ROAD LEyIEs NECESSARY

In order to protect the good roads
interests of a county it is practically
necessary, says the Ohio Good Roads
Federation in a bulletin which has
Just been issued to county officials,
for the board of county commissioners
to provide three distinct county road
levies. This is due to the rather
peculiar provisions of the Cass High
way Law, founded upon the sugges-
tion that construction and maintenance
be kept separate and apart.
If any of the three levies are neg
lected it may cause trouble in CO.
operating with the State Highway
Department in maintenance and re-
pair or roads. This does not neces-
sarily mean that the county's levies
must be large but that three distinct
funds must be created. There are
two levies which are strictly county
affairs but a third is that which fur
nishes the funds for the county to
cooperate with the state.
For the purpose of paying the
county's share of the cost of con-
structing, improving, maintaining,
dragging and repairing roads by the
county commissioners levies may be
made under Section los of the Cass
Law, which is known as Section 1926
of the General Code. The commits
sioners may also levy under Section
23S of the Cass Law, known as Sec
ton 6956-1 of the General Code.
While levies may be made under both
sections, it is mandatory to raise a
maintenance fund of at least $40 a
mile.
Under Section 215 of the Cass Law,
or Section 1922 of the General Code,
the levy is made to enable the county
to cooperate with the state. The
safest plan for the counties is to avail
themselves of the power given by all
three sections, says the Good Roads
Federation in urging that the next
years road program be the greatest
in the history of the state.

HOT WEATHER RULES
Load lightly, and drive slowly
StOD in the shade if nossihla

3. Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as horse is work
ing, water in small quantities will
not hurt him. But let him drink only
a few swallows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him at
night after he has eaten his hay.
A. When he comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock. Wash his feet but not
his legs.
5. If the thermometer is rs de-
grees or higher, wipe him all over
with a damp sponge. Use vinegar if
him.
6. Saturday night, give a bran
mash, lukeAarm; and add a table
spoonful of saltpetre.
Z. Do not use horse-hat, unless
it is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary
bell-shaped hat does more harm than
good.
s. A sponge on top of the head,
or even cloth, is good if kept wet
If dry it is worse than nothing.
9. If the horse is overcome by
heat, get him into the shade, remove
harness and bride, wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over, shower
his legs, and give him two ounces of
aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two
ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a
pint of water; or give him a pint of
coffee warm. Cool his head at once,
using cold water, or, if necessary,
chopped ice, wrapped in cloth.
10. If the horse is off his feed, try
him with two quarts of oats mixed
with bran, and little water; and add
a little salt or sugar. Or give him
oatmeal cruel or barley water to
drink.
II. Watch your horse. It he stops
sweating suddenly, or if he ,breathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop
or if he stands with his legs braced
sideways, he is in danger of a heat
or sun stroke and needs attention at
once.
12. If it is so hot that the horse
sweats in the stable at night, tie him
outside, with bedding under him. I'm
less he cools off during the night, he
cannot well stand the next days heat

FOURTH OF JULY TErANUs

Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths
in the United States from Fourth of
July tetanus, this figure representing
about the average annual mortality.
In 1914, as result of the institution
of batter prohylactic treatment by
physicians and the widespread agita-
ton for a safe and sane Fourth, the
number was reduced to 8. A year
ago the IT. S. Public Health Service
expected and predicted that every
be safe from this disease, basing its
accomplished. When the returns came
in it was found that boy down in
Maine had been injured, developed te-
tanus and, died. That single fatality
was only one among severa hundred
thousand occurring in the United States
during 1915 but it resulted from
Fourth of July tetanus or lockjaw, a
preventable disease, and was there
fore an unnecessary death. The loss
OF this boy makes it necessary to
again disseminate information regard
ing this wholly avoidable infection.
The blank cartridge wound is the
great cause of Fourth of July tetanus,
but injuries from crackers and fire.
arms are at times responsible. When
driven into the tissues the wadding
carries with it innumerable bacilli. If
these be tetanus bacili the poisonous
products or toxins resulting from
their, multiplication produce the dis
ease. Tetanus bacili thrive only in
the absence of oxygen. 1t is for this
reason that the physician enlarges the
wound Of entrance and after removing
all foreign material dresses the in
jury in such a manner that develop
mept of the organisms is inhibited. In
order to accomplish this it is usually
necessary to administer an anasethetic
Antitetanic serum is of great value
as prophylactic and it should in
variably be given in injuries of this
character.
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prevent but
extremely difficult to cure, the dis
ease being attended with a mortality
of more than 95 per cent. No blank
cartridge wound is too trivial to re-
ceive careful medical attention. How
ever slight the injury may appear
summon competent physician who
will at once institute the necessary
propylatic measures. Reliance upon
home treatment may prove disastrous
and result in the needless sacrifice of
life.

SEED WHEAT.

Selections of wheat varieties that
have been especially promising in
yield, stiffness of straw and baking
qualities, have been developed at the
Ohio Experiment Station for many
years and will be offered to farmers
in the State at nominal cost for
seeding this fall. These selections in
clude some from Gypsy, Poole, Fultz
and other standard varieties. Re-
quests from them should be addressed
to the Experiment Station a tWoos-
ter.
Farmers receiving this wheat are
expected to report yields from it and
from their own variety seeded at the
same rate and on equal area as that
received from the Station.
