Here is a recipe for the famous ap ple bread that was served with duck in the days before the civil war. Rub through a pound of sifted and warmed ‘bread flour two-thirds of a cup of but ter and three heaping tablespoonfuls sugar. Dissolve half a compressed yeast cake in a cup of milk tnat has ‘been scalded and cooled to lukewarm. Add to the flour and mix to a stiff batter. Add again three eggs well beaten and beat the batter till it blisters. It needs be very stiff. Cov er and let rise overnight in a warm place. In the morning it should be nearly doubled in bulk. Divide in two portions and roll out in cakes about half an inch thick. Spread one with rather tart apple sauce, cover with the other and let rise together about half an hour, then bake in a moderate over until well done. As soon as taken from the oven spread with more well cooked and sweetened apple sauce, dredge lightly with sugar, sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon and set back in the oven long enough for the sugar to melt, Serve hot.—Washington Star.

She makes pound rolls, and her butter al ways commands, the highest price her customers preferring it to creamery butter. Mcre goed cows are now going into dairy herds than ever before. Keeping the records of cows and what they will do in a year is weed ing out the poor ones. Improved strains. of potatoes are receiving attention by breeders with the expectation that the average yield throughout the country will be greatly increased in the near future. By sanding the cranberry beds and by better drainage with ciean cultiva tion the grower can control the frost problem. The insects which injure cranbérries have been studied by Federal investigators and some good methods of controling them have bedn devised. Keep the poultry house clean and neat and your efforts will be amply rewarded by the egg basket and kind wonrds from your friends. ; IChicks will not thrive in damp and wet and ill ventilated coops, and it is worse than useless to try to suc ceed with them under such unfavor able conditions.

Beavers have been accumulating In the State to such an extent that they have destroyed preperty in some instances and the owners of th},- pro perty have had to apply to the game commissioners’ office for permits to kiil them. Anthony Sneeve, a wealthy cattle man, living fifteen miles up Brush Creek from Gypsum, Col., secured a permit recently and brought in ten hides a few days ago. He built a half mile fence from quaking asps last fall cn one portion of his ranch, but wne winter being long the beavers’ supply of food ran out. They sallied forth and found that fence a tempting morsel. Every post was cut off close to the ground and the beavers then cut the rails into short lengths, stow ing those in their huts until they were ready to eat the bark. Then they carried the wood out and float ed it down stream. A Mrs. Bond, living half a mile be low Pine in Platte Canon, also se cured a permit to kill a beaver colony on her place. She planted a hand some grove of shade trees a few years ago and they are now in a flourish ing condition; but a colony of beav ers built a dam in the Platte during the late winter and they insist upon stealing her nice, soft shade trees unless she stands over them with a club nearly all the time.—Denver Re. publican. FOLKSTON, GA., JULY 22 1909 FARMERS PROSPEROUS Financial Condition the Best Since Civil War. it Planters Will Be In a Position to Hold Crops Until Markst Conditions = Improve. X Albany, Ga.—Should the condition of the cotton market early in the season not be such as to cause the farmers of south Georgia to desire to sell their cotton they will be in position to hold practically as much of the crop as they please until mar ket conditions improve. Never in the history of this section since the eivil war has the financial condition of the farmers been Dbetter than now, and as a class they are in an exceedingly optimistic frame of mind. sis One thing which will have a potent part in rendering the farmers -com paratvely independent during the com ing fall will be the size of food cropk. Without a doubt, southwest Georgta is producing this year the greatest crop of corn in the section’s history. Not only has the acreage been greatg' increased over preceding years, -'bg‘t the condition of the crqgp was never better, and the average yield per ao;f‘e will be phenomenally high, lntensi.fie methods have been intreduced in the corn fields of progressive farmers, and the lesults are fiattering. i MAY BUY RAILROAD.

The bill received 29 votes, lacking only a single vote of passing the sen ate, a two-third majority being re quired in the case of constitutional amendments. The president’s favor able vote would have passed the mea sure, but as he was opposed to it, he did not vote. The senate, after considerable dis cussion, passed the resolution by Sena tor Mathews proposing the appoint ment of a joint committee of three from the senate and five from the house to make investigation into the tax laws of the state and report such proposed legislation as will bring more full ard complete returns of proper ty subject to taxation, The house approved the bill allow ing street railways to grant free transportation to policemen and fire men, but extended the provisions of the bill as reported by the committee 50 as to include employees of the waterworks and sanitary departments of cities. Speeches on the floor point ed out that these men were - also valued defenders of the city’s health and welfare, apd should be allowed to receive this courtesy if the rail ways were inclined to extend it. The anti-tuberculosis bills of Dr. Brown, of Fulton, failed for want of a constitutional majority, When the anti-expectorant bill failed by 5 votes of ruv(wi\in;.;' the requisite number to permit its passage, the other bill to regulate the barber's trade was tabled by one of the framers of the bill, A Dill to deter foreign insurance cempariies from removing cases to l.hr‘ federal courts on penalty of for feiting their charters was passed, after a brief struggle., The movers explained that the bil was intended Lo put foreign companies doing bus mess in the state on the same basis as local insurance companies, The house passed the anti-trading stamp bill, by 113 to o, : Mr. Lewis of Hancock sought (o have Hm‘ house reconsider its action in voting down the bill to permit juries In criminal cases to agsess punish ment as well as declare the guilt or innocence of the accused. The house overwhelmingly voted down the mot ion to reconsider, After g hearing lasting ali the afternoon, the senate general judiciary committee agreed to report favorably a bill by Senator Gordy, of the twenty rr)m'th,'which provides for the con t'lelmnat..mn of water powers under cer tain circumstances, with an amend “"" At providing that the power de ;'l‘(l.‘}’ln”(‘f(‘.zn(l;:\" ”’N:’ water taken under l;;- et ’;{T?ndhon‘ ]:l‘(J(:f,"(!(IIII}.(S shall g or publie utility purposes | The Verdict. ~ “A lawyer from New Orleans told me abhout a jury trial in a little ob scure village somewhere in Louisi ana, OC. course, I don't know Just how true the story may be, but he looked to me like a specimen of the ‘ eminently truthful sort. Strange as it may seem, the jury in this trial was made up entirely of negroes. It geems that all the available white men were either at work or had gone hunting or fishing. And, anyway, it being a case of one negro charged with stealing from another, the in. terest of the white people of the plece, of whom there was a conspicu ous minority, was not sufficlently in volved for it to make any difference. “When the evidence was all in and the prosecuting attorney, a white man, of course, had submitted the case without argurflent—the accused fortunately, had no counsel—the judge, also a white man, ordered the jury, which cbuld not agree in the box, to retire to an adjoining room and find a verdict. - *"The jury retired. An hour passed and still no verdict. At last the judge could stand it no longer and went in pe'rson to see what was delaying the verdict. -He found each of the jury men crawling around on the floor, peering under chairg and tables and also into corners. The court was - amazed. He di¢ not.know whether the whole juny had gone crazy or what was the matter. * “‘Here!" 'he thundered, ‘What are you doing? . . “The foreman arose and making humble obeisance, answered: “ ‘Yo' Honoh, taint no use; we jes’ kaint find no vuddict in dis hera room. TFact is, yo Honah, ' I dean b'lieb dere's a vuddiet in here no 'how.' "—Washington Post. * Farmer's Rat Exterminator. ' Rigdon Johnson, a farmer living ‘near New Harmony, has a rat ex terminator which he says ‘beats a whole pack of rat dogs. Mr. John son’s rat exterminator is a chicken snake about six feet long, and it has taken refuge in the barn and gran aries on the farm. All the year it wages incessant war on the rats and mice about the place, and as a re -sult of the snake’s strict attention to business Mr. Johnson says he hasn’t a rat or mouse on his 260 cres of land. He says he never has ~glven instructions to miempers of nis family not to injure or molest the snake in any way, and intends to allow it to make its home or his farm as long as it cares to remain. A chicken snake is not a thing of beauty and appeargs to be a vicious reptile. It is a black snake with white spots covering the back.—2Mt, Vernon correspondence Indianapoks News.

HOME TESTING A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee. To decide the all important ques tion of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical alls and approaching fixed disease, one should make a test of 10 days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum, If relief followsg you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: ‘‘l had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and terrible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were always great coffee drinkers and let us children shave all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not ac knowledge that it caused my suffer ing. “Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. 1 had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. 'The headaches and nervousness disap peared, and whereas I used to be gick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. “T had been using Postum three months and had never bheen sick a day when I thought I would experi ment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I hegan to drink coffee again, and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced *that coffee was the cause of all my misery, and I went back to Postum, with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future.” Read the little book, ‘“The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. ‘‘There’'s a Rea~ gon.” Ever read the above letter?
