CANDIDATES FOR SECRETARY

Complications. attendant on dis.

keeping school trustees-elect on the
anxious seat regarding the organiza-
tion OF the new board, which will be
effected New Years night. or what
ever night they adjourn to.
The new board as II stands on the
face OF the returns shows a Demo
cratic majority OF two. but two mem
bers-elect absolutely refuse to serve
and third. II is claimed. is disquali-
fed. because he works for a railroad
corporation. under ban of the charter.
This would give the Republicans a
majority OF one among the nine men,

new deal all around, the Democrats

men 10 qualify long enough to organ

TO meet a political exigency.
This situation Is evolved from the
statements Of George Moore, trustee
elect from the Fourth ward, and Dow
n. Watson. trustee-elect from the
Sixth ward. that they will not serve.
More than that. they say they do not
intend TO qualify and participate in
the organization. Mr. Watson says
his rheumatism bids him stay home
at night and Mr.. Moore says he told
the committee plainly when he was
nominated that he would not accept.
and he took no part In the campaign.
On the other hand. ]. II. Maxwell,
trustee-elect from the First ward. Is
an employe OF the Illinois Central
railroad. and the charter dlsqualities
him.
Tho new board is composed OF the
following Democrats elected this fall:
J. H. Maxwell, J. Ashley Robertson,

cans: w. NJ. Karnes, b. T. Davis. DR..

The question that confronts us to

roads?" but what is the best way to

that an initiative step is to give up
everywhere the time-worn and per
nicious system of working out a road
tax. In many communities direct
road tax has been substituted, the
proceeds of which are expended on the
highways under the supervision of ex.
perts. The subject of state and ma,

there is still a mooted point as to

in the world, only as 1 made it by
the sweat of my brow. 1 owned three
milk cows, and / bought be q very
poor farm on credit for $500; a pair
of horses. wagon, spring wagon; and
seven more cows. Then / managed to
get money enough to buy a barrel
churn holding Is gallons, milk cans,
a brick butter mold, $50 sheets butter
paper. and so gallon jars, and started
up what they call in these parts a

Do you think cotton-seed meal inju
rious to cows fed in large quantities?

grow it, but have no help. My fam.
lily consists of wife and two small
boys. Can't get any hired help.
Cordova, Ala. L. A. P.
Comment by the Editor:
1. We would advise you to keep
Jerseys. Buy you a fine, registered
Jersey male. and breed up your herd.
2. Yes; feed not more than four
pounds per day to each COW. 1t is
fine given in this quantity, with plenty
of hulls or hay.
8. Thirty pounds of hulls, 10 pounds
of bran, four pound of cottonseed
meal per day.
A. 1t is difficult thing to cure. A
veterinarian might cure her. The best
thing to do is to fatten such a COW
and kill her for beef. If she has too
great pain at any time you can relieve
her by giving her two ounces of laud.
anum, and battle her loins with warm
water. A little turpentine given in
some sweet milk is also good rem,
edy.

TO SET STRAWBERRY PLANTS
October and November, or Late In
February or Early March.

Answering an inquiry from Missis-
sippi. Farm and Fireside says:
Probably the best time to set out
strawberry runners would be in Octo-
Der or November. or late in February
or early in March. When this work
is done it is most important to see
that only young plants are used. These
are easily distinguished from the old
ones by their white roots, the roots
of the old plants being quite black.
/ think it is good plan to burn
over strawberry beds Immediately
after they have stopped bearing. In
order to do this successfully the beds
should be moved close to the ground,
and when the material has dried 1t
should be burned. Then the soil be-
tween the rows should be worked up
until in a loose condition. The bed
should now be allowed to stand until
the plants start again, when the rows
should be weeded and thinned out.
This treatment is adapted only to
old beds that are In good condition |;
where the old beds are weak it will
be impossible to get good results from
this method of treatment.
While strawberry beds may be
burned over to advantage when the
material on them is perfectly dry
and the conditions are such that the
burning will be very quick and not
cause any excessive heat in any one
place, yet if the material Is somewhat
wet, or If it is in piles, the plants will
frequently be killed out II burned un-
der these conditions. In the case OF
long-continued very wet weather.
have sometimes had so many weeds
and so much mulch on the beds that
I have found It impossible to burn all
of it, and have carted of a portion
and burned the rest.

cantaIoupe Crop In the South.

The increased acreage in canta-
loupes and tomatoes in the south will
demand many cars. Lawrenceburg
and Decherd, Tenn, will nave mil
lions of cantaloupes this season.
These places have MT heretofore
grown these melons for market. The
railroads will be short of cars IL the
crop should be what it at present in
dicates. The acreage in Lawrence
county, Tenn. is estimated at 5000.
This Is an indication Of the progress
going on in the sunny south.
