Ever see as cold a December?
Hope the worst of winter is now
over.
Waiting and watching for that

Here’s hoping also that Mr. B.
Weevil was completely frozen out.
If freezes mellow the ground
farming should be a round of de

An exchange boasts of being all
strictly original. Yes, a lot of pa

Our advice to the Senoia man

Thirteen was the sacred num

The Thomasville Times-Enter
prise observes that “guns and
booze behind the tragedy are fast
disappearing, but the fool at the
steering wheel is rapidly taking
their place.”
Where did the Senoia Enter

surely thefe hasn’t been two pa

After remaining in possession

One thing that puzzles us is,
why, if Billy Sunday wants to
spread the gospel, he tacks “copy
right” on the tail-end of all his
sermons. We fear Billy has been
bitten by the big business bug.—

not following Christ in this one
respect.
Rushing Cars.
Fifteen hundred flat cars have
been rushed to lines operating in
the Southeastern part of the coun
try in order to facilitate th 3 trans
port.! ion of the piling and heavy
lumber needed for the new ship
building yards.
The Commission on Car Seryice
of the R lilroads’ War Board his
also ordered the prompt move
ment of more than 3,000 box cars
into the West and Middle West to
protect Government orders of
grain and hay. In addition, a
large consignment of refrigerator
has been sent into Colorado, Idaho,
North Dakota and Minnesota to
handle the apple and potato crops.
The potato growers in Colorado
increased their production this
year without making any provis
!op for the storage of the extra
crop. As a result, the demand
fo refrigerator ears there has been
unusually heavy.
To safeguard the movement of
all perishable crops, the Commis
sion on Car Service has issued a
general order to the railroads, in
structing them to exercise the
strictest economy in the handling
of refrigerator cars, the supply of
which is unequal to the demand.
The order states that cars shall
not only be moved with dispatch
and unloaded promptly, but that
all refrigerator cars must be re
turned at once to the owning road
after they have been unloaded.
It also urged more co-operation
on the part of the shippers to load
cars to full capacity instead of
wasting car efficiency through
continued shipment of minimum
car loads.
The Commission of Car Service
has supplemented this order with
th * suggestion that the railroads
save refrigerator cars by making
a more liberal use of box cars in
moving potatoes. These box cars,
the Commissioner states, will be
suitable for the movement of po
tatoes if they are substantially
lined and provided with stove pro
tection.
Georgia Fund
Is Up to Wise.
Washington, Dec. 14. —Secreta-
ry Houston and Solicitor Williams,
ol the Department of Agriculture,
told Hugh M. Dorsey today they
would pay the $30,000 due the
Georgia Experimental Station as
Government funds, if Congress
would oass a resolution providing
that the trustees of the State Ag
ricultural Station be permitted to
receive the funds.
Governor Dorsey today prepar
ed the resolution and will ask
Representative Wise, of the Sixth
District, in which the institution at
Griffin is located to introduce it.
Thus far, Mr. Wise has not agreed
to introduce the resolution and
push it to passage because people
m Griffin are apprehensive that
this may be a step toward consol
idating the State Experiment Sta
tion with the State Agricultural
College at Athens.
For twenty years the Govern
ment has been paying the $30,000
annually to the State Experiment
Station, but this year Mr. Williams
held that the money could not be
paid to the trustees of experimen
tal station, and must be turned
over to the trustees of some insti
tution that was created and ope
rated under the Morrill act, which
inculdes the Georgia Agricultural
College.
Opportunities which have pass
ed seldom come back to the man
who waits.
All adage that cuts all round
must be a circular saw.
Marriage.
Marriage has in it less beauty,
but more safety than single life; it
lias not more ease but less danger,
it is more merry and more sad, it
is fuller of sorrows and fuller of
joys; it lies under more burdens,
it is supported by all the strength
of love and chaiity, and those
burdens are delightful. Marriage
is the mother of the world, and
preserves kingdoms, and fills cities
and churches and heaven itself.
Celibacy, like the fly in the heart
of an apple, dwells in perpetual
sweetness, but sits alone, and is
confined and dies in singulraity;
but marriage, like the useful bee,
builds a house and gathers sweet
ness from every flower, and la
bors and unites into societies and
republics and sends out colonies;
and feeds the world with delica
cies, and obeys their king, and
keeps order, and exercises many
virtues, and promotes the interest
of mankind, and is that state of
good to which God hath designed
the present constitution of the
world.
Good to Have in the House.
Coughs, colds, croup and la
grippe are prevalent, Colds
promptly checked mean saving of
time, money and health. Pneu
monia and other serious illness
may follow a neglected cold. T.
R. Lynch, 100 Spring Av., Dußois,
Pa., writes: “For many years we
have kept Foley’s Honey and Tar
in the house and it has saved
many doctors’ bills. It is fine for
colds.” A child’s health is too
precious to risk giving imitations
or substitutes; insist on Foley’s.

Would you mix your
cattle-feed with cotton?
YOU know that such a combination would be carried
through the digestive tract without giving the milk
producing and fat-producing food a chance to be
assimilated. The lint on old style hulls acts the same
way. It forms a pad or cushion-like covering around
the concentrates that prevents the digestive juices from
extracting the full amount of protein.

contain no lint to clog or flux the digestive tract. They
are digested and they allow the other forage to be di
gested the same as hay or any other roughage.
When you mix your feed with Buckeye Hulls you know
that you are using roughage that will help—not hinder —
the meal, com, oats, or whatever concentrate you prefer.
Other Advantages

Cost much less per ton. They mix well with other forage.
Go much farther. They take less space in the barn.
Mr. C. K. Henderson, Aiken, S. C., says:
that he would rather have Buckeye Hulls than any others.
He uses Buckeye Hulls altogether says they are
cheaper and better.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for
using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.
