k: a Heavy Lambs the Best. i The Missouri station found that the \ - heaviest lambs at birth were from the heaviest ewes, and that these heaviest ewes at birth gained faster in weight than those of lighter weight at birth. Butter on the Farm. * At one of the Iowa Institutes a " speaker in the course of his remarks sai<^ that "the best churn to use is a revolving barrel or box churn; the butter should not be churned together in a lump, stop churning when the butter is in granular form about the size of wheat kernels and the buttermilk should then be drawn off, then pure, cold water must be poured on the butter and the churn turned forward and backward a few times and the water drawn off and fresh water is clear of buttermilk; usually water put on three or four times is sufficient. Now, the butter is ready for the salt. About one ana one-aau ounces of dairy salt to a pound of butter, must be well mixed with the butter but should not be worked more than just enough to mix the salt with the butter, and then put in a cool place twelve hours for the salt t* dissolve when it can be reworked and packed ready for market. Condition Powders for Poultry. The use of pulverized cayenne pepper or capsicum, so . often advised and resorted to, is discouraged by experienced poultry raisers, on ac_ - count of its strong, penetrating and almost poisonous nature. While it may prove beneficial for the moment, after its influence has been dispelled it leaves the system more enfeebled than at the outset and in its stead the following compound is recommended: Carbonate of iron, 1 ounce; anise seed, 2; powdered ginger, 6; mustard, 1; table salt, 2; sulphur, 2; . \ / licorice, 4; powdered charcoal, 14. These should be powdered and mixed thoroughly, making 2 pounds of good t condition powders, and if kept in a tight box, will be good for a long * time. A table-spoonful in ten quarts of soft feed, or in that proportion, fed every other day in warm weather, #? ororv Hav In stnrmv or cold . VI vrv*v ?^ ? ^ T weather, will prove of service. For growing chicks, one-half of the amount of powders in the same quantity of feed is sufficient. A table? spoonful of the tincture of iron to each gallon of drinking water should be provided in all bad seasons.?The Bpitomist. h ' ? Well Worth Trying. Try to have a well-balanced garden. Try to keep all tools in good ccn1? dition. Try portable sashes for hurrying the seedlings. Try burning all caterpillars' nests found on trees and shrubbery. Try planting another patch of sweet peas for prolonged bloom. Try the low-growing dwarf dahlias; they promise to be a great success. Try Jackmanni Clematis for the west porch. Try sweet alyssum for edging the shrub bed; it will form a mass of snow white bloom. Trv hnnrthinc hramrhes of &DDle blossoms, in grandma's old blue pitcher, for the dinner table. Try iron stakes and wire pegs, instead of the usual wooden contriv^ anoes?they will last enough longer to pay. 'Pry the use of only well rotted manure, and spade It deeply; otherwise It will prove too heating for the majority of plants. Try a large bed of mignonette for fragrance and constant cutting, and plant gay poppies in the background by. way of contrast * Try giving a final grading to all paths as soon as the weather is settled; and top the broken-stone paths With a good binding gravel. Try taking active measures to organize a floral mission ia your neighborhood, no matter where you live, and note results in the improved condition of back yards. Try giving the fuchsias a rich potting and planting them where the mid-day sun cannot reach them: then If thev are Vent well watered. r>ro * fuse blooming may be depended upon. Try making some cuttings now of the well-ripened wood of your favorite rose and stick them deeply In the soil in the shade of the parent bush, and you will have cause to rejoice in the fall. Feeding Swine in Summer. 4 Hogs, in order to do well in summer, want good pasturage. Also, access to water and mud to lie in. . While mud is very bad for them in cold weather, absorbinfg too much animal heat then, it has on them a soothing effect during warm weather, ? and will prevent them from "melting" however fat. Plenty of grass to eat is likewise cooling and loosening to them, let alone that it counteracts the feverish properties of corn, if that is fed; and if it is desirable to fatten ! them, corn should be fed, for in con- j a* * * ^ ' ** ..' . .. ' i \ ' ;x nection with the grass, water, mud and a certain amount of milk, this is one of the most economical ways of making pork. Without corn, moreover, hogs that have been wintered on grain if turned - 1 ?^..1A on pasture in me spring *?wum ut pretty sure to lose a good deal of the fat which they hawe stored up. While the succulent grass will stimulate the appetite and correct stomach troubles that have been caused by too heavy winter diet, it would not be policy, any way, to stop grain feeding and give them all pasturage. Rather the change should be made gradually, and where liberal grain feeding was carried on through the winter, a moderate amount should certainly be given through the early spring months when pasturing begins. The danger of the animals getting sick because of the change in their diet will then be greatly lessened. If young, however, very Jittle com or no cornmeal at all should be fed until the pigs are at least four months old. Otherwise they are apt to become costive, followed by scouring,' whereupon, rubbing against everything they can get to, their skin will have a red and dry appearance; next a dry, black scurf will form, and the more com and cornmeal they are given the poorer they will become. For checking scours in young pigs, lettuce is good, and coarse flour or middlings from rye or wheat, made into a thin slop with milk, is, with the exception of bread and milk, a most ideal food for them. To make it, the middlings should be mixed with the milk at night after the feeding has been done. With a little of the old left in the bottom of the swill tub, to act as yeast, it will be in fine condition bv morning to feed, especially if given often and never in larger quantities than the pigs will eat up clean. But, though it is necessary for the swill to be become fermented in order to digest well, care should be taken never to let it get stale. After four months old their food, of course, can be made stronger, and then it is that opportunities in grass and corn should be made most of.?Boston Cultivator. r Don't Make Garden In a Day. J. C. Whitten, Horticulturist of Missouri University gives the following timely suggestions for garden making: "If the garden is planted all in a day to get the disagreeable job out of the way, it is probable that only one or _ ^ _1 x- ill ikAin two species Ol pia.iiis win ui/ lucn best. Some will have been planted too early and others too late. "For best results in garden making each kind of plant should be put out at the time when conditions are best suited to it. Lawn grass seed, sweet peas, parsnips, onions, spinach and some other species should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Seeds of all these will germinate, and even make stronger growth, when the soil is only a few degrees above freezing. If it freezes more or less on cold nights after they are planted no harm is usually done. "Other plants, like nasturtiums, candy-tuft, beets, potatoes, carrots, etc., have a larger heat requirement and should be planted in mid spring, or at least later than the mentioned list. They will net redure well if put out on the first days when the ground begins to thaw out that they should be planted before the soil gets very warm. "Corn, beans, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and many others require a warm soil and time will be gained if tbey are not planted until the soil is well warmed up to a considerable depth. If put out too early, the seeds are liable to decay in the soil. Even if the plants do grow they will become stunted by the cold and will not develop into good plants. It saves time to plant these warmth-loving kinds after the soil is warm. "Some species need a great deal of heat. These are lima beans, okra or gumbo, egg plants, and some others. They should be the last vegetable planted. Still other species should be planted at intervals so as to get a succession of vegetables for the table. Most kinds which grow quickly may be planted in succession. Radishes, beets, lettuce, peas, and many others are best only when they are tender and succulent. Seeds of these may be planted every three weeks for a time, so as to have them under the first half of the season. "No date can be mentioned for planting tne amerent sorts, seasons differ. It may be warmer one year on the first of April than it is two weeks later another year. If one will watch the starting of leaves and flowers on early shrubs, he can get an index as to the time to plant. To plant sweet peas when the willow catkins are coming out is a good rule, and similar comparisons may be made for other plants. This is accurate, for the willows start, not on a given day in March, but when they have received heat enough to grow well." The cattle of the Austrc-Hungariah Umpire number 8,580,000.

The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky was wont to relate with much relish an interesting experience which he once had in connection with waffles. At a fine old Virginia homestead where he was a frequent guest the waffles were always remarkably good. One morning, as breakfast drew near an end, the tidy little linencoated black boy who served at table approached Bishop Dudley and asked in a low voice: "Bishop, won't y' have 'n'er waffle?" "Yes," said the genial bishop, i believe I will." "Dey ain' no mo'," then said the nice little black boy. "T7ell," exclaimed the surprised reverend gentleman, "if there arn't any more waffles, what made you ask tti#> if i wanted another one?" "Bishop," explained the little black boy, "you's done et ten a'ready, an' I fought y' wouldn't want no mo'."?'

As my health was good in every other way I could not understand this trouble. It was just as if all the strength had gone from my' back.

"In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physician who had charge of me was trying to sew up the fide of my foot, but with no success.

Xo more Important legislation has been passed by the Georgia general assembly at its present session than that cf appropriating $100,000 for the erection of suitable buildings and equipments for an up-to-date agricultural college in Connection with the state university at Athens. The recent trip of the Georgia stats university trustees to Wisconsin for the purpose of studying the great agricultural college (there emphasized the necessity of doing something for this most important industry. Hon. J. J. Connor, president of the state agricultural society introduced the bill to apropriate $100,000 for an agricultural hall on the campus. Mr. George Foster Peabody and others purchased nine hundred acres of land adjoining the old campus for over $100,000. This will give ample room for experiment station plats, general farm crops, stock, orchards, forestry and everything pertaining to the education and life of the farmer. Here will be planted orchards of every kind of fruit that con be grown in Georgia. Here will be herds of all the best breeds of mitK and of beef cattle, of hogs, houses, sheep and poultry. Farm crops of every kind will be grown, experiments in plant breedings, till and fertilizing will be conducted. To this great college and farm, as it develops, will come hundreds of students for the longer courses, and thousands of farmers will annually visit it for lectures and demonstrations. It will become the Mecca of every Georgia farmer. Here will bis son study. Here be will come with his family in the summer to the annual state institute. Here he will write for information, for tests, for bulletins. Here will be trained the teachers to teach agriculture in the county high schools, which are sure to come willi in a icy* j who. Every farmer should rejoice at the recognition of his occupation as worthy of the best building and the best equipment on the university campus. It means a new era of prosperity for the farm. This liberal provision guarantees larger usefulness of the state's historic university and will enable it to preserve all the splendid traditions of its glorious past, while it keeps abreast of the spirit of modern progress. J. S. STEWART. Senor Duro's Voyage. Details reaching France concerning Senor Duro's aerial voyage over the Pyrenees are of great interest for those associated with aeronautics. It appears that the. trip* was in the na ture of a tour de force of seizing occasion by the forelock. It had not been proposed to do anything for a day or two, but a steady wind from the north setting in over Pau during Monday afternoon, Senor Duro had his airship rapidly inflated, and ns dusk was setting in committed himself alone to the winds of the night. He cleared the Pyrenees over the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, at a height of 9,000 feet, traversing a furious hurricane of wind and snow that for a time placed him in some peril. He had to keep himself .at this elevation most of the night, by reason of the Spanish mountain chains. He obtained elfin glimpses of cities so widely separate'd as Saragossa, Madrid and Toledo as he sped along through the dark midair, and abolit 4 a. m. on Tuesday the aeronaut found that he had traversed Spain in the night from north to south. He was then over Linares, in Granada, confronted by the great peak of the Sierra Nevada, nearly 11,000 feet high, with the Mediterranean behind it Rather than face this prospect the senor came down at Guadix, after traversing 452 miles in ten and a half hours?a fine express "speed.?London Globe. The Navy's Marksmanship. "The criterion of target practice is the actual number of hits per minute," says Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte. "Many ships now average between 75 and 90 per cent of hits with all their main-battery guns, whereas in former days the percent' 1- -? A rrV, age was rareiy o?er cvcu uiuugu firing slowly at a target more than seven times as large as the present one. Then the target was 100 feet long* and 25 feet high; to-day it is 21 feet long and 12 feet high. This increase in hitting ability is due to the assiduous training in the target practices which have been carried out under the new system adopted and also to improvement in ordnance. Going back to 1S9S, when the navy was using black powder and when sights and other parts of the equipment were poorly developed, our firing was both slow and inaccurate. At that time it was considered satisfactory if a 12-inch gun fired one shot in five minutes. But with each subsequent improvement in ordnance the rapidi y was somewhat increased, and by currying out systematic target practice the present striking efficiency has hepn attained. For examDle. the I heavy turret guns that were but a few years ago allowed five minutes in which to fire a shot, have recently fired three shots and made three hif in one minute."?Harper's Weekly. or Money Refunded Dy Your MercVt< ' |^H / A It w&e eetablls M 600; magnificent i i^H I ^wintinA larffest W gymnasium, two 1 that of any colleg of Georgia.
