The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1908-03-05

In this department last week there
was word of warning to the local
Unions with reference to the con-
tracts for fertilizer that it appears
just now to have geen founded upon
incorrect information. The notice
was given for the purpose of prevent
ing entangling alliances that would
mean trouble for the Union in the fu-
ture, as was stated in Tie article. If
this information was incorrect it il
but just and right that correction
should be made in fairness to the
concern furnishing the fertilizer as
well as those desiring to purchase it.
Bushes Agent w. w. Welch, states
that the notes made in this manner:
A joint note is made by four reliable
parties for the aggregate OF the whole
amount of fertilizer to be purchased.
Then the parties buying give to this
committee of four a note carrying a
mortgage on portion of the crop to
be raised to guarantee the payment
of their dues. While the note made
to company is negotiable 1T is under
stood that they are not to be discount
ed or allowed to fall into the hands
of third parties. This plan is undobt-
eddy all right and affords means for
the financially able members of the
Union to assist those less fortunate
without undue risk. Further inquiry
into the Jones county matter has been
made, and it is to be hoped that it
will prove an error, although the Bro
Their giving the information was I'M
doubtedly satisfied that he was cor
rect and was giving publicity to
matter that might cause trouble later
on. This is no time to make mistakes
or allow our people to be imposed
upon, and it is the duty of every 10y
al member of the Union to carefully
guard the interests of his brother az
he would his own. The writer as
sures all that his article of last week
was intended in that way, and if the
information was incorrect, advantage
is taken of the first opportunity to
correct the mistake. The plan as out
lined by the business agent is undoubt
edly all right and where it is car
ried out will not cause trouble but
on the other hand, will prove of great
benefit to the Union members la gen.
eral over the state.

L. E. Hall, of Hattiesburg, who

recently sold to P. NJ keller, of Jones

for planting in an orchard.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1908-03-05

President Kolb Of the Monroe coun-
ty Union comes out frankly in favor
of bond issue for the purpose of
building roads In that section. He
is very much in favor of building and
maintaining roads, although the cost
will be high. The only trouble with a
large bond issue is this; If it is at
tempted to use all at once for gen.
eral system of roads, it is likely that
considerable will be wasted In ex-
perimenting. What will build road
in one part of a county would fail in
another part. The writer has counsel
ed at all times to build only portion
each year and profit this year by the
experience of the past year. We must
have roads and the increased interest
shown assures them in the near fu-
ture.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1908-03-05

The Jew farmer said that when he
went to buy a horse he always stayed
on the safe side and bought mule.
No animal can take the place of the
mule in this country for heavy duty.
The only trouble with US is, Missis-
sippi raises by far too few mules.
Something like half a dozen counties
in the state raise more than is used
at home while the rest draw upon
these counties for few and upon
Missouri for the great majority Of
their animals. The Grenada Sentinel
recently contained short notice OF
farmer near that town that has sue
ceeded in raising all of the mules
he needed, and that at little added
expense over the annual run of farm
outlay. His mules are good ones, equal
to those brought In from other states
for general farm purposes, and do
not cost one-fourth Of the outlay nee
essary to secure an average Missouri
mule on the market. 1t is suggested
that more mules could be raised, at
least enough to supply the home mar
ket, and at little additional expense.
1t is well known fact, that the farm
er who raises his mules is generally
successful in making farming pay. He
does not stop at mules but he goes
further and produces other necessa-
ries that are too often bought by the
farmer. Mississippi should by all
means raise enough mules to supply
the home market and indications are,
that this will be done ere long.

IN THE SICK ROOM
POINTERS OF VALUE TO THE
HOME NURSE.
Precautions Necessary When Disin-
feotIng Room-Simple Method of
Breaking Cold Quickly
Easily Made Poultice.

In entering a room in which disin-
lectant has been burning for several
hours one should cover the mouth and
nose with a wet cloth to shut out the
fumes.
/ Care should be taken that the win
dows were not locked before the sui
phur is started, as otherwise they can
not be opened quickly and it is dan
gerous for a person to remain long
in the sitting atmosphere.
If the windows are on a porch or
roof they should be opened after disin-
fecting from the outside, thus avoid
ing all danger to the opener.
To Break a Cold Quickly.-In addi-
ton to the ordinary precautions to
break a cold, such as taking a few
grains of quinine when first felt, or
six or ten drops of camphOr on a
lump of sugar if the cold be in the
head, IL is we'll to live carefully till
the disease is conquered.
Drink plenty of water, eat sparingly
avoid coffee and other stimulants and
be careful not TO overfatigue your
self or expose yourself to draughts
This does not mean. however, living in
Theoretically sealed rooms. as colds
usually fee more quickly if one has
plenty of fresh air.
A Convenient Poultice.-When for
any reason. a poultice is necessary,
one made of potatoes is excellent, as
IL retains the heat so long; moreover,
Il is very simply made.
Make two square bags Of muslin Of
convenient size, according to the part
ah1iCted. Half fill these bags with po-
tatoSs that have been freshly peeled
and put them on to boil.
When tender mash the potatoes in
the bag and apply 1t to the patient,
using it as hot as it can be stood with
out blistering.
While the other is cooling crush the
potatoes in the second bag and have
IL ready to use when the first is taken
on. This should be returned to the
boiling water TO heat up again.

The Grand Duke-Bah! (Swears
softly on his way to the stables.)
But the princess had in her mind
plan which, had 1t gone through
safely, would have added many gray
hairs to the dukes scanty collection.
1t was a mighty ingenious plan, too,
for a woman to figure out.
In his attitude toward the girl the
duke stood alone. Behind his back his
ministers wore out their shoes in walt
ing on the caprices of the girl, while
the grand duchess. half-blind and half
deaf, openly worshiped her willful but
wholly adorable niece, and a5etted her
in all her escapades. So far as the
populace was concerned, she was the
daughter OF the favorite son, dead
these Is years, and that was enough
for them. Whatever she did was right
and proper. But the hard-headed duke
had the power to say what should be
what, and he willed 1t that the Prin-
cess Hildegarde should marry his old
comrade in arms, the Prince of Dop'
pelkinn.
