ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
IN ADVANCB.
To Corn Club Boys.
Dear Club Member: Thu Corn Club
boys have made some very fine yields
and good profits on their acres. Several
hundred hoys last year Brew one aere
in oats and followed with peas for hay.
They also grew an acre cotton. The
acre in corn gave an average profit of
$58 SC, the acre in cotton a profit of
$38.51, and the acre in oats followed
with peas for hay gave an average pro
fit of $62.54. Now, tioys, which ucres
were in the best shape for crops this
year? How would you like to try your
hand in this oat-growing contest? Stay
in the Corn Club, but. also see what you
can do with oats and peas. Join the
other hoys in this line of work by sow
ing your acre at once. Many premiums
will be given next year to the boys
who do best. You cun win one if you
try real hard.
Prepare your land well and allow it
to settle before planting, as onts will
require a firm seed-bed. Unless your
land is already very fertile, it will pay
to apply some manure or commercial
fertilizer before sowing, and in the
spring make an application of 75 or
100 pounds of some good top dressing.
Sow the variety that does best in your
community, and get home-grown seed
if possible. The Appier, Cnlberson,
Bancroft, Fulghum and Hastings Hun
dred Bushel oats all do well in this
State. Rust and smut are two pests that
damuge much grain in Georgia. There
fore, insure yourself against these
poHts by growing a rust-proof variety,
after you have treated the seed with
formalin to prevent smut.
The bent results are had when oats
Afe sown in the open furrow or with
the grain drill. These two methods are
practiced by the best of farmers of the
State and reduce winter-killing to a
minimum. Sow at the rute of from 2
to 2J bushels per aero just as soon us
you possibly can. Early sown oats are
always better.
Thursday, Nov. 18, is Club Day at
the Corn Show in Atlanta. Make ar
rangements to attend this show if pos-
ible, ns you will be well repaid for your
time. Free entertainment will be
given all the boys who attend.
Yours very truly,
Wrn. Bradford,
Asr.'tJStale Agent Boys’ Corn Clubs.
Ticks Suck 200 Pounds ol Blood
From a Steer.
“Ticks take ns much ns 200 pounds
of blood a year from a 1,000-pound
steer; cut the milk production of cows
nearly fit) per cent.; reduce the homo
price of meat animals from one-half to
one cent a pound; prevent bankers
from lendingl money to promote the
live-stock industry; keep down fertility
and production of farms; and make the
Southern farmers pay fifty million dol
lars a year to supply the never-ceasing
barbecue of blood,” writes a contribu
tor in the current issue of Farm and
Fireside.
How the Government is lighting the
tick is shown by this extract;
“Dip the tick" is the slogan which
the Department of Agriculture has
adopted for a special campaign against
the cattle tick in the South. Blazoned
in big letters this legend will stand out
in startling relief upon a two-colored
poster which the department proposes
to display in every postoffice in the
tick-iiifestid country.
“It costs less than 50 cents a head to
dip the cattle of a county and free that
county from quarantine,” said Mr.
Vromnan, Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture of the United Stutis, “and en
able its,[cattle yto compete with free
cattle at the stockyards. But before
the ticks can be cleaned from a county
the people in that county, by them
selves or with the aid of tfie State,
must build dipping vats, which cost
from $50 to $100 each, and must supply
arsenic, which costs about 0 cents per
head, to make the arsenical bath that
kills the ticks. The people must then
join in seeing thnt every steer or eow
is dipped a sulllcient number of times
to kill all the ticks infesting the cattle,
and preventing the seed-ticks in the
grass from finding a new boarding
house. This department will co-operate
by sending its expert field men to su
pervise the building of vats, to prepare
the arsenical hath, und to take charge
of the dipping of cattle. The people of
a county and State, however, have to
provide the small amount of money
necessary for the actual dipping."
Unkind words do as much harm as
unkind deeds. Many a heart has been
wounded beyond cure, many a reputa
tion tins been slabbed io death by a few
little words.
Went to the Hospital.
U E. Blanchard, postmaster at Blan
chard. Dal., w rites: “I had kidney trou
ble so bud I had io go to the hospital.
Foley’s Kidney Fills were recommended
to me and they completely cured me. I
cannot speak too highly of them."

Rheumatism Due to Bad Blood. S. S. S. Your Remedy
Thousands have been made well. People In the poorest health, suffer
ing from Rheumatism, with whom pain was constant. Who believed thnt
their vitality was sapped beyond repair. It was proven to them that the
cause of their trouble was the blood; that t’ric Aeld, the most faithful ally
of Bhemnntism. had gripped them. The poison In the blowl had sapped Its
strength. The weakened blood had allowed poison and impurities to accu
mulate, and all energy was gone. They felt “poorly," were listless, pain
was ever present, wltlMioor digestion and dyspepsia. They tried S. S. S.,—
nature’s blood tonic. They gave uji drugs. This compound of nature's
remedies of roots and herbs did what drugs failed to do. It literally
washed the blood free from poison, and with the flow of pure blood came
back health, strength, vigor and happiness. Get S. S. S. from your drug

SHAVING THE PIG.
In Incident That Chief Justice Chase
Wanted to Forget.
Salmon F. t'luise, governor of Ohio,
leiintor o 1 Hie United States, secretary
of the Uuileil Slales treasury and chief
Justice ol the supreme Court of the
United States, nin e hail nil encounter
with a pig lliat is worth telling.
Wlien a liny lie attended a private
liiiariHng Hfliool kept by Ids tinele. the
I;pis. • )t:it bishop of Ohio, lie did Hie
eliures for bis rtie'le during Hie school
term mid worked on the farm during
tlie summer. One day his uncle told
fils nephew that lie should kill and
dress a pig at the close of the school
that day.
Willi tat little difficulty the boy
eiiuglll the pig and killed it. And nmv
tlii' i|tiestlon was lifnv to get. the lirls
ties off. He bad heard of farmers
scalding bogs, so lie soused the pig
Into a barrel of hot water. He either
belli the pig in the water too long, or
did not have It but enough, for in spite
of all lib- scraping the bristles would
not runic iiff. lie then thought of Ids
uncle’s razors, ntltl gelling them lie
yljnved Hie |i|g from nose to tall
When tin- bishop returned lie con
gratulated Ids nephew on the splendid
appearance of the pork. But when
he tried to 'have the next day he dis
covered that the razors would not
"work." What lie said and did we may
imagine, but we do not know.
Chief Justice t'lmse was a very dig
nified limn. Ills private secretary. Mr.
Dldler, says that he bad little humor
In tils composition President Lincoln
once related the foregoing story at n
meeting of the cabinet, but Mr. Dlmsc
did not like It very well, and the pres
ident never referred to it again.
SWAMPED WITH PROFITS.
Story ot the Potent on tile Screw With
the Gimlet Point.
Perhaps the shortest patent applica
tion extant Is the one on tile in the
patent office at Washington, which
reads, "I c laim a patent on a screw
With a gimlet point."
Previous to that all screws used in
woodwork had been of the blunt end
variety, and Hie carpenter had to care
fully bore a hole with a gimlet or au
ger before Inserting his screw and
forcing It home. The advent of the
screw with a gimlet point which would'
bore itself tn revolutionized this.
This patent was held by the Ameri
can Screw company of Providence. It.
1 , and before the patent ran out and
It was impossible for others to manu
facture it without damage salts lids'
company made tremendous profits.
The demand for the gimlet pointed
screw was. of course. Immense, and
the company dhl not know what to do
with Its profits.
All of Its dray horses were carefully
selected blacks, and tremendous prices
were paid for good slock. The harness
was of patent leather trimmed with
red, while the wagons plying back and
forth tie!ween the factory and the
docks or i tic railroad bad rod under
gear to nmteh the harness trimmings,
and Hie u heels were decorated with
gold leaf. 1 I carat line. But this is all
past. Today the pointed screw can be
purchased at any corner store for a
few cents a package. Wall St reel

Cape of Good Hope.
The I’.tpc of Good Hope lies at a con
siderable distance from the cud of
South Africa and Is. in fact, live middle
of the three projmmtorles. severally In-j
conspicuous, which Jointly tcrmlnnte a
slender peninsula sonic twenty miles in!
length forming the barrier between
False bay a ml the Atlantic ocean on
file west. These three headlands, lying
near together and commonly undivided
on a map of moderate scale, are locally
designated Cape Point. It was here
that Bartholomew Diaz first encoun
tered in full force the prevalent south
easterly gales and denounced the rug
ged. threatening, threefold promontory
under the sounding appellation of the
t'upe of Storms, to l>e afterward tv
christened by pious, trustful hearts the
Cape of Good Hope.
How to Prevent Croup.
It may be a surprise to you to learn
that in many eases croup can be (in
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Etid;,
Ohio, relates her experience us follow. :
"My lit'le bey is subject to croup.
During the past winter 1 kept a bottle
of Chamberlain's Dough Remedy in t 1 e
house, and win n he begun having tha
emupy cough 1 would give hint one or
two doses of it and it would break the
attack. I like it better for children
than any other cough medicine because
children take it willingly, and it is safe
and reliable " Obtainable everywhere.
It is much easier to tell how u tKir g
ought to be done than it is ti make
good when you try to Ho it yourself.
It sometimes happens that a marriage
license furnishes a man with an txeu>e
for trying to drown his troubles.
Will Prevent Smut.
Every man should how at least one
acre of wheat and two acres of oats
for every head of stock he plows. All
seed should be treaud for blast or
smut, before sowing. The following is
a sure preventative for smut. It has
been tried often, and is used by hun
dreds of fanners the country over;
To one pound of full-strength for
malin add 40 gallons of water. Place
the gruin on a clean floor, and with a
sprinkling pot apply one t allon of the
formalin solution to each bushel of
grain. Turn theoats with a shovel until
all are thoroughly wet. The seed should
then be cov. red with a canvas or sack for
two hours, after which they should
be spread out to dry. Where the seed
are sown by hand immediately after
treatment, drying is unnecessary.
Formalin can be had at any first-
class drug store, and at a cost of Ies3
than two cents per bushel.
A farmer wrote to the editor of an
agricultural paper as follows:
"I have a horse that has been afflict
ed for Ihe last yeir with periodica!
fits of dizziness. Please let me know
what I should do with him, as he seems
to get worse instead of better. I am
afraid he will be unfit for work if some
thing is not done soon."
In the next, issue this answer ap
peared; “When the nag is looking all
right, sell him to some one.”

Serious Sickness
"A stitch In time saves nine,” Is an
old anil trite saying, but It is never
theless true. Common colds aril a
constipated condition are the founda
tion of much serious illness and dread
disease that could be avoided if
prompt attention were given to the
first so-called slight ailment.
Every family can provide prompt
treatment for these first attacks of ill
health—and every family should bo
prepared for an emergency by having
on hand that standard old family
cough syrup. Foley’s Honey and Tar
Compound, for the relief of coughs,
croup, whooping cough, irritated and
inflamed throat, tight and sore chest,
grippe and bronchial coughs.
Foley Cathartic Tablets are just the
tiling for constipation and sluggish
bowel movement —a wholesome laxa
tive and cleansing cathartic. They
do not gripe or cause nausea or in
convenience and are particularly wel
come to stout people
