Fighting for Life.

The common belief has been that
crowded cities present a larger NOR
tality than the open country. hut this
Is c~ontroyerted by the late report Of
the state Board Of Health. in which
1t is set forth that the death rate in
the rural districts OF this State Is
higher than that Of New York city.
While the death rate 81 the latter
has diminished one-third during the
last fifteen years, the country rate
has remained stationary.
The reason Is obvious. New York
city has been favored with an official
health protcctorate that equals if it
does not surpass any health depart
ment in the United States. When DR..
BIGGs accepted the post Of State
Health Commissioner he was moved
by the desire to accomplish the same
results in mortality reduction that he
has been chiefly instrumental In at
tanning in New York city, a patriotic
and humane aspiration.
With the rapidity and unerring
skill Of one who knows the intrlcacies
Of sanitation practically and scien-
titically, DIR. BIGGs organized n com
p~rehensive system Of rural sanitation,
with whole time health officers re-
sponsible to the State Health Depart
ment and yet Independent in It's func-
lions, that left nothing to be desired.
In an address before the American
Public Health Association Governor
WHITMAN deplored the lack of finan-
cial support for this splendid scheme
by the Legislature. He said
II sincerely hope that some means
may be found by which the services of
these physicians may be retained and
feel confident that next year, when the
members OF the Legislature are made
fully acquainted with the facts as 10
the value OF these services. funds will
be provided for their continuance.
II shall use my influence to attain
htthAH
this end, for while rigid economy in the
administration of the finances OF the
state is essential, savings In expendi-
lures attained through decreased efi-
cheney in health work are not only I'M
wise but resolve themselves In the end
into irreparable waste OF the most valua-
BILE resources OF the Commonwealth.
1.-THE promise of the Commissioner of
Health made at the beginning of the
year to save $4,000 lives In the State
in Ave years seems almost certain OF
realization " the necessary support Is
accorded to the department in It's work.
w are confident this pledge will be
more than redeemed.
T the attainment OF this splendid
goal pledge my cordial and hearty sup
port so long as | am Governor.
81 trust that New York may not only
wage a successful war against prevent
able disease within her own borders,
but that her example may b of some
assistance to you who are ighting the
same battles through tho length and

nent."

ming meal.
If possible, after the horses have
finished their evening feed, they
should be turned out in a lot where
they can roll and get water at will
during the night. This applies espe-
cially during hot weather.
The selection Of a ration and gen.
eral care of horses depends largely on
local conditions, and the United States
department of agriculture advises the
farmer to get in touch with the county
demonstration agent whenever he is
in doubt regarding the best methods
of handling stock. In case there is
nc county agent, the farmer should
write the state agricultural station for
information.

The s. Lection of a ration fol horses
and mules in the South depends large
ly upon the kinds of feed available,
the prices OF the feed, and the
amount snd character of the work.
For 1000 or LOO pound horse at
moderate work daily ration of from
10 to IL pounds of grain and from
IL to II pounds OF hay should be am
pie. At light work the grain ration
should be increased. For a horse at
moderate work weighing from 1000 to
LOO pounds the following rations
will be found satisfactory. These ra-
tons are to be divided into three
feeds Nearly one-half OF the rough
age should be fed at night and the
remainder divided between the morn
ing and noon feeds. The grain may
be divided into three equal portions,
to be fed morning, noon and night

VINE PRUNING IN THE SOUTH
Proper Time to Work on Grapes Is in
Spring, Just Before Growth Starts
Leaves Stop Bleeding.
(By c. N. sCHULTzl

In the South the only time to prune
the ordinary grapes is just before
growth starts in the spring Then
the leaves will soon stop the bleeding.
One spring in North Carolina. the
weather turned hot the first of March
and the vines that had been pruned
in the fall made shoots six inches long
while those that had not been pruned
hardly swelled the buds.
The last week in the month the
mercury suddenly fell with a norther
to 20 degrees above zero and the
shoots on the pruned vines were fro
zen. After the freeze | pruned my
grapes and had a normal growth, while
those around me hardly got half a
crop. / had learned this from seasons
years before, when had seen the
same thing. But the Scuppernong
must be pruned In November or De-
cember as it bleeds worse than the
cluster grapes.

Make Your Work interesting.

Do not look on your work as dull
duty. If you choose you can make it
interesting. Throw your heart into it,
master its meaning. trace out the
causes and previous history. consider
1t in all its bearings, think how many
even the humblest labor may benefit,
and there is scarcely one OF our duties
which we may not look 20 with en-.
thusiasm. You will get to love your
work, and If you do it with delight
you will do it with ease. Even if at
first you find this impossible, if for a
time it seems mere drudgery, this may
be what you require; it may be good
like mountain air to brace up your
character.-Lord Avebury.

Protectlon for skunks.

The high prices paid for skunk fur
has caused great demand for skins
and In some parts OF the South the
animals are being protected by wire
fences built around their favorite
haunts. The skunk ought to be pro-
tected because 1t is always feeding on
the enemies Of farm crops. In many
states they are protected by law.
