IF THE Republicans of Kent COun-
ty are wise, they will pay especial
attention to the attitude of the men
who aspire to place on their tickets,
as members of the legislature. The
question as to modification of the
liquor laws and enforcement of laws
of all kinds, will have greater weight
with both Democrats and Republi-
cans, than will the support of men
on their own ticket, who are known,
or who are thought to be favorable
to the wet advocates who want pro-
hibition broken down. All things
else being even, party lines on the
prohibition question, will be ignor-
ed; so, for that reason due consid-
Grafton will have to be given to can
didates, if they are to win.

LONG-LIvED HARNESS


For wsahing harness use tepid wa
ter, a neutral soap, such as CASTLE
or white toilet soap, and a sponge OF
fairly stiff brush. Hardened grease
may be removed without damage to
the leather by scraping with dull
knife. Rinse in clean, tepid water,
and allow the harness to hang in a
warm place until it is no longer wet,
but still damp. Then oil it and leave
in a warm place for "a hours before
using it. Harness should be oiled
or creased while still damp, other
wise it may take up so much grease
that it will pull out of shape or take
I'D sand and grit. For heavy har-
ness use literally a mixture of tai
low and cod oil, neat's-foot oil and
tallow, or any or all Of these with
wool grease, to make a paste hav-
ing about the consistency of butter.
Rub the oil or grease, warm to the
hand, thoroughly into the leather
while it is still damp from the wash
ing. After the harness has hung in
a warm room overnight, remove the
excess of oil with a clean, dry, cloth.

VITAL SEED CORN

A good way to dry ears of seed
corn is to string them, suspending
the strings of ears in an open shed
or loft, the ears not being permitted
to touch one another.
The vitality of seed corn often is
reduced by leaving it in a sack or
pile for even day after gathering.
With some moisture in the cobs and
kernels, the ears begin to sour or
mildew in a remarkably short time
during warm weather. If left on the
plant long after ripening, the ker-
nels may sprout or mildew during
warm, wet weather or be injured by
freezing.
Seed ears should be picked, there
fore, as soon as thoroughly ripe and
placed where they will be safe. If
they contain much moisture when
picked they must be stored in such
a way that there will be free cir
culation of air around each ear.

GIVE CALVES A CHANCE

Diarrhea, or scours, a very COM
mon and often persistent disease of
calves, always hinders their growth
and development. The most impor-
tant causes of the disease are irreg-
ular feeding, overfeeding, sudden
change of feed, fermented feeds, the
feeding of dirty or sour milk or milk
of diseased COWS, the use of dirty
milk pals or unclean feed boxes, and
damp, dirty stables.
AS soon as scours is discovered,
separate the affected calf from the
others and carefully cleanse and dis
infect the pen. The feed should be
reduced Immediately to abount one
half, milk pals cleaned and steriliz-
ed. feed boxes cleaned and disinfect-
ed, and any other causes mentioned
above eliminated.
A few of the more common prepa-
rations used to treat the disease are
blood meal, a teaspoOnful at feed;
white of egg; limewater. A dose Of
four drops of formalin TO each pint
of milk has been used to advantage,
and a drench of three ounces of cas-
tor oil followed by a teaspoonful of
mixture of one part salOl and two
of subnitrate of bismuth also is rec
commended.

DUST AND LICE

A dust bath can not be depended
on to rid poultry of lice and mites.
Some fowls seldom dust themselves,
and those which dust freely never
rid themselves of the pests COM
pletely. A dust bath does add to the
comfort of the chickens, especially
when they are closely confined. A
box about 2 feet square, or larger,
containing ordinary road dust or fine
dirt, may be used for the bath. 1t
should be kept under cover, prefer
ably outside of the chicken house.
Methods which will accomplish
complete eradication are, however,
much to be preferred. All species of
lice attacking poultry may be killed
by the application of sodium f1uOride
among the feathers next to the skin.
Do not use the material too freely
on young chickens. In applying the
powder, put one pinch on the head,
one on the neck, two on the back,
one on the breast, one below the
vent, one on the tail, one on each
thigh, and one scattered on the un-
derside of each wing when spread.
Sodium f1uoride may also be used
for this purpose in the form of a
ip-three-fourths to one ounce of
the chemical to the gallon of water.
For treatment of large flocks this is
the most economical and expeditions
method, but should only be used on
warm, sunny days.

NEGLECTING THE MOST ATTRACTIVE

Cottage Hill is within the city limits; thus Cottage
Hill residents have to pay the taxes as residents
OF the valley section; but Cottage Hill has no paved
Streets Cottage Hill has supply; thus Cottage
Hill has no fire protection, and that makes their in
surance rates higher.

based on TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTA-
TloN Cottage Hill residents are taxed but they aren't
given representation They have help pay for all the
city convenences provided for the of the city, BUT
THEY DON'T GET ANY OF THEM
The Board of Commissioners have agreed to do
something about the street paving, but what about
city water and fire protection? If they don't get it
they will be perfectly justified in banding together and
refusing to pay taxes until they DO GET THEM!
And they talking of doing just that!
Cottage Hill possess unusual residential advantage
