Working On the Tick
BY R. E. JACKSON, INSPECTOR IN
 CHARGE

DI tN- t. JACKSON, INSPECTOR IN
 CHARGE
 Alabarna's statewide tick eradication campaign is now In full swing. Since leg islation was enacted February to make this campaign possible, 1900 additional dipping vats have been constructed which added to those previously constructed make total of 7Si dipping vats in those counties now engaged in ridding their areas of cattle ticks.
 Alabama has A counties released from tick quarantine by the federal govern ment In all of these where the job has not been entirely completed the tick is nearly eradicated
 During June, 994.275 cattle were dipped with only 43,S4e cattle found infested.
 In the 2 quarantined counties which began the work this year practically all cattle are being dipped every two weeks. At each general dipping it is noted that the number of ticky cattle is less than at the preceding dipping
 An unfortunate phase of the work has been the disinclination on the part of some communities in certain counties to comply with the law as to the dipping of their cattle.
 Regardless of the fact that vats were so located that scarcely any one had more than two miles to drive their cattle the vats in such communities would be dynamited, thus making it necessary for owners to drive their cattle greater dis tances in order to dip them In four such counties 77 vats were destroyed. Necessarily the cattle had to be dipped at other vats regardless of inconvenience be- cause regular dipping for one season is necessary to eradicate ticks
 It is a fact to be noted that in counties where the probate judge has fully exer- cised his authority to enforce the law regarding the dipping of the cattle in disposing of cases of violations brought before him excellent results have been and are being had. In such counties de- stTuction of dipping vats has but slightly Hterferred with the progress of the work. All counties which are so fortunate as to have such officials will probably ob- tain their release from quarantine at the end of the seasons work. The con- tirued application of Alabama's state wide tick eradication law in it's present status will accomplish the results for which it was promulgated.

POSTAGE RATES FOR EGGS

EVERYBODY LIKES EGGS
 Egg production doubtless is the leading branch of poultry keeping, and. in addl- ton, is very important agricultural activity According to the last census the eggs produced in the United States
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-17

in 19o9 numbered more than 1,591 ,000, GOO dozens, with value of more than $306, 000000. Eggs, of course, are produced wherever chickens are kept, and by far the greater part of the egg crop comes from the general farm, yet large so-called egg farms have been developed with the main purpose of producing eggs for mar ket. The largest of these egg farms and the greater number of them are To- cated near markets which pay premium for white eggs; and for this reason, to- gether with the fact that eggs are prin- arily desired, the breeds kept are those known as the egg breeds, such as the Leghorn, Campine, Mnorca and Ancona. The Single Comb White Leghorn is un- doubtedly the most popular and the most widely kept variety of the egg breeds. These breeds comprise the Mediterranean and continental classes, as given in the American Standard of Perfection. The egg breeds frequently are found on gen. era1 farms also, particularly in those sections near markets preferring white egg and where considerable flocks Of poultry are kept
 POULTRY ONCE A SIDE LINE
 striking example of community breeding accomplishment is furnished by the Barred Plymouth Rock association, Farmville, Va. Organized for poultry i'm provement in 1915 this association has made such continuous and rapid growth that it has been incorporated with cap ital stock of s15o0, and a manager em- ployed to handle it's affairs.
 Receipts during the first five months of operation amounted to $750o, and recent reports show that members of the as- sociation have on hand more than 60Oo Barred Plymouth Rock hens and bullets. In the spring of 1916 they sold 1000 capons or a northern market.
 Before the Farmville association was formed, poultry keeping in that locality was merely incidental, an unimportant side line to other farm activities. Today poultry keeping is one of the important industries of that region, and even the casual traveller is impressed with the large numbers of Barred Plymouth Rocks Ion fa

A ssMutton Monday"

The average housewife would be sur prised to learn that in year she buys for every person in the household only five pounds of mutton or lamb, as com pared with about Il pounds of pork and s7 pounds of beef If all American fam flies used sheep meat one day week in the average daily amount of other treats, that would mean more than 20 pounds of mutton and lamb annually per capita, or four times it's present consump- tion
 More than that, the head of the family, who pays the bills, would no Goubt en- courage purchasing mutton or lamb in larger cuts, instead of merely few chops at a time, if he were made to realize the greater economy and the greater encour- agement to production. In that connec- tion a shoulder of mutton leg of lamb, being smaller than the average beef joint should appeal especially to small fs antilles.
 Why not have mutton Monday"
 Canada produced s2oo,Oo0,o0O worth Of minerals last year, s23, 3,0oo.000 more than in 1916, and $63, 100000 more than two years ago. The dominion's iron and steel nrcduction was the largest in its history

Manufacturers furnish instruction books on the care and operation of their thrash ing machine. They have spent years in experimenting, and they know how their machines should be run to secure the most satisfactory results. A great deal of the trouble experienced by the thrash erman is due to his disregard of or even neglect to read the manufacturers in- structions.
 There are other ways in which grain can be saved, but the proper operation of the separator is the most important. Efficient operation of the thrashing ma chine should interest both thrashermen and the farmers. The thrasherman can turn out more grain in 8 day, which means more money for him. The farmer will have more grain at no extra cost except thrashing charges), which means more money for him. The grain saved is ''pure velvet.''

LESSEN LOSSES OF EGGS

In marketing poultry and eggs there is an enormous preventable loss in quality and value between the producer and the consumer. It has been conservativeiy es- timated that this loss amounts annually to s75,0co,O ,O00 in poultry and $45.O00o,0oo in ee gs While this loss falls upon all who handl poultry and eggs it is borne chiefly by the producers and the con- su,ners. The producers loss, caused by a decrease in price under present con- ditions represents that due to spoilage or poor quality The consumers loss IS due to a curtailed supply because of the pounds of poultry and dozens of eggs that are either of poor quality or total loss: hence the consumer has to pay higher price for that portion which finally reaches him.

conclusions in a series OF eight articles

In his first article, Mr.. McClatchy
shows that Japan has copied her gov

In the succeeding articles. the Sacra-
mento editor enlarSes upon these points
and furnishes an immense amount Of

conclusions. His description OF Japan

Japanese statesmen and soldiers have
not only copied German methods as ap-
