Early Corn.
Question. —I am a new citizen of
your state, having moved from Michi¬
gan, and want some information. I
wish to plant a few acres in an early
variety of corn for feed, what would you
recommend, and where can I get the
eeed? For a general crop I can get some
fine seed corn from Virginia or Missouri;
would you advise me to use this, or the
^answer—T here ^re many varieties
G f early corn and each has its advocates.-
I prefer for South Georgia, the seotion
in which you Uve-the “Golden Dent.”
Feb. )' ou 15 catl to P lant 20, and i( m on good ct >“ land, nt y from
or on
poor land well fertilized, you can count
on its making a fair crop. Plant in 1 %
feet rows, and 3 feet in the drill, one
stalk to the hill. This corn will mature
in time to be followed by a crop of field
peas, or sweet potatoes. Yon can buy
the “Golden Dent,” from any seed store
in our cities or towns. As to
y 0nr general crop of corn with seed
from Missouri or Virginia, I advise
against it Get a good seed corn from
any of your neighbors, and with it you
will make a better crop than with seed
brought from Missouri. Afterwards,
improve your seed, annually, by passing
through your cornfield before gathering
thecrop, and selecting for seed the best
ear from those stalks that have two or
more ears. By this plan you will soon
add materially to the yield per acre. —

mq act
It is an undoubted fact that cattle are
scarcer than a year ago, while feed is
abundant,
The practice is gaining of cooking food
for stock.
Yon lose a most valuable fertiliser
when yon permit the droppings of the
hennery to go to waste
Watering the stock regularly is an im¬
portant item in winter.
When there is plenty of straw, nse it
as a lining for the walls of wood sheds
for stock. It will exclude the cold
winds. —Exchange.
Future Sheep Industry in Haber¬
sham County.
Western New York, West Vir¬
ginia, portions of Ohio, Kansas,
and Texas, are especially adapted
to sheep-raising; but, with the ex¬
ception of the Guadaloupe region,
in Texas, we do not believe the all
’round conditions are anywhere in
this country more favorable than in
Habersham County. Besides our
equable climate, where the winds
are mildly tempered to the shorn
sheep, we have rich browsing lands
abundantly watered, nutritious and
strong grasses, forest-fruit, shelter¬
ed pastures, and wooded hills In
spite, however, of plainly appar¬
ent advantages, nothing has hereto¬
fore been done to introduce or to
develope the sheep industry. Our
hills should be covered with flocks,
and can be, if the farmers will
make a practical effort on their
part now, by getting together a
sufficient body of lands for a sheep
colony. Estimates of cost have
been made in the southern part of
Georgia, showing an annual net
profit of from forty-five to ninety
per cent on investments. Bermuda
grass and turnips will fatten sheep,
at the least average of cost, and one
hundred sheep will, says Govenor
Northen, fertilize eight acres in one
year so as to increase a crop to thv
extent of one hundred per cent.
Heretofore, the changes in the
tariff on foreign wools have had an
effect upon the native industry dir¬
ectly opposed to the effect intended
The native wool is inferior to the
long Australian, the Scotch, Eng¬
lish, and Irish, ours being also short.
To enable the American manu-
facturer to produce fabrics of equal
appearance and durability, these
long foreign wools must be mixed
with our short wools ; but the high
protective tariff will not permit this,
and hence we see millions of dollars
annually going abroad for the better
foreign ‘ goods, and a consequent 1
languishing . of . the . wool-growing , .
ffidustrv at home A nominal duty
on raw material above specified
would soon revive it, and within a
f ew years we should have millions
of gh ‘ nort h e ast Georgia. In
„„ our r °' vn corner we r can ., n take f . „ care „ ot f
100,000 ; and even under present
conditions w r e can make sheep-rais-
ing a most profitable industry here.
The local organization recently
formed for development will soon
take up this proposition.

measles In Hogs.
Question.— I had a sow that had piers
in the early fall. Soon afterwards she
got down in the loins and I put her up
to fatten. She then commenced and
continued breathing hard, but seemed
to thrive and fatten. Upon killing her
I found the meat full of small lumps
about the size of No. 2 squirrel shot, and
each little lump had a sack around it
full of clear water. The lumps were all
through the heart also. What would
you call the disease and could it have
been cured?
Answer. —Your hog was troubled
with what is called measles. “This dis¬
ease in hogs results from small internal
parasites which are embryo forms of the
common tape-worm, being caused by
eating the egg of the common tape¬
worm of man. Measiey pork is unfit
r g u r.
sure to cause tape-worms, as the eating
of trichina infected pork will cause
trichina. It is a well known fact that
dogs are subject to tape-worms, probably
from eating raw flesh, hence they void
the eggs of this parasite, and if swine
eat their excrement they will be liable
to become infected. Allow.ng hogs to
eat the excrement of other animals is a
fruitful cause of this disease. Raw flesh,
such as the refuse from slaughter houses
should never be fed to hogs, as it may
contain the embryo tape-worms, and
will be liable to produce measles in the
hogs that eat it. This disease soldom
proves fatal to hogs, though it is gener¬
ally regarded as incurable. It is more
easily prevented than cured. If, how¬
ever, taken in the early stages, daily
small doses of sulpher, saltpetre, or ep-
som salts be given for two or three
weeks, with a liberal supply of whole¬
some, nutritious and easily digested
food, the eggs might be passed from the
stomach and bowels, but this is by no
means certain. ’ ’ The foregoiug is taken
from Flint’s American Farmer, a most
excellent authority. The symptoms of
this disease make it easily distinguish¬
able; the animal coughs, is feverish, on
examining the skin watery pimples or
pustules of a reddish color will be found.
There is a weakness of the hind legs,
and sometimes a discharge from the
eyes and nose. Any curative treatment
will be useless, except in the very earli¬
est stage of the disease.—State Agricul¬
tural Department.

Question. —Iu breaking a colt to har¬
ness would yon advise me to use a blind
bridle of not?
Answer. —Most horsemen are strongly
opposed to the use of “blinders,” a 3
they are called, claiming that in a great
many cases they cause disease of the
eyes, and not infrequently blindness.
Besides this, a horse is more easily
frightened when he has on a blind bri¬
dle, because of the fact that he gets a
distorted view of objects by the road-
side, when without the “blinders” he
would see clearly every passing object,
and find no cause for fright. Loud,
startling noises are also apt to frighten
the animal whose eyes are covered with
blinds. Hearing the noise, but not be¬
ing able to see what makes it, he nat¬
urally imagines something terrible is
after him, and just as naturally runs to
get away from it. No one can give any
good reason for using blind bridles, and
my advice is, never put one on your
colt, and you are more apt to make a
gentle auimal of him than by use of the
“blinders. ”—State Agricultural Depart-
ment

It took place in a little overgrown town
in the far west.
The man from the east had waited for
two hours and 17 minutes for an electric
ear.
When it arrived at last, and he had
climbed aboard, he asked the conductor as
he*paid his fare, “Noaccidents this morn¬
ing?”
“None, sir,” replied the official.
“Running on schedule time?”
“We are.”
“Nothing the matter with the genera¬
tors?”
“Nc« €% thing.”
The questioner paused a moment. Then
he asked, “Well, would you mind telling
me just how far apart these dashed oars
run, then?”
“Not at all, sir!” replied the man In
blue. “Every If miles.”
“Every 17 miles?” repeated the eastern¬
er. “How do you mean?”
“Track’s 17 miles long, and this is the
only car.”
Then the man from the east was satis
fled.-— Philadelphia Inquirer.
