First County Commencement

DREN EVER KNOWN THE co UNITY; MANY PRIZE WINNERS

The first annual Henderson county
commencement, which was held in
HendersonVille last Friday, was COM
plete success.
s The event exceeded the expectations
OF, the most optimistic 1t was unani-
mously declared to be the most in
spring educational event ever held in
the county.
The commencement represented
hard and faithful work on the part of
all the educational forces in the coun-
ty and despite some handicaps and the
fact that this was the first Countrywide
commencement ever held in Hender-
son county, it was a gle ing success.
The. movement for a county COM.
mencement was publiclJ agitated for
the first time last fall when after a
representative from the Democrat se-
cured favorable expressions from
members of the county board of edu-
cation coneefning the movement and
launched q publicity campaign in its
behalf. The Henderson County Teach
ers association decided to make COM
mencement and. since that time they
have worked faithfully and persistent4
Iy for the first event of this kind in the
county and now they feel highly re-
warded for their efforts.
In commenting on the success of the
commencement, Supt. w. S. Shitle Of
the county public schools said:

which attended the efforts OF those
working for the commencement. They
are all of the opinion that it was one

pleasure to add that the teachers OF
the county stood faithfully up to the

DIR. J.. S. BROWN EXPLAINS
IMMUNIZING HEALTH CAMPAIGN
$500 Appropriated to Fight Typhoid

made in Henderson county against
typhoid fever
The Importance of this work and is
purposes are outlined in the following
statement which DR.. Js s. Brown has
furnished upon request Of the Demo

This new invention is typhoid vac

The State knows that the ten or more

SAMPLE OF SOILS FOR
LABORATORY EXAMINATIONS.

To plan intelligently any system of
fertilizer application, it is necessary
to know something about the soil SIS
well as the corp. Some 0f this infor-
nation may be gained By am
analysis of the soil. To make IabofA.
tory examinations the most essential
feature is a correct sample, If the SAM
pie does not represent the field undcr
cultivation no matter how carefulIs
the anaIysis are made, they are Of lit.
tie value. ssz~5ssss,s,SS .ss4-ses So.
The Division OF gAgfUnonny of. the
Experiment Station will be glad to
make examinations OF the soils for any
one who will take the trouble to col
Iect a fair sample from the field to be
cultivated, and will advise the use OF
the fertilizers which have given the
best results on this type of soil.
TO take a representative sample. it
is necessary to observe the following
directions. Do not take the sample
at random from any points on the
land, but consider what are the two
or three chief varieties ofasoil which
make up the cultivated area and care
fully sample each separately. After
selecting proper spot, pull up tho
plants growing on it, and sweep off
the surface with a broom or brush
to remove half decayed vegetable
matter not forming part Of the soil
as yet. Dig or bore a hole like post
hole, and note at what depth a change
in color occurs. A sample to that
depth will constitute the soil. Always
take the specimens from more than one
spot judged to be fair sample and
mix thoroughly in package or sack

Fences OF this kind have turned

fence that will turn a coyote should
turn dog. 1t is important, however,
to remember that the bottom strand
of barbed wire must be fat upon thu
ground, even If grading and filling VI
holes is necessary to accomplish this
BY feeding sheep on forage crops the
area to be fenced can be much dimin
ished. Moreover, dogs rarely attack

pense of fencing a large area he ma,

counties are complete records avail
able. Moreover, the number of sheen
killed by no means measures the
harm done to the industry in this
way. Persons who have seen a flock
of sheep chased by dogs until they
drop dead of exhaustion are not likely
to be encouraged to risk their money
in the business Of sheep raising.
In new publication of the United
States department OF agriculture,
Farmers bulletin 652, THE Sheep
Killing Dog" some suggestions are
given for uniform law In all the farm
states to check the raids of dogs on
farm flocks. The underlying prin-
ciple of the proposed law is a tax suf-
flciently heavy to discourage the keep
ing of dogs by those persons who are
not willing TO take proper care OF
them. This tax, it is said, should vary
In accordance with the number of
dogs kept by each individual-one
male being taxed only $3.50, each ad-
ditional male $500, and each add
tional female $500 The tax must be
paid each year and a license tag OBJ
aimed when the money is paid. If any
'os is found unattended without this

| tag he should be killed, and any dog
found unattended on a farm where
sheep are maintained may be killed
whether he has or has not a license
tag. Under any circumstances a dog
| caught killing or chasing sheep should
be killed. A reward of $500 is pro
posed for the Identification OF dogs
known to be sheep killers, and such
animals should be killed at once.
With the money obtained from the
dog tax the county should reimburse
sheep owners for their lost stock, and
when possible recover this money
from the owners of the guilty dogs.
1t Is, however, extremely rare for dogs
to be caught in the act Of killing
sheep, and 1t is always difficult to
Identity positively the offenders. For
this reason the law existing in sew
eral states which permits flock mas
tiers to recover damages from the own.
ers of guilty dogs is of comparatively
little service.
A law based on the principles al.
ready outlined would, it Is believed,
greatly reduce the numbers of stray
and vicious dogs, while not injurine
to any appreciable extent the interests
OF the true dog lover. If losses from
dogs could be effectually prevented
there seems to be no reason why the
number Of sheep kept on American
farms could not be vastly increased
1t has Leen estimated thai in the SO
farm states this increase could be $50
per cent without displacing other live
stock, and some authorities have even
placed 1t as high as 500 per cent An
increase OF $50 per cent would mean
in money $1L5.267,000
In Great Britain the value of sheep
on high-priced farm lands is thor
oughly realized, and in Great Britain
and Ireland there is one sheep OF
lama t. every 25 acres Of the total
land area. In the farm states of the
United States there is only one sheep
or lamb to each 31S acres Of land in
farms. The British farmer raises his
sheep chiefly on forage-crop pastures
and this undoubtedly is the best way
when intensive farming Is possible
In the absence of laws which will
afford an adequate protection to the
flock master from dogs, experiments
have shown that an effective fence
can be constructed in the following
manner:
