Grosvsi1 OF The Conscience Eund.

The public conscience of the coun-
~ is evidently Wakening, for more
5eiaan $1,000 was returned to the Unit
Cd stf5t8s treasury last year, to ap-
aease tue st}Il, small voice within.
The fund, which was started in 1871,
mas now reached the sum of s4331, sol.
The largest amount ever received
was 5000, and the sums range from
4 few pennies TO large amounts. They
are always anonymous, and these are
the one kind ogsanenymous commune
cations to which public officials pay
attention. It has been popuIarly sup
posed that money Of this kind goes
into a separate fund called the. con
science fund, but as. a matter of
tact as soon as it is received it is
converted into the general fund Of
the treasury and expended the same
as any otner receipt. There was a
foag lapse after the receipt of the
first contribution il 1911, for the
next conscience -slitten writer did
not appear until 1872. but ever since
that year the expenditures of the
country and the receipts of the CON
science fund have been growing.

Changed His Mind.

Last summer Crowley rice farmer
tried to sell his ssfaTn at e bargain in
order that he might go back to his
Old home in Illinois. He eauld not
find a buyer, 50 he decided to plant
again. He put I50 acres in Honduras
rice. He nladeIen bags to the acre,
which he sold for s4 per bag. Of
course that only brought him $4,000
lie says it cost Ii1a $500 TO raise the
crop. Four thousand, five hundred
dollars was his net profit On one
years crop, He might have done as.
well in Illinois planting corn, but
there is a doubt about it. The same
farmer was asked = few days ago If
ne was still IN the mind Of selling his
farm here, and be replied that he
thought not--that he would go back
and visit his old home for few
weeks while his next crop Of rice is

Against the Buzzard.

The campaign against the buzzafd
| as a sanitary danger to the stock in
terests of the state has progressed
more satisfactorily in the last few
weeks, says the Times-Democrat, and
| the chances are we will get rid OF
this supposed seaYenger, which is
really a disseminator of charbon,
/ hog cholera and other animal dis
eases, much earlier than was ex-
pected, and without the Intervention
OF the legislature. 4 careful exanai-
nation of the statute books has not
as yet disclosed any statute protect
| ing the buzzard such as was sup
posed to exist Laws of this kind
were passed by a number of other
states at the time the buzzard was
supposed to be a useful member Of
society and valuable scavenger,
helping us to get rid of carrion; and
I it was popularity believed that Louis
lana had also thrown its protecting
aegis around the foul bird; but no
| law to that effect has yet been IN
earthed, and the attorney-general has
finally been appealed to for infornla-
ton Is the buzzard protected by
statute or not? Il not protected, the
bird can be exterminated in very
short order, if it is proved Injurious
and a menace to stock as charged.
The sentiment on this point is very
strong. Texas reached this conclu-
sion some time ago and repealed
the law protecting the buzzard, while
the Texas Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission, after Investigating the mat
ter, pronounced the huzzard men
ace and urged the farmers to get.
rid OF ii. similar decision has
been reached annassee, Where
the state live stock Inspector has
warned the farmers of the state that
the buzzard is a disease carrier.
The matter was taken up in Louisi-
ana and Mississippi only few
weeks ago, although the suspicion
had existed for some years past that
the continuance Of charbon and hog
cholera in this section was in some
way Identified with the presence of
the buzzard Country sentiment has
been very pronounced on this sub
ject. Later, the live stock sanitary
board of Louisiana took the. ques-
lion up and investigated. 1t has re-
ported that the buzzard is a danger,
and has announced its intention to
appeal to the farmers and live stock
owners to get rid OF it.
The south, and particularly the
southwest, has suffered heavily from
stock losses, and stock growing has
been conducted under somewhat ad-
verse conditions Id consequence Of
the prevalence of certain forms Of
epidemic disease among the stock.
The use of serums lately to prevent
or cure these maladies has greatly
checked their prevalence, especially
hog cholera; and with the extermina-
ton of the buzzard, which has proved
so dangerous a disseminator of dis
ease, the raising. of stock, hogs, etc.
ought to prove far more profitable.
The Louisiana Live Stock Sanitary
Board has issued a number Of warn
ings as to the treatment Of SICK ami
mails and the steps to be taken to dis
infect the yards, bury or burn the
carea sses. With its last warning
against the buzzard it viii, we be-
lieve, help to put the industry on a
sound bass.

Raised 6s6 Pounds OF Potatoes from

The following is taken from the
current issue Of Farm and Fireside::
lad IN the outskirts of Albany,
New York, and only twelve years. Of
age, has made a world record. The
state fair board offered a prize for
the largest yield from one seed pota-
60. Each contestant was furnished
one potato Of a special and unusual
variety in his part Of the state.
Eugene Dufand raised and exhibit
ed 6S6 pounds of potatoes, twelve
bushels Of contest quality and size,
and left at home, unWeighed, aboat
two bushels Of non-exhibitable size.
So far as known, this is fully twice
The yield ever before known from one
potato.
The potato had fourteen eyes
Each of these was planted in a hot
bed. When the sprout was about
three inches high, he cut it off and
placed it in sand, where it took root.
Durand then set il cut IN soil adapted
TO potatoes. The sprouts kept on
growing, and he kept on roofing them
and then transplanting them, and
