Creation of New County.

A special from Chester states that
a convention of the citizens who are
advocating the creation of a new
county In that portion of the state
was held and a resolution adopted
urging the members from Wilkinson
Amite and Franklin counties to sup
port the proposed measure.
The convention also outlined the
territory which it is declared to in
clude within the boundaries of the
new county, and map will be sent
to Jackson next week for the consid-
GRAFTON Of the legislature.
At least three new counties will be
proposed during the legislative ses-
sion, and the creation of several new
court divisions in other counties will
be asked. This means that the COM
mittess on local and private legisla-
ton in both bodies will have goodly
amount Of work and that large dele
cations for and against the proposed
measures will visit the capital to at
tend the eommittee sessions and pre-
sent their arguments. In addition
the committees will have the usual
large number of measures relating
to other local and private affairs.

Parcels Post.

The desire of the governments Of
France and the United States to con-
cluje parcels post convention, where
by parcels post may be sent through
the mails between the two countries,
was one of the matters considered at
cabinet session. Postmaster General
Meyers made the explanation that the
reply of France to the initial propos-
ition of the United States had been
received, and was referred to Secre-
tary Root, who will indicate to the
French ambassador wherein the sug-
gestions of his government will make
necessary a variation in the uniform
convention in force between the
United States and all other European
countries, except Italy. Gen. Meyer
would not go so far as to say that
suggestions <f France could now be
complied with, but indicated that he
believed it possible for a convincing
showing to be made as to the desir-
ability of adopting the uniform con-
yention.

Illegal Coal Land Entries.

At the last cabinet meeting of the
year 1907, the decision was reached
by the president and attorney gen.
eral Bonaparte that the government
will use every means in its power to
bring about in the higher courts dis
approval of the decision rendered in
Colorado by Judge Lewis that there
is no law against citizens agreeing
in advance to purchase coal or other
public lands that may be acquired
by others under what is known as
the dummy entry man" system. At
torney General Bonaparte said after
the cabinet meeting that it was for
tunate that congress last year passed
law giving the government the right
to appeal in criminal cases, as un-
doubtedly the government would ap-
peal to its fullest extent against a
decision quashing indictments against
men charged with illegally acquiring
coal lands.

Care for the Nest.

Do yon know that you can train
hen to be poor layer?
Do you know that she can and will
keep her eggs when ready to lay for
whole day?
If this condition is allowed to con-
tinue she may and probably will lay
fewer and fewer eggs, finally becoming
an Indifferent layer, hence the neces-
sity Of having plenty Of clean, comfort
able nests.
Did you ever notice how shyly the
young pullet will go about looking for
a secret place where she may stealthily
deposit her precious eggs?
How very particular she is about it!
II there is an insufficient number
of nests, or if they are unclean, or
too much exposed she is likely, after
some delay, to lay the egg on the floor
and among the other hens, which may
lead to egg eating.
Comfort is enc of the essentials Of
egg productions, and what is more
necessary than handy, clean and COM
Portable nests?

LONG Chicken Runs.

The following from the Farm Press
contains some very sound advice.
| never yet saw chicken yard too
long, but 1 have seen a great many
that were too small. l never knew
chickens to get sick and make trouble
when they had plenty of room and
plenty of green stuff. 1t costs some
thing to fence long run, but it pays.
A yard twenty feet wide and two
hundred yards long may be plowed and
cultivated with horses. If a succession
of green stuff is grown, starting in the
spring and reseeding at different times
during the summer, a yard like this
will grow enough to almost feed thir-
ty or forty laying hens Such things
as peas and oats may be planted very
early in the spring and by having runs
may be closed and different grains and
vegetables may be planted in season.
A great deal of picking may be had
from corn. They may eat off the
young stalks and they may let some Of
them grow UP, but in any case the
chickens get the benefit. Rape is an
other good crop to grow. 1t may be
planted almost any time between
spring and early fall Radishes, beets,
buckwheat, in fact, almost anything
that grows on the farm, will come in
all right in the chicken yard.
You may plant in rows and culti-
vate occasionally, you may sow broad
cast. You may leave the chickens in
the yard or turn them out until the
stuff gets fairly started, according to
circumstances. 1t makes but little diff
ference how you manage, so long as
you fit enough ground and plant
enough to keep the poultry busy.
L prefer a poultry yard in an or
chard, preferably of small fruit trees
such as plums, cherries, apricots, prunes
and pears. The partial shade from the
trees is beneficial to poultry. In this
way you don't feel the expense of CIV
ing a whole lot of ground to a poul-
try yard. You can just run wire aous-
try netting down the rows between
the trees and partition of a yard as
wide or as narrow as you want 1t. The
width makes but little differences;
length is what you want so you can
get the horses in to do the work.
have seen little yards that were
supposed to be dug over frequently.
The digging gets done about once; no.
body has time after that for any such
backaching job. The only way to have
chicken yard cultivated is to do it
by horsepower. You can't work cross
ways in narrow lot; you can't have
chicken yard very wide but you can
have it the whole length of the or
chard and it will pay to do it.

Nav Change Food Labels.

The Board of Food and Drug In
speation has sent an important let
ter to each of the principal trade or
CARNATIONS interested in the admin
istration of the food and drugs act.
This relates to a change which is
proposed by the board. 1t has been
found that the public is inclined to
misinterpret the words guaranteed
under the food and drugs act" which
are now carried on the labels used by
all firms which have a registered num-
Der under the act. There is no COM
plant of the action of the trade in
using these words, they having been
adopted from the regulations of the
board itself but experience has shown
that they are likely to be misleading
to consumers who are not well in
formed as to the Specification of the
impression. Most persons, it is be-
lleved, understand the words to mean
that the article on which they APP
pear rs guaranteed by the United
States government, to be good or pure
or made as represented, when VIVA.
is meant is merely that the original
manufacturer warrants the retailer
that he will assume all liability for
prosecution that may be based upon
alleged nonconformity with the pro-
visions of the food and drugs act.
1t is desired by the board to omit
from the labels the words "guac-
anteed under the food and drugs
act" leaving merely the words "ser-
ial No =" The board, however,
is not inclined to take this step un-
til it has been ascertained what would
be the effect upon the trade and how
much loss of labels, etc., would re-
suit therefrom.

City Has Troubles.

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams,
through his attorneys, has taken le-
gal steps to prevent the apportion-
ment of the purchase price of the wa
terworks plant among the stockhold-
ers of the Light, Heat and Water
Company Of Jackson, pending adjudi-
cation Of the back tax claim filed
against that corporation few days
since, amounting to about $4,000.
Mayor Wharton received tele-
gram last week from Rollins and Co.,
announcing the draft sent with the
bonds had been honored, and the
money is due to arrive in Jackson
this week.
The legal proceeding against the
water company promises some inter-
esting developments and Mayor Whar
ton is now in the midst of some very
busy negotiations to settle the final
details satisfactory to all concerned.
The mayor wants the plant turned
over to the city free of all incum-
brance, and the case just brought up
by the revenue agent is now appar-
emily a troublesome factor in the pro-
ceedings. Naturally, the city docs
not want to take any chances on hav-
ing its property incumbered by big
back tax lien.

Petroleum az FueJ

Possibly the fact that California
produces great quantities Of petro-
leum inclines Secretary Metcalf TO
favor the use of that fuel in the navy
where it can be done benefcially.
Therefore, plans for the new torpedo
boat destroyers, about to be prepar-
ed, will probably include a require
ment that they be designed for the
burning of oil. The fact that the
newest British boats of this class,
which have attained the extraor1in-
airy speed of forty miles an hour, are
oil-burners has influenced our navy
department in favor of the adoption
of liquid fuel.

The Care of ColIies.

Here are a few words on the gen.
eral care of collie dog given by
writer in Recreation:
In all favorable weather wash the
dog once month and in summer once
each week. Feed him twice daily of
cooked food. Do not keep him too fat.
Good muscular condition and a smart,
alert collie are not the result of too
much feed Once week give him
teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in
pan with some milk. 1t keeps his
blood In fine condition. Use medi-
Gated animal soap when washing him.
DisiHfect the kennel with crude car
winter, when washing is out of the
question, owing to the unfavorable
weather, dust him through all his
dense coat with tobacco dust powder
1t is a fine method of keeping his
skin clean and insects off after contact
with other dogs. Have him clipped in
summer, if convenient, and let him go
on the vacation with you. He will
love the water, and it will be a sin to
leave him home
"Once owner Of collie, always an
owner" is an old but true saying. No
circumstances will prevent the keep
ing of collie after they have once
won you We know the truth Of this
in a dozen instances. They are the
pride of every one who possesses them,
and will always be first in the heart
Of q strong man or woman who is fond
of the dumb but true.

Birds That Eat Scale Insects.

All told, 81 species of birds have
been found to eat scale insects. 1t is
interesting to note that this number
comprises representatives. of IL fami-
lies, differing widely not only in struc-
ture but in habits. They we're dis
tributed as follows: Nine woodpeck-
ers, two jays, three orioles, eight spar
rows, one waxwing, six viroes, II war
blers, two wrens, one tree creeper, two
nuthatches and eight tits of the tit
house family, one kinglet and one
gnatcatcher Of the Old World war
bier family, and the varied thrush and
the bluebird.
At first thought it seems strange
that the large birds should take the
trouble to pick up such small insects as
scales Yet the numerous representa-
ton of woodpeckers on the list and
the fact that the grOsbeaks among the
bulkier species are most conspicuous
scale destroyers prove it unsafe to as
sumo that direct relation exists be-
tween the size of bird and it's insect
food. At the other extreme of size
among scale eaters are some veritable
feathered midgets, as, for example, the
ruby-crowned kinglet, the black-tailed
gnatcatcher, and the bush-tit, the last
of which makes more than one-fifth
of it's food of scales.
Among the majority of these birds,
both great and small. there is notice
able one similarity Of habit. They are
tree frequenters. On their arboreal ex-
cursions they must constantly come
across scale insects. and as the latter
are no doubt nutritious and are tooth
some to the avian taste, it is only ma
tural that birds should feed upon them.
A few species which do not often
visit trees, but which are included
among the birds known to eat scales,
probably secure them very rarely. In
