TO APPLY lick EMULSION.

DR.. H. N. Gilfoyle, in charge Of the
tick eradication work in the district
composed Of York, Chester, Cherokee
and Lancaster counties, desires those
interested to have this information
about how to disinfect cattle:
Several methods Of eradicating ticks
are sanctioned by the department of
agriculture and one or the other of
these are recommended in the various
infested areas according to the local
conditions obtaining therein. In York
county and vicinity the disinfection of
cattle by the application Of an oil emul-
sion Is recommended. The emulsion
used is one prepared especially for this
purpose under a formula being fur
nished by the government. This for
mula has been adopted after extensive
research and careful testing by veter-
inarians. To each gallon Of this 5000
emulsion there should be added gal
Ions of water and thoroughly mixed so
as to get a perfectly uniform emulsion.
In this section where most Of the wa
ter is hard 1t is usually necessary to
add little washing powder or lye soap
to soften the water. Care should be
taken to apply plenty of the emulsion
to the legs, behind the elbows, the bel
ly, neck, brisket, pole, around the ears,
face, well up between the thighs, on
the udder, the tail and around the base
of the tail. Large ticks should be pick
ed off by hand and destroyed before
applying the emulsion. The disinfec-
tion should be repeated in IS days"

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following are the developments in
the speculative market yesterday as
reviewed in an Associated Press dis
patch Of last night from New York:
A steady early session in the cotton
market was followed by sharp break
during the middle Of the day when
there was sensationally heavy liquida-
ton by western interests, and while
part of the loss was covered with the
market closing steady, last prices were
to 8 points lower.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 2 points to a decline of 2
points, near months being relatively
steady in response to better cables
than expected, while late positions re-
fiected favorable weather and scatter
ing liquidation. There was good buy
ing at the start and during the early
session prices sold about to points
net higher with near months leading
the advance on bullish spot advices and
covering, but just before midday houses
with Chicago connections became very
heavy sellers. 1t was estimated that
these interests sold fully $4,000 bales
in the course of an hours trading, and
prices broke very sharply in conse-
quence with the new crop months SELL
ing Is to IS points below the best level
of the morning and at a loss Of about
IL to II points. July eased off to a net
decline of Z points, but ruled relatively
steady and led a moderate recovery
which occurred as q result Of covering
and support from some OF the spot in
terests during the late trading.
There seemed to be nothing fresh in
the news to account for the violent
fluctuations during the middle of the
day. and 1t was supposed that western
longs were liquidating on the reports
of better weather and improving crop
conditions. Leading trade interests
were buyers on the break. Southern

ed persuasion, and who has quite a
reputation as an accurate prognostica-
tor, is reported as having said several
days ago, that after the rain which fell
yesterday afternoon, there would be
dry spell that would last so long that
rain would be badly wanted before an
other came.
There are still several large lots of
cotton In the hands of farmers In this
section, possibly $50 to 400 bales. ~
While there is not near the attention
paid in this section to stock raising
that should be, still the interest, espe-
cialy with reference to mules is on the
increase. There are number of
healthy and handsome colts in and
around Sharon, and 1t Is to be hoped
that the farmers will make up their
minds to cut out one Of the greatest
drains on this section by raising their
mules instead Of buying them. Those
who have had experience insist that by
providing pasturage and other neces-
saries as do the western stock raisers,
colt can be raised to the age when 1t
can be put in service at less than half
the cost Of a western mule. Mr.. Hosea
Norman Is the owner of two as fine
specimens as one could wish to see.
One Is over q year old and the other

and as Lanahan has been proved TO
have paid graft to Alabama dispensa-

the commission Is really anxious to
know what kind Of scheme he had
for the South Carolina trade. An or
der was passed that this book must
be placed in evidence or steps would
be taken to have Lanahan extradited
and compelled to tell something about
this. When here he promised to send
down a man called Cullins. who had

If a man were in prison to serve
sentence Of ten years and knew at the
outset that by constant persistent
rubbing on the bars of his prison cell
he could get free in five years, he would
begin to rub from the first day. There
is no doubt of the fact that most OF
the farm soils of this county are de-
void Of both nitrogen and humus. That
these elements may be supplied from
year to year in a commercial way at
heavy outlay, everybody knows,
Everybody knows also that to all in
tents and purposes each years outlay
is good only for that year. x has been
established that by sowing nitrogen
and humus producing crops, the soil
is each year permanently improved,
and that five years judicious practice
Of this rule will bring about conditions
that cannot possibly be equaled by the
use Of commercial fertilizers on starv-
ed lands. 1t is not strange than, the
farmers fail to put forth every effort
to escape the burdens that are involv-
ed in the continuous purchase of COM
mercial fertilizers?

The state board Of equalization met
in Columbia on Tuesday, Mr.. Thos. L.
Johnston Of Rock Hill, representing
York county.
Tho continuous rains are having q
damaging effect on wheat and oats, es-
pecially where shocking has not been
done with proper care.
The old stage line from Washing
ton, d. c., to Washington, Ga, discon-
tinued after the completion Of the rail-
road between Charlotte and Columbia
and Chester and Yorkville, used to pass
through Yorkville. For most Of the
distance the route is about as good and
direct, as between Washington and
Atlanta, as Is to be found today
We note a statement that there are
more than 500 people employed at the
Ninety Nine Islands development, and
with the help Of the splendid machin-
cry and appliance equipment connect
ed with the plant Of the contracting
company that is prosecuting the work
these 500 men are daily doing the work
of not less than 1000 laborers.
But, notwithstanding the fact that
there Is lots of grass, there are farm
ers who have been able to keep their
crops reasonably clean. One farmer, OF
the Filbert neighborhood, a few days
ago told the reporter that there was
not grass enough in his cotton to make
a hen nest He was exagserating a
little, Of course; but the character OF
the man Is satisfactory evidence Of the
practical correctness of the statement
So far as we are aware, no efforts
are being made to secure the location
of the proposed automobile route from
Washington to Atlanta through York
county; but casual glance at the
map, as well as close study OF 1t,
shows that the shortest route between
Charlotte and Spartanburg is through
Yorkville. Here, however, as else
where, the principal consideration Is
matter of roads, and the same amount
of brains, labor and money applied to
our roads will make them as good as
any other roads along the route indi-
Gated. There are no very great COM
mercial advantages to be derived from
being on a popular automobile route,
probably-not from automobile traffic
anyway; but roads that are good
enough to attract automobiles will be
great for general traffic.
