There were seven mature joints on the specimens and, within the next thirty days, there will be seven more mature joints, A great many Pearsonites went to Arabia church, over in Clinch county, to the annual meeting. Many of our people have relatives living in that vicinity and they take advantage of the annual meeting to see the kinsfolk. Pearson has an ordinance pro hibiting the getting on or off a moving train, but it lies dormant on the ordinance book. No effort whatever is made to enforce it. Better look after the lwiys before some of them get killed. Summer Specials GCLhUA) pp]HE REFRESHING breath HI! of Summer causes thoughts ol love, summer hats and the dainty new spring fashions.

Mrs. Stewart and the baby is still in Atlanta in a sanitarium and while both are get ting along very nicely it was not prudent for them to come home just now'.

The latter desires to publicly thank Judge Bryan for the uniform court esy extended io him as a member of the court over which he has presided so successfully for more than a year past.

Soy Bean Grazing For Hogs John R. Fain, Prof, of Agronomy, Ga. State College of Agriculture. The principal use in the South for soy beans will probably be as a graz ing crop for hogs. On sandy soils It cannot compete with peanuts, but on heavy soils the growth is luxuriant From 200 to 600 pounda of pork can be secured per acre from grazing soy beans, varying somewhat for the pro ductivity of the soil and the variety of beans. The grazing period ia not long since the pods burst shortly after •ripening and there ia considerable waste unless grazed rapidly. About sixteen 100-pound hogs per acre are required to utilize the beans to best advantage If hogs are put on when the beans are In the dough stage. The beans will carry this number of hogs from two to four weeks, depending up on the condition of the crop. War Bread Mlti Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su pervisor Home Economics In an endeavor to reduce the to tal consumption of wheat flour a num ber of substitutes have been tested and with very good results. For in stance, a substitution of peanut meal for 25 per cent of the flour will re duct the amount of shortening and pro duces a muffin which is delicious, or Boy bean meal may be used with equally good results. One very good mixture ia as follows: 60 per cent whole wheat flour, 25 per cent corn meal, and 26 per cent peanut meal. Not only is the war bread less costly to produce, but it is more nutritious and more appetizing. Try it on your table and see what the family think of it! B. T. ALLEN. 15. H. ALLEN, ALLEN & ALLEN.

The Best Way J | | Is to take your Shoes to Martin’s i J Shoe Shop before they wear too \ Thirty Miles \V*V, to the next Shop. Located in AN- v, Adams Garage Building, look for J. S.

It Will Repay You to Give Them Prop. er Care and Attention. We all wear shoes. If we manage them rightly they will last longer, we will not need so many row ones and there will be more left for others. The following suggestions from the leatji er and paper laboratory of the United States department of agriculture can be utilized by every one who walks; Shoes should be oiled or greased whenever the leather begins to get hard or dry. They should be brushed thoroughly and then all the dirt and mud that remains washed off with warm water, th* excess water being taken off with a dry cloth. While the shoes arc still wet and' warm apply the oil or grease with a swab of wool or flannel. It Is best to have the oil or grease about os warm as tire hand can bear, and It should be rubbed well Into the leather, preferably with the palm. If necessary the oil can be ap plied to dry leather, but it penetrates better when the latter is wet. After treatment the shoes should be left to dry In a place that is warm, not hot. Castor oil 1“ satisfactory for shoes that are to be polished; for plainer footgear neatsfoot, fish oil or oleine may be substituted. If It Is desired to make the shoes and boots more water proof beef tallow may be added to any of these substances at the rate of bulf a pound of tallow to a pint of oil. The odgo of the sole and the welt should he greased thoroughly. Too much grease cannot be applied to these parts. A simple method of making the soles more durable, pliable and water re sistant Is to swab them occasionally with Unseed oil, sotting them aside to dry overnight. Many of the common shoe polishes are harmful to leather. All those which contain sulphuric, hydrochloric or oxalic acids, turpentine, benzine or other volatile solvents have a tendency to harden the lea tin* and teake It more liable to crack. It Is poor economy, too, to wear a shoe with the heel badly worn on one side. This throws the shoe out of shape and may soon result In Its ruin. It Is also likely to cause temporary Injury to the foot. Hair and Cold Water. To make your hair grow use cold water as It runs from the hydrant Apply the water to your hair with your wet hands and run your fingers through what hair you havo or rub your scalp with your wet cold hands. This exercise will bring the blood to tho scalp, and only from the blood can you get new hair or make tho hair you already havo more luxuriant. You can not get hair from grease. Nothing In the world Is so good for tho hair us cold water applied with the wet hands until the water has reached the scalp. But do not immerse your head in cold water. This Is all too much of a shock.—Los Angeles Times. AUGUST 4th. AUGUST 18th. These are the dates that we will be at our Pearson of fice. After September Ist., will be there regularly.

DETERMINING FACTORS’ IN BEEF PRODUCTION Must 3e Considered By Fa mer Who Expects To Raise Or To Finish Beef Cattle In order to make a frlr margin of profit the farmer, according to Dr. Soule of the State College of Agricul ture, should ascertain whether he has on hand or can obtain at a reasonable* cost the type and class of cattle from which he may expect to make a pro fit; he must either have or be will ing to supply himself with such equipment as is necessary; he must take into consideration the question of foodstuffs, both concentrates and roughage; and finally he must have a market where he can easily dispose of his cattle after he has finished them. Animals with a blocky conforms- tion and those general character istics which distinguish the beef type may be depended upon, if properly fed and handled, to make good gains and a profit for the owner. Anitnals with a dairy conformation have no natural covering of flesh and, though they may make fairly good gains, much of the fat will be found around the intestines rather than in the re gion of the most valuable cuts. We are prone to believe that with our mild climate shelters are not ne cessary, but statistics show that in the south 25 cattle out of every thou sand die from exposure, while in the northern states with their rigorous winters only 3.6 cattle die to the thousand. In Georgia la; I year sl, 045,000 worth of cattle were lost through exposure and disea e and the total for the fifteen southern states runs between 75 and 100 million dol lars annually. There need not he a costly building but a cheap shelter with a leanto roof and open on the south side can easily be provided. Experienced feeders consider a silo as almost absolutely necessary for the economical feeding of live stock during the winter months. Land that has formerly been planted to cotton may be devoted to oats or a mixture of oats, crimson clover and vetch for hay. Following this the grou : should produce a second crop, cowpia hu.y, and the oat land may make the corn for the silo. Those who prefer may use sorghum or kafir corn for the silo Instead of field corn. There should be an abundance of tame pastures, such as Bermuda, burr clover, and Japan clover. Where lime Is widely used, alfalfa can he grown success fully In all parts of the south. It is needless to say that cotton seed meal will be the main concentrate supple mented with corn or oats, when necessary. In order to finish cattle with any degree of satisfaction they should bo fed from 90 to 150 days. For the 1000 pound animal keep an abundance of mixed hay In the feeding rack til all times; feed dally Ho to 40 pounds of silage, 4 to d pounds of cotton seed meal, and 6 to 7 pounds of shelled corn. A Disadvantage. "Do yon think 'The Star Spangled Banner' Is a good song?” "I don't see why It Isn't a perfectly good old anthem.
