TO PROTECT SACRED SNUFF
Reason Given for the High Bench Be-
hind Which Supreme Court Judges
Have Their Seats.

The Federal Supreme court is cele-
brating its centenary of 1.-The high
bench" Originally the justices sat
behind long bench on the floor of the
court--on level with the lawyers
who tried their cases before them.
This straight desk had set into 1t a
snuff box opposite each justices seat.
Henry Clay was arguing a case before
the court. During pause in his argu-
ment one of the justices reached for
ward, took pinch of snuff and settled
back to weigh the more carefully the
reasoning presented. In his next
pause Mr.. Clay reached over and with
a THANK you" took a pinch himself
The court was indignant. That after
noon they met to decide what could be
done to preclude the possibility OF a
second breach of the etiquette of the
court and decided to have bench
made of such height that no mere
practitioner could reach their pet snuff.
Since then they have sat behind the
high bench that is in use tOday.-New
York Tribune.

From miles and miles away these

American money very quickly brought

AUSTRIAN VILLA

one Of these fine old houses gets new

largest family in its history, about 65,

HERB FARMS TO BE COMMON
Comparatively New Branch Of Horti-
culture Is Becoming Popular
in England.

Without doubt herb culture is the
coming science. One of the most ar
resting facts in the domain of medi-
cines today is the progress made in
pharmacy, London Tit-Bits states.
Herbs, from having been used ad
lib. in medieval times, fell into dis
repute, and in modern times herbal
remedies, apart from drugs which
could be numbered on the fingers of
one hand, were tabooed, save by the
enlightened few.
Herb farming is new branch of
horticulture, writes A. r. Norwood.
f. L. S., in the Homeopathic World
II is an interesting and intellectual
pursuit specially suited for women.
Before the war there were numerous
herb farms run on commercial lines
by firms of manufacturing chemists.
But there were no schools for the
training of amateurs. Since the war,
however, school and herb farm has
been started at Chalfont st. Peter,
BucSinghamshire, by Mrs NJ. Grieve,
F. r. III. S.
One of the main objects of herb
farming is to cultivate plants of medi-
cinal value. Besides the drug plants
in general use, such as belladonna,
henbane, fox-glove, aconite, datura
and so on, vast number of herbs
whose real value is known are used
in medicine, including such common
-nI
poppy, colchicum, barberry, chamomile,
dill, fennel, blessed thistle, valerian
and male fern.

REST cows BEFORE CALvING
Erroneous TO Believe That Animals
Cannot Be Dried Up for Neces-
sary Rest Period.

Dry off your good cows and give
them rest of eight to ten weeks be-
fore calving. II will do them good.
Some cows have a tendency to milk
nearly up to the date of freshening.
and II is often belief that they can
not be dried off for sufficient rest
period. Expert berdsmen, however,
find that no injury results from dry
ing up COW which gives as much as
five to eight quarts daily, II one milk
ing day is omitted for several days
and the animal then partly MIXED out

cit will thus be noted that during
the years when other industries were
making very large profits, when the
prices of farm products and the wages
of labor were soaring to unheard of
heights, the earnings upon railroad
investment in the United States were
held within very narrow limits and
that they have during the past four
years progressively declined.

the most effective results in tick eradi-
cation are obtained. During March
approximately half million cattle
splashed through the dipping watts in
the state The April reports show
that S33,434 cattle were dipped under
federal, state and county supervision.
This Is very good record, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, when it is con-
sidered that Georgia Is essentially a
cotton growing state and that the cat
tie industry has been neglected on
account of the handicaps presented by
the presence of ticks.
Now all cattle that have been
dipped In Georgia are marked with
paint, and this plan has given very
satisfactory results in getting to the
dipping watts animals pastured on the
open range that might otherwise miss
regular dipping. The use of range
riders, whose duty 1t is to search for
and dip cattle that are not marked
was considerably increased during
April.
In Georgia, as in all other southern
states where the fight against cattle
ticks has been waged, there is always
more or less opposition to the tick,
eradication movement Recently a
meeting was held in one Georgia town
for the purpose of protesting against
the further dipping of cattle in the
county. A progressive farmer who had
experienced unsatisfactory results in
raising cattle under tick conditions
read notice of this meeting of pro
test and Immediately wrote a letter
to the president of the bank in the
town in which the meeting was held.
In this letter he said:
your people meet opposition in tick
eradication, ! desire to express my
actual experience on this line. Before
the discovery that the cattle tick was
the source of infection, the only cause
Of bovine fever, l brought many regis
tered Jersey dairy cattle to Putnam
county, middle Georgia. Later ] i'm
munized the northern cattle by trans
fusing blood from cows carrying ticks
to the susceptible northern-bred cattle.
"While the treated cattle did not sub
sequently die of cattle fever, the proc
ess proved harmful to the growth and
development of the animal whose life
was saved When the history of the
deadly tick became fully known, tick
eradication justly took precedence over
any treatment Its ease of accom-
plishment, its economy and beneficial
results that followed all emphasized
its necessity to any community that
desires to raise cattle.
"In our part of the state no man, no
matter how unreasoning and bitter his
opposition to tick eradication when we
needed his moral support, can now be
found who does not fully approve the
work No argument should carry more
weight than the full Endorsement and
approval of opponents when they see
the whole truth, and change from OPP
position to advocacy.
Surely we who have bred cattle un-
der tick infestation, and later after
tick eradication, are entitled as mis-
sionaries to endeavOr TO benefit others
who have never been without the dis
advantage of the pest"

when the government took charge OF
wages through the Adamson act, the
labor cost of the railroads had not
exceeded the sum of about S1,46S, 000,-
coo annually In 1920. when Govern
mental authority made the last wage
increase, the labor cost OF the ran
roads was about $3,69S 100000 annual
ly, or if continued throughout the
year instead of for the eight months
during which the wage increase were
in effect, the labor cost, on an annual
basis, would have been largely in ex-
cess of $4,000, 100000. an increase,
since the government took charge OF
railroad wages in the Adamson act,
of approximately $2.450,000,000 an
nualiy. In the light of these figures,
II is manifest that the recent reduc-
ton of wages authorized by the Labor
Board, estimated at from 10 to IL per
cent, in no sense meets or solves the
problem of labor costs and in no way
makes II possible for the railroads to
afford reduction in their revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced:
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and FIVE thou
sand individual reductions in freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc'
tons in rates have amounted to more
dian the reductions in wages so far
made and on many other railroads the
reductions in wages allowed no net
return on operations, but merely pro-
vided against the further accumula'
tion OF a deficit.
THE point is often made that agri-
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate Difficult
ties as the railroads. Why, therefore,
do not the railroads take their medi-
cine like anybody else? The answer
lies in several facts:
81. The railroads were not per.
mitted, as were other industries, to
make charges during the years soi
prosperity, making possible the ac
emulation of surplus to tide them
over the present extreme adversely

state Commerce Commission, the rate
