State Rewards Teachers Service

Thirty-six teachers in Green county
have received a bonus from the state
for teaching more than one year in
the same school. Why does the state
pay this bonus? Because the legis-
lators of the state believe that the
best teaching is done by teachers
who hold the job several years. They
get acquainted with the place, peo
pie and conditions, and take a gen
uine interest in the community.
Teacher turnover" or change of
teaches, is more serious loss to the
schools than laborers is to industry.
Experts in industry place the loss to
the business of replacing laborer
between $40 and 500. The loss to
a school of replacing a good teacher
would run still higher.

Population Increases Cost Mil

Much money is involved with the
growth of population Of the United
States, says a publication of the
United States Senate Committee on
Reconstruction and Production.
Senator Calder, chairman, .estim-
ates that every time the United
States gains a million population,
public utilities have to raise $780,
100000 through the sale of securit-
les, to be spent in extending plants to
serve the additional customers crea-
ted by that increase in population.
Public utility men say this money
for extensions can be produced only
tht0hgh the sale of securities and
that the credit of utilities can only
be maintained by rates that will in

money in other industries.

Recover Dog.

Ed Arthur's dog, mentioned in
last weeks issue as having fallen
into a mining shaft, was rescued
Thursday by Mr.. .Arthur's fifteen
year old son Preston. Early in the
morning the boy with several COM
panions, went to the mine. A tree,
rooted some distance down in the
side of the shaft, is growing out of
its opening. Preston directed the
other boys to get hold of the limbs
of the tree and prevent it's tipping,
while he climbed on it and looked
down to see IL the dog was alive.
They did so, and he crawled out on
the tree to investigate, and saw the
dog about forty feet down the shaft.
Then the party came to town for a
rope. Mr.. Arthur was notified of
what was going on and he and a mum

emily uninjured by its fall of about
forty feet to the bottom of the big
hole in the ground. A large turtle

finement, but it was left to it's fate

The Auto Bus in Des MOines.

If the auto bus does put the trolley
out of business in Des Moines, the
greatest humiliation to the street car

the matter of packing in the strap

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. kjlmers Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once,
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.

About the FIRST question that most
people ask concerning milk goats Is,
"How much milk will they produce"
This is. of course, very important
consideration, as the value Of doe
is estimated largely by her milk pro-
duction. Even IL a doe Is purebred,
she is Of little value from the utility
standpoint unless she Is capable of
giving a good quantity Of milk. Many
persons in purchasing purebred or even
grade goats have been disappointed to
find that the milk could be measured
In pints and not quarts or gallons as
expected.
A doe that produces three pints q
day Is considered only fair mixer,
while the production of two quarts is
good, and the production of three
quarts Is considered excellent, provid-
ed the lactation Is maintained for from
seven to ten months, say specialists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. There is probably no bet
ter way to treat this matter than to
state that good does should produce
from eight to fifteen times their
weight in milk in a lactation period.
1t is stated by German writer's that
many goats yield ten times their body
weight of milk annually, and excep-
tional animals as much as eighteen
times their weight.
Goats milk can be utilized for the
same purposes as cows milk, although
| for some 1t is not nearly SO well suit
ed. For general use, such as for
drinking, cooking, aud In tea or cot

REMOVE sTUMPs BY BURNING
Cheapest Way Where Farm Is Not
Near Enough to Town to Sell
Wood Conveniently.

A stumping denomination for the
purpose of deciding what method of
removing stumps was cheapest in that
section was recently put on by the
county agent Of Lincoln county, Miss.
A field with plenty of material for the
demonstration was selected and three
methods of removing the stumps were
tried-digging, pulling, and burning.
After careful estimates the farmers at
tbe demonstration and the county
agent decided that the cheapest way,
where the stumps removed were not
near enough to town to sell the wood
conveniently. was by burning. AS soon
as an air current or circulation was
started by digging and boring holes
the fire burned easily and In short
time the stump was wreck.

Effects of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor, at first
advantageously, but later usually, dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have flavor too mild to be sat
isfactory for stewing or fricassee. but
make splendid eating as broilers or
flyers. The delicacy of flavor usual
ly is lost In decidedly ole birds. AS
the bird grows older, the proportion
of flesh to bone usually increases. at
least up to the period Of full matur-
ity. Often the large masses OF flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
ture of poultry flesh, as in any kind
of meat. 1t toughens the fibers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. 1t may also affect the
distribution of flesh on the carcass In
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used, ten
der ones. In some birds, notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
trolled. Almost any poultry, however,
can safely be penned for a few days
before killing.
The difference between the flesh of
a plump chicken and Of a lean one
of similar kind and age Is due princi-
pally to the fat present. The skill of
the fattener, from the consumers
standpoint, lies not only In producing
the desirable amount of fat at the
least expense for food and care. but
also In getting the fat well distributed

Celery and chestnuts sometimes are
