II the hauling Of the country dis
tricts is to be done up before spring
comes it viii be necessary that unit
ed move be made on part Of road au-
thorities to assist IN clearing them for
ordinary traffic. A fellow at our ell
bow suggests that it ought to be the
duty of road oyerseers, local and coun-
ty, to know that roads are in passable
condition. 1t is important that hard
and essential hauling be provided for
as that wheeled vehicles be made safe
and their path unobstructed during
the summer months. And this sug-
gests the thought that patrolmen
could be of the greater service dur
| ing winter months. Just think this
over bit, then tell US your conclu-
sions.
Mr.. Lee Lepley, manager of Liberty
Pole cheese factory: "Our factory
did very satisfactory business last
season, and we anticipate greater
things for the future. We paid thir-
ty-three patrons over S35 5000. We
could heve handled fully as much
again product at comparatively small
additional expense, which would have
meant greater profits to patrons"
There has been much comment
| among farmers and the press since the
Censor gave publicity 20 the death of
five cows on the farm OF Isaac Ellef-
son caused by eating tobacco leaves.
it has brought to mind of nearly every
| tobacco grower the wonder that more
animals have not been poisoned from
the same cause, for who that has
grown the weed has not permitted his
! cattle to "brouse" on the stalks and
small leaves that have been dumped
out of stripping sheds? On this point
the writer took occasion to inquire of
Org. w. Minshall regarding the prob
able cause of poisoning in the particu-
lar case cited. He said that the great
er danger would be at time when
the tobacco is coming into heavy case,
the nicotine being at that time most
dangerous. Nicotine poisoning was
the thing that killed Mr.. Ellefson's
cows, and an autopsy showed that only
small quantities had been consumed
