. At home she was a figure in
the social life. She went to in
Vulnerable parties. There was not
an hour in the day that some friend
was not dropping in for a chat, or
she was not going out to do some
pleasant thing.
In the strange city she knows no
one, except Il few men friends of
her husbands. She is alone during
the day as Robinson Crusoe on his
desert isle, and she gets so hungry
for conversation that she even
makes talk with the butcher boy.
Worst of ALL, she has nothing TO
do. The brand-new furniture and
rugs in the brand-new apartment are
hopelessly clean. Even the bran1-
new clothes offer no chance of mend
ing There is absolutely nothing to
do but to sit up and think of what
mother and the girls are doing, and
that if she were back home shed be
going out automobiling with this one.

stop to dance somewhere else, and
it would all be so gay and jolly.

An Excellent Mixture for Silage
A. B. c., Cornelia, Ca, writes:
Will wheat, oats and vetch mix
ed make a good silage?

There is no reason why you
oats and vetch into silage. We do
crops as satisfactory to use for the
purpose indicated, however, as corn
or sorghum, or certain other crops
which are we'll adapted to Georgia.
In our experience, we have always
used wheat, oats and vctch as hay
and fed them in that form. II you
attempt to use these crops for
silage purposes, remember they
should be fed in a well.ripened con.
dition SO as to get considerable
part of the surplus water they or
dinarily contain out of them. In
other words, if crops are put into
a silo when they are in too green
a state. they naturally tend to make
a sour silage. In your section, corn
planted in three-and- one-half-foo
rows should make excellent silage.
If drouth periods are troublesome
during the growing season, use sor-
ghum with the corn. Plant these
crops in alternate rows. Here at
Athens, where We frequently have a
summer droutsl, we have found sor-
ghum and kaffir corn planted in
alternate rows to furnish us the
largest tonnage of silage we can OBJ
tain per acre. Some have objected
to the use of sorghum as silage be-
cause they said the resulting sila ge
was sour. This is due to the fact
that they attempted to make silage

PATAGONIA MILL ASSURED.


That the proposed Patagonia
smelter will be erected within
the near future is the declara-
tion made by Fred Kuenzle, who
departs today for Colorado to
direct the shipping of smelter
equipment to Patagonia.
In an interview this morning
Mr.. Kuenzle stated:
''The appliances for the Pata-
gonia smelter are specially con-
structed coming under the Kuen-
zle patent. The object of the
patent is to increase greater
combustion and heat at a re-
duced cost of operation and the
erection of customs mills in un-
it's. The mill to be erected in
Patagonia will not only be an
experimental mill but will be
used for the treatment of ores
in the Patagonia mining district. !"
The mill at Patagonia is being
financed by capital Of that city
and of Nogales. Mr.. Kuenzle
plans on being in Colorado sew
eral weeks before returning to
this city.-Herald.
