Everything was dar kened on the vessel. Not a match could be struck on deck. It had been told her that a match lighted on an ex posed place of the ship had been seen for a mile. No passenger can go on deck to smoke. The Zeppelins have been crossing aloft tn her part of England. A few weeks ago bombs were dropped within eight miles on a munition factory.

Nothing cheers a traveler more than to watch the lights gleam out in the hamlets and farm houses of our country after twilight as they roil along. There are English ordinances in force, where loaded fast trains are stopped en route in England, stopped for hours when the airplanes are dropping fre quent bombs. They run in the darkness and the passengers must possess their souls in patience until the liberty to start again is granted.

It is these hasty and unwise matings which keep the divorce courts in full blast and which not only entail much expense upon the unhappy parties but which generally wreck their happiness for perhaps all time .to come. Many times it so happens that outsiders do the matchmaking and by over persuasion, the parties are led along into wedded misery. There are also correspondence marriages, that seem to me. entirely out of place, because there is absolute nec essity for personal acquaintance in this business—if personal acquaintance is ever needed in any place for any pur pose. I know of a splendid family of young men and women, who were made aware that they would have a stepmoth er, when the next train reached their town, and strange to say, the fool fath er had been a good husband to hist first wife, and a man of extraordinary busi ness sense, but he was caught by an ad vertisement and fell to it. I knew of another which had to be shortly dissolved for prudential reasons —so rash —so hasty and so unwise was the young woman who fell in the net. I knew of a courting case—that is being pressed on a girl, by silly relatives and I’ do wish it lay in my power or privilege to warn the girl who is in danger. The time is here when no industrious girl is obliged to marry—to keep from being an old maid, or to get a home for herself. Scores of industries and positions are begging for young women of good character and efficiency. Single blessedness is always better than wedded misery.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1917. OH & An»ew ft. souLt This department will cheerfully endeavor to furnlsn any information. Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president State Agri cultural College. Athens. Ga. *. HANDLING MILK AND RIPENING CBEAM Fats have become one of the great essential necessities in the winning of world war. In this country of a super-abundance of everything needed for man and beast we have not thought it necessary to either save or conserve fats until recently. The high price which vegetable oils and butter now command, however, has directed our at tention to this subject in a very em phatic manner. As a matter of fact we are producing a very considerable amount of milk in Georgia which we are attempting to handle for butter produc tion without that degree of success which we should reasonably anticipate. The trouble is due to the fact that the milk and cream is not properly pre pared for churning and hence the but ter derived therefrom is of an inferior quality and sells therefore at a dis count of from 10c to 50c a pound as compared with western butter. More over, the farmer is ‘only obtaining from his milk and cream about two thirds of the butter fat. The loss tn this direction is simply appalling and an attempt has, therefore, been made in this article to advise farmers how to save and handle milk and cream in order that it may be ripened properly for churning and a first-class quality of butter obtained therefrom. Good milk or cream properly handled produces good butter. No one ?an make good butter from dirty, off-flav ored milk or cream. As the milk or cream is, so the butter will be. Much of the dirt from the cow’s body, which commonly falls into the ordinary milk pail during milking, may be kept out of the milk by using a covered pail. Churning whole milk should be dis couraged on account of the greater loss of butter in the buttermilk and because better butter can be made from cream. The principles of churning, however, are the same in both cases. The thermometer should be the dairy man’s compass. Without it he is lost. No one can guess at the temperature either for the “turning” or churning of milk or cream, and make good butter. The writer ventures to say that every person who reads this has churned two hours before the butter came. Like wise every one has churned in ten min utes and got butter which looked more like pound-cake dough than good but ter. In the latter case the quantity of butter left in the buttermilk was large and in a year would have bought sev eral thermometers. A thermometer costs only 50 cents and saves money and time. When accuracy replaces guesswork, good butter and good prices will be the rule and not the exception, as is now the case with the great bulk of country butter. Any make of churn that does not contain a dasher or paddle device on the inside will give satisfaction. The barrel churn and the swing churn are easy to handle and convenient because each has a hole near the bottom through which buttermilk and wash water can be drawn from the churn. Do not buy a churn because of claims to the ef fect that butter will come in from 3 to 5 minutes, for butter made in that time is sure to be of poor quality and probably the milk or cream was churn ed too warm. While excellent butter can be made in the old-fashioned dash er churn, it is unhandy. Very often the glazing of earthen ware vessels scales off and lets milk or cream into the porous substance, where it sours and decays, giving a bad odor and flavor to the buttes. For these reasons such utensils should not be used. A shotgun can is much superior to earthenware jars or churns as r milk container, because it is lighter to handle and can be kept clean. A strainer is necessary for straining the cream or milk in the churn to re move lumps and again for straining the buttermilk to prevent the loss of butter. A butter worker is a great help !n making good butter. Fiber brushes for cleaning utensils are more satisfactory than cloths, do better work, and are more easily kept clean. Milk and cream should be soured or “turned" at 65 or 70 degrees Fathren heit, because at that temperature the bacteria which gives butter the right flavor grow best and tend to prevent the growth of germs which, if allowed to grow, give the butter a bad flavor. In judging butter the flavor counts almost as much as everything else, whicn shows how necessary it is to use a thermometer and know that we have the proper temperature. Many people have trouble in getting milk or cream to sour in the winter. The common practice in most hornet is to set the vessel of milk or cream near the fireplace turning occasionally to keep it from getting too hdt on the side nearest the Are. The trouble with this system is that the milk does not really get warm through and through. The cream near the center remains cold. Only when the whole mass of milk or cream gets warm enough will it sour quickly. To warm the cream thorough ly. set the vessel in another one con taining hot water and stir the cream until the thermometer shows that it is warm enough—7o degrees F. Why is hot water better than the hot air from the Are? Because water is a good con, ductor of heat and will warm milk or cream more than 21 times as fast as air of the same temperature. If the milk or cream is brought to 70 degrees zp/Y ROOFING / MATERIALS z JI Z7 No. I Roof Coating pots = new life into old composition E i rrwfings.

Usually from 12 to 18 hours are required for it to begin to clabber and take on a glossy velvety appear ance. It is then ready to be churned. The practice of keeping milk or cream by the fire ip the living room or bedroom cannot be too strongly con demned. In warm weather after the milk is brought to 70 degrees F. it may be set on the porch or in any warm, airy room which is not occupied. In cold weather a blanket or some papers should be wrapped about the cream ves sel to help retain the heat. A second and even more important reason for keeping milk and cream out of living rooms and the bedrooms is that milk forms an ideal place for disease germs to grow and, if they get into the milk, make the butter and buttermilk posi tively dangerous. Typhoid fever, diph theria and many other diseases are spread in this way. During ripening or “turning” milk or cream should be thoroughly stirred two or three times, to keep it smooth and prevent the formation of lumps. “But,' so many will say, “the whey will eat up the butter.” There are two causes for the “wheying off” trouble. First, milk or cream that gets too sour before being qLurned tends to “whey off.' Ssecond, the use of dirty milk vessels or those not steamed or scalded thor oughly cause most of this trouble. A thick, heavy clabber is not necessary for successful .churning. The milk need be only slightly sour, or mildly acid when it Is ready for churning. THE WORK OF A COUNTY AGENT. Below.our readers will find a short sum marized statement of what one county ag ricultural agent was able to accomplish in a single county during the year 1917. .It is self-evident that a man who can per form this sort of service work., is bne of the county’s most important and essential assets. ORGANIZATIONS: The work began February 19, 1917. The first work, which required a year, was to get ac quainted with the county and its peo ple. This was done through organiza tions. By organizing the children in the schools into clubs, and the farm ers in the community organizations. Farmers’ clubs were organized at Du rand, Odessadale, Stovall, Gay. Alva ton, Woodbury, Raleigh, and Manches ter. One hundred and thirty farmers pledged to give personal co-operation in this work. Two hundred and fifty one school children were enrolled in clubs promising to grow an acre of corn or feed a pig or calf. LIVE STOCK DEVELOPMENTS: In the encouragement of better live stock the following breeds have been brought into the county: 19 pure bred Aber deen Angus, 18 pure bred Holstein, 16 Hereford. 7 Short Horn, 87 pure bred hogs of the following breeds: Hamp shires, Berkshires, Durocks: 10 dip ping vats were built and charged, 4 silos and one barn planned and built. In checking the spread of hog cholera, 750 hogs were inoculated, and five out breaks of hog cholera were checked that would have spread over a larger area of the county, resulting in consid prahlp InsjM * COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIES: In the encouragement of velvet bean acreage, it was necessary to encourage indus tries to care for this crop, resulting in placing six large commercial feed mills and two small mills in the coun ty. One canning factory and curing house for sweet potatoes has been in stalled. FARM MACHINERY: Through the encouragement of better farm machin ery, 32 harvesting machines for har vesting velvet beans a.nd two farm tractors have been placed- in the county. CAMPAIGN WORK: A campaign was made to inform the farmers of the destructiveness of the boll wevil, ad vising them to make every effort to make their farms self-sustadning. The second campaign was to encourage the farmers to pick up and destroy the first appearing weevil. The third campaign was a campaign for more foodstuff. Through this campaign every church was filled with a speaker to warn the farmers of the great shortage of food stuff and to encourage them to plant more food crops. The fourth campaign was for more wheat, every commun ity was visited and great stress put en urging the farmer to plant more wheat, and it is safe to say that the acreage will be increased 400 per cent. FARMERS’ MEETINGS: Through the organization of the Farmers’ club, 81 meetings were held and 81 lectures giv en, bringing a message on better farm ing to a total attendance of 3,922 farm ers. SUMMARY OF WORK. The statistics given below are taken from my weekly reports sent to the department, and will give in detail gen eral summary of work: Farmers called at office 477 Letters written 918 Special circulars sent out 580 Bulletins mailed . 668 Club members visited 216 Schools visited • 54 Special visits to farmers 312 Meetings held 81 Attendance at these meetings ...3,922 Telephone calls 286 Miles traveled by rail 3,322 Miles traveled by auto 4,049 Total value of thoroughbred live stock introduced $18,030.00 Total value of farm machinery introduced 6,330.00 Capital stock of commercial industries established 24,700.00 COUNTY FAIR: The culmination of the work -was brought to a close with a tri-county fair, held in Manchester, November 1, 2 and 3. It was planned to make this fair a, place of education and of amusement. Three great lectures were delivered by Dr. V. L. Vaser, of Washington, D. C., on food conservation; Professor Mil ton P. Jarnagin, State College of Ag riculture, on live stock; Hon. J. J. Brown, commissioner of agriculture, on feeding the allies. The products on exhibition were of the highest class and quality, and brought praises from everyone who vis ited the ground. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) G. E. RICE. County Agricultural Agent. PLANTING EARLY CROP IRISH , POTATOES L. L. Thomasville, Ga., writes: J have seven-eighths of an acre that I want to nlsnt to Irish potatoes in the early spring. What should be done to the soil byway of preparation > Can wood asbes be need to advantage? What variety do yon recom mend? What can I use to fight the wee vil? is south Georgia adapted to Bermuda onions? When should they be planted? Wbat fertiliser should be nsed? In getting land ready for planting an early crop of Irish potatoes it will be good practice to break it as soon as possible. After this is done you should enrich it as completely as you can with Our Household THE TESTAMENT FUND The top of the morning to ye! and may your shadow never grow less. Last week I told you about our cold, cold weather. And I am here to tell you that it has been just as bad for a whole week. The cold weather for three days froze the ground and a steady snow all of Tuesday covered everything and is still a white blanket over Mother Earth. I have invariably tried to see the best side of things, and in this freezing time I have rejoiced in the fact that old Boreas keeps out of the way and that no rain falls. The sun came out Saturday. Stella and I decided to try the road to Tus cumbia. The mercury registered 14. but we put on our heaviest clothes, put newspapers' under our coats and had a .toot warmer and did not suffer half as much as we anticipated. I told Stella that the bridge was not half as bad as we expected it to be. The mind has a tremendous influence on the body, consequently It behooves all of us to “be strong, be of good courage." The road was as hard as concrete. I drove a young mare that has not been in harness a year. She was not alto gether pleased with her shadow on tlie snow, literally was “afraid of her shad ow,” but I talked to her and we got along splendidly, and \wlien I got to Tuscumbia I took her to the stables and asked the man to see that she was comfortable. Some of you may not know about the big spring, as large as a city lot, that is fight in the town. There is a steep decline to its edge and all the way dow nare hitching posts. Saturday with the thermometer as low as it was there were dozens of teams right there where the icy breath could almost freeze them, and very, very few had blankets over them. The Farmer had planned to kill hogs last week, but decided it was too cold. The snow fell Tuesday and the sunshine Wednesday made him think that about Thursday would be the right time. Two of hie hogs had become so burdened with fat that they could hardly see. Thursday was a beautiful day, and the hogs were killed. At 3 o’clock the men were gone and the hogs were blocked out and in the smokehouse. But The Farmer had reckoned without his host. The weather took a turn, and right now every piece of meat is frozen to the shelves he put it on. We have had spare ribs and backbone, but it is be cause that much was brought in at the beginning. Today Laura has become desperate over her fat. that she had taken so much pains to “rid" properly, and is melting the water she put it in and is going to cook it today. That yard manure or other material contain ing a considerable amount of humus such as partly decayed leaves or the re fuse of farm yard. These materials can be used to advantage for this purpose. Several tons per acre will not be too much to .apply. After this material has been plowed under and the ground prop erly broken, harrow it down and lay off in deep furrows about 3 feet apart. In the early spring, say about the first of February, work out these rows lightly, put in the bottom thereof the fertilizer consisting of equal parts of cotton seed meal and acid phosphate at the rate of 500 pounds per acre. You may use any other carrier of nitrogen which appeals to you and which will supply this ele ment at the same relative cost as the cotton seed meal. The fertilizer should be mixed with the sub-soil and should not come directly in contact with the potato sets. If you wish to use wood ashes broad cast them over the land and do not mix with the other fertilizer. Unless it is very sandy the fertilizer is not likely to be lost on account of leaching. The Irish Cobbler, Bliss, Triumph and Lookout Mountain are all standard va rieties of potatoes for cultivation in your section of the state. We have grown all of these with profit and suc cess. Potatoes at the season of the year when they are generally planted, should show viable eyes. It is not necessary to sprout them before plant ing. Cut to two eyes to the piece and plant as soon as cut. Drop the sets about 25 to 18 inches apart in the drill, cultivate lightly and frequency and throw some earth to the potatoes as they grow. Beetles may be fought to some advan tage by using Paris Green. A dry mix ture of Paris Green which is effective may be made up through the use of 1 pound of Paris Green and 15 pounds of finely crushed lime rock dust. Scatter this on the potato tops when they are wet with dew and repeat as often as necessary to keep the beetles in check. Picking on a small area of land is of ten desirable. There is no reason why you should not grow Bermuda onions in the south ern part of Georgia. As a rule it is best to plant the seed in early October. The sets of course can be put out at almost any time from now on. The rows should be made about 18 inches apart and cultivation as a rule should be done by hand. I believe the White Bermuda is a favorite though of course the yellow and red can also be cultivat- ; ed to advantage. It is essential that j the ground'be thoroughly enriched with well rotted manure. There is nothing better than chicken manur/ for this purpose. This should be well incorpor ated with the soil. Then an abundant supply of nitrogen and phosphorus should be used as well. A heavy ap plication of ashes to ground intended for this crop would be an advantage.

I wonder how the chickens, as a gen eral thing, are getting on? The Farmer told me of some one’s fine rooster with comb and wattles frozen. That is cruel. I feed my chickens and keep them up. But this sort of weather the poor things do not know what to do. Those at the barn have not ventured on the snow. I have sixteen beautiful youngsters out there, and they stay in a big box most of the time. The Farmer sees that the turkeys and that lot of chickens are fed and watered, and I look after the flock up here. I have a 16x16 foot house and a small er one, in different yards. Both were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the first of this month. I got a lot of chaff and put in both houses, feed the flocks in that and get as many eggs as I would if the weather were milder. With everything frozen I’ve had to buy cab bage for them, but a pound of cabbage goes a long way. I meant to set some hens, had them ready for the eggs, bus I don’t believe that healthy chicks would come from eggs set now. This is the time for us to talk of Christmas, but I hope that the chil dren will be the only ones to receive presents this year.
