One of Forsyth’s Sunday sc hoot teachers, who happens to be a dry goods merchant, and who was engaged in teach mg a class of little tots a few Sabbaths ago, asked, when lu¬ ll d finished explaining the lesson: < i Now has any one a ques¬ tion to ask?’, A very small girl raised ber hand. I i What is it, Mary?” asked the teacher. Thu little girl replied with . gome abashment; *‘I wanter know what you charge for them little red parasols in your show winder.” It is needless to state that the sweet little thing pot all the information . . one desired * . , on tl e parasol Chronicle, One on the O’d Man •‘l)o you know what m> f.tthor would have (lone if 1 had boon caught doi g end i tiling 9” asked an if to phis father ot his li de son according to the Scimitar.

Of course every' farmer ; n Georgia knows the excellence of the pea vine for hay and as a restorer of wornou. «oi . and he is also familiar with the w pea as a nutritions food for the union cow. The con pea is also much t.si-d for the table a d sema varieties, n- Om black-eyed pea and Crowder p a. ere very palatable.—State Agricultural D*» partmeut. The Care of lines. Many farmers keep bees and pay con¬ siderable attention to thetu. These in dnstrions little insects bare been the theme of philosophers and poets from the earliest ages of the world until now. Their habits have been carefully stud¬ ied and many interesting things have been written about tlietn. While it is true, as a recent writer has said, that bees “will come as near doing some good with scarcely any at¬ tention as anything we tnay baudle,” they will pay better with proper atten tioti. If we want at uudauce of good honey we must see that they have in their hives abundance >'f stores for the spring months. Feed them well in the early spring, if they have not already a good reserve in their combs. A pound of sugar fed to them at tins time will ptnvo a good investment.—State Agri¬ cultural Department. i I- hi telling \v tin Corn. i QcKstiox.— What food is best for fab teumg?

Question.— state—i By a correspondent profitable from raise another Is it to hogs in North Georgia? 3. Will they fatrm if allowed to range through the woods? Answer __ 1. A great many hogs are raised ill North Georgia ami, like the beef of that suction, find a ready market. 3. Dining at least seven months of tho j year they range chestnuts, the woods hickory and grow and fnl i on acorns, nuts such other food ns they can pick up. Blit of course, like any other stock, hogs need tho attention and care of man to produce tho best re-ulta.—State Agri¬ cultural Department. Oonilrniird llfprool. Oceaslotutlly there is to lie found a proprietor of a secondhand bookstore \\ho is something more than the nature of his business would seem to indicate, tic regards his old and rare volumes rather as a collection than a stock of goods and experiences u pang when lie parts with one. A filppnut young man dropped Into a secondhand bookstore kept by a wan of this kind, Taking down several choice old books j linpptuied to treat of nbstrnse subjects | nnd did not appeal to him. “Are any of these books for hire?” be nskedcarelessly. “No. young man,’’ sharply answered the proprietor. “They are for lore.”— i St. Louis Republic'.

( mid anil (iiS'HVu Convention. On April Oth there will be held at Brunswick, Ga., a convention of those interested in the introduction of cassava cultivation into Georgia. They will also discuss tho advantages to Georgia of n very largo increase in the acreage of sugar cane. It is their purpose to make South Georgia a center of agri¬ cultural development and to promote the locating of luctories for refining - 11 gar and syrup, and others for making starch and stock food. Tho introduction of these new indus¬ tries will greatly add to tho population and wealth of Georgia.—State Agri¬ cultural Department. Advantages Possessed by Georgia. Fine farms, improved or unimproved, can be had in Georgia cheaper than in the North and West. The climate is not only pleasanter, but also more healthful. Secretary Wilson, of tho United States Department of Agriculture, in a late in¬ terview, said: “The South has marked advantages over tho North with regard to production. * * * The winters in the South are mild; grasses, grains and legumes can be sown in the fall, which grow abundantly through tho winter and upon which the dairy cow and the mutton sheep may glaze and thrive. The Squtli can prepare the spring lamb much earlier than the North can. “Tho Southern landowner under¬ stands horse-raising. There is always a "renter demand for saddle horses than is supplied. The world wants earriago ind draft horses and good roadsters. “Early spring chickens—tlm broilers— cau bo produced down there, because they have milder winters and milder springs. Should the market become overstocked, we can send this product abroad iu the refrigerated compartments of our steamships.” - IE throughout the above quotation from Secretary Wilson the word “Geor¬ gia” bo substitute! for “South” and “Southern,” the a...foments made by him will be equally applicable.—State A gricultural Depart meut. Pullinq Off a Table Punction. E. W. Howe says in the Atchison Globe that at a recent dinner in Atchison a colored man who former¬ ly worked as a passenger brakeman was employed to call out the differ¬ ent spoons and forks to use. When tho oyster ocktails were served, the colored man appeared at the pantry door and said iii the voice he formerly used in calling out stations, “T.’. e the small harpoon looking fork to the right.” When the biscuits were brought in, the man said: “Everybody look out now! Use the butter knife directly in front of your plate, not on the side. Don't put your dinner knife in the butter plate.” When the esculoped fish came on, the brakeman said: “Here is where the best of them usually fall down. Use,, the silver affair in front of your plate. It is a cross between a fork and a spoon and looks like a scoop shovel with one corner bent.” And so on with the different forks and spoons until the end “It was a good idea. Even the ; men got through without trouble,” says Mr. Howe. - • ►-« vour Cold Cured for 5©, j Get J>r, MtUf Uuoxtto9 CWtt Bentley s So Hu lit Is row in lull blast: You can sure oep cool if you buy your drinks of me- I keep a nice line of fancy gro eerie s- Be sure you go to J.
