“Bob White” Can Now Be Shot.
The period from November 1 to
March 15 is the open season for quail,
partridge, pheasant and wild turkey,
Lat doves, marsh hens and snipe may
be killed from July 15 to March 15,
while the ©Open season for summer
duck, wood duck and woodcock is
from September 1 to February 1, and
the open season for deer is from Sep
tember 1 to January 1. For the next
two months at least, practically every
thing in thig line is legitimate game
to the hunter.
There are several points in the new
law which may be of interest to those
who love a day in the field with gun
and dog. No person is permitted to
kill more than forty doves in one day.
No one can kill any game for the pur
pose of selling it, except on his own
land, unless, of course, he obtains ex
plicit permission to hunt on the lands
of others. ‘“Pot hunters,” as those
who kill game for the market, afe
generally known, must pay # license
fee of $25 to the widinary of the
county before they can do business.
It is strietly against the law to ship
any patridge out of the state, no mat
ter where or by whom they are killed.

Freight Rate Cases Postponed.

freight rates between Atlanta and cer

- on syrup between South Georgia
towns and Atlanta, was continued un
til Monday, November 28th, by Judge
Newman Friday.
The reason of the delay was the
filing at the last moment by the rall

Agricultural Education in Georgia.
Agricultural education has gone
through the experimental stage and is
pow on a solid basis. Where the agri
eultural colleges were first established
agriculture had net been reduced to
a pedogogical basis; that is, while
‘there were many facts known about
farming these had not been reduced
an exact science. The methods had
‘not been properly tested and classified.
Through the sciences allied to agricul
ture and through the work of the Ex
periment Stations agriculture has been
divided into the several studies of
Agronomy, Animal, Husbandry, Horti
culture, Botany and Plant Pathology,
and strictly scientific books have been
written upon all these subjects by
a number of imminent professors. Now
agriculture is both a science and an
art, and he who makes the most out
of his farm should master both the
science and the art. In teaching agri
culture these two phases of the sub
ject must never be forgotten. The
study of the textbooks in the various
departments of agriculture must be -.f
these principles to the farm and school
garden. Practice and observation re
Jating to soil preparation, the mixing
and distribution of fertilizers, the care
of fruit trees, the feeding and care of
animals, the handling of dairy pro
ducts, seed selection, plant breeding,
stock judging, veterinary science and
scores of other subjects that relate
to the farm must be studied in the
texts and applied in the farm.
The chemical laboratory is not run
for profit, the dissecting room is not
run for profit, nor is the clinic and
hospital in connection with the medical
colleges. These are made to earn
what they may incidentally, but their
purpose is to teach. Such is the rela
tion of the college farm work to tae
students in® agriculture. In no other
way can the student get the full value
of his course.
The work of the school of agricu:-
ture gt the State University is conduct
ed along the plan outlined above. The
studentg have their regular classroom
hours in agronomy, Horticulture, Ani
mal Husbandry, Farm Engineering,
English, History, Mathematics and one
science amounting in all to eighteen
hours a week. They also have four
hours a week in farm practice The
University cultivates nine acres ad
joinng the agrieultural hall for daily
observation and experimentation and
130 acres on the college farm The
farm is visited twice a week by the stu
dents in company with the professor,
who resides on the farm and conducts
all the operations A herd of dairy
cows and another of beef cattle is
kept. A well equiped dairy is in regn
lar operation, students mastering the
best methods of milk testing, butter
or cheese making . Surveying, level
ing and terracing are taught by exer
cises in the field. The use, construe:
tion and repair of farm machinery is
taught in connection Wwith the imple
ments belonging to the farm.
A young farmer should prepare
himself for his life work by taking a
course in the School of Agriculture.

cost him more than forty dollars for

NOVEL DOUBLE SUICIDE.
Two Young Men Lay on Tracks and
Let Train Mangle Them.
Two young men, about twenty-one
and twenty-two years of age, locked
in each other's embrace, laid down
upon the tracks of the Tellico railway,
about four miles from Athens, Tenn,
Wednesday, and let the train run over
them.
The engineer on the train sta'es
that he saw the forms of the young
men on the track, rang the bell and
blew the whistle, but they did not
move. Every indication is that they
are brothers and desired to commit
suicide,
