Farm Demonstration

Several colonies have come to our
Southern States, and gone on old
farms that were deserted because
they were considered worn out y
These foreigners are cuItivating
these farms with great success, and
showing our farmers how it should
be done A group in North Carolina
were eating vegetables of their own
raising seventy one da after their
arrival on the farm, otners marketed
potatoes in eighty days, and cab
bage in three months. Others are
sure to look into their methods and
the work of these few men
is bound to have q far reaching
effect.
An exile Mexican, also is opening
the farmers eyes with his ac-
compIishments. On special land,
especially prepared, he raised two
hundred and eighty bushels of corn
to an acre, but over an area Of five
hundred acres he averaged one hun
dred and twenty-five bushels to the
acre. With cotton he more than
doubled what we would consider a
good crop.

EquaIizing the Assessment.

The Board of Equalization closed
its labors this week, having added
$685. to the taxable values of the

perty valuations were lowered as
we'll as raised, the board being care
ful that justice be done as far as
possible in all cases under consider
alton. A notable instance of the
raising of valuations was in the
instance of our Electric Light Com

Cost of Bad Roads to Farmers
Is Staggering.

American farmers have begun to
figure the matters of roads little
differently than in former years.
When the good roads movement was
in its infancy, they used to ask them
selves, Glow much will good roads
cost me-" Thanks to the intelligent
propaganda of the daily and farm
papers, as well as other agencies,
farmers are now asking themselves,
Glow much are bad roads costing
me?'
According to government experts,
the cost of hauling ton OF farm
produce a mile varies from II cents
in localities where fairly hard gravel
roads exist, to 35 cents per ton
in parts of the country where the
roads are in bad condition.
On the other hand in those
! lropean countries where hard
roads pre-, 1il, the cost is as low as 9
cents per ton per mile. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has estimated
that the total haulage expense to
American farmers for year is ap-
proximatelv S5O0,0O0,0O0. And
every dollar of this stupendous sum
comes from the farmers pocket, for
he is the one great producer who
cannot add the haulage expense to
his wares, for the prices he gets are
on a delivered basis.
If every farmer would take pencil
and paper, figure the amount IN tons
of the produce and stock he markets
in a year; multiply it by the number
of miles he must haul it to market;
multiply the total By 25, which is
about the average haulage cost per
ton per mile, and then consider that
he could have nearly half of this
amount every year if he had an i'm.
proved road all the way to his mar
ket, he would become an earnest
good roads worker.

MOSQUITO BITES
Don't Scratch Them. Use Baking
Soda or Ammonia

Mosquito bites are unpleasant
things. Sometimes they are worse
than unpleasant. They may re-
suit in quite Il sore or serious
infection, especially on children,
or they may even be the first
intimation Of rapidly approach
ing case of malaria. A mosquito
bite should never be scratched,
as a sore is likely TO be formed.
Especially should the finger mails
be kept away from it. We know
that this is hard to DO especially
for children, but it is the right
thing to do, because finger nails
are collectors of all sorts of germs,
many of which we would not
want to get a start IN sore
mosquito bite.
The best thing to do for a
mosquito bite is to thoroughly
battle it with strong solution OF
ordinary baking soda or a weak
solution of ammonia, or any
other alkali This relieves the
itching and the consequent
tendency to scratch It and the
place soon gets well. Sometimes
a bandage soaked with a solution
Of soda or ammonia will bring
quick relief.
If there IS the slightest
suspicion that one has been bit
ten by a malarial fever mosquito
or even if one has to sleep over
night in an unScreened bed IN
an unscreened house in a malar
ial section or where others are
known to have malaria it is only
the part Of good wisdom to take
five grains of quinine day for
the next ten days rs a proven
tatiye against malaria and If one
has to live in a malarial section
permanently the safest precau
ton, even with screens, is to
take five grains of quinine daily
from May first until frost.
Such small amounts of quinine
will do no harm and in SO cases
out of 100 it will preventmalarla

The authorities of Elberfeld, Ger
many, are confronted with the most
puzzling problem that they have had
to solve since the bread card became
an institution in Germany-and all
because of show bear that is SO fus-

The owner Of the animal recently
was hailed before the lower court and
fined and sentenced to prison because
he had shared his weekly portion OF
bread with the bear. With two
m0ntfs' Incarceration staring him in
the face. he appealed, alleging that the
bear was his only means of support.
A kind hearted Judge changed the
sentence to fine of 100 marks, and
advised the owner to apply to the
