cure this additional force-and feel
that we willard if the people of the
State will avail themselves of the
services of this force, see no rea-
sonwhy we could not immunize ev-
cry brood SOW and boar in this State,
and when that has been done, we will
be far advanced upon the road that
leads to a great swine-producting
State.
AS there may be some of our citi-
zens who may think the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board has done more
for the eradication of the cattle fever
tick than it has done for the control
of hog cholera and may also think
that the swine industry has not been
given the consideration ii should
have received, l desire to say that
scuh is not the case.
When the law creating the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board was en-.
acted by the Legislature in 1917,
there had been great deal of educa-
tional work done in this State look
ing forward to theenactment Of such
law, and through the forts of the
Cattle Tick Eradication Committee
of the Southern Settlement and De-
velopment Organization and the cat
tie growers of Florida, a great
amount of work had been done, and
through the cooperation of these
forces, an appropriation had been
made by Congress Of more than $685.
100000 to be used in Florida during
the fiscal year from July l, 1917 to
June 30, 1918.
To insure the work being carried
out in satisfactor manner, the U. s.
Bureau of Animal Industry sent DR..
E. M. nighbert to Florida to look af-
ter the preliminary organization and
to be Inspector in Charge, IL the
Legislature should pass a good live
stock sanitary law. The result was
that everything was ready for organ
ization, and by July "a, 1917, an
, agreement was entered into between
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
and the U. s. Bureau of Animal In.
dustry, and the work moved off
smoothly all because of the great
amount Of preliminary work that had
beendone prior to the passage of the
act creating the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board.
The only educational work In hog
cholera control In the State was that
which had been carried on by DR..
A. H. Logan of the U. s. Bureau Of
Animal Industry, with the assistance
of the County Demonstrators, under
the Xtension Division OF the State
College. of Agriculture. These two
agencies had done much, but with
only one scientific man for the State,
DR.. Logan, and assistance largely
from the County Agents, and up to
the passage Of the act creating the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board,
quite a number of the counties did
not have County Demonstrators, II Is
easy to see that there was consider
able work to be done before every
agency and the people, too were
ready for a close Statewide coopera.

Accomplishments And Future Plans OF
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board

State Vetinerean ]. w. DeMilley Of
Tallahassee in an address before the
State Swine Growers Association al
Miccanopy told of the plans of the
State Live Stock Board, as follows:
Il deem it an honor-and it Ger
tainly is great pleasure for me tc
be with you gentlemen on this occa
sion. wish to assure you that
have looked forward to this meeting
OF the Florida State Swine Growers
Association with a great deal of in
terest, for meetings of this nature
when made up of men of affairs, as
you gentlemen are, always results in
much good accomplished.
1t is Impossible for anyone to &c
into the whole story of swine grow
ing in Florida, and every grower OF
swine Is familiar with many of the
primary essentials, and too, these
subjects will be discussed by other
speakers; so | shall confine my re
marks to "The Accomplishments and
Future Plans of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board in Hog Cholera Con
trolls.
The conditions under which the
world is moving at this time are
such that no industry can accomplish
that which it would accomplish un
der normal conditions; however, We
have made considerable progress in
the control of hog cholera. You mus
remember that up to the time the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board was
created and organized, there hat
never been any regulatory work done
not only in hog cholera control, but
in any other branch of the veterinary
field, and for this reason, we have
had many perplexing problems tt
face.
The first step of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board looking toward
hog cholera control was to get or
ganized for work and get cooperative
movement from all the swine grow
ers and from all the forces interested
In swine growing in this State.
As you gentlemen know, up to the
time Of the passage of the act Great
ing the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board, the animal industry was un
der the State Board of Health. While
the State Board of Health did consid
cradle work for the industry, it was
not the proper authority to have
charge of the industry and it had bu
q small amount of funds with which
to work.
The United States Government hat
for some years been carrying on ed
ucational work in the State in Hot
Cholera. DR.. A. H. Logan of the U
8. Bureau of Animal Industry ant
Dean Rolls of the State College O
Agriculture, through the States Re
iations Service, had paved the wa!
for larger work and it was neces
sary thai regulatory work be carried
on in every section of the State.
The State Live Stock Sanitar.
Board Is working now under cooper
alive agreement with these twt
forces, and the United States Bureau
of Animal Industry has given us /;
corps of men under DIR. L. E. Lyon
In the regulatory work, also working
under cooperative agreement.
At this time, the State Live Stool
Sanitary Board has ten assistant vet
erinarians in the fields, and the U.
Bureau of Animal Industry, under Dr.
Lyons, has three, all doing regula
tory work, and who are at the call o
the farmers and swine growers o

THE FUTURE OF THE EARTH.

Maurice Maeterlinek is not only a
renowned presentday philosopher,
but one OF the greatest prophets the
world has eyer known.
THE Future of the Earth in
March Cosmopolitan, IS one Of the
finest articles he has ever written
In these days of strife and dark
ness we are all inclined to view the
future Of this earth in a most pessi-
mistic light But with marvellous
vision, Maeterlink sees
only the beginning OF a better world
"A world made better by that very
struggle we are engaged in today, by
the anguish and torment OF soul that
must naturally attend it. A-world
that has so much more before than
it has behind it,!

adequate for the three men who mur-
dered the three officers in Graham
county recently unless the federal
government should take Jurisdiction
after their capture, says the Arizona
Republican, 1t was a wanton mas
sacre, added to the crime Of evading
the draft.
We are sure that no considerable
part Of the right thinking popula-
ton Of this state will be satisfied
with the confinement of these men
in more or less ease, comfort and
distinction in the state prison NOM
inally for life, but really for few
years, until the edge of the horror
and resentment Of the populace has
been dulled by corroding time
In the case of one Of these MUIR
derers, Sisson, it has been bloodily
demonstrated that the moral and be-
nign influences of the prison did not
benefit him. He was paroled, the
authorities doubtless believing that
he had been restored and that good
citizen had been made of man who
had shown a tendency toward GRIM
inality.
Graham county contributed, we
believe. to marrow majority by
which the Indifferent voters of Ari-
zona permitted, in the way of an
experiment, capital punishment to
be abolished a year ago last fall. We
cannot escape feeling of curiosity
as to the result Of plebiscite in that
county on that question now.

MINES DOING THEIR BEST.

Space in the non-technica1 press
formerly given to news of mining
camps is now devoted TO accounts of
the war and the industrial activities
that are ensuing as a result of the
conflict. This meager supply Of news
from the mining camps creates the
impression that little Is being done
in mining as compared with the ac-
tivities Of normal times, says the Den
yer Daily Mining Record. The re-
verse is true, for in all of the camps
every miner who desires employment
is instantly employed and production
in the established mines is being
speeded up to the limit Some large
undertakings, too in the way of un-
watering old mines and operating
them with modern equipment long
extensive lines are either under way
or projected. Further, eastern capi-
tai is making inquiries regarding pro-
missing properties in various districts
and it is no unlikely that much Of the
new money will be set to work at.
mining with the opening of spring.
The larger copper mines are grad
naily working toward a normal pro-
duction and undoubtedly will show
large output for the year. Produc-
tion Of gold is going steadily forward
although in somewhat diminished
quantity; and silver Is being mined
ia considerable abundance. An i'm
portant output continues to be main
tanned by the base metal mines which
will undoubtedly be able to meet the
heavy demands Of the government.
When all conditions are taken into
consideration, in these times of in
dustrial agitation, it may well be
said that the mining industry has
done and is doing remarkably well.
To have held its own so steadily and
vigorously is no small achievement.
During 1918 the existing mines in
tend to keep as busy as ever, and
those with the addition of the new
mining projects contemplated should
produce a tonnage of ore as great as
that OF 1917 and possibly greater.

Proclamation by the Pres.
ident Of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are lighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make 1t clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve it.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence. because
1t grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service 1t Is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary Of the discovery of Amer
lea therefore have for us in this
fateful year a peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it q day
of ardent rededicatiOn to the ideals
upon which II government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday. the 18th
day of October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day | request the citizens Of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate Il generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commem-
home festivals, or other demOnstra-
tons should be arranged for in every
neighbOrhood under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of The treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in cO-Opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
Its discovery until now. and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
Of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 18th day Of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, | have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.

REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS
German Poster Reproduced by Bureau

A poster recently issued by the i'm

to belittle the participation Of America
In the war and thus strengthen the
morale Of her people form the text Of
n Of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau Of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The center of the poster Is devoted
to a drawing showing New York city
on one side Of the Atlantic and a ire
mendOus explosion on the other side.
probably somewhere in France. Two
sinking vessels are shown in the lane
Of travel between New York and
France. while in the Ofling are two
U-bOats securely aflOat. opportunity
for the German U-bOats.. :" Is the catch
line for this section Of the poster.
The lane Of travel in which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription:
"America-Europe. Distance POO times
greater than from England to France
mainland" In Il corner Of this Sec
tIon Of the poster are Shown the names
Of Serbia, Montenegro. Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up in the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
Of the European war, and the names
Of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out. indicating that they have
hoon o1tninofod prpp, tba ctr,,uyln hr
the Huns.
The title Of the poster IS "Can
Americas Entry Make a decision of the
War;" Integral sections Of it attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place OF Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
ia have any effect on the result of the
war, and that the C-bOats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt t. cross the ocean.
Two millions Of the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
in various parts Of the country, par
ticularly in theaterS where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
Every effort is made in the wording
and the illustrations of the poster to
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States i'm the war. A striking
example OF this Is found in the figure
Of Uncle Sam. who is pictured as a
c%adaverous individual who wears an
American flag with nine stars and five
stripes around his plug hat and smokes
a lo~ng-stenmed cob pipe. He also APP
pears to he wearing spats Of dancing
pumps.
The enormous figure Of a Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets, indica-
tive of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding a small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in

BRAKES SHOULD Be
IN GOOD CONDITION
Importance Of Inspection o.
Mechanism Is Overlooked.
Sixty Per Cent Of Accidents Could 30
Avoided IL Motorist Would Pay
More Attention to Them
Stop by coasting.

The importance of the condition Of
ones brakes cannot be Overempha-
sized. There is a growing sentiment
among traffic officials in v0riOus parts
of the country that some system of
regular brake inspection should be de-
vised. An official of the Motortruck
Club of America says that 60 per cent
of the accidents caused by brake trOu.
Bile could be averted if motorists would
pay more attention to their brakes and
have them inspected regularly. The
fact that brake bands are cut of sight
Is n reason assigned for their neg
lect. he says.
Too much use of the brakes is made
by the average driver. This wears
them, racks the mechanism and Injuries
the tires. A driver should learn to
stop by cOasting to the point where the
stop is to be made. This may be
learned with a little practice and
should always be done on a level road.
If you find you are going a little too
far a light pressure on the pedal will
do. This is far better than dashing
up to the spot and then jamming the
brakes to make a spectacular stop. Be-
sides wearing the brake lining and at.
tachments 1t racks the tires, sometimes
making the wheels lock and the tires
slide.
In coasting down hill the brakes
should be used alternately. BY chang
ing from service brake to emergency
the first Is allowed to cool, %prolonging
its life. The longer it lasts the less
cost to the mOtorist. Changing from
one brake to other does not cool the
on the wheels, as one brake OPP
crates on the outside and the other on
the inside Of each drum. So 1t is nd.
to relieve both brakes as much
as possible.

USE OF WOOD TO
HELP SAVE COAL
More Convenient and Cheaper in
Many Cases on Farms and
in Small Towns.
GET PROFIT FROM WOODLAND
Probable High Prices Offer Opportu.

sirabIe Trees-ReIatlve
Heating Values.

Farmers who own woodlands and
who can purchase wood from nearby
farms can help in the coming winter
as last winter-tO relieve the demand
for coal and the strain on railway
capacity by burning wood in place of
coal.
1t Is not expected substitution of
wood for coal will be complete or uni
versal, as for many purposes coal is
much more convenient. But for heat
ing many kinds of buildings wood is
the more convenient and cheaper fuel.
This Is particularly true in the case of
churches, halls. summer cottages and
other buildings for which heat Is re-
CURED only occasionally but then is
wanted In large volume at short no.
tice.
The Illustration shows the utiliZa-
ton Of wood at Camp Meigs, near
Washington. The power cut-up saw
shown is the standard machine used
by the army ut various camps, and has
a capacity Of about Is cords Of four
foot wood cut into 1S-inch lengths In n
day Of six and One-half hours. Wood
was the only fuel used ut Camp Meigs
when the picture was taken. In the
winter coal Is used to heat the bar
racks, but wood alone Is used in cook
Ing.
Relative Heating Values.
In heating value. one standard cord
of ~well-seasoned hickory. oak, beech,
birch, hard maple. ash. elm. locust, or
cherry is approximately equal to n
ton (2,OOO pounds) of anthracite coal.
But a cord and n half of soft maple,
and two cords of cedar. poplar or bass
wood are required to give the same
amount Of heat. One cord Of mixed
wood. well seasoned. equals in heat
ing value at least n ton of average
grade bituminous coal.
In the accompanying table is indi-
Gated the price the consumer can af-
ford to pay for a cord of wood as the
equivalent of anthracite coal at vari-
u prices.
Methods of Making cordwood.
The most common method of making
cordwOOd is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with the ax and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-10-04

piled In n standard cord, which Is 8
feet long, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide.
The contents are 12S cubic feet, OF
which about 20 per cent is wood and
30 per cent air. Wood cut 4 feet long
can be sold to b~rickyards. llmekilns,
Woodworking plants and other indus
tries. but Is too large for household
use.
Another method, and one better
adapted for old growth hardwOOds,
which are difficult to split, is to saw
the tree into logs of convenient lengths,
say from 10 to Is feet. These are
"snaked" out TO the edge of the wood
land and there sawed and split into
lengths proper for the stove or fur
ace The saving is usually done by
machine, driven either by gasoline or
by electricity. The wood is piled /
feet high and s feet long. such a pile
being called n "stove-woOd" or run
ning' cord or run" When the wood
is sawed into 16-inch lengths. as Is
customary with stove material, three
rum are theoretically equivalent to
one cord.
Wood a Profitable Farm Crop.
Firewood is expected to bring Il bet
ter profit this year than ever before.
1t is a much less perishable crop than
many which the farmer raises. When
properly piled. the better kinds Of
wood will last from two to three years.
although wood steadily deterlOrates
after the first year.
To have the best heating value, as
well as TO reduce the cost Of hauling.
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,
which means air-drying it from six to
eight months. However, when piled SO
as to get a good circulation OF air, 80
per cent of the moisture may be re-
moved in three months. Wood cut in
October and November, therefore, may
be- burned the latter part of the winter.
The prices which cordwood likely
will bring this year offer the farmer
an opportunity to improve his wood
land by wedding out the inferior trees.
In the past this has seldom been prac-
ticable, for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With the prices indicated
for the coming winter, Trimmings be-
come practicable over Il wider ang of
country i'm the vicinity of good mar
kets. The woodland owner may secure
specific information from his state
forester, his county agent, his state
agricultural college, or from the Unit
ed States forest service, Washington.
