Great Southern Inter-State Fair Is Of
fering the Largest Premiums Kvcr
Advertised For Agricultural Pro
ducts—Women’s Department.
The Premium List of the Southern
Inter-State Fair is now ready for distri
bution and those who desire a copy
should apply at ouce to Secretary T. H.
Martin, 218 Prudential Building, At
lanta. It will be mailed without charge.
The premiums of last year have beeu
increased about 30 per cent. The classes
have been extended also, thus offering
greater opportunity for the exhibit of
more complete lines. Many novel and
interesting contests have been arranged.
Attention has already been called to
the “Giant Premiums” offered for agri
cultural products. These special prizes
are record breakers. They excel any
premiums ever before offered for this
character of exhibits. Wheat, oats,
corn, potatoes, cotton and pumpkins
come in for big money, $250.00 being
offered for the best bushel of the various
sorts of grain. The same is offered for
the best 20 stalks of cotton and the same
for the largest pumpkin.
There are five large prizes offered for
the best collective agricultural exhibits
made by Georgia farmers—§300, $200,
$100, $60 and $40, respectively, for the
five best exhibits of this character. The
basis of competition and all information
regarding the contest is given in the
Premium List.
Another interesting lot of premiums
are those offered iu the Cattle Depart
ment. There has always been quite a
demand for classes in this department
open only to Georgia owned animals.
But separate classes of this character
have heretofore beeu impossible on ac
count of the additional expense. Hap
pily this objection has been met by a
full treasury and the double classes are
offered this year. The Fair Association
has been encouraged to do this on ac
count of the great success of the Cattle
Department last year and it is hoped
that the Georgia entries this year will
prove the wisdom of the Fair Associa
tion in making this additional expendi
ture.
The Department of Women’s Work
and the Flower Show have been placed in
charge of the Georgia Federation of
Women’s Clubs, of which Mrs. J. Lind
say Johnson is president. This does not
mean, however, that only members of
this organization will be allowed to make
entries in this. Department. The priv
ilege of exhibit is given to all and the
indications are that the Department of
Women’s Work will be one of the most
interesting of the Fail'.
Every Department of The Premium
List is full of interest. It is well worth
inspection, whether or not one expects
to become an exhibitor. Even a synop
sis of the lists here would be quite im
possible for lack of space. Send and get
a copy. That is the best way, and then
yon will have the whole story.
Plant Resumes Operations.
Birmingham, Ala., June 13.—Fires
have been lighted under the furnaces of
the steel plant of the Birmingham roll
ing mills and the plant lifts resumed
operations after a shut-down of several
weeks for repairs. This mill will be
kept steadily at work daring the sum
mer. Its capacity is about 60 tons a day.
FIG. I—DIVISIOX GATE OX LATERAL.
with whom the farmer and irrigator
comes into most frequent and intimate
contact is the ditch rider, who is gen
erally appointed by the manager or
president. His duties consist in pa
trolling the ditch throughout the sea
son of actual'operations for the pur
pose of seeiug that the works are in
good repair and to superintend the
proper distribution of water to the va
rious stockholders from the system.
The larger irrigation systems gener
ally have several distributary canals
leading from the main one and follow
ing as nearly as possible the highest
ground of the areas designed to be wa
tered from them.
At various points along the main ca
nal or distributary lateral branches are
diverted for conveying the water to
land of individual consumers, and it
becomes necessary to place regulating
structures at the points of diversion for
the purpose of regulating the flow into
these laterals. These consist of wood
en, boxlike structures in which sliding
gates are placed, by which ilie size of
aperture from the main canal is regu
lated and the flow of water therefrom
controlled. Where accuracy of results
is attempted there is also placed in the
lateral ditch below the regulating gates
a weir whose flow for all depths is tab
ulated, and a graduated scale is so
placed with reference to the weir that
the depth can be conveniently read off.
When it is desired to deliver into a
lateral a given volume of water, the
ditch rider consults his weir table and
finds the depth over this weir neces
sary to discharge tlie required amount.
He then increases or lessens the open
ing from the main canal by moving the
sliding gate until the required depth
over the weir is realized. This is the
most important duty of the ditch rider,
and for its proper execution he is ex
pected to make a trip daily over the
entire canal or hfs division of it, He
usually travels ou horseback or in a
two wheeled cart and carries a shovel,
hatchet, a small sharp pointed bar
and a number of empty sacks. The
hatchet is used to impair structures, the
bar is for raising gates which may be
difficult to move by hand, and the
shovel aud sacks are frequently re
quired for the repair of banks and the
stoppage of holes caused by gophers,
muskrats and other burrowing ani
mals. The holes thus made are usually
insignificant at first, but become rap
idly enlarged by the escaping waters
and if not stopped carry away a por
tion of the embankment.
Upon the discovery of a leak the
ditch rider’s first efforts are directed to
the location of the point on the inside
of the bank at which the water enters
the hole. This is frequently detected
through the eddy appearing at or near
the opening. The orifice, if small, can
be closed by pushing into the hole one
or two empty sacks; if already large, it
can usually be closed by first filling a
few sacks a half or a third full of loose
earth and ramming them into the"
mouth of the opening.
The regulating gates are frequently
kept locked and the key carried by the
PrcserTlng Eggs.
Cold storage for the preservation of
eggs is not available in many eases, so
! one of tiie experiment stations has
; beeu investigating the most economical
and effective methods that can be used
by fanners for this purpose and reports
i in favor of water glass. The spoiling
i of eggs is due to the entrance of air
j carrying germs of decomposition
I through the shells. Originally the shell
lias a surface coating of mucilaginous
matter, which prevents-the entrance of
these harmful organisms, lint if this
coating is removed or softened
washing or otherwise the keeping qual
ity of the egg is much reduced.
Packing eggs in lime, salt and other
products to keep them for winter use is
based on the principle of preventing
the entrance of these germs. Out of 20
methods for the preservation of eggs
tested the three most effective ones
were found to be coating the eggs with
vaseline, preserving them in lime water
and preserving them in water glass.
By the latter method, the application
of which does' uot cost more than
cent a dozeu, no appreciable difference
was observed in eggs that had been
kept nine months. Fresh eggs could
not be distinguished from either
taste or iu their behavior wlieu beaten
up for cake making.
Water glass is simply sodium or po
tassium silicate, sodium silicate being
usually the cheaper. Water glass can
be made at a cost not exceeding 50
cents a gallon, and one gallon mixed
with ten times its volume of water is
sufficient for the preservation of 50
dozen eggs. The preserving process
consists iu packing strictly fresh eggs
in a jar and pouring the solution over
them in a cool, dark place, such as a
cellar.
The only drawback with eggs pre
served in a solution of water glass is
that the shells usually burst in boiling
water. This may be avoided by care
fully piercing the shells with a strong
needle.—Philadelphia Record.
Cabbage Growing In Louisiana.
With care- in the selection of seed,
preparation and cultivation of the soil,
cabbages can be grown over a large
part of the state of Louisiana through
out the entire year. Early hard head
ing varieties give summer cabbage,
while the Late Flat Dutch, Brunswick,
Drumhead, Succession, etc., give win
ter and spring crops. 4 rich, heavy
loam is best suited for.cabbages, since
this plant requires much moisture to
attain perfection. Frequent stirring of
the ground, each time drawing up a
little earth around the plant, is neces
sary for best results.
Isolate tbe Sick Ones.
George O. Browu says: Don’t forget
that it is sheer folly to doctor a hen for
any disease or ailment and allow her
tbe freedom of tbe poultry yard. Ail
ing fowls should be treated in a great
legree the same as human beings.
When sick, not only is medicine a ne
cessity, but rest is also required. A
sick fowl running with the flock is a
dangerous experiment or, more correct-
ly putting it, a very sure source for
disseminating what may turn out to be
a contagion. Pen up the sick fowl and
treat it as near like a human patient as
possible.

STRONG NEWS SERVICE.
The service of the Associated Press,
bringing the news from all parts of the
world, is supplemented by the special
news service of The Journal in Georgia
and the southern states, and the tele
grams and letters of its Washington cor
respondent, Mr. James A. Holloman, who
will pay special attention to matters at
the national capital which interest the
people of the southern states.
Work Toward tbe Standard.
With such a rapid multiplication of
breeds as tbe last two decades have
witnessed it is sometimes difficult to
give the exact history of a breed or
variety. Several originators may have
been working at the same time toward
the same end, but using different
means. This has been tbe case with
such breeds as the newer varieties of
Wyandottes as well as some others. Is
it any wonder that there is such a wide
variation in the types of these birds
seen at our shows? Is it any wonder
that they “sport” so often and that dif
ferent strains vary so widely? Many
af them are composites. But if all
breeders work faithfully toward the
ideal as expressed in the adopted
standard for the' approximate
uniformity ought to be -jttUlfied even
tually.—Poultry Monthly.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
In addition to the contributions of

ditch rider. When a water consumer
has completed his irrigation for the
time being, he may desire that the wa
ter be shut out from his lateral. In
such cases lie leaves a note tacked to
liis head gate requesting the ditch
rider to shut it off at a specified time
and in the same manner notifies him to
turn it on when he again needs it. The
ditch rider gets these messages when
he makes his daily round over the
ditch.
Such are some of the Items in the op
