KESOLU HUN M. L.
In view of the fact that the
people of this county have been
paying a heavy road tax9for the
past seven years, besides the
free labor required by law. and
the roads seem to get in worse
condition each year, until it is al
most impossible for the farmers
to get to and from market. We
the delegates and members of
the f. E. G. u. of A, of Nevada
county in convention at Hickory
Grove, April 10 and II, 1913,
hereby express our disapproval
and dissatisfaction in the way
our taxes are thrown away.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That this County
Union send an appeal to the
County Judge q. M. Thomas),
or the proper authorities, who
ever they may be: LIST, to apply
the mo ley and labor in fixing the
parts of the the roads that gets
worst, by grading and causWay-
ing in such way and manner that
traffic can be carried on at all
seasons Of the year. End, that
the overseers be required to hire
free white labor when it can be
secured instead of favoring con-
vict negroes to the exclusion of
free white labor. Also said
whites be secured on said road
district when possible. 3rd, re-
solved that teams and labor en-
ployed and paid out of the public
treasury, be employed at so
much per hour instead of by the
day, and no time be allowed for
going to and coming from work.
4th, Resolved that the County
court be asked to refuse to pay
overseer 81. SO per day when he
sends out teams and other hands

PROPER COL0RS FOR WALLS
Always a Few Rules That Are Well
to Keep in Mind When Dec
Grating.

If we redecorate in thorough way
our first puzzle is the choice of col
or A few rules are useful. Blue,
green, brown, and gray are excellent
colors for sunny, Nell-lighted rooms
If the room is on the north side of the
house or is ill-lighted we may need
to use yellow or yellow tan on the
walls in order to produce the sunny
appearance the room otherwise lacks.
Tan is a good all-around color and is
disable in well-lighted or poorly light
ed rooms.
All these colors are best If soft.
For example, sage green wall Is
much more pleasing than bright
green or a leaf green wall; copen-
hagen blue is better than a vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
in a great variety OF shades is always
a favorite.
Bright red should never be chosen.
1t is crude in color and tiresome to
live with. A soft mulberry red is
sometimes desirable color, and a
brownish or Indian red is also in good
taste.
AS a wallpaper always looks dark
er when hung on tho wall than it does
in the sample, we must take care to
select medium or light shades, il we
want cheerful rooms.

Young. looked on?
Because If they do-here's a piece
from real orator. 1t fell from the
lips of one of the most interesting
men in congress, Judge Adamson of
Georgia. He is the man who is said
to have dressed in a whirlwind and
never to have rearranged his toilet,

Sixty or more years ago the wilt
pigeons were here by the millions.
They fairly covered the skies when
they flew over in f1ocks. They sold
in those days at five cents dozen,
and they were the best eating in the
world far superior to the tame pig
cons we have now. Suddenly they
disappeared, and in a year or two not
a pigeon was to be seen anywhere.
They seemed to have been driven
away by cruel treatment. They re-
scented their bloody slaughter. There
has been a strong desire to get them
back. 1t was reported that pair
had been seen near Ansonia, Pa, and
a reward of $4,000 was offered to
anyone who would secure the pair
alive, says the Ohio State Journal
Thousands of people spent last Sun
day securing the woods in that vicin-
ity, but no one succeeded in finding
the pair. They are an extinct species,
not exterminated by the evolution of
Nature, but by the devilution of man.
But what q change from five cents a
dozen to $4,000 a pair and none to be
had at that.

dairy capacity Light in the flesh
she is big In the body, showing plenty
of room for the vital organs and also
capacity for dealing with the full
supply of food, so necessary for
dairy COW. She is an attractive COW
and good seller.
Island-bred Jersey cows have an ap-
pearance of delicacy but the cows
bred in the states seem to be quite
able to stand the climate. The Jersey
is occasionally very heavy mixer.
AS a rule she milks reasonably WE'LL
but her strong point is the richness
of the cream.
The Ayrshire is medium-sized COW.
Her strong point is the large average
milk yield. Ayrshire milk Is not
usually rich in butterfat 1t is equal
ly serviceable for butter and cheese
making and for milk trade.
The point which recommends m1lk
for cheese making is the small size
of the fat globules in the milk. When
they are small, as in the Ayrshire
milk, they do not rise quickly SO that
they are caught in the curd when 1T
coagulates.
Jersey milk has large, fat globules
which rise quickly, making the milk
unsuitable for cheese making.

Ia latter years, great change has
come over the cattle industry. Dairy
ing has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Breeders of pedigreed cattle have
awakened to the fact of a new posi-
ton In the dairy industry. Jersey and
Ayrshire cattle, having long been
bred for dairy cattle, do not come
under the ban already mentioned, but
pedigreed Shorthorns, although there
have always been deep mixers among
them, have been regarded with sus-
picion in the best dairying districts.
Latterly, the herds of Shorthorn
that we're bred on dairy lines have
been pushed very much to the 'front.'
COWS of this breed have appeared at
the dairy shows and have proven re-
peatedly that the right sort of Short
horns can be first-class dairy cows.
The following are good dairy breeds:

work is going on today. but in much
smaller way. In the far backwoods
districts these old-fashioned sign stick.
ers may be still busy, but they are be-
coming rare in the environs Of Wash
ington.
1t is the practice still of certain ad'
vertisers to stick up signs at country
stores and on the sides of blacksmith
shops, but this work is not done SC
much by the old-fashioneG professional
sign stickers as by the "drummers
who drive through the country, and IN
most cases the drummers simply hand
the signs over to the country store
keepers, and those public functionaries
put them in place. OF course, these
signs advertise only what the store
keeper has for sale on his own shelves
But the tree signs nearly all have
passed away.

GOOD HINTS FOR
SWINE FEEDING
As Corn Contains Excess of Car
bohydrate Protein Must Be
Given in Other Feeds.

Hogs are not fitted by nature to
subsist entirely on waste products.
They do their best on a. clean, we'll
balanced ration. There are, however,
some kinds of waste products, such
as apple and potato Feelings, table
scraps, etc., that can be utilized to
good advantage.
In the corn belt corn stands at the
head of hog rations, being the cheap
est and best feed available, writes c..
e. Wallace in the Farm and Home.
Feeds rich in protein should be fed
with it, for corn contains an excess of
carbohydrate. Skim milk, grass and
especially the clovers, are excellent
sources Of protein. The young grow
ing pig needs proportionally more
heterogeneous food than mature hogs.
When hogs reach the fattening stage
corn can be fed almost exclusively
Clean waste scraps of fruit and vege-
tables may be fed with the foregoing
feeds, but it should be borne in mind
that the digestive apparatus of no ami.
NAL is fitted to simulate soap suds and
other chemicals OF like nature, which
are often thought by the poorly in
formed to be excellent hog feed.

enhanced value Of the individual
specimens of fruit
With this method of culture 1t is
especially desirable that the plants be
started early and transplanted two
or three times before moving to the
field. BY moving square or ball OF
undisturbed earth with each, plant
growth is scarcely checked.
We make it q practice to remove
large share of the leaves when trans
planting in the beds and when moving
to the field. This tends to preserve
balance between root and branch.
largely preventing whiting Of stalks
and minimizing check in growth.
Plants moved to the field in this
manner are but little checked in
growth If the ground has been well
fitted and soil moist.
We have moved strong and stocky
plants that were two feet high with no
resultant whiting of either leaves or
stalks.
Such plants should be staked imme-
diately, the plant being tied to the
support below the first cluster of
buds. Tie again, later on, below the
second and third clusters. In tying
allowance must be made for the
growth Of the stalk. Three full clus-
ters of fruit are enough for one plant
Branches must be removed as soon
as they appear.
With this method plants may be
set rs close as IL inches in the row.
Rows should be four feet apart to al
low plenty of room for horse cultiva-
| ton.
Cultivation should be frequent, but
shallow, as the roots of tomato plants
seek the surface where the soil warns
up under the influence of the suns
rays. Mere stirring of the surface as
with garden rake creates ideal soil
conditions among tomato plants.
For fancy market purposes or for
the home garden this method of cul.
ture cannot be too highly recon-
mended.

Why is sleep? Now, please, don't
answer this question right off the bat,
so to say, by remarking that it is an
instinct or a necessity or anything
like that. For Drs. Legendre and
Piedron of London, in experiments on
dogs have discovered that sleep is due
to a toxic substance in che blood de.
veloped by long periods of wakeful-
ness. There you have it, you see
the longer you stay awake the surer
you will be to sleep. And you may
know of some persons who have ar
rears of sleep due and uncollectable
for various reasons, and others who
have long overdrawn their accounts.
All of which goes to show that sleep
is rather an uneyenly distributed
thing and-O, well, what of it?
