The boys in the local railroad OF.
fees were feeling better yesterday
since 1t is known that transportation
is not to be disturbed by the strike
which was slated for Friday of the

Breaking Halter Breakers.

The horse that breaks his halter,
and won't stay hitched," can be bro
ken Of the habit Of pulling back by a
very simple devise. Place the horse
in stall with a back bar so that he
can back just so far and no farther.
Tie a weight 10 the loose end Of his
halter, giving him just sufficient play
to lift the weight from the ground and
place it on his head stall. The horse
will back as far as he can then give
the customary jerk 10 break the rope.
He gets no results. The weight at
the other end pulls steadily at him
and he must yield to the continuous
force.
The same principle is applied 10
horses that will not stand hitched by
hunters. The horse is tied 10 the
end OF branch OF a tree instead Of tc
the trunk. il the morse tries to break
away he meets with steady resistance,
Were he tied TO the trunk Of the
tree his weight and the sudden i'm
pact would brenk the stoutest halter
but where there is steady pull agains
him he has no chrnce 10 break away

Two Brands OF Courtesy.

Occasionally some city daily paper
takes a wallup at country people,
picturing them as the typical rubes Of
Of ancient days.
1t serves as vent for the city edi'
tors surplus egotism, and does US no
harm.
But for the sake Of friendly compar-
ison let US take a peep at just one
little phase Of city liie-couresy to
women.
A man from the country was in
large city recently and had occasion
TO make trip to the suburbs about
FIVE o'clock in the afternoon. The car
was soon crowded with people going
home from the days labors. and the
man from the country found himself
sitting opposite gentleman" Of the
city garbed in immaculate attire and

A feeble old lady entered the car,
and in the absence Of a vacant seat
was standing BY the side Of masculine
repository Of superior intelligence.
The intellectual higebrow Of city
breeding looked up, gave her cold
stare, and calmly resume the reading
Of his psper.
The man from the country as
promptly gave her his seat.

There's A Remedy.

How many merchants VINO see their
business gradually slipping away from
them realize the underlying cause of
this condition Of afairs2 OF course
there may be number Of reasons, but
generally the principal one is that the
people are losing interest because
they never see the merchants adyer-
tisements in print.
The business man who never ad-
vertises Can hardly expect to success
fully compete with the one who makes
his advertising an important feature Of
bis business.
Advertising Of the right kind will
laways bring results, and the buying
public reads the advertisements Of a
live paer as religously as it does the
news columns.
The readers OF this paper want to
know something Of the wares the
the merchants OF this town have fol
sale. II YOUR ad. is missing they
will probably turn to the OTHER
fellow the man who GOES AFTER
business, and GETS IT.

Guarding Our Rural Maids.

A movement is on foot among club
women Of the United States to have
railroad trains supplied with chaper-
ones, whose duties will be to safeguard
our rural maids and youthful matrons
from the attentions and Establishments
Of strange men while travelling alone.
The move is a wise one and should
be fostered and encouraged. 1t is
needed, and we are for it.
And we bow down in gratitude to
these noble and high'minded club
women Tor their solcitous attitude
toward our winsome country lassies.
But there is seldom an ointment
without its fly.
From a casual reading Of the move
ment as exploited in the daily press it
would appear that young women from
the country are the only ones who are
sufficiently unsophisticated as to be
unable to care for themselves while sep
arated from the maternal apron strings,
while the wisdom OF the city-bred cir
makes her immune from insult.
Or, at least, rhat appears 10 be the
opinion Of the wise ones Of clubdom.
Now, in order that we may not be
outdone in generosity, and that oul
rural light may shed its rays after, we
humbly suggest that our good womer
Of the country inaugurate movement
for the protection Of young girls Of the
city from the polished human vampires
who make practice Of preying upor
young innocence abroad.
Surely our sisters OF the city are wor
thy Of some measure Of protection
slight though it may be.

Missouri Has Good Coal Year.

The production OF coal in Missouri
in 1918 was Abb, us short tons, val
ued at S6,469, 1903, a decrease com
pared with 1912 Of 20,73l tons in
quantity and $165, $50 in value. With
the exception OF 1912, however, the
output in 1918 was the largeat in the
history Of the state. The decreased
production In 1918 was hue primarily
to the exceptionally mild weather in
February and March, according to E.
w. Parker, OF the u. S. Geological
Survey, the output in those two months
being nearly $4,000 tons less than in
the corresponding period in 1912.
The deficiency was mcde up in part
by an increased demand from the rail
roads. The coal.mining industry suf-
fered somewhat from the drouth during
the summer, and at times water Tor
boiler use had to be hauled to the
mines. Transportation facilities were
ample and satisfactory, and there was
little interruption to mining operations
on account OF labor troubles.
The number Of fatal accidents in the
coal mines Of Missouri in 1918 was re
duced to just one-half Of the fataliies
Of the preceding year, or from 20 to
10, according to reports TO the Bureau
Of Mines.
The occurrence OF coal in Missouri
appears to have been known as early
as 1906, according TO references in
IAN account Of expeditions TO the
sources Of the sources Of the Missis-
sippi," etc., by Zebulon M. Pike.
The coal attracted the attention Of the
early settlers and numerous small local
mines are reported TO have been opened
by them. No record is extant OF the
quantity OF coal produced in those
early days in Missouri, and the first
statement regarding the quantity mined
in the state is contained in the report
Of the United States census for 1870
in which year production Of 6,97i
tons is recorded.

Both Crops and Humans Along Better Now
Salt Down the Mites.

Mite time has come again and it is
high time that something be done to
free the poultry houses from these
ugly parasites. Ali poultry houses are
likely TO be troubled with mites and
other insects part Of the time and some
are troubled all the time. But all
poultry raisers can easily free their pre-
mises from the pests cheaply, effective
" and permanently by applying this
remedy.
On damp day when the house
is moist, take pail or so Of common
salt and throw it all over the poultry
house, even on the roof, as mites
sometimes harbor there, Put a liberal
quantity on the ground inside and a
few feet around the house. After this
is done make a strong brine and with
a spray pump or an old broom thor
oughly saturate all the roosts, nest
boxes, coops, and the ceiling Of the
house. While everything is damp
throw more dry salt over everything in
side, letting plenty Of salt fall on the
floor. The saltI soon dissolve and
penetrates every nook and crevice
and kills every mite and all othet in =
sects. Always do the job on a damp
day as the salt will then not dry so fast
as on a sunuy day and will dissolve and
penetrate the lumber better. The
salt will stay for years and it does not
harm the poultry. II the poultry
raisers Of the state would salt down
the mites as outlined, it would save
thousands Of chickens and a greater
egg supply would be the result.

State Nursery and Orchard inspection

The Inspection Service Of the Miss
ouri Agricultural Experiment Station
will soon begin its second years in
spection Of nurseries and orchards.
This work is done in connection with
the enforcement Of the Inspection Law
passed by the last Legislature. This
law requires that all nursery stock pro-
pagated in the state be inspected once
each year before the grower can sell it
or otherwise dispose OF it. This is
done to prevent the further spread Of
dangerous insects aud plant diseases
on such stock. There are in the
state between l25 and $50 men and
firms propagating nursery stock which
includes not only fruit trees, but also
shade trees, ornamental shrubs, vines,
blackbeuies and raspberiers and in
fact, all woody plants grown out OF
doors. The law requires all men and
firms propagating such stock to apply
to the Chief Inspector, Columbia,
Missouri, for an inspection Of such
stock before the first Of July OF each
year, so that all Of the stock can be
inspected during the months Of July
and August when the State Inspectors
are devoting their entire time to such
work.
The State Law requires that all
men and firms who are not propagat-
ing nursery stock but who buy and
sell it under their own name as deal
ers, jobbers, tree planters, landscape
architects, etc., must apply for a
Dealers Certificate. Allregular agents
representing Missouri nurseries or
in other states must secure State
Agents Permit by applying at the
Of the Chief Inspector.
In order to make the work Of the
Inspection Service the most effective
possible and in order to protect the
horticultural and agricultural interests
Of the State as they should be protect
ed, the Chief Inspector desires that
nurserymen, dealers, agents, farmers,
and Others who are interested in the
inspection work, report to this office
all information regarding the growing
and handling Of nursery stock and
cases Of outbreaks OF destructive in
sect pests, such as San Jose Scale and
the like. This will help the Inspect
ion Service extend its work and give
aid where it is needed.

Joseph Knowles, a Bostonian, is
making another bid for newspaper
notoriety. This time he will go into
the wilderness in California, clad only
in a breechcloth, and without firearms
or other means OF sustenance will seek
to wrest his living from nature for
sixty days. There is at least one
saving grace to his fool stunt-he will
achieve a saving in laundry bills.
Some men are so skeptical they
never even believe themselves.

Keep Up The chlrch Bug Fight

Inc CnluCn DuBs aLC USRlunluR W
migrate fully ten days earlier than
usual. In some places they are al
ready moving into corn fields and
remedies must be applied at once.
Where the pest has not yet begun TO
migrate use the dust and chemical
barriers to hold them in the wheat
fields. The best dust barrier can be
made by blowing one or more parallel
bitches and dragging log through
these until every clod has been ground
into fine dust. 1t is the dust, rather
than the ditch which keeps back the
bugs, so make sure that there is
plenty Of fine dust. After the ditch
has properly been msde tits necessary
that the log be dragged back and
forth in it every few minutes during
the warm part Of the day when the
bugs are most active, so as to keep
the dust stirred. A plowed strip pro-
perry worked so as to maintain a fine
dust mulch will take the place Of the
bitches.
In case Of rain dust barrier cannot
be maintained and a supply Of creosote,
crude carbolic acid, heavy road oil or
coal tar should be on hand for making
chemical barrier. Keep the line
fresh by adding more material to pre-
vent them from breaking across.
Where the chemical is thin like oil,
apply it by bending the edge Of pail
so as to form a narrow spout or by
driving a nail through the side Of the
pail so as to permit only fine stream
to escape as the line is being formed.
A narrow firm path should first be
made with hoe, shovel or drag along
which the chemical is poured. The
line need not be more than an inch
wide il it is renewed often enough.
Post holes placed so as TO touch or
cut into the line will act as traps into
which the bugs will fall where they
are easily killed with coal oil.
Where the pest mas already gotten
into corn, spray or use a torch 10 kill
the bugs. The spray recommended
is made as follows: dissolve one half
pound Of laundry soap in one gallon Of
Of water by boiling; then add two gal
Ions Of coal oil to The soapy water and
beat the solutions up together. An
old churn is excellent for the purpose.
Dilute 10 twenty or twenty five gallons
before using. This apray kills when it
touches the body Of the bug and it
may be applied to the migrating swarmS
on the ground, as we'll as on the corn.
Paris green and other arsenical poiSons
are no value, since this bug takes its
food in the form Of sap through a
piercing beak. Cobs saturated in coal
oil and lighted, are sometimes used to
flash up and down infested plants for
killing the bugs. Waste no time
attempting to scatter diseased bugs,
for the seeds or spores Of the disease
are present in all soils and if the
weather is proper the disease will deve.
lope and destroy the bugs without
mans aid.
Farmers may help in controlling the
chinch bug by reporting all outbreaks,
as well as the results optained by us
ing the above remedies, to the Miss
ouri Agricultural College, Department
OF Entomology, Columbia, Missouri.
