ASHBURN, Ga., Aug. 14.—The old Gulf Line shops owned by the Ashburn Lum ber company was burned a few nights ago about 1:30 a. m.

His Hearing Was Restored Veteran Musician Could Not Hear His Beloved Cornet Tells How Deafness Was Overcome Below is a picture of Henry Farrar, a ' veteran who is a natural born musician, and whose cornet has helped his ca reer. With the approach of old age and the infliction of various disorders, he gradually became more and more deaf until he could not hear his own cornet which he had been accustomed to play on various occasions throughout the year. He also became harassed with those head noises which so often ac company the advancement of deafness. This infirmity distressed Mr. Farrar greatly. He is a man of activity despite his age—in fact, he looks much younger now than the 70 years that he is. fl The loss of his hearing was a sad misfortune and the future looked very dark. Os course, Mr. Farrar had tried one thing after another; he had fol lowed medical advice, had consulted specialists and had adopted various de vices and remedies, (spending much money) but all to no avail. He felt that he was doomed to end his life in that melancholic stillness which is dreaded by all who are inclined toward deafness. ABLE TO HBAB PEBrECTLY. Mr. Farrar has always been popular, and his frienus were exceedingly sym pathetic, but even these kind sentiments did not appease his dejection. One day, however, he happened to learn of a sim ple and harmless home self-treatment method, which he decided to try. He did not have much hope, because he had been disappointed in his previous attempts. Yet in this case, to his sur prise and joy, he found that his hearing began to improve almost Immediately, and it continued until he became so well that he has been able to do jury duty, listening to the various witnesses and the court proceedings. FREE TO DEAF PEOPLE. Mr. Farrar is so delighted with the manner in which he was liberated from the thraldom of deafness and head noises, as well as the way in which his health was generally improved, that he is giving information about this wonder ful treatment to all who write him and will cheerfully send full particulars of how his own hearing was restored, also telling how others may get the same treatment. It is only necessary to write to Mr. Henry A. Farrar, 113-D. Washington street, Hanover, Mass., en closing a stamped envelope for reply- Persons of all ages—men, women and children —have followed the information given by Mr. Farrar, and cures of deaf ness have been reported after all else has failed. _ Southern CondMons wag year at the outside more than three-fourths of a crop, the corn crop is practically in the same fix and naturally high prices can be expected for cotton and corn, but as crop failure is never known in the south there is always a good living to be made, if no big percentage of profit every year. With the scarcity of poultry and eggs of all kinds prices are better than I have ever know:: at this season of the year and there is a great demand for all poultry products. The fancy poultry breeder, as a rule, is doing more business this summer than in previous years and good specimens are selling for their wotrh. There are so many more people now than in former years breeding thoroughbred poultry over the entire south that they continue to buy new blood, want nothing but the best and are wiling to pay the price for it. are in the business and will stay, and more attention is being paid at the present time to raising poul try and eggs for home use by not only the city people but the Southern farmers than has ever been done before. The high price of all food prod ucts has forced the people to this and most people who are keeping chick ens over the South now are using thoroughbreds in preference to scrubs. As there will be a large number of first class fairs and shows over the entire South this season it naturally means that a big demand is in sight for the man who can furnish the winners. Winning birds will find many buyers in the South this year. There is being established in Alabama now at Satsuma, near Mobile, a new colony. Large groves of Satsuma oranges and pecans and a model poultry colony. Large groves of Satsuma oranges and pecans and a model around Mobile during the coldest winter months is very similar that of California. The people over the entire South are eating more poultry and eggs than ever before and they are largely taking the place of high priced western meats and packing house products that the Soutn has been so de pendent on. As demand and supply usually fix the price, it has natur ally brought about profitable prices for the Southern poultry products. Georgia has now in operation a splendid poultry department at its State Agricultural College, and the Experiment Station also has a poultry department in operation. The Agrcultural College has in Professor Jones a bright, wide awake, live young poultry expert that will do much towards helping the poultry industry of the South, and in Professor Rolph at the Georgia Experiment Station we have a man with more experience and a fair appropriation to operate on and all Georgians should leel proud to know that the poultry Industry is receiving more attention than ever be fore, and much valuable information which can be had through these channels will be Imparted to the poultry breeders. QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. I am having all sorts of trouble with my chickens so I come to you for help. First my chickens were on unlimited range of cotton, corn and oak woods, put on same at two months old. Gradually changed feed from mashes, etc., to scratch feed twice a day, then to once a day, 3:30 p. m. on corn and wheat. I had 200 of as fine pullets as I ever saw. I also used permanganate of potash and copperas in drinking water— rounts were cleaned regularly and before them all the time. First symptoms is a full crop in the morning: seems to be very much in flamed. At first, opening them seemed to relieve them but now it seems to hasten death. The first one I found in this fix I opened the crop and cleaned it out and she has recovered. Next morning three more in the same fix, and two more died before night, so I yarded all of them that night and next morning found ten in the same fix so I gave each one six drops of turpentine and strong salts water; all seem to be recovering ex cept one, which died. The next morn ing I found about 30 in same fix. gave them the same treatment but 17 died before night and the remainder seem no better and this morning I find about 40 In the same fix- Now, as soon as I yarded them I gave them all salts to clean them out and cut out all feed, but a very small amount scratch feed three times a day. Cleaned out every thing, yards and houses and disin fected them (which I do regularly) and remove every sick one as soon as I find them. Since giving them salts their dropping are jelly looking sub stance —green and sometimes a little blood. I always destroy all dead chickens, either burn or bury them deep; or any other filth I find on the place. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Please reply by return mail. Wishing you best of success in your work, W. D. CONEY, Powder Springs, Ga. ANSWER. There Is something that your chick ens have gotten hold of that has completely upset their systems and it would be best for you to change their feed back to the same thing that you were giving them before and discontinue giving scratch food altogether. Equal parts of bran, shorts and corn meal with 10 to 15 per cent beef scrap and some charcoal mixed in same would be a good feed and should be kept before them daily all the time in hoppers and twice a week you should give them either Barker's or Black Draught stock powders. This should be mixed with the above and made into a stiff mash and fed in a trough. Discontinue giving -salts, also permanganate of potash. Use a different vessel from what you arc now using, an earthen vessel would be better, or galvanized pans, and every other day add one half teaspoonful of carbolic acid to two gallons of water. See that this water is kept cool and that the chickens drink it. It will take careful feeding to get their digestive organs back in good condition. They should have kept before them at all times plenty of oyster shell and coarse charcoal, where they can eat it at will, with plenty of green food chopped fine. Give them no oats unless thoroughly cooked. Use a different kind of scratch food to what you are now using and give to .them three times per week, omitting the soft feed. This scratch feed should be thorough ly soaked and give them only what they will eat up clean with a relish. New wheat when fed in great quan tities. unless thoroughly dry and not DURING July and August con ditions over the south have been very favorable to the poultryman. Late hatched chick ens have made splendid growth during these two months, and while the poultry crop (especially in Georgia l is unusually short this year on account of the rainy sea son that has been experienced, those who have been so fortunate as to raise a nice lot of chickens this year will find possibly the best list of shows and fairs in the sotuh with the largest pre miums that have ever been offered, and everything has looked much brighter for the poultryman dur ing the past two months than it has any time this season. The im mense fruit and melon crop this year has brought thousands of dol lars into the state, and while in some sections the crops have not been profitable other sections have made good money from these two crops. The cotton crop of the en tire south can not produce this moulded or damp is not good, espe cially for the sudden change. By giving this treatment you may be able to save the balance of the chickens and get them in good shape again. It is not a good idea to feed grain food late in the afternoon un less you are sure the chickens will get enough water to enable to digest it easily. Very often when salts is placed in the drinking water they will do without it as they do not like the taste. It is far better to give salts in soft food rather than in the drinking water. QUESTION. Dawson, Ga. I had four turkeys. They were peart about 12 o’clock, and at sun down they dropped their heads and were dead. They were 3 months old. I have five March chickens that were fine. They were peart in the morning and they drop their heads to the ground and can't pick it up. I have been feeding them on Willoby Stock Powders twice a day, with endive and corn at dinner. They got hold of some cotton seed meal. Answer through The Semi-Week ly what is the matter with my chickens. M. A. SHOMANS. ANSWER. Your chickens and turkeys have evidently gotten hold of some pois onous matter, and if you will treat them for limberneck you can save them. It would be a good idea to put all of your tqrkeys and chick ens up in a yard and feed them on clean feed. Put one teaspoonful of turpentine to one pint of corn meal dough and feed them. They have what is known as ptomain poison, which is caused from eating putrid matter of some- kind. QUESTION. Richwood, Ga. Will you please tell me what is the trouble with my chickens? The head of some of my hens swell up, and they wheeze. and droop up kinder like the cholera, but haven’t the other symptoms. Haven't any of my hens died yet. They get over it in two or three days, but some of the young chickens died. Will tomatoes and fruit cause such troubles? They go in the garden and eat tomatoes every day. Please give me a remedy. Thank ing you in advance, I am, W. L. DIXON. ANSWER. Your chickens have a cold, or roupe. You should use one-half grain of pomanginate of potash to one gallon of drinking water, or Conkey’s Roupe cure, in their drink ing water. They should be kept out of the damp grass early in the morning, and should sleep in a place where there is no draught or where they do not get too hot at night. Eating the tomatoes would not cause this trouble. I as a raiser of hogs and chickens will appreciate some information that 1 am sure you can give me. This summer the cholera got among my hogs and I was advised to get serum furnished by the government for inoculation. Now what I want to know is if there is any charges made for this serum and if there is, about what is the price per quart? I will say that I have al ready used the serum, but I want to get your experience and infor mation as to the price usually paid.” G. V. BARNETT. Atlanta, Ga. ANSWER. The serum now being used to pre vent hog cholera is manufactured by the State Agricultural College at Athens and can be had at actual cost by applying for same through Dr. P. G. Bauhnsen. State Veterinar ian. Atlanta. Ga. 1 as not positive but think the cost is something like 25 cents per hog. If you buy it from any of the manufacturers who have it for sale it will cost you something like $15.00 per quart but this is sufficient for twenty to twenty-five hogs. It is cheaper to get it through Dr. Bauhnsen. From all the best authorities this inoculation seems to be a per fect safeguard against cholera, or as much so as .vaccination for small pox. It usually lasts about six months and the majority of the hog breeders over the country are now using this as a safeguard. It is useless to inoculate your hogs af ter they have the disease as it will not cure it but they should be inoc ulated before hand and one of the greatest troubles is that most peo ple will put it oft until it is too late. However, thousands of hogs portance of doing this work and al most before they know it it is too late However, thousands of lioge have been saved by inoculation even after the first symptoms of cholera appeared in the herd. It is not best to delay this work but should be done regularly every six months and I don’t think anyone who keeps a herd of hogs can afford not to use this precaution. Eufaula. Ala., I have two White Minorca hens that have a bad case of bumble foot. I will appreciate it very much if you can give me a remedy for it I 'am told by some old breeders that it cannot be cured. This is my first trouble of this kind. Thanking you in advance for a remedy and for all past favors, I am. Very truly, H. B. KEITH. ANSWER. ’ The best thing you can do for the chicken with the bumble foot is to dip its foot twice a day in a so lution of one part Naptholeura to ten parts water, and keep it on straw or a soft floor. Do not let it roost upon a roost. NASHVILLE.
