Prepare For High-Priced
Mules and Horses
. ■ .
The 40,000 Mares In Georgia Should
Be Raising Foals.
M. P. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal Hus
bandry, Ga. State College Of Ag.
More than a million horses and
mules of the United Statese have
been requisitioned for military pur
poses during the past eighteen months
—that is, about one horse to every
twenty in the country. For some time
before the European war prices had
sagged till breeders had barely more
than 50 per cent of their mares mated.
The war demand and the few num
ber of animals bred are bound to
bring about high prices for horses
and mules not only during the war,
hot for several years after.
There are probably 40,000 mares on
Georgia farms. Statistics show less
than 4,000 are regularly producing
foals, whereas a minimum of 60 per
cent should be regularly bringing in
the foals.
To forestall the shortage and high
prices as much as possible the logi
cal thing to do is first put every mare
to raising colts. The average farmer
is not advised to replace all of his
work mules with mares, but sufficient
should be kept to replace worn-out
animals.
Above all breed to big strong-boned
jacks and registered draft stallions of
Imre breeding, sound and of accept
able weight.
Farm Drainage In Georgia
GEORGE A. CRABB, Junior Professor
Of Agronomy.
Land drainage improves the soil
structure, improves ventilation, in
creases the available plant food, pro
motes the action of beneficial bacte
ria, permits greater root development
of crops and increases crop yields.
Where the land is rolling or hilly un
derdrainage decreases surface erosion
by removing the water through the
soil instead of permitting it to be re
moved by surface overflow.
Land drainage should be done to
some extent on the majority of the
farms in this state. It is a form of
permanent soil improvement.
Two main classes of farm lands in
the state that are much in need of
drainage: The overflow lands along
the streams and in the swamps, and
the lands already in cultivation that
are too wet for maximum crop yields.
Overflow and swamp lands must
often be handled in drainage districts
because of the large areas involved.
Lands already in cultivation may be
drained by individuals through use
of tiles.
The fall and winter are the times
of the year to plan drainage of wet
areas when the farm labor can be used
to good advantage.
Co-operation in drainage investiga
tions has been established between
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The farmers of
Georgia can secure advice and help
in the drainage of their farm lands by
writing to the Agronomy Department
of the State College of Agriculture.
Selecting the Laying Stock
WM. S. DILTS, Poultry Instructor, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
When young pullets are large
enough to be put in the laying house
for the winter, the whole flock should
be gone over and the poorest birds
culled out, fattened and marketed.
Select only strong, vigorous birds,
culling out all sick birds, weaklings
or cripples. Only birds of good size,
fully matured and of high constitu
tional vigor should be kept over.
The bird with high constitutional
vigor is always alert and active in her
movements. She seems to he content
ed and happy. Such a bird should
have a broad, deep, well-developed
head: bright, clean, snappy eyes; a
short, well curved beak; well colored
face, comb and wattles. The body
should be broad and deep for the
breed, with a full, well rounded breast.
Her shanks should be stocky, with legs
set well apart. Her toe-nails should
be short and straight, showing that
she is a worker. The best layer gen
erally has the best appetite. She goes
from the roost early in the morning
in search of food and remains at work,
scratching until late, after the loafers
have gone to roost.

Try this! Hair gets thick,

Immediate?—Yes! Certain?—
that’s the joy of it. Your hair
becomes light, wavy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as a young
girl’s after a Danderine hair
cleanse. Just try this—moisten
a cloth with a little Danderine
and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand
at a time. This will cleanse the
hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil
and in just a few moments you
have doubled the beauty of your
hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neg
lected or is scraggy, faded, dry.
brittle or thin. Besides beautify
ing the hair, Danderine dissolves
every particle of dandruff, cleans
es, purifies and invigorates the
scalp, forever stopping itching
and falling hair, but what will
please you most will be after a
few week’s use, when you see
new hair—fine and downy at first
—yes —but really new hair grow
ing all over the scalp. If you
care for pretty, soft hair, and
lots of it surely get a 25-cent bot

AMERICAN VINE IN EUROPE
_____________ i
Even Venice Has Added to Its Beauty
by Adoption of the Vir
ginia Creeper.
Down to Cuba, up to Newfoundland
and as far west as the Mississippi
river and the Virginia creeper has
crept until it covers all the territory
in between. It didn’t creep to Europe,
because it couldn’t, but it was taken
there by a man, and there it is held in
high honor. It is widely cultivated,
and even Venice has reared stately
trellises to guide the creeper over its
architectural treasures, the Philadel
phia North American says.
Maybe you know the Virginia creep
er when you see it. If you are not
sure, go slowly, for you might pick on
the poison ivy by mistake, though you
need only remember that the creeper
has five leaves in a group, while the
poison ivy has only three.
The creeper clings to vertical sur
faces with tiny tendrils, which form
disks like little suckers. Darwin took
a day off one time and found out that
one of these little disks will support a
weight of two pounds.
