A few days ago / bought q
brindIe bull from Hermie Marx,
Port Gibson. He said he bought
him of Mr.. Magruder-which one

When / got the animal home |
found him alive with cattle ticks.

more than full of ticks.
Now, Mr.. Editor, Port Gibson
IS headquarters for tick eradication
work. One of the State Board
lives there. The veterinarian has
spent two years there. The Rev.

The Sand Clay Roads OF North
Carolina.

In lettering the public highways
of North Carolina it has been found
that roads made of sand and clay
are cheaper to build and maintain
than those constructed from other
material. Experience indicates
that the best sand or gravel to use
for this purpose is a clean, sharp
grit, the grains of which are coarser
than those used in making mortar.
The most desirable kind of clay is
that which becomes sticky, or
doughlike, when mixed with GER
tain percentage Of water, in order
that the mass may be pressed or
nodded into various forms and re
tain them after being dried. If a
lump of this clay be placed in
water, it will remain in shape for
a considerable length of time, thus
indicating that this material is
practically non-porous-a very i'm
portant consideration in building
sand clay roads. An excellent fest
of the proper clay for roads of this
kind is to wet the finger and put it
against the clay. If any Of the
clay adheres 20 the finger it is the
right quality: otherwise 1t is safe
TO assume that the material would
not be desirable. The proportion
OF sand and clay should be such
that there is just enough clay to

Don't burn corn stalks in order
to prepare the land. A farmer
wrote to me to-day skiing what
would be the difference between
turning under q heavY growth of
dead peavines and corr stalks and
burning them. In q heavy growth
of peavines he will have organic
nitrogen enough to be Is valuable
as a ton an acre OF = fertilizer with
! per cent ammonia and that would
be worth $40 to $I2 al acre. He
would lose this IN the burning, and
would lose the humus-making ma
terial, and would have left only
the potash and lime that were in
the growth burned. In many places
he would lose as much as al acre
of the land would sell ior.-PrO-
gressive Farmer.
So many farmers make the mis-
take of destroying valuable tertil.

land that has been cleared of stalks.

the stalks. Farmers, as rule, dc
not study their business as much
