launched in the state, indicating as it

That the agricultural revival in
Georgia may be kept going and the
awakened interest and enthusiasm may
be directed into useful channels, the
remarkable spectacle is presented of
a state college of agriculture receiv-
ing funds from boards of trades, indi-
vidnals and corporations. The Geor-
gia State College of Agriculture has
received in subscriptions as much as
$3.50 this year to be used in direct
ing and carrying forward lines of agri-
cultural work which the college Is
promoting. OF this sum $500 has
come direct to the college, the re.
mainder being spent under the direc-
ton OF the college for premiums and
for club work in communities making
the subscriptions.
Most Of these contributions have
come to meet crying need which
the college could not supply with
funds allotted it by the legislature. 1t

want every thing else to give way to

One of the worst things that can
happen to a poultry rancher is a
plague of rats and it is plague that
is becoming more widespread all the
time. Every year the rats invade
new territory, and often in such
numbers as to make their suppression
a very hard and costly task. The
writer has fought rats for years with
about every known weapon, traps and
polsons of all kinds, dogs, cats, guns,
clubs, etc; and the rats fiourished and
increased apace. 1t looked for a
while as though the rats would take
over the ranch, and then an acqaint-
ance CHANGED to recommend the use
of the rat virus-prepared by the
Pasteur laboratories OF Chicago and
New York. This concern has never
spent a dollar advertising it's wares in
this paper, and it is not likely that
it ever will do SO, but this niggardly
policy of the Pasteur people in no
ways detracts from the SURPRISING

The Parcels Post has been in opera
tion for half a year now and it is
success as far as it goes. But that's
the rub. 1t was the dingdong fight
made by the farm papers OF this
country that secured for us even the
emasculated service we have at pres
ent, and when we consider how little
the farmer is benefited by it after all
we are reminded of the mountain in
labor which, as the result of its terri
BILE upheavals, brought forth a tiny
mouse. Herewith is reprinted
concise little editorial from Munsey's
Magazine which is worthy the careful
attention OF all poultry raisers:
THE PARCEL-POST AGAIN.
The first half-year of the parcel post
has justified the expectation that the
service will earn profit to the govern
ment of from fifteen to twenty million
dollars the first year. This with the
weight limit too low, the rates gener-
ally too high, and the business only
in the experimental stage. Certainly
the showing justifies the next step,
which must be long one if it is to
make the parcel-post real public
utility such as the country needs.
The present weight limit of eleven
pounds moves almost nothing which
directly affects the effort to bring
producer and consumer closer together
and to make their exchanges direct
and cheap. A peck of potatoes is
outside the limit; so is self-respect-
ing ham.
1t is proposed by one of the parcel
post experts to fix rate of three
cents for the first pound and one half
cent for each additional pound within
a hundrd mile zone. This, it is cal
culated, would pay expenses and
leave twenty per cent profit. Under
such rates. the town householder
could have contract with farmer for
a weekly hamper of produce-weight,
fifty pounds; contents, assorted vege-
tables, fruit, poultry, and eggs; total
cost of delivery, from farm to city
home, twenty seven and one-half
cents. On a hamper weighing one
hundred pounds, the cost would fig
ure fifty-two and one half cents.
With weight limit and other condi-
tions as now, there cannot be a fair
test of the possibilities of this kind
of exchange. A G. o. ID. stamp plan
has been initiated, which is a step
forward; it should be carried into the
realm of big parcels, SO that the post
Office would collect and remit for the
hamper, ii desired. Parcels-post ex-

Several varieties of chicken lice are
right on the job at this time and few
focks are without them. The COM
monest variety and the easiest to To-
cate and abolish are the big body lice
which generally get their start on the
old roosters. All the old males that
are kept over season should be ex-
amined frequently during the season
for they are SO lazy that the vermln
get started on them even in the clean
est of houses. Another louise very
plentiful at this time is the quill louise
or "depluming mite. This variety
is harder to find, in fact many anna
tours can hardly discern them when
they are shown to them. The quill
louise is very small and light colored
and is to be found at the base of the
quilts which they strip of their web
and eat completely through. The
head louise is another variety, generally
found only upon the young chicks,
and it not soon eXterminated proves
fatal to them. All of the above spe-
cies succumb quickly to any good lice
powder, most of which have base OF
napthaline flakes There is but one
way to apply it. Each and every fowl
must be taken separately and liberal
quantity of the powder rubbed well
into the skin. Lots of it must be
used around the vent, inside and out
side the thighs, under the wings and
on the back. After powdering young
chicks shake the powder we'll out of
their feathers, otherwise they may
suffer from the application. Several
lunatic inventions for powdering hens
by wholesale in revolving churns or
barrels have been placed on the mar
ket but, as they suffocate the hens
or bruise them fatally in addition to
the powdering, they are not used by
experienced poultry raisers.

UNCLE SAM MUST ACT
Foreign Diplomats Say Intervention Is
Only Remedy for Mexico.

Mexico City, Oct 18.-That the Unit

the impossible conditions constituting
a daily menace to the lives of other
nationalities" was the opinion eX-
pressed by several of the diplomatic
representa- tives who assembled for an
informal conference in the German 1e-
cation here. Among those who attend
ed were the ministers of Great Britain,
France, Germany Spain, Austria and
Norway.
No definite plan of action was agreed
upon but the situation was discussed
at length. None of those present
would discuss for publication what
took place but it has become known
that Intervention by the United States
was regarded by a majority of the dip
lomats as the only solution of the sit

Ten Boys Arrested for Smoking.

There were ten arrests this week for
boys who have violated the state and
city ordinances against smoking. All of
these with one exception received S. fines
by Judge Huron in police court. The
latest arrest was Wilbur Berry, a 17-year-
old boy, who was brought to the police
station this morning for calmly smoking
pipe. He was released a bond of
S. and will be tried this afternoon.
The crusade against minors smoking
started when J. w. F. Hughes was chief
a month ago. He ordered all of the to-
bacco dealers to discontinue the sale of
cigarettes and to stop the sale of tobacco
in any form to boys under 81. Several
dealers were arrested and there was
gradual reduction in small boys who
smoked in public. Lately youths have
become holder and Chief Ross instructed
his officers to arrest all offenders. This
was done with the result that nearly a
dozen boys paid SIS apiece for their smoke

Twelve years ago a kitten tripped
regally into the shop of A. l..
Thomas of the Santa Fe Watch COM
pany. He prowled among some frail
decanters, curIed up in a silver fruit
bowl, and slept. Henceforth he was
lord of the shop.
A commercial cat? of course he
was. More people came to see Rags
than came to buy wedding gifts. Of
ten they purchased a silver spoon or
a candlestick before they left the shop.
Mr.. Thomas loved Rags as we'll as his
wife-Mrs. Thomas loved Rags more
than her husband They unblushing-
ly admit it. Only once in his history
did Rags deprive his master of a GUS
tomer-and that's good story.
Rags fondness for music was re-
markable. He preferred rag time to
opera-sensible cat He leaped into
trolas, and purred at the strains of the
latest one-step. But he had a favor
ite-you know the air: ANY Rags?
Any Bottles?'' Thus his name.
Rags was a generous cat-a high
minded cat. The Thomases purchased
an Angora-a Persian named Togo.
How they could have done it is a mys-
terry. Did Rags object? No. He re-
garded Togo as the greater man re-

The mans terrier wanted to investi-
gate safe on the wrong side of the
counter. Rags, among the tumblers,
gave a warning hiss which meant,

and gave no heed. There was a clat-

the floor. A glass was shattered. The
terrier whirled from the shop, Rags
riding atop of him. The customer
slammed the watch on the counter and
followed his pup.
