Agriculture For the Common Schools.
jlany communications have come
|to this Department in recent years
tsk’ing us to recommend a work
ible as a textbook on agriculture
Pith the view of having it introduced
hto the carriculum of our common
Schools and also from many farmers
desiring a work on general agricul
ture in the south. Until recently we
have had nothing of that
bind prepared by any of
our own people, who are best ac
tainted with the needs of the farm
ers of Georgia and neighboring South
em States. This department sug
jested to Professor J. B. Hunnicutt
editor of The Southern Cultivator
be preparation of a work of this kind,
bd invited the co-operation of Profes
sor G. R. Glenn at that time School
Commissioner of the State of Georgia.
Such a work by Professor Hunnicutt
has just been issued from the press
[of the Foote & Davies Publishing Co.,
bf Atlanta, and is, therefore, a genu
ine home production, well adapted to
|he farmer boys and girls of the South.
Every farmer should take pride in
his profession; for without such a
Sentiment he cannot do hie best work
By pursuing proper methods he can
Instill the same sentiment into his
(children, so that they will find both
pleasure and profit in learning how
j make the soil grow good crops.
If farming is ever to reach the
place which it should occupy, it will
he where the children have been
jaught its usefulness and beauty in
‘he school room.
Tbe work of Professor Hunnicutt is
so simple that even a teacher, who is
entirely ignorant of the theory and
practice of farming, can use it with
profit to his pupils and himself.
Many books have been written on
agriculture, but they are all more or
less treatises on agricultural chemistry.
This work avoids this channel, but at
the same time adheres strictly to sci
entific truth, while expressing it in
plain language.
It teaches the history of agriculture,
treats of the composition and kinds of
soil, their preservation and improve
ment; how plants grow, the proper
use of manures and fertilizers; the se
lection and planting of seed with the
needed preparation of the soil for
their reception; the cultivation, gather
ing and storing of crops; the proper
methods of marketing, and the best
investments of the profits that accrue;
treats also of farm labor, farm ani
mals and implements; of every kind
of farming; and, in fact, takes a gen
eral and comprehensive view of every
thing that a farmer or a farmer’s child
should know. The tables in the ap
pendix are just what every farmer
needs.
The Department of Agriculture
heartily endorses this work, and hopes
that it will be adopted in every school
and find its way into every family In
the south.

MAGAZINE
f&r 1B03
It is important to the magazine readers of the country that
some announcement be made regarding the literary features
of Pearson’s for 1903—important because the new manage
ment which took hold some months ago decided upon a radical
and pronounced improvement in the character of the maga
zine. The policy of making Pearson’s as much different
from the others as possible, will be carried out to the letter.
Many excellent stories and special 'articles have already been contracted for, but it is not possible
for us to here mention more than a few of them. We will call this a nut-shell announcement.

“They tell us,” said Major Hanson
in Atlanta, “that we have a state full
of pretty women and fine men. It njay
be true of the wonen, but these tax
returns indicate that the men are a
lot of d—n rascals.’”
Dr. J. H, Daniel left Monday after
noon for a trip of several days on the
road.
Mrs.J.^W. Mayson of Buford, was
here recently a guest of her sisters,
Mrs. W. J. Porter and Mrs. J. B.
George.
Major Hanson in his Atlanta speech
the other night, said that the time was
coming when the people of this coun
try would invoke government legisla
tion to prohibit competition.
Mrs Easterlin Here.
Mrs. J. D. Easterlin of Marietta, who
is at the head of the womans mission
ary work of the Baptists in Georgia,
was here last Thursday afternoon, be
ing tendered a meeting at the First
Baptist church to which all members
of the society were invited. Mrs. Eas
terlin made a very instructive and en
tertaining talk, an i the meeting was a
very pleasant one. Miss Armstrong,
who was also to haye been present, was
unable to do so on account of a delayed
train.
No Hair, No Pig.
The federal department of agricul
ture, which has apparently give up its
attempt to breed a clean or hairless pig,
has now turned its attention to feather
less chickens, which it hopes to produce
before a great while. It cannot be said
that there has arisen any great de
mand for chickens without feathers, ex
cept when they are dressed for the
table, yet the department is quite sure
that a chicken that wouldn’t have to be
plucked would be a boon and a bene
faction. The featherless chicken, it is
claimed, would be larger and heavier
than its commonplace kindred, since
the food energy that now goes to nour
ish the feathers woud be devoted to in
creasing the flesh- on the fowl, there
being no feathers to need nourishing.
In handling 1 the fowls for market, the
item of plucking >?oul4 be saved, thus
adding to the economy of growing the
new breed. A scientist connected with
the department says it is to be expect-
f ’
ed that in the evolution from the feath
ered to the feather less fowl, there will
be some change in the physical con
struction, but just what that change
will be ha cannot foretell. A good idea
would be to have two more legs, thus
producing four “drumsticks” with each
fowl.
The moment the British and German
war dogs ceased to bark up the coast,
the Venezuelan revolutionists opened
up bnsiness at the old stand. It would
seem that Castro’s bald forehead could
hardly lie easily, if it were crested
with a crown.
If all the powers are to help the Uni
ted States maintain the Monroe Doc
trine whom will they maintain it a-

they might play “button, button,
whose got the button ?’’ with it, while
calm- eyed Peace plied her knitting in
the corner as chaperone.
Two political oddities afe reported nT
late dispatches.. In Michigan, Thomas 1
J. Navin oi Detroit, who served a term
in the penitentiary for forgery, has
been appointed by the Governor a mem
ber of the State Prison Board and con
firmed by the Senate. The appointee
says that his life in prison gave him
ideas of reform which he wants to work
out. He is a leading Republican polit
ician in Detroit. At Fairchance, Pa., a
man who has been in jail for some time
on a charge of murder was the other
day unanimously nominated and tri
umphantly elected a member of the
City Council. The Pennsylvania man is
a Democratic politician.
