One of them just issued relative to farmers and farmers in Georgia. It shows that the number of farms in this state from 1880 to 1900 increased 86,065. or 6a, 1 per cent. This is n remarkable showing for twenty years. Within this period the number of farm owners In creased 18 per cent, the remainder of the increase being represented by tenant farmers. There were in June, 1900, in this itate more than 90,000 farms oper ated by their owners against 76,000 But for more than twenty ye*rs there haa bean a steady decline in tho percentage of farm* conducted by their owners. In 1880 the per centage ot owner* who managed their lands was 55,1} in 1900 the percentage had dropped to 48.1, with corretponping increase in the percentage of tenant farmers. There has, however, been a large Increase in the number and percent age of tenants who pay rent in cash, dr stated amount of labor or farm produce, and of course, a corresponding increase in \he per centage of tenants on shares, or MJroppers,” as they are called in the country districts. There are in this state about 10, 000 more negro cash tenants than white and about 3,000 more white ahare tenants than negro tenants. A Urge majority bf the farms in Georgia, however, are operated by white farmer!, the number being 141,865 against 83,836 operated by. negroes. The average farm of the white man in (jieorgts has 174 acres and tbft avenge negroes 79 acres. r "White men opente 79 per cent wf the farm aenge of Georgia while the negroes conduct about 31 per cent of it. In northern and southern Georgia • mbjority of the farms are open- tad by their owners and the tenant system predominates in middle Georgia. In 1900 60 per cent of all the farms in the state and a little more than 75 per cent of the cotton farms were operated by tenants. White men worked 63 per cent and negroes 37 per cent. White men owned wholly or partly 54.4 per cent of the on which they worked and the rest were owned wholly or in part, by negroes. Nearly 49 per cent of farms owned by others were operated by tenants, the percentage of tenants working farms was 86.3^ for the whites, and 13.7 for the negroes. The bulletin contains other inter esting and significant information. The decrease of the number oi farm-owners is accounted for by the inornate of the cities find towns at .the expense of the rural district*. This undesirable tendanoy, how ever, is much less pronounced in Georgia than in many other states. fits* UksHst Ctks "The (Aiteit selling article I have in my store.” wihrs druggist C. T.

TO FEED CHICKENS. Walter Bernard secured a small track of land a few tAilet east of Olympia, Ore., and stocked the place with a dozen chickens. As he was compelled to be away from home during the day, he studied out a scheme for caring for his chickens during his absence, In each yard he had erected troughs to hold food for the hens, and these troughs are connected by wire with hss house. Within the house Mr. Bernard hus connected the wire with an alarm clock, with the usual battery attachment. 1 When he leaves borne in the morning he sets the alarm clock at the; hour for feeding the chickens, and by an ingenious arrangement, when the time arrives the alarm goes off, the connecting wire releases the troughs and the chickens make a rush for teed, which is spread before them as if Ms. Bernard did the job in person .«• Wsycross Journal. — A FEW — £YE OPENERS JUST FOR LUCK. 25 pounds nice clean white rice $1.00 20 “ Granulated Sugar 1.00 5 “ Calico 1.00 Henry Grady Flour, per barrel 4:33 Best Meat, lljc. per lb. by the side.
