R. D. Seigler, For the meeting. Ends Hunt For Rich Girl. Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when the man meets a wo man that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves tell in a bright brain and even temper. Her peach-bloom complexion and ruby lips result from pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from firm, free muscles, all telling of the health and strength Electric Bitters give a woman, and the free dom from ^indigestion, backache, headache, fainting and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere they are woman's favorite remedy. If weak or ailing try them. 50o at Peiw.? Holstein's, W S Lynch <fc Co.' ".' tv., . ? .. .. Dr. Frank Jones Sends a Very Satisfactory Explanation to Mr. Garnett in Refer ence to Tick Fever. Probably I can explain the cause of Texas fever in cows and the re lation of the disease to the improper feeding of cotton seed meal in a way that Mr. Garnett can understand. Fifteen or twenty years ago far mers of this country had not the slightest idea of the loss that the Texas fever tick was causing. They would attack the young calf and it would have a mild form of the dis ease which would retard its devel opment and growth but would give to it an acquired immunity from the disease. By keeping and breeding such animals the death Tate was minimized. But animals (cows) bred and raised under such condi tions were and are almost worthless. Some farmers have pursued the wise plan when tbsy got rid of their Texas fever breed and chang ed their pastures, and by so doing have eliminated the disease and are now raising healthy valuable cows. Others are introducing new blood with their tick infested scrub herds with an idea of . improving their breed. But without fim preparing for the health and welfare of the animals, which consists in plowing up the old pastures, spraying the standard dip and keeping cows or other animals infested with the ticks from entering any lands where the cows that have been f sprayed are likely to go there is little hope of exterminating the tick. If such precautions are taken for 24 months there will be no need for fear cf tbe disease. As for cotton seed meal as a food for cows it has no equal provided it is not damaged and it is fed in reasonable amounts. I will also say that man or ani mal is likely to at any time have the germ or organism in his system wnich will cause an infectious dis use, but in the meantime, be in Perfect health, and able to resist its Power of action. That is very likely why the cows that were fed cotton seed meal died with Texas fever. The meal was fed in an unwise manner which caused the animals to have a lowered vitality and fail to resist the action of the disease. The Fairwold farms and Taylor's dairy in Columbia feed hundreds of herd of cattle on cotton seed meal and don't have Texas fever. Why? Because the tick is not pres ent. For further information I will refer Mr. Garnett to Freidberger and Frahner's book on contagious diseases of the horse and cow. Vol ume No. 1. or Dr. R. 0. Feely, Clemson College, S. C. Verv respectfully, B. Frank Jones, M. D? V. The Democratic D onkey. The Democratic Donkey Is now braying loud. For the clover fields are blooming, And the sky's without a cloud. He winks his eye at Wilson, Flops his ears at Clark, Switches his tail at Underwood And gallops over the park. But soon November will come, Then where will he be? With cockle burrs all in his tail, And a spavin on his knee. His loud braying then will stop For four years or more. He will limp into his stable Feeling very lame and sore. The Plutocrats may tell him, "Just you wait awhile The clover will yet bloom again, And then you can once more smile.1' "Wilson, Clark and Underwood, Will be out at first, Then you can play the fool again, By bringing out Willie Hearst." "Perhaps Mr. Taft or Roosevelt, Will feed you some hay. Pick the burrs from your mane and tail, And smile when you try to bray." Poor donkey what future, So hopeless and so dark, No ray of light through Under wood, No hope of feeding by Clark. No antidote for spavin By Dr. Wilson sold So try to stand it poor donkey, Until your feet feels the cold. Of one thing you may be sure, Tho, you eat your fill, Through the sunshine on the shadows, You will be a donkey still. G. W. M.
