FISHERS FEAR MONSTER EEL
Giant Deep-Sea Reptile Attacks Men
as Well as Destroying the
Shellfish.
Fishermen not only hate the mon¬
ster muraena—they fear him. He
robs the sea of shellfish and other
inhabitants that the fishermen want
him to leave for their nets, in ad¬
dition, he isn’t backward about at¬
tacking a fisherman now and then.
This bold outlaw received its name
from the Romans.
The muraena is a deep-sea eel. His
weapons of attack are two rows of
sharp teeth, strong enough to crush
the hard-shelled fish on which he
feeds. They range in size from snake¬
like creatures, about a foot long, in
the Mediterranean, to monsters six
and eight feet long.
These giants the fisherman fears,
for they will attack him either in or
out of the water. Their bodies are
spotted or decorated in varied colors.
For the most part these eels in¬
habit seas in the tropic or temperate
zones, hut a few will ascend rivers
where there are tides.
REALLY CALL OF THE WILD
Physician Describes Spring Fever
Feeling as Return of Primitive
Impulse in Man.
Spring fever is not a disease, but
an expression of a desire to chuck
one’s job and answer the call to the
wild, according to Dr. W. A. Sawyer,
secretary of. the California state
board of health.
“Whether man is descended from a
monkey or from Adam and Eve, who
roamed about the Garden of Eden,
there is that inherent longing to play
and bask in the sun when spring first
appears,” said Doctor Sawyer. “It
is certain that, our forefathers,
whether man or monkey, used to cele¬
brate the opening of spring by lazily
basking in tlie sun, and it is that
longing on our part to do likewise,
which we call spring fever.”
PASSPORT TO THE FRONT.
The only passport to the front
which it not fraught with a thousand
difficulties is a simple little tele¬
gram. With it a woman—it is near¬
ly always a woman—can leave Lon¬
don, get aboard ship, pass through
Boulogne, and arrive at the front
without any other document, the
London Chronicle states. But it is
not a passport that any woman would
wish to have, for that little telegram
is sent only to the relative of some
soldier abroad who is dangerously ill.
The church army has a special
branch which looks after the woman
who receives the sad summons. The
army sisters meet her in London;
she stays the night, if need be, in one
of their homes. She is escorted to
the train for the front, and is met at
Boulogne. She gets to the base hos¬
pital, and then her dear boy sees her
and smiles happily, and, perhaps, re¬
ceives his last promotion. But very
often these dangerous cases recover,
and there are joyous hours before the
journey home is made.
The war office helps women in very
poor circumstances, and the church
army frequently makes the way easy,
too.
NO ESCAPE.
“Do you think you will succeed in
arresting that criminal who writes
you impudent letters?”
“Yes,” replied the police officer;
“if we don’t get him on this charge
we’ll get him on something else. I
understand he uses an automobile,
and sooner or later he’s bound to get
arrested under the traffic regula¬
tions.”

“The time, the place and the girl

“True. The girl is usually half

SORE SHOULDERS OF HORSES
Don't Let Animals Work Single Hour
in Ill-Fitting Collars—Be Watch¬
ful in Spring.
(By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Ag¬
ricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
We know how annoying it Is to be
obliged to lay a horse off in the miust
of spring’s work, on account of sore
shoulders or sore neck.
Do not forget that it is your own
fault.
Some men always make sore shoul¬
ders, some never do. A good man is
often seen in front of his horses, ad¬
justing their collars and hames. Don’t
let a horse work an hour in an Ill
fitting collar.
The greatest care is needed in liio
spring when work first starts, lor the
horse will shrink and the collar will
soon be too large. A collar that is
too large will injure the shoulders
more than one that is too tight.
Imagine a man trying to play base¬
ball before his hands have become
toughened. A horse works with his
shoulders. Keep them well. Look at
them several times a day. Keep the
shoulders and the collar clean. It' a
shoulder gets sore it is the driver's
fault; hold him responsible.
“WARBLE” GRUBS IN SPRING
Presence of Insects Is Found in Tu¬
mors on Backs of Cattle—
Plan for Removing.
(By G. VV. HOWARD, Minnesota Station.)
Owners of cattle should be on (he
lookout for warbles on the hacks of
their animals this spring.
Evidence of the presence of these
files is found in tumors or warbles
on the backs of cattle. In the spring
or early summer from these warbles
drop grubs which burrow into the
ground and after about a month
emerge as flies. These flies lay their
eggs on the legs of cattle, the cattle
lick the eggs off, and after a time tire
warbles appear on the backs of tho
cattle.
The grubs may be removed by pres¬
sure around tlie warbles, and then
crushed; or they may bo destroyed by
the injection of grease or oil Into the
openings of the tumors.
In Europe from 20 to 10 drops of
tincture of iodine is sometimes in¬
jected to kill the grubs.
PORTABLE RACK FOR FEEDING
So Simple in Construction That Bill

It Is Easily Moved.
This race is so simple of construc¬
tion that we give no material bill for

BUSINESS OF THE BROOD SOW
Failure to Produce Good-Sized Litters
and Nourish Them Often Due
to Lack of Milk.
The business of the brood sow is to
produce good-sized litters of healthy
pigs and nourish them liberally until
weaning time. In so far as she fails
in this she fails in the purpose for
which she is kept.
The farmer who keeps a half dozen
or a dozen sows for breeding purposes
finds half of them, perhaps, capable
of fulfilling the maternal function
well, while the other half do it only in¬
differently, Quite as often as not the
difficulty is the lack of capacity to
give milk enough for the litter, and
the pigs are in a state of semi-star¬
vation throughout the entire nursing
period.
RIDDING PASTURES OF BURS
Pests Not Only Cause Annoyance to
the Sheep Owner, but Decrease
Price of Wool.
Nothing is so trying to the sheep
owner as burs. Be as careful as he
will, these pests will spring up, caus¬
ing not only annoyance, but often loss.
A fleece infected with matted burs al¬
ways sells for less than clean wool.
Thus, burs are a direct loss to every
flock keeper.
The remedy? Only one—rid the pas¬
ture fields. That's another story, if
there are many, but cultivated crops,
a system of rotation, and constant use
of the hoe will rid any farm of this
serious weed pest.

Hundreds of Other Towns, Not Shown, Near and Adjacent
to These, Have Been Similarly Benefited
The hearing in before --■ - = ■ -...... == \
progiess the Railroad Commission of Georgia, which began on August 17th, seeks as one of Its ob* \
jects to readjust and equalize the freight rates on shipments between the cities and towns wholly within Georgia, by removing
discriminations, so that freight rates to and from towns in Georgia, similarly situated, will be the same and no city can ship
at a less rate than any other town to points equally distant and similarly situated.
Unless this readjustment is eftected much of the improved condition possible by reason of the readjustment of interstate
freight rates, ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and effective in Georgia since January 1st, 1916 will be lest
to Georgia shippers.
interstate readjustment has tremendously improved the rate condition of approximately two thousand towns In
Georgia. T hey were formerly at a disadvantage as compared with their neighboring so-called basing point cities, on ship¬
ments into Georgia, or on what is commonly known as “inbound freight.”
T he proposed equally Georgia, or intrastate readjustment, seeks to equalize, as far as possible, the freight rates between Geor¬
gia points distant and similarly situated.
The detailed and striking improvement shown by reason of the reduced interstate freight rates, already in effect in the
competitive relations with respect to Madison, Bremen, Richland and Ocilla as representative Georgia points already publish
tu, has excited such general interest that additional and widely separated points showing the benefits from the recent interstate
^adjustments aie given below. In order to get the full measure of these interstate readjustments, it is necessary to revise the
rates within the State, so as to remove all intrastate discriminations.
Approximate adjustments are afforded adjacent cities and towns not shown here. Hundreds of similar illustrations can be
cited. , ,, ...

Rates on special commodities not included in the above classes have been or will be worked out on the same
general relation.
OUTBOUND RATES
In shipping out under the proposed readjustment of rates in Georgia, these above-named representative points will pay
no higher rates to any point in the state of Georgia of equal distance, similarly situated with respect to them at to the
above-named competitive cities, than will be paid from those cities, a privilege not now enjoyed. Your town will have an
equal chance on rates in and out. There will be an equality of opportunity, interstate and intrastate. Is it not your opinion
that such an adjustment should be encouraged?
