Every state maintains an institu tion to discover and disseminate facts of utility to farmers. It was for this reason that the State College of Agri culture was organized and is support ed as a child of the state. In order that this institution may do its full duty by the farmers of the state, it has from year to year organized short practical courses the first ten days of the month of January. They offer him an opportunity to secure at a minimum of cost the necessary facts on which to project his farm opera tions on the heat practical basis for the ensuing year. There are courses In cotton Indus try, live stock production, agronomy and horticulture. Men are therefore permitted to specialize along that line in which they seek to become expert. Instruction Is offered by the ablest men on the College staff and is given In the most simple and direct manner possible, and illustrated by laboratory and field demonstrations. Men who have taken these courses have stated CATARRH IN CHICKENS. L. L. Jones, Professor Poultry Husbandry. Question —How would you prevent or cure catarrh in chickens? A chicken affected with a cold, or catarrh, Bhould receive immediate at tention, for while this disease in itself Is not serious, it is liable to develop into roup if neglected. Usually a cold is caused by exposure during a cold spell of weather, by draughts of air over the birds while they are on the roosts, by damp atmosphere and wet weather, or by Improper housing conditions. In many cases the bird will get well without doctoring if the condi tions which caused the cold in the first place are removed. A little red pepper given in the mash often helps them along. If the trouble Is more serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth should be washed out with a 3 per cent solution of Boraclc acid. Or if roup Is suspected dip the head of the fowl in a 1 per cent, solution of po tassium permanganate, holding It there 20 or 30 seconds. Repeat this treatment once or twice a day until fowl is cured. A little work when the trouble is first noticed may pre vent a lot of work later when the dis ease has a good start that they saved several hundred dol lars for an expenditure of $25.00, about the amount required for travel ing expenses and board to take one of these short courses. Will you continue in the old rut or will you get out on the high new level of attainment which science has shown to be within the reach ct every farmer? Will you become a regener ated citizen inspired with a new pur pose? You have an opportunity to do so through taking advantage of these courses especially prepared and offer ed for your benefit and available at a minimum of cost to every white stu dent of the state over the age of six teen who can read and write. Take this matter up with your neighbor, canvass your community, bring a club of farmers to the short course. Os all the Investments which you can make as an individual or for your communi ty, none will surpass this. This is not a personal opinion, but is based on the specific statements of men who have been with us in the past. BEEF GROWING ADVANTAGE IN GEORGIA. M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal Husbandry. Question —Can cattle be grown for beef in Georgia as cheaply as in the , West? The West can furnish grain cheap er, but Georgia can produce more sil age to the acre, get longer grazing and more and better food from Ber muda grass than is obtained from : western grasses. The demonstrated possibilities of corn-growing in Geor gia show that even the West should have nothing over it in that respect. Georgia can now grow beef cattle as cheaply as the grain states, but with its full possibilities developed it should have an advantage. As an indication of how values can be Increased in growing cattle for beef, the State College of Agriculture bought cows in South Georgia at sl7 per head and sold calves from these cows at the average age of 23 months on the Athens market for $44.99 each. i Benjamin Leath, the corn club prize winner who has been taking a course in agriculture, has been com pelted to return to his home in Clark county of ill health. He expects to return to College. _______________________ I MORTGAGE SALE. ! Georgia—Montgomery County. Under and by virtue of power | of sale contained in a mortgage ; executed by Eliza J.
