We hear farmers saying quite fire.
quently that they actually lose nom
ey, everything considered. growing
certain crops or keeping certain kinds
of stock on the farm. The question
naturally suggests itself, why do they
continue on in such losing game II
they are satisfied that such Is the case !?
The truth Is, too many farmers Just
guess at these things. and in fact do
not know to a dead certainty Just
where their profits come from, or
where losses have been sustained at
the close Of the seasons operations
With competition becoming closer all
tho while more system must be put
into farm practice. and we must know
better just what we are doing in the
future than we have III the past, II We
are to feel that we have received Just
and satisfactory reward for our labors.

CARROLL CO.
CREDITORS RESORT TO ALL
THE DODGES
IN SETTLING CLAIMS
Farmer Finally Declared
to be Bankrupt.

Carroll county creditors got into a
scramble and mixup over the adjust
ment of some claims that finally cul-
minated in the appointment of re-
ceiver last evening by A. M. McCarty,
referee in bankruptcy, of Canton.
The case runs about this wise. The
wife of Albert M. Harrington, who
lives near Scroggsfeld. died. and
Squire Thomas G. Donaldson, who
settles nearly all the estates in that
section of the county, was appointed
administrator of ner estate, which con-
sisted of so acres of land upon which
there was a mortgage. When ii came
to settle up the estate ii was discover
ed that the husband, who owns 157
acres of land, was involved, and the
Cummings bank and Judge James
Holder began proceedings to foreclose
certain mortgages. which they held
amounting to about $4,000. Herring
ton went into probate court at Carroll
ton and made an assignment and
Squire Donaldson was appointed as
signee.
Matters got a little more complicat-
ed and Judge Holder, in order to pro-
tect his second mortgage, went to
Cleveland and sought Judge Wing, of
the U. s. court, to have Harrington de-
clared a bankrupt. Several other
creditors Joined him in this, among
them Thomas Buxton and A. r. Rou-
debush. Judge Wing not being at
home the matter was referred to A.
NJ. McCarty OF Canton, who last eve
ming appointed Judge Holder receiver
He will take charge of the property
and hold it until trustee is appoint
ed by the creditors, thus taking it out
OF the hands of Donaldson.

EMOTIONAL HAIR
Within Few Hours Turns
Gray and Black.

Not only Is emotional" hair we'll
known to medical specialists, but
every hairdresser of experience rec
ognizes it frequently in connection
with his own customers.
With some peculiarly constituted
people the hair is affected by every
passing emotion and not only does 1t
reach the extremes of crispness or
limpness within very few hours, but
1t varies in color vastly. This latter
popularity is SO well recognized by
every hair-dresser that some members
of that calling are prepared to say def
initely of a given regular customer.
BLANK is not well or he has some
great trouble on his mind just now"
Many man who appears exceeding
ly gray on one day is comparatively
dark-haired the next, and cases are
known where the single white locks of
hair that sometimes are found on
head otherwise wholly black has dis
appeared almost entirely and then
come again. That is to say, the white
tuft has gone ALMOST black like the
surrounding hair and has then become
quite white again and so on.
We all know what use Shakespeare
and other dramatists and poets have
made of the influence of emotion upon
human hair, but one of the most cele-
brated detective inspectors now at
Scotland yard said to the writer in
regard to this subject:
when | have put my hand sudden
ly on the shoulder of some man
was arresting | have actually heard
the rustling of hair, or thought
that | could. At least have seen all
the hair about the ears palpably
move like that of an animal, and when
that man has been sentenced after
ward his hair. that had before seem
ed to be crisp and bristly, has appear
ed dark and thin and poor"
Two of the best known hairdressers
in London have assured the writer
that they have customers who go
gray and black again within a few
hours. One instanced the case of a
financial magnate who came to grief
and was tried for fraud During the
proceedings he went iron gray, but di.
rectly he had been acquitted his hair
returned to its normal color--of course,
quite without any artificial means.
Another strange fact is that there
are a comparatively limited number
of people whose hair will never take
any dye, no matter what 1t may be,
successfully and thoroughly. Bottle
after bottle of hair dye may be ex-
pended upon 1t, but 1t will never take
any pigment properly.

Potatoes FOR Feed

"A bushel OF corn has a nutritivs
valuo equal to that Of half dozen
bushels OF potatoes, but the potatoes
may be SO used that they may have
food value much greater than the bare
analysis indicates. Succulent food of
this character, given in the winter
when an animal has otherwise only
dry feed. aids In the digestion Of the
grain and coarse feed. In the case. Of
cows where silage IL not used gal
Ion OF potatoe, fed Immediately after
milking, does not materially affect the
flavor of the cows milk, and increases
the amount. A peck of sound pota-
toes Is often given, though this amount
is hardly safe when the best milk and
butter are required. Horses are bene-
fited by an occasional feed of potatoes.
For hogs the potatoes should be cook
ed. Small potatoes can be utilized in
this way, and in limited quantities
are worth ten cents bushel in a
year of average prices OF feeding
stuffs

surprise. He relates the story In this
way:

SANDSTONE.
Natives Believe 1t Alb
serbs Poison.

South Africans, as a rule, trouble
themselves but little about snakes, al
though 1t is very well known that a
lew varieties are particularly deadly.
Among the natives the properties OF
the "snakestone" have for many gen.
erations formed a center of half super
stitious credulity, and, even by people
who might be expected to know better.
have been supposed to effect the most
surprising cures of snakebite. An in
vestigation of its properties by the gov
ernment bacteriologists of Natal, who
submitted an Indian snakestone to the
test of applying 1t to animals infected
with snake venom, has shown conclus-
lively that its properties are quite
mythical and that 1t does nothing that
is claimed for 1t. -
According to tradition the snake
stone, which has absorbant qualities
and which there Is some reason to be-
lieve is frequently artificially prepared
is placed on the wound infected by a
snake. There 1t Is believed to suck out
the poison, and it has been said that il
afterward placed in bowl of milk the
venom will exude and the milk turn
blue.
In certain experiments narrated in
the British Medical Journal all these
directions were followed. To the two
rabbits injected, respectively with the
venom Of black mamba, very dead
ly South African coulbrine, and with
puff adder venom, the snakestone was
at once applied. The stone, by virtue
of its absorbent nature, adhered to the
wound, but here its adherence to ira
dtion was ended, Both rabbits died,
and, what was more disappointing,
two other rabbits, used as control
experiment" which were injected Will
the same amount of venom, recovered
Nor when the stone was placed In
milk did the milk change color, though
a slight quantity of It was absorbed.
The amount of absorption that the
stone could possibly effect would be no
more in hours than ordinary suction
by the lips could achieve in few min
utes. and its only possible usefulness
might be that of improving the ply
seal condition Of the patient by i'm
pressing him with the belief that
valuable remedy was being applied ~

JOURNALISTS
Not Needed in Conduct
of This War.

New York Tribune: Whatever may
be said Of the present East Asia war,
and whatever may be its result, 1t has
thus far been an unprecedentedly bad
one for the special war correspondent.
Never before, perhaps, was there so
prompt and numerous gathering Of
those adventurous scribes, or so earn
est an effort on their part to get to the
forefront and thrill the world with
news sent from amid the crash OF
shot and shell. Never before, certain
ly, were enterprising intentions so
completely baked. Russ and Jap, so
bitterly opposed in most other things,
agreed In saying to the correspond
ents, Thus far shalt thou CO. and no
further" and the thus far" was gen.
orally among the tombs of Moukden
or the tea gardens of Toxic.
Now and then a correspondent has
witnessed actual fighting But of the
old style correspondence, forecasting
the movements of the armies and an
nouncing in advance the plan Of cam
paign, there has not BEEN a line. This
war is being run for the sake of mill
tary advantage, and not for the sake
of copy" Nor is there any indica-
tion of a change. The censorship
seems likely to be maintained in full
rigidity all through the war Nor Is
even that all. There are those who
are saying, with a show of reason, that
thus a precedent will be established
for the suppression of the special cor
respondent in all future wars.
1t may be so. From one point of view
there are reasons why 1t should be SO
The fact is that in modern conditions
Of warfare the war correspondents may
easily become a practical spy. Indeed,
it is not easy for him to avoid doing
so.
In old times he might accompany
headquarters, learn the plans of cam
paign, write about them as fully as
he pleased, and send the matter to his
paper without harm. BY the time his
letter could get to the enemy through
tho slow process of the mails, the
plans he had disclosed were executed.
But now the telegraph and cable have
changed all that A correspondent at
Fengwangcheng, let us say, might send
rews to his paper in London or New
York of General Kuroki's plan of ad
vance against General Kuropatkin,
and 1t might be published in that pa
Fer and be transmitted to Kuropatkin
at Liaoyang within an hour, or long
before the movement it disclosed had
begun.
Such sending out of news would be
fatal betrayal OF military secrets,
such as every prudent commander is
bound to prevent Nor is that all
The wireless telegraph has added a
new peril to the situation. 1t has
practically placed the special cores
pendent in one camp in direct commu-
rication with the enemy's camp.
No wonder commanding generals on
both sides are insisting that the CORES
pondents, at least with very few ex
coptions, shall keep so far to the rear
that they will not know what is 60
Ing to happen until it has actually hap
pened.
