Back to the Farm Mt Last.

A Kansas paper puts it in this way:
Every farmer boy wants to be a
school teacher, every school teach
cry editor would like to be a
banker, every banker would
like to be a trust magnate, and every
trust magnate hopes some day to own
a farm and have chickens, COWS and
pigs and horses to look after. We end
where we begin" The men who have
been raised on the farm, and have
love for country life may go to the
city and make fortunes, but nearly ev-
cry one of them has a longing to get
back on the farm, where they know
is the only truly independent and COM
forting life Would it not be better
for the young men on the farm who
realize what there is for them in ag
riculture, to be content to spend their
lives on the farm, and to be leaders in
the improvement of the soil, instead of
rushing into the hurley hurley of city
life onlv to find in mature life that
the farm is the best place for them?
True, there is this advantage in gain
ing a fortune in the city; the young
man learns business habits, and when
the old love takes him back to the
farm he is apt to make the best of
farmers. We have known many such,
men who have amassed q competence
in business and have acquired habits
in business that brought them sue
cess, and who by applying the same
business principles to the farm, have
made a great success as farmers
Some of the most successful farmers
we have ever known were just such
men, and their success shows that the
great need of agriculture is the appli-
cation of exact business principles to
the farm. The man who has spent
years in a successful mercantile life
knows the Importance of accurate
bookkeeping for success, and when he
goes on the farm because he loves the
farm life, he never does as the major
ity of farmers do, guess at everything,
but by accurate bookkeeping, he knows
just what the farm is doing and what
everything costs him. He knows the
Importance of buying for cash, and
keeping expenses down, if profit is to
be made. Why, then, should a man
have to spend the best years of his life
/ in acquiring such habits in the city
rather than learn to apply them at
once on the farm and grow up a bus
| mess farmer. And it is right here that
the education of t\e young man who
intends to spend his life in tilling the
soil comes in. Get the education that
fits you for the life you intend to fol-
low, just as the lawyer and doctor fit
themselves for their profession, and
then come back to the farm before the
heyday of life is past, and take the
lead among your fellows.-Practical
Farmer.

DON'T WANT LAIL.

Quincy Herald and Era: Work has
been going on several days on the new
Jail building, but the probability is
that the building will not be complet-
ed at once, if it is built at all. A num-
Der of citizens, believing that the price
of the JAIL 10,S7750, is far in excess
of what such a building should cost.
have retained counsel and will file a
bill of injunction to restrain Dobson
& Bynum, the contractors, from going
on with the work.

NEW COTTON AT AMERICUS.
Crusade Against COOns Results in
Capture of 10.

Capture of ITO.
Americas, Ga, Aug. 9.-Americus Will
receive two or three bales of cotton of
the new crop this week. The staple Is
opening to some extent, though pick
ing generally will not begin for three
weeks. Cotton is shedding badly as d
result of the incessant rains through
out this section. though no great dam
age will result. and the crop will be
quite as good as last year.
Americas warehousemen expect Wag-
on receipts for the next season to reach
$4,000 bales. while compress receipts
may run the total for Americas to the
rs, 900 hale mark.
The new Police Commission is going
to make a record in inforcing the
rules of that departmet. Two mem
bers of the force, Lieut. 7. NJ. Cobb
and Officer oliver, were suspended
yesterday for short term for slight
violation of the police regulations.
A coon hunt of huge proportions was
inaugurated by three farmers west of
Americas the past week, the result be-
ing 10 coons killed and a monster
wildcat. The coons had been raiding
the cornflelds, destroying acres of
growing corn, hence the crusade waged.
The wildcat was a huge beast, weigh
ing 80 pounds and measuring five feet
in length.
w. w. Wheeler. formerly chief of
police here, died Friday night and was
buried yesterday. He was IS years old,
and had been on the force continu-
ously for nearly thirty-five years and
for eight years as chief.

FLORIDA.
BREEDING Drown PELICANs.

The Fort Myers Press: Uncle Sam
now has an aviary of his own, where
he is breeding brown pelicans. The
reservation was acquired several years
ago by the government, but nothing
was said about it, as visitors are not
wanted. Pelican Island, on the East
Coast of Florida, on Indian river has
long been the home of the brown peli-
can, and has been overrun by hunt
ers. 1t is the only place where the
birds breed in colonies. and, as the
slaughter almost equals the increase,
there was danger of the species be-
coming extinct. Secretary Wilson Sc
cured an order making it a government
reservation, appointed a warden, and
gave him instructions that no one
sAould be allowed to land on the is
land without an order from the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. The birds for
years have been sought for their beau
tiful plumage for feminine decoration.
The brown pelican is found only on
the coasts of Florida.

SIX YARDS OF BAGGING.

Washington Gazette: A good deal
was said last season about the ad-
visibility of the farmers using only
six yards of bagging to each bale of
cotton, and while last season no de-
duction was made by the cotton buy
ers in this market in case of where
more than six yards were used it was
nevertheless true that some shipments
from this point were 'docked" for ex-
cess though none but the buyers knew
of it. In other places so cents per
bale was deducted for the excess. On
this account it may be wen that a
uniform quantity of six yards be
adopted by everybody and persons who
are in a position to know, think it
will prove profitable to the farmers.
If the buyers have to lose the excess
it is but naNlral for them to make a
difference in the price. The consumers
of the raw material peremtorily re-
fuse to pay for any excess over six
yards.

Sheen scah-Its Cnu.e and Cure.

A bulletin of Department of Agri-
culture gives us the following infor-
nation:
The disease commonly called sheep
scab is one of the oldest known. most
prevalent, and most injurious mala-
dies which affect sheep. 1t is a con-
tagious skin disease caused by a par
asitic mite Investigation has shown
that the disease is not hereditary. as
the parasites which cause it live on
the external surface of the body. 1t
is possible. however, for a lamb to be-
come infected from a scabby mother
at a moment of birth or Immediately
after The treatment must consist of
external applications for the destruc-
ton of the parasites and not internal
remedies to purify the blood"
The disease is one of the most seri-
Gus drawbacks to the sheep industry
and results in enormous financial
losses. The losses are due to the she'd
ding of the wool, failure of condition,
and the death OF the sheep. Yet, de-
spite its insidious nature, its ease of
transmission, its severe effects, and its
prevalence in certain localities. IL is
q disease which Yields readily to prop
er treatment. If all the sheep owners
of the country would dip sheep regu-
larly and thoroughly, there is no rea-
son why this scourge should not be
totally eradicated from the United
States.
In many cases, particularly among
owners of small focks, there are erron-
eous ideas prevalent regarding the ex-
act nature of the disease and the
methods by which it may be eradicated
il is to meet the demand for informa-
ton on the subject that this bulletin
has been prepared.
Sheep scab is a strictly contagious
disease. Common sheep scab is caused
by that species of mites technically
known as Psoroptes communis. Para
sites of this species cause scab In
horses, cattle. sheep, goats and rab-
bits but for each of these species of
animals there appears 10 be a dis
tinct variety Of this parasite.
BY far the most rational and salts
factory and the cheapest method of
curing scab is by dipping the sheep In
some LIQUID which win kill the para
sites. THE dipping process is as fol-
lows:
First. Select a dip containing sui
phur. If a prepared dip" is used
which does not contain sulphur. II Is
always safer to add about 1914 pounds
OF sifted flowers Of sulphur to every
100 gallons Of water, especially II, after

ALLIGATORs AFTER THEM.

st. Augustine Evening Herald: Jo-
seph Capo, who lives on Grove avenue,
and Joseph Schonders, who resides in
st. Augustine, had a thrilling expert
ence with two monster alligators late
~. They were out getting CLAIMS in
the San Sebastian river, when Mr..
Capo noticed a commotion in the wat
er and discerned two dark forms APP
preaching them. He called to his COM
panion and they hurriedly made their
way to the boat and jumped in. Just
as they rolled over the gunwale into
the boat two immense alligators dash
ed up to the boat. The boys were
badly frightened and quickly turned
towards home. 1t is supposed that
the saurtans were two alligators which
last winter escaped from Whitney's al
ligator farm, and made their way into
the San Sebastian. One of them which
escaped was nearly eleven feet long
and had already proved his prowess
by killing a bull. His 'gatorship oc-
cupied a pond in a pasture and dur
ing the dry season the bull essayed to
drink at the water hole containing the
alligators den. The gator caught the
bull by the nose and held it in the
water until the unfortunate beast
drowned.

Use of the Separator for Purifying
Milk.

Use of the Separator for Purifying
Milk.
Who first employed the separator as
a means of removing dirt from milk
is a little hard to determine says the
Indiana Farmer. That it should come
into use for this purpose was natural,
as anyone who has ever washed
separator has noticed the layer of
matter that gathers on the inside of
the steel bowl. This sediment is very
dark colored in the case of dirty milk.
The natural conclusion was that a
relatively large proportion of the dirt
of the milk was gathered with this
separator slime, and analyses of the
slime has shown that to be the cor
rect conclusion. Actual experiments
have shown the separator to have con-
siderable power in removing foreign
material, such as manure, from milk.
There have, however, certain points
been brought out by experimenters and
others which leave a little doubt as
to the real value of the separator to
the milk seller. AS was mentioned, ex-
periments and analyses have proven
that the separator removed a consider
able proportion of the dirt from the
milk. The work which illustrates this
to as good advantage as any was by
Dunbar. The following table shows the
result obtained by him:

Kissimmee Valley Gazette: The

diately prepare for planting sixty out

Total

The foregoing table would go to show
that the separator could be depended
upon to remove all but a very small
per cent. of the dirt. A number of
trials were recorded where a relative
ly large quantity of dirt had been pur-
posely added to the milk before sep
arating, with practically the same re-
suits shown in the table Considering
this result, if milk was sufficiently
dirty it would pay to run it through a
separator from the standpoint of COM
mon decency.

to the cd pastures.
Second. Shear all the sheep at one
time. and Immediately after shearing
confine them to one-half the farm for
two TO four weeks Many persons pre-
fer to dip Immediately after shearing.
Third. At the end of this time dip
every sheep (and every goat also. if
there are any on the farm.
Fourth. Ten days later dip the entire
flock a second time.
Fifth. After the second dipping,
place the flock on a portion of the farm
from which they have been excluded
during the previous four or five weeks.
Sixth. Use the dip at a temperature
of 100 degrees to 10 degrees F.
Seventh. Keep each sheep in the dip
for two minutes by the watch-do not
guess at the time-and duck its head
at least once.
Eighth. Be careful in dipping rams,
as they are more likely to be over
come in the dip than are the ewes.

SUES HOLY CROSS
FOR BLINDNESS.

a $4,000 damage suit was launched
In the district court today by Frank
Gitzhoffen against the Sisters OF the
Holy Cross, corporation, to recover
that amount for the loss Of his eye
sight, which he alleges was due 10
the negligence and incompetency OF
the nurses employed by defendant, who
attended him during the time he was
under treatment at the hospital.
II Is alleged In the complaint that
plaintiff was received into defendants
hospital on July %, 1903 suffering from
an affection OF the left eye. He ro-
NAMED In the hospital until Sept II.
1903 During that time he claims that
II was the duty OF defendant to fur
nish careful and competent nurses TO
attend 10 him, but notwithstanding
that fact It is claimed that the nurses
who cared for him were careless, un-
qualified and incompetent and did not
administer to him due care appro-
pirate to his disease. and, by reason OF
such neglect plaintiff suffered the
loss OF sight of the right eye and has
become totally blind, to his damage IN
the sum of $4,000.
