SACRIFICED BOY FOR DONKEY
tween Giving Up His Son and
the Direst Poverty.

Some years ago Chinaman was
confronted with the problem of secur-
ing donkey, without available means
to purchase it with. He had number
of children and would not be able to
support them unless he could secure
the animal with which to work in mis-
attempt to keep starvation from his
door.
On bordering the matter he decided
that the donkey could serve his pur-
pose better than could any one of the
children in the family. He therefore
arranged an, exchange. giving son
of his into slavery that he might gain
possession of the animal as means
of support for the rest of his family.
1t happened that the lad was rescued
from the life of slavery and placed in
a Methodist institution.
Quite recently one of our Methodist
missionaries had occasion to address
the student body of large Chinese
school. His interpreter won his adj
miration by his quickness and by his
accuracy, and he inquired into the
matter. The missionary discovered
that this was the little boy who had
at one time been exchanged for
donkey, grown into young manhood
and beginning q professional career
of large usefulness to that community
of his needy peOple.-The Methodist.

PREVENT BIG LOSS OF GRAIL
Poor Work of Binder, SCATTERING Dur.
ing Shocking and Faulty Separator
Are Causes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Under average conditions the loss of
grain during harvest is far greater
than is generally supposed by the av-
erage farmer. Poor work on the part
OF the binder, SCATTERING during shock
Ing and hauling, faulty work of the
separator. and minor losses at the ma
chine result in a waste of millions Of
bushels every year. With a guaran-
teed price every farmer is offered an
incentive to reduce such losses to a
minimum this season. See that the
binder is in good working order,
handle the bundles carefully, using
tight floor or canvas on the wagon In
hauling, and demand by the farmer
that the separator do efficient work
will save many dollars worth of grain
az well as add to the pocketbook Of
the farmer.

If the annual battle, against the cat

boxing match of nine rounds-each
month from March to December being
a round-it is true that the tick got a

March of this year brought more
clippings of cattle for the tick than
were recorded in any other March
since the federal and state govern

1906. According to reports from all
tick-infested states 1.203,497 cattle

REPAIR OF PASTURE FENCES
Little Time Spent in Replacing Weak
Posts and Tightening Wires Will
Prove Profitable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Advantage should be taken of the
first lull in farm work to inspect and
repair pasture fences. A little time
spent from time to time throughout
the season in replacing weak posts,
tightening or splicing Of wire and driv-
ing an occasional staple may save
much trouble later when the pasture
becomes short and the cattle are
tempted by crops In nearby fields. A
strong fence discourages cattle from,
attempting to break out. while a few
successful attempts may make regular
fence breakers o. them If plenty of
water and salt are provided and
fences are kept in repair. usually little
trouble will be experienced unless the
pasture becomes very short and the
cattle are Iured By other fields.

1t is believed that the general dipping

Quoted in nearly all of zone No. dur
ing the present year.
The Oklahoma state legislature, by
making special appropriation of $40,-
600 assisted several counties In the
southeast corner of the state which
seemed unable to raise funds with
which to carry on county work. With
this assistance 1t is believed that Okla
homa is now in position to get rid
of the tick by the end of 1920.
The Arkansas legislature recently
appropriated 100000 for tick eradica-
ton ia that state, and with the large
force of federal, state and county EN-
ployees now at work it is believed that
Nearly all the counties in zone No. !

Der 1. The Louisiana forces seem de-
termined to wind up the tick fight this
year, and the indications are that they
will be successful.
In Mississippi, where final cleanup
work is being conducted following the
release of the state from federal quar-
antine, the courts recently decided
that the state laws providing for state
guarantees are legal, and 1t is be-
lieved that the final work in Missis-
sippi will be successful during the
present year.
Statewide Law in Alabama.
AS result of the new statewide
decentralization law in Alabama It Is
hoped that the entire state will be re
leased from federal quarantine by
next December. The law requires all
county commissioners courts in tick
infested counties to provide means for
dipping and to require the dipping OF
cattle every two weeks between April
1 and December I.
Systematic work is being conducted
in % counties in Georgia, giving
ground for hope that these counties
will be released from quarantine at
the end of the dipping season. The
statewide law enacted by the Georgia
legislature at its 1918 session becomes
effective in December of this year, and
1920 may be the last year of the tick S
residence in that state.
In Florida it will be necessary to
conduct eradication work in units com
reason more time is required to con.

their elimination.

/ DOESN'T PAY TO SPRAY BETS
Easier to Make New Paintings When
Attacked by Leaf Spot, Especial
Iy in Small Garden.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Garden beets are attacked by leaf
spot which materially Injuries their
growth, but it is so easy to make a
new planting of beets that 1t hardly
pays to spray, especially in the very
small garden. This is practically true
of large number of diseases.
By keeping stock solutions of cop
per sulphate and lime on hand, little
Bordeaux mixture can easily be made
up and applied with a cheap sprly
outfit that can be purchased in any
seed store. Where these sprayers ara
not made of brass or copper, the Bor-
deaux mixture should not be allowed
to stand in them, and they should be
thoroughly cleansed with clean water
after using.
