Pan-American Exposition, Buffa
lo, N. Y., May 1st to November 1st,
1901.—The Pan-American will be
worth many an effort.
The question of traveling to and
from the Pau American Exposition
at Buff alo is one to be carefully con
sidered
When you buy your ticket you
will wish to feel sa isfied that you
have selected wisely. You will de
sire to travel comfortable, pleas
antly, promptly and to secure the
most of interest on your journey.
The matter of returning home,too
must be considered as after you
have done the exposition, Buffalo,
Niagara Falls and vicinity, you’ll
be tired and wish to go quickly and
j oomfortaply.
The Central of Georgia Railway
j by reason of its desirable connec
tions both rail and steamship offer
ing a choice of two routes, will best
fill every requirement necessary to
successful and comfortable Pan-
American journeys from the South
east.
Through direct connections are
made through Atlanta, Athens, Au
gusta and all rail or through Sav
annah, thence the palatial and com
fortable steamships of the Ocean
Steamship Company to New York
or Boston.
See any agent of the Central of
Georgia Railway or drop us a pos

thing in the way of special matter
about the Exposition we can send

A Ronglily Built Corn Sletl Which i
Works Satisfactorily.
A corn sled, shown in the cut. was
used last season with satisfactory re
sults. It is roughly constructed and i
was part of an experiment, according j
to a Rural New Yorker correspondent, j
who gives the following details:
We were so well pleased with it that j
we shall do no more corn cutting with j
hand knives, but null use this device !
instead. Two men ride it, and any j
good, steady 1,200 pound horse will
handle it without any inconvenience.
In making it we use two 2 by 4 oak
scantlings, each 0 feet long, for run
ners. We found later that the sled
worked better if the forward end were
raised slightly; consequently we made
two false runners of the same mate
rial and fastened them to the bottom
of the first. These additional runners
were chamfered so they were about
two inches in front and tapered to a
point at the rear. In view of this
change I would suggest that the run
ner be made of 2 by G stuff with the
rear tapering to four inches. In some
cases it may be found advisable to nail
a 4 inch board to the bottom of the
runners to act as a shoe. The runners
were placed 30 inches apart, outside
measurement. Across these was nail
ed a G inch and a foot hoard of the
required length. At a point about IS
inches hac-k of the front end of the
runner the platform makes an angle
of a little less than 45 degrees with the
runner. The platform is built hack,
carrying the slant for about three feet,
when it will be about IS inches from
the runner. The platform is then
built back squarely for 1G or 18 inches
farther. This platform should be built
of as sound hard lumber as possible.
It is surprising how the stubble scrap-

HOMEMADE COK.V CUTTING SLED.
Ing against the bottom as the sled
passes over them after cutting the
stalk will wear the bottom.
In making our knives ive took an old
six foot crosscut saw and cut into two
equal parts. Each blade was taken to
the grindstone and the back ground to
an edge. We were careful to grind
only one side, and this the one on each
blade that would be underneath when
the small end was extended toward the
front. At first we tried nailing the
blades to the platform, but soon found
that this was not sufficient to hold
them securely. When they were bolt
ed with round headed bolts, with heads
beneath, it was much more satisfac
tory. In order to hold the blades there
should be at least six bolts through
each blade.

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, ali

pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ

Dimples and joy have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love-is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong; it is either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
.fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat

Time to Sow Hairy Vetch.
September is the best month to sow
hairy vetch in this latitude. Oet. 15 is
not too late for the southern half of the
state, though earlier sowing is prefer
red. In one instance we sowed as late
as Nov. 4 with success. Most of our
November sowings have partially or
completely failed. Seed sown here be
tween Oct. 1 and Oct. 15 has usually
given satisfactory results. On land
not liable to severe injury from
drought August sowing, though risky,
is permissible, especially when this
date coincides with the last working of
sorghum, late corn, etc., says J. F.
Duggar of Alabama.
Hairy vetch has been successfully
grown for winter pasturage on Bermu
da sod. To insure the germination of
the vetch seed it is desirable to scarify
the Bermuda sod every fall. For this
purpose we have used a narrow scooter
plow, hut probably a heavily weighted
disk harrow might be used for this pur
pose with greater convenience and re
duced cost. Of course stock must be
removed for at least a few weeks at
the time when vetch seed are being
formed to insure annual reseeding of
the pasture.
