TO PURIFY DRINKING WATER
More or Less Danger from Typhoid
Fever and Dysentery in Using
Water From bitches.

By w. G. SOCKET. Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Wherever ditch water is used for
drinking purposes it's use is always
attended with more or less danger
from typhoid fever and dysentery. This
risk can be considerably reduced by
treating the water with hypochl0rite
Of lime or bleaching powder. which
can be purchased IL one-pound sealed
packages from any dug store for about
20 cents per pound. Water IN eisterns
may be treated as follows:
For 5000 gallons place one ounce OF
tho bleaching powder (so-called chic
ride of lime') in a vessel containing
approximately two gallons of water;
stir rapidly for about one minute; al
low II to stand fer five minutes SO
that the insoluble part of the lime viii
settle to the bottom; pour the solution
into the cistern containing the ditch
water, and by means OF long paddle
stir vigorously so as to mix the hypo
chlorite OF lime thoroughly with the
water. After 80 minutes the water may
be used.

YOUNG STEERS FOR FEEDING
Two-Year-olds Make Best Feeders for
Average Farmer - Neighbors
Ought to Wer% Together.

It is highly important that the
young steers selected for feeding are
of the right sort. With the present
prices of feedstuffs and labor, econ
omy is necessary to eliminate loss and
waste if the feeding operations are
to be profitable.
Scrub feeding cattle are rapidly be-
coming a thing of the past. 1t is
money out of the pocket to put good
ICED into a "robber" steer. The pres
INT demand is for feeds of high quail
y. A steer with a low, blocky, wide,
round body, with short legs and wide

read, a large roOmy middle, showing
nipple room for consumption of large
Quantities OF food and with fine thick
soft hair has every indication of being

Two-year-olds make the best feeders
or the average farmer Such cattle
AN seldom be beaten when it comes
o rapid and economical profits.
Three-year-olds, provided they be pur-
chased reasonably, are sometimes
used to advantage but as a rule two
ycar-olds make more rapid gains than
10 the older ones. In selecting feed
ing steers it should be kept in mind
that a uniform lot of cattle always
takes tie eye of the buyer and sells
ct 4 fancy price. Thus, you see the
necessity Of feeding steers Of like
shape, color and breed. To secure
this kind Of steers purebred beef
males should be used. Neiglbors in
a corn, beef and hog district ought to
cooperate and follow similar lines, if
best results are to be secured.
After selecting the right sort of
steers for feeding purposes the next
point is, to feed them off as quickly
as possible.

MORE SHEEP NEEDED
Industry Not as Attractive Here
as in Australia.
Department Of Agriculture Just Com
pleted an investigation, Results
of Which Are published In
Recent Bulletin.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
More and larger 1ocks of sheep are
necessary to the full development OF
profitable agriculture in the middle
and eastern states Under present
conditions sheep raising in this coun-
try has not proved as attractive as
in Australia and New Zealand, and in
consequence the department of agri-
culture has recently conducted an in
vestigation, the results of which have
Just been published in Bulletin S13,
into the basic principles of the in
dustry in those countries.
In New Zealand, says this bulletin,
sheep raising is conducted on lines
midway between those followed IN
our farming states and those in the
range states. In Australia the sheep
industry is, in the main. what would
be called in America a range propo-
sition." With a total land area of
a little more than the state of Wyo-
ming, New Zealand has about 24,500,-
600 sheep as against 100000 in Wyo-
ming. The average size of the New
Zealand flock is now 1,124 and seven
eighths of the sheep are in fiocks OF
more than 500 head each. In 'Wyo-
ming the average size of the flock is
nearly 5000 head. From one to eight

Tho greatest di~ore7co Of all, how

to be found fl the handling OF the

only about one-half of the amount
which the grower expends in prepar-
ing his wool for market. He himself
divides the clip into various lots, and
the grading is done with uniformity
and e1actness. Overclassing, however,
is avoided. In one Queensland shed
10000 two-yoar-od wethers were
shorn and the clip divided into II

made, but this is probably an instance
OF overclassing.
Despite the expense that this prac-
tice involves, the Australian is firm
ly convinced that he realizes more for
his wool by selling it in such a mum

aad can buy that wool alone. An addi
tional advantage is the opportunity
that this system allows of enabling the
grower to determine the profit that he
makes from each particular type OF

of 1914, do you think that it is
economy to raise the freight rates?
What do you say, Mr.. Merchant,
Farmer, Laborer, etc., etc? If you
say that the freight rates should not
be revised upward, go before the
Railroad Commission on August
18th, 1916, and submit your protest
in person, or write them your views
in a personal letter, for that is the
date that the hearing is to begin.
Now, Mr. Freight-payer, get out your
pencil and paper and figure just
what one, two or three per cent
raise on the amount above referred
to would amount to- and you will
very readily see how easy it would
be to raise the freight rates to such
an extent that it would cost us freight

from freight receipts, but | presume
that the revenue from freight is the
chief one.

We think not, at least in a general
way.
There was a freight rates hearing
to have been before the Georgia Rail
road Commission June 21st, 1916,
but has been postponed until August
18th, 1916. Farmer, merchant, la
borer, do you know that statistics
show that in the year ending June
Goth, 1914, that the gross earnings
of the Railroads of Georgia were
fifty-three million dollars, and of this
amount the net earnings was thir-
teen million dollars? This was in
that long-to-be- remembered year of
1914, the year the European war
broke out, and the money Kings used
the war cry as a bug-a-bOO to get our
cotton, the chief product of our soil,
for nothing; it was in that year that
the price Of practically everything
scared upward, except cotton, and as
we people in Georgia are practically
dependent upon cotton, the result was
that the farmers and merchants Of
the State were trailing in the dust
of humiliation, financially speaking.
