birthday by letting the whole world
know what Tanlac had done for me,
said Mrs. Malinda Meaders, who is
one of Atlanta's Oldest and most high

lives at ga Stewart Ave-, but she had
gone to the home of her daughter
Mrs. Trouton, at 425 Whitehall, to
celebrate the happy occasion, and II
was here that DR., E. B. Elder called
at her resquest.
An unusual feature of the occasion
was the fact that three generations
were present to witness the signing
of this most unusual and interesting
statement-Mrs. Meaders signing a
written recital of the facts, and her
daughter and grandson, j. G. Meaders,
signing as witnesses.

100 THOUSANDTH
MARX IS PASSED
WHY'S OVERLAND OFFICIALS
WIRED THIS INFORMATION TO
PRES. J. n. WILLYS.

Special to The Herald.
TOLEDO, Ohio, March 11.-Willys-
Overland officials wired John North
WHY'S, President of that company,
who is en- route to California, that on
Monday the factory passed the hun.
dred thousandth car of the 1916
models.
This big record of a tenth of a mil
lion cars stands without a precedent
in the manufacture of cars Of this
size and type.
1t was only in 1908 that WHY'S. as
head of the Willys-Overland company,
celebrated the production of 400 cars
year as the conclusion of success
full years business.
These production figures have stead
lily risen so that you can drop out at
the Overland plant most any Saturday
morning and see them build and ship
more automobiles in Saturdays half
days work than were formerly built
and shipped in the entire year.
Shipments to date are more than
three times the volume for the same
period last year.
There are 44S recognized makers of
automobiles in the United States. Ac-
cording to estimate, they will pro-
duce upwards of a million cars during
1916. The Willys-Overland company
will build approximately 2O% of these
to the value of more than a hundred
million dollars.
This entire 1916 production Of Over
lands and Willys-Knights is sold and
under contract. Overland dealers
now number nearly 5000 in this coun-
try and Canada.

FEBRUARY ISSUE
OF SCHOOL. SIGNAL
CONTAINS MORE MATTER THAN
ANY ISSUED DURING
fHE TERM.

The February issue of The County
High School Signal, one of the best
probably yet issued, certainly it con-
tains a larger volume of reading mat
ter than any of this term, has just
come from the press of The Herald.
1t reflects credit upon the young edi-
tors, the repertorial staff and the bust
ness managers, although there is not
apparent quite the evidence Of sup
port from the business men of the
county in the advertising columns that
one would expect for so meritorious a
publication. This paper is edited and
managed entirely by the students of
the school and will compare favorably
with any similar paper in the state.

BECAUSE A HOG EATS

MADE BY FARMERS, SAYS
DR.. o'coNNoR.
CITES CASES TO PROVE n
No Use In Treating a Hog VIA
Chronic Cholera, But Those in Fin.
Stage OF the Disease Can AIno,,
Always be Saved.
(By DR.. oConnor.)

A peculiar thing noticeable among
the hog owners in this county is the
fact that, so long as hog eats, be =.

him to be a well hog, let him becoms
as poor as Jobs turkey and run dow,
till he is but a shadow, still, IL ha
eats he is a well hog. All hogs which
DO not eat are sick, however, all hogv
which eat are not we'll hogs.
The following will serve to illu..
trate to what an extent this Is so. A
few days since we were called to sas
a small herd in the northern part O,
this county, upon arriving at the farm
we found two apparently we'll sova
one mighty sick SOW and twelve yer
sick shoats, one of the latter being AZ
sick it could only get to its feet with
much difficulty, this shoat was killed
and autopsied, showing very well
marked LESSONS of chronic cholera
characterized button-like ulcers being
presented throughout the intestines
with here and there perforation, the
owner stated that this hog had been
sick but a day or SO, while we know
that to get in the condition described
1t must have been sick for at least
two weeks Inquiring further We
found that one of these hogs had al
ready died.
Now our work has been carried on
here long enough for all to know tina.
1t is useless to treat hog sick with
chronic cholera. although we freQuent
ly treat and save hogs in the first
stages of clorea, so we advised the
owner that we would treat his two
apparently we'll hogs but that as far
as the chronics we're concerned, We
could do them no good and that 40
many would get well II not treated al
would If we treated them. We wen
informed that unless we treated ali
the sick ones, we should treat none
Needless to say we returned to town
without treating any of this mans
hogs.
Since seeing this herd (three dan
ago. the sick SOW has died and in
short time without the Intervention
Of miracle) the majority Of the sick \
shoats will be dead, and directly, prc
viding they live, the two apparently
well sows win farrow litter Of pigs 4
each, and these in their turn will pick II
up the cholera, for the farm must BE- Il
pretty thoroughly infected by this
time.
II this man had allowed us to treat
his two sows he would at least have
foundation Of a herd when his place
is rid of the cholera, as it is, no one
Knows what the outcome will be.

DOLLARS

SPLENDID PROGRESS SEC

WORK IN TEAkEsSEE DIOgtsE
lie In Charge Of President Peyton OF
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railroad; Begins An Active
Campaign.
Special to The Herald

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 49,
Splendid progress has been made in
the work of the Episcopal Church to.
ward the raising Of 100000 for the
purpose of pehsioning aged ministers.
The first million dollars has just
been pledged, according. to tele-
gram just received by President Pey-
ton of the N. C. G st. L. Railway,
who has charge Of the work in Ten
nessee. The telegram from Bishop
William Lawrence of Massachusetts,
who is chairman of the committee.
The selection of Mr.. Peyton for the
work in Tennessee was at the solicit
tation of Bishop Thomas F. 'Gailor,
and the appointment was by Bishop
Lawrence. Mr.. Peyton will, within
the next few days, send out several
hundred leaflets outlining the plan Of
the committee to members of the
Episcopal church in Tennessee and to
others who may be interested In the
plan. He expresses confidence in the
ability Of the members in this do
cese to do their part in making the
plan success. The entire fund is to
be raised in the present year and in
the furtherance of this plan, Bishop
Lawrence is devoting his entire time.
J. Pierpont Morgan of New York is
treasurer of the executive committee.
There are 4,420 men in the active
service of the Episcopal Church in
the United States. In addition, there
are 1888 clergymen who are engaged
In educational, editorial or other col
lateral work, or are aged.
The average salary of minister is
$1,000 year. This is not all in cash,
either. More than $500 of these min
listers, over one-half of the total num-
Der. receive less than $1,000 a year.
Only 237, including Bishops, receive
$4,000 or over. More than 700 men are
paid less than $1,000, and many of
these are the older clergy. with very
hard tasks.
The pension plan, briefly, contem-
plates that when minister shall have
reached the age Of sixty-eight, upon
retirement from regular active work,
an annuity. will be paid him amounting
to one and one-fourth per cent of the
average annual salary multiplied by
the number of years of the receipt of
such salary, and in no case shall the
annuity exceed fifty per cent Of the
average annual salary. All annuities
will amount to at least 5000.
The plan further provides for dis
ability, at any rate, in which event
the minister shall receive during the
continuance of such disability an
amount equal to 40 per cent of the
average annual salary for the last
five years, with minimum of 5000.
The committee claims that such |
plan will enable the clergyman to give
their best efforts to the work without !
the fear Of being left destitute when
old age comes upon them. Already
forty-f1ve dioceses have formally en-
tered the fund. Aside from the vari-
GUS donations to the work, each par
ish will, in addition to. the rector's
salary, contribute an amount equal to
seven per cent of such salary, this to
be applied to the pension fund.

TIMELY FARM TALKS
BY j. E. RUFF
County Demonstration Agent

grown seed of a rust proof va
riety, if you can get them. Spring
seeded oats are inclined to smut
badly. To prevent this, put one
pound of formaldehyde to SO
gallons of water and sprinkle
with this, shoveling them over
and over to get all thoroughly
dampened with the mixture.
Spread them out to dry for a
few hours and then sow them.
It will be best to treat today the
oats that you expect to plant to-
morrow. Land that is too poor
to make other crops will not
make a profitable oat crop. Pre-
pare the soil thoroughly before
seeding. This is all the cultiva-
ton that the crop will get.
Each acre of oat land should
be planted to some leguminous
crop, such as cow peas, lespede-
"a, soy beans or Spanish peanuts.
Any of these will mature after
the oat crop.
Do not burn the corn and cot
ton stalks and the grass this
spring while preparing your
ground to plant. Fertilizers are
high and you need every bit of
the plant food that you can get.
You cannot make money farming
poor land, neither can you make
your lands rich with commercial
fertilizers. Do you know that it
will take about four dollars worth
of commercial fertilizers to re-
place the plant food that you de-
stroy when you burn an acre of
stalks? An average acre Of corn
stalks contain about 80 pounds
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. 1t would take three sacks
of the average commercial fer
tilizer to replace this. The torch
has been a curse to the southern
farm. In many sections more
plant food goes up in smoke each
spring than is taken out by the
crops. You are not only robbing
your land of plant food, but of
humus, which is just as important
as either nitrogen. phosphoric
acid or potash. Humusi can be
put into the soil only by some
form of decaying vegetable mat
ter. Cut the stalks and turn
them under. If you have no
stalk cutter get one. If not able
to buy one, some neighbor will
lend you his. l have seen many
acres of stalks cut with hoes.
This method is slow and rather
expensive, but not half so ex-
pensive as burning.
In an old report, written in
1906, DR.. Seaman Knapp gave
out for the department the fol
lowing items'sof farm economy to
be kept constantly before the
farmers:
L. Produce upon the farm all
the food necessary for the susie
nance of the men and animals
employed upon the farm.
2. Pay all current expenses
of the farm out of sundry pro.
ducts other than the cash crop.
8. Never mortgage the cash
crop. Let it result in bankable
money at the end of the season.
a. Keep as MANY domestic
animals as will utilize the waste
of the farm and profitably con-
sumo the surplus fodder ano
grain.
If you do not have a satisfac'
tory cash market for the surplus
butter and eggs / will he glad tt
assist you in the matter of estab'
fishing cream routes and egg
marketing associations. This vii
have to be done by neighborhoodi
or communities. If your commu.
nifty is interested let me know
