What Home Demonstration
Agents are Doing

The work Of the county home
demonstration agents will bt
more appreciated when we re
member that such work as the fol
lowing report of one of these
women is being accomplished, not
only by this one, but by all OF
them: "Visible results of the
home demonstration work can be
seen in the home OF one Of my
new members. When / first
began to go there, things were not
clean, flies were terrible, and veg
etables were never canned for
winter use. On a recent visit, the
kitchen hardly looked the same.
White oilcloth was on the table,
there were benches and chairs,
and the floor had been scrubbed
clean. AlthO the house is not yet
screened fly traps were in use and
there were very few flies, Sixty
one Jars of berries, seven No. 3
cans of beans, and Is glasses Of
jelly were On. the kitchen shelf;
and 1926 cans have been bought
for tomatoes" 1t is no wonder
that the work of the home demon
stration agents is so popular.
The Short Course for Girls, held
in Lafayette county two days
recently, was one Of the most sue
cessful courses Of this kind that
has been in the State this year.
There were 36 girls present, com
ing from all parts of the county.
Special instruction was given in
canning and home making. Six
steam pressure Gamers have been
placed in Lafayette county this
year. There are about Is hot
water Gamers in the county. !

START THE FALL GARDEN

Every one owning a garden o.

Us, says C. X. McQuarric, state

The most important factor in
successful garden crop production
Is the proper preparation OF the
soil and seed bed. Stable manure
is really one Of the best agents
known perhaps, of insuring a fer
tile soil, with plenty Of soil bacter-

get the highest yield and the best
quality in the vegetables pro-

Cattle Quarantine Restored

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Fed
eral quarantine for cattlefevel
tick has been replaced on Lake
and Orange Counties, Florida, by
order of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, effective
August IS. The effect of the
quarantine is that cattle cannot
be shipped interstate from these
two counties except under the
regulations promulgated by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
Since Lake and Orange Coun-
ties were released from quaran-
tire on December l, 1918, the cat
lie men and county authorities
nave failed to cooperate in the
'mopping-up" work, and ticks
rave multiplied until they now

counties that are tick-free or that

All other released counties in
'lorida are doing satisfactory
mopping-up" work, and it is
elieved that no other replace
lent of quarantine will be found
ecessary.

Indians Of Michigan would make war

were from the Pawnee tribe.

The French were not able to per1na.
nently establish republic until they
had tried three times to do so. The
anarchy Of the French revolution pro-
duced Napoleon Bonaparte, as first
consul, and then as emperor. The rev.
olution of 184S resulted in Napoleon
III as hereditary emperor of the
French by an almost unanimous vote
in November, 1882. The third republic
was a result of the Franco-P russian
war and the king Of Prussia was pro-
claimed emperor Of the Germans, Sep
tember 4, 1870, and his coronation took
place at Versailles January Is. 1871.
The third French republic was saved
from destruction by the ability and ac
tivity Of Louis Adolphe Theirs. Like
Cavour he carried his country safely

Forecastina Storms.

BY means Of what is believed to be
o new scientific discovery, 1t is claimed
that weather forecasts may be made
with reasonable accuracy two weeks
In advance.
AS q result of research, conducted
by a former chief Of the weather bu
reau and a representative Of the
Smithsonian institution, IL has been
found that there are riffs in the up
per clouds of the solar atmosphere
which cause q variation in the amount
of heat radiated to the earth. It is
said the Investigators have discovered
the period of time between the pas
sage Of heat rift in the solar at
mosphere and the appearance of re-
sulting storms on the earth.
1t has been found that at times
these heat riffs persist for several
months and that they have produced
corresponding disturbances here.
