1t is difficult for a kind-heaTted
man to understand how a farmer in
civilized country can sleep in COM
fort under extra blankets while his
farm stock is shivering in the cold
rains and winds of autumn, or trying
to keep warmth in their bodies by
hugging the lee side of a rail fence.
And yet more than half of the live
stock of the country are left in this
way to shift for themselves, and snow
covers everything before the stock
are taken to the barn. The flesh lost
under this miserable system is only
restored at a great cost; whereas, If
the stock had been fed little they
would not have been SO debilitated,
and the impoverished blood, making
them all the more susceptible to the
cold storms of winter, would have
been thick and full of warmth
A COW put in the stable over night
and given nothing more than bun
die of stalks will give third more
milk than if left without this extra
care; the food which would make
milk if the COW were kept warm Is
used to sustain life. 1t is profitable
kindness to house stock during the
cold nights of autumn, even if they
are not fed anything, rather than
leave them exposed to storms and
cold. Neglect of this kind is partic-
ularly hard on the calves, and they
are generally neglected the most.

A Timely Campaign.

Commissioner of Agriculture Price

matter of the pure food inspection all
over Georgia ana everywhere the in
spectors have been so far the city
authorities, boards of health and san
itary departments have given the
state inspector all the cooperation
necessary to make his work effect
i've and lasting. There is no depart
ment of the states activities that is
more important than the safeguard
ing of the food that the people are
given when they buy to eat, and for
that reason the inspections should be
carried as far as possible into every
city and town and village in the
state, and a close watch kept upon all
of the places where food of any kind
is sold

Good Roads Prevent Diseases.

Few persons, on first thought,
would see any possible connection
between good roads and good health.
Yet the State Board of Health of
Kansas says that good roads can and
will prevent disease. How? By the
removal of weeds and tiash. Weeds
and trash prevent the prompt evapor-
alton of moisture and promote reten-
ton of ground water. This makes
ideal breeding spots for mosquitoes,
flies and other insects, which are
known as disease carriers, not to
mention chinch bugs, hoppers and
other insects which are crop dam
ayers Furthermore, an underground
of weeds invites the dumping of garb-
age and manure by offering conceal
ment, of which fact careless and
thoughtless people are prone TO take
advantage, thus increasing the facil-
ity of insect breeding and providing
these insect carriers with proper ma
terial for disease transmission. Good
roads also prevent disease by provid-
ing good drainage. Many farms have
no means of drainage except by
bitches along roadways. Open bitches,
clear of brush and debris, with hard
ened surface and proper fall, afford
these farms the opportunity of rid
ding themselves of many a stagnant
pool. The removal of weeds, proper
road grading, surface hardening and
oiling insures prompt drainage OF
all pool. ditch and surface water, re-
moving the possibility of insect
breeders, for none can multiply
without moisture Road oiling in it
self is destructive of insect larvae, es-
pecially mosquitoes well known
fact. Dry roads offer pedestrians,
and notably children who are COM
PEELED to walk to and from school,
dry shoes and feet. While colds are
due to specific germs. yet it is we'll
known fact that cold, wet feet and
chilled limbs lower the resistance oil
individuals and make them more ia
vorable subjects for infections OF the
respiratory passages, including pneu
monia and tuberculosis. Good road
prevent disease by setting an exampl
to adjoining farm premises. Coo
roads promote travel and set an ex
ample to the farmer whose premise
are bordered by them. The comparl
son of a well graded, clean highwa
with an unkempt and trashy barn
yard adjoining is sufficient to stimu
late every land owner to clean VI
Pride eompels him to offer to passer;

mercial value.

Protecting the Birds
From the Macon News.

FROM the Macon news.
The day that President Taft be-
came Professor Taft he signed the
most important game bill in the his
tory of this country. President Will
son is now engaged in continuing the
work of saving our migratory game
birds from defamation. if not exter-
mination The new law is effective
beginning November l.
Between 1910 and 1913 the Amer
lean people exterminated the follow
ing birds: Great aux, pallas, cor
morant, Labrador duck, passenger
pigeon Eskimo curlew, Cuban tri-
color, Gosse's and Guadeloupe ma
caws, yellOW-winged green parrot,
purple Guadalupe and Carolina par
akeets Out of 2,230,2S0, goo pas.
senger pigeons a half century ago
there remains just one living species
that is now in the Cincinnati zoolog-
ical gardens.
Heretofore it has been the custom
to shoot migratory game birds, the
principal species of which are ducks,
geese and swan, together with more
birds all along the Atlantic coast
line, practically an uninterrupted
open season from fall to the follow
ing spring. This vast army of sports
men has been estimated in accord
ance with hunting licenses issued at
one million.
In the proclamation just issued by
the president practically a closed
season is placed OH migratory wild
fowl north of latitude ten degrees
after December f6, and in the states
south of latitude forty degrees Janu-
airy 16 begins the closed season with
few exceptions.
This means that there is hope for
some of the North American birds
which have been threatened With
early determination.

An Expensive Cruelty

they are hard to drive up and house,
and on this account are left to the
very last of the season.
The apparent stupidity of the
calves may be very easily overcome
by driving an older animal, such as
a gentle COW, to the field where the
calves are, when they will readily
follow her to the stable; then, if fed
a few nubbins of corn, of which they
are very fond, they will soon learn
to come of their own accord without
any trouble.
There is no doubt that the falling
off in condition of farm animals, be-
fore winter fairly sets in, is on many
farms equal to all they gain or grow
during the winter, thereby leaving
them no better in the spring than
they were before the long and expen-
sive feeding time began, and all the
profit the farmer has in their keep
ing is to count them up and say, Il
have wintered SO many head of cat
tie" The advantage OF compelling
n1ilch COWS to wander over the fields
these cold days is not apparent. Stock
to be profitable should commence
the winter in good condition and be
kept so. Under this system they will
grow, and growth is gain, and gain
is profit, Shrinkage is loss in body,
pail and pocket, not to mention the
moral obligations man is under to
keep his livestock in constant COM
fort.-Home and Farm.

BIRDS DESTROY BOIL WEEVIL

From the Fort Gaines Georgian.
A news item states that actual
observation in the boil weevil dis
trict has demonstrated that quail,
jaybirds and guineas are foes of
the weevils that are worth cherish
ing. A gentleman observing
jaybird flying in and out of mis- cot
ton patch killed the bird and dis
covered the presence of eighteen
boil weevils. 1t is time the farmers
of this country were learning the
value of the birds. In converse
ton with State Entomologist Wor-
sham few days ago he told the
editor of this paper that boil wee
wills are now in Alabama only a
county or two from Georgia. He
expects weevils to make their APP
pearance in this state next year.

1t is a pity that so many people be-
lieve, or profess to believe, that birds
are of no use except to shoot at and
kill. We have actually heard a few
men argue that partridges are of no
economic value except as food, and
that they harm the farmer far more
than they help him. Generally such
men pay little or NO attention to
game laws About the only way to
curb the unreasoning and lawless in
stincts of the do as l d please"

The day of the searecrow is ended,
for the department of agriculture has
declared that contrary to general
belief the crow is a friend to the
farmer and should be made welcome
when he comes to visit the corn field
instead of being received with bird
shot. after a careful study of the
habits and the examination of a large
number of crows stomachs the de-
partment experts have reached the
conclusion" says a bulletin issued on
the subject, that the crow consumes
enough grasshoppers, cut worms,
white grub and other injurious in

Only a Few Are Glad.

From the Sandersville Georgian.
Everything produced on the farm
is twice as high in price as compared
with twenty years ago, and some
things are about three times as high
This looks like it should be good
news to the farmers, but there are
only a few who are glad of it, and
these are the ones who produce their
own supplies and make cotton a sur
plus crop.

The Price of Peace.

The nations of the world continue
to profess peace, but there is no sign
of relaxing their precautions against
war Europe is in a perfect frenzy
over military preparations. Germany
and France started the ball rolling
with their new army laws, which call
million and a half of men to the
colors yearly. Austria is preparing to
raise her peace standing to 100000;
poyerty-stricken Italy is running her
credit and imposing an intolerable
burden on her people to fill the ever
gaping nav of Tripolitan adventure
and to maintain her place in the sui
cidal competition of ornaments; Bel
GUM and Holland are concerned for
their neutrality in the event OF war
and are making strenuous prepare
tions to maintain it with small sue
cess; Spain is endeavoring to fill the
gaps in her army and navy with un-
willing recruits and pouring treasure
into Morocco which she cannot hope
to get back for many years to come;
England is racked with doubt as to
the efficiency of her territorial forces
and is frantically demanding con-
scription.
Taking the naval expenditures OF
1928 as a basis for comparison
the naval budget of Great Britain
has increased by 80 per cent in the
last decade, that of the United States
by IS per cent, and of Germany by
1877 per cent. Meanwhile the peo
pies of the world are grooming under
the increasing burden of taxation.
The waste of capital and of human
energy involved in the maintenance
of this huge insurance against war
cripples production and clogs distri-
button. The cost of living scars, the
of living falls as the re-
suit of many causes, not the least of
which is to be found in the armed |
camps of the nations. The people suf-
fer while their rulers divert the ma
tional resources more and more to |
and continue to utter
pious platitudes about peace.

If You Don't LIKE the Town,

If you would like to see a place
That's full of push and snap,
A town that hits a faster pace,
A town that's on the map;
Yes, if a way you'd like to know
To find it in a jerk,
I'll tell you where you ought to go
You ought to go to work.
You needn't pack a trunk or grip
And leave the folks behind,
You needn't go and take trip,
Some other place to find,
You needn't go and settle down
Where friends of old you'll miss
For if you want that kind of town
Just make it out of this.

That the American people spend
more money for tunes than they do
for battleships and more for folders
than they do for soldiers was pict-
uresquely told by the great music
critic, John c.. Freund, in his Atlanta
address. Mr.. Freund, who is the ed
itor of Musical America" says that
Americans are not only true lovers of
music but that they are beginning
to throw off European domination
and create a music of their own.
There is no justifiable basis, declar-
ed Mr.. Freund, for the prevailing
prejudice against composers, con-
ductors, singers and music teachers
in the United States just because
they are locally bred. And we agree
with him.
