FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Preparing a Ration Suited to Horses
and Mules.
W. N. C., Broxton, Ga., writes:
I am preparing to grind a feed
of high grade as possible suitable
’ for mules and dairy cows from a
mixture of peavine hay, corn in
shuck and velvet beans. Please
tell mt. in what proportion to
mix these feeds after being
ground to make a high grade
feed.
It will be difficult for you to make
a satisfactory balanced ration for
mules or dairy cows out of a. mix
ture of the materials described in
your letter. Peavine hay would of
course have somewhat the same
composition and feeding value as al
falfa. Five pounds of alfalfa the
oretically possesses about as much
food value as three pounds of wheat
bran. One thousand pounds of pea
vine hay therefore may be said to
approximate in feeding value from
600 to 700 pounds of wheat bran.
Corn, cob, and shuck meal would
probably not have more tnan one
third of the feeding value of corn
alone. Velvet bean hay containing
a. fair amount of grain would have
about th© same composition as cow
pea hay. In making a mixture of
these materials, we would suggest
that you use 1,0.00 to 1,200 pounds
of high-quality cowpea hay along
with 400 to 500 pounds each of thor
oughly ground corn, cob, and shuck
WEal and velvet bean hay in which
e seed is included.
We do not believe, however, that
you will find thi s a particularly sat
isfactory ration. This mixture will
also have to come into competition
with many formulas made up of a
great variety of mixed feeds which
are being placed on the ma'rket by
experienced dealers who have the
advantage of a high-grade selling
agency at their command and whose
trade marks is also registered, thus
according them a very substantial
advantage over the man who only
has a few tons of mixed feeds to
sell. We do not believe you can
make a mixed feed and obtain any
more per ton for it than you could
from baling the cowpea and velvet
bean hay-and selling the corn direct
ly in the shuck. We have not
enough corn in Georgia at this time
to meet the requirements of our
farmers until the next harvest. Corn
should therefore sell readily. We
are also short on first-class rough
age.
A ration such as I have suggest
ed for you to prepare will suit the
needs of dairy cows in my judg
ment better than that of work stock.
The chances are that this ration may
be rather high in protein. You
should therefore feed a good, bright,
WIFE TAKES LAW TO HERSELF,
ADMITS FLOGGING HER RIVAL
"Goaded by Unfaithfulness" |
of Her Husband, She, Her
Daughter and Woman
Friend, Lay.on Lash
NEW ORLEANS, June 23.—Mr?.
John ' V\. Ball, wife of a wealthy
lumberman and banker of Alexa n
•dria, La., has admitted to a staff
representative of the New Orleans
Item that she, her daughter, Mrs.
Amelia Ball Jordan, and a friend,
Mrs. Leslie Hatchelle, on April 25
flogged Mrs. Lillian Bonnette, beauti
ful young matron, of that place, ac
cording to a copyrighted story pub
lished today by the item.
Mrs. Bonnette last week filed a
suit for $25,000 damages against
each member of the trio, the action
bringing the affair into the open for
the first time. Simultaneously it was
disclosed that the grand jury had
returned secret indictments against
the three women as a result of the
assault and that previously Mrs.
Ball and her daughter had been in
dicted for an alleged attempt to
shoot Ball. Ball left Alexandria sev
eral weeks ago and his whereabouts
is not known.
The admission of Mrs. Ball, ac- ;
cording to the Item, was made to
its representative in Alexandria
yesterday in the presence of Mrs.;
Balls counsel. Mrs. Ball said that,;
goaded by the "unfaithfulness” < : of i
thef man to whom site had been)
thirty-five years and the re-fl
of the "other woman” to re
litfquish her hold on her husband I
alter one break and a reconciliation,
her temper had run away with her |
and she had taken the law and the
punishment into her own hands. i
The trial of Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Jordan ;
and Mrs. Hatchelle has been set for i
the term of district court beginning l
October 25, after postponement last
month.
The indictments and the fact that
the case previously had been set
for trial were not disclosed until
after Mrs. Bonnette had filed her
damage suit.
WOMAN AILING
FOIA YEAR
Took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound —
Happy Results
Newcastle, Pa.—“l was all run
down and everybody thought I was
going into a de
cline. I had been
ailing for a year
with pains in my
right, side so that I
could hardly stand
on iny feet. When
I walked f felt as
if something was
falling. I was not
able to do any
work and had a
nurse most of the
time. She spoke
E. Pinkham’s Veg-
JI w
to me about Lydia 1
etable Compound, so I gave it a fair
trial. Some women think one bottle
should cure them, but I eid not stop
at that. I took mere and got better
and am able ever since to do my own
housework. There was a time, when
I would complain of not feeling well,
that my husband would say. ‘Go to the
doctor. ’ But now he will tell me to
get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s,
and it has always helped me. I have
had druggists tell me that they had
something better, but they don’t tell
me that now. for I take no other. I
have been taking the Vegetable Com
pound now for five vears. Any wo
man who cares to call or write. I will
be glad to tell her how it helped
me. ’ —Mrs. Mabel List Sherbahn,

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
mixed hay along with it, to work
stock in particular. All clases of
live stock, including dairy cattle, do
best when fed some dry roughage.
For this reason, it is best to feed
coarse crops such as peavine hay in
their natural form. The commercial
feeds which farmers buy ordinarily
do not contain as much dry rough
age in the form of hay as we are
sometimes led to believe. They do,
however, contain quite a variety of
grain by-products, which represent
the offal resulting from th© manu
facture of many human foods. The
great variety of materials at the
command of people who make mixed
feed gives them an advantage in
preparing formulas suited to the
needs of live stock which one sit
uated like yourself would find it dif
ficult to prepare in an economical
manner.
We are handling a large number
of live stock here on the college
farm representing varied breeds and
varied classes of animals. We have
found the method of procedure out
lined constitutes the most economical
and satisfactory way of disposing of
the very large amount of dry rough
age we are producing on the farm.
Spraying Beans with White Arsenic
T. H. R., Canton, Ga., writes:
Is it dangerous to spray bean
vines with white arsenate of lead
to kill the bean beetles? If so,
what should I use for this pur
pose ?
It vgould not do to spray bean
vines with white arsenate of lead.
You may use a. high-grade calcium
arsenate for this purpose provided
of course you mix the calcium arse
nate with an equal amount of hy
drated lime, which you can secure
without difficulty in the town where
you are located. It is essential that
you use the lime in question with
the calcium arsenate for the fol
lowing reasons:
There is more or less free arsen
lous acid in practically all of the
materials which contain this com
pound. The additional lime is used
therefore, to take up this free acid
and render the use of calcium arse
nate innocuous on that accqunt. If
you will proceed in the manner in
dicated, you may use calcium arse
nate for the purpose you have in
view with success and satisfaction.
I have used it in my own garden
this year, combining it with lime
in the manner suggested. It has
proven a very desirable material for
this purpose. It is important to re
member that calcium arsenate can
not be used in the vicinity of peach
nee, as it damages them very ma
terially. But for the particular
crops I have mentioned, it seems to
possess unusual merit.

Dear Auntie: Will you please let n jolly

believe I will take as a subject. "Cats.”
Cats are the most beautiful animals
that live. 1 think they help the farmers
in three different, ways, and the farmers
have never stopped to think how much good

colors and mew so beautifully, that makes
them sound so sweet. What would we do
without cats, for they help us out a lot.
Some people can't stand cats, and some are

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here I
come again for admittance into this num
berless crowd of boys and girls. Aunt Julia.
I thank you from the depths of my heart
for printing my other letter and 1 want to
thank the many cousins who wrote to mo.
I highly appreciated all of the letters, hut
sorry I could not answer all of the cousins'
letters, but it was impossible to answer
them all, there were so many. Come on, you
Alabama boys and gills, the other states
are getting ahead What do you cousins
do for pastime these long rainy days? Go
fishing, I guess, tor that is (he order of
the day now, Roy Eunice, come on, the
letter you wrote to the Council was extra
fine. I guess It. Is work time with a great
many of you cousins; it is with me. You
know, we have four acres in cotton, and
five in corn, and five of us to work, so
you know we will be busy almost all the
time. Cousins, I notice most of you nil
tnke a subject, but I will not this time, as
this letter- may go to the waste basket.
Hope it won’t. Well, cousins, what do you
all think of such cool weather for this time
of the year? I don't know, but I believe
the end of time is about at hand, for there
is too much pride now. People study more
about finery 'than they do the kind of lives
they live. I don't say all of the people,
but a large majority. The Bible truly says
that every knee shall bow and every tongue
confess, and I believe this will come true
some time in the near future. T guess I
had better close, for I may have already
broken the rules: hope not. Hope you nil
haven’t forgotten me. I wrote to the Coun
cil about seven morfths ago. Will try to
answer all letters and cards received. An

sport and do not dance or attend parties,

so many people who pretend to be unlucky

themselves a little to look at the sunny side

Dear miss nix—-r amUn mva

I wonder wh at

/ ’-11
■>--.. -ni«„
vort of a wife she will make. I
want a wife who has lots of pep
•and ambition, the pu«h-and-pull kind,
who will help me to get on and
make something of myself. I don t
want a wide who is satisfied with
anything, who is slow and easy go
ing, who has the habit of letting
some one else do all the planning.
Do you think that after this girl
is married she will buck up and
have some backbone and initiative?
Is it just her misfortune that she
is handicapped by too strict, old- i
fashioned parents?
JOHN. -|
Answer: I would like to shake i
hands with you, .John. You ar© a |
man after my own heart, because I i
am like you. I never have been able !
to see what there was so attractive
to men in that Patient Griselda ,
stuff. I should think that the meek
wife, who had no mind of her own
whatever, and who let everybody
els© do her thinking for her. and
tell her where to get on. and where
to get off, would bore her husband
to tears.
My ideal woman is like yours—a
peppy lady, who is full of ginger,
who is alive to her finger tips, who
is electric and simply seething with
energy. She is the kind of a wom
an who is a go-getter and who is
always right behind her husband,
pushing him along, making a place
for him and the children.
That is the type of wife who is
a real helpmate. “She took the
chances I wouldn’t and I followed
your mother blind.” says the dying
old captain in Kipling's poem, tell
ing I his son how he piled up his
millions.
But, of course, on the other hand,
you must bear in mind that the.
ambitious, determined, independent
woman isn't nearly such a soothing
companion to live with as the meek
little mouse who has been under
mother's thumb all of her life. Ths
girl who has had spirit thorough- ,
ly broken, who is accustomed to I
giving in and to deferring to other]
people's wishes, probably will think]
that you are an oracle and never]
dream of such a thing as disputing!
your august authority. So there may]
be consolations in the situation
after all.
I
And, of course, after marriage \
she may change. There are few worn- I
en as much afraid of their husbands i
as the.y are of their mothers.
Dent- Miss Dix- —I have been mar
ried a little over a year and am just
beginning to understand my hus
band. He has expensive tastes and
little money. He will go out with
the bunch and have a good time to
night, even if he has to go hungry’
tomorrow.
For example, I needed some shoes
and his crowd wanted us to go to a
roadhouse with them, and he asked
nte which 1 would rather do. hav© ;
the shoes or be a good sport, and ;
h© was quite disgusted with me ]
when I said I would rather have th©
shoes. He wastes all of our money]
on good times, so that we have none ]
for the comforts of life. Otherwise, j
he is kind and of loving disposition, I
EASY ID KILL AND RID
YOUR PLACE OF FLIES
Simple Home Prescription Works
lake Magic—Not a Poison But
Fatal to Insect Pests —Harm-
less to Stock
Flies are, without, doubt, the most
dangerous and annoying pests with which
the farmer has to contend. Th" loss in
value of livestock and lowered milk pro
duction as well as th" spreading of df’- i
ease has made this menace the object ’
of study by the world’s greatest scien
tists.
s z\ X \aZ
Now, R. B. Grant, widely known chem
ist, .tas announced the perfection of a
simple prescription, easily prepared at
home, by which you can rid your house, .
barns and livestock of all these insect
pests almost instantly and with no trou
ble at all. It. is fatal to flies of all i
kinds and simian pests such as chiggers,
mosquitoes and moths.
This new discovery which is called I
"Fly-Kill," is not a poison. Though it .
kills insect pests like magic, farm ani- j
mals and human beings are not affected,
by it at all. This preparation is so
powerful as a repellant that flies will .
not tome near stock or buildings where ■
it has been used. Fly-Kill is particular- j
]y valuable for cows and hoiscs as flies
do untold harm to these animals.
So confident is Mr. Grant that his dis
covery v ,11 quickly rid your entire place
of all insect pests that be offers to send
any leader of this paper a. full siz" $2.00
prescription for only sl. With this a«
a base you can mix at home enough
Fly-Kill to last an entire season and be
free from these pests
You need send no i nney just your ,
name and address to R. B. Grant, 3502
Mutual Bldg.. Kansas City, Mo., and the I
prescription will be mailed at once. Mix
it and us> according to the timple direc- •
tions. If at the end of thirty minutes ,
you do not find the insect p°sts have
vanished, th" prescription costs you noth
ing. This offer is fully guaranteed.

but I can't live on love and being a
good sport alone. What shall I do?
INEZ.
* « «
Answer: The most, difficult task
that any wife, ever undertakes is to
sew up the holes in a wasteful hus
band's pocket. Why any man, who
has intelligence enough to be out
of the Home for the Incurably Fee
ble-Minded, can want to blow in his
money for food and drink for a
grasping, grafting crowd of ne'er-do
wells. for that is the way the bunch
always sizes up, nobody knows. But
there ar© plenty of men who do and
who are just like your husband,
Inez.
» * »
They will spend a week's or a
month's salary on a couple of hours’
spree, They will invite a crowd for
dinner, and owe the grocer. They
will buy drinks for rounders, while
the baby needs milk. They are will
ing for their families to starve, if
only they can be called “good sports”
in public.
♦ ♦ ♦
A wife can do nothing toward get
ting ahead when she has a husband
of this sort. She cannot stem the
tide of his wastefulness. What she
saves through months of pinchrng
economies, he will throw away in
five minutes. And the worst of it
is that if she tries to restrain him
too much she alienates him from her.
He will not stand for her continual
thrift campaign.
* * ♦ ♦
The only thing you can do is to
save your own money and by tact
and diplomacy try to make him see
that the good sport is always a bad
ender, who finishes his days in the
poorhouse.
* * *
Dear Miss Dix—A man loves a
girl, but will not marry her because
he does not earn enough to keep
her in comfort. He says he will
not marry her until he makes
enough to satisfy her slightest wish
and make her so happy and content
ed that the memory of her married
life will always be beautiful.
But the girl says that she would
be happy just to have him, and her
memories would be just a s beautiful
even if she had to work hard and
deny herself everything that is con
ducive to ease, and pleasure. Which
is right, the man or the. girl,
NINETEEN.
• * *
Answer: The man is right not
to be willing to marry until he is
able to support his wife in comfort,
but he is wrong if he waits to marry
until he can satisfy her every wish.
That is an impossibility, anyway. No
one is ever satisfied.
• ♦ ♦
The girl is right in thinking that
luxury is not essential to happiness
in marriage. The womah whose hus
band gives her love, and tenderness,
and sympathy, and understanding,
can be satisfied and happy with very
little else.

SLAYING OF TWO JAPANESE '
STIRS NEW TOKIO STORM
“Jingo" Newspapers Take
Full Advantage of Opportu
nity to Inflame Population
Against All Americans
TOKIO, June 23.—(8y the Associ
ated Press.) —Evidences of the keen
est resentment against America
broke out here after receipt of the
news of the slaying of two Japanese
rear San Pedrc last week but with
the arrival of more detailed dis
patches, indicating, in the opinion
of government officials, that the
murders had no connection .with the
Japanese-American situation, excite
ment subsided somewhat.
The news of the slaying was dis
pt' yed with the greatest prominence
in all the newspapers.
Heading “jingo” publications ap
peared with inflammatory state
ments against America, prompted
by the murders.
Police took special measures for
the safety of American residents
owing to the serious proportions the
situation assumed until more com
plete advices were received.
Officials declared today that, ip
the absence of authoritative reports
from official sources, it is unwar
ranted to connect the murders with
tn© situation arising from passage
of the Japanese exclusion measure
of the immigration bill by the Unit
ed States congress. A majority of
government heads and of the press
join© din urging self-restraint and pa
tience.
While the more influential of the
vernacular newspapers withhold edi
torial comment on the San Pedro
affair, the" jingo”, press, including
the Kokumin, Yorozu, Yamato and
Chuo, comment bitterly and at great
length and quote indignant state
ments of nationalistic leaders.
Government Action Urged
In a typical outburst the Yorozu
points out the "danger to the lives
of Japanese in the United States,”
declaring it is a mere waste of time
to argue with America, and urging
the government to take stronger
measures. . The newspaper recites
alleged incidents of American vio
lence toward foreigners, refers to
American “imperialism” and “jingo
ism” and concludes its article with
the statement:
“Let the Japanese people 'ask
themselves how long tney can with
stand the series of American un
friendly demonstrations and persecu
tions.”
The Taikosha or “great forward
society,” which was responsible for
the recent invasion by an armed
band of a dance at. the Imperial
hotel, and which is the most active
of the “patriotic” societies at pres
ent, announced in advertisements
appearing in seven of the most in
fluential newspapers that it will do
its utmost to protect Americans in
Japan. The advertisements urge
the nation to maintain its dignity
and prudence in keeping with the
“samurai” spirit.
Since the demonstration at the
Imperial hotel, the Taikosha has
en the utmost care to dispel imputa
tions that it is anti-American. Lead
ers of the organizaton declare that
its purpose is solely to arouse the
Japanese nation from its- ways of
sloth and luxury and to adopt the
Spartan simplicity and loyalty c 4
ancient days.
Gyonosuke Shimizu, president o£
the Taikosha, issued a reassuring
statement in a message to the peo
ple of America, handed to the As
sociated Press today.
“Do not worry ;for the safety of
your brethren in this country,” the
message read. “They are safe and
will be protected. We have al
ready announced that anybody
molesting American residents we
would treat as a common foe of hu
manity and the Japanese people.
We do not fear to meet you on the
battlefield, but we love peace too
much to do anything calculated to
bring on war.
“Take it from us that your coun
trymen here are entirely unmolested,
although there are demonstrations
voicing resentment of the Japanese
against the new immigration law.
These demonstrations are aliped
against the American nation knd
not against the helpless individuals
staying here and trusting to' the
Japanese people for protection.
Their trust will not be betrayed.
The air seems electrified for the
moment and it is the duty both of
Americans and Japanese to do their
utmost to prevent any untoward in
cidents.
“We hope you will co-operate with
us in this common purpose.”
Yokohama police authorities have
ordered a more strict control ov6r
agitation against Americans and a
more complete protection for United
States nationals resident there.
The police have prohibited the
holding of a meeting which has been
called for June 29 in Yokohama
with the object of protesting against
the recently enacted United States
immigration law which bars Japa
nese from that country. •
July 1 is expected to be the next
great day for anti-American demon
strations as that is the day the
exclusion becomes effective. The
black dragon society, a patriotic
organization, has called a mass
meeting in Tokio on that day, and
the Yytio reservists, who also have
been energetic in protesting the '
American action, also are meeting
at that time.
Special detachments of police are
guarding the United States embassy
and consulate general here and the
consulate at Yokohama.
