A Wall FROM THE COUNTY JAIL

One morning just before daylight while the grand jury
Climax Jim had wrecked of shackles and
ohed cage Morg Merrill walked into the Jail and hear
limax quietly reciting the followingt
They tell of mesquites large and small,
Of things that bite and things that crawl,
Of poison lizards bugs and snakes,
But of these for Heavens sakes
Can be compared to the woefu tale
I'll tell of Graham county's Jail.
They brought us here against our wills,
From up the river, among the hills,
And locked behind strong steel door,
We're here for weary month or morei
Our nightly chums are rats and mice,
But nothing equals our chummy lice.
They scale checkered cells ard halls,
They're on the floor and on the walls
They're clothes and In the bed,
And my head,
They're the table, and in the tub,
Pvo found them In the grub,
From till eve, and all the night,
They skip and crawl, and bite and bite,
Pve tried all things that's known to men,
But nothing to worry them
They'd make elephant skin feel sore,
While they keep increasing evermore
A big fat resident day,
Up my made his way
He sang me his little song
OF how he had brought his spouse along
While she remarked with her winsome smile,
That they had come to stay awhile
sigh, and long for that happy day,
When from these pests I'll speed away,
And leave these prison walls behind,
With the rats and mice and lice combined,
For as Heaven Just, l tell you true,
Our dog gone aier is lousy too

Return TO BLEEDING.
Some Physicians Advocate Trying u In
Certain Cases.

Some Physicians Advocate Trying u In
Certain Cases.
Bleeding once the first as well as tho last
resort Of the doctors, seems to be coming
into more or less favor again.
The custom Of blood letting writes an
English physician in the Medical Brief, lis
passing into a stage Of rational and moder-
ate use. Venesection, properly employed,
is most valuable therapeutic agent
DR.. Perry, who contributes tho paper,
saws that he has tried bleeding most often
in cases Of acute pneumonia because he
looks upon II as disease in which life may
be saved and distress much relieved by a
timely blood letting. Acute pneumonia is
one of the few diseases in which veneeecton
may be used as a curative agent; that is
as an agent that may directly aid in the
restoration Of normal health TO patient
and not merely as palliative, as in chronic
cardiac disease.
when the cardiac muscle Is degenerated
or diseased" says DR.. Perry, -venesection
can only be of value as a temporary remedy.
The true value Of venesection is here absent
Irefer to the tiding ofan organically healthy
heart over an acute emergency, for in such
a case lies the real value OF blood letting.
I'VE have all seen a venesection save
life, for the time being. where a sudden
emergency, such as an unusual strain, has
caused failure Of degenerate heart>muscIe,
but this blood letting can do no permanent
good. II might. however, and often would
relieve US from the gravity Of sudden and
distressing death"
Other diseases in the treatment OF which
DR.. Perry has experimented with blood
letting are cerebral hemorrhage, heat
stroke and nephritis.

That evening Mr. Foulk received two
callers in his new rooms, the one, unaslxed;
the other by urgent invitation. Or. Prantz,

the doctor, with manner deferential and
a speech correct, though somewhat ntuffied,

the thick, irregular fringe OF his earth
brown murtache. Once or twice when he
opened wide his mouth, as if TO assist articu-
lation, Mr.. Foulke caught sight of his sharp,
pointed teeth, set like those OF a snarling
dog But Mr.. Foulk, Of course, did not
waste thought over this defect, for which
the chemist could be no more blamable
than he was for the blunt and knobby ha nds
he waved habitually.
TIE conversation turned, or perhaps was
diverted, to the mysterious explosion.
"You weren't called as an expert?" asked
Mr.. Foulk. "No? Well, / don't suppose
YOU could throw any light on the subject;
your line Is so limited; just mixing and
muIling over colors."
There was a tinge Of contempt in this
bluntness that touched the doctors pride.

There has been a gradual improve
ment since the beginning of the fruit
industry in the methods of handling
the crops. The early crude methods
of harvesting and packing are giving
way to better methods in the orchard
and In the packing houses. There
needs to be further Improvement along
these lines in every branch of the fruit
industry. In the apple industry, for
instance, when the fruit is handled
with more than average care, 10 per
cent of the fruit Is frequently made

piskina Of Alfalfa.

The disking of alfalfa is quite gener-
ally practiced wherever the crop is
grown in this country There are sew
eral good reasons for this procedure,
varying somewhat in the order of
their merit according to local condi-
tions.
In the first place, the sharp disks, set
at slight angle, split and spread the
crowns of many Of the plants, causing
them to stool and send up an increas-
ed nunlber of stems, Little or no dam
age results from the operation, which
should be carried on in winter OF after
a cutting, when the alfalfa is in stub
BILE
hi some localities also the resulting
mulch of loose earth is stated to con-
serve soil moisture at times when rain
fall is slight OF irrigating water scarce.
To this should be added the observa-
tion that dsking incorporates with the
surface soil much fertiii2lng material,
especially alfalfa leaves which are lost
during the operations of haying.-R. II.

season when all other flowers saye
the hot-house variety are afraid to
show un. They are the floral
pioneers IN the spring, giving us
their beautiful oolors right when
we can appreciate them most.
But the hollyhock--there's the
queen of 'em all. Such blaze of

hooks bordered each Of the paths
from the old fashioned style to the
wellworn slab of Missouri granite

woman walking down the path

off down the road to see if the
children were coming from school.
Every time stately stalk mods in
the breeze we can catch a glimpse
of the woods pasture where the

flash of color ia recall to the old,
old days, and the old, old ways.
o, no; the hollyhock isn't a
flower for "mY lady" to wear in
her hair or upon her corsage; it
isn't meant for swell social func-
tlons, and 1t isn't found among
the arlstocracy of flowers. But
just the same we'd give more to
see those two rows of hollyhocks
again than we would to see all the
flowers in Christendom banked up
in one spot. But the holly hooks
wouldn't be the same hollyhocks
unless that sweet faced little
woman, long since gone to her
earned rect, was walking between
them on her way to the style to
look off down the dusty country
road and to see if brothers and sis-
ters were coming home from school.

Birds Eat Scale Insects.

Few kinds OF insects are so lnimical
to the health and existence of fruit
trees and other crop plants as the
scales, and owing to their small size
and peculiar habits few are so diff
cult to cope with. 1t has been general
ly supposed that birds lend no assist
nnce in the destruction of scales. This
proves to be an error, for the biological
survey has already found that more
than fifty species of birds eat scale in
sects. Not only is this true, but in
ihe case of certain species, as the gros-
beaks, scales have been ascertained to
form large percentage of the food.
