FIGHT AGAINST SATTLE PLAGUE No Idle Dream of Overoptimistic Veterinarians, but a Prac tical Possibility. EXAMPLE STIMULATES OTHERS Work Directed Toward Eradication of Tuberculosis Now Being Carried On in 28 States-Nebraska Making Strides. (Prepared by the United States Department Ot Agriculture.) Since the area plan of tuberculosis eradication has gained headway, the end of the fight against the great cat tle plague seems to be no idle dream at. overoptimistic, veterinarians, but a practical possibility. Many coun ties are now raising large amounts of money for the purpose and the clean counties have set an example that stimulates others tc- follow. Progres sive communities are beginning to real ize that they canrot have diseased herds and expect to compete with fanners and breeders in localities that are entitled to advertise that all of their cattle ?ure free of tuber culosis. Oregon in Lead. A dozen states, according to records kept by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, now have one or more counties in which all of the cattle have been tested one or mofe times. Oregon now has seven coun ties in this class: Washington and Wisconsin four each; Michigan and Mississippi three each; Nebraska and Montana two each, and Idaho, North Carolina, Utah* Virginia, and West Virginia each have one. One hundred and twenty-eight coun ties In 22 states are now doing in* tensifled work dln?cted toward tibe eradication of tuberculosis. Some of these states are going at the Droblem A Good Herd Free of Tuberculosis. on a large scale. In this list Missouri has 18 counties; Nebraska 16; North Carolina 14 ; Maine ll, and New York 10. Preliminary work Is being done in 25G counties and 79 communities in 33 states. Iowa has 31 counties In this Hst; North Carolina 30; Idaho 26; Kentucky 28; Oregon 23; New York 17, and Nevada and Wisconsin 10 each. Forty communities in Geor gia, 31 In South Carolina, and a few in Louisiana and Vermont have started eradication wark. Michigan seems to be leading In the amounts of money appropriated by county authorities to assist the fed eral government and the state in eradicating the disease. To date the largest appropriation made by any county in the country is the $15,000 fund voted by county commissioners of Huron county, Michigan. Other appropriations in that state are as follows:. Eaton county, $8,000. Cal houn county, $9,000; Oceana, $4,000; Olinton, $8,000; Muskegon, $5,000, and Monroe $5,000. Hinsdale county, the first In the country to have all cattle tested, has made an additional ap propriation of $3,500 to continue the work through the second year. A number of other counties have made additional appropriations of $1,500 ?each. Strides in Area WorK. The board of supervisors in a num ber of counties in North Carolina have made appropriation:) to assist in fight ing tuberculosis cn the area plan. Some Kentucky counties have used money for this puipose from the gen eral tax levy. Nebraska ls mak!.ng long strides In area work, and the county officials are j fast appreciating the fact that era dication of the plague benefits every one In the county and that, therefore, I the funds for carrying on the work should be derived from taxation. California was one of the last states to enter into co-operative eradication work with the Department of Agricul ture, but lt ls now being carried on actively In two counties. RODENTS DO IMMENSE HARM Loss in Measure Can Be Prevented by Use of Galvanized Metal Bins, Now on Market. It is estimated that nearly ten per cent of all the grain grown In the country ls being destroyed by rodents. This loss on the farm can be prevented in a measure by putting up fire-proof galvanized metal bins which are now on the market and have been provea satisfactory. CONSERVE MANURE BY SPREADING ON FIELD Not Generally Understood That It Saves Nitrogen. Certain Forms of Bacterial Life Find Conditions in Usual Manure Pile Favorable to Development Heating Also Occurs. It is not generally mderstod just why spreading manure In the open field checks the loss of rltrogen which commonly takes place through the for mation of ammonia in barnyard waste. The reason will be seen if one recalls how ammonia ls produced. This ls due to the activity of certain forms of bacterial life which are al ways present in manure and vf hieb. The Flight Way to Care for Manure Produced on the Farm-Conserve the Plant Food Which lt Contains to Increase the Fertility of the Soil. find in the usual manure pile condi tions favorable for their development. Through their operations organic mat ter ls broken down Into simpler chem ical forms, one of which ls ammonia. Heating of the pile also occurs. Both of these occurrences are familiar to everyone around a stable or where piles of manure are about. When manure is spread evenly in the open field not only ere the condi tions which make for the activity of the bacteria overcome, but new fac tors tending to check their continued operation are introduc?. The mere fact that the waste no longer lies In a pile is a matter of considerable mo ment, for the pile, as already indi cated, furnishes the physical sur roundings most favorable for the op eration of these organisms. Moisture, which they need, ls present In just the right amount. Air in tte pile supplies them with the oxygen which they re quire. The mass of waste holds the heat which ls generated in the chem ical reactions which accompany the processes of decay. TJbJs, in turn, makes possible even greater activity on the part of the bacteria. MANURE WILL HELP PASTURE Top Dressing Often Will Bring About Improvement Where Grasses Are Undeveloped. When pasture begins to fall it may often be Improved without ploughing by topdressing the land liberally with barnyard manure or acid phosphate with lime. This is usually the case where the pasture has plenty of the good pasture gr?sses which, however, are poor and undeveloped. A top dressing on such a pasture will not only bring a good crop of grass in two or three years but also drive out some of the weeds that overrun the rundown pasture lands. This top dressing will be better than reseeding where the soil is exhausted. Where there ls a decided dearth of good grasses, liberal applications of manure may be combined with plow ing and reseeding. Where It Is neces sary to plow as well as topdress with a manure and fertilizer, it is a good idea to grow a crop of potatoes or oats or perhaps buckwheat Such a crop will pay the cost of reseeding, then the following year a good crop of hay can be taken off, and after that good pasturage may be had for many years. FALL PLOWING FOR INSECTS Multitude) of Pests May Be Killet? After They Have Gone Down and Prepared Winter Homes. There are a multitude of field In sects that may be killed by fall plow ing if it Is done after they have gone down and prepared their winter home, which they do before frost. Any time after they become dormant they may be turned up to the weather and will be destroyed, and even If they are not ! dormant plowing will give the birds and other natural enemies a chance at them. If the plowing ls done pri marily as an insect campaign lt ls best to walt until as late as possible. The plowing is good for the land anyway.

WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irregu lar kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the rem edy that has . helped your neighbors. Mrs. J. D. Sharp, 703 Gully Row, Edgefield, says: "When I over-do, it affects my kidneys. My kidneys acted irregularly and my nerves were in bad shape. My back hurt severely and there was a constant ache across my kidneys from morning . until night. The longer I was on my feet the worse it pained. Dizzy spells came on when I stooped and severe catches caught me in the small of my back without warning. I felt mis erable but I am thankful to say I re ceived good benefit from Doan's Kid ney Pills. They relieved the trouble and I keep a box on hand now in case of a recurrence of it." . 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs. Buffalo, N. Y. Hymns Taken From Rev. A. T.

Spanish War Veterans Desire State Organization. The Spanish War Veterans of Co lumbia have organized a local Camp -United Spanish War Veterans. They are desirous of perfecting a state organization, and at their last meeting it was decided to have a banquet Thursday evening of Fair Week, October 26th, hours 6:00 to 7:30 p. m., thus ' interfering in no way with the attractions of the day. This, it was thought, would be the best way to get a large number pres ent and discuss methods for securing a state organization, as Spanish War Veterans from all over the State will be attending the Fair on that date. This banquet will not only bring the veterans for social purposes but will afford an opportunity to assure veterans, their widows and orphans, who are in need of it, assistance in any shape or form that could be ren dered by such an organization. In the short time said organization has been at work in Columbia they have found disabled veterans, and veter ans who have reached the age which automatically entitles them to com pensation under federal pension laws. These, and widows and orphans of veterans, are having their claims attended to. Failure on the part of these veterans, their widows and or phans, to take advantage of their rights and privileges has not only j kept them from receiving what they j are entitled to, but has kept thou- j sands of dollars from this source from getting into circulation in|] South Carolina, where organization has been delayed for twenty years. ? It does not make any difference i what a veteran's financial condition j i it, if he is disabled or has reached j i the age of sixty-one he is entitled to J compensation, even though his dis- i ability may have occurred since he ? was mustered out of service. ] There will be a charge of $1.50 jJ per plate for the banquet and any j1 veteran wishing to bring his wife or i ' a friend can do so by paying for an |j extra plate. y The committee appointed to ar- j ' range for this banquet is: Dr. F. M. Durham, Palmetto Build-j j ing, Chairman; Gen. Wilie Jones, Palmetto Building, Treasurer; Wil-j( liam Banks, J. L. Rainey, C. M. Wac- t tor. ^ All tickets to banquet must be se- t cured before October 21st, so that ? the committee may know how many j to prepare for and have ample time j j to mail each veteran his admission j ( ticket.
