MoURNs HIS LEG.

Maj. Geo. Tate, retired, has made
his annual visit to Gettysburg to
stand by the grave of his left leg
which was shot off and buried there.
This is an experience which can
come to but few men and those to
whom it is denied can easily comfort
themselves for its Discrimination
Mercury.
That's all verv pathetic, in the
mind Of the man who wrote the above
item-but it is all rot, in fact. We
don't know WHO Major Tate IS, but
If his annual visit" is for the pur-
pose stated-simply to mourn at the
grave of CHS dear, departed" left
leg-he's an eighteen karat chump.
Why don't he dig up the scattered
fragments of his person and fetch
them home, and stow them in the
cellar, where he can pay homage
more Frequently and at much less ex-
pense for car fare? Why should a
man wall around where his leg is
buried any more than he should
erect a tombstone over the place
where he lays his shaved-off 'corns,
or howl around the barber shop
where he got the last haircut?
We are in favor of the motto:
Millions for a good, sound live leg,
but not a cent for a dead one."-

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
DR.. LentOn. And Prof. Short Speak To
Small Crowd Here Saturday.

mere ldSI SATURDAY uuuef ttle
auspices Of the Sharp County
Live Stock Association was a
disappointment in at least thai
the crowd in attendance was mol
as large as was anticipated by
those that had the meeting in
charge, but there was no other
disappointment. Those W h G
came and heard the addresses by
DR.. Lenton and Prof. Short felt
amply repaid for their time and
were profited by their attendance.
Prof. A. K. Short of the de-
partment Of animal husbandry
spoke ia the forenoon at the
court house on tho feeding and
breeding of live stock and on the
live stock question in general,
His address, coming from one
who understood his subject
thoroughly, was full Of good
points for the listeners and those
who heard him gained much in
formation that will prove valua-
BILE to them in future times. The
speaker made an especial plea
for better grade of live stock
| for this section of the country.
He declared that a good grade
Of live stock could be grown in
this country as cheaply and as
easily as the scrub stock and
that the difference in price Of the
two grades Of stock when ready
for market was great. He de-
clared that no country offered
better opportunities for stock
raising than did this and urged
the farmers to engage in this in
dustry more extensively.
In the afternoon DR.. w, Len.
ton of the Arkansas Experiment
Station at Fayetteville lectured
on veterinary science, paying
particular attention to the Texas
fever tick and means Of eradi-
eating this parasite. He gave a
history Of the fever tick and its
introduction into this country,
and by figures showed what this
pest is now annually costing the
farmers Of the country. He gave
a history Of the fight against the
tick in this state and showed the
beneficial results to stock grow
ers following the eradication Of
the fever tick. lie declared that
it is possible, if all the people
would cooperate with the gov
ernment authorities and care for
their stock strictly in accordance
with the suggestions Of these au-
thorities, TO rid the state Of Ar.
kansas Of the fever tick in the
short period Of twelve months,
But he said no such thing would
follow on account OF the slowness
OF numbers Of people to take hold
Of the movement. lie said with
the small government and state
appropriations it would require
years to do this work through
special authorities when the peo-
pie could do the same thing in
one year themselves if each citi-
zen would only look after his
own stock,
He said ii makes no difference
whether the theory that tho fe-
YER tick kills cattle il accepted or
not, the government requircs tho
eradication Of the ticks before n
eeelion of country il placed above
The quarantine line, consequent.
| ~ 1t Is to every mans interest to
fight the ticks in order TO get out
OF the quarantine and receive
good prices for cattle,
He urged the people to keep In
touch with the state experiment
station at Fayetteville by receiv L.
ing the bulletins isaued from this
station, which are free, All that
