q MULES AND HORSE
ARE BURNED IN BARN
FIVE TONS OF HAY
ALSO LOST BY D. A. SMITH.
NO INSURANCE.

A heavy loss was sustained by Mr..
d. A. Smith Saturday night when a
barn containing Is tons of new hay,
four mules, one horse and quantity
of fodder burned.
The fire, which occurred on Mr..
Smiths farm three miles west of Daw-
son, was discovered about 7:30 o'clock
Saturday night, and in little while
the building and its contents were
completely destroyed. One of the
mules was found Sunday morning in
a pitiable condition several hundred
yards from the scene of the fire, and
was shot. The scent of burned flesh
led to its discovery. There we're II
mules in the barn at the time of the
fire.
The fire originated in the top of the
barn, and is thought by Mr.. Smith to
have been caused by cigarette in hay
that was baled Saturday afternoon and
stored in the barn.
Mr.. Smith had no insurance and his
loss, which is estimated at 81 500, is
complete.

Conference Year Closes
For Methodists This Week
Sermons Next Sunday Last Before
Preachers Go to cambridge.


The South Georgia Methodist Con-
ference will convene in annual session
next week at cambridge, the first ex-
ercises taking place at 9 o'clock We'd
nesday morning, November 10Th, with
Bishop w. N. Ainsworth presiding.
DR.. w. c. Lovett, the retiring pre-
siding elder, leaves Monday morning.
Rey. T. NJ. Christian, pastor OF the
Dawson Methodist church, will leave
on Tuesday morning. DIR. Lovett has
served the Americas district four
years, and according to the four-year
rule of the conference, will no doubt
be assigned to some other charge. Mr.,
Christian has been at Dawson only
two years, serving only half of the
given limit There are certain condi-
tons under which pastor may be
appointed to a charge without a limit.
This, however, is a recent law in the
Methodist church, and as yet only a
few ministers have served beyond the
four-year limit.
The Dawson charge will make a
credtable showing at the conference.
Under Mr.. Christians administration
great improvements have been made
in the church materially and spiritual
ly. DIR. Lovett has done good work
and is much beloved over the entire
district, and if the laws of the church
allowed he would be welcomed again.
Rev. Christian will preach at the
morning service and DIR. Lovett at the
night service next Sunday. 1t will be
DR.. Lovett's farewell sermon in the
pulpit here.
At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon DR..
Lovett will hold the last quarterly
conference of the district, preparatory
to the big conference at cambridge.

Eggs for Matching Must
Be From Healthy Stock

Good eggs are the foundation of good
matches. The best incubator in the
world can't hatch bad eggs. Make sure
the eggs you set come from healthy
stock kept under sanitary conditions;
then select only those Of normal size
and shape, free from imperfections Of
shell.
Eggs for Matching should be as fresh
as possible not over ten days or two
weeks old and they should be gath
cred three times a day in cold weather
to prevent chilling then kept in a
room of steady temperature at fifty to
sixty degrees.
When an egg tests fertile at the
end of the first week of Incubation, it
doesn't necessarily mean chick. Be-
ginners often blame the incubator
when the real fault may be that the.
eggs are too old. Or they may have
been subjected to rough handling or
kept in too cold or too warm tenn
perature. In such cases the germ will
start, but hasn't the strength to COM
plete the process.

"Better distribution, better printing,
better loading, better tamping, and
proper storage of explosives, caps and
fuses will reduce the cost Of clearing
cut-over land. The waste through inn
proper tamping alone has caused
much unnecessary loss In agricultural

Cheap Explosives Do Work.
"For long time it was thought that
high grade, quick acting, expensive
dynamites were necessary for stump
blasting. During the past few years
it has been proven that low-grade, less
expensive dynamites will do the work
equally as well. Due to the slow
heaving action, even better work can
be done with the low grade dynamites.

KEEP HENS INDOORS
IN SEVERE WEATHER

If you want winter eggs, the hens
should not be allowed to run outdoors
at all. They will do much better con-
fined in the house all the time than
they would out under the old binder or
sitting in the same stall at the barn
all day.
The main reason for keeping hens
in the house is to force them to eat
what is necessary to make them lay
out of season. They must have good,
well-balanced dry mash in hoppers so
they may eat at any time. This dry
mash must be eaten slowly so the
hens have to spend a good deal OF
time at the hoppers to get their fill.
They must also have 3 grain ration
and green's Of some kind.
There are number of grain rat1ons
that can be used, in fact most any grain
that the hens like and is generally
grown on the farm is all right. It can
be balanced by the addition Of other
grains in the dry mash. I prefer a
grain ration of cracked corn, whole
oats, and wheat. Kafir is fine in the
mixture and kafir and oats alone make
a good grain ration, says writer in
Successful Farming.
One of the most important things in
the winter care Of hens is a good litter
of straw or some litter material on the
floor. This litter should be six or
eight inches deep and all the grain
must be scattered in it so the hens
will have to scratch and work for their
feed. The heaviest feed Of grain
should be given at night, 50 all the
hens will go to roost with their crops
full.
Many poultry houses are arranged
so the droppings fall in the litter on
the floor. This can be remedied by
installing a dropping board under the
roosts. The r0osts can be placed
across the back Of. the house on a
level with each other and the plat
form for the dropping board built I'M
der them. Then the droppings can be
cleaned out every day or two and the
litter on the floor will not have to be
changed so often.
The green feed can be supplied
either by sprouting oats or by using
beets or cabbage that have been stored
for the purpose. The oest method OF
feeding, find, is to give the hens q
light grain feed in the early morning.
This can be scattered the night before
If desired. The green feed is put out
at noon and the heavy feed of grain
In the evening before the hens go to
roost.

Protein Usually Lacking
in Ration for Poultry

The most popular ration being fed
by the farmers who are feeding a ball
anced ration is known as the Purdue
standard laying ration. The scratch
feed consists of ten pounds of corn,
ten pounds Of wheat and five pounds
of oats. The mash is a mixture of
five pounds Of bran, five pounds OF
shorts and three pounds Of high grade
tankage. Plenty of grit, oyster shells,
succulent feeds and water are kept
before the hens at all times. The un-
balanced rations which are being fed
to some of the focks consist of corn
and wheat; corn, wheat and bran;
wheat and bran wheat; and corn.
The principal thing lacking in the I'M
balanced rations is an animal protein.
The hen manufactures eggs from the
feed that is given to her. The number
of eggs she will lay depends upon the
kind and amount Of feed she receives.
She cannot maintain her body and
manufacture a large number of eggs
from feeds which do not contain the
proper kind and amount Of nutrients.

Produce Superior
Lambs for Market
Breeding, Feeding, Castro
ton and Docking Among
Important Factors.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Producing desirable lambs for the
market is dependable to a large extent
on the three following principles Of
management, namely, good breeding,
proper feeding, and castration and
docking Of the lambs. OF these three
factors, the latter is probably more
abused than any of the others, espe-
cially when it is considered that dock
ing and castrating are easily done and
add much to the desirability and value
of the lamb carcass. The most desir-
able, and thus the most profitable,
lamb carcass cannot be produced from
lambs which have not been locked and
castrated, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

calves as bulls, nor his boar pigs as

weight of the sow. It should be lin.
tied so that the SOW does not become
too fat. The feeding of concentrates
in self-feeders is not advisable be-
cause the sows tend to eat too much.
Need Water and Minerals.
"The SOW requires plenty of drink
ing water. In real cold weather the
water should be warmed so that the
SOW will drink all that she needs.
Access to salt is desirable. Where
calcium is needed a mineral mixture
consisting Of equal parts of wood
ashes and salt or equal parts of ground
limestone and salt is very satisfac-
tory. A mineral mixture composed Of
equal parts of ground limestone or
wood ashes, salt and ground rock
phosphate or bonemeal can also be
used successfully sto supply both cal
cium and phosphorus. The mineral
mixture may be fed in common box
or In small self-feeder.
'.F7or the first ten weeks of the ges-
tation period one pound of concen-
tratc feed for each 100 pounds of live
weight is the correct ratio for mature
sows. During the remainder of this
period the amount should be increased
to 1.3 pounds for each 100 pounds
Of live weight Yearlings will need
a heavier allowance of Ia to 1.6
pounds Of concentrates for each 100
