The Cattle Tick
Eradication in Florida.

1t is gratifying to note that the more
enterprising cattIemen OF Florida are
adopting modern methods for the Grad
ication of the cattle tick-a parasite
probably originally imported from
Texas.
There is but one sure method of
killing the cattle tick and that Ia by
dipping. Some OF the Florida cattle
men have recently constructed dipping
watts and are dipping their cattle after
the method now employed by the
Stockmen of the western states.
The tick nor only reduces the value
of the hide to the tanner. but It stunts
the growth of the animal and makes
1t impossible to put on the normal
amount OF fat and flesh and it In
creases the amount of feed necessary
TO sustain an animal Where the stock
man has to feed both the cattle and
the ticks he is in an expensive bust
ness
Florida now has some fifteen or
twenty dipping watts and we may ex-
pect a largely increased number hy
another year. Alabama. we believe.
has some 400 or 500 watts and more
are being constructed right along.
The agricultural college at Gaines
vile or the department of agriculture
at Washington will furnish free Of
cost to any farmer or stockman full
particulars and diagrams for the con
struction of dipping watts and the for
n1ula for the arsenic solution to be
used in them.

Mr.. Bryan and His Work
AT Washington.

The Hearst papers, which never
hesitate to lie about Mr.. Bryan. and
various and sundry other enemies OF
the great comnoner, continue to mis-
represent his work at washington be-
cause he occasionally goes out Of the
city to deliver ron-partisan lecture
It In noticeable, however, tnat these
critics cannot point TO a single spe-
ciic instance Of neglect of duty nor
have they ever made comparison Of
Mr.. Bryan.s record for attention to
duty with the record OF any OF his
predecessors And those who are in
washington. and in position to
know. give some very explicit testi-
mony as TO the secretary Of states
faithfulness In the matter Of service
-Mr. Bryan Is always on the job"
says Charles Hills Thompson In the
Philadelphia Ledger THAT is literally
true. He often stays at the department
until midnight: he is almost always
there until 8 or o'clock; but even
when he goes home he LIS always in
contact with the department and with
the White House. He almost sleeps
like a fireman. in his trousers
Secretary Tumulty, who, like most
Of the members of this administration.
works day and night. told me that IL
the telephone bell in the White House
rang as late as IL or IL at night. 1t
was likely to be Bryan at the other
end of the wire The newspaper men
in Washington tell me that they are in
the habit of finding Bryan at his Office
almost any time at night they go
there"
Mr.. Thompson says further that Mr..
Bryan, after remaining at the state de-
partment all day sometimes travels to
n neighboring city to deliver an even
ing lecture, returns to Washington the
same night and Is found at mis- desk
once more at . o'clock next morning.
Senator Lane Of Oregon says that he
thinks ''the country will be millions OF
dollars ahead and the interests OF the
national government far better con-
served by having a man OF Mr.. Bryan's
proven character at the head OF the
state department. instead OF having
there n close and intimate friend of
the large business interests. who os-
tensibly does nothing but what Is right
and proper. but behind the scenes is
turning the country over, bound hand
and foot. to those who would and do
loot IT."
And after all, neither President Will
son nor any member OF mis- cabinet nor
any Of the rank-and-fil voters. whose
interests are at stake have been heard
complaining about any neglect OF duty
on the part OF Mr.. Bryan.

SAFETY DURING STORM

The question of personal safety during thun-
der storm Is perhaps the most interesting to the
majority Of people. II In building which Is iso.
lated in the open country or is higher than sur
rounding buildings in a group, avoid chimney or
other dues, open windows or drafts, especially
warm currents of air directly below high tower
or flag pole, peak or angle Of the structure, is
the warning given by the writer in the New York
Sun. Keep away from overhead wires entering
building although these are generally protected
by lightning arresters. the currect is not always
arrested"
If in the open avoid frees, wire fences or poles,
and if you happen to be the most prominent OBJ
ject in the landscape as In an open field on
beach, do not raise steel rod umbrella, or. in
fact any umbrella, as you may become living
lightning rod without an approved ground connec-
ton. II you should happen to be caught in such
open space, with lightning discharges coming
close, as may be determined by the lessening in
tervals between fash and report 1t is better to
lie fiat on the ground and risk soaking than to
offer possible path for discharge. The reason
FOR this is that the body. being warm offers bet
ter conductor than the surrounding air, and only
few feet rise is necessary to attract lightning on
fiat ground.
Questions as to the action Of lightning striking
a building are frequently asked and are some
what difficult to answer without going into a
lengthy discussion Of the various kinds of dis
charges and other matters Of a more or less techl
meal nature. Let us, however, take the most
frequent case, that Of the ordinary "forked light
ning~ as seen at distance, which at close range
becomes the binding flash, with the accompany
Ing instantaneous crash. often causing disastrous
results to life and property This discharge is
caused By q difference Of potential between earth
and cloud The one is heavily charged with posi-.
tive electricity the other with negative, with the

air between acting as an insuator If the all
is sufficient to keep apart the two currents no
discharge will take place except from one cloud
to another. Now, as the storm moves on it comes
closer to the earth or meets some object in its
path which offers less resistance than the air
maybe tree, pole building, etc. The electrical
pressure is so great that the slight decrease in
resistance offered by such object is sufficient to
cause the current to jump the intervening space
and we have the destructive discharge This ex.
PLANTATION will be clearer to those who have seen
the spark gap from coils used on automobiles
Now let us assume that Instead of the object
before mentioned such as a tree, pole building
etc. we have perfect conductor OF electricity as
a steel building, steel tower or pole In electrical
contact with the EARTH the current passes through
this into the earth silently, the pressure is re-
lieved and in the great majority Of cases there 10
no violent or explosive discharge
Here is where the function Of the lightning rod
appears, similar to pipes tapping the tank and
drawing of the water before dangerous pressure
Is brought to bear on the tank properly con-
structed lightning rod win, in the vast majority
Of cases. act in this manner by silently discharg-
ing the current from cloud to earth, thus pre-
venting the Violent discharge which we call the
thunderbolt

TRY THIS APPLE MINT JELLY
No More Delicious Combination, for
Those Who Like Flavor, Can Be
Served With Mutton.

Apple juice forms the basis of a
great number of our conserves and jel-
lies, and here is an idea that will be
new and pleasing to those who dearly
love their mutton served with mint
and apple jelly, as it should be. Cut
apples out without pairing; simply cut
ting out bruises and imperfect spots.
Barely cover with cold water, put a
cover over the kettle and let them sim
mer until soft throughout; then turn
into cheese cloth and drain. Measure
quart of this juice and three cups Of
sugar. Set the sugar iii the stove
oven, spread on shallow dish. Place
the juice on to boil with the fresh, ten
der leaves from a bunch Of mint. Cook
20 minutes at a boil; strain out the
leaves; add the hot sugar and boil un-
til the syrup will jell when tested on
cold saucer. II you wish the pretty
green color or the mint jelly served
you at the tearoom table. use little,
as it must be dainty tint. Pour into
glasses same as other jelly A pretty
fancy is to use tiny tumblers or glasses
such as the imported barbecue comes
in. One of these can be served tt

Of farmers and young men whose forefathefs
have always looked down upon manual work. and
issues popularity written literature for the enlight
eminent Of the agricultural classes, also are ex-
erting their influence to persuade the cultivators
all over British India to make use Of modern Inn
PIGMENTS Many of the native states, too, are fol-
lowing the example of the British administration
and are carrying on similar propaganda for the
enlightenment of the agricuturists. This is espe-
cially true of Baroda and Mysore, two Of the
largest territories under native rule. It is quite
natural therefore that the demand for farm Ma
chinery should be growing
Since most Indian farmers are exceedingly poor
and cannot offhand afford expensive implements
they have taken to clubbing together sometimes
as many as ten of them combining their resources
to buy reaper; and in many instances they arc
not satisfied with this machine alone, but indulge
in improved machinery of other descriptions. In
the central provinces agricultural associations
have been formed to interest the tenantry in the
use of up-to-date methods. This means midas
salvation; for the implements now in use on the
land are of the crudest character imaginable. The
pillow Is nothing more than crooked stick with
blunt piece of iron fastened to the point The
handle stands up at right angles, and by this the
primitive share is laboriously guided as 1t is
dragged through the hard-baked earth by the pa
tent bullocks The cultiyating is done with
shorthandled hoe, which can be used only when
the worker is squatting on his heels, and he wad-
dies along at his task without rising. The corn
is cut by a hand sickle and threshed out by the
old-fashioned method of driving oxen over and
over it. The winnowing is done by pouring the
grain out Of small baskets held high above the
head by man, either standing on the ground or
on a sort Of stepladder, the wind blowing away
the light chat while the corn falls in heap be-
low Fodder is cut into shreds with small
handknife Water is drawn from shallow wells
or rivers or ponds, sometimes by Persian
wheel" operated by one or two oxen, sometimes
by hand, sometimes by baskets let down and
quickly drawn up and emptied into shallow,
narrow channel which conducts it to the field.
In view OF all this, the adoption Of modern imple-
ments is move in the right direction.

of India which is very small indeed Added to
this is the fact that fell work has been done by
the bubonic plague and the population has been
ruthlessly thinned out AS a result there con-
stantly is a dearth Of laborers especially at har-
vest time. Then, too, during the cotton season
1t is necessary for the many ginning factories
which have been established to coax to them
men, women and children who otherwise would
be available for field work. This further shortens
the labor supply on the farms. Indeed, the short
age is so great that the government irrigation
department, which is constructing supplementary
canals to bring more water to the Punjab colo
Mes finds 1t necessary to employ mechanical ex-
cavators since coolies are not to be had for love
or money. IN such circumstance 1t is only
natural that wages should rise, so that the land
owners find 1t more profitable to employ labor
saving machinery than hands.
The same causes which have induced the Pun
TAB colonies farmer to use modern implements
are persuading their brothers in other parts Of the
country to take them up Whenever one thinks
of India he has in mind its teeming millions and
cheap scale of wages; but he rarely remembers
that the price of labor has risen a great deal
during the past few years and still is rising, com
polling the wise native to employ mechanical in
stead of manual help. Moreover, the agricultural
