MRS. LUIZA WISDOM

Mrs. Luiza Wisdom, age 9l, died at her home near White Oak last Sunday. She had been living alone for a number of years and was alone at the time of her death.
 When her body was found it was laying before an open fire and her clothing was burning. From the position of the body it was supposed that she had died from a disease of which she was a constant sufferer, before her clothing had caught afre.

DISPOSE OF DEAD ANIMALS

Often when animals die on the farm no disposal is made of their carcasses other than to drag them into a field or a nearby woods, where they are left on the surface of the ground to de- compose or to be eaten by buz- zards, crows, dogs, and other scavengers, or animals which feed on carrion.
 This practice cannot be too severely condemned. because it contributes seriously to the dis semination of disease germs and the perpetuation of insectious diseases.
 The carcasses of animals which have succumbed to infec- tious diseases like anthrax, hog cholera, blackleg, tuberculosis, etc., are charged with myriads of virulent disease germs, and just as long as they remain where scavengers can reach l them and portions of them car ried away promisculously, they are a menace over a large terri tory to all animals which are liable to be attacked by disease germs. Even carcasses of ani mals which have died from other causes than infectious diseases unless they are disposed of ir the proper way, are source o1 danger. Left on the surface o1 the ground their odor soon in vites scavengers to congregate and to bring with them the in fectious material with which they may have become contami mated by eating carrion else where.
 Dead animals on the farm should be buried deep enough tt prevent them from being dug up again, or they should bt burned. To burn large car casses like those of dead horse. and cattle is difficult and labor ious and requires a large quanti ty of fuel. In most instances i is more economical to bury them All animals which have died o1 infectious diseases and art buried should be covered with a heavy layer of lime before the

graves are closed.
 In the winter. when the ground is frozen. it is more difficult to dig graves than at other seasons of the year, but it is just in cold weather that disease germs remain alive and virulent longest in dead organic manner and that scavengers travel the longest distances, have the best appetite, and are most likelyato carry disease germs on and in their bodies. The extra trouble of digging graves in the winter is easily offset by the greater danger it counteracts. Low temperature prevents the multiplication of disease germs. but many kinds

 Everywhere farmers not only should attend to the proper and safe disposal of the bodies of their own animals which unfor- tunately die, but they should insist on the proper disposal of the bodies of all animals which die anywhere in the regions in which their farms are located.

New York, December 9.-More than 3Oo frantic floor members of the New York stock exchange gathered on successive days this week in the crowd that assem- bles regularly in one corner of the biz room to arrange with representatives or big Wall street banks for call loans. First per cent was bid by the brok- CTS for renewals of overnight banking accommodation compared with the renew al rate of ? per cent paid only few days ago. Not being able to obtain call money at per cent the excited brokers bid per cent; then 1; then &; and then g, and on up to 15 per cent Without call money the stock broker is like fish hlgh and dry on land; he cannot breathe.
 When call money touched 15 per cent this week, the highest since the federal reserve law became effective, many peo- pie all over the country shook their heads wisely and passed such remarks as: "rhe federal reserve system has broken down." or 'the money power in Wall street wins or regardless of laws and system, capital will go where 1t will earn the highest interest rate
 When stock exchange brokers were fighting desperately this week for over night banking accommodation forcing the interest rate on call loans to high levels which even many Wall street people never again expected to see, one excited stock exchange member relieved his mind by exclaiming: "Governor Strong of the Federal Reserve bank was talking through his hat when, in opening his bank, exactly two years ago, he told us: Panic has already been erased from the bankers lexicon" That same idea in diff ferent words was widely expressed this week. However, it was far from the truth. That theory is as wrong as wrong can be. It is true that there was a real panic in Wall street this week. But it was only in money, not in stocks. It was short-lived, and, thanks to the federal reserve system, no one was hurt but over-extended spectators.
 To begin at the beginning, to man or woman who speculates in stocks in Wall street starts by going to broker, here or at any other town or city, with an order to buy, say 100 shares of United States Steel on a margin. Selling in the open market at 125 100 shares of Steel is worth exactly $12,500. But the speculator puts up with his broker, cash amounting to only S2uUO, that IS, ~ pollts margin The balance, $10,500, is borrowed by the broker from his Wall street bank on a call loans. that is 8 day to day loan, with the actual certificate for 100 shares of Steel put up as collateral
 That is the way the stock business is and always has been carried on in Wall street. Back in the old days, that is be- fore the federal reserve system went into effect, November 16, 1914, every once in so often, between crop planting and corn moving seasons, idle money would
 pile up in interior banks until 1t became a drug on the market. Unable to earn it's keep at home, idle money would be forwarded by the interior banks, includ- ing part of the surplus reserve required by law, to New York to be employed by some New York bank which acted as cor respondent. in the call money market at hfeher interest rates than could, be earn

wheat side by side on a farm In Beauco. Instead of the gold braided uniform, the porter with his fellow prisoners wore a sui, of blue overalls with the letters l. c. (standing for interned civilian) on their backs to identify them as Teutons in case of a disposition to escape. They earned the equivalent of 45 cents a day and were clothed, lodged and fed by the farmer Their fare was exactly the same as that of the farmers hiring them and of the soldiers guarding them. That they were satisfied appears from the fact that, out of several thousand, only three of them tried to get away.
 The several thousand German soldiers employed in the harvest gave no trouble at all. To the great majority of them French farm life was a revelation and a satisfaction that found expression in fre- quent inquiries as to whether there was any prospect that they might be allowed to establish themselves in France after che war.
 Not all of these improvised farm hands make good harvesters, though they did the best they could.
 After all it was the American self binder that saved the harvest; without 1t much of the brave effort of the women of France would have been lost. Every machine was utilized to it's utmost ca pacity. In communities where there were none and where the farmers could not afford to buy one, the commune pro- cured a machine for the common use of the farmers in turn.
 Traction blows aided only slightly in tho preparation of the soil. It is the rec ognized necessity of the future, but the outlay required is too much for the small farmer. Further organization of syndi- cates for the purchase of machines in common is necessary.
 The elephants of we'll known circus played the leading role in an experiment at Lavilledieu-du Temple, near Castel- Sarrazin, which the people of the region confidently expect will revolutionize farming. Hitched to a blow, these ami mas replaced the horses and oxen that were requisitioned by the army. and proved by the regularity of their gait to be far superior to either the horse or OK; each animal did the work of three yoke of oxen whether they ate more than six times as much the reports do not tell. It is only the meridional imagination of the region, however, that contemplates the practical extension to France of the working elephant.

FRENCH WOMEN PROVING HERO|NES
 IN GREAT CONFLICT
Peasant Wives, Mothers and Sisters Are Making Crops to Feed Armies in
 Trenches

Moret-Sur-Loing, Seine ct Marne, France November -(Correspondence of the Associated Press ,)--Among the war recompenses that will be handed down with greatest pride from generation to generation in French families are the di- plomas, now framed and hanging on the walls of many farmhouse, attesting how the peasant women and farmers wives, widows and daughters overcome war diff ficulties., The soil has well repaid the effort and, thanks to them, France is sure of another year of ample living.
 The actual cash returns will equal record year in time of peace, though, excepting oats and potatoes, the yield was below the average.
 This country of the Erie, which Is gen. erally second only to the Beauce in wheat production, and first of all for oats, stands at the head for both, yet this crop was sown almost entirely by won- en- girls and boys too young or women too old to shoulder rifle. There is a good example of what was done on a little farm just outside the shade of the forest of Fountainebleau at Villemer, where, in modest farmhouse hang the framed diplomas accorded by the Syn dicat Central des Agricultuers de France Central Union of French Farmers) in the names of Madame Beaujouan and her daughters Raymonde. aged F. and Jeanne. aged IA.
 Beaujouan was nobilized while the grain was still standing in 1914; Madame Beaujouan and her daughters have har- vested three crops from that farm since. The third is the best of the three, for they Hacked the twist Of the wrist" as Jeanne Beaujouan puts it, until they had had the experience of two crops,
 They are proud of thecrop for the crops sake. but they don't seem to be aware of the remarkable effort it required of them to do the fertilizing, blowing, har- rowing, seeding and harvesting. When. one talks to them about it. they tell him to go and see the crop that Mademoiselle Marthe Bon Feve got from 70-acre farm at Serrigny- en- Bresse. which promises to constitute the record for girl farming dur ing the war when the yield is finally measured.
