COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
HAD MEETING TUESDAY

But for the Introduction of "hog
cholera" into the meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners Tuesday morning,
the session would have passed off
without ripple.
After a general discussion of the
benefits to be derived by the county
in general and the farmers in partic-
ular, the Commission voted to accept
the offer of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for a special man
for Ben Hill county to eradicate hog
cholera and otherwise look after the
animal industry of the county.
Mesdames Ball and Green present
ed flag to the board for the use on

What Other Counties
Of Georgia Are Doing

with reference to the Red Cross
week which is before u.s." says Mrs.
Lon Dickey, who has been a close
observer of the movement throughout
this section, 81 am so glad that it has
at last become our privilege to serve
in this great work. | am sure, how
ever that it is from no Stacker" spirit
that we are behind our neighboring
towns in the movement, as our health
committee, who served so admirably
in the sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals the past year, has been willing
and anxious to takeup the work but
its memoirs have been hampered
from lack of instruction as to how to
proceed.
Il was asked by an Abbeville lady
recently what we were doing and was
told that they were very active there.
Friday it was n privilege to visit a
number of towns in Berrien and Tiff
counties, and their activities there
made me long to put our town on the
list of workers.
Tiff County has worked under the
National Red Cross Week, designat-
ed by President Wilson. and ending
June 18th, but Berrien had designated
the week ending July 1st, and follow
ing is list of what some of the towns
did that week:
"Hahira contributed $4,000; Poulan
raised $4,000 the first day, starting
late in. the week; Sparks began Fri
day, but was doing admirably when
we passed there early in the after
noon; Nashville, Adel and Midtown
had all raised the 100 members at ST
each, the amount required for a per-
manent organization in a town, and
had large number of monthly sub
scriptions to last until the war should
close.
I wish, too, that more people might
have heard Reverend Grail, of the
First Methodist church, who observ-
ing Sunday as Red Cross Sunday in
his church, delivered his splendid SER
mon, "The Christian in War"

county and that only $40 had so far
been donated He stated that none
of us would care to think that one
of our boys might be lost through
the lack of a couple of dollars which
might furnish the necessary aid.

THAT these include many different
things which must be made according

WORLD NEEDS WOOL
TO MEET SHORTAGE
Retention of Entire Lamb Crop of
This Spring Until 1918 Will
Assist Greatly.
By MARION WELLER, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)

(By MARION WELLER, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
The world needs wool as never be-
fore. A British authority recently
made the statement that one-third Of
the wool supply was going into uni-
forms. Now that the United States
has entered the war the proportion
going into uniforms will be still larger.
This will mean less wool for the civil
ian population. How is the wool
shortage to be met?
It can be met in part, says the live
stock subcommittee Of the state COM
mittee on food production and con-
servation by the retention Of the entire
lamb crop of this spring until 1913, in
order that the wool clip may be in
creased. 1t can also be met in part by
the use Of the shoddy made from dis
carded clothing, clippings from the
clothing factories and rags that con-
tain wool.
In other countries this latter source
of wool supply is regularly counted on.
Remnants such as those mentioned are
baled and sent to shoddy mills, where
they 60 through machine that pulls
them apart and delivers the fiber in
fluffy mass. This fiber Is carded again,
spun into yarn and woven into cloth.
Sometimes it is blended with new wool
for the better fabrics, or may be mixed
with cotton for the cheaper fabrics.

DIPPING FOR ScAB HELPS CONTROL TICKS

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
There is some danger, according to
agricultural authorities, that the sheep
tick may become a source of consid-
cradle loss to farmers and stockmen
in those localities In which the dipping
practiced for some years In order to
eliminate sheep scab has been largely
discontinued. Dipping for scab has
helped to control the sheep tick In
those localities, which consequently
have been comparatively free from this
pest for number Of years. Now,
however, 1t appears that sheep ticks
are becoming a nuisance In the areas
where systematic dipping was former
~ carried on, and they are likely to
cause great deal Of damage If steps
are not taken to control them.
Sheep Are Restless.
The sheep tick is q wingless para
site fly which spends its entire life on
the sheep. 1t obtains its food by pune
turing the skin and feeding on the
blood and lymph Of the animal. The
irritation thus caused, especially in
the case Of lambs, is great, and the
constant drain of blood may in time
become serious. Infested sheep are so
restless that they do not feed we'll and
are in general less thrifty than tick
free focks. These conditions hamper

Necessary Clippings.
IMPORTANT TO FEED
WORK HORSES WELL
Some Good Suggestions Offered
by Oklahoma Expert-AIfaIfa
is Great Bone Producer.

There was a time when anything
was good enough for the horse. Agri-
cultural conditions are gradually
changing. With the increase in farm
values, the increase in cost of grain,
and the increased cost of producing
feed grains as well as roughage, the
question Of feeding the horse is be-
coming more important all the time,
says w. L. Blizzard of the department
of animal husbandry at Oklahoma A.
and M. college at Saltwater.
The question of combining feeds
that are economical is probably the
most important question at this time.
On most farms some or all of the fol-
lowing feeds are available for the
work horse: Corn, barley, oats, kafir.
bran, cottonseed meal, linseed oil meal,
alfalfa hay, oat straw, sudan hay,
prairie hay, timothy and clover hays.
A few suggestions by Mr.. Blizzard
for combining these feeds for horses
work horses or others-are as fol-
lows:
Corn and alfalfa hay are a good
combination, but have a tendency to
heat the animal during hot weather.
Oats or bran will counterfeit this ten
dency. Corn, barley or kaf1r will give
better results If combined with bran
and cottonseed meal or oil meal. Oats
added to any Of these feeds will in
crease their efficiency. Oats alone Is
a better feed than either corn, kafir or
barley. Oats and bran combined half
and half, are especially well suited Tor
brood mares and growing horses.
Bran is a good conditioner. Cut straw,
alfalfa hay, sudan hay or prairie nay
can be added to a grain mixture ana
should constitute from 20 to 70 POUNDS
of 1OO-pound combination. These hays
when cut and mixed with the grain auu
bulk to the ration and reduce the cost.
The mixture should be dampened WIN
one-sixth water before feeding.
Alfalfa is a great bone producer.
When il is used, the amount Of bran
can be reduced in ration. 1t is
mistake to feed alfalfa one day and
some roughage the next.
a ,5OO-pound work horse should re-
cesye Is pounds of the grain mixture
daily when at work, and about twelve
mounds of hay. He will not need SO
much hay if cut hay is supplied in his
grain mixture.
Under no circumstances should
work horse have all the hay he will eat.
His capacity for roughage seems to
have no limit, and he may do himsei1
injury if allowed free access to an I'M
limited supply.

sented, are very plain and present
about the minimum in the word Of
making. But they are smartly cut,
and have q few new and noteworthy
points in their makeup.
One Of these early models for fall

Of the familiar wool materials, or to

and at the front. A short sash of the
material of the dress is fastened at
each side under one of the front plaits.

The sleeves are long, and large at
the top, and the skirt is cut with an
outward flare. It is somewhat long
er than knee length. and without trim
ming of any kind. The dress buttons

shaped opening at the throat. II Is
shown with q white piQue collar, as
plain as the dress, but collars Of thin
ner materials, like organdie or dimity,
finished with very narrow crocheted
edging, might be substituted for piQue.
In the interest of preparedness va
riety of easily handled collars for the
schoolgirl are to be furnished with a
few substantial dresses; for fresh and
pretty collars contribute daintiness
and something Of variety to the school
girls dress.
Now that everyone is asked to help
to conserve wool, it is not out Of place
to suggest that wool dresses that have
been discarded by grown-up mem
bers Of the family should be handed
down to the younger girls and remod-
eled into schooldresses and frocks for
everyday wear. Even though there is

NAL, but 1t cannot be depended on to
destroy those in the pupal stage, inI
which they are protected by hard
shell. In this shell the tick remainsI
from 10 to "a days. A second Dip
ping, therefore, "a days after the first
will find these insects in an unpro-I
tected state, having emerged from the
pupal shell in the interval between the
clippings.
Effective Solutions.
There are a number of solutions
which are effective in destroying sheep
ticks. Among these, coal-tar creosote,|
cresol. and nicotine dips may be pur-I
chased ready-prepared. The lme-sul-i
phur-arsenic solution can be made at
home, but 1t is difficult to prepare and
its poisonous qualities necessitate spe-
cial precautions in its use. Complete
details in regard to the various kinds
Of dips and the most effective methods
Of administering them are contained
in new publication of the United
States department of agriculture,
Farmers bulletin 79S, "The Sheep
Tick"
Cost Of Dipping.
The cost Of dipping varies consider
ably, depending upon the cost of labor,
fuel and material. In the sheep
growing sections Of the West, however,
it may be estimated at from 2 to 31s
