PROTECT THE PARTRIDGE

The quail, or Texas Bob White, is
the farmers friend, and the strongest
enemy to the cotton boil weevil.
Why not save the quail from the de
stractive hunter and thereby de-
stroy the SO destructive boil weevil?
Last year, among four quail killed
one had IL and another IL boil weev-
lis in its craw. 500 or 800 quail in a
100-acre cotton field the boil weevils
would be few. if any, in number in
that cotton field.
Who destr Us the qnails Not the
farmer. The hunter is now fortify-
ing himself stronger thansyer With
dogs and gun to destroy the quail.
Now. farmer friend, why not protect
your hest friends in the cotton field
and let them in turn protect your
cotton from the destructive boil
weevil?

BUILD POULTRY SHEDS
FOWLS SHOULD Be PROTECTED FROM THE
COLD WEATHER.
BY JOSEPH METTE

10 building poultry house tbs
lowest temperature that will be ex-
perienced in locality where the
house is to be built should be kept
in mind, because the comfort of the
fowls to be housed is the main point
to be considered. While it is pos
sible to keep out the cold, very few
houses are built that will keep out
the heat. Therefore it is the wealth
er ol the col st months that We
must contend with and depend on
ventilation to let the heat escape.
Any shed is good enough for the
summer months, but during the cold
winter weather we must try to se-
cure comfort for the fowls if we OBJ
tain the greatest profit. IT is the
winter laying hen that makes the
largest profit. The house should
face the south. The walls and roof
of the poultry house should be abso-
lutely wind-pr oof, except the trout
which should be open, with wire net
ting to keep out marauders. Cold
nights have muslin curtain to
drop down and roll it up the next
morning.
The poultry house should be built
on brick or concrete piers at least Is
inches above the ground. The floor
should be perfectly tight to prevent
drafts and keep out the rats.
A flock of hens having been proper
ly culled, fed good grain feed, morn
ing and evening in a scratch pen;
fed good commercial mash, as well
as being supplied with green food,
consisting of sprouted oats, rye, rape
or barley, and housed in a good
comfortable house, will pay for their
trouble and profit besides.

SUPERVISORS TO FIX ROAD,
SCHOOL AND COUNTY TAYES

To The Tax Payer:
The most important step in fixing
your taxes will be taken at the next
meeting OF the Board of Supervisors
beginning Monday, November 7th,
1921. Then the Board WILL FIX
THE ANNUAL TAX RATES, FOR
THE COUNTY, FOR THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS, AND FOR THE ROAD
DISTRICTS. In some counties, the
taxes imposed by the Supervisors,
last year, were six times as great as
the State tax, and most of the State
tax was returned to the counties for
the public schools and Confederate
pensions. Some counties received
more from the State than the totol
state tax collected from all the tax
payers in the county.
The development OF our public
school system and the construction
OF good roads are desired by all; vet
these are largely responsible for the
increase made In taxes in recent years.
You may verify this for yourself by
comparing your tax receipt for last
year with that for ten years ago.
The Supervisors then determine
whether these expenses will be con-
tinued, Increased or curtailed for the
present fiscal year. Their decision
then determines whether your taxes
will be more or less than last year.

FARM AND GARDEN HINTS


Many folks think that the effort TO
eradicate tuberculosis among cattle
is to save the cattle. Or course this
Is true in measure, but the impor-
tant reason Is to protect ones child
rem and family. In other words the
purpose is to protect the human race
instead of the cow race.
There is not country under the
sun that is free of tuberculosis, the
great human scourge. Until 1882
there was no positive way Of dag
nosing it, but since that time the
medical profession knows something
about the disease; its cure and pre-
vention. A worldwide effort is be-
ing made to stamp out. One of the
greatest sources of infection is milk.
The New York State Board of Health
has found that In III cases OF post
mortems among children between
the ages of five and sixteen Az had
died with form Of "c0w" tubercu-
losis. OF 1853 children under five
years Of age 78 suffered the same
kind Of malady. The board OF health
of Connecticut makes the following
assertion;
Use OF milk from tuberculosis COWS
constitutes distinct menance to
public health. The findings of all
investigators show that very large
proportion of tuberculosis in young
children is OF the bovine type"
This Ia tragic when we realize that
COWS can be examined by experts
and the diseased ones done away
with. We owe 1t to our children TO give
them clean milk from healthy cows.

"The patrons of the Philadelphia

'The Grand Jury believes that the
County Jail is safe, but suggest that
it be ventilated"
"We find the general conduct of
the County in serious condition,
Crime is evidently on the increase.
It Is sad fact that this year has, up
to this time, recorded more homi-
cffes and more attempts at homi-
cides than any one year in the recol-
lection OF anyone now living. And
we believe that the cause, is the fact,
that all kinds OF Intoxicating liquors
are being sold throughout the county.
The pistol is the banefnl curse that
follows in the wake OF this destroy
