HOWTO RAISE
BABY_CffICKS
Put Avicol in the drinking water.
Most people lose half of every hatch,
and seem to expect it. Chick cholera or
white diarrhoea is the trouble. The U. S.
Government states thatiover half the
chicks hatched die from this cause. •
..... An Avicol tablet,
\ placed in the drinking
_c? 1 -k.' water » will positively
save your I,tt * e chicks
.r from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the
sick ones will be as lively
as crickets. Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes
‘ , them grow and develop.
Mrs. Vannle Thackery, H.. F. D. 3, St,
Paris, 0.. writes. “I had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven’t lost any since.
They have grown wonderfully.’’
It costs nothing to try Avicol. If you
don t find that it prevents and promptly
cures white diarrhoea, chick cholera and
all bowel diseases of us and
your money will be refunded by return

AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BOX
Aly Dear Children: I believe I have found a place where your be
nevolence will bring in good results. This place is called Faith Cottage,
and is really a part of the Berry school at Rome, Ga. The youngest child
at the cottage now is two years old. If we assume the care of a child
there for a year Miss Berry will send us her picture and her name. We
will have to gather together a hundred dollars, and this will mean her
clothes, her food, doctors’ bills, if any are necessary; Christian training
and motherly love. Aliss Berry furnishes what means another hundred
dollars, so you see we would have someone as interested as we are to
share the happiness and burden of her care.
Aliss Berry does not want us to send anything during the year but
the money, for she says all the children cannot have special attention
from the outside, and so those who do not, feel hurt, and she wants them
all to be equal and to be happy. Os course she would want our love
and interest to go out to “our little child,” and she would keep us in
formed as to her progress. The children have regular and perfect in
struction, so their little minds are ready and waiting for higher study.
Os course we can only look ahead a year at a time, but isn’t it nice to
think that we might take the care of a child like that and be able to
see that her training and education continued each year through our
generosity?
Please write me—all letters to get in not later than May first—what
you think about this. Address your letter as usual—“ Aunt Julia’s Letter
Box. Tri-Weekly Journal. Atlanta. Ga.”—and in one corner of the en
velope write the word “Education.” In that way I can get at these letters
soonest. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
P. S. I forgot to tell you that if we adopt this idea we will not
only be taking care of a helpless American child, but providing a scholar
ship for the child as well.
Good morning, Aunt Julia! Hello, cousins!
I have come in this morning asking permis
sion to be with you all. I'll promise not to
stay very long, as I’m very busy. I
will stay longer next time. I guess you all
enjoyed Christmas to a great extent. Oh,
yes, I had a wonderful time. I live on a
farm, one mile east of Bowdon Junction, Ga,;
eight miles north of Carrollton. Ga. I like
farm life fine. Well, I will describe myself
and go: Light hair, gray eyes, fair com
plexion, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weigh 152
pounds, age seventeen years. If any of you
girls and boys want to correspond with a
Georgia hoy. let your letters fly. They will
all be appreciated. 1 will answer them all.
Yours sincerely,
ROY ROOKS.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
Military Training
The congress of the United States
is considering the plan of training
the young men and boys so that the
nation will not be caught unpre
pared if war is thrust upon us in
the days to come.
There has been animated debate
upon this subject. Many were in
favor of ' compulsory training. It
was very objectionable to my mind
It smacked too much of Prussia and
the ex-kaiser’s methods. In Ger
many, before the late war, every
boy in the German empire had to
serve a stated time as a soldier.
Doubtless that was the reason that
Wilhelm thought about war, until
he plunged into it. He had an im
mense army mobilized in his midst,
and they had to be employed at war
or they might get into a war in
side the empire. Satan always findr
some mischief for idle hands to do
and the military spirit had to ex
pend itself either abroad or at home
Watching this development and the
tendency to fight, which naturally
grows out of constant military ac
tion, as in Germany, I was more
than anxious to see what congress'
was likely to do. Compulsory train
ing means that all youths between
certain ages must go into military
camps and practice at soldiering so
a considerable time, maybe several
years; and it looked so much like
the kaiser’s plan that I was afraid
of it. The vote came in the house
of representatives a very few days
ago. It is up to the senate at this
time, and the senate is said to be
favorable to the bill, which passed
the house by a big majority.
The bill as accepted by the house
allows military training, but this
military service must be voluntary,
not compulsory. The boys who are i
inclined to be soldiers can enter these ;
military camps and be equipped with i
uniforms and guns for trial practice,
but those who are engaged in com
mercial or industrial pursuits cannot
be torn away from such pursuits
against ’ tneir will, to spend their
early manhood in such military
preparation, to their own detriment,
r;-. ’, s r. v ’’ e!l understood that these
United States can call every able
bodied man to the colors in case of
foreign invasion or in times of in
surrection or rebellion against estab- ,
lished and constitutional govern
ment. Therefore lam very much op
posed. to compulsory, training in
camps in peace times. I am also
and have always neen outspoken !
against army conscription. It proved
a failure in the Civil war of the ’6o’s.
Conscription in Confederate times
seemed to take the enthusiasm out of i
the armies.
We seemed to get on down-grade '
when the army of Dee and Johnston •
were recruited by force and the peo
ple subject to conscription between ■
eighteen and forty-five made haste '
to get into commissary and quarter, i
master departments and political in
u’ous with the political pull I
—filled them with favorites.
Deserting increased. Many went I
across the lines—and did not return ’
until peace was declared. Voluntary
service o>- preparation will be legiti
mate. There are many youths tha f i
will run away to join the army—so:
’.rong is their infatuation for sol- '
diering. Those youths will be glad 1
o volunteer.
, I trust the u. s. senate will adorn
ns vo'untay feature ’and tba’
’resident Wilson will sign it, whe
m sent to him. I should he very
u’en alarmed, when production la
or is so badly hamiiened—because
■-•o many soldiers are still lt> o’lr j
military camps, to add to. or make
oe-manent this feature of proposed I
military service.
ANT SUCCESSFUL FARMING
br Ai/drewM. 6ovle
JUDGING HOGS
Judging live stock is as much of
a fine art as is associated with any
profession, but. of course, it has its
difficulties and limitations. One
cannot always tell from exterior ap
pearances the type or character of
the animal with which they have to
deal, but they can certainly discrimi
nate between the scrub and the
worth-while type of hog to select
for breeding purposes. One does not
have any difficulty in observing the
difference between a good type and
a poor type of cotton or wheat. We
are impressed frequently with the
wonderful differences existing be
tween fields of cotton. We have
thought a good deal along this line
and realize, therefore, that the va
riety selected has much to do with
the returns and profits secured from
planting cotton. Our interest and
study, and therefore, appreciation
of live stock is of more recent orig
in; hence, we are just beginning to
really study and analyze the indi
vidual animal iq order that we may
acquaint ourselves with the desira
ble characteristics to seek in breed
ing stock and eliminate the undesira
ble animals from our herds and
flocks, as the case may be. High
standards in animal breeding are as
important as in other fields of ac
tivity, for on foundation stock de
pends the character of animals which
will be developed later. Therefore,
a general knowledge of the points
to be studied in selecting breeding
stock becomes a matter of concern
to every one handling farm animals.
Some of the points to be studied and
considered have, therefore, been as
sociated together and are set forth in
definite order below.
The first thing to study is the sex
character of the animals concerned.
Boars should, of course, have a well
defined masculine appearance. Stur
diness, ruggedness and character are
all qualities which tne noar must
of necessity possess. While the sow
should be vigorous in appearance,
have plenty of bone and a well mus
cled body, she should naturally be
finer in all respects than the male
and show a decided femininity in
appearance. Animals selected from
any breed, race or type of hogs
should possess what may be termed
the characteristic breed type of the
class they represent. While there
may be much room for argument as
to the merits ert' different breeds,
it is all beside the issue in so far
as this statement is concerned, be
cause wherever one wishes to special
ize in the maintenance of animals of
a certain type or race, it.is of the
utmost importance that he raise ani
mals possessed of the most highly
specialized characters of the breed
concerned.
In selecting breeding animals it
is desirable that the head and face
should be short and broad. There
should be plenty of width between
the eyes as an evidence of intelli
gence and brain development. Brain
development is as necessary in one
set of animals as another because
the brain controls the nerve cen
ters and the highest types of ani
mals have necessarily the best de
veloped nervous systems. The nose
should be tapering and should con
form to the general characteristics
of the breed and type. The eye is
an indicator of the health and vigor
of an animal. It should, therefore,
be clear, large and bright. It should
not show a large amount of white
color nor should it be restless nor
present those evident signs asso
ciated with bad temper. The ears
naturally vary with the breed, but
in most instances should incline to
be small. A rather neat, fine ear
is an evidence of good quality—a de
sideratum which cannot be over
emphasized in breeding stock. The
ear should also be well under the
control of the animal because this
shows that the nervous system is
well developed.
The neck should be short, deep
from top to bottom and should be
well rounded Out. It should blend
smoothly, not* only where it joins
the head but the shoulder as well.
In other words, it should be free from
surplus or loose flabby flesh and
yet of sufficient strength and size
to blend smoothly into the shoulder.
While the jowl should be well de
veloped it should also be neat and
firm and free from soft or flabby
flesh. The shoulder is an import
ant point to notice. It should be on
a line with the back and side and
should be broad, deep and well cov
ered. The chest should be large so
there will be plenty of room for
lung development. On this account
it should not only be broad, but wide
from side to side and deep and
roomy. A good girth is therefore
an important matter, and in order
that these ends may be attained, it

.With these binders it is possible to cut stubble —get right

platform, adjustment permits doing this. -And the reel is designed to
handle grain in any condition. It can, be lowered, raised, swung for

short or tall grain, and has a band-placing range of from jo.to 24 inches
from the butt of the bundle.
The names McCormick and Deering and Milwaukee are favorably known
wherever there is agriculture. They are guarantees of high quality and operating

is desirable that there be plenty of
space between the legs.
The back should be examined care
fully. It is. desirable that it be
slightly arched because this gives
strength to the conformation and
provides a means of utilizing the
muscles most effectively in carry
ing young in the case of the fe
male. The back should be broad
and uniform in width from end to
end and should blend imperceptibly
into the shoulder and ham. It should
be well covered with flesh which
is relatively soft and pliable but
firm. Over-arching of the back is
to be avoided and all animals tend
ing to sway back should be avoided.
The sides of a good hog will be full
and deep from top to bottom and
smooth from end to end. The sides
should not be wider than the hams
and shoulders and should cut off
straight on the underline. To attain
this end the ribs must be well sprung
so as to provide a good barrel for
the body of the animals. The flank
• should be well filled and full and
straight. An animal cut up in the
flanks will not. produce a well fill
ed out ham, and, of course, ham con
stitutes one of the most important
and desirable cuts obtained from
swine. The ham and rump are points
to consider with especial care. The
rump should be straight relatively
speaking, and broad and full. It
should also be long and have good
depth. The ham should be well fill
ed, especially at the stifle and heav
ily moated down to the hock It
should be full, not only on the in
side but the outside as well. Where
these characteristics are found ani
mals when sent to the slaughter will
produce a larger amount of meat
from the parts indicated than would
otherwise be true They are also
more likely to be possessed of a con
formation to insure their possessing
bodilv strength and vigor than ani
mals' -which depart markedly from
the characteristics indicated.
The feet and legs of breeding ani
mals are important considerations.
They are relatively long-lived animals
or ought to be. They will therefore
have a good deal of weight to carry
about for several years. On this
account it is desirable that the legs
be straight and strong. They should
bet set wide apart, but after all,
fairly well under the body. The
pasterns should be looked after with
especial care. It is desirable that
they be strong. The hoofs should
possess an erect appearance and the
toes should be relatively close to
gether. Where these characteristics
are met with the animals are much
less liable to break down in the feet
than would otherwise be true, and
many a valuable breeding animal has
been Injured or its mission of serv
ice cut short because of its inability
j to carry around the body weight it
is expected to support. Defective
feet are therefore to be avoided.
The coat of an animal selected for
breeding purposes is a good indica
tion of its ability to assimilate and
utilize food with advantage. Breed
ing animals must of necessity pos
sess superior digestive and circula
tory powers in order to perform the
service expected of them satisfac
torily. Especially vigorous animals
will therefore be found to possess
a coat which is relatively smooth
and uniform in length. It will also
be free from what are known as
swirls and will be relatively fine
as to texture and oily to the touch.
As animals depart from these char
acteristics they will in the great
majority of cases be found to fall
materially below the standard of
what one should seek in the founda
tion stock of a breeding herd.
The color of hogs will vary with
the breed. It is desirable where a
good breed is selected that the char
acteristics color markings be definite
and pronounced. As to size that will
vary with the age and breed, but
there are certain standards which
should not be overlooked if we are
to maintain the quality of the ani
mals we. are seeking to develop.
Boars two years of age should not
weigh less than 500 pounds, while
sows of the same age will weigh
about 400 pounds When boars are
eighteen months of age they should
weigh approximately 400 pounds and
the sow 300 pounds. At twelve
months of age the boars will weigh
300 to 325 pounds and the sows 250
to 275 pounds At six months of
age the boars and sows will approxi
mate 150 pounds in weight. As
the animals depart from these stand
ards one of several things is evident.
Either they are undersized or else
they lack in vigor and quality or
they have been improperly or insuf
ficiently fed. While one of course
can overdo size, there is proably a
tendency to select animals at times
of too much refinement. Undoubt-

edly, some breeding animals are
hurt by overfeeding, but a good manv
suffer from the fact that they were
not pushed forward with suificient
vigor when they vcere relatively
young.
To the layman action and style in
an animal may not mean much, but
to the breeder they mean a good
deal. Action means a quick, vigor
ous lifting of the feet, the symmet
rical movement of the body, and the
freedom and play of the muscles.
Animals possessing these qualities
will show style and beauty in ap
pearance. Condition is another point
which must not be overlooked. It is
best evidenced by an examination of
the skin. When this is free from
scurf or scale or sores, it is self
evident that the body 13 in a vigor
ous condition and that the digestive,
assimilative and circulatory processes
are working to the best advantage
and that the nervous system is in a
highly efficient state. When these
indications are present good health
is self-evident. When the flesh,
however, is scurfy or soft and un
evenly put on, it indicates that the
animal is not assimilating and dis
tributing the surplus food which
goes into the production of flesh or
fat properly over the body. Animals
which do not lay on the flesh
smoothly and evenly should there
fore not be selected for breeding
purposes.
The disposition of any animal
chosen for foundation herd purposes
should be quiet and gentle. Docility
is a characteristic one should always
seek. On the other hand, excessive
sluggishness or indolence is to be
avoided. Any one giving considera
tion to the points set forth and
examining an animal systematically
in the manner indicated should be
able in a comparatively short time
to choose breeding stock of high
quality with considerable success. If
the facts indicated were generally
known and appreciated we could
weed out a lot of the undesirable
animals in our herds of swine at this
time and improve materially the
standard and quality of our hogs.
