EXPERIMENTING TICKS
By Vacatlng Pastures and Keeping all Stock
off Of Them From Sept. I TO July |.

OF OF mem from sept. | 10 July !.
TLs month of August lends It.
self we'll to the eradication Of cat
tie fever ticks where a pasture
rotation plan is used. By vacat-
ing a pasture during this month
and keeping it vacant until July l
of next year it may be freed of
ticks, and if no tick-infested ami
mails are allowed to enter after
July l the pasture will remain
free. The United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture advises farm.
ers in the tick region to take ad-
vantage of this favorable time so
far as practicable.
Pastures from which live stock
is removed for a sufficient time
become free of ticks by a process
of starvation, as the ticks can not
live to maturity if they are unable
to get upon ANIMALS. The time
required for all ticks to die after
the stock has been removed from
infested fields and pastures varies
considerably, depending on eli.
mate, season, and weather condi-
tions. Experience has shown,
however, that the period from Sep
TENDER 1 to July l is sufficient,
and this appears to be the most
convenient time.
The advantage Of vacating a
pasture for the period named is
twofold, Not only is the pasture
freed from ticks, but its disuse
during that time will probably
cause less Inconvenience and ex-
pense than at any other season,
and it will be benefited by the
rest and will have d better growth
CT grass the following summer.
In some sections where pastures
are utilized throughout the win.
ter, to vaoate would probably
necessitate feeding the stock, I'M
less the farmer ls situated SO that
he can keep his stock on one pas
ture while another is kept vacant.
But it is also true that beginning
with September there will be a
more abundant supply of rough
feed about a farm which can be
utilized. August is a most favor
able month for making a start to.
warding freeing premises of ticks
by the method suggested.
The animals should of course
be free of ticks when they are
again turned on the pasture in
July. Where the owner has a
small number of cattle, greasing
or spraying them with Beaumont
crude petroleum IS a good way to
rid them of ticks. When che num-
Of cattle is large or when a dip
ping vat is convenient it may be
more practicable to dip them.

get rid of the ticks. including di.
rections for the preparation of
dips and sprays, may be obtained

SDnE LIQUOR STATISTICS.
Al English Method for Saving Bank Ac-
counts. Buying Money Orders.

Washington August 15.-The
tidy sum of$1, 2S8 .635, 496 vas co.
lected IN 1908 by 1853 cities IN the
United States. according to a CEN
sus bulletin just issued, which is
devoted to municipal financial
statiscs. Twenty-four Of the 1853
cities were prohibition places, an
advance of ten prohibition cities
in one year. Yet Notwithstanding
the decrease in the number of Ii
censed saloons, there has been an
increase in the receipts from liquor
license, due to al increase in the
cost Of licenses among the cities
still allowing the existenoe of sa-
looms. New York and Chicago
from this source alone receive each
more than $1,000, 600 In 1908.
The number of licenses for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors by the
drink IL 1905 was 1896, in 1907
they we're 1854. This decrease
was not confined to any part of
the county, but is apparently in
every group of states. except in
certain of the Rocky Mountain
states. The decrease has been
most marked in the South Allan
tic states. Chelsea and Pitching,
Mass, change from no license"
to license and caused an increase
of 100 per cent in 1908 in the
number of licensed places selling
liquor by the drink.
Despite the decrease in t h g
number of licensed places, the re-
ceipts from liquor license and tax
es by ISL cities increased from
$50, 1910, 1873 il 1905 to 500, 234, 225
in 1907 aud Jo$41, $50, 1873 in 1908.
This is explained in the general
raising of the cost of licenses.
The states having the largest
number OF places licensed to sell
liquor by the drink in proportion
to the population are shown to be
Texas, Wisconsin and New York.
Galveston, Texas, sold more liquor
to the population than any other
city, Milwaukee next.

gave him net return of S36 per acre,

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING.

While spring blowing may be pref
erable to fall plowing in some sections
where small grain follows a titled crop,
the benefits of fall plowing are such
that 1t should be followed in far larger
measure than at present. One of the
chief Of these is the disintegrating and
mellowing action Of the frost, rain and
snow during the winter months-a a
benefit. by the way, that is too often
overlooked. A second advantage Of
fall plowing not rightly valued by
those unacquainted with the habits Of
many insect pests is that during the
fall and winter months the worst foes
of the farm crops = the cutworms,
white grubs. wireworms, corn root
worms, corn ear worms and corn root
lice-are in the dormant or pupal
stage, and plowing the ground after
they are nicely housed against the cold
weather not only covers many of them
SO deep that they never come to light,
but exposes others so that they fall
victims to their bird enemies or die
from exposure to the cold. Moreover.
If the land Is fall plowed 1t is possible
to work 1t with the disk much earlier
the next spring. which will sprout and
kill myriads of weeds

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

Farm, Stock and Home makes a
suggestion in recent issue that has
much to commend it to taxpayers
The suggestion had in view taking
money received from the sale Of state
lands and reinvesting 1t in the devel-
oping Of these lands, particularly along
the line of clearing and making ready
for tillage certain portion Of every
tract sold and also the building Of
roads to lands opened up so as to
make them accessible to market and
in the end when the work was done
adding the cost of the improvements
to the value Of the land In distributed
payments and in the case Of the roads
bonding the township for period Of
years to meet the last of the improve
ments. 1t was pointed out that one of
the chief advantages in this plan would
be due to the fact that the real settler,
instead of having to borrow private
capital at or 10 per cent, could in the
manner outlined have the use of state
funds at not more than per cent,
while the fact that good share of the
tedious work Of grubbing the land
which would be done in advance would
tend to encourage settlement Cap
tious critics may say that such a plan
smacks of paternalism or possibly So
cialism, but it is sound and sensible

Double Murder In Barnyaru.f

The community about Rifles Cross.
ing, w. Va, is astounded over a MUIR
der surrounded by mystery.
The bodies of j. L. Nickel, aged
ffty-two years, a carpenter and con-
tractor, and his son-in-law, Stephen
Evans, aged twenty-six years, were
found, riddled with bullets, in the
barnyard of w. X Fades. The crime
was committed in broad daylight and
within a short distance of their own
home
Thirty-eight shot entered Evans
face and head. Both eyes were shot
out and four shot entered the brain.
Nickel was evidently running away
from his assailant. His body was found
about 200 yards from where he had
been shucking corn. He had fallen face
down, fourteen shot entering his back.
There were also eleven shot wounds
on his fingers and two on his elbow.
Two shot entered his neck. AS far as
known no one witnessed the crime,
but the shots were heard.
w. K. Fades is under arrest. The
evidence against him is circumstantial

where the shooting occurred and rent.

ago the house was burned down and
Nickel and his son-in-law moved away

A HELP IN THE HOUSE.

Many hardworking housewife
could ease her labors greatly, as well
as save the cost Of ice and the fuel
used in melting it, did she understand
q little more about the cleansing Of
hard water. 1t is true that the job can
be done after fashion with washing
powders, but much more satisfactory
results are had by using one of the
several brands of pure concentrated
lye. Well water varies in hardness
that is, in the amount of lime 1t con-
tains-from nearly soft to very hard,
and the only way to find out how hard
1t Is and how much lye will be re-
quired to cleanse or soften given
amount Of 1t is by doing little expert
menting. The way the water acts with
soap gives a good general idea. A level
spoonful of powdered lye dissolved in
n little warm water and stirred in will
cleanse six pals of quite hard water.
Should the water be softer half
level tablespoonful of lye may be tried
on the same amount of water. If after
the lime preciptate has thoroughly
settled an application Of soap to lit
tie of the cleansed water imparts a
milky color, this is evidence that not
quite enough lye has been added.
When the amount of lye required for
cleansing a given amount of water has
been determined, future testing of the
water will not be necessary, as the
water will usually continue quite uni
form in the amount of lime it contains.
The water will cleanse the more rap
idly If Ii is warmed slightly.

State Socialism.

State socialism, as the name fairly
implies, Is the theory that land and
capital should be taken possession Of
by the State: that all production
for distribution and all distribution
should draw from the State his COM
pensation, whatever 1t may be, for
services performed, and that money
and interest should cease to exist. So
cialists do not advocate violence or
any form Of force, the opinion Of many
to the contrary. Notwithstanding. They
believe, as a body, that the object
they are after is to be reached not by
force but by the ballot, as the peace
