STATE GEOLOGIST GIVES I ADVICE TO HUNTERS Some Rules Which, if Ob served, Would Prevent Trouble and Cost. The hunting season has brought into the public prints a rather formidable list of rules to insure safe and proper sport with the gun compiled some time ago by the State geologist of Pennsyl vania. Following are some of them: Always keep the gun pointed from yourself and other persons. Carry the gun with the muzzle pointed downward to the earth or upward toward the sky. Nev er sweep the horizon with it. In getting over logs and fences or through hedges, put the gun over first and see that it will not fall. Then go to another place and cross, and [tick up the gun with the end pointing where it should. Never draw a gun toward yourself by the muzzle, especially in boats, wagons, or over fences or logs, etc. 1 )o not load the gun until at the hunting grounds and draw the load when leaving them. Never keep a loaded gun in house or tent or where it may be knocked down by children or dogs. I)o not carry a gun cocked ex cept when on the alert for game to rise. Do not shoot into moving hushes or toward a noise. It may be stock or persons. Wait for the game to appear. Do not start a fire without pro viding against its spreading and put it out when you leave it.. Do not wound game and leave it to die a lingering death. Spend an hour or more if neces sary to find game that has been wounded. Do not shoot protected game. Hunt with the back to the sun, slowly and quietly. Do not hunt for anything and everything. Find out where game is to be found and the times for hunting it. Find out if premises are posted and do not hunt there without permission. Leave fences, gates, bars, etc., just as you find them. Be satisfied with a fair bag. Do not be a hog just because: game is plentiful. To urge the majority of young men who go out with a gun to do none of these things under any circumstances would be about as profitable as to request the aver age citizen never to forget him self and sin against propriety or decorum in the least particular. Nevertheless these rules are worth remembering, and the man who observes them will serve his country and keep a whole skin. Macon Telegraph. Sherd! Sale. Cioonri* Montjromory County.

Our farmers are falling to make use of other opportunities for supplanting western hay, such as oats and vetch afford. Furthermore, our farmers are at tempting lo buy protein in the form of oats and corn from the West at four times the cost of the same food values found in cotton seed meal.

Thereby the western farmer is pro- | ducing from cotton seed hulls that j he buys at from $6 to $8 per ton and meal at from $23 to $25 per ton, meat and milk at a much lower cost than , If he employed his homegrown feed Ing stufT. Why not stop this outgo of money of the Georgia farmer by feeding more cotton seed hulls and meal, by raising more oats and corn, by grow- Ing more roughage to take place of expensive hay? Georgia need noi buy from another state one single bit of foot] for cattle If It will feed what It already has and grow more abund , antly a few crops that It can grow | very successfully. j ' _ - j cause the corn is better adapted to his needs than probably other corn from a distance would be. If your corn is not already gather ed, go Into the field, pick the medium sized stalk that Is well eared. It should have, preferably, two ears on the stalk. Take both ears if they are well developed, but in case there Is only one well developed, It does not matter, as some think, whether it Is a top ear or the bottom ear. The | ear with the harder grain is prefer able. Put your selected ears where they | can dry readily. If this is attended ! to during November, you can wait un j til later to carry on the more import ant test, that Is, the germination test, which will show whether the seed | have a vigorous power of reproduc tlon or not.
