“That First Invented Sleep.”
“Now blessings light on him that
first Invented this same sleep! It cov
ers a man all over, thoughts and all,
like a cloak; It Is meat for the hungry,
drink for the thirsty, heat for the
cold, and cold for the hot. It is the
current coin that purchases all the
pleasures of the world cheap; and the
balance that sets the king and the
shepherd, the fool and the wise man
even. There is only one thing, which
somebody once put Into my bead,
that I dislike in sleep—lt is that It re
sembles death. There Is very little
difference between a man In his first
sleep and a man In his last sleep."—
From Cervantes.
Not Easy.
Pat was a married man —a very
much married man. lie had married
no fewer than four times, and all his
wives were still In the fore. Accord
ing to Pat’s own account before the
court where he was tried for bigamy
■and found guilty, his experiences were
not altogether satisfactory. The Judge,
tin passing sentence, expressed his
wonder that the prisoner could be
such a hardened villain as to delude
so many women.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.
If parents realized the fact that cof
fee contains a drug— caffeine —which Is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubthMs hesitate before giving
the baiiiooKuee to drin’;.
“laFEh T was a child in my moth
-€rs arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals I
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so 1 contracted the coffee
habit early. I-remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
“But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. I continued to use coffee until I
was 27, and when I got into office
work, I began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast I was so
nervous I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
“At night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
“A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and I did not like
It at first, but later when boiled good
and strong It was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.
“I can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers”

-FARM DEPARTMENT-
Edited by G. 11. ALFORD
All Questions Pertaining to ths Farm Addressed to Him. Box 182, West
Jackson, Miss.. Will be Gladly Received and Answered In These Columns.
PORK PRODUCTION.
We spend more money for pork than
tve do lor education and religion. We
send millions of dollars to tne North
and West every year for pork and
pork products. We are transferring
money from our pockets to other
men’s pockets. We are paying 15
cents per pound for pork and the rec
ords of the experiment stations and
the actual experience of hundreds of
farmers show tnat pork can easily he
produced In this territory for 3 cents
per pound.
We urge capitalists to build facto
ries and encourage the building of fac
tories by exempting them from taxa
tion for a period of years. We ex
empt factories from taxation, and at
the same time send money out to pay
for pork manufactured elsewhere. We
certainly need factories of all kinds
in every town and ci.y, and especial
ly do we need hogs to manufacture
the cheap leguminous crop that we
must grow to increase the productive
ness of our soils, the grasses, peanuts,
peas, potatoes and the like, into pork
and pork produtsc. The hogs to manu
facture the grasses and grains into
pork will declare by far the larger
dividends. It is not necessary for the
farmer to take stock in cotton facto
ries in order to he a manufacturer;
just let him keep plenty ol' good hogs
on his farm and he will he one of the
most prosperous manufacturers of
useful products.
The feed, the bread and the man
combine to make the most pork for
the least money. Good permanent pas
tures; grazing crops, such as oats,
rye, barley, vetch, rapd, crimson clo
ver, peas, peanuts, potatoes, sorghum
and chufas, with a small amount of
grain, will settle the feed qpestlon.
The selection of good representatives
of one of the improved breeds will
settle the breeding question. The
proper care of the brood sow, little
pigs and the hogs wil settle the man’s
part.
Cheap pork can be raised only by
making the hog a grazing animal and
by growing cheap crops for him to
harvest. Good Bermuda pasture alone
will keep a hog in good growing con
dition all the summer. Excellent win
ter and early spring pasture can be
obtained by sowing hairy vetch seed
broadcast on the Bermuda sod early in
the fall. This furnishes a good per
manent pasture for the hogs.
Oats and hairy vetch sown before
November Ist furnishes a most excel
lent pasture until about July. Peanuts,
chufas and artichokes planted In April
produce cheap feed for the hogs in
the fall and winter. Two; varieties
of cowpeas may be planted the latter
part of April, one an early variety and
one a late variety. The two varieties
may be planted at the same time again
in June. Soy beans planted the laiter
part of April furnish a large quan
tity of valuable feed for hogs.
Give the hogs a small amount of
corn while on the permanent pasture,
and also while harvesting the various
crops grown for them. The hogs will
pay from $3 to $5 per bushel for corn
when fed in this way.
The hog was intended for pork, and
there are none too good for the pork
barrel. Individual merit keeps many
from the butcher’s block, but that is
no excuse for attempting to raise
scrubs. Let us select good representa
tives of the desired breed and thereby
obtain the maximum rent for our pas
ture land and the highest price for
our feed. Let us put up the money
and buy the best. Good hogs can not
be obtained for scrub prices.
The crops will soon be harvested.
Let us make good permanent hog pas
tures by sodding good land in Ber
muda or carpet grass. Let us sow i
oats, rye, barley or wheat at once.
Let us plant rape at once. In other
words, let us put in this winter get
ting started right in the hog business.
HAIRY VETCH.
The growing of hairy vetch has in
creased with astonishing rapidity in
the last few years. The only reason
why it is not grown on a much larger
scale than it is now is the high cost
of the seed. Pratcieally all of the seed
now used in this country is imported
from Europe.
It is a leguminous crop, and only a
winter crop in this section. It ought
to be sown by November Ist. The
seed will mature by June Ist. It is not
advisable to sow vetch alone, as the
stems are too weak to support the
plant. However, when vetch is
mixed with oats, barley or rye, the
stems of the grain support the vetch
and mucl! be: ter hay is obtained.
The vetch hay contains a rnucS
higher percentage of protein than any
other leguminous hay, surpassing al
falfa, lespedeza and the clovers. All
kinds of stock readily eat every bit
of it. It may be termed a winter cow
pea, as it enriches the soil in the win
ter, just as the pea enriches it in
the summer, and at the same time
furnishes a much better hay than pea
hay.
Now is the time to sow vetch, and
every farmer ought to mix about one
half bushel of vetch with every bushel
of oats, rye or barley ;hat he plants
for pasture. If sown on good land, the
, results will be more than satisfactory.
Try an acre or so at least, and be
convinced of the great value of vetch
as a winter forage crop.
DAIRY FARMING.
Mr. A. L. L„ McNeill, Miss., writes
as follows: ’T write to a3k you ciie
course you would pursue if you were
placed in my condition. I am desir
j ous of going into the dairy business.
I have twenty head of scrub cows and
heifers. I have twenty acres in culti
vation, twelve acres under fence not
in cultiva ion, and forty acres in wood
land. My farm is on the railroad, hut
I would not depend on the local nu.V
ket for the sale of milk, butter, etc.
I have two horses and am without
money with which to buy feed for
twenty cows. I have eight acres iu
good corn, five acres in sweet potatoes,
one acre in peas and three-fourths of
an acre in sugarcane. I have eight
head of good hogs and fifty chickens.
I also have nine hives of bees.”
I shall not attempt to write a pre
scription for you. A doctor always
visits a patient, feels his pulse, looks
at his tongue, asks a number of ques
tions and then writes a prescription.
However, I take pleasure in offering
several suggestions. Fence every acre
of your land with a pig-tight fence,
and divide your farm into four or five
fields with a pig-Ught fence as soon as
your means will permit. As you have
only seventy-two acres of land, and
want to go into the dairy and hog busi
ness, put at least, thirty-five acres in
permanent pasture. Bermuda or car
pet grass make a most excellent pas
ture. When either grass Is well sod
ded on good land, no better summer
pasture can be found in North Amer
ica. Vetch, crimson, white or burr
clover sown on the Bermuda or car
pet grass sod furnish grazing for the
larger part of the winter.
Get the best Jersey bull that your
means will permit. A good bull is
at least half the herd.
If you do not raise cotton It will be
necessary to buy cottonseed medl. Do
not buy cottonseed hulls. Your hays
will furnish the roughage.
Get you a good dairy separator and
feed your skim milk to your hogs and
chickens.
If you have a good permanent pas
ture for your hogs to graze in, a pea
field to turn In about the Ist of July,
peas in corn about the Ist of Septem
ber, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sorghum,
etc., to turn In on, rape, rye, oats,
collards, etc., for the winter, very lit
tle corn will be necessary. Raise cheap
crops and make the hugs do the har
vesting.
Plant sunflowers, chicken corn, oats,
rye, etc., for the chickens. Keep a
plentiful supply of charcoal and grit
around the house for the chickens. Do
not permit the chickens to roost in
the house during the summer months.
Close the house the Ist of April and
force the chickens to roost in trees
until, say, the Ist of November.
You have a most excellent combina
tion. The dairy cows, hogs, chickens
and bees combined ought to make you
a very prosperous farmer in a few
years.
I will discuss your letter at length
in some future issues of this paper.
SEED SELECTION.
For the amount of labor Involved,
no work upon the farm pays better
than seed selection. Within a seed is
the minute germ that has all the char
acteristics of the preceding generation
of that species, with the modieatfiions
which the previous culture, soil, cli
mate and selection has given it, and
these it transmits to the future plants.
In addition, the seed contains a little
food to help the germ until the plant
can become established in the soil.
While the typos in seed are persist
ent along general lines, within their
limits, they admit of great modicafl
tlon by selection and cultivation. In
cotton the size of the boll, the length
and qualhy of the lint, the time of
maturity, the tendency to abundant fo
liage, the height and form of the stalks
and other plant characteristics may be
modified at will by the farmer.
When a farmer buys high-grade
seed at a large price, he is simply pay
ing another man for using his brain
to do just what he can do just as well,
if he will.
The improvement of corn by selec
tion is so simple that there is no rea
son why each farmer should not give
it his attention. Every farmer should
go in the field and select his seed
corn. The stalk is of fully as much
importance as is the ear.
An ideal stalk of corn is one with
out suckers, thick at base,with well
developed roots, as shown by its vig
orous growth, and bearing a good ear
or ears about four feet from the
ground. The stalk when matured
should be between eight and ten feet
high.
An Meal ear of corn is nearly cylin
drical in shape, tapering only slightly
from the butt to the tip. The tip
should be fairly abrupt. The rows of
corn should be straight and compact,
commencing close to the shank and
extending clear over the end of the
cob to the tip. The cob should be of
medium size, about one-half the diam
eter of the ear at a distance of one
third from the base, and the length of
the ear should be about four times its
diameter. Extra large or extra long
I ears should be avoided as much as
small ears. The grains of the ear
i should he of uniform size and should
| fit snugly. They should be fairly
: long, nearly flat on the sides and
slightly tapering on both edges.
Georgia Mews
Macon. —Hon. George M. Napier of
Atlanta, deputy grand master of the
grand lodge of Masons of the state,
was elected grand master, to succeed
Grand Master Henry M. Banks of La-
Grange. Mr. Banks declined to stand
for re-election. Mr. Napier defeated
Max Meyerhardt of Rome for the high
office. Mr. Napier is one of the most
widely known Masons in the state.
He has filled all the higher offices in
the grand lodge. The other officers
follow: Robert L. Colding, Savannah,
deputy grand master; N. H. Ballard,
Brunswick, senior grand warden;
Frank O. Miller, Fort Valley, junior
grand warden; J. M. Rushin, Boston,
treasurer; W. A. Wolthin, Macon,
Secretary; Royal Daniel, Atlanta, dep
uty grand master, Fifth district.
Dublin.—Since automobiles became
plentiful, five belonging to Dublin
citizens have burned. The last to
he destroyed was a Buick belonging
to Brandon Dreyer and driven by
one. 6f their traveling salesmen. The
blare was caused by a flare-back.
West Point.—The beautiful umbrel
la shed promised the people of West
Point by the Atlanta and West Point
is now nearing completion. In addi
tion to this handsome shed the road
has within the last two years built
for West Point the finest hotel and
the best equipped railroad station be
tween Atlanta and Montgomery.
Dalton.—The grand jury for the Oc
tober term of superior court made In
the customary presentment a number
of important recommendations. What
is considered here as one of the most
important recommendations is the de
sire of the grand jury to have a game
and fish warden appointed to see that
the game laws are not broken in this
county. Whitfield county has never
had a game warden, and as a result
game and fish are being rapidly thin
ned out. At the present rate of
slaughter it will be only a matter of
a short time before fishing and hunt
ing would be among the sports of the
past.
Dublin.—The Dublin light and wa
ter plant, which is owned by the mu
nicipality, is one of the best paying
investments in Dublin. Di ring the
past twelve months the city made a
net profit of $8,2(J0. The income from
the lights and water account •vas $30,-
000. In addition, the city furnished
water and lights free to the value of
1400 to the city hall, fire department
and schools and maintained 60 arc
lights, at a cost of $4,800, making a
total revenue of $35,200.
Dalton. —The poultry show to be
held here in the late fall by the Dal
ton Poultry and Pet Stock associa
tion will be a big event, according to
ithe statement of the officers of the as
sociation, who met to finish the plans
for the show. Fancy poultry from this
and neighboring states will be enter
ed and expert judges will be secured
to award the prizes and cups offered
by the association. The show will
open Tuesday, November 22, and will
continue through the week.
Barnesville. —Considerable excite
ment was created here when it was
known that Chief of Police Stocks
had receive! a letter warning him
that he was going to be killed and if
necessary Lis home would be dynamit
ed and burned. The letter was un
signed, .but said, it was from fifteen
friends of one A. J. Redd, whom the
chief had to hit with a club in arest
ing him for disorderly conduct. He
has just served a sentence on the
county chain gang.
The Barkley brothers of Jackson
county, made 137 bushels of corn on
one acre.
Blakely.—The ginning outfit of the
Georgia Cotton Oil company, which
was destroyed by fire here represent
ed an investment of about $12,000. A
plant belonging to the same company
was burned here about a year ago.
The losses are fully covered by insur
ance, and it is thought that the Geor
gia company wll immediately rebuild.
Rome.—J. H. Harris of 603 West
Tenth street, has brought suit against
the city of Rome for the sum of SSOO,
alleging that his wife was sick during
the summer past of typhoid fever and
that the carelessness and negligence
of the city was the cause thereof. Mr.
Harris alleges that he lived last sum
mer adjacent to a vacant lot near the
upper end of Broad street, and that
there was a pond there usually filled
with stagnant water. He claims that
the city failed to keep this pond prop
erly drained and that mosquitoes in
the neighborhood fed in this pond in
the day time and at night gorged on
typhoid germs and they spread disease
Washington, D. C. —The comptroller
of the currency has issued a charter
to the First National bank of Vidalia,
v id alia, Ga., capital $35,000, W. O.
Donovan, president; James McNatt
and J. W. Johnson, vice presidents;
George S. Rountree, cashier.
Sylvania.—Mr. J. T. Bszamore, liv
ing about six miles out of Sylvania,
has some good cotton. He has a five
acre field out of which he has already
gotten over a bale to the acre, and it
is not half picked yet

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physician’s Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He Was
at Fault.
We are told that the latest sensa
tion In the medical world Is the asser
tion of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patient’s eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient Is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it Is supposed
to be? I recollect hearing some time
ago of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: “I can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what Is the matter with you. You
are suffering from ‘liver.’ ”
“My right eye?” asked the patient.
“Yes,” returned the doctor. “It
shows me plainly that your liver is
out of order.”
“Excuse me, doctor,” said the pa
tient, apologeticallly. “My right eye’s
a glass one.”
His Point of View.
“John, dear," queried the young
wife, glancing up from the physical
culture magazine she was perusing,
"what is your idea of a perfect fig

near enough to satisfy a man of my
simple tastes."
