MANURES WILL ALWAYS
PAY FOR PROTECTION

Did you eevr notice the brown wa
ter running from n barnyard or ma
nure pile during a rain? There Is
money i'm that water. The sight is so
common that most folks do not re-
gard It seriously. But it is really n
reflection on the thrift Of the farmer,
II II a,ulways been false economy to
leave manure exposed to the weather.
Since the price II fertilizers has gone
up it is disastrous.
Manure has become correspondingly
more valuable with the scarcity Of
fertilizers. Any farmer can afford t.
protect the manures produced on his
farm. Some will say that they can not
afford to make a manure pit and build
a shed over it. Then they will 90
forthwith and buy commercial fertil-
izers.
A. p. Spencer, district agent for
the University of Florida Extension
Division. says that the teachings from
fifty loads of manure will pay for a
shed to protect It. Now there are hun
dreds Of farms which produce that
much manure I'm a year. The CONNER
cial value Of the ammonia in that ma
nurc is from 50 Oj to s. n unit. The
ammonia Is the most soluble plant
food in the manure. If the soil upon
which the manure is piled is open,
the ammonia-laden water escapes
downward. If it is compact the water
runs away to the creek. More than
half Of the fertillzng value Of manure
escapes within short time when it
is exposed to the weather.
To obtain full value from manure
it should he put in n water tight pit
ana covered. The hest farmers nave
tight sheds with n ciStern to take care
Of the liquid manure. That such prac-
tees pay is shown by the productivity
of their farms.

No one can have health who eats too

No one can have health who eats

No one can have health who eats

When you have eaten do not Won

You begin to wonder, trouble begins.
Say goodbye to IT, not expecting to
hear from it again. If you fear it, do
not eat it; if YOU eat it, do not fear

FARMERS ARE TIRED
OF HOG CHOLERA

Florida farmers are growing tired
Of hog cholera. They are beginning
to realize that they can soon lose
enough to pay for fences and sanitary
precautions that will avoid cholera.
Dr., A. II. Logan, veterinary field
agent for the United states Depart
ment Of Agriculture. who Is station
ed mt the University Of Florida, says
that the farmers are just now reach
ing the place where they want to con
troll the disease. They have seen their
profits 90 ana their herds wiped out in
a few days. They have also seen the
benefits Of prevention, fencing and
sanitation. To stop at this point
would be disastrous, and all the work
that has been done would be for moth
ing.
Interest in pure bred hogs is grow
Ing steadily. and it is not idle or spec
ulative interest. 1t is being manifest
ed in the purchase Of pure bred ami
mails. Some county agents report an
increase Of from 100 to 300 per cent.
Of pure bred hogs in their counties
within the last year. With the influx
Of better blood, cholera will decrease.
since farmers realize that they must
give better care or sustain greater
los SEES. The purebred animal can not
stand the neglect which Is accorded
native stock, and consequently they
will be fenced. This lessons the
chances of contracting cholera.

HAPPINESS.

No subject should he so interesting

We make no apology for reproducing
from the Tampa Tribune the follow
ing wholesome, helpful words on this
timely subject:

SAVE EVERY SCRAP OF PAPER

If you ever had an idea of going
into the waste paper business. now is
the time for you to begin. There is
a paper shortage. and every kind Of
paper, from wrapping paper to fine
writing paper has increased in price
tremendously. 4 rise in the price Of
paper has brought about a correspond
ing increase in the price of waste pa
per and rags of every description
Don't let a scrap Of paper Of any kind
as big rs your hand get away from
you. See whether You can't get some
waste paper. old magazines or news
papers, from your neighbors. 1t is all
worth money, and you can sell It for a
good price. You can sell paper in
small quantities to your local Junk
man. But you can usually get much
larger prices If you gather it in larg-
err amounts, bale It and sell it to large
dealers or paper mills. or to paper box
factories. If You can not locate a near
by paper mill or dealer you can us
ually find the address of one by 60
ing to your local printing office and
finding out where they sell their waste
paper. If there is a board Of trade in
your town they will supply you with
a list of dealers in paper stocks. The

THE UNITED STATES.

The United States IS the most abus-
ed nation on earth today. She is
abused 10y Germany because she has
forced her TO recognize the existing
principles Of international law, and
keep her subm rine warfare within
proper bounds, as well as her contin-
ual shipment Of munitions to the al.
lies. She is abused by the allies be-
cause she has persiSteftly refused to
be drawn into conflict that is not
Of her own calling, and because she
has endeavored to remain neutral, and
has demanded that the allies respect
the rights Of neutral trade. She is
abused by Mexico because she has UNI
dcrtaken to protect her own borders
from bandit assaults, which have re-
suited in the murder Of her own citi-
zens, even though she has looked on
for five years and patiently awaited
the efforts Of Mexico to remedy the
difficulties herself, but with no sue
cess.
Thus, while actuated by the SINGER
est and purest motives that ever actu-
ated a county I'm its dealings with its
neighbors, 1t has received probably
more abuse than has ever another
country received, so much so that it
causes one to ask the question, Is it
worth while to deal justly? No matter
how unselfish the motive is, the ac-
cusation is usually made that only
selfish motives have induced the &C
ton. The Germans say that only our
sordid desire for money has caused us
TO sell munitions to the allies,
while they for the last century have
grown rich by selling to other Euro

KNOTT MAKES
STATEMENT

Jacksonville, Aug. S.-Stat-
ing that the fight he is making
for an honest and accurate re-
count of ballots cast June & for
gubernatOrial candidates has pro-
crossed far enough TO show that
If he is elected governor the dem
Ocratic party. in Florida will be
purified of the undemOCratic eie-
ments which have beer wearing
the cloak of democracy for many
years, w. V. Knort, candidate
for governor, in a signed state
ment to the democrats Of FlOri-
da, has vigorously assailed :. j.
Cats methods in the present
contest. Mr.. Knott has not
minced words. lie handles his
opponent without gloves, and
states that if by any means Mr..
Cats is finally elected governor,
Florida will witness an admins
tration of radicalism ana disrc-
gard for law that will Guido
Biease i'm South Carolina IN his
palmiest days. or anything Flor
ida has been treated 10 since it
elected its last carpet bag COVER
nor.
Mr.. Knott appeals to tried and
true democrats of Florida, and
asks them to say which of these
results will come to pass. Mr..
Knott reiteratcs that the contest
which he is making is not undem-
ocratic, and cites the law, passed
by a democratic legislature, pro-
viding for the kind of contest he
is now engaged in. This law is
upheld by the courts, he says. and
he cites preccdents for his action,
telling how in 1876 George f.
Drew wrcsted the state from car
pet bag rule by carrying his case
to the courts.
Mr.. Knott repeatedly hits Mr..
Cats. whom he calls "the man
from Alabama" for questioning
the integrity of the Florida
courts, and asks all true demo-
crafts if they are going to permit
the man from Alabama, even be-
fore he has attained the power Of
chief executive. TO "bulldoze and
brOwbeat every county and state
official in the state into giving
him support"
Nor does Mr.. Knott overlook
the statements alleged TO have
been made 10y Mr.. Cats, in which
Mr.. Cats is alleged TO have said
If he is not declared elected gov
crnor Of Florida in the November
election, he will march to Tala-
hassec with 10000 citizens armed
with rifles and be seated in the
governors chair.
Mr.. Knott also charges that
Mr.. Cats has already started his
campaign as an Independent, as
he has not awaited the result Of
pending proceedings to secure an
accurate recount of the votes in
the counties where contests have
been instituted.

AN ANTEGOSSIP CRUSADE.

A young girl recently killed herself
in an English village. The coroners
jury. however. brought in the verdict /:
KILLED 10y idle gossip" The girl had
been guilty Of nothing actually
wrong. but "the gossip disseminated
by the women Of the village blackened
her name until she could bear the sus-
picious looks and spoken taunts no
longer. ana so she ended her life"
The event caused an anti-gossip cru
SADIE. an account Of which appears in
pcarSons' Weekly Gondonl:
- society has been formed and
rules drawn up. The entrance fee has
been fixed AT a nominal sum. because
the society desired to embrace all
classes. both rich and poor. our rich
or women are just as adept at robhing
others Of their character as are the
women Of the working classes who
chat with each other from their re-
spective doorSteps.
The organizers are quite hopeful
Of minimizing the number Of gossipS.
because they are convinced that the
worst offenders talk scandal more
from a matter Of habit than through
any really malicious desire to injure
another.
Members must take n vow to avoid
either starting or spreading any I'M
Kind remarks about any one else, nor
will they listen to a person who tries
10 tell them. To repeat what they
have heard, even if known to be true,
is equally as bad as to set the hall
rolling. For the first ten breaches Of
this law fine is imposed. graduating
from a shilling up to the maximum
fine Of ten shllings. After ten slips
the women are to be blackballed as
incurables.
"If we pick up mud and throw it at
a fashionably dressed lady and spoil
her clothes, she can get redress
through the law; no well brought-up
woman. however even dreams Of
throwing mud at her friends.
IF on the other hand, we imagine
that she is too Eighty in her behavior,
and, I'm order to strengthen our belief,
we repeat her her trivial little indis-
Greet actions, we are finging mud at
her character. and she can get no re-
dress unless it should happen to in
terfere with the earning of her live
lihood, or can be proevd a malicious
act.
"Idle gossip does more harm than
anything else in the world, and if the
organizers of the anti-gossip crusade
have only the perseverance and cour-
age to make it universal, they will do
inestimable good for the general hap
piness of the community.
Charity, like all else should begin
at home, and those who can not join
the crusade should begin in their own
family circle and resolve not even 10
