ty, said book or books to be kept up
by clerk or county commissioners.
We further recommend that the
county commissioners have the pub
lie roads in Williamson's Mill Dis
triet repaired and especially call their
attention to the road known as the
Sibbic road from the river to Salem
Crossing Portions OF said road are
now almost impossible and in dan
gerous condition. Also call their at
tention to repairs needed on bridge
owned by Ben Hill county and Tur-
ner county. This needs their atten-
ton at once.
We also recommend that the road
known as the White road beginning at
the Fitzgerald and Rebecca road near

TO w. B, Whites residence, be cut
out and put in passable condition, the
same being the r. F. D. Route No.

We also recommend that the school
roads leaving the Rebecca and Fitz-
gerald road near Geo. williamson s
residence to Rebecca bringing the
main road near public school. This
road is especially needed for scholars
attending this school.
We further recommend that the
county commissioners make no more
new roads except r. F. D. roads and
roads leading to public schools, and
that they use the county gang in re-
pairing all main travelled roads in the
county for the next twelve months.
We wish to especially call atten-
ton to the County Commissioners

, to country cross roads. Some Of these
approaches are in dangerous condi-

Committee On Public Buildings

10 the Foreman OF the Grand Jury:
Gentleman: We your committee
appointed to examine the Jail and
courthouse beg to submit the follow
ing:
We find the Jail in bad condition in
plumbing way, there being several
leaky faucets, thereby causing a
greater amount OF water used than
is necessary, and the same should be
repaired.
We find the Jail steps in bad con-
dition and by all means should be at
tended to. We find the window
screens in bad condition, some being
entirely torn out, the same should be
repaired We also find that. the roof
is in need of paint, there being several
leaks in the building.
We find the court house is in fair
ly good condition with the exception
of the walls, and windows, there are
several minor repairs that are verv
much needed at this time, the same
being done now will save the county
a good many dollars.
We further find that the toilet is not
being properly looked after, that the
faucets are all teaky and water run
ming at all times.
We also find that there are no
broomS in the courthouse and would
advise that same be supplied with
good brooms and that the same be
used in cleaning up the various rooms.
We also recommend that the county
commissioners purchase some good
grade of disinfectant, and see that the
same is very freely used in the Java
tory and toilets.

PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE
Swine Plague Be Recognized in
Very Incipient Stages.

1t Is very necessary that we recog-
nize hog cholera and swine plague in
the very early stages in order to pre-
vent them from spreading. In some
outbreaks the symptoms are not typi-
cal and we cannot diagnose the disease
by the symptoms alone. In such cases
we should destroy sick hog and make
careful post-mortem examination.
If the disease proves to be hog chol-
era or swine plague, and 1t is practical
under the conditions, the herd should
be divided into small punches. The
sick animals should be separated from
the we'll ones and all possible precau-
tons taken against the spread Of the
disease.
Do not move the hogs to different
parts Of the farm, nor scatter the dis
ease over the farm. II the yards and
hog houses are In such a condition
that they cannot be properly cleaned
and disinfected. we should move the
herd to some convene,
build temporary quarters.
When the weather is warm the only
protection needed is shade. In cold
weather it is necessary to provide

OF The DAIRY COW

The F. Rassmann Manufacturing

by no means manufacture only water
bowls. This company manufactures a
complete line of modern sanitary dairy
barn equipment-steel stalls, steel
stanchions, steel pens, litter carriers,
feed carriers and supplies-fully COW
cred by their own patents.
There is nothing that has added
more to the comfort of the dairy COW
and the profits of the dairyman than
Simplex Modern Sanitary, Steel Dairy
Barn Equipment. 1t seemed the limit
of milk production had been reached
with this equipment but by the intro
ductiOn Of the water bowl the produc-
ton Of winter milk can be increased
from twenty to twenty-five per cent
There will not be the usual shrink
age in the milk flow at the beginning
OF winter, when the COWS are taken
from the pasture and housed in the
dairy barn, which is equipped with
Simplex hinged sanitary water bowls
Milk is composed of from eighty tC
eighty-fve per cent water and unless
you have water bowls in your dairy
barn, you are not getting the utmost
