Misnlaced Back Strap.


Some years ago | was invited to visit
one of our large plantations to see if l
could find out the cause of death of
number of the mules nine or ten. he-
ieve) from what appeared to he
paralysis of the back portion Of the
body and the hind eytremities. did
so and took up a position where could
get a good look at the teams rs they
came in in the evening from the field.
| was impressed with the fact that
every second or third team had their
back bands placed right back over the
loins. with the trace chains hooke;'
to them. In company with the manager
| rode out to the field the next morn
ing and saw the animals ut work in
four mule plows. 1t could then he dis
tiEctly seen that those which were
gaared up as described were laboring
under a tremendous weight over the
loins through pressure Of the back
bands and wore forced almost to the
ground while pulling. | then drew the
attention of the manager to the cOndi-
ticn of things and suggested that he
make it his personal business to- see
that the back bands and traces of
every mule on the place were so ad-
justed that no undue pressure would
be exerted over the loinS. In about
three months l received letter stating
that. in his opinion, the improperly ad
justed back bands were solely RESPONSE
BILE for the trouble and that he hadn't
had a similarly sick mule since the
change was instituted.
Some plow hands. who if not careful
ly watched, and to save themselves
the trouble of adjusting the mechan-
ism of the implement to the depth Of
blowing required, will place the back
bands over the loins, hook the traces
up to them and force the animals to
not only pull but lift the plow, causing
q tremendous weight to fall right on
this part of the back. which has no
support from the rigs and under which
are situated the large propelling mus
cleS of the hind limbs and the kidneys.

DISTRICT SIS NEW SCHOOL.
Building Opened Last Night with
Festivities Law Prohibits
Dance in SchoolhouSe.

The people of school district So
made merry last night at the formal
dedication of their new school build
ing which occupies a pleasing loca-
ton about midway between Moni-
tor and Beacon Hill. Nearly every
resident of the vicinity turned out.
1t had first been understood that the
festivities would include a dance,
but the discovery was made that the
state attorney general gave an opin-
ion some time ago prohibiting dane
ing in school houses. The program
was changed to music, speeches,
games and a basket supper, all Of
which were greatly enjoyed. The
new school house is fine building,
with accommodation, for 40 to so
pupils. George D. Perry, H. Hall
and W. Deitch are the directors.
Miss Aimee Mason will open school
on Monday.

The Republican Nominee.
William H. Taft as the representa-

Hughes, however, is a newer man

following, and it is not improbable
that his strength will increase The
main thing that will have a ten

will be of immense value.
LAS for more county inspection
deputies, we ask the county commits
sioners to furnish them. 1t is bet
ter to have a few capable men go
about In time to instruct fruit grow
ers who are new at the business,
like myself, to prevent pests than
it is to condemn and attempt to pre-
vent sale of carloads of fruit after
gathering and packing.
1--WE hope for unlimited assistance
in this matter
Said J. F. Littooy, former presi-
dent of the association:
I'm the matter of the education
of the fruit growers, so many of
whom are new beginners, up to
point where they shall be able to
derive larger profits from their or
chards than ever, it is essentially
question of the cooperation of the
growers among themselves as well
sioners of the county. The last con-
vention was a good starter. The
proposed special two days meeting
will be a further help. If all the
people will continue to manifest an
interest and if every section of the
county will see to having at least
some one person of their community
here, the work may be effectuallv
organized. If a number of persons
cannot come, let someone be sent.
We feel assured that the county
commissioners will then feel fully
justified in providing means to car
ry on the work as desired If the
outlying districts do not come to
the front in having representation,
the fruit growers of the vicinity of
the county seat will have to go
ahead for themselves, since the mat
ter at stake is of such vital conse-
quence.
''The object of the central organ
ization is to aid all sections of the
county if the people win but give
it a chance to aid them. This can
be feasibly accomplished by making
use of the Office of county fruit in
spector as a medium to aid each To-
cality to organize an auxiliary to the
county horticultural association.
The county defrays the expenses and
the tax is paid by each locality"
Mr.. S. w. Phillips favors the en-
ploying by the county of an anp'e
force of deputies. "One man cannot
do the work unassisted," he said.
To do it right, in order to instruct
and help everybody before tree pests
have a chance to spread, requires
several good men, quick to get
around and keep fruit growers, es-
pecially beginners, posted. Nobody
wants to let their crop go on TO ma
turity and then discover that it is
infected. The precaution must be
taken at the start. That is all i'm
portant."
A. ]. Linville, Charles Hardman
and others also spoke briefly, favor
ing the proposed deputies, if within
the power of the commissioners, and
of the Importance of the proposed
special institute meeting. 1t may
not be generally known that last
year samples of the different spray
ing compounds used by orchardists
in the county were sent to the state
chemist for analysis by Mr.. Littooy
and that rs per cent of the stuff that
was being used proved worthless,
showing the need Of competent men
to thoroughly instruct the people as
to mixing proper formulas.
