TALES of T. r.
The Elephant That
Nearly Got T. r.

= .l's b.
|, r. J. 'Cunningh.lme, the famous Afri-
can hunter, who was in charge of Colo
mel Roosevelt's hunting expedition in
East Africa, said he had never found
ANY other so easy to get along with.
and no other man who, by his clarac-
ter, made every man in his service so
|anxiOus to do the best possible for
him" He tells the following story of
zone very near squeak the colonel
had Said he:
"The colonel was determined to get
an elephant and tusker at that. l
told him what that meant and how
much risk there was. but he said that
he was willing to face it. That was the
colonel all over.
'We found an elephant in a forest
on Kenia mountain. We had been hunt
ing for three days. and it was hard
work for man OF the colOnel's bulk
in that heat and at that altitude, IL 900
feet. At last caught sight through Il
thick bush of elephant hide and Il tusk,
about thiry-tive feet away, just near
enough to tell me 1t was a fine speei-
man. l pointed IL out to the colonel.
He fired with complete GOODNESS, got the
elephant in the ear and dropped him.
AS the shot went off. the forest all
around roarcd aloud with trumpetings.
We were in the midst of n herd of COWS
and Young bulls, and one of the latter
thrust his head through the bushes
right over the colonel'S head. l was
right behind him, fired ut once and
bowled him over.
Then l rushed mp to the colonel and
said, Are you all right, sir!' But |
could see he was before l spoke. He
hadn't turned hair. At any .romcnt
the cows might have blundered through
the bush over us, but he never thcusn,
of that He went to the old chap he
had killed and gave IL the coup lie grace
and then let himself loose. l never saw
a man so boyishly jubilant."

Commercial stocks of wheat reported
in survey made by the department of
agriculture for March !, 1910, amounts
cl to 97,277,6sS bushels. These hold
ings, reported by 11,400 firms -eleva-
tors, warehouses, grain mills and whole
sale lealers-were more than three
times as large as the stocks held by the
snme firms a year earlier, the actual
percentage being 3OS.9 per cent of the
1918 stocks. The figures refer to stocks
actually reported, and do not represent
the total commercial stocks Of the coun-
try, nor do they include stocks on

Vigorous Poultry.

Every individual in the home poultry
flock should show yigor and strength.
Size lnot fat, erectness, activity,
bright eye and red comb are favorable
points indicating good constitution.
Dropping tail or wing. weakened legs,
head and neck not erect denote weak
Hess. Pullets bred from good layers are
preferable. A good layer will be n
hearty feeder. and usually a vigorous
worker. Pullets hatched early will prove
better winter layers.

Bonner Charges Fail.

=
The legislature adjourned late Sat
urday night after accepting a report
from the committee investigating the
charges of Judge w. G. Bonner that
members of the legislature had parti-
cipated in orgies in hotels and had con-
tributed to the delinquency of many
girls. The report of this committee
follows:
Mr.. Speaker: Your committee, ap-
pointed to investigate the articles APP
pealing in the newspapers accusing
members of the sthirty-eighth general
assembly with improper and immoral
conduct, beg leave to report that we
have examined all the witnesses with
in the reach of subpoena and find from
our investigation as follows:
First That the various articles APP
pearing in said newspapers are not sus'
tanned by any reliable or trustworthy
evidence, and are supported only in a
very slight degree by the statements
of immoral women, which statements
are corrobOrated by no EVIDENCE. fact
or circumstances worthy of credit.
Second: That Judge Bonner, who
was quoted in said article as the auth
GRITTY therefor, expressed regret for the
publication of said articles, and ex-
pressly testified that he has no afiIda-
Wits or statements, and knows OF the
existence of none sustaining any OF
the facts set forth in said articles
and lie was unable to furnish your com
mitfee with any evidence which we
consider worthy of credit in support OF
newspaper articles.

Corn and sorghum are the best crops
for silage. More food nutrients are oh
tained from one acre Of these crops
than from an equal area of any other
crop that may be successfully grown.
Such crops are easily harvested and,
owing to the large amounts of water
which they contain, pack well, thus es-
cnping excessive fermentations by the
exclusion of air.

Preparing Seed Corn.

To insure maximum and profitable
yields of corn it is highly important, ac-
cOrding to the United States department
of agriculture. to prepare seed properly
for planting. Farmers should devote
as much time as necessary to the pre-
paratiOn Of their seed corn before the
rush of spring work. They should dis
card all undesirable ears, after subject
ing the corn to careful termination test.
while subsequently they should nub.
classify and shell the seed ears by hand,
in addition to testing the accuracy Of
the drop Of the corn planter.

Get Seed Potatoes Ready.

As the time approaches for potato
planting, the, grower should take the
necessary steps to provide himself with
good seed stock and to prepare for its
tlisinfection before planting. High
grade seed potatoes are those which are
true to name, free from yarietal miX'
ture, Of good type and grown from
healthy and productive plants. In the
absence of such seed stock select me-
dunn large. sized tubers of good shape
and as free from scab and black scurf
as possible.
Treatment: In disinfecting seed pota-
toes one has the choice of two disin-
fectants-fOrmali lin and corrosive sub
Innate, either of which are about equal
ly effective against potato scab but are
not on a par when black scurf (Rhi-
z0ctonia) is present on the surface Of
the tubers. For this disease the cor
rosiye sublimate solution is much more
effective.
Directions: The directions for the
use Of either disinfectant are as fol-
lows:
(1) FOrmalin solution: Dilute pint
formalin with 30 gallons water.
(2) Corrosive sublimate solution:
Dissolve 4 ounces corrosive sublimate
in 2 gallons not water; dilute to 30 gal
Ions.
Soak uncut tubers in either solution
for ~ to 2 hours remove and spread
out to dry.
In, cutting the seed a further selec-
ton should he made by rejecting all tu-
hers which, on the removal of n thin
slice Of flesh from the stem end. show
a brownish discoloration. II this ex-
animation is carefully made. it will
eliminate practically all blackleg, flu
sarium wilt, and rhizoctonia infected
tul,ers from the seed stock
The use of we'll selected and properly
treated seed should insure much
largerl yield than that secured from I'M
selected and untreated seed.

Potatoes IN Silare.

Unmarketable potatoes add snccu-
lence to. the dairy ration. Where corn
silage is not available and there are
plenty Of small potatoes, a peck day
will give marked increase in milk
flow. They should be introduced into
the ration gradually and be run
through root cutter to avoid the pos
sibilfty Of choking the animal.

How to Use Silage.

While silage is an excellent feed for
dairy stock, it, should be combined with
some leguminous feed, such as clover,
cowpeas, or alfalfa, owing to it's INSULT
cient productive quality. The legumin-
Gus material will tend to correct the
deficiencies of the silage in dry matter,
protein and material constituents.

Salary Of Farmer $1,2l0.

'The average American farmer has
jumped into the ST. 1O a year salary
class.
BEFORE he began coaxing up bumper
war crops, he could pay himsdf only
$53.33 a month";. Thus in 1913 he earn
ed exactly $G4O.4O, according to a study
made by experts Of the department of
agriculture.
Four years of war have put into. the
pay. envelope of the average American
farmer nearly 5000 in cash. In adj
dition to this additional money at a rate
sufficient to-:
Put into the savings bank each year
a neat s per cent on his Investment.
Put aside to maintain machinery, 20
per cent and s per cent building repairs,
Pay the highest wages and highest
prices known.
Feed and clOthe his family.
Meet his taxes and probably pay off
the mortgage, or at least cut big hole
out OF it. h.
AS result Of all that, the value Of
his property has, climbed out of sight
The average American farmer is a
wholly imaginary figure who came into
existence in 1913 when the agriculture
department experts made their study Of
his paid in" and paid out items,
which. told them lie was earning only
S640.4O a year instead of the S1,2lO he
now receives. Not every farmer in the
United States, Of course, did so well.
Some of them have fewer than the av-
erage 1881 acres in their farms. Others
with thousands of acres cleared far
more. The calculations show the ave.
age farmers prosperity is based on
comparison of income and expenditures
of other years, given by the agri .ultnse
department and the census bureau.

(ciearing up, but too late for the rice
lthreshing season. There's are thous
ahds OF acres in and near by this com
munity that have not been threshed
because of inclement weather. There
has been a big loss too in the gross
product, and also in the price. Those
who were able to thresh and sell be-
fore the first rains made better than
some of the farmers who are selling
now,
Rice sales are still daily being made
here. Many of the farmers are dispos-
ing of theirs as soon as they1can have
available cars to snip it in. An aver
age of two or more cars are shipped
daily by Mr.. Octave Corbello, who
owns and operates the warehouse
here.
