Each man in this country the
past twelve months, according to
statistics, drank seven gallons of

statistics are not accurate,, yet

It is thought they were very
much dissatisfied with their new

enjoy some of the court proceed

which they invited to take part.
So they took French leave, and

Why An Editor Grows Gray,
It is not from age. Oh, no! Here
is what happened to a country editor:
The bridegroom was a man by the
name of Gunn, whose father, Abraham
gunn, was a leading citizen. The
editor wanted to give the young couple
a good send off, but turned in the copy
and trusted to a drunken printer to see
that it got into toe paper allright. The
next morning he read this announce
ment, headed “Gunsmith.’ The girl s
name was Smith.

dress of “white mule” instead of white

THE COST OF
I TICKS TO
FARMERS.
; Cost of An«hilaticn of Pest
Doubled By Increased
Value of Hides.
According to figures gathered by one
I of the of veterinary inspectors of the Bu¬
reau Animal Industry the presence
of the tick among the cattle of the
South not eniy lessens the value of the
cattle on the hoof out causes the gra¬
dings of the hides that have been in¬
fested with ticks as No. 4 quality.
The same hide, if free from tick
marks - wouId £ rade N °- 2. The differ
^£,’27^
hj ( i e 0 f Southern steers weighs 42
pounds, the presence of the tick in the
hide causes a loss in the hide alone of
more than $1.26 per hide. Government
specialists point out that the cost of
tick eradication is only about 50 cents
per head, so that if the counties make
a systematic campaign to eradicate the
tick the increase in value of the hide
alone would pay for the cost of tick
eradication and leave the farmer a net
profit of about 76 cents per hide,
Tennessee will probably be the first
state to be entirely free from quaran¬
tine for ticks. It alredy has eradicated
the tick in 51 counties and all that now
remain under quarantine are parts cf
Marion, Wayne, Hardeman, McNairy
and Decatur counties and all of Hardin,
Henderson and Chester counties. It is
hoped by Sept. 1, these counties will
b e f ree from ticks and the entire state
out of quarantine,
According to the specialists' of the
Department of Agricultu e, it has cost
less than 50 cents per head to eradicate
the tick in Tennessee, and the cattle
owners as a result have gained not Jess
than $7.00 per head, thus adding to the
value of their stock. There are some
500,000 cattle in the counties already
free from ticks, and the immediate
benefit to these owners has been not
Jess than $3,500,000. The cost of tick
eradication has been only $250,000, s >
that the investment paid, for itseir
nearly 14 times over in a very short
time. This does not include the addi¬
tional profits which come from the fact
that now that the cultivated fields are
made more productive by ihe increasa

Winning Against The Soil
Out in the northwest, at every pub
lie gathering of farmers, the subject 1
of “mining” the land comes up for
serious mid lengthy discussior, and the
p ac he is not only earnestly discoura
ged, it is vigorously condemned. ,
“Mining” the land means, primarily
digging out of the soil all the substance,
there is in it, without giving it any-;
thing in return. That is cultivating “
the ., land , , regularly, , , without ...
J every J year, J ’
. . .
er i izing \ .
A secondary ... of ‘minirg
J meaning b
the land, is cultivating the same crop
on it legularly, every year, either
without fertilizing it, or without allow¬
ing it to improve its own condition by
variation—diversity of crops. What
President Williams of the Georgia Ag¬
ricultural association had to say of this j
subject, at Cuthbert, recently, is wor¬

penalties the sinner against, the soil , has

which ... occasionally . .. to . . large

amounts to capital punishment.
Take, for example, the Florida freeze
in 1895. The agriculturists of
state had not “minded” their land in
the sense of cultivating without
li .Jig it. They had come to
c op-oranges with practica'ly no di
versification, and when vast groves
were trezeii to the stump, old men
