support Candler. It has some sense

Hon. Howard Thompson of Hall,
W has announced -in non need bis his candidacy candid tcv for for
congress from the old ninth. We
will give his announcement in full
in next weeks Record. Carter
Tate has no walk-over in the an-
nouncement of Thompson.
Another fool gone wrong. The
New York Journal has concluded
that it is bigger than tlie Democrat¬
ic party and this week turns on W.
Jennings Bryan, whom it support¬
ed in the last presidential campaign
and says “Bryan is too small a man
for the cause known by his name.
The fact is the Journal is too
small and insignificant to cause Mr.
Bryan or his supporters any loss of
sleep.
Look out for Col. Candler’s an-
nouncement for governor at any
day. It may come in a speech or a
letter to a personal friend in Jack-
son county. We can say one thing
without breach of confidence, and
that is that when the people of
Georgta „ • reads , the announcement a
they will read one of the best state
papers ever emulated . , c trom a r-
gian, and that is saying a great
deal.
It is possible that from week to
week, in future, we will have
an article from the pen of a fluent,
prolihe and sincere writer, whose
aim in life is to do good and help
his fellew man to a higher and bet¬
ter life. He intends to found a col¬
ony—with the co-operation of
others—of people who will work
on the co-operation plan,—to its
happy conclusions in its highest
sense—but at the same time each
man enjoys that which occrues to
him by honest labor. The co-oper¬
ation will exist mainly in production
and sale of this production. These
articles will, from week to week, be
enlarged upon, and, we promise
some wholesome reading,—good for
both mind and body,—the fruition
of which, after all, may be nearer
our grasp than we dare hope.
Against Combinations.
We have from time to time heard
a great deal about political com¬
binations in Georgia, about
men who join their political forces
in order to help each other into of-
fice.
That 1 hat such sairh (flipmes schemes h hasc u-P often
been attempted m Georgia and
that they have succeeded sometimes
is not to be denied.
But we do not think the present
is an auspicious time for po li, ica l
combines in this state.
In our opinion a suspicion tha,
he is playing any such game would
prove fatal to the chances . of , any
candidate for governor this year.
That candidate who. possessing ^
other . ^unifications .. for the office.
and who by his past record and
present attitude is believed .0 he
frees, from the habit and tendency
of making deals for office will
mend himself most favorably to the
*
Democrats of c Georgia. „ . In select-
ing their candidate for governor
they will act with reference to that
office alone and without regard to
any slate that my be arranged to
eYrrv through “ candidates fnr office
*
—except to smash any such slate
that may come in sight.—Atlanta
Journal.
That is correct, and does it not
mean Candler?

Qkestios.-P leat. give me some ids.
of the advantages of silage over other
^°°d for stock. Is it suited to horses
and muies? I have never had any expe-
neuce in making or using it, but if what.
j hear of it is t ru®, i wou j d like to try
putting 1“ dlSon/p it up, and the te best «hi ea crops Ks/ww“j to plant
fur it. Do you th.uk it pay. for the
trouble ami expense?
Answer.— Silage is eaten by all farm
animalB bQt is peoallarIy fitted for
m il k cows. It pays, because it enables
us to put up a green Bummer crop and
keen it in confiirinn for feeding all win-
ter,'and it produce, nearly equal result,
as if fed green. Animals fed on silage
not not oniv only relish relish it it,, hut but it it will will nrndnoft produce as as
much milk and butter, or even more,
than than the the same same taucl kind of ot loader fodder in in the the ary drv
stage, because the stock will have bet-
ter appetites than tf fed entirely on the
dry food, aud are consequently more
thrifty. Oue acre iu coru will produce
as much nutritious food as several acres
iu hay. Thus it is cheaper than hay
and has besides the following advant*
age: It is a practically certain crop,
while hay is uncertain. As the proper
time to harvest any green crop for en-
silage is at maturity, before the leaves
turn brown, just 3 when the water con-
^ q{ ^ begia fco dimiu .
^ ifc f(dlowg that there is very
llttle los9 of quaut ity in preserving it as
silage, while the best part of our dried
fodder is often destroyed by unfavorable
weather before we can get it under
shelter. Any of the following crops
may be used: Corn, red clover, rye, oats,
wheat, sorghum, the millets, soja beans
and cow peas, indeed almost any green
crop may be utilized, but all things con¬
sidered corn pays 'the best. It should
be planted very thick and cut when the
ears are well formed. The whole plant
is then cut up into short lengths aud
packed in the silo, tramping down
evenly aud firmly. Unless this precau-
tiou is observed, that is, should the
leaves aud bits of stalk be unevenly dis-
tributed. the silage will become mouldy
and unfit for usa If there should be
lack of moisture when packing the
whole mass will become dry and mouldy.
This should be remedied by pouring
water over the mass during the process
of packing. Of conrse the silo must be
absolutely water and air tight, and the
contents, after being cured, bear some-
what the same relation to onr dry hays
and fodders, as canned fruit does to
dried fruit.
The daily ration .. is . about . t l , cubic .. , foot
of 8lla S 0 - Au experienced dairyman
says he gives his cows all they will eat,
from 30 to 50 pounds to each cow, and has
never experienced any bad results from
it. A small, deep silo is to be pre¬
ferred. Small because a greater depth
of silage cau be removed each day,
which is au advantage in both warm
aud cold weather. Iu warm weather
there is less loss from spoiling, and in
cold weather less injury from freezing.
The silo should be deep, because the
greater depth gives more weight, and it
is less liable to mould. At least 3 inches
should be removed for the daily feeding
in order to keep the mass iu good con¬
dition. On the whole we think the fol¬
lowing directions cover the ground for
building a well constructed silo, aud
they are the only kind that pay. A
carelessly built silo is an extravagance;
a well made one is au economy.
1. The inside walls should be smooth
and as nearly vertical as possible, there
should be no uneven edges to prevent
the uniform settling of the contents.
We have already mentioned that the
silo should be narrow and deep, rather
than wide and shallow.
2. As the moisture from the silage is
acid and tends to decav the wood well’pro the
inside of the silo should be
tected by a coat of coal tar, applied hot.
The inside of the silo should be two lay-
era of boards, the first horizontal and
placed against the studs. Over this
place a laver of the tarred paper, which
can be bought ready prepared, and last,
a i ayer ©f smooth dressed boards placed
vertically on close edges.

and that it is useless for me to attempt
to raise poultry. Do you thiuk SUCH
T C ZX wmXi ca^ujto
Answer. —Without a fnti knowledge
of your surroundings and methods it
is diffioait to auswe, your question en-
cept on general principles. It is true
that disease germs may lurk in poultry
houses from year to year and that tiiou-
gauds of cllickeus are carried off au¬
nually by these unsfispected agents. In
such cases the best plan is to tear down
the fowlhouse aud build in an entire.v
location, as far removed iron
ne nrst as possible possible-then men g give e the
house a thorough whitewashing with
iidwable'qtiautity'^f crudTcarboUcacid
b , “” mited-say . . a teacup . of .... the
acid to each gallon of limewash. Put
in new roosts and nests, and arrange
them .o that they can be taken oat aud
cleaned every few weeks. In cleaning
them a good plan is to cairy them a
8a ^ e distance from the house, brush
j them over with kerosene and then apply
a lighted match. The lire will run over
without injuring them, aud will
destroy any lice or mites ., which , . ,
ma T be iu hiding. From an expe-
neuce or several several yeais years we we nave have come come
to tbe conclusion that these destructive
P ests carry off a greater number of
chickens than actnal disease. By hav*
ing movable neats and roosts which can
be taken out in a few moments it is
much easier to give the house a thor¬
ough cleaning aud one cannot be too
careful to go into every crack aud cor¬
ner. A few of these vermin safely
lodged in an unnoticed crack will lay
the foundation for millions of others in
a very short time. We have found
kerosene a splendid agent for checking
them - aud a common watering pot for
sprinkling into the otherwise inaccessi-
ble crevices answers every purpose,
The droppiugs should not be allowed to
accumulate and become a harbor for
these myriads of insects, which, being
almost invisible to the naked eye, will
accumulate alarmingly before their
presence is even suspected. The drop¬
pings should be removed each day and
the houses kept scrupulously cleau, not
only to prevent vermin, but as a sani¬
tary measure. Where the droppiugs
are allowed to accumulat from week
to week, they give off unwholesome
gases and odors, which, being inhaled,
causes many of the diseases from which
our chickens suffer. If a layer of plas¬
ter or dry earth is spread on the floor of
the coop ail the fertilizing properties of.
the manure axe absorbed and fixed, and
if care is taken to remove aud store it
under shelter, we have a fertilizer ap¬
proaching in composition to guano,
though not so rich. Such manure com¬
posted with eight or ten times its bulk of
rich earth, will make a fertilizer of great
value for either field or garden crops.
Another prolific cause of the fatality
among young chickens is the wide-
spread cuatom of feediug them Qu raw
cornmeal dough. It should always be
cooked. Where milk is plentiful we
have found it a good plan to scald the
milk aud stir into it sufficient meal to
make a soft dough, letting it stand on
the fire long enough for the meal to be¬
come cooked, but not scorched. If wheat
bran is convenient it adds very much to
the nutriment of the mixture, and this
makes a splendid warm feed for the
cool spring mornings, when the little
chicks often become chilled. Besides
this they should be given any table
scraps, meat, fruit or vegetable trim¬
mings, aud if sweet milk aud clabber
can be spared for them they are of in¬
calculable worth in giving them a vig¬
orous aud early growth. A flock of well
kept poultry can be made the source of
a steady income, and should only euough
be raised for home use the investment
pays better than anything else which
requires the same outlay of time and
money. — State Agricultural Depart¬

Toccoa is one of the most pros¬
perous little cities in Georgia. Its
business enterprise and tireless en-
ergy have become too well known
to need extended mention. It is
the trading centei -of a largeareaof
thickley populated territory, and is
the junction innrHon of ot two two imnortautrail- impo ta

four churches afford ample oppor¬
tunity for those who wish to wor¬
ship; branches of the most impor¬

ized ; the people never go to sleep,
but keep up the hum of business
every day in the year. Tbe Toccoa

tails f q ll<- are just iimt two two miles miles awav, away, and uiu
a drive of sixteen miles through a
picturesque * region ° brings one to
Tallulah halls. And . j i besides -j these .i „
noted objects there are many spots
of charming verdure, clear, swift¬
flowing streams and abrupt hill¬
sides, massive rocks and yawning
precipices, that delight and awe
the beholder, all within two or
three miles of town.
The manufacturing interests of
the town are not many, but upon
them and other enterprises of a like
character depend, principally, the
future of the town. We have in
operation a furniture factory, which
employs from 75 to 100 hands, a
tannery which employs from 20 tc
65 hands. A cotton factory which
employs about 150 hands.
The social and business relations
of the people from the North and
from the South, who have freely
mingled together in this region,
have always been pleasant, amica¬
ble and friendly. No differences
growing out of sectional feeling
have ever been known, or ever need
occur.
The people of Georgia are warm
hearted, generous and hospitable,
and welcome sober and industrious
people who come to make homes
among them.
The negro population of Haber-
sliam county / amounts to only 13
per cent; decrease of three per
cent between 1880 and 1890. .
The town is on the great south-
ern plateau of the Blue Ridge
Mountain and lies 1090 feet above
the level of the sea. The high al-
titude ; the life-giving mountain
breezes; the numberless cool, crys-
ta ^ springs; the pure, soft water in
wells and streams, and the mild sea-
sons with their gentle changes all
combine to make this favored re;

No malaria exists, and malarial

This region is absolutely free
of yellow fever visitations. That
