ter suffered from very bad case of
some trouble that was like bloody
diorrhea. She bled continually for
hve months despite all we could do.
and she suffered agony, too. She
was just bleeding to death, that Is
the only way l can describe it. and
the loss of blood had sapped her
strength until 1 had to lift her in
and out OF bed.
we had doctors attending her
and they did all they could, and fin.
ally they said they had tried their
last remedy, and 1 could not say that
she was any better than when thew
started treating her. We had about
given up hope and I had begun to
rear that my only child would never
get well.
My mother-in-law had been urg-
ing me to try Tanlac for my daugh-
ter, and at last 1 bought bottle. as
the doctors had said they had done
all they could. When the bottle had
been taken she was in pretty good
condition generally and wonderfully
improved. She gained a lot of
strength, too.
My daughters trouble was the
most awful thing 1 ever heard OF.
and the way Tanlac helped her wa,
one OF the most wonderful things I
ever saw or heard Of My daugh-

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
MUST REGISTER CARS.

In accordance with the act, approx
led February Goth, 1917, creating a
state Highway Department, every
owner OF motor vehicle and every
dealer in motor vehicles is REQUIRED
to register with the State Highway
Engineer on or before the first of
July, 1917. The law provides that
each owner of a motor vehicle and
each dealer in motor vehicles shall
make application to the State High
way Engineer for registration and
license. The State Highway Engin-
eer will furnish these application
blanks on request.
The law further provides that on
and after the first of July that any

shall be punished by a fine of not
more than $500, or imprisonment
for not more than Is days for each
and every offense.
The State Highway Engineer is
anxious to register these motor We
Ibicles as fast as possible. and to
cause as little inconvenience to the
public as is possible, however, there
are about 10000 cars in this State
to be registered, and to register this
number Of cars will take at least
two months Of time AS there are now
only about two and one-half months
between now and the first of July.
and as no one will be allowed to
drive motor vehicle on the public
highways after the first of July un.
less duly licensed and registered. the
State Highway Engineer desires TO
urge every owner OF a motor We.
hicle and every dealer in motor We
hicles to make application for regis.
tration at once in order that his Of
flee may be able to complete the reg.
istration OF motor vehicles by the
flr9t OF July.

motor vehicle is urgently requested
to write to the State Highway En-
gineer at once requesting application
blanks.
The registration and license fees

County officials and others interest
ed in South Cardinals quart-a-month
law, which becomes effective on
April 25. will read with interest the
following opinion, rendered by
Claud N. Sapp, assistant attorney
general:
April Z, 1917.
Hon. l.. G. Bell, Judge Of Probate,
Mccormick, S. C.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 5th
inst. to the attorney general in ref
erence to your duties in connection
with the enforcement OF the law
relative to the qpart-a-month act has
been handed me for attention.
In reply thereto beg to advise that
the affldavit required to be made un-
der the provisions OF this act may be
made before any officer Of this State
who is qualified to administer an
oath, but il made before the Judge
OF Probate issuing the permit, he may
charge and collect fee OF twenty
five cents for administering the oath.
You ask to be advised as to wheth-
er or not under the provisions OF this
act citizens OF the State of Georgia
would have the right to order and
receive within this State the amount
OF liquors permitted under the pro-
visions OF the act.
In reply thereto 1 beg to advise
that there is no direct or specific pro-
hibition OF the right OF citizens OF
another State to receive within this
state the amount OF alcoholic liquors
permitted under the act, yet the
whole tenor of the act seems to be
an effort to localize, as far as posi-
Bile, the receipt of liquors permitted
to the locality of the person receiv
ing.
Section OF the act requires all per
sons desiring to receive alcoholic Ii
quors to apply to the Judge OF Pro
bate OF the county in which they re.
side and file with him an affdayit
that he has not received any like
permit during the same calendar
month.
Section OF the act prohibits any
person from receiving any alcoholic
liquors shipped to him within this
State except at the ONCE OF the com
mon carrier transporting same near
est the residence OF the consignee.
] am, therefore. OF the opinion
from a construction Of the act as
whole that 1t was the intention of the
legislature to restrict the receipt of
alcoholic liquors, allowed under the
terms OF the act. to citizens of this
State and would, therefore, advise
that you issue no permits to non
residents OF your county.
Yours very truly,
CLAUD N. SAPP,
Assistant Attorney General.

BUY FLOUR IN SMALL QUAINT.
TIES.
Housewives Warned That Attempt tu
Hoard and Store Often is False
Economy.

Washington, D. C.-Buy -four in
small quantities and protect it care
fully from spoilage, is the keynote Of
& suggestion from the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Sound -four milled from standard
wheat exhibits very little tendency to
decompose when stored in a proper
manner. Nevertheless, there Is
considerable loss of -four through
spoilage as a result of improper stor-
age. particularly during the summer
months. Flour dealers naturally have
to carry in storage an amount Of
-four proportionate to the current
needs of their trade. Housekeeprs
on the farm and in the city should
purchase -four in accordance with
their needs only. 1t is false economy
for the housekeeper to purchase lar
ger amounts Of -four than can be used
within reasonable length Of time.
This may be barrel for a large
family; more often it will be the So
pound sack. Any storage of -four in
excess of the consumers needs con-
stitutes boarding which, under pres
ent circumstances, is an unethical
and reprehensible practice. OF NO
profit to the individual who practices
1t, but injurious to the best interests
of the people. Il.
Since 1t is the duty Of everyone IN
the present situation particularly to
avoid all waste, it is incumbent upon
each one 90 to store the normal
stock Of nour as to eliminate all
waste whatsoever. The precautions
that are required have been we'll
worked out in practice and are stated
az follows by specialists in the De-
partment of Agriculture: &
There are three cardinal principles
Of -four storage. Flour should not
be stored in the cellar, since the GEL
lar is rarely free from dampness,
even though special -four bins have
been built in. It is common to find
odors in q cellar and -four absorbs
odors and is contaminated by them.
The cellar is cool, but is usually too
damp. Flour should not be stored
in the attic Of the usual type. The
temperature is too high in summer.
there is no circulation of air, and the
-four is likely to acquire a musty
odor. Flour should not be stored in
the pantry or kitchen except in small
quantities since the temperature is
certain to be uneven and the -four ia
likely to be contaminated by odors.
II practicable every household
should possess a small room for stor-
age Of non-odorous commodities.
Such a room is best located on the
north side of the building. 1t should
be ventilated and a cool, even tenn
perature should be maintained.
Where such room il not available
a closet may At the requirements
we'll. The bins or containers should
be kept clean, and when an old stock
Of -four IL exhausted. the container|
should be carefully cleaned before a.
new stock IL placed.
Naturally the flour must be guard.
ed from vermin. H.. Flour should be-
examined occasionally to see that de-
composition has not begun. Con-
served in this manner, the sack OF
-four in the household and the larger
stores OF the retailer can be utilized
to the exclusion Of any
waste through spoilage.

REDUCE AMOUNT OF
GRAIN FED TO PIGS.

Washington, D. C.--Pas n &
hogs reduces the amount Of grain
needed to bring them to a profitable
weight and marketable condition.
Either permanent pasture or tenn
porary crops afford such a grain re-
duction. The amount to reduce the
grain ration is problem for the In
dividual farmer.
Pasturage. however, does not fur
nish complete food because sum-
cient quantity of roughage can not
be consumed and digested to supply
all the nutrients required for rapid
growth. The forage, especially from
leguminous pastures, furnishes a
cheap source of protein, supplies ash
for bone making, adds bulk to the
ration, and acts as mild laxative
and tonic and keeps the hogs system
in condition to utilize probably the
concentrated feeds. Pasture crops
alone, however, make a pigs fat thin
and soft and grain is required to
remedy these defects. Even with the
present high prices of grain 1t pays
better not to cut the grain ration
more than half, feeding at the
rate of two pounds daily per 100
pounds when they are in a dry lot.
ture, instead of the usual four to five
jounds when they are in dry lot.
That this cut will pay better than a
greater cut is fully established by
records of the rate and cost of grains
made by thousands OF pigs under
such treatment.
The concentrated feeds to use
should be carefully considered. By
product feeds and feeds unsuited for
human consumption are preferable.
Many feeds formerly considered too
high priced are comparatively cheap
now. On alfalfa pasture the grain
should be largely carbonaceous in
character. With non leguminous
pastures more protein supplement
will be required.
Pigs, granted on pasture, will
gain a pound or more day from
weaving to a weight Of 200 to ESQ
pounds, while those getting little or
no grain will gain but one-half to
three-fourths pound per day. This
will bring spring pigs to a market
able weight in early fall. at the per-
iod of high prices, whereas those be-
ing pastured only are not ready for
market until month or two later.

SAVE THE BULL.

Save the bull! Many farmers think
that when they have had bull two
years he must go to the butcher, re-
gardless of the price they originally
paid for him. This is a most waste
full procedure. In this way the best
animals often go to the shcmblec be-
fore the daughters are old enough to
show their quality. 1t was only by
accident that some of the great sires
of the Holstein breed were saved
from the sausage mill long enough
for their daughters to develop and
prove them great.
One Of the best sires that ever
came to the Yakima valley, a grand
son OF that noted Holstcin bull, King
Segis. was sent to the butcher before
his daughters came in milk. Now he
has Is daughters in the Advanced
Register and a premium is placed
upon his blood, which is further
proven by the progeny of his sons
One son sired a heifer from a very
poor dam, the daughter standing at
the head of the honor list of the local
cowtesting association for three
months straight.
This story can undoubtedly be du-
plicated in every county in the dairy
districts of the state. Often farmer
is heard to remark: "Oh, won':
take a secondhand bull. I'm going
down to so-and-so's and get young
bull and raise him myself" Now
just what good effect raising him
myself will have he can't explain.
nor can he state what objections there
are to secondhand" bull. He
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-08-31

doesn't object to secondhand horses
or secondhand money.
If bull associations could be formed
with, say five farmers who live near
each other, they could have $500
bull instead OF FIVE 500 bulls ana
their profits when the daughters Of
the community bull came in milk
would probably be near five times the
profit from one of the 800 bulls.
When a good bull, from a dam who
gave 500 or 600 pounds of butterfat
in year on semi-official test comes
into the community he should never
be allowed to leave until better one
comes to take his place.
When buying bull insist on know
ing what his dams yearly record is
and what his sire's dam produced.
Seven or thirty-day records are not
sufficient. You will milk the daugh-
tiers Of your bull for year instead Of
thirty days or seven days and conse-
quently it is the yearly record that
you are interested in. Some record.
breaking seven-day cows never milk
over four months. You don't want
blood like that in your herd. It's
usually hard enough to get heifers
and young cows to milk long enough
any way. Look for yearly records.
They are the only sure indication of
what a COW can do. If you have been
informed that semi-ohcial records
are not reliable take the pains to in.
vestigate the way they are made.
Write to your dairy department at
Washington, D. c.. the head of the
dairy department at the State College
at Pullman, or the commissioner Of
agriculture at Olympia. Ask your
neighbors who have been buying bulls
from yearly record cows whethor they
like the yearly plan or not.
You can't tell by looking at bull
whether, his daughters will give more
or richer milk than their dams. A
farmer is heard-to remark: II have
the finest marked bull In my neigh
borhood." A brief schrutiny Of the
photos of the great cows or the great
bulls Of any breed will show that
there is no particular type that IL
best, for good ones are found among
both light and dark colored Jerseys,
both all black and all white Holsteins.
etc. Fad in colors or markings d q
great injury to q breed. II you are
breeding for milk production disre-
gard all else in selecting the sires for
your herd.
Remember, when buying bull:
The better the bull the greater the
profits.
A yearly test is sure tcst.
Beauty is superficial. Records
show what Is under the skin.
