A SONG Or CHEER AND A WAIL OF WOE. lo: By Rev. Mex W. Bealer. a If I had the time I would drop into il poetry today and tell to all the world 0 the beauty of fall time in south Geor- fl gia. The beauty of the flowers appeals to the eye of even the most callous ob- a server. Roses red, white, yellow and a pink are blooming everywhere and r stately dahlies life their flaming 0 faces to smile upon the passing stran, a ger who comes from colder and more t inhospitable elmates. It seems to me as if the flowers were determined to r cover up the touch of death the frost f has left upon the fading vegetation. t The beauly of the wirring quail, n the clieking turkeys, the barking e squirrels and lie trot.ting 'possums n in the woods appeials to the ear and a tells to all lovers of sport and good 0 eating that the open season for gameil is almost here. t The beautiful flash of tHe fat red- 0 breasted perch as lie snaps up a grass- I hopper or a juicy oak worm and then come1.- fluitering and flounderin-g i fioni tl.o blue water-s of the river into n which you have east your linle, ap- h peal1S to the J)pCtit(e, for if there is a a finer fish than the Gehlochonee 1) perch and bream I do not know where g it. is to be found, unless it is lie trout N that makes his home in the same i. stream. h The rustling cane in the patelio b that surround every home, even the b negro's shanty (for they must all have their ''sop'') tells of sugar t( ''bilin's'' in the near future and new (1 syrup with hot buckwheat-and-well a I feel like some of you north Georgia C fellows would hit me right now if you i could get close enough to me, since il these tiinugs. like the nigger's 'pos- P sium, are too good to talk about, much p less to write about where you can almost smell them. c If you will stop long enough we'll p join in together and sing Howard r< Weedon's little song that is running si in my head thifs morning, and it fits g South Georgia to a T: 0 ti ''When autumn skies are deeper blue g Tian any skies June ever knew; Ih When frost, has touched the mellow y air n Till yellow leaves fall everywhere; When wild grapes scent the winds ti with wine, r And ripe persimmons give the sign, p Then life seems happy as a rhyme b Because-it's nearly 'possum time.

If Bot Danie But here comes Secretary Wilson, t the United States department of zriculture at Washington, saying it it is possible- for a hen's egg, ion before it is laid, to become in !cted with imicro-organ isms. hink for a moment of the surprise id mortification, nay! even heart ies that would come- to any self !specting Georgia hen if she discov :-ed that she has laid an egg with an ppendage like that. I shudder to link of the feelings of a man who ay in the future go into a restau int to order soft boiled eggs, only to id in the blass, when lie has opened to eggs, two or three poor little aicro-organisms flipping and flound ring around in the sticky stuff with 11 the hair scalded off their heads ad tails and perhaps their eyes put At. It would be cruel indeed, and to next thing I expect to hear In tat the Society for the Prevention r Cruelty to Animals has begun a 'u1sade against the soff boiled egg. Seeiretary Wilson suggests that nns, even (le Georgia liens who have Svices outlside of scratching up cab I-C plants in your neighibor's garden ld sitting on door knobs and brick its, may carry around typhoid fever aris on their feet. 1 think I see here this thing is leading. There an el(ort being. made to put the an in lie same class with the small >y and to make her wash her -feet ,fore she goes to bed. It is also stated that it is dangerous eat eggs raw. Can't you see a hid m tliust here against the hound pup id lie yaller dog? If you can't, I in. Everybody is down on these two ifortunate classes of the canine fam y and now here is another effort to A themni out of the way by the ty loid fever route. I don't wonder at the scarcity of ,gs since I have read the secretary's ronunciamento. How can any self ,specting lien afford to lay eggs when to is loaded down with typhoid fever ,rmsIs How could she afford to sing e to blithely cackle again if she felt iat she was placing typhoid fever Drms in the way of every innocent 1iutnd pup and of every unsuspecting aller dog on the place? I just would at (10 it, I wouldn't. That's the trouble with these scien fie farmers who plow on paper and )ap in bulletins and whose hens are aper hens. They know too much and efore long no man can feel safe un ss there is a pasteurized certificate Fith every egg, insuring him that the en has leen disinfected before the gg was laid. I have been looking Dr the invention of a breed of cows hat will give buttermilk, but now tore is a crying need for a new breed f liens that will lay hard boiled eggs, ven if we will have to do without istardls, omelets and egg-nogs.

Triumphant American Women. Henry James in Herpar's Bazaar. I seem to recognize it as one of the commonplaces of journalism, certain ly of American journalism, that the American woman more and more pro sents herself as a great success in the world; and it is evident enough that for a long time she has been abundantly assired of this .

Poultry Notes. I. S. Field in Southern Fai Magazine of Baltimore for Novembe The axe is about the only sure eu for a hen that has acquired the hal of eating eggs. HIens kept in flocks from 30 to with about two males p)roduce the ba results. Wholesome food for henis ad greatly to the flavor and quality the eggs they lay. Coal oil and lard are good for set legs. This condition is due to pa asites, and this preparation will the work. Laying hens need finad consul more food than idlle ones. Care shot be taken that they get it.
