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 ?

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. P. N. Parker,. Cbm. Street Com. P.|E. B. Robertson,, Mayor. —- Trouble with a Fickle Female.

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.
