Not as They Do In Egypt.

A Natchez, Miss, item says: Strin-
gent immigration laws prevent the i'm
migration Of desirable Egyptian or Ital-
ian farmers to this country, where
they are badly needed for the devel-
opment of agricultural lands. This fact
was made plain to a large committee of
the Natchez chamber of m by
A. H. Abaza Bey of Cairo, Egypt, Sec
rotary of agriculture in Egypt, and
who was a delegate from his country to
the worlds fair in St. Louis.
He came here to inspect the lands in
Adams county with a view to making a
purchase for himself and for the farm
ers from Egypt. He is organising .
company in New York, and though he
expects to return to his native country
in a few weeks, he expects to locate in
the United States. If he can buy 1000
acres Of land that will suit him, he viii
make the purchase and give his perso&
al attention to the management Of the
entire tract.
He knows soil like a book, and is
we'll versed on the subject of scientific
farming. He declared that he saw
some corn yesterday in Adams county
that was finer and better than he had
ever seen in Egypt or anywhere else.
Another thing he saw, and it shows
how observant he is, was a negro ia
king an afternoon nap. 1t was 8 o'clock
in the afternoon when he saw the negro
snoozing away.
"In my country" he said, 'if l saw
a farmer or field hand lying asleep at
8 o'clock in the afternoon, or during
the day, l would be justified in shoot
ing him. In my country the daylight
is for work and night for Sleep"
He said that Egypt is the most pro-
gressive country in the world, though
thirty years ago the population was 3d.
900, 900, and today it is only IL, 600. 900,
of which G, 500, 900 are males. 1t is still
the most progressive. and Belgium is
next. In his country there are two
people to every acre of arabic land.
: You must have population" he
urged. eff you want to progress and be
prosperous. You must work all the
time and not expect to plant seed and
wait for the time to pick cotton.
"Your farmers read and write, but
only a few of our farmers have these
accomplishments, hence we send lee
turers among them to give them in
structions.
"If l car buy the land l want. l can
plant cotton, but l must have intelli-
gent men to work the fields and pick
the cotton. Don't want men who will
sleep in the day."

UHEN WILL THE TICKS BE DE.AD?

We gladly welcomed the tick eradicators to Grenada county.
We thought their mission one necessary and essential to the farm
mers and the stock rasers of Grenada county. We are still of that
opinion, but those engaged in the work must be awfully poor tick
killers o the ticks must have as many lives a S a cat is sometimes
credited with having.
The monthly pay rol. for tick killing is a heavy drain upon the
county treasury and in the end will be embarrassing to many taxpay-
es. 1t occurs to US now that the watts are built, stock owners
have been shown how to compound the dipping fluid and all the
curves of just how to drive a COW into and how to let her come out
of a vat, that the pay roll might be very materially diminished.
Watch the proceedings of the board of supervisors and you will see
just what this business is costing. 1t seems that there is no coer-
cion or compulsion about requiring cattle to be dipped and that
there are a large number in the county who have never yet dipped
their cattle; if this be true, then the non-dipped cattle will continue
to perpetuate tick life and the matter of killing the ticks will 90 on
anAon.
1t is time to cut off the pay roll or compel everybody to dip
their cattle. The matter of dipping is a simple process. There is
no particular science about it, and we repeat that it seems that stock
owners should be able to use the watts already built and place their
cattle in the watts at proper intervals. Everybody who has given
proper thought to the question, wants the ticks eradcated, but in
Graduating the ticks they do not want to eradicate their pocket
books. When will the business end?

Dumping Ground for CuIIs.
(From Progressive Farmer.)

Because of our refusal to pay fair
prices for breeding stock. the South
has been a dumping ground for the culls
of the breeders. The result has been
that the pure-bred animals have not
had a fair trial. To compare inferior
pure-bred animals with the best grades
or native stock is not a fair test, and
it is no wonder that many people in the
South fail to appreciate the value of
pure-bred livestock. On the other hand,
many Southern breeders, beginners,
have paid good prices and obtained good
breeding stock, but through lack of
knowledge of how to feed and care for
them the results have not been salts
factory. 1t takes good care and feed,
as well as good breeding, to produce
profitable livestock. Neither by itself
is sufficient.

. MEDICINE AS GOOD
AS YOUR MONEY
Money Promptly Refunded if Dodson's
Liver-Tone Fails to Take Place
of Calomel.

Jno. P. Jones & Co, sell Dodson's
Liver-Tone as a perfect substitute for
calomel. If you try one bottle and find
that it is not just as sure in action as
calomel and at the same time gentler
and without the bad after-effectc of
calomel, please call and get your money
back. 1t will be given you promptly.
Dodson's Liver-Tone is a vegetable H.
quid with a pleasant taste, that livens
up the liver, mildly but surely, instead
of whipping it into action as the strong
chemical calomel does. 1t is used by
both children and grown-ups for con-
stipation and inactive liver.
That is why Jno. P. Jones' & Co. are
willing to guarantee it absolutely, not
with another bottle, but with your
money back. Isn't a medicine with q
guarantee like this worth a trial?

A reader says he has a COW that is

For all practical purposes. or for dairy

poses we would prefer an animal with
a ''longer pedigree" If a pure-bred
sire is used, such animal is obtained by

In Mississippi it will take a petition to the Election Commits
sloners in each county to get the names of the presidential electors
on the ticket. The law requires that electors be nominated by pri-
mary; otherwise they MUST get their names on the ballot by petition.
There will be three sets of electors on the ticket in this state and
probably four, viz: Democrat, republican. progressive or Roosevelt,
and perhaps socialist.

There are some anomalies in party tickets this year in the west.
Many Of the republican electors are Roosevelt men and openly an
