Club Work

Below is list Of the boys and girl.
VINO have given their names for Pic
Club and Corn Club work in the count,
Tor this year. 1t is long list and j,
VIII be surprising, indeed, if all OF
them are able to finish. Last year
almost as large number enrolled, but
only small percentage stuck to the
work until the close in the fall. This
year. however, ! have insisted that the
teachers send In no names which thew
did not think would or could carry out
their agreement to grow a pig or an
acre of corn or both. Therefore. | am
convinced that majority of the men,
bers whose names are given will be
here in the fall with a creditable ex-
hibft.
1t IS gratifying to know that a great
majority of the Pig Club members
nave been reported as either having
their pigs or knowing just where they
are gong to get them. Still more
gratifying is it to know that most of
the members are going to use regis
tered stock. There are a number of
the list who will need assistance If
they are to get good stock. or get any
beneht from the club work in the
county. Let these boys write me, or
better still, have their teacher write
me right away. am confident that it
will be possible for me to get help for
the right kind of boy.
We hear great deal in these days
about diversficaton in farming. At
a superlntende nts' meeting in Meri-
dian last week got the idea that we
are entering on an era of diversified
ton in education. We are gra a1ually |
coming to believe that it isn't alto
gether perverting the aim of the pub
lie school if we teach boy or girl how
to grow tomatoes. cvrn, pigs, in other
words, how to be an amer and pro-
ducer. We are getti G to believe that
1t is no less dignifi, to know how to
do things than it is to be able to read
the fourteenth chapter of Caesars
Gallo War, 1t seems to me
that the parent or the business men
could engage in no more profitable
Work than to encourage and assist
these boys and girls arc willing to do
things.

10 Canning Club Girls and Women:
1t is very important for US to have

lbout every phase of our club work
Ind if we succeed in doing efficient
york, and work that will measure up

hen it is necessary for US not only to
cad all literature sent US but to study
J carefully and put it away for future
! jse. Let me urge every club member
Hb do this, because while these instruc-
ions are free and we want every one
the county who is interested to re-
leve them, still the supply is limited
hid it is very hard, and at times i'm
Assible, to get more. The girls clubs

Heavy Losses in Hogs.

AS stated in last weeks BEACON
there has been considerable sicknes,
and loss by farmers from cholera ane
other diseases among the hogs. DR..
Barclay, veterinarian, who has treated
number of herds. says the trouble is
often worms and not cholera, and has
furnished the following from Bulletin
No. of the agricultural Extension de-
partment.
Worms in hogs sometimes cause
death in such large numbers that peo-
pie believe that they have an epidemic
of hog cholera. Hog worms are
usually found in the intestines, lungs,
kidneys, and in some instances the
muscles they are vsry troublesome
pests and are nearly all blood sucking
parasites, which lower the vitality of
the animal and sometimes cause death.
In Mississippi the hog worm that
gives US most trouble is "thorn head
worm. " This worm attaches itself to
the inside of the intestines by hooks,
and on the outside of the intestines
shows a little mark like little pim-
pie. Sometimes large numbers of
these forms are found in pigs. They
grow to 6 or inches in length, and
often as large around as a slate pencil.
The common round worm lives in the
small intestines, and sometimes large
numbers of them are found. They
taper at both ends. They are not as
dangt rous as the "thorn head" except
that they are usually much more num-
erous.
Pin worms are found in the intes-
tines, but they are small and usually do
nut cause much trouble in themselves.
When other parasites are there, how.
ever, the pin worms add to the injury.
Lung worms are very small hair-like
worms found in the windpipe or lungs, |
and cause a great deal of inconyen-
ience to the animal. A cough is the
principal symptom. They are usually
acquired by the pigs breathing dust
which contains the very small undevel-
oped parasites.
TREATMENT
In feeding grazing crops, soiling
crops, dry lot, or stable feeds, hogs
should always have an opportunity to
get mineral matter. A combination
used by both the Louisiana Expert
nent station. and by this station for
some time, is as follows:

A A0eOn Paper SsVsnty-fv, Years Ago This Week

The above is the title of one of sever
al papers that were found recently
among the affects of the late ]. H,
Buck. Its date shows it was printed
75 years ago this week. and it takes
the laurels away from the BEACON,
which it has always claimed. of being
the first paper published in Macon. In
several things there is a similarity in
the Herald of rs years ago and the
BEACON of today, One is the delin-
quent tax sale of land, and there are
very few even family names that are
now in the county. Tht FIRST name on
the tax list is Mingo Mushulatubbee-
whole section 3, township IA, range Is.
Ashookah creek, The water course is
part of the description of every piece
of land. Other names on the list are
Charles G. Clayton, Joseph May, VIM.
5, Bray. William Caster, Stephen E.
Nash, Jas. Murphev, Dayid Buck, Levi
Perkins. David Hubbard, Edward S.
Harrison, F. D. Constantine, Jas. Gil
lespie, VIM. P. Hurst, Malcomb Gil
christ, Daniel Greene, Nathanial Hood,
Nathaniel H. Hooe, VIM. H. Fleming,
and number of Indian names. The
list took up two pages of four column
paper, and the printers fee was 81 900. !
Another similarity is the hard times
and the scarcity of money. as will be
seen in several of the items printed be-
low,
The Sheriff has notice to the effect
that nothing but the bills of banks
actually paying specie orgold and silver
will be received in the Sheriffs Office"
Another is the prohibition question
was as much problem then as it is to-
day. The "gallon law" had just been
repealed and saloons were licensed to
sell by the drink.
The following gentlemen were
elected president and selectmen
of the town of Macon on Tues (

The reader is referred to an
excellent article from the South
ron," on the Temperance refor-
nation. 1t will repay them for
the perusal. Now, the Gallon
Law" has been repealed, it be-
hooves the friends of Temper
ance to meet the vice of Drunk
enness with some weapon which
Will destroy it in its bud; and we
know of no other means which

ance societies.
Had the Gallon Law" con-
tlnued in operation a few more
years, we believe Drunkenness
would have been measureably
driven from the land, as peoples
habits would have been so
strongly formed to Temperance
as would have entirely DESTROYED
the appetite for drinking.
The number who have taken
the benefit of the Bankrupt
Law at the North, has not
been near as large as was calcu-
lated. In most cases the debts
have been compromised. Would |
it not be we'll to follow their ex-

the Bankrupt Law will vet be

which in any manner invalidates

 The strength of the war group was chiefly due to an increasing recogni- tion of the advantageous position oc- cupied by some of these stocks in con- nectiOn with new and very large con tracts.
 Bethlehem steels retained their lead of the previous day, the old common stock adding SA points at its best to it's recent gain, while the new issue rose points to S7%, making a maxi mum advance of almost 20 points from its minimum of the early week
 United States Steel's extreme ad- vance was only IF points to 106as, but all this was lost in the more general realizing of the last hour.
 Shippings came in for much atten- tion at gains of to points and num- erous specialties showed equal ad- vances while the list was at it's best.
 Coppers and several of the gas stocks manifested additional reaction ary tendencies, this condition being overcome in part later. The movement of rails. was irregular, as Pacifics were susceptible to moderate offerings. Sales amounted to 965,000 shares.
 Bonds were hesitant and limited as to dealings. Liberty 3hs followed the narrow range of 99.70 to 99.72. Sales of bonds, par value, aggregated S5,500,- 900. United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call, the Panama Ss rising as per cent on sales.

 temperature drop that seemed just what was needed to dry out new corn kept bulls almost constantly at a dis advantage. Forecasts of a return of warmth and moisture tomorrow. how ever, tended to lessen pressure on the December delivery and made that op- ton relatively firm. Reports of pros pective liberal buying for the Mexican government counted a little also to harden values. Investment demand appeared to be absent and support came nearly altogether from shorts.
 Oats were easy with corn. Receivers said farmers showed more disposition to sell, so as to provide storage room fof corn.
