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. “Yer honor,” said Pat, apologetical ly. “I was only tryln’ to get a good one, an' It’s not alsy!”—Llppincott’s Magazine.

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” Read “The Road to Wellville,” In pkgs. “There’s a Reason.” Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

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.

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.

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 ure?" “Well,” replied her husband, “SIOO,- 000 may not be perfection, but it’s near enough to satisfy a man of my simple tastes."
