IS FORGIVENESS OF NATURE
J. J. Ingalls' Beautiful Description es
Grass. Which Covers the Scar*
Man Has Made.
Lying in the sunshine among the
hut ten ups and the dandelions of
May. sea reel v higher in intelligence
than the minute tenants of that
mimic wilderness. our earliest recol
lections are of grass; and when the
fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom of
the earth has made, and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket of
the dead. Grass is the forgiveness
of Nature—her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, saturat
ed with blood, torn with the ruts of
cannon, grow greet) again with grass,
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grass
grown like rural lanes and are oblit
erated. Forests decay, harvests per
ish, flowers vanish, but grass is im
naortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into
the impregnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality and emerges upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle agri
culture of the elements which are its
Ministers and servants, it softens the
rude outline of the world. It bears
no blazonry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue is more enchant
ing than the lily or the rose. It
yields no fruit in earth or air, and
yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world.—John J. Ingalls.

MUSICAL SENSE IN FLOWERS.
Remarks the London World: “A
German professor has discovered
that flowers possess a musical sense,
and betray their individual natures
by expanding their petals under the
influence of certain melodies. Roses
prefer old-fashioned airs; peonies, he
finds, blush a deeper hue when they
hear the volcanic vanities of Wag
ner; violets are no longer modest
when serenaded by modem composers,
and lilies simply close their wearied
bells at the sound of the waits. Pic
ture to yourself the learned professor
•n tour round his garden with a
small but select orchestra, specially
engaged, making sweet music to hie
flower beds, anxiously watching for
startling effects! I wonder, by the
way, what tune would rouse a snap
dragon to protest. And what terri
ble cataclysm would happen if Sou
•a’s exciting compositions were
played in the orchid house?”
GOOD LIGHT OPERA THEME.
A new light opera is founded on
the romantic career of Baron Trenck,
an Austrian soldier of fortune.
Strangely enough, there are two cel
ebrated adventurers of this name.
They were cousins, both were dare
devil fighters, both had prison epi
sodes in their checkered careers, and
both had tragic ends—one being a
suicide, the other a victim of the
French revolution. The opera cele
brates the career of the elder Trenck.
SHOVING HIM OFF.
George— l’m afraid Ethel doesn’t
love me any more.
Jack —What makes you think so ?
George—Last night she intro-
Buced me to her chaperon.
NOT THERE.
Joke Seller — Did you receive my
letter and that batch of jokes?
Editor —I received the letter, but
I didn’t see the jokes.—Satire.

TREATMENT OF FLESH WOUND
Method of Value to Every Owner of
Stock Is Given by Prof. G. H.
Glover of Massachusetts.
The following treatment of flesh
wounds by Prof. G. H. Glover of Mas
sachusetts is of value to every owner
of stock, as he is a recognized au
thority. The ordinary wound will heal
if not interfered with. This interfer
ence may be from germs, parasites
meddling with the wound, on the part
of man or the animal itself. The
first thing to do, of course, would be
to stop the hemorrhage. This can ba
accomplished by a tight bandage of
clean, white muslin applied either
over the wound or above it A thread
may be run under the artery by using
a needle and tied. Do not use flour,
dirt, cobwebs or anything of that sort
on the wound; they are unnecessary
and may produce dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding remove
the clots of blood and cut off the rag
ged edges of tissue with clean shears.
A pan of antiseptic solution should be
provided, and one of the best antisep
tics on the farm is creolin. Add a tea
spoonful of this to a pint of water that
has been boiled and use it on the
wound two or three times a day. Place
the knife, shears, etc., in this solu
tion and wash the hands before begin
ning to dress the wound.
See that there is good drainage
from the wound and do not tie the
wound up with covering of any kind.
In about one week it may be well to
change to dry dressing. In the mean
time it will be well to get in communi
cation with some skilled veterinarian
who will advise you in the case from
time to time. I do not mention sew
ing up the wound for the reason that
in ragged cuts it is better not to do
so. Remember that the principal thing
is to get the wound healthy at the
start and then it will heal with very
little interference.
OPERATE CAGE DIPPING VAT
Crate I* Raised and Lowered by Use
of Team of Horses—lllustration
Explains Itself.
One of your readers desires informa
tion as to how to operate the cage in
the dipping vat I recently described
in your columns, writes L. W. Chase
Cage Dipping Vat.
of the University of Nebraska in the
Breeder’s Gazette.
The accompanying illustration will
make it clear. The crate is raised and
lowered by hitching a good horse or
team to a rope which passes from
the top of the drum down through an
auxiliary pulley and from there to the
clevis for the singletree or double
trees. The auxiliary pulley can be the
regular floor pulley for the hay fork
rope. After the rope passes through
the pulley the team may travel in
any convenient direction.
Buy Feed or Sell Pigs?
A good many are asking what they
are to feed their pigs, this season, with
corn at 80 cents a bushel and mid
dlings 11.75 per cwt. and prospects of
going still higher. For the man who
has pig* and no feed, we thing it would
be about the most reasonable thing for
him to sei! his pigs to some man who
ha* feed, and save himself the drudg
ery of carrying the food to them and
the risk of losing good money in the
process. It is the opinion of the writer
that even with pork abnormally high,
there is no money to be made just now
by feeding hogs on a ration that must
all be purchased at current prices.
LIVE:
Cooking food for animals seldom
pays.
The stallion should show lots of
masculinity.
One hundred acres will carry forty
head of live stock.
Shear the sheep before their wool
gets to be a burden.
If you haven’t a hog house, prepare
to build one next fall.
You can’t be too particular in pick
ing sires for your herds.
Many stallions ane used too much
to produce a large per cent of colts.
Horses, cattle, hogs and chickens are
dirty if they are not handled in an in
telligent manner.
The Ohio experiment station has
found that rape is one of the very
best forage crops for hogs.
Sell your wool on a rising market
Nine times out of ten you will miss it
if you try to keep it for something
better.
Pigs fed on dirty, musty floors, are
apt to contract lung trouble through
inhaling dust, chaff and other clog
ging material.
Dock every lamb, ewes w r hen they
are from eight to fourteen days old,
and ram lambs from five to seven days
after castration.
People with a prejudice against
sheep claim they are dirty. This is
quite true if they are handled in such
away that they cannot help It
NEW BUILDINGS RAPIDLY
NEARING A COMPLETION.
Will be Ready for Occupancy About Sept. 1 —
Palmouts to Take Castleberry Stand.
The new buildings on the square,
being 'erected in place of those de
stoyed by the fire are rapidly being
brought to a finish. The contractors
have been delayed considerably by
rains, and in securing material at
the proper time but notwithstanding
these hindrances, they will have the
buildings ready for use by the first
of September.
W. J. <fc E. C. Palmour will occupy
the buildings formerly occupied by
Jake Sacks and Charles Castleberry,
while Allen Bros, move into the
Palmour Hardware old stand. Just
what the building vacated by these
firms will be utilized lor has not yet
been made public.
These are good buildings, with
plenty of display room, and commo
dious diplay windows, and that these
firms will do well in their new quar
ters is a certainty.
Facts Concerning Main Street
Paving.
The Statement of L. B. West, of
the West Construction Co., that the
City Council of Gainesville, Georgia,
has invested SIO,OOO in patent rights
is absolutely False. The West Con
struction Co. did not make us a bid
on bitulithic paving, guaranteeing
what it would cost the city for them
to put it down. The Council offered
to trade with them on bitulithic if
they would guarantee by putting up
a check for $1,200 that their bid
would be less than the Atlantic Bitu
lithic Co., to whom the contract was
awarded. They would not do it.
neither would they guarantee that
they could get the right to put it
down at all. That being the case,
we no longer considered their bid on
bitulithic. The City Council has
awarded this contract to a perfectly
reliable company. In this, as in
every other improvement we propose
making, our actions shall be gov
erned by wbat we think is to the
best interest to the city.
The aboveis a true brief statement
of facts. What business is it of L.
B. West as to why and how Gaines
ville does things? And what we do
isjopen to inspection by each and
every citizen of our town, but we
don’t propose being slandered by L.
B. West or anyone else who might
seek to enter our city which is known
to be free from graft.

she set the time for us to marry, and
she did not do what she promised
and I am going to hold the license
and if she violates the law I will
push it. The license was issued in
Habersham county. May 25. 1912.

Baldheads.
More Women are Bald than
Men, Says Authority.
This is a startling statement, but
it's true, according to an article pub
lished in a standard magazine this
year.
One thing is certain: PARISIAN
SAGE will surely prevent baldness
by stopping the hair from falling, but
it won't grow hair after the head is
bald.
Ladies, look after your hair: de
stroy the dandruff germs with PA
RISIAN SAGE, and dandruff will
disappear. It stops scalp itch over
night, and is guaranteed to be the
most refreshing, refined and agreea
ble hair dressing that can be ob
tained. Sold by Dr. J. B. George and
druggists all over America for 50c.
‘‘My hair was falling out. and I was
troubled with itching scalp. I re
ceived no benefit until 1 tried PA
RISIAN SAGE.’ —Mrs. Geo. Thun

His Ninety-fourth Birthday.
The friends of Uncle Willis Staton
are cordially invited to meet at his
home on the 31st of July to celebrate
his 94th birthday.
Uncle Willis is in good health for
a man of his age, though he is fast
on the decline of life.
There will be some religious servi
ces, after which will be spread a
dinner furnished by those who meet
on that special occasion.
Let’s go, one and all. with well
filled baskets, and for no other pur
pose than to make that day the hap
piest day of the year for those old
people. Let's not wait till they are
gone and then cover their graves
with wreaths of flowers, but let’s
strew some of the flowers in their
life's pathway while they are yet
with us.
May the richest blessings ever be
upon them!
Sincerely,
R. W. Adams.
The first year of its operation at
tests the success of the Georgia
game law,from a financial standpoint
at least. State Game Warden J. E.
Mercer has paid all expenses of put
ting the law in operation, together
with contingent expenses, agid has
$13,801.78 to turn over to the public
school fund. The law has only been
in operation about nine months, and
with all departments of the Fish and
Game commission working smoothly
a larger revenue may be expected
next year. No doubt some amend
ments to the law are necessary to
to make it more effective and these
will probably be provided by the
Legislature.
