Spread of Typhoid can be Checked.
Members of girl3' club thruout the
State re;cing taught to fight ty
phoid fever in every way. Lessons
in how to fight it are being given by
county home demonstration agents.
They are taught that typhoid can
be prevented if the germs are kept
out of water and food, end if other
precautions are taken.
They are told that when one mem
ber of the family becomes ill with
typhoid the nurse can prevent the
disease spreading to other members
of the family. She should not han
dle cooking utensils, drinking cups
which others use, or anything else
that is a probable medium of distri
bution. Cleansing the hands after each
time the patient has been given care,
is a splendid preventive. It can be
done in this way: wash the hands
with soap and water; follow by rins
ing them In a quart of boiling water
to which has been added a solution
of one ounce of glycerine, and a tea-
spoonfull of 95 per cent carbolic
acid. The solution should be made
fresh each day.

Heavy Draft Animals Scarce.
The country la facing an annual
shortage of 700,000 colts for heavy
work. This Is the result of the war
tailing many heavy animals out of
the country, and the fact that many
breeders Lave thought that tractors
would dlmlnsh he demand for heavy
farm animals.
"There is no question that the de
mand for heavy animals will be
great within the next few years,"
states It. M. Murphy, specialist in
livestick, Division of Extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee. "The war has
drained the country of the supply of
good work stock. Tractors have not
decreased the demand for this type
of animals. Investigations in the
use of tractors on 252 farms show
that an average of only one-half for
each farm have been displaced by
them.
"Mahy breeders during the last
four years have not bred their big
brood marcs. For this reason the
annual 'crop of yearling colts has
been decreased 700,000. Effects of
this will begin to be felt next year
when the normal supply of young
animals fails to appear on the market.
"In order to arouse more interest
in the production of heavier mares,
looking toward the increased pro
duction of heavier mules, the West
Tennessee Experiment Station at
Jackson, is going to offeflor sale to
the highest bidder, a number of the
young Percheron stallions produced
there. The sale will take place Wed
nesday afternoon, September 3, dur
ing the West Tennessee Farmers
Convention. Included in the station
stud are mares of the very vest breed
ing and individuality. They have
been selected of a type particularly
adapted to Southern conditions.
"These marcs have taken the place
of the big mules formerly used at
the station farm and are doing the
farm work satisfactorily in addition
to raising an 80 per cent colt crop
each year.
"Every farm of average size should
have at least one pair of heavy brood
mares. They will do enough work
to pay for their keep, and raise a good
pair of mule colts each year as clear
profit.
"It is not practicable to try to buy
satisfactory mares of this type. The
greater number of those on the mar
ket are those which have proved to
be barren, have failed to produee good
colts, or have some other defect.
"The most satisfactory brood maref
for raising mules is not a straight
draft animal, but cross from a draft
stallion on our good, thoro and trot
ting bred mares. They give their
colts much more finish and snap,
while the draft cross Increases their
weight. ,
"The only way to secure practical
mule mares is by the use of good,
purebred draft stallions with style
and quality and weight on our thoro
bred and trotting bred mares.
"Weight Is the prime requisite of
the mule market to-day. Every pound
that a mule weighs above 1000 is
worth' 25 to 40 cents a pound. The
only way to get this weight is by
the infusion of draft blood.
"At present the greater portion of
our number of horses will class as
'medium to good' 'drivers" or as
'Southerners," the market for either
of which is not sufficient to warrant
their production. The greater num
ber of our mules fall into classes be
low 15 hands high, and sell, at
present, for less than production
costs."

liming Soil.
Lime the soil any day that you
can.
During "dog days" is a very con
venient time.
This may be a bad time to go
swimming; let the boys' mother de
cide that. Certainly it is a good time
to go "liming." Roads are firm now,
and the fields are being prepared for
small grain, clovers and grasses'."
The sun is rather warm, no ques
tion about that. This fact coupled
with your doubt aa to whether or
not liming will pay makes you hesi
tate. But is this hesitation Justified?
Not at all. '
Liming pays, almost regardless of
the effort required from you to make
it pay.
Take average soil: a two-ton ap
plication of ground limestone per
acre, or half that much burned lime,
will increase the yield of corn about
20 per cent, if the land produces one
of these crops year after year with
the growth of no clover.
If clover is grown in the rotation,
limestone may be expected practical
ly to double the yields.
Spread limestone now. Tour coun

When Bill Came Home.
He rushed right in on me an' ma
An lafed a great big loud ha ha,
His face, with joy a' beamin';
Me thinkln' of him 'cross the sea
An thar he wca a huggin'-me.
The sight wa3 most too good to see,
It 'peard I must bo dreamin'.
But thar he stood, my own boy Bill,
All big an' brown an' lafin' still
To me an' ma a' clingin';
Hi3 arms around us tight you know
A sayin' how he loved ua so,
Je3 like he used to long ago
When candy I was brlngin.
Then from his shoulder strap he took
A bloomin' skull cap from a hook,
With a bullet hole clear through it;
An' sayin' as how he thought O' me
An' fetched it back across the Sea
To keep for love o' him you see
An' God I'm goin' to do it!
An from his coat he took a pin,
A kind o' cross that fighters win
For some brave deed or other;
An' lowing' as how it warnt his due
'Cause soldiers wore -it brave and
true
An' like I knowed the boy'd do, ,
HE PINNED IT ON HIS MOTHER!

Therefore if you lime your land for
wheat this fall, you may expect prof
its from it in the crops that follow
for the next seven years.
Lime for wheat if you have not
already done so. Your county agri
cultural agent will be glad to con
sult with you in regard to details.
Apply one ton of burned lime or
two tons of crushed limestone to the
acre, ana aisK it into tne son. a
good plan is to subsoil your land
without a turn plow. Spread the
lime. Follow then with a disk, and
then with the seed.
Select good seed. . If you cannot
find a good variety from one of your
neighbors, one of the following kinds
may be ordered: For average up
lands,' Fulcaster (bearded); Kan
Baa Montgage Lifter (bearded);
Poole (beardless); Mediterranean
(boarded); Currell's Prolific (beard
less); Fultz (beardless); For rich
bottom lands: Fultzo-Mcditerrancan
(beardless); Early May (beardless).
Clean all seed with a farming mill
to remove small grains, weed seeds
and smut balls. Heavy grains yield
more than light ones. If you must
sow smutty seed, treat it with blue-
stone of formaldehyde.
If your community is infected with
tho Hosslan fly, don't sow your wheat
until after frost.
