WHAT ACTION WILL LEGISLATURE TAKE
 TO STAMP OUT EVILS
 OF THE FEE SYSTEM? !?
(Continued from Page One)

there is a doubt but that this legis- lature can enact a salary bill applic- able to all officeholders of Jefferson county. However, l do not believe that it is the sentiment of the people of Jefferson county that we make such a bill applicable save to officials who might achieve office in the fu- ture."
 Mir. Scott. Tt is my opinion that all officials may be constitutionally put on a salary basis. However. I do not believe that the people want us so to effect present officeholders-only officeholders of the future."
 Mir Hogan: "I have been so busy, with other subjects. that l have not had an opportunity to give this subject the careful attention that it deserves"
 Views Vary Still
 Mir Shapiro; Tt is my opinion that the amendment is so worded that this legislature or any other legislature could legally change the basis of remuneration of Jefferson county or fcials, not only those elected since the submission of the amendment, but all of them.'
 MT. Copeland: Tt is, in my judg- ment the sentiment of the delegation
  ton of officials of the present, in other words, not to make the amendment effective prior to the beginning of the terms of officials to be chosen in the future."
 MT. Welch: 'I do not think that we can constitutionally put the antifee amendment into effect during the terms of present officeholders; or rather, we cannot effect the pay of of- ficals during the terms for which they were elected and have qualified"
 MT. Tarrant. "I believe that this legislature can constitutionally put present officials on salaries. I do not believe however that we should change the basis of remuneration of those officials who were elected prior to the submission of the amendment. Others, however, ran for office in full knowledge of what was probable. It would be proper, therefore, in my opinion, for us to deal with them. feel this. although some of the recent ly elected officials are among my best friends

That is the strongest testimonial l can give as to it's use
 Why People Oppose Peruna
 Some good men may oppose Peruna. This may be true. Men may differ on any important subject, why not as TO the val ue of Peruna?
 But it is safe to say that the men who oppose Peruna are the men who know least about it. Who can find man who has honestly used Peruna for some ail- ment and because of his disa ppointment is opposing Peruna? There is probably no such man. The men who oppose Peruna are doing it purely theoretical grounds. The men who have used Pe- rlna believe in it and recommend it to tteir neighbors.
 Creditable Testimony
 These men would not say such things if they were not true. Their statements are absolutely unselfish. No possible gain can come to them except the conscious ness that they are helping others. Years have passed since these cures were made. They still stand by what they have said. No one can get by such evidence. Pe- runa is all they say it is. a tonic that fortifies the system against colds, coughs, catarrh and all the many exhaIsting in- fluences of modern business.

In winter they must of necessity be
cooped up much of the time, and If
their feet are not attended to regularly

develop. Then there is always the risk
of accident-being kicked by some
other horse or hooked by the cattle, in
terfered with in some way owing to
the close quarters Of farm stabling III
winter time.
From the start give the foal as much
liberty as possible. Make him the
honOred guest Of the entire farm prem
ises. Never coop him up in some dirty.
foul smelling box stall, but let him run
and steal and thieve whatever grain
and hay he chooses. The pick he eats
will never be missed from the general
store, but it will make all the differ
ence In the world to him. Never be
afraid to let the fall colt run outside
in good weather, no matter how cold
1t may be. SO long as he is couple
Of months old and his back is kept dry
he will stand as much low temperature
as his dam-maybe more. On general
principles. however, give him the
most comfortable quarters available
and feed the mare so as to encourage
the utmost flow Of milk of which she
is capable.
/ don't like silage for horses. but
rutabagas or white turnips or sugar
or stock beets, boiled or raw, are help
full In enabling the dam to give good
flow Of milk. If there is any sweet
cows milk, whole or separated, avail
able after the foal is month old. give
him q drink of that once or twice
day-not bucketful at a time but
couple Of quarts two or three times
day. Let him have free access to all
the grain apd choice rOughage he needs
and he'll make horse of himself.

SiIaue Unsafe For Bulls.

Heavy feeding of silage to a bull at
service is not desirable and may render
him impotent. says Hoard's Dairyman.
Some breeders will not feed silage un-
der any conditions, but probably the
majority will feed it in limited quanti-
ties together with all the alfalfa or clo-
ven hay the bull will consume. To sup
plement this roughage sufficient grain
is fed to keep the bull in good service

careful feeding and plenty Of exercise
are the fundamental requirements In
keeping a bull i'm good service condi-

Do not turn COWS out to remain and
suffer in cold, stormy weather.
Allow them to have water which is
not colder than that from a deep well
twice or three times daily.
Brush cows daily If you can possibly
find the time. for it pays better than
does grooming Of horses. which, as a
rule, is not neglected.
Keep cows in clean, well lighted,
properly ventilated stables.
Treat cows gently and avoid excite
ment.
Weigh the milk of each cow at milk

Get your neighbors to share with you
in owning a Babcock milk tester and
test the milk Of each COW.
Discard the cow which has failed at
the end Of the year to pay market price
for all the feed she has consumed.
Give cows six to eight weekf' rest
