WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter

On one of the large estates in Hing
ham. few weeks ago, fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time of
the raids, and their holiness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one of
the workmen OF the estate came upon
the den of a fox. at the mouth of
which lay dead whole litter Of young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself. but had carried 1t home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out, into the fresh air, to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per-
plexity she had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat. Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,

Barn and Brick so of West Virginia Expermen. Station

I close to the brick wall. Only fencing
with straight horizontal wires should
be used for this purpose, for II 1t Is
not drawn close to the wall In all
places an unnecessary amount OF &C.
ment is required for the plastering.
Two thicknesses Of wire fencing
were put on for one-half the depth
Of the silo and only one thickness on
the remainder. Each strip was Tapped
about two inches over the lower one.
The top course projected four inches
above the top of the wall, and thus
was stapled to the plate. fastening the
roof securely to the structure.
After the wire was in place the In
side of the silo was plastered with &c.
ment mortar, thus covering the wire.
The mortar consisted of one part
cement and three parts sand. -Four
openings we're provided for removing
the silage The door frames are OF
cast iron, one inch in thickness with
a projection which laps couple OF
inches over he brick work on the IN
side of tro sllo The doors are made or
two thi ..lesses Of seven-inch flooring
with .ofng paper between, and they
are held in place by being bolted to
four by four inch pieces of timber
which extend across the door frames
! on the outside.
It is believed that this method OF
construction possesses many advant-
/ oooa nthara q parm anant structure t9
desired The wire fencing. being
protected by the coating Of cement,
has no tendency to rust, and the life
of the silo should be almost indefinite.
In every agricultural community the
services of a brick-mason can be Sc
cured easily, the job Of laying up the
four-inch wall Is short one, and the
farmer himself can put on the wire
and do the plastering.

Dairy for College.

Clinton.-The board of trustees of
Mississippi College, at their last meeting,
realized the great demand the industrial
interest of the state is making ON the
educational interest, and realizing that
greatest blessings come through the log
ical relation of the two, passed resolu-
lions in which DIR. j. w. Provine, presi-
dent of the college, was ordered to in
augurate such measures as he deemed
necessary to carry out this high purpose.
Accordingly, DR.. Provine purchased a
farm which he has stocked with thor
oughbreds bought in East Tennessee, the
purpose being to establish dairy in
connection with the college to be oper=
ated with labor furnished by such stu
dents as desire to work as much each
month as three days. The students thus
engaging in work will be credited on
their expense account.

BREWER WENT BEFORE
THE PEABODY BOARD
ONE REASON FOR HIS RECENT TRIP
TO NEW YORK.
Governor Merely Smiled When Asked
Opinion of Legislative Committees
Right to Extend Investigation
to States Judiciary.

misunderstanding to statement of
Gov. Brewer, one of his reasons for a
flying visit to New York was to meet
there Chancellor A. A. Kincannon of the
University of Mississippi, and to go with
him before the executive officers Of the
Peabody educational board, in the inter
est of the university. While the governor
did not discuss directly the nature of
this business, it is sufficient to say that
1t was of sufficient Importance for him
to make that trip to Manhattan, at the
hottest and most uncomfortable period
of the year for travelling. With Chan
cellor Kincannon he met DIR. Wickliffe
Rose and others at Peabody headquar-
ters, and has hopes that the hearing they
were accorded will bear practical fruit.
Gov. Brewer when asked his opinion
as to the proposition Of the legislative
committee on probing, that they might
find it necessary or expedient to extend
their investigation to the Judiciary, mere
ly smiled, remarking that somewhere in
the constitution, as he believed, is a
declaration that there are three branches
of the government, executive, legislative
and judicial, each of which is separate
and distinct in its operation and author
ity. Just where the legislative commit
tee will find constitutional warrant to
sustain their construction of the author.
ity they profess to find in their resolu-
ton, he was at loss to say. However,
he is only locker on, discharging the
functions of his own branch of the gov
eminent, recognizing the right of the
other branches to do the same, as long
as they track the law.

PREPARING SOIL FOR oKRA
For Commercial Purposes II Is Usual
ly Grown on Warm, Sandy Loans
Deep Rooted Plant.

Okra will do we'll on any soil on
which cotton gives good results. Like
cotton, it Is partial to warm, rich
loans. For commercial purposes. says
a southern exchange, 1t il usually
grown on warm, sandy loans, though
good okra can be grown on any we'll
prepared soil. 1t should not be plant
ed, however, on poor land, as the pods
are likely to be small and stringy.
AS this is a deep-rooted plant, the
preparation should be deep and thor
ough. A good preparation for cotton
will be found suitable for okra. The
rows may be laid off three and one
half to four and one-half feet apart,
depending on the variety, and the
seed planted rather thickly in The
drill. When the plants are four or
five inches high they are usually
thinned to one or two feet apart. II Is
advisable to keep the soil well stirred,
particularly when the plants are
small, as rapid and continuous
growth should be secured for plants
stunted by weeds or lack of moisture
will produce pods of inferior size aud
quality. II no seeds are permitted to
ripen on the stalks, they will continue
to produce pods for long period of
time.
The crop draws rather heavily upon
the heterogeneous matter In the soil;
hence stable manure and leguminous
crops should be brought into use. II
urd be advantageous to use quick
acting commercial fertilizers, 1000 t.
1000 pounds of one Analysing about
eight per cent. phosphoric acid. foW
per cent. nitrogen and four per cent.
potash, depending upon the condition
and previous treatment of the soil. All
fertilizers should be incorporated witt
the soil.
The pods are gathered while they
are etill soft, and before the seeds are
half grown. If they are all taken OF,
at the right stage Of maturity, anS
none allowed to ripen in the stalkA
not even culls, the plants will bear :oI
a long period of time.

Open Cotton Bolls Reported.

Jackson.-Open cotton bolls have been
reported from q number of counties in
the state. The past week was by no
means favorable to the crop, especially
in the central section. Frequent show
ers and cool nights have injured the
staple, and caused rapid breeding of boil
weevils. While showers have been co.
pious over the central and southern por-
tions of the state, some counties in the
delta report that they have no rain,
and conditions closely border on a
drouth. The few open bolls reported do
not mean that the period of maturity is
at hand. 1t will be at least three weeks
before picking is commenced in any
part of the state, and it will not be
come general until about the first week
in September. The rains have been
nlghly beneficial to the corn crop, and
a record-breaking yield is promised.
Crop experts declare that Mssissippi's
corn yield will exceed that of last year
by at least 100000 bushels.

GOOD WORK DONE BY
STATE HEALTH BOARD
DIR. LEATHERs COMPLETES HIS 81
ENNIAL REPORT.
Shows More Than 100000 Persons Ex
amined Microscopically In Two
Years and 10000 Treat
ed Free Of Cost.

Jackson.-Dr. w. S. Leathers, state
health officer, has just completed his
biennial report of the state board OF
health, covering work of the organize
ton from June 80, 1911, to June 80,
1913, and it will at once be turned over
to Secretary Z. H. Galloway of the
board for transmission to Gov Brewer
and the legislature. The report is a
voluminous one, and will be printed in
book form for distribution.
The report is complete review OF
work accomplished, campaigns and Ell
forts to minimize as far as possible this
spreading OF disease, and the education
of the people on health and sanitary
matters. The report will be well illus
trated and printed in large type so that
its perusal and study will not be diff
Guilty.
The biennial report of DR.. feathers
is by far the best and most complete
ever prepared in Mississippi on the sub
jects in question. 1t goes into minute
detail concerning the hook worm cam
-paign so earnestly waged by health al
authorities in this state, and which has
resulted in placing Mississippi in the
front rank of states in this warfare
against a disease that has claimed SO
many victims. The report shows that
more than 100000 people in Mississippi
have been examined microscopically in
two years, and more than 10000 have
been treated free of all cost. During
the biennial period more than $4,000
children were examined for hookworm
and of that number 60 per cent were
found to be infected and were cured
Untold good has been accomplished in
this phase of health work in MISSISSIPPI
pi, and thousands OF people are ready
to testify regarding the benefits of the
treatments given.
The report further demonstrates that
the scope and usefulness of the state
board of health laboratory has been inn
menseley increased. During 1911 5,491
and in the six months of this year g.,
379, total of 1893 examinations in
two years.

inquiry into this much-discussed insti-
tuition will go, or how much longer it

than was thought it would occupy at
the outset, and has also cost more
money, as understood. In fact, it is
understood that the inquiry into the in

of the committee, the amount author
lied being $4,000, which the committee
borrowed on its own responsibility, by
authority of the resolution under which
they are acting.

On dairy farm a silo is almost a
prime necessity. Silage Is succulent.
adds variety to the ration, is relished
by the animals and promotes more
healthful condition of the digestive
system than when dry feed only is
supplied. For silo to be satisfactory
the walls must be air tight and suf1-
ciently rigid to withstand the pressure
to which they are subjected when the
silo is filled with heavy green material.
For ordinary silos filled with corn
silage this pressure increases eleven
pounds per square foot for each foot
in depth of the silo.
Corn for the sllo should be cut
Just before 1t becomes fully mature.
At that time there is still enough Juice
In the stalks SO that the cut or
shredded material packs in the silo
firmly and yet there Is not that earlier
superabundance of Juice whose pres
ence tends to produce very sour or
acid silage.
In building reinforced brick silo at
the experimental station of West Vir-
.ginia, an excavation was made about
four feet deep to the underlying rock
in order to secure solid foundation.
Then cylindrical brick wall was laid
up four inches thick. cement mortar
being used. AS the wall was laid god
wire nails, which previously had been
annealed by heating them, were i'm.
bedded in the mortar with the ends
projecting from the wall about two
inches into the silo. Two nails were
used for each square foot Of surface.
After the wall had stood few days,
woven wire fencing was cut into
pieces Of the proper length to go
around the silo, and the projecting
ends Of the nails were clinched over
the wires 30 as to hold the fencing

Will Try to Abolish Fee System.

Jackson.-An effort will be made at
the next legislative session to abolish
the fee system in the offices of chan
Gerry clerks, sheriffs and tax collectors

character has been presented at each BIZ
ennial session for several years, but re-
ceived very little serious consideration.
The present movement, however, is I'M
derstood to have strong backing, and
a bill is being framed providing for a
graduated scale of salaries for these Of
fices, based on population and present
fees collected, that will give fair COM
pensation to sheriffs, chancery clerks
