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. For Rent A good 2 horse farm in Worth viile district.

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.
