FARM DEMONSTRATOR
ISSUES STATEMENT
LEESBURG, Ga., May 7.-W. H. Sor
j rells, county farm demonstration
' agent, has issued the following inter
esting statement regarding progress of
that work in Lee county:
During January and February, we
spent much time checking hog chol
era. In a few places we lost a few
■ bogs, but in the main we were suc
cessful. Now there seems to be an
epidemic throughout the county of
! skin diseases- and constipation among
the hogs.
I Doubtless these troubles are caus
ed from parasites—lice and worms—
I and Improper digestion of food. Where
the skin is sore it should me treated
! with a .02 per cent solution of creolln
■ and later greased with crude oil.
1 Where hogs are wormy they should
; be given ont teacupfol of raw linseed
oil and one tablespoonful of turpen
; tine per hundred pounds of live weight.
And o n e of the best tonic you can get
is one bushel wood ashes, one bushel
charcoal, eight pounds lime, eight
pounds table salt, four pounds sulphur
and three pounds copperas. This
I should be mixed well in a dry place
■ where the swine will have free access
tc it at all times.
Keep lice off by greasinz with any of
the crude oil preparations. Plenty of
fresh water should be supplied at all
times, both to drink and to wallow in.
Don’t feed these useless and injurious
lice any longer. It don’t pay.

LEESBURG, May B.—(Special.’
The regular May term of Superior
court convened here Monday Judge
1 Itr.ejohn and Col. John Allen Fort,

The judge’s charge to the grand jury

along patriotic lines. A petition was
immediately sent the judge of the.
court, signed by many farmers, asking
a postponement until July, as the far
mers were too busy to attend now.
However, civil business was cut out to
an extent and jail cases were taken
up, all being of minor importance, and
court adjourned Tuesday afternoon

Stop Itching Eczema
k
Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
, eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
1 furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, SI.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, tetter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
i skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
