delicious ways that were demon
Strated.
Some Of our most interesting work
was in the diary. Every phase Of the
work was practically demonstrated,
from the proper way of churning to
testing milk with a Babcock milk tes-
tor, and selecting q good dairy COW.
We did actual laundry work with
machines costing from $500 and
operated by hand, to S125.00 motor
power ones. The agents faithful
friends, our Fords were not forgot
ten. In the splendid machinery build
ing, we actually ~
put it up again. This in a way a
of inestimable value to the agents.
| am glad to be back in dear La
fayette county again, and hope there
will be no further Interruptions.
Conditions have been 50 out of the
ordinary over the state, that the work
is handicapped. With springtime
coming, | hope that much work has
been unavoidably postponed may now
be accomplished.
We will be busy now with the gar
dens, tomato plots, and the baby
chicks.
Young chicks should not be fed for
from "a to 36 hours after Matching,
and will not suffer if given no feed
until the third day. The yolk of the
cog, which is absorbed by the chick,
furnishes all the nourishment re-
quired during this time. 1t is this
provision of nature for the first susie
nance of the chick that makes it pos
sible to ship newly Matched chicks
considerable distances.
At the start it is advisable to feed
five times a day, dividing the day into
equal periods, and alternating a mash
OF soft feed, such as johnnycake, with
a hard grain or scratch feed.

100000 French Killed

An Atlantic Port.-France in four
years of conflict to preserve her own
liberty and that Of the world, accord
ing to Andre Tardie, French high
commissioner to the United States,
has lost 100000 men killed and as
many wounded. America owes France
an enormous debt of gratitude for this
heroic outpoIring of her life's blood
and also for the reported saving OF
thousands of lives in this country and
throughout the world through the
discovery by French peasants of a per-
feet remedy for stomach, liver and in
t~estinal ailments which, it is said has
relieved i~ncalculable suffering and pre-
vented thousands of surgical opera
tions. Geo. H. Mayr, prominent Chi
cago chemist, imports the ingredients
and sells this remedy in America UNI
der the name of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy. 1t is a simple, harmless
preparation that emove the catarr-
hal mucus from the intestinal tract
and allays the inflammation which
causes practically all stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments, including APP
pendicitis. One dose will convince or
money refunded. Sold by Chiffon q
Co., and druggists everywhere. Adv.

in Leakesvilie the latter part of last
week to hold the first quarterly con-
ference for this charge and preached
Friday night on the Missionary Cen
tenary, an enterprise dear to the
heart of the authorities of the Meth
odlst church at this time, as they are
putting on drive which will they
believe prove ephochal in the histo-
ry of that church and serve to train
their membership to do big things
in way of promoting finances of the
church, keeping them alive TO their
possibilities for real generosity which
the war drives has taught can be
put across and not hurt anybody
very much. There may be some
special plate matter submitted and
run in the Herald explaining this
project ere the drive proper, which
is April 27-Nay 4, rolls round.

The Abusers OF Confidence On Credit.

There are some people who are
simply not honest. The editor finds
them out same as other folks after
while. 1t hurts US to discover, that
a man in whom we had confidence
will not pay his honest debts. Pos
sibly it may be due to lack of right
training early in life but its a bad
principle to absorb no matter how
acquired. We are not speaking of
debts made of such size that in view
OF later misfortunes, can not be paid
dollar for dollar-the bankruptcy
courts are to relieve that, but we
speak OF debts within the reach and
yet which are not cancelled. Greene
County Herald.
Those confidence debts unpaid are
what hurts, brother. Dawn of Light

gress Reports from Parish Agents

a paragraph in which farm demon
stration agent in some remote par
ish gave an account of how be had
organized a group of farmers for the
cooperative purchase of fertilizer in
car load lots at wholesale prices. The
idea struck him as good one, and
be immediately got into touch with
Mr.. &C. Chapman, his county agent
at De Ridder, to know if they could
not do tie same thing. Sure you
can, says Chapman. I'll be home
tomorrow morning. Notify all that
are likely to be interested to meet
me. " The result was that they or
dered l75 tons of fertilizer and saved
the buyers something like a 81, OOO
