new building which Mr.. T. c. NC
Carthy has built this summer. Mr.
Kemming expects to get moved into

The August crop report of the
Department of Agriculture, given
out near the close of last week. in
dicates that the grain crops of the
present year, taken in the aggregate.
will probably outclass the yield of
the best previous year in the history
of the country. The corn crop
throughout the corn-growing belt is
now practically made. Rains have
been abundant in all the corn-growing
states, and the yield is expected to
be very close to the three billion
bushel mark. The spring wheat
crop has mostly been tnreshed. and
it is estimated that the yield will be
about 80, ono, 900 bushels larger than
that of last year. Both the oat and
the barley crops will be record
breakers. 1t is now believed that
the potato yield of the United States
for 1912 will be exceeded only by the
crop of 1909. Another bumper crop
this year is the hay crop, which, it
is estimated, will be %, 900, 900 tons
as compared with $1,000, 900 tons
last year. "All flesh is but grass. "
saith the Palmist and literally this
is true III respect to beef and NUT
ton. Pork also is a transmutation
of grass and grains. A bumper
corn crop and a bumper hay crop,
taken together, should mean marked
increase in cattle fattened for the
market, and certainly a great in
crease in the pork yield of the year.
The same weather conditions that
have made a large hay yield have
kept the grazing pastures green and
the field stock abundantly fed. In
addition to the grains and the gras-
ses the fruit yield this year is good
everywhere. 1t is a great crop
year. Upon the whole and includ-
ing all crops, there is reason to
believe that it is going to be the
greatest crop year in history.

The old adage that "large bodies
move slowly" is certainly true in
the case of the Smyrna Federal
Building. Citizens had hoped before
this to see something doing, but
everything is at a standstill in
Washington. Not even a word of
encouragement comes to Smyrna as
to when the architect will be ready
with his plans.

Saturday afternoon-nesrly four
months after the Titanic found a
watery grave-Congress needed the
lesson of that disaster and passed
two measures safeguarding life at
sea. One, the radio-communicatio
bill, passed both the House and
Senate; the other, the Alexander
life-boat measure, was adopted by
the House and will be promptly
enacted by the Senate. The wire
less bill licenses radiograph opera
tors, and prohibits the sending of in
terstate messages by others than
American citizens holding permits,
It places entire control of all wire
less in the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and insists that absolute
priority shalt be given by all ouer-
ators to signals of distress. The
Alexander bill covers all steamers
nav eating all oceans, lakes or
bays, and requires that they shall
carry "such life saving and fire
fighting devices as will best serve
the safety of all persons on board. "
Ocean going vessels must carry room
in lifeboats for all passengers and
crew. Moreover all liners must
carry sesrchlight. Penalties are
fixed in each case for violations OF
the law.

that a road and bridge to span the
gap between the beach and the

of $40, 900 and that in a little while

repair work could not have been
done years ago, as Woodland Beach
was to the section near it what

BY j. S. JEFFREY.

The emulsion is made as follows:
Cut up one pound Of soap and dissolve
it in hot water; while the water is hot,
stir in two gallons of kerosene and
continue stirring for fifteen to twenty
minutes. 1t is important to have the
kerosene, soap and water we'll mixed,
especially if it is not to be used at once.
To this mixture add seventeen gallons
of water. This makes a ten per cent
emulsion. Some recommend fifteen
per cent. but we have found ten per
cent efficient in killing the mites.
Kerosene used on the roots once
week in hot weather will help to keep
down both mites and lice. If put on
short time before the hens go to roost,
some of it will get on the feathers and
will kill and drive away lice. Care
must be taken not to get too much on
the fowls. or it will blister them and
this will stop the hens from laying just
as much as the lice will. Good, Wig

THE FRENCH WEED.

The presence of weeds on many farms
demands that more rigorous measures
be taken for their destruction 1t is
plain that so long as so few pastures,
meadows, and cultivated crops are
used in rotation with grain the farm
ers will find it very difficult to keep
the weeds in check.
Summer following may destroy
weeds, but it requires a great deal OF
labor during the entire season, when
no crop is obtained from it.
Mustard, wild oats. pigeon grass,
and French weed are among the worst
weeds with which farmers have to
contend.
1t is to be regretted that, so far as
the writer knows, no simple or prac-
teal method has been found that will
surely and completely eradicate
French weed. Some farmers have re-
ported methods that have proven sue
cessful with them, but other farmers
have tried the same methods and
failed.
Some few things have been learned

SUMMER CAFE or The P0UL TRY HOUSE

1t is quite possible to have the best
poultry kept in well-built houses. we'll
fed, and still not get any profit or
pleasure from them. In too many
cases where a good start has been
made the house is neglected and al
lowed to become filthy and infested
with mites. 1t may be said that filth
and mites generally go together, for
while house that is kept fairly clean
may be infested with mites, 1t is very
seldom that dirty house will be
found to be free from these pests.
Lice and mites cause more losses
among poultry than all other things
combined. This is especially true of
Southern poultry, as a hot climate is
especially favorable to the rapid in
crease of these parasites.
In the north the same trouble is
found in summer when the cleaning
of the poultry houses is apt to be neg
lected owing to the fact that many
people imagine that because the
houses are open and get much air and
sunlight. that they do not need to be
cleaned as often as in the winter.
Poultry houses should be so ar
ranged inside that the poultryman can
keep down the mites without an undue
expenditure of time and energy. Mites
live in the house and must be killed
there. busting the hens will never
get rid of them.
The best means of getting rid of
mites in the houses is to spray thor
oughly with kerosene emulsion. This
should be done twice with an interval
of from five to seven days between the
sprayings.

GIVE THE TURKEYS WIDE
RANGE.

1t is a mistake to confine turkeys in
small enclosures. BY nature they are
rowing birds and get their feed over a
wide range.
Turkeys should be raised with tur-
key hens because the young poults
with chicken mothers will not range
as widely as they should.
The young turkeys should be turned
out in the fields just as soon as the
dew is off the grass and should be
allowed to remain out until dark.
If they are driven into the poultry
house about dark and given a feed of
grain or dry corn meal, wet and
return of their own accord.
OF course they must b. brought In
every night because if they are al
house they are likely to be destroyed
by animals.
II the young turkeys can be induced
to roost in j large tree near the poul-
try house they will do very well there
because the tree is the natural roost-
ing place for turkeys. We know a wo-
man In Virginia who raised about 200
turkeys every year and they all roasted
In TWO large trees III the yaTQ at the
rear Of the house. An inclined board
Is placed against the tree SO that the
poults can get into it when they are
quite young. Many Of them continue
to walk up the plank to the first
branches even after they are fully
grown while the others use their wings
to reach the branches.
Young turkeys cannot thrive in

ventilated and placed where they will
get plenty of sunshine.
Young turkeys should never be hur-
ried or driven home or quickly forced
Into the poultry house. They are de-
iiberate in their movements and should
take half an hour or more to find their
roosting places and settle down for the
night.

ANIMAL HAPPINESS ON TIE
FARM.

The dairyman who Is looking for
results will not allow the dog or the
small boy to worry his cows He
knows that If he wants well filled
pail they must not be frightened but
kept quiet and content.
The grower Of beef cattle Is sure to
weed out the one that is continually
bawling, when it should be grazing.
for the simple reason that there is
more waste than gain Of adipose tissue
at such time. The stock content to
feed upon the good pasture at hand
rather than busy themselves trying to
break into forbidden fields, possibly
not nearly as good. are the ones that
make the most gain in weight.
The hen that is logged every time
she finds a nice soft place to scratch
is not the one that makes the best egg
record. She may be hard on the gar
den, but good fence would easily hx
that. Do not discourage her natural
efforts and then expect her to do her
best for you.
