WHAT MISSISSIPPI AGENTS ARE
DOING

One agent was called into the CON-
munity recently to assist in controll-
ing an outbreak of blackleg. He found
a young veterinarian charging fifty
cents per dose for pellets which cost
about eight cents each. This agent i'm
mediately gave these figures to the
farmers, taught them t oadminister
the dose. and provided them with in
jectors.
Due largely to the effectiveness of
the cream routes in operation, Agent
McReynolds reports that 5000 pounds
of cream were shipped from Attala
County during one week in July, as
against $500 pounds during any week
of May. Twelve separators have been
sold in this county recently, a cream
cry is now under construction, and At
tala bids fair to become one of the
States leading dairy counties. -

THE HAPPY

Not to be lifted too high -.
BY the hopes that are bright anc
fair;
Not to be cast too TAR
By the shadows of life's despair;
Not to be made too glad
With the wonderful wild dream
wineing;
Not to be made too sad
With the bells for the dead dreams
ringing.
Not to be made OF sure
.Not to count all life lost
Of the triumph beyond the fight;
Because of a little night;
Not to expect too much
Of the infinite struggle and STRIFE
Not to be too much hurt
BY the infinite wounding of life.
Not to be lifted up
More than is proper OF wise;
Not to feel doom or defeat
In the little drawbacks that arise;
Daily q measure of cheer
The lifting Of laughter AND song,
With wisdom of faith and OF fear
To suffer and still be strong!

HORSES AND THE WAR

The farmers and stock breeders of
the United States furnished to the
var all told, about 1900, 900 horses.
Of which. however, only about $4,000
vent to Europe in the service of the
United States government. A far
r~reater number than this went to for
,ign governments. Save for a certain
lumber of divisional headquarters
FOODS and small special corps, the
United States sent no cavalry to Eu-
rope, and it's hOrse-drawn artillery,
ammunition trains and other vehicu-
ar services bore a not very important
relation to the vast motor service. But
he horses and mules of America have
for all that played an important part
q the winning of the war. The cOntri-
luton which the country has made in
hat respect to the great cause has
been vital. And who shall fitti~" }v
commemorate in a book which will be
rcmembered when "Black Beauty" is
forgotten, the patient and willing suf-
ferine, the wounds and deaths and
weary plOddings to the bitter cod, of
these faithful animals, that the cOun-
try might be defended?
1t is proof of the wonderful prOduc-
ing capacity of the United States that
the horse population of the country
has not been sensibly diminished by
this contribution, this sacrifice. AL
ready this population had not been de-
"reased by the enormous growth in
ne use Of automobiles. In 1900. be-
fore the great motor development.
the horse population of the United
States was 1927 ,020. By 1910 it had
~jSen to l9,S33,113 In 1918, in spite
If the war demand-perhaps on az
count of the war demand, it had risen

asst estimate of the present horse pop
u~latiOn is almost the same as that
y $40. goo. Since 1915, increase has
been over 200. 600.
Although hundreds of thousands Of
no'Ses have fallen in the war. the eff
fetc of the sacrifice has been, there
fore, to bring still more horses into
existence. The war has meant, in the
aggregate, life for these beautiful
creatures rather than death. And it is
safe to say that the record in this re-
spect has not been made up, for the
development i'm breeding already rec
Orded will result in still further pro-
duction. The battle-scarrcd modern
world is another Richard who says:

AS follow up work of the organiza-

ton of the State Sweet Potato Associ-
forth in south Mississippi to encour-
age the construction of adequate
houses for the storage Of this valu-

already beginning the construction of
the houses. Adequate storage facilities
for the crops now produced IN the
State would revolutiOniZe the potato

the sweet potato the most profitable
crop produced by the South Mississip-
ri farmers.
AS a substitute for the high priced
feeds now so general a number OF
agents have persuaded their farmers
to purchase black strap mollasses in
car lots. EXPERIMENTS demonstrate
that black strap molasses is a pound
for pound equivalent for corn. with
black strap at about lac per gallon
delivered, and corn at $50 per bu-
shell. it will be readily seen that a por-
ton OF black strap adde dto the feed
now used will result in a considerable
what in the experimental stage and
financial saving. This work is some

Ralph y Carlisle, one of the lb1at
known young men Of this city, passed
away early this morning, at the home
Of Mrs. Dill on Sixth street, where
he and his wife were keeping house
this winter. Influenza, followed BY
pneumonia was the cause Of his death.
He was thought to be getting along
nicely until Friday when the change
came and from that time he grew
steadily worse until his death.
Ralph j. Carlisle, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Basil W. Carlisle. was born in
Logan. Ohio, in February 1883 and
came to Missouri Valley with his
parents when three years Of age and
has made this city his home practi-
cally ever since. He graduated from
the local High school in the class Of
1901 and the next year went to the
Culver Military Academy where he
spent two years. Later he attended
Chicago University and Cornell college
at 1thica. N. Y:
Some few years ago he took up a
homestead in Canada and spent part
of each year there but for the past
year he has been managing his farm
near Orson, living on the farm in the
summer time but moving to town
| for the winters.
He was married to Miss Minnie
Weiser, of Butler, Mo-, in 1915 to
which union two children were born,
| a daughter and son. who are left
to mourn his untimely death.
His mother. Mrs. B. W. Carlisle pas
sed away in 1904 and his father in
1907.
Besides his wife and children, he
leaves one sister. Mrs. John Curtis,
of Long Beach, Calf, as well as a
host of friends, to mourn his death.
Ralph was an unusually bright
young man, having been u great
| reader all his life and also deep and
logical thinker. During the war he
made a scientific study Of the moves
of all the armies and was probably the
best posted man on the strategy Of
the conflict of any man in this vici-
nifty. Warm hearted and Of gener-
GUS nature, he will be greatly missed
among his many friends.
1 Although not definitely decided
the funeral will probably be held
from the Presbyterian church at 2:3(
p. m. Wednesday and burial in Rose
Hill cemetery.

"THE flu

And your shin bones knock your tongue is furred
And your tonsils squeak and your hair gets dry
And you re doggone that you're going to die,
But you're skeered you won't and afraid you will,
just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you through,
For you've got the Flu, boy,
You've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt goes flat,
And you'r twice as mean Thomas cat,
And life is long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like hard boiled hearse
When your lattice aches and your heads buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to YOU
Yon' we got the Flu, boy,
Youve got the Flu
What is it like this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother for I've been through,
1t is by Misery out of Despair;
1t pulls your teeth and curls your hair;
1t Trims your blood and brays your bones,
And fills your craw with means and groans
And sometimes, maybe, you'll get we'll.
