for three months, unable to even feed
myself. Doctors doctored me and I got
up, but have had bad health ever sines,
with soreness and weakness across my
back and in ray arms and legs. I final
ly took Zlron, and It has done ms
more good than any medicine I have
ever taken, and I Intend to take more
of it, for It Is the best medicine I ever
used. I have found it just what it is
recommended to be, and I am ready to
tell other suffering people that Ziron
helped me, and anxious to speak a
word of praise for it,”

INCOME TAXES
NEARLY 4 BILLION
Vast Sum Paid into The
Nation’s Coffers
RUN WAR BUI 10 WEEKS
For the year ending June 30 the
total internal revenue taxes collected
amounted to $3,649,000,000 of which
$2,839,083,000 came from income
and excess profits tax payments in
June and $885,619,000 from a multi
tude of miscellaneous sources.
Huge as these taxes seem in the
aggregate, collections for the entire
year were only enough to pay the na
tion’s bill for two and a half months
of war at the rate the government is
now spending money.
Next to income and excess profits
taxes, liquor taxes brought in the
most money, $443,838,000. Taxes
on cigars, cigarettes and other tobac
co products yielded $156,188,000.
It is planned to raise $8,000,000,-
000 in the new revenue bill, which
is now 7 being considered by congress.
The taxes collected during the
year previous amounted to only $809,-
393,000, showing in a striking way
the enormous increases made.
The State Bureau of Mar
kets, State Capitol, Atlanta,
is maintained by the State
and asks that you list any
Georgia farm products that
you have for sale or wish to
buy. A market bulletin is
issued weekly and your
name will be put on mailing
list if requested. This ser
vice is entirely free.
The war has entered its fifth and
let’s hope its last year. America is
just beginning to make her resources
felt. When once the tide has fully
turned against the Germans, the end
will be in sight.
Full Speed Ahead

FIT ANIMALS MAY BE
SORRY WORK STOCK
Collar And Trace Marks Show Recent
Service.
This is the season when the farm
er is looking forward and making plans
for his work animals for another year.
From now on for several months
great numbers of horses and mules
will change hands. Perhaps the ma
jority of these in Georgia will be ani
mals imported from other states and
brought here for sale looking fat and
fine.
The fat, improved mule or horse is
usually not ready for hard work, but
must first undergo a process of sea
soning, or, as we say, must become
“acclimated.” Southern farmers use
methods of feeding and different feed
stuffs than are used in other sections
of the country and the imported ani
mals must become accustomed to
these things before they are at their
best as work animals.
Many horses and mules develop dis
ease in one form or another before
they arrive at the farms where they
are to remain and do their work.
These diseases may vary all the way
from a-mere “cold” to pneumonia, in
fluenza, bronchitis, pleurisy and the
common distemper and are all classed
together under the designation of
“shipping fever.” When infection by
any of these respiratory troubles has
occurred the animal is more or less
debilitated and is incapacitated for
work for a length of time correspond
ing somewhat to the severity of the at
tack. During this time the sick ani
mal is of no value to the new owner,
but, on the other hand, is a source of
anxiety, expense, a nuisance generally
and many times a source of contagion
to the other animals on the farm.
Whenever possible new work stock
should be purchased near by. Ani
mals that are home raised should have
the preference. Next to these come
animals that have worked a year or so
in the neighborhood. Next in order
the animals in the hands of the dealer
that show the evidence of being accus
tomed to work as designated by the
presence of collar and trace marks.
Next and last of all the fat animal that
gives no evidenec of experience as a
work animal. —Dr. W. M. Burson, State
College of Agriculture.
