be to you. Here it is:
Dear sir:-I am anxious to know
the reasons why you refuse to ap-
point Dr. T. j. Woods county health
officer. Now do not want to get
into your confidence unless you
choose to let me into it, but | am
the member of the State Board OF
Health from the End congressional
district, and your county being in
the End district, the matter has
been referred to me for settlement.
| do not want to urge the appoint
ment of Dr.. Woods if there is any
valid reason against his appoint
ment. Please write me at once and
tell me what you feel like, telling
me in this case and suggesting the
names of other physicians in the
county whom you would be willing
to appoint and who stand to the
front in the medical profession. We
cannot recommend Eclectics or
Homeopaths, but only Regulars or
the old school physicians"

What do you think of this act
when the Aashlieht is turned on itY
| am frank to confess that since |
have studied the act think it one
of the worst laws ever put on the

dozen reasons why. In the first

we need a health law for. Second,

HOW TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA
Safe Method Is to Give Pigs Serum
Alone at About Three Weeks to
Get by WEAVING Time.

Pigs from immune sows are not al
ways immune to cholera. Some filters
may be narrowed in infected pens and
go past weaving time without becom-
ing infected, while others get cholera
within two or three weeks after far
rowing. A safe method is to give these
pigs serum alone at about three weeks,
which will usually carry them well
past weaving time, when they can be
given the simultaneous treatment
There are some herds where the pigs
seem to be very susceptible to cholera.
In this 1t will be necessary to give se-
rum alone more than once in order
to carry them several weeks past
weaving. Pigs given the simultane-
GUS method soon after weaving some
times lose this protection within q
few months. To acquire longtime
immunity, pigs should weigh at least
80 or so pounds at the time OF re-
ceiving simultaneous treatment. At
this weight the immunity usually last
through the ordinary lifetime of the
hog, although In some instances hogs
that have been proved positively i'm
mune at ITS pounds have later de-
veloped cholera.

New York, Sept. A feature of the

refuge ship Hellig Olav of the Scan
dinavian line from Copenhagen was
the demonstration of loyalty on the
part of the Russian people The war
against Germany has struck a popular

czar there are demonstrations of pa
triotism before the St Petersburg pal
ace continually.

from st. Petersburg, sad:
Il was in the Russian capital while
the mobilization was going on. Hun

Mrs. c. C. Witt of Cincinnati was on
her way to st. Petersburg from Stock
holm when hostilities began.
"Our ship was stopped by Russian
cruiser and compelled to put into
Uleaborg," said she. 1--WE went from
there to Hango. The whole city was
in fear of a German attack and the
engineers received orders to mine the
harbor. This was done, but through
mistaken zeal the mines were ex-
ploded and for time the populace
was in terror. The harbor works were
valued at more than $1,000,000. A
court martial was ordered, but before
it could be convened the commander,
who was responsible for the destruc-
ton, committed suicide"

GO SLOW AT THE BEGINNING
Get the Very Best Stock for Founda-
ton From Some Reliable Breeder
Who Has Blood Lines

For one who is just entering the
poultry business there are many points
to be considered. The plant once
ready, the first proposition the man
runs UP on is what stock he will use
and how he will mate it. OF course.
no one nowadays should consider go
ing into poultry raising with lot of
harlequin barnyard fowls. Get the
very best foundation stock you can
possibly pay for, and get 1t from
reliable breeder who has got the
blood lines. Select male bird not
overly large, with neat comb, good
and clear. eyes, broad back and a
wide front For females, choose birds
with full fronts, deep keels, long.
broad backs. not too heavily feathered.
1t is best for the beginner to select
one breed and stick to it until he has
won his experience Do not attempt
too large plant at once. Begin easy
and go on up as you get experience.
In this way a loss win mean less and
will really be only an educator.

Long time ago, in the days when
the Indian hunters followed the trail
of the bear and the deer far into the
mountains, the little boys would watch
the hunters go away from the camp in
the early morning and wish that they,
too, could go. Sometimes one boy
would run after the hunters a short
distance, and then an old man would
call out:
"Ho, little one! Do you think you
are the brother of the bear, and do you
go to hunt with the Wild Boy?" Then
the boy would come back to the camp.
Tell me about the Wild Boy and
the bear!" the little boy would say,
arrow for the boys tiny bow, he would
tell this story:
1t was in the days when the people
lived close beside the river which runs
south, and when everybody was happy
and had plenty to eat. There was a
young woman who lived with her
seven brothers, who were all good
nuupORS- OuO hSpI lOI IuOIIJ
and dressed the skins Of the animals
when her brothers brought them in.
And all day she was singing.
But once the hunters did not come
back at night, and this young woman
sat up and waited for them.
On the seventh night, some one
came to the house where the young
woman sat and knocked at the door.
"Siyu!" (helloD said voice outside,
and the young woman went to the door
to see who it was.
Out in the moonlight stood the Wild
Boy, with his bow and his culver OF
arrows over his shoulder.
Who are your" asked the young
woman.
Il am the Wild Boy, and have come
to make bargain with you," said the
boy, who stood in the moonlight. 81
will go and find your seven brothers
and bring them back to you If you will
marry me. 1 have lived in the trees
with the bees and the birds so long
that am getting lonely"

SURROUNDINGS FOR POULTRY
Most Important Of Conditions Con-

CBy J. JEFFERY.)

There is perhaps no branch of poul-
try work about which more questions
are asked or information is more
wanted than diseases. There is also
no branch Of work that it is better for
the poultryman to keep away from
than doctoring sick fowls. Poultry
men throughout the country suffer
heavy losses from diseases at times
not so much because they do. not know
how to cure disease as because they
do not understand the principles OF
sanitation and the importance of pre-
ventive rather than curative measures.
The Importance OF sanitation has in

fore she agreed that II he would bring
back her seven brothers she would
be his wife. Then the Wild Boy ran
away into the woods and the young
woman went to sleep for the first time
in seven nights.
AS the Wild Boy went swiftly
through the woods he sang the song
which the young woman had always
sung as she worked. And the bear,
who slept at the edge of a meadow be-
side the river, heard the song and got
up and went to see who it was sing.

And the bear met the Wild Boy in
the meadow and asked him where he
was going.
Il am going to find the seven broth.
ers Of the young woman who is to be
my wife," said the Wild Boy. And
then the bear laughed.
You will never find Them" said the
bear, unless 1 go with you to show
you tho road across the notch in the
mountains which leads into the Dark
ening Land"
Then you must come with me right
away" said the Wild Boy.
What will you do for me-" asked
the bear, "if come with you?"
81 will be your friend" said tho Wild
Boy.
That will not do" said the bear.
You must be my brother!"
And for a while the Wild Boy
studied about what the bear had said.
and then he agreed that he would be
the bears brother. So the bear passed
his tongue over both cheeks of the
Wild Boy, and the two went on to find
the seven lost hunters.
In the Darkening Land they found
the seven brothers of the young
woman and brought them back to her
house. But then, when the young
woman got ready to go with the Wild
Boy as his wife, the Wild Boy cried
out:
No, do not want a wife, for l am
brother to the bear, and must stay to
live in the woods!" And ever since
the Wild Boy has lived in the woods,
where only the bears know where to
find him.

Chickens grown on ground which

The lime has no fungicidal value
but it increases the efficiency of the
mixture by causing it to stick go the
foliage.
Although very often the bordeaux
mixture and poison for the beetles
may be combined, this method can
not always be relied upon.
To successfully control the beetles.
the poison must be applied imme-
diately or soon after the eggs hatch
For this reason, when potatoes are
raised on large scale, it is necessary
to have machinery which covers q
wide area in days time.
Weak bordeaux mixture is made by
combining four pounds of copper sui
phate with 8 pounds of lime to 100
gallons of water containing the
poison. This weak bordeaux mixture
should be made in the same manner
as the standard bordeaux mixture.
Usually at least three applications
will be necessary to get the best re-
suits, and in some seasons as high as
four applications are advisable.
The amount of spray mixture ap-
piled per acre will depend upon the
size of the vines.
Early in the season 100 gallons of
the mixture may be needed to cover
from two to three acres.
At the last spraying, when the
double nozzles should be used. 100
gallons will cover from one to one
and one-half and possibly two acres
in some cases
The chief difficulty in spraying for
the potato beetle seems to be that
most growers postpone applying the
