Why Read a Local Paper.

People are naturally supposed
TO be interested in happenings
near their homes. If one is not
interested in his home surround
ings he is not likely to be inter-
ested in anything. If you care
nothing for your home and its
improvement, why live there?
In fact, why live at all?
A new cement sidewalk in
front of your house, or a new
sewer that will drain your pro-
perty is more important to you
lhan the Jap-Russian war, the
price of raw cotton or the cleo
ton of the mayor of New York.
The local paper tells YOU about
the things most interesting to
you. 1t chronicles the births.
deaths, marriages and neighbor-
hood happenings of your own
community. 1t tells about the
contemplated public improve
ments, the news of the shops and
factories of the region every
thing that goes to make up the
sum total Of your daily life.
A property owner that does
not keep posted by taking local
paper cheats himself. A citizen
Of any community who considers
himself public-spirited will justi-
fy his claim with difficulty unless
he is a subscriber. A newspaper
is the cheapest thing on earth.
BY means of the printing press
thousands can have the full re-
suits on the work of a few men.
The local happenings ola large
territory including your home
and its surroundings are of
greater interest to any man than
anything else on earth. If not
they should be. This intelligence
is delivered to your door every
week for two cents. Is it not
worth it? Can you afford to do
wouthout it? As a citizens. a
householder. a property owner,
a business man--your duty to
yourself demands that YOU sub
scribe for the local paper. If
you can't afford a dollar a year,
read the paper at the barber
shop or the corner saloon. If
neither Of these get it, tell the
proprietor that he is neglecting
his duty to his customers and pa
tronize a live one.
The local paper does more to
build up a community than any
other industry. The local paper
contributes a greater proportion
to charity than any other local
business enterprise. Church no.
tees. free advertisement of so
ciety entertainments, unpaid sub
criptions contributed by necessi-

paper is worthy of the name,
don't insult your intelligence by
neglecting to read it. If it is no

Treatment Of Lousy Live Stock.

~ ~sHS NfS StOSns
Farm Stock that become badly
infested with lice during the win
ter months do not thrive rs they
should, and in the spring may
show marked unthriftiness. This
is especially true when stock are
not well cared for and in young
animals.
The sucking lice are more
dangerous than the biting varie-
ties, as the former have mouth
parts adapted TO penetrating the
skin and sucking the blood of
the host. However. the symp-
toms may be aS marked in sheep
and other animals, that are bad
ly infested with biting lice. In
such cases the wool or coat be-
comes matted or detached, and
the skin irrilated and infamed as
a result of the animals rubbing,
biting and scratching the parts.
Good care during the winter
will prevent the lice from doing
great deal of harm, and the
simpler remedies, such as mercu-
rial and sulphur ointment rubbed
back of the horns or ears and
along the name and back, and IN
sect powder busted into the coat,
may help in destroying them. A
thorough treatment of the herd
with dips or washes cannot be
practiced during the winter
months, unless the the treated
animals are prevented from
catching cold. A favorable time
TO use this line of treatment is in
the spring. A one or two per
cent. water solution of a tar dis
infectment should be used. A
convenient way to apply the
remedyin the larger animanls is
with spray pump, and in sheep
and hogs by dipping. Whatever
method is used the coat and skin
must be thoroughly Wet with the
solution. Proper care should be
taken in mixing the remedy, as
there is danger of making it too
strong and irritating the skin.
After treating the herd, the
stables, sheds, or sleeping quar-
tiers should be sprayed with
about a two per cent. water So
luton Of the disinfectant or
whitewaSh may be used instead.
This is necessary in order prevent
re-infecting the herd from the
surroundings. If there is much
litter around the yards and it
cannot be gotten rid of, it is ad-
visable to move the herd to other
yards. Tar disinfectants of one
or two per cent. solutions do not
destroy the nits or eggs, hence it
is necessary to treat the animals
again in ten days or two weeks.
Stockmen sometimes ask if the
feeding of sulphur to lousy ami
mails will not drive away or de-
the lice. The feeding of small
doses of sulphur will do no harm
neither will it help in getting rid
of the lice, and it cannot be con-
remedy for this class of
disorders when used in this way.
Sulphur is effective, however,
when used externally, and the
addition of four ounces to every
gallon of the tar solution used,
greatly increase the effectiveness
of the remedy.
