Composition of Animals. Farmers cither sell (heir crops direct from the farm, or turn them into animals or animal products. T he latter practice is the highest order of farming, as Goth a knowl- ; edge of how to grow crops and Greed and feed animals are requite 1 ed. Almost all farmers are stock raisers to some extent, and it is necessary for the.u to know liow to feed animals to the best advantage and to .understand how the ani Mini's body is built op. Bones and flesh compose largely the body of animals—the bones ; making the frame work which the I tlesli binds together. The flesh contains most of the nerves and blood vosclcs; and the vital organs the brains, the heart, lungs, 'di gestive organs, etc.., are protected by banes and flesh. The different parts of tlx: body are different in composition, but. they all contain some, substances in common. All parts of the body contain some moisture; even apparently div bones contain moisture. The llWIfUHim The Stomach. At a meeting of m dieal men in Vienna the other (lay l)r. Gilman presented a woman of sixty-two years whose entire stomach ha been removed in an operation for cancer. Nevertheless she digests all her food and has gained, weight since the operation. The doctor stated tied dho operation of remov ing the stomach had now been suc cessfully performed over twenty times. 'Lliii stomach really plays only a small part in' the complex act of digestion, its principal use being that of a reservoir; hence it is that without this organ meals have to lie taken incouviontly often and usually small. There are several little organs of complex chemical function far more indis pensable than the stomach, which are seldom heard of. We could ■not cxi.-l, for instance, without the suprarenal capsules and the pan- eras.—Harper's Weekly.

The bodies of domestic animals contain about 50 per cent of water. When all* the water is driven 0I1 from animal bodies the part remaining is called dry mat ter.

There are many people in the cemetery across the way, says the North Georgia Citizen, who would have been with us still, perhaps, had as many goods things been said about them before they were put there as since. Why can’t a man get what is coming to him white it will do him good? Gov. Terrell of Georgia, thinks i the democrats have a good chance of electing a national ticket this year. wiil put the ore right in the smelt ers. These new plants will be in stalled at once, but the smoke will continue to July or August, as the tires which arc lighted in April will burn until that time. Even the rain cannot extinguish one of the fires after they have been start ed. It is said that Joe Longstreel came to town the other day after some coffin screws and handles to be used in the preparation for bu rial of one of bis color. On the way he got some blockade liquor., which was used pretty freely till it caus ed him to feel quite happy by the time he reached Dahloncga. Soon Joe fell in company with one of the “shining lights”, with whom ho spent the day, forgetting his busi ness, and before reaching home his friend was buried. This negro wouldn’t do to write obituaries, because he might, turn them into a love letters. A citizen of our town recently, sayatlie Marietta Journal, returned from a northern 111 ( > says that in many of the large cities up there i no attention is paid to the Sabbath. J This is especially true of Cincin- ( nati. The stores are wide open j just as on week days. The thca | tres are in full blast and make no | effort at vindication by biding be- ! bind sacred productions. The > “Zoo” and beer gardens are scent's i of the liveliest activity. In the I German quarters, “Over the j Rljine,” as Cincinnati folks call it, i the holy Sabbath seems not to be ] eyen thought of, much less spent in a revential observance. This is food for thought for foreign mis sionary people. They can find plenty to do nearer home. •Good Advice to Farmers. Says an exchange; The high price of cotton will cause many a tough sod to be turned this spring. I If cotton would remain at four- ] teen cents a pound those old piney | woods ridges would be more valu- ! able than any other part, of the {country. In economical farming | there is a handsome profit in cot- 1 ton at ten cents per pound, and i where it goes above this the far- i mer is usually making more clear ; money tlmn ho could make at any other occupation. But there is danger of planting too much, ; which will result in a low price j almost before the planter has realized any benefit from the high ! prices. The demand is far great er than it has ever been heretofore, ; yet there is danger of an over prg- I duetion. The safe side is to raise your hog and hominy at homo and let cotton be the surplus only. , Ex, “Does fanning pay?” Js not the question as well asked if mer chandising, the practice of law, theology, or other callings pay. Fanning pays more than any other business known. It loads the trains .and slops, and pays the freight; it (ills the warehouses and j pays the commissions; it pays most of taxes, and more interest than anything. Of course farming pays. Where it is intelligently followed it also pays the farmer. It. ought to pay the firmer better than it docs, and it will as soon as farmers find out why it does not - Marietta Journal. Some one who Inis observed the methods of successful men says: “When you light or work don’t make a fuss, the hen cackles only after she has laid an egg. The noise and sizzle of a locomotive are not force. All force is silent. The hee-haw of a mule may startle, hut it is not as dangerous as liis hind legs. Bear in mind that it is an empty wagon that makes the most noise when m motion. The noise of a drum is due to the fact that there is nothing in it." A gcuelemuu informed ns this week that a certain old woman in this county drawing a widow’s pension from the state, lias been married twice. Her lirst husband was a confederate soldier and died during the war. Then after the surrender she married some yan- kce, who, after living with her a year or two stole her horse and left. But she goes by the name of lu r first husband and draws a pen sion illegally. The insurance companies havo suffered a heavy loss by the recent lire at Baltimore, being $90,000,- 000.
