"1E United States department Of
agriculture Is engaged In ex-
periments looking to the con
troll and eradication Of hog
cholera. During the past twelve
months the disease caused loss
among swine of over $G0.OOO.0O0
While this was slightly larger than in
previous years. the loss has run into
many millions of dollars each year for
a decade or more The Sixty second
congress appropriated $4,000 for the
department to begin work against the
ravages OF the disease. The work Is
now going on In Indiana. Missouri and
Iowa and is meeting with some en-
couragement. although 1t was only be-
gun in July. 1913.
Hog cholera usually makes its ap-
pearance In the spring and then
spreads with increasing rapidly until

the last week in June or before July

GRASS AND GLOVER SEEDING.

Within few weeks spring seed
ing Of grass and clover should be-
gin. Many have excellent success
sowing clover and grass seed in
wheat or rye in the latter part OF
February so that the light freezing
and thawing of early March may
cover the seed. This Is good way
where the ground is not inclined to
be wet and spouty. Probably the
best way 10 sow grass and clover in
the spring is To wait till sometime
about the middle 10 the Goth of
March when the ground is in con-
dtion and then sow the seed and
follow with light harrow or weed
or TO cover the seed. Do not be
afraid Of iniuring your wheat or
rye. The narrowing will probably
increase the yield of grain several
bushels per acre.

RULES FOR BORROWING MONEY

The government, through Farmers
Bulletin 593, has set forth rules which
should be followed in borrowing mon
ey. The three most important rules
are:
1. Make sure that the purpose for
which the borrowed money is to be
used will produce a return greater
than needed to pay the debt.
2. The length of time the debt is
to run should have a close relation tic
the productive life of the improve
ment for which the money is borrow,
ed.
|, 8. Provision should be made in
long time loans for the gradual reduc-
ton of the principal.
The first rule is, of course, the key
to the wise use of credit. Between
borrowing money to spend on ones
self and borrowing money to buy
equipment of some sort with which
toNmake more money there is all the
difference between folly and fore.
sight, extravaganza and thrift. If the
money is borrowed for a wise purpose
it will produce enough to pay back
principal and interest and leave a fair
margin of profit for the borrower
into the bargain. If it is borrowed for
a foolish purpose it will produce
nothing, and consequently there will
be nothing with which to repay the
loan. From this point of view it mat
tiers comparatively little whether the
interest be high or low. It is the re-
payment of the principal that is the
chief difficulty.
Rules 2 and 8 deal with the most
satisfactory ways of repayment. I'm
derneath them both is the same prin-
ciple. The loan must be repaid with
the money it earns itself. For ex.
ample, if the money is used to buy a
machine that will last ten years, the
machine must earn enough in that
time to pay for itself. or 1t never will.
The loan, therefore, should be entire
ly repaid before the ten years are up
or the farmer will lose money on the
transaction, paying out interest for no
benefit in return. On the other hand.
If too early a date is set for repay
ment the machine will not have had
sufficient opportunity to make the re-
quisite money, and the borrower may

FRANK MAYEs FOR WOMAN SUI
FRAGE

MI. Frank Mayes, tn etalented edi'
tor Of the Pensacola Journal, is a pos.
sible candidate for governor, and is
as bold of utterance in granting the
right of franchise to women as he is
on all other subjects.
That is M of the things that con
tributes to his popularity. What he
is, he is. He is never on the fence.
One can always tell what he is and
where he is. He never straddles any
question.
In our judgment Frank Mayes
would make an ideal governor.
On the question Of putting the bal
lot in the hands Of the good women
of our land, Editor Mayes has the
boldness to say:
reason why any woman, who desired
to do so, should not be permitted to
vote on any question on which men
are permitted tot vote. I do not know
that it would make any great change
in the politics or the government, but
whether it did or not, If there were
only one woman in the United States
who desired the privilege of fran
chise, she ought t o be permitted to
exercise it.
Woman suffrage would, however,
and does, / think, in those states
khere it now exists, tend to elevate
the politics of all parties to a higher
plane, and as a result it must in the
end conduce to better government no
matter what political party may be in
power.
Il am in favor of permitting the
women of Florida to vote, just az the
men of Florida now vote. And if, aft
er trial, they should make half as bad
a job of it as some of our men do, /
would be in favor of DISTINGUISHING
them again."
We admire a bold declaration of
that kind, and more and more are in
clined to favor the nomination of
Frank Mayes for governor.
Outside the question of the admira-
BILE qualities that fit Frank Mayes for
the place, west Florida is entitled to
the nomination in 1916 and should
have it.

have difficulty in raising it elsewhere.
Rule 8 provides for some form Of
amortization the system by which the
principal is repaid in instalIments so
that the amount of the loan is contin-
ually diminishing, and in conse-
quence the interest charges also Such
a system is quite feasible when the
loan is really productive, when it re-
turns to the borrower a definite reve-
nue each year.
There is no magic about eerdit. The
right kind of lender does not want to
foreclose mortgages; he wants his
money back with a fair profit. For
money that is wisely borrowed and
sure to be repaid, he charges low in
terest.
If credit is too easy. farmers and
all other classes borrow too rashly
and suffer in consequence. Don't Dor
row foolishly.
The government gives good advice.
when it says: Don't borrow-unless
you are willing to be guided by these
rules"
