Historical Research

The patriotic societies of Mis-
,sissippi, as has the Department
of Archives and History, of Mis-
sissippi, have been active in their
efforts to secure all possible in
formation, from hitherto unpub-
lished sources, of the early histo-
ry Of the state. This work has
resulted in many recovered doc
uments of public and private ma
ture, but all equally valuable for
the preservation of this early his
tory.

The Horn Fly

Prof. Harmed, of the A.. & M.
College Experiment Station,
gives the following preventives
for horn fly on cattle:
When the flies appear in large
numbers, the best method of COM
batting them is to apply repell-
ants externally to the animals.
A repellant is some substance
that is so distasteful to the flies
that they will not come near it
and at the same time it must not
be injurious to the stock. Many
substances have been used, but
only two of the most satisfactory
ones will be mentioned here. Cd
A mixture of two parts of crude
cotton-seed oil and one part of
pine tar. This should be applied
to the ANIMALS with a large paint
brush. 1t can be done best at
milking time, if dairy cattle are
to be treated. Fish oil may be
used instead of the cotton-seed
oil. One application will last
about five days. (2). Another
preparation that is applied in the
same manner as the tar and oil
is made as follows: One ounce
of crude carbolic acid, three
fourths ounce of pennyroyal, one
fourth pound Of SULPHUR. and one
gallon of crude cotton seed OIL

WILSON FAvoRs GOOD ROADS
dom of National Improvement by
Means of Communication.

President-elect Wilson in many pub
lie addresses has VOWED his belief in
the wisdom of national Improvement
Of means Of communication, and par
ticularly of roads, to which he specif-
cally referred in his address at the
American Road congress at Atlantic
City, on that occasion saying among
other things: n
"A nation is bound together by its
means of communication; and. it's
means of Communication create its
thought. .- 3
I'VE must more and more engage
the government in providing the gen.
eral facilities of the common life.
There is no. breach in that of any
of our older understandings Of the
functions of government. We have
never doubted that the government
had the right to supply these facilities
which private endeavor has never
been expected to supply. Therefore
we are not upon a new ground OF
theory; we are merely upon a new
ground of tactics.
"The question of highways Is one
of the few great instrumentalities Of
our public and our communal life with
which the government is Of necessity
connected. l see that we must do
what we have been backward in doing
as compared with other nations.
II tell you frankly my interest in
good roads is not merely an interest
In the pleasure Of riding in automo-
biles. 1t is not merely an interest in
the much more important matter OF
affording farmers of this country and
residents in villages means of ready
access to such neighboring markets
as they need for economic benefit, but
1t is also the interest In weaving as
complicated and elaborate a net Of
neighborhood and state and national
opinion together as it is possible to
weave. 1t is of the most fundamental
Importance that the United States

There is a great waste of money on

earth road to be cut up in q horrible
manner. without the use Of the drag

dry, only to be worn down by the feet
of the teams and tires Of the vehicles.
Ia certainly the most extravagant
method that could be pursued. says q
writer in the Orange Judd Farmer. It
requires weeks, or possibly months, to
get them in proper shape again. Drag

should be no difficulty to get pay.

The Empty Nest

You've found in your walk in
the wood an empty nest. The
mockingbird nestlings had flown.
That nest was wrought with
loving care, with a wisp of straw,
a few feathers from the mothers
own breast, a twig enlaced with
hair, and one fine morning with
the sun they rose from their nest
and were gone.
Do they ever think of the emp
ty nest? Does there come a long,
ing for the old home when the
day is done?
And this reminds us of anoth-
err empty nest. We love it so-a
group of nestlings and a moth
er's love. Some fell asleep; some
flew away like the little mock
ingbirds. We all love to think
of the songs the children sung.
We see again, sometimes, the
walls where the pictured faces
were. We dream Of the empty
cradle, the oldtime clock and the
rocking chair where we knelt to
lisp the evening prayer in the
days long gone. We see the
blooming flowers, the spreading
trees, the droning bees and the
pond we Waded.
We cannot go to the place
again and if we could there
would be no baby faces to greet
us. Poor mother, tired and
worn, long ago was borne away
to rest by tender hands. Home
is like the desolate nest, left by
the mockingbirds.
But there, at last, when LIES
race is run, we would like to rest
just as the tired mockingbird that
seeks its old home with the set
ting of the sun. Surely angel
spirits will be lowering near the
nests when the one-time
fedglings wing their way back
to the haven fair. = Jackson

A Stitch In Time

will serve as a study basis.
Treat and save the eye Of a
man, while it can be done, either
as a business economy or an act
of charity, rather than suffer
him to go blind and then care for
him in his dependent condition.

attention and then offer our aid
to their helpless orphan children.
In brief, restore the normal
strength and activity Of body
life rather than build and main
tain so many eleemosynary in
stitutions to care for our INDECENT
population. This is good bust
ness and good religion combined.
A hospital is a repair shop for
the human body, and should have
the best conveniences, comfort,
equipment and efficient service
that money can provide. The
Baptist Memorial Hospital at
Memphis, Tennessee, is now Of
fering an unsurpassed, if not an
uneuualed service in it's line, in
the interest of all who may stand
in need of its beneficences.
Upwards of two thousand bod
les have already been repaired in
our shop during the past year.
A few, of course, have been car
ried away in tear stained. flower
covered caskets, having failed in
relief from the best service we
could render, but the grateful
among all the others will ever
thank God for our timely bene-
factions.
1t may be of interest to note
that we have done upward of
nine thousand dollars worth of
free work during the past year,
and the extent of our labors in
this department are perhaps
without precedent for a new in

Lifeboats on Guide Rails:

Commander Eaton, R. NJ, has invent
ed an interesting device for the lower
ing of boats at sea with the minimum
of danger to passengers, which is now
under the consideration Of the board
of trade, according to a London dis.
patch. Commander Eaton has de-
voted considerable attention to the
subject and has a practical knowledge
of boat work at sea. J.;
His system is the provision of lifts
down the side of the ship, so designed
that the boat rests on platform which
slides down guide rails fixed to the
ships sides. The boats themselves
swing on gimbals. SO that no matter at
what angle the ship may swing the
boats remain upright and there Is NO
danger Of their being overturned while
descending or Of being dashed against
the sides of the vessel :
