SEARCH FOR TIN IN AMERICA

In view of the interest in an ade- quate tin supply for the United States and the discussion of the smelting of Bolivian ore on the Atlantic seabord and possibly on Puget Sound, the pub lcation by the United States Geologi- cal Survey of a special bulletin on tin mining in Alaska is opportune. It is noteworthy, too, that specimens of stream tin were collected by Survey geologists in Alaska in 1900, before this metal was known to occur in the Territory. Soon after that time pros pecting for stream tin became active, and two years later a commercial pro- duction of tin ore was made.
 The Survey was also closely identi- fled with the finding of lode deposits of tin. In 1908 two prospectors brought to Survey geologists in Alas ka some specimens of float from Lost River which they thought might be tin ore. All the specimens but one were worthless. From this one the geologists obtained tin by smelting it in teacup in their cookstove, after which both the geologists and the prospectors went to Lost River and discovered a vein of lode tin. This lode on Lost River has since been ex- tensively mined. Some of the Alas ka tin ore has been reduced at Seattle, Wash, within the last two years.
 The report just issued presents a review of other work by the Geolo- gical Survey and the reexamination of the more important deposits by Geo. ligist Henry M. Eakin.
 The total tin production for the per iod 1902-1914 amounted to 526 tons of metallic tin, valued at $3S0,000. The Alaskan tin ores have heretofore been shipped for reduction to Swan sea (Wales) and Singapore. A copy of the report Bulletin 622-B) may be obtained on application to the Direc- ton, United States Geological Survey Washington, F. C.

SiIoam Springs Man
 Gets BCak Health

John M. Roach of Siloam Springs, Ark, was long sufferer from stomach troubles and related disorders com mon in this section of the country. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe. He was congested, unhappy. nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van ished. He wrote:
 'When your trial treatment was received l was getting better on an- other treatment, so 1 deferred taking your medicine until un unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously I have had to just wear out such attacks. 1 thought this a good test. I took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and l have felt like a new man ever since."

Every great crisis has produced a great cartoonist-one who has given voice to the soul thoughts of the peo- pie. Thus, in the present war has ari- sen young man, hitherto unknown outside a limited circle, who has DOT trayed for us the meaning of tke word catastrophe. He is the Dutch artist, Louis Raemaekers of Amsterdam.
 Like Daumier, he is the master of the grewsome. You feel, also, that his heart, like that of the master car icaturist of France, breaks under the sufferings of wars innocent victims. Almost uncanny are the impressions he leaves us--Impressions of pallid faces, eyes dilated with horror, ashes and white walls, the silence and cold ness of death. Throughout all these phantasmagoric pictures there is no ray of hope, no hint of a partly ob- scured sun. Death itself stalks through the pages of his album, drinking from a cup of blood.
 Racm2ellers is the portrayer of in- sanity, of famine, of dispair. There is almost the touch O. the madman in his work. It is like laughter in hell The ghosts themselves might have stepped from the graves and swept the crayon in cold lines across his drawing manifestations Magazine.

The new minister was invited out to supper. He was bachelor, and when he helped himself to biscuits for the third time he loked across the table at the hostess little girl who was staring at him with round wondering eyes.

DRESSING HOGS ON THE FARM

It is best to keep the animal off feed for 12 to "A hours previous to butchering but allow it to drink all the water it will, as this tends to cool the body. By throwing the hog on it's back and then straddling it behind the shoulders, one hand may be used to hold the head down and the other to operate the sticking knife, which be about six inches long and sharp on both edges.
 Before sticking the animal feel for the breast bone and then cut an inch or two beyond it for distance of four inches to afford a good opening. Keep the sticking knife in the center and pointed at an angle of about 45 degrees backward and toward the back bone and thus sever the blood vessels where they spread from the chest cav ity.
 A hog which has been stunned will not bleed as well as one which has not been stunned previous to stick ing. If it is desirable to shoot the hog the best place is behind the ear.
 After the animal has been bled, scald it as soon as possible and under ordinary farm conditions a barrel placed so that it slants up to a table or bench will serve as a scalding vat.
 The water should be temperature of 165 to 175 degrees F., and any of the following substances will aid ma terially in removing dirt and scurf: A small shovel full of hard wood ash es, a hand full of soft soap, 14 to F cup of coal tar.
 To scald the hog place hog hook in the lower jaw and scald the hind part of the body first, because if the water is too hot and sets the hair this part of the body is much easier to shave. Keep the hog moving up and down in the water until the hair comes out easily and then remove the hair from the hind legs first by twisting WlUn CIle ndnuS. lne SCEdpef may De used to remove the hair from tre re- maining parts.
 The hog is then turned around and two tendons loosened in the back of the lower hind leg so that the bambol may be inserted and then proceed with the scalding as with the hind part of the body being careful to clean the ears, snout and legs as quickly as possible.
 After the rough hair and scurf has been removed throw boiling hot wa ter over the carcass and shave with the knife held flat against the body, and if two are shaving work from the extremities toward the center.
 Wash the carcass with hot water and then clean cold water and hang it up to remove the internal organs.
 When the entrails have ben re- moved wash the carcass thoroughly and allow it to drain and cool until the next day in order that all of the animal heat may be out of the carcass before it is cut up.-L. D. Humes, Col orado Agricultural College.

BULLUCH FARMERS MAKING
MONEY GROWING TRUCK

Statesboro, Ga, May &c. a.
Wilson, a Bullcch county farmer,
has demonstrated beyond doubt
that there is more than double re-
venue in truck than there is in cot
ton, Mr.. Wilson planted as aa
experiment one acre Of strawberries
and from that acre he has sold
thirty-five bushels at ~ per bushel,
netting him $40. And the thirty
five bushels does not represent what
has been gathered up to this time
for Mr.. Wilson has paid for the
gathering with berries, putting
twenty-five or thirty hands picking
berries each morning and allowing
them to gather two or three quarts
each for their services. Mr. wilson
states that he expects to sell at least
100 bushels, clearing 5000. He
brings them to Statesboro every
and the thirty-fve bushels
he has sold represents a weeks
picking. II a farmer makes a bale
Of cotton to the acre and sells it for
$50 he thinks he has made good;
and from this must be deducted the
labor, fertilizer and ginning charges
which have no effect on Mr.. Will

TEACHERS ASSISTING
FARMERS UNION

Douglas, Ga, May a., A great
many of the county school superin-
tendents, as we'll as teachers,
throughout the State, well take up
special work for the Farmers
Union during the summer vacation
months, is the statement made by
officers at the State headquarters
here, and already number have
started out to do special organizing
and instructing the people in the
principles Of the Union.
This work is peculiarly suited to
teachers and educators, Of both

tunity of earning some money as
the Union is setting aside funds to
defray expenses incurred by the
workers as we'll as renumerating
them.
The Union is calling for all respon-
sible men that it can get and as a
result a splendid agitation is mani
tested throughout the State with
prospects extremely bright for a
revival Of the Union in Georgia
and membership of $4,000 before
many months roll around.
Since the State headquarters Of the
Union were moved to this city from
Union City last January, there has
been q constant effort made to re-
vive interest in the organization,
and the State President, Hon j. j.
Brown, of Blberton, elected at the
last annual convention at Dublin,
has thrown his whole spirit into the
work and is meeting with encour-
agement on every hand Mr.. Brown
is we'll known throughout the State
and has the confidence of thousands
with whom he has come in person
al contact, and this confidence is
greatly aiding the work of building
up the Union in Georgia.
Secretary Fred Ricketson, who is
permanently located in Douglas,
will be glad to take up correspon-
denee with all who wish to enter
the work of aiding in the organiza-
ton in any section of the State,
and ne will be glad to have teachers
and educators as well as any one
else interested, write him. He will
Immediately inform them how they
can make some money working for
the Union.

COMMISSIONER PRICE URGES
FARMERS TO RAISE FOOD STUFFS

The Georgia Department Of Agri
culture considers none of its recent
efforts more valuable or important
to the individual and to the state
than that Of seeking to induce the
Georgia farmer to raise his own
food supplies at home
The establishment of its market
department and the selling Of nj.
trogen forming bacteria to the far
mers at cost, are two of the agen-
cies the department has made use
of to encourage the home growing
Of food supplies. The efforts Of the
veterinary department. and other
agencies have already been turned
in that direction.
5elieve and hope We are 60
ing to keep out Of the European
war;" said Commissioner j. D.
Price in statement issued today,
but we cannot close our eyes to
the fact that we are in greater dam
ger Of getting into a fight with
some foreign country than we have
been in many years.
If we should happen to get into
it, you are going to see the price OF
foodstuffs soar, and the man who
has his corn crib and snokehause
we'll filled will be in luck, while
his neighhor who has neglected to
prepare for it, will be dependent
on him. There is the same differ
ference between living at home and
buying abroad, as there is between
independence and dependence; it
is a question Of taking your choice.
On the other hand, il we keep
out of the war, as we all hope,
there is just as much reason for
making at home what is needed in
the way Of food for the family and
for the stock. European demand
is going to keep prices way up, and
even though we should not make
one dollars worth to sell, we'll
find at the end Of the year that the
man wko has grown his food crops
along with his cotton, is independ
ent, and the man who has not is
dependent on somebody else.
Il don't care how much cotton a
farmer raises, if he only takes care
of the food situation first. Make
enough corn and oats and hay for
the stock; enough grain and vege-

tables and meat for the family,
and you are in a position to defy
the cotton market, no matter what
does. If you haven't got a COW or
a pig, figure on getting them, and
raise food for them now. Ii three
fourths Of our Georgia farmers had
been living at home when the cot
ton crisis came last fall, there
wouldn't have been any cotton
crisis. When we make our own
foods we'll be independent, but not
until then.''

Two contentious were raised by

that there were no names of negroes
in the box in Washington county,
