BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Even if nothirur worse trans pires, some traitors in this coun try are likely to be taught the value of respect for the flag un- which they.get their bread ai d butter. Between providing 1 ixuries for the inner man and the outer wo man, this life is just one Jong wail of bills. Scientists tell us the sun will shine only 15,000,000 years long er. Get a hustie! When a bashful fellow pops the question and she promptly snaps him up, he begins to won der what in thunder he ought to do next. The war, after all, might have been worse, Only 5,000,000 men have been killed thus far, with 10,000,000^ or 1 'so minus leg:-,- arms, eyes, and "other portioi s of theiejanatomy. Yes, it might be worse! “Eggsshaved two cents,” says an exchange. Gash! We al- ways'jthought those storage com panies kept them until they grew beards, and now we have the proof. "Food Prices Take a Tumble, ” says a headline. Another fake! While preparing for war on a larger scale, let’s not forget to swat the fly. He’s little, bu he’s loud. Health authorities predict that the habit of riding in automobiles will make Americans a legless race. We have noticed a tenden cy in that direction, especially as it relates to pedestrians, ~ “Mexicans sub - itting to the bath,” says a southern dispatch. Impossible—don’t believe a word of it. Stop The “Big Leak” $1,000,000 A MONTH SPENT FOR HORSES AND MULES CAN BE SAVED. By M. P. JARNAGIN, Professor Of Animal Husbandry, 1 Georgia State College Of Agriculture. Six years ago the animal husbandry division of the State College of Agri culture, at Athens, purchased a pair of high grade Percheron mares for $470.00. These animals have done regular team work for six consecutive seasons, and considering their extra value for heavy hauling, it is believed they have been worth as much in ac tual farm work as any pair of mules owned by the farm. The idea of securing this team was to demonstrate that farm works toe k could be produced at home, and the “big leak” of $1,000,000 a month for the purchase of northern raised horses and mules was useless waste. In tne six years these animals have raised eight foals. Seven of them were sold, in the main as colts, for the sum total of $1,100.00, and one filly retained on the farm. It. is thus demonstrated that the by-product of a pair of brood mares is a very valuable asset to the owner. The mares are still sound nnd are good workers, and both are again safe in foal. It will be noticed this Is a striking contrast to the showing made by the average pair of mules, purchased for the same amount of money, when It is remembered the mares in addition to doing the work of a pair of mules, have much more than twice overpaid for t! uiselves in the sale of colts. The mares were taken out of work 10 days to 2 weeks before the foals y/oie horn and were returned to work when the colt was 10 days old. By breeding the mares so as to drop the colts before the rush of spring work, this loss of time is negligible In the course of the year’s work. There are more than 50,000 mares i In the State of Georgia which should he producing foals at the present time. \ Every one of the entire number should bo bred to sound registered draft stal lions, or to big boned, strong jacks. I The College has assisted in creating 1 a greater interest in livestock produc-' lion in the State than ever before. I Much assistance lma been rendered ■ citizens in the location of purebred j animals, and in the formation of clubs in various communities for the pur chase and cooperative use of purebred sires. Fair Play. Mr. Editor: We would like very much for you or Col. W. I. Dorris or some other smart man to explain what the dancing star, which appeared directly in the south about a month ago, means. It can be f.ejn in the early part of the night and seems to be coming north. We are told by the old people that just prior to the civil war, there arose in the north a bright star which finally set in the south, that a great chud of smoke would shoot out lrom that star and settle in the south, and that the old men at that time told them there would be a bloody war to follow, and that their prophecies came true — which no man can deny. Is it Villa dancing around on the mountains of Mexico, fixing to invade this land of ours when it becomes “bone dry?” This is mighty cool weather for our solons to to try to pass a “bone dry” law. If Uncle Nat is in earnest about that law he should hi ve waited till August. A lot of our li g slators have not got off their Christmas drunk yet. Jeff Bryant’s entire family of 14 have had the measles. They are all doing well except Jeff. He is afraid he will never look like anything any more. Otis Griffith.

Recently our friend, Dake, of the Douglas County Sentinel, changed his paper from a six column to a five column paper, , which adds to its appearance. He is also getting up a fine edi torial page.—Greensboro Herald- Journal. Thanks brother Williams. We appreciate this coming from the best edited weekly paper in Geor gia.

McHATTON, Prof. Horticulture, Ga. State College Of Agriculture There are 300,000 farms In Georgia. If each farm had a home garden and made $25.00, it would return a profit of over $7,000,000.00 lo the state. If each home orchard made $10.00, it would mean a profit of $3,000,000.00 to the state. The College has records of home gardens of one-twentieth of an acre that produced $25.00 net last year. This is at the rate of $500.00 per acre. We liave records of small home orch ards that netted from $10.00 to $15.00 last year. This is not an excessive rec ord from a home orchard. * The boll weevil has arrived. The successful fanner who expects to pros per under boll weevil conditions must live at home. The home orchard and home garden are important factors in the boll weevil fight. Do not neglect either. Bot Fly Of The Horse By Dr. W. M. BURSON, Professor of Veterinary Medicine, Georgia State College Of Agricul ture, Athens, Ga. The mature bot fly of the horse closely resembles a honey bee. During hot weather the female fly deposits eggs on the hairs of the neck, breast and legs of horses and mules. The eggs are cemented tightly and are quite difficult to remove. The eggs hatch, and the larvae crawl on the surface of the skin causing a tickling sensa tion. The horse or mule licks itself, and the larvae are transferred to the mouth and are then swallowed with food. Upon reaching the stomach, they attach themselves to the mucous membrane lining by means of booklets with which the heads are armed. They remain in this location for about 10 months and gradually reach their maxium growth. Having attained full growth they release their hold and pass through the intestines to the ground with the manure. An earthy coccoon forms around them and they lie dormant for a time, finally emerg ing from the coccoon as fully develop ed adult flies. If horses and mules are constantly supplied with salt the in festation of the stomach is kept at a minimum. HERE’S GLAD NEWS FOR YOU We have a beautiful assortment of new Spring Suits for Ladies.
