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.

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.”

Women as Well as Mon are Made Miserable
by Kidney and Biadder Trouble.
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. Y., on every bottle.

Woman’s Beauty
Some women retain their beauty to an advanced
age. But women, who regularly endure pain, age
rapidly, for suffering leaves its lasting marks on
them.
Nearly all women suffer more or less with some
form of female trouble. It should not be neglected.
Avoid the pain—treat yourself at home by taking
Cardui, as thousands of other women have done.
Begin at once and give Cardui a fair trial.
It Will Help You
'STrs. Katie Burlison, Goreville, 111., tried Cardui and writes:
“I suffered with female troubles, and was so sick I could not stand
on my feet. Finally I began tcf take Cardui, and soon began to
mend. Now lam able to do all my housework and am in much
better health than I was before.” Try it.
