society undertook to change its plan
and rates of assessments as TO its
Glass 4 members: that it pretended
to put in force such pretended rates
operative till such members attain
the age of so years at the last afore-
said rates; but pretended to make a So
called valuation Of said certificates of
its members on the plan Of the So
called 'Fraternal Congress estimate
or table of life expectancy and table
OF rates adequate to pay benefits or
life insurance on such basis but in
fact much higher than such Fraternai
Congress plan" 1t is charged that
the society attempted to set aside from
its reserve fund sums sufficient to
meet and pay the difference between
the old assessment of Glass a mem
bers and the rates under the new plan.
1t is further provided that Class A
members at the age of so be assessed
on step rate plan. The bill charges
that the old rates if properly extend
ed. would be entirely adequate; that
the society has unlawfully accumu-
lated from past assessments of Glass A
members a reserve fund Of nearly
So 900 900 which is being used for 9th
er purposes than to pay benefits The
bill shows that in 1914 society discon-
tinued issuing its socalled Glass A
certificates thereby rendering Glass A
members a closed or dead society,
that Notwithstanding this, Class A
members annually pay into the society
more than 100000 for its expenses in
writing up new business
The course taken by head officers o.
the society is called most unwise, in
discreet, unnecessary, eXtrayagant,
reckless and illegal" and the complain
ants ask an injunction to prevent
further needless expenditure OF Glass
A members funds and from putting in
to effect its new rates of assessments.

THE COSTLY CATTLE TICK


those cattlenaen out in Kansas do not
let any cattle ticks live on their
stock.
81 heard of Missouri farmer who
bought bunch of beef calves from
his neighbor and fed them cotton
seed meal, corn silage and some
ground corn, from weaving time IN
til they were yearlings when 40 of
them averaged go pounds each and
brought the top market price the
day they were sold in St Louis.
fFSone calves are born lucky but
Florida calves seem to be born to
raise ticks all of their lives and J
guess that there is not much OF fu-
ture for me-.
Low Price For Ticky Cattle.
eff I live long enough ] may weigh
as much as $50 pounds, and then my
owner viii sell me to the packers for
about three-ffths of what tick-free
stock brings, and when I walk into
the killing room the boss will say:
Here comes another of those Florida
ticky steers; don't waste much time
getting the hide off of him as it is
full of tick holes and not very valu-
able So I win die in disgrace and
what little meat there is on my bones
will be sold TO restaurant where
hungry people want lot of chewing
for their thirty cents worth of din
ner."
This steer had the right infornla-
ton about the low price obtainable
for ticky Florida cattle as 14S head
of three year old steers averaged 622
pounds each on the East st. Louis
market on July 18th of this year, and
brought $40 per hundred weight.
The same price was paid for a lot
of 40 head which averaged $50
pounds. But 81 head which averaged
only 400 pounds each brought only
$50 per hundred weight, and a
mixed lot of stock numbering 132
head which averaged APO pounds
brought only $40 per hundred
pounds.
On the same market that day 16
head of yearling grade steers from
the corn belt, averaging 922 pounds
each, brought $40 per hundred
pounds, which totaled almost as
much money as the IS head of ticky
best grade Florida steers brought
Eradicate the ticks and give the
cattle a chance to make you more
money.

pounds brought SO a hundred. A
drove of mixed steers and heifers av-
eraging 625 brought $9.75, and mixed
cows and heifers brought 1878. These
prices per hundred pounds are al
most as much as a whole range steer
brings at two or three years old
when he is raised for feeder. Mr..
Hurdles animals were long yearlings.
A number of factors contributed to
make these steers break the market
record for southern cattle. First
among these was the man who be-
ieved in the things which go to
make good cattle; second they were
produced in tick free area; third,
they were we'll born; fourth, they re-
ceived plenty of good feed.
Citrus Trees Need Fall Application
of Ammonia.
Citrus trees should have fall ap-
phcation of ammonia. In most cases
the ammonia has been depleted The
tree has not only used large quanti-
ties to make moilage and fruit, but
the bacteria which convert insoluble
ammonia compounds to soluble have
been active during summer. These
organisms find the moist warm
weather particularly favorable to ac-
tivity and they have consequently
been iberating more ammonia thar
the trees could use.
The soluble ammonia, that which
the tree can use, has almost all been
washed away. 1t Is probable that
there is not enough ammonia in most
citrus soils to continue normal de-
velopment of the trees and to riper
the fruit
B. F. Floyd, plant Psychologist tc
the University of Florida Experiment
Station, recommends that an applica-
ton of nitrate of soda or sulfate Oh
ammonia be made to replace the am
monia that has been learched out OF
the soil. This application should be
made during early September OF
early enough that the trees may re-
cover from the stimulating effect OF
the fertilizer before the fruit begins
! to mature.
Hog Feeders Should vaccinat,
Cholera.
Many farmers raise more feed thar
their hogs can harvest. These farm
ers have been in the habit of buying
hogs from surrounding communitieI
to pasture their surplus, corn, pea
nuts, and develop beans. Cholera il
frequently introduced with the hogs
Hogs purchased for feeding SHOULD
be vaccinated. 1t would be well to keel
the new hogs in quarantine a while
to see whether they develop the dis
ease. The greatest danger of intro
ducing cholera is from hogs picked
up around towns where there is OF
ordinance against stock running a
large. Such animals have ampl,
opportunity to contract the diseast
from other hogs or from railway
equipment.

Florida hay dealers do not want
small bales. The customary size has
been from SC. to so pounds. From
81 to 81 a ton less is paid for small
bales than for larger sizes.
Freight rates are responsible for
this discrimination. Railroads charge
for a minimum load for each car. L
the bales are light the load will be
somewhat under the minimum, but
freight is charged for the full load.
Dealers must pay this freight and
they shift it on to the farmer by re-
ducing the price. If the bales were
increased the full load could be ship
ped for the same money. A car will
hold only certain number of bales.
If these bales weigh 1900 pounds
and the freight is charged at the
rate Of 10000 pounds there is a loss
of freight on two tone.
Bales can easily be made heavier
by Tightening the press or by elinni-
mating the extra block which is fire.
quently used to make the bales small
The heavier bale will not only save
freight, but it will also save wire and
facilitate handling It is possible also
that It will reduce labor expenses
since more tons can be baled in q
given time.
Shade Helps Produce Early FaI
Vegetables.
Seedlings are hard to produce dur.
ing summer because the soil become:
so warm and because moisture is de-
ficient. Of coure there is usually
plenty of rain during summer but oc
casionally several days of dry
weathG1 occur. This gives the sol
time to dry two or three inches. Al
a result the soil dries below the
roots of the small plants and they
die.
Moisture can be controlled and the
plants be brought through spells By
shading and watering.
Plants for early cabbage and let
tuce can be produced this way.
half shade such as is used for tobac
co can be placed over the bed and i
can be watered occasionally. TIL,
plants can thus be kept growing un
I'll they become established. BY thii
method plants can be had severa
weeks earlier than they can if seed
arc not sown until later.
CornbeIt Prices Paid For Southern
Cattle.
A story which originated in a Chi
cago livestock journal is making th,
rounds Of a number of newspaper,
IN the state It seems that w. b
Hurdle, a Mississippi livestock maj
went to Chicago and obtained corn
belt prices for steers. According t,
the National Livestock Reporter, Mr.
Hurdle is a breeder of Angus cattle
but the animals which he sold were
out Of common Mississippi COWS
which had been bred to pure-brec
bulls.
