PEACHES ARE ALL RIGHT
‘Cold Waves Came In Time to
Prevent Disaster.
Brightest Prospects in View for Some
Fine Fruit Reports President Bagley
of the Georgia Fruit Exchange.
Allanta, Ga.~The fruit growers all
over Lhe state, so President Bagley ot
the Georgia Fruit Exchange reports,
are glad to have the cold wave come
at this time, for it prevents whal
was {eared to be a disaster to the
peach crop in this state,
The rather immoderate hot wave
which had been existing until recent
ly throughout the state had put the
growers in a state of fear, because il
was thought that a continuance ol
such conditions would cause the buds
to grow to such a state that when a
cola wave did come they would be
killed. As the buds Lad not devel
oped to the dangerous stale when
this cold wave presented itself, Lheu,‘
is now danger of an off year as far
as peaches are conceruned, but the
brigntest prospects for some flncf
fruit. |
THE BRITISH SYSTEM,
Agricultural Training in an English
County,
The education committee of Chis
hire county thinks that the schools
should aid in the vocational trs.ning
of the youths of that county.
In England the girls look atter the
thereiore, maintains one school for
special instruction of women in the
dairy and the poultry, 'The county
dairy work and the management of
poultry. lach course extends over
thirteen weeks and three courses are
offered each year. Eighéeen stua?nts
are provided for in cach course. NGI
great numbers are sought, but solid
preparation for these actually expect
ing to engage in the vocation. Peri
patetic courses are given in these
subjects in the elementary schools in
a more elematary manner.
Then there is the counsey agricul
turali and horticultural school with ac
commedations for forty-five studerits,
with a three years’ course of instruc
tion in all subjects connected with
farming and gardening and care of
farm animals, There is a faculty of
ten instructors, The laboratories are
well equipped for chemisiry and bi
ology. The school owns its own elec
tric light and water plant. The farm
is woriked by the students. A herd of
dairy shorthorns, a flock of sheep
and white Yorkshire pigs are kept.
The “duty list” is prepared each
week for the students’ work from
6:30 to 8, and again in the evenings
under the following heads: Coms,
dairy, stable, cattle and calves, Dpigs,
poultry, In this way DYy actually at
tending to the various sections the
students become practically tfamiliar
with the wants of the live stock.
We have s somewhat similar ar
rangement in our district agricultural
schools. In fact, these schools should
#l] somewhat the same place as the
county agricultural school in Chis
hire. Ours still lack sufficient scien
tific eqiupment and thorough textboox
and laboratory training to supple
ment the outdoor work. This was
planned, but as yet the equipment
and teaching force has not been suf
ficlent. I believe that the counties in
each district should give scholar
ships to those district schools, and
the state should grant one scholarship
from each county to the agricultural
college.
The school hours are as follows:
6:3o—Farm and garden duty.
B:oo—Prayers and breakfast,
9:00-12:30 — Lectures, laboratory
work, etc.
I:oo—Dinner.
. 9:00-4:00—Lectures and practical
work.
s:3o—Tea.,
7:oo—Revision of lecture work, etc.
B:oo—Prayer and supper.
10:00—Lights out.
1 consider the county agricultural
school at Holmes Chapel a practical
sehool, well taught, and eminently
fitted for the needs of the agricultural
classes,
A new feature in this county was
the payment of a lecturer on sick
nursing. Each course consists of six
lectures and these are given in dif
ferent school centers in the order of
application to the director of educa
tion.
The work in nature study is ‘more
systematically carried on than I have
geen in this country. The instructor
in nature study holds classes in va
rious counties for instruction in na
ture study 'for teachers in chemistry
schools, The ordinary classes meet
once a week and congist of lecture
and demonstrations followed by bo
tonical exercises. The lecturer also
attends at elementary schools to give
at least three lectures on these sub
jects, The railway fare of teachers
to the lecture centers is paid by the
‘board of education.
Similar classes are organized for
fpstruction in physical drill and the
fastructor supervises the work
throughout the schools.
The government issues a physical
drill manual which is used through
out the nation in the elementary
schools. ‘This drill is as much a
part of the day’s work as arithmetic.
gt is a modified Swedish system ar
ranged by army officers. We might
ra.m another lesson here. We should
ngist upon medical examination and
yegular physical drill in all of our
{bchools.

At a banquet in his honor, given
by the Augusta chamber of com
merce, Mr, B. H, Harriman, the rail
way king, outlined the policy of his
rallroads in the state of Georgia, and,
in condensed form, they are as fol
lows: If the people of the state will
cease to be antagonlstic to the rail
road Interests he will spend ten mil
lion dollars on the Central of Geor
gla railroad, of which road he Is the
controlling factor, and that if he im
proves his property, the other roads
will have to do likewise, Hls address
was impromptu and’ he took up state
ments of the leading speakers of the
evening and defined his future atti
tude in this state, He complimented
the people of the state upon the elec
tion of Honorable J, Brown to the
governor’'s chair, and said that he be
lieved it would result in prosperity
to the entire state, Mr, Harriman
came to Augusta for health, and he
gays that he has gained back his
Lealth, “It is up to Georgia to raise
the embargo,” he said. He only
vouchsated a promise of railroad ex
tension in this state insofar as the
attitude of the law and public senti
ment will justify.

he became involved in an affray with
a man in his congregation and that

President J. J. Connor of the board
of trustees of the SIOO,OOO Agricul
tural college at Athens and also the
president of the State Agricultural
scciety of Georgia, while in Atlanta
recently announced, definitely, that
the “Agricultural College on Wheels”
would not be operated this year, as
first contemplated. The reason giv
en for this action is not on account of
any lack of' co-operation by the roads
in Georgia or opposition by the rail
road commission of Georgia, or lack
of interest in the train by the plant
ers of the state, for these three ele
means were heartily in favor of the
train, but because of the splendid
growth in the interest of the Agricul
tural college, which would prevent
Dr. Soule and his able corps of as
sistants from devoting the time ne
cessary to the trip at this juncture.
President Connor had just returned
from Athens, avhere he has been in
attendance at the Tarmers’ institute
and that of the Farmers’ wives. He
declared it has been so successtul
that it had been decided to repeat
the conference next year. At this
conference some of the best known
authorities on agricultural topics in
the state were heard in lectures. One
of the chief industries generally dis
cussed at this conference was that
of cattle raising in Georgia. Dr. Soule
is bending all of his energies in this
direction. He is an ardent advocate
of the uge of cotton sced meal mixed
with hulls as a feed, having made ex
periments whereby it has been prov
en that by feeding a ton of this mix
ture, properly proportioned, five hun
dred pounds can bhe added to the
weight of the cattle fed. It is accept
ed as the cheapest as well as the best
feed on the market, and has been
pointed out in using it the southern
planter helps himself who furnishes
to the miils the seed from which it
is made. Dairy demonstrations, too,
proved its splendid qualities for mak:
ing more and richer cream. The soil
tests where cotton seed meal is used
in a commercial fertilizer, demon
strating its value there, will be made
early in the sprfllnz.“ Sl

BRAISED TONGUE.
Braised beef tongue baked and serv
ed with tomato sauce, spaghetti and
boiled potatoes makes up a combina
tion on one of the hotel bills of fare.
An old housekeeper braises fresh beef
tongue in this way: The tongue is
thoroughly cleaned and boiled for
twenty minutes or half an hour. A
slice of onion minced fine is cooked
to a golden brown in two or three
tablespoonfuls of drippings. The {2t
is strained and put into the roasting
pan and the tongue is put on the rack
over it. A cupful of boiling water
{s turned in and the meat is cooked
without covering for fifteen minutes
in a hot oven, the meat being turned
two or three times during the period.
Then a cupful of hot water is turned
in, the roaster is covered and the
tongue is baked slowly for about two
hours, being basted every half hour.
At the end of the time a sauce is
made with the fat in the pan, season
ed with tomatoes and a little minced
parsley. The sauce is turned over
the tongue before sending to the ta
ble.—New York Sun.

Coffee Was the Cause.
Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by
following our elders.
In this way ill health is often fast
ened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
“I had been allowed to drink cof
fee ever since I can remember, but
even as a child I had a weak stomach
which frequently refused to retain
food.
“The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as I
found out later, the cause of the
stomach rebelling against food.
“I now see that it was only from
following the example of my elders
that I formed and continued the mis
erable habit of drinking coffee. My
digestion remained poor, nerves un
r*rung, frequent headache, and yet I
did not suspeect the true cause.
“Another trouble was a bad, mud
dy complexion, for which 1 spent time
and money for creams, massaging,
etc., without any results.
“After T was married 1 was asked
to try Postum, and would you believe
it, 1, an old coffee toper, took to Pos
tum from the very first. We made it
right—according to directions on the
pkg. and it had a most delicate fla
vor, and I at once quit coffee, with
the happiest results,
“I now have a perfectly clear,
smooth skin, fine digestion and
haven’t had a headache in over two
years.”
