DISEASES OF CATTLE Bulletin on Treatment Issued By State Agriculture Department METHOD TOJJESTROY TICKS The Bulletin, Which is Now Ready For Distribution Gives Method For Fighting Tick Evil. Atlanta, Ga.—There has just been Issued by the department of agricul ture at the state capitol, bulletin No. 50, which contains the ‘law authoriz ing control of contagious and infec tious diseases of animals and regula tions concerning cattle ticks and Tex as or tick fever,” which is to be had by the planters, dairymen and live stock raisers of Georgia upon applica tion at the department of agriculture. This bulletin, according to those who have read it, is one of thp most interesting which has recently been issued. It was prepared by Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture R. F. Wright, who is in charge of the cam paign to drive the cattle tick from Georgia, assisted by Professor E. L. Willoughby, director of the Bureau of Live Sto.ck and Animal Husbandry near Griffin. In addition to the laws on this sub ject there is also contained the rules and regulations concerning cattle tick and Texas tick fever, promulgated by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, which went into effect in this state on Octobed 1, 1909. There is a history of the tick and also the fevers which have so greatly retarded the cattle raising industry up to this date. But, perhaps the most interesting section of this bulletin, is under the caption: “How to free cattle and pas tures of itcks,’ which contains the most improved methods of combating this growing evil, the most methods being outlined as follows; Greasing the animals all over thor oughly with cotton seed oil, fisL oil, or Beaumont crude petroleum will as sist in preventing the ticks from get ting upon them and destroy the ticks already on them. A mixture of one gallon of kerosene, one gallon of cot ton seed oil, and one pound of sulphur has proved effective when used two or three times a week during the tick season. It should be applied with a sponge, syringe, brush, mop or broom. The bulletin is handsomely illus trated and is sure to make a distinct hit among those into whose hands it falls. It has just been delivered by the state printer and is now ready for distribution. MISS HENNING HEADS D. A. R. Savannah Gets the Next Meeting of Revolution Daughters.

GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. hen the legislature provided for the probe of conditions at the state sanitarium it failed to take care oi the witnesses, from a financial stand point As a consequence, when Thom as Poole and M. H. Poole of Paulding, county presented orders from the committee for compensation as wit nesses in the investigation, they met with an unexpected refusal. Comp troller General Wright carefully ex amined the resolution under which the probe was authorized and found that, while the legislature had made due provision for the pay of the leg islators, it had made none for the witnesses. So, unless the legislature acts at its next sesion, the chances are that the expenses of the witness es mill be borne out of their own pockets. Governor Brown has signed and sent checks for SI,OOO each to the eleven district agricultural schools of the state, this money coming from the inspetcion fee fund, according to pro vision made, by the legislature for the support of these ' institutions. Up to date these schools have received something less than $6,000 each. They have been feeling the need of money and several days ago Governor Brown drew checks for SI,OOO for each oi the schools from an appropriation fund provided by the legislature, but found after a consultation with At torney General Hart and Comptroller General Wright that he would be un able to send these checks. This re sulted from the arrangements made for the support of the schools. It was provided by the legislature that they should be supported by the money coming from inspection fees, and that each school should have as much as SIO,OOO provided the fees amounted to that. Since, however, It was not be lieved they would ever amount to that, the legislature provided a spec ial fund of $22,000 or $2,000 a school, to be given to them to make up the deficiency, or as much of it. as that sum would cover. In other words, if the inspection fees should amount to SIO,OOO a year for each school, then this appropriation would not be need ed and would not be used. If these fees gave the schools $9,000 a year then the governor would be empower ed to draw checks from the special fund for SI,OOO to make up the SIO,OOO. In no case should the schools receive more than SIO,OOO. However, the gov ernor is not allowed to use his discre tion in the matter. He cannot act upon belief. He must he certain. For this reason he is not allowed to send checks for the $2,000 due these schools until the year is over and it is proved beyond a doubt that the schools will not be taken care of out of the proceeds of inspetcion fees alone. At present, accrding to well-in formed parties, however, the schools will not receive from the fees more than $6,000, which added to the spec ial fund will make just SB,OOO, leaving the total receipts of the institutions $2,000 under the mavimum allowed by law. Coal mining in northern Georgia will in a very short time receive a great impetus, and the Durham dis trict will begin to show greater out put than at any time in its history. Upon the increase of the industry in that section' four hundred more men will be needed to carry on the work. Both the Durham Coal and Coke company and the Lookout Mountain Coal and Coke company will largely increase the extent of their opera tions. Great improvements are con templated, and the capacity of the works is to be largely increased. They will together employ about one thous and men Instead of six hundred, ap proximately, now used. The two con cerns, in no way allied but very friendly, have an aggregate output of from eight hundred to one thous and tons a day at present. The in vestment to be made in opening mines will be about SIOO,OOO. About one hundred houses for miners are also to be built. In a decision just handed down in the Morris Cohen and Sam Loeb cases from the Fulton county criminal court, the state court of ap peals held that it is a criminal act to keep liquor on one’s business prem ises, entirely irrespective of the pur pose for which it is kept. To show that the said liqucr is kept for sale, the court declares is entirely Irrele vant and immaterial to the proof of the accusation. The opinion is as fol lows: “The prohibition statute of 1907 declares that it shall not be lawful for anv person to keep on hand at hi* place of business any intoxicating li quor The criminal act is the keep on hand ar* it is wholly immaterial for what purpose that intoxicating li quor is kept.” Joseph C.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, _ vigor and cheerful ness aoon disappear when the kidneys are -fftUKT out of order or dis . Kidney trouble has ]] become so prevalent yf/f nfll - , I that it is not uncom /t mon * or n c bild to be LI B k° rn a fib cte <l with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- < cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may ictHSH S have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, Home of Swamp-Root including many of the thousands of testi monial letters received from sufferers who found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N.
