Hurhi/y Dmnagfnd Corn. ( : - rK>x. -I have ;:n opportunity of | buy in.: a ini'pe lor 1)1 damaged corn at a redo -cd price. Is it n safe feed for cat tlo uud In ? I know that it is danger¬ ous to t'eod to horses and mules. A • - v. i i: - I, would advise against tho fceiiin.T of ; tin igo.i corn to stock of ; . • vi wi m. While a little of it, fed to oatrla ami hogs al-mg with other food, might not produce serious results, It could unr, if much damaged, bonelit them materially. If cattle or hogs eln aid to confined and fed -ex -lusively on damaged corn for u considerable length of time, I have no doubt that ser ous sickness and d • itn would result to many of the animals. In addition to this, I ani sure that the meat from animals so fed. would neither be as pala¬ table nor as wholesome an that produced i by fording sound grain. It is a well J known fact that the ft*, i of animals is [ •\ 1 by the {»>>,) they eat, ami an ex elusive diet of damaged corn must, iu my opiiii in, r suit in badly flavored, is:, i p.'s -i v, ■ wholesome meat.

I think I them improperly, and would like some information on tiie subject. Answer. — Confine tlio lien after hat'-hing for at least three weeks in a pcnectiy dry coop, with openings for the little ones to ran in and out. By that time they will be strong enough to follow .the mother, who should be turned ont daily after tlio dew has dis ippearod. Feed the little ones four times a day, for several weeks, with well cooked corn bread, mixed up with either but term ilk or clabber, and with chopped onion tops liberally added to the mix tura After tlicy are as large as half grown chickens a -feed morning and night will answer, and by that time the food may bo any of the grains and uu cooked. By feeding ns suggested, care fully keeping off nil vermin aud pro tooting the little turkeys from hard rain.;, yea should raise at least three fourths of those hatched.—State Agri¬ cultural Department.

Answer.— Poultry lice will get on horses and cattle and cause them a good deal of atinoyanco, but they will not breed there. Tho little chicken mite, hardly visible to . the naked eye, are very troublesome on horses or cat tie, and therefore chickens should never be allowed to roost in tlio stables where these animals are kept.—State Agri¬ cultural Department.

The Conyers Volunteers. The Volunteers arrived hofne last Monday afternoon after week at Camp Northern and were banquetted at their Armory at night by the ladies of town. The occasion was a pleasant one and the young men of the Volunteers, though weary and worn with the weeks work in Camps, were on hand with their jolly good humor and a full sup¬ ply of camp life Incidents and jokes of side-spliting proportions. The good ladies of Conyers are the saunebest friends the Volun¬ teers have, and the boys are one in tliier unbounded love and appreciation of this friendship. They have received encourage¬ ment at the hands of the ladies since the Company was organi eJ, and this, in a large measure, accouts for the honrable position the Volunteers hold in the ranks of the soldiery of the state. It inspires the boys with inspira¬ tion that is lofty in purpose and ambitions to excel. At Camp Northeu the boys distinguished themseleves for elticiency in 4.-111 and the raaay other duties that falls to the lot of soldiers.
