TYPHOID SITUATION
 WORRIES DECATURS'
Physicians Meet to Discuss Handling of Serious
 Problem

Decatur. February 14.-tSpeeialD-Al of
 the physicians of the two Deeaturs. to-
 eether with Mayor James A. Nelson of
 Decatur and Mayor A. A. Hardage of New
 Decatur. pr. E. M Duncan city bac-
 terologist of Birmingham: Dr. P. B Moss,
 state bacteriologisl, and United States
 bacteriologist from Cincinnati, met in the
 office of Dr. J. l.. Gunter, county health
 offices. in New Decatur last night.
 Tile purpose of the meeting was to go
 over the typhoid fever situation here and
 discuss it in a formal way. Dr Dun
 can and Dr. Moss have been in the De
 caturs for the past two days looking into
 the situation, visiting the infected points and securing samples of water. etc. A thorough examination will be made here and samples of the water and milk will be taken to Birmingham and Montgom-
 cry and analysed. Owing to the fact that there Is not lavortory in the Decaturs where an analysis can be made, it win per
 haps be Tuesday morning before the real source of the typhoid fever here can be l as.ertained.
 While at this time there are about 20 cases in the two Decaturs, still the sit ] uation is not regarded as alarming. But the medical board in the Decaturs and in this county propose to go to the very 1 seat of the cause and stamp out the dis l ease as soon as possible. It is believed 1 that it can soon be stamped out. | Typhoid fever first made it's appearance few weeks ago in this county in the Val heimoosa Springs and Eva precincts, some miles to the east and south of De- 1 catur
 E. R. Whitton, superintendent of the l Decatur Water Supply company. is giving | the experts all the assistance within his l power. Examinations have been made of | the city waterworks, the city Altering system, the sewerage system, the dairies l and creameries. and every other possible i! seat of the disease has been gone into l by the experts. Mayor James A. Nelson 1 of Decatur and his board of aldermen and Mayor A. A. Hardage of New De- I catur, and his board of aldermen are also giving every possible assistance to | the experts to determine the cause of the disease.
 Whatever the cause may be all medical men agree that the cause is only q tenn porary one and can be soon removed l just as soon as the seat of the disease is | located. This, it is believed, will be known not later than sometime Tuesday.

Miss Margaret Poland made a talk on the value of music in the school, and taught song to the pupils of the school. Miss Julia Priv cit talked on the art of story telling and the educational value of the story. President Daugette made an inter- esting talk outlining the ideals CT the normal school and expressed a desire to cooperate with the rural schools in every way possible for their bet terment.

FINANCIAL SITUATION

Prices rose In the early period In response to the maintenance of regu. lar disbursements by several of the leading railroads and industrial com panies, whose dividend stability had been brought into question, and made further gains on the excellent tonnage statement of the United States Steel corporation for January. Further en- couragement was derived from the de- cision- of the interstate commerce com- mission defining the rate making powers of railroads running between Missouri river and Pacific coast points.
 Yet another interesting development of the week was the further decline in exchange between New York and Lon don. which caused the Bank of England to relinquish part of the gold sent by our bankers to Canada in the early stages of the war. Since the announce- ment of the first engagement exchange

A field Of red clover In full bloom is
alive with insects. Such profusion
of insect visitants, both as regards
number of individuals and number OF
species at one and the same time Is
afforded by no other plant that we
know of, with the possible exception
of alfalfa. In the clover fields Of our
experimental farm we have taken two
hundred species of insects--not all OF
them injurious, though more than half
of them feed on the plant, adding
to these the other species that have
been listed as feeding on clovers,
vetches and alfalfa, 1t Is seen that
these plants are food for more than
two hundred different kinds of insects.
A hundred or more are predaceous or
parasitic on these clover insects, or
else feed on animal or vegetable mat
ter In the soil of the clover field.
No part of the plant escapes attack.
The roots are eaten by the larvae and
the beetles of the root-borer, as we'll
as by those of half dozen other
species, and are drained Of their sap
by the mealy bug. The stem Is hol-
lowed out by the common stem-borer.

COWPEAS FOR DAIRY CATTLE
Recommended by Tennessee Farmer
for Their Great Soil Building
Qualities and Feed Value.

81 raise cowpeas for their great soil
building qualities and their high feed
ing value, especially for dairy cattle,
writes a Tennessee farmer In an ex-
change.
"The crop should be handled to suit
conditions. 1t works nicely in rota-
ton with other crops or serves well
as a catch crop on stubble where the
season is long enough to permit.
"In most sections drilling is pre-
ferred to broadcasting and the crop is
then cultivated the same as corn, Con-
siderations both of expense and yield
favor the cultivation method. Broad
casting is all right If the crop is sown
for hay and the ground is not too foul
with weeds or crab grass.
1--WE drill bushel of cowpeas to
three acres and handle the crop as we
do corn. 1t natures in from 70 to 80
days, depending upon variety.
DO not plant until danger of frost
is over. When planting on stubble as
a catch crop we double disk the land
and then drill or SOW broadcast. Don't
plant the seed too deeply. like to
plant about two inches deep In moist
soil. This gives good even stand

crop unless certain precautions arr
taken. Many Influences combine to
reduce the crop Of seed. The worst
injuries to the seed are insidious In
their nature. and are caused by in
sects. These injuries are Of three
classes: ID Those Of negative kind,
due to lack Of pollination. (2) The
positive injuries due to miscellaneous
insects that eat clover heads in an In
cidental way. 90 The positive injuries
caused by insects that feed solely upon
clover seeds or florets. The first two
groups are relatively unimportant In
comparison with the last.
The Importance of the bumblebee In
the pollination Of red clover is SO we'll
established as to need no discussion.
That of the honeybee, however, is not
sufficiently recognized. The honeybee
pollinizes clover to some extent, even
though its tongue is two millimeters
shorter than the average coralla tube.
A field of red clover is always
thronged with honeybees If any Of
them are being kept within mile or
two Of the place; and these bees Sc
cure nectar from flowers that are un-
dersized, especially In times Of
drought, when most of the flowers are
smaller than usual; also from flowers
that secrete copidus amount Of nee
tar. The bees, bumblebees especially,
should be protected always. They are
the best friends Of the clover grower
Early pasturing Is the secret Of a
good seed crop, as the growers in New
York, Ohio, Michigan and other states
have found. The explanation Is sim
pie. The fact is that pasturing gives
a good seed crop for the reason that
it delays the heading of the plant until
time when the seed-midges and
seed chalcids are no longer on the
wing and laying eggs. When precau-
tons are not taken against these
pests, they can be counted upon every
year to destroy most OK the clover
seed. In some localities these two In
sects eat from so to rs per cent of the
red clover seed every year without

is now quite frequently losing propo-
sition. Losses from the above-named
source can be reduced to minimum
by handling flocks properly.
Stomach infection follows usu-
ally the grazing of uninfected lambs
upon old or permanent pastures that
have been previously infested. The egg
from which the stomach worm is
Matched Is thrown off in the feces of
infected sheep. Under favorable eli
matte conditions this egg matches out
the parasite, which develops in the
organic matter Of the manure until
about one-thirtieth of an inch In
length, at which time 1t is ready to be
taken into the stomach Of the sheep
for complete development. The worms
chances of reaching its host are en-
HANGED by its crawling up on the ten
der shoots of grass so eagerly sought
by lambs.

Sows and their filters are now upon
alfalfa pasture. Some growers claim
that they can produce pork profit
ably upon alfalfa without the use OF
grain. 1t Is possible that this can be
done, but | have yet to see pigs at
tain satisfactory weight at six months
of age which have had nothing but

such pigs In the fall for feeding pur-
poses that did not weigh over sixty
five to eighty pounds at six months
of age. A pig that has been fed all
that 1t will eat from birth should
weigh 200 to 225 pounds at that age.
The pig that does not weigh over rs
to 100 pounds In the fall has been
stunted, and the resulting gains will
not be satisfactory when the pig Is
put upon feed for finishing out. The
frame growth will have stopped to
certain extent, and, while they will
lay out fat, they will not make the
gain per day that thrifty pigs will
make.

Both the stems and the leaves are
pierced by many hemipterous insects,
especially aphids and jassids, and are
eaten by a great variety Of caterpil-
lars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are
also the heads of the flowers. The
ovule is destroyed by the maggot of
the seed-midge, and the developing
seed is eaten out by the seed-chalcid.
Even the hay Is the special food Of a
certain caterpillar, hence called the
clover hay worm.
Some of the insects of the clover
field are of course, beneficial. Such
are those that pollinize the flowers
bumblebees and, to some extent, honey
bees, as we'll as those that act as

Most of the clover insects are not
limited to clover, but to other food
plants as WELL The seed-mldge and
the seed-caterpillar are, however, con-
fined to the clovers, and the seed
chalcid to clovers and alfalfa SO far

drain on the plant through the attacks
of insects. This annual drain Is not

New Matched chicks require special
food and care, especially during the
first ten days. After they are ten
days old the following mixture should
be kept In a trough where the chicks
can run to 1t at all times. Thirty
parts cornmeal, 30 parts wheat mid
lings, 10 parts pure beef scrap sifted
fine and one part bone meal, and

AS the chicks increase in size the
mixed chick food can be replaced by
coarser grains. At this stage 1t may
be advisable to feed wet mash once
day, about A p. m. The chicks
should be given no more feed than
they will eat up before going to
roost. AS they increase In size they
should have access to dry mash in
a hopper, where they can help them
selves.
Some essentials for successful
brooding are, clean food, consisting
Of both cracked grains and ground
feed; animal food, such as milk, but

extra bone-making material, such as
bonemeal; clear water; plenty oil
shade; comfortable dry quarters; free
