Hanna. authorised representative A press despatch says shad and lobsters are rapidly disappearing from America. Guess we cau spare a few lobsters without any serious loss. Henry Ford has abandoned his peace mission and come home When he s'arted on that absurd trip we were about t? quote the ditty: 'Three wise men of Gotham Went to sea in a bowl If the bowl had been stronger My story had been longer." Henry has finished tfle story. BILLY BRYAN'S BEE Brother Billy Bryan is a good mau in some ways but in other ways he is peculiar. He seems to be trying as hard to get up an issue with President Wilson as the llepublcans are and with as little success. He attacks the President because of his preparedness aod objects to his plans for raising revenue. He says the money should come from the income tax: that it should be raised and the rich made to pay more. He does not agree that the income tax should be widened so as to take in incomes that are not now taxed. That might interfere with Brother Bryan's income which is said to be by no means small. I If Brother Bryan would get rid of that presidential bee in his bonnet he would be mo?'e useful to his country in this crisis Be sides, that bee is getting old and , ought to be out of its misery. | In Defense of the English Sparrow Editor Advertiser: ! I noticed in The Advertiser a few weeks ago where pome one writing in the Wadesb:ro Mes senger aud Intelligencer had said the so called "pesty" English sparrow was a good means J of destroying a certaiu detrimen ' i tal forest insect. We were further advised by our t'hestertiplrl pHit/^r flint, tliiu iron "P."..' i ?~ vxmw vuio t*uo auuui ! the only compliment ever bestowed on this familiar bird in regard to his industry. I would like to say that if our Editor will lay aside all other duties some time and prove himself an ornithologist for a few hours, he will readily find that the little English sparrow is tilled with a most industrious disposition,! especially in spring time. He is! a very busy worker among garden plants?and delights in re-1 moving many a harmful insect \ that serves to destroy young plant life. The writer has watched for, hours, the real good of this little bird that is so much hated by the average, because they have never consumed time enough to turn the bright side of the little fellow their way. When you are prone to dislike the cheerful English sparrow, just devote a few spare hours to his study and you will no longer abhor the presence of our little "feathered friend." M. V. S.

"Paring*, nothing," exclaimed the kiddie, "I smell whole apples." "My husband," remarked a Philadelphia matron to a group of friends, "was a confirmed smoker with a tobacco heart when I married him a year ago, but today he never touches the weed." "Gt>od," said one of the group. "To break off a lifetime habit requires a strong will." "Well, that's what I've got," laid the wife.

Sorehead, a disease of chickens caused by spores of a common mold, appears when fowls come In contact with moldy litter or moldy grain. It seems not to be a constitutional disease. It Is usually confined to the face, comb, wattles and ear-lobes, eyes, nostrils, and mouth, but Is occasionally found under the wings In advanced or neglected cases. It Is extremely contagious and may spread through a flock in two or three days. Sorehead is of two kinds, dry and moist, according to the surface attacked by the spores. If it is on the mucous membrane of the eye. mouth, or nostrils, the moist type develops; if on the skin of the face or adjacent parts, it will be the dry or warty variety. The moist type is a most serious disease, growing rapidly. It soon , closes tho eyelids, which swell to an ' enormous size, blinds the fowl, and causes it to waste away and die. When sorehead annears. it is not necessary to isolate the diseased fowls from the flock. Look for moldy litter . or food and If It 1h found replace It with fresh. Check the disease by coloring the drinking water pink with a few crystals of permanganate of pot- ' ash, and paint the face and comb of the apparently well chickens with equal parts of creolln and water, or a j strong purple solution of pormangan- ' ate of potash. Give appetizing food. It Is advisable to mix the egg mash j with buttermilk or sour skim milk and feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap meat, cut it up, and throw to the chickens. The fowls that have the warts should be caught and the crust of each wart removed. The tissue underneath is red. Dip a clonn feather in one of the remedies named below and touch the red tissues with the liquid. Next morning the treated wart will have a black scab over it, which dries and falls off in three or four days. A week later one cannot detect where the wart was. In treating the moist variety, it Is necessary to drop the remedy into the eye. nostrils, or whatever organ is attacked. This seems cruel, but it saves the fowl. The remedy the writer prefers is pure, undiluted creoltn. We have not lost a chicken from sorehead since using this remedy. It will eradicate the disease from the eye and, if used in time, will save the sight. Other good remedies are iodine, cresol or similar disinfectant, zenoleum, all ?1. - uacu uuuiiuieu, i?iu pie noiuiion or permanganate of potash, liquid shoe polish (black), and solution of copperas (as much as will lie on a 2f>-cent piece, dissolved in a cup of water). A clean feather is best for applying the remedy. FRANK C. IIARE. Extension Poultry Husbandman, Clemson Agricultural College. CONTROL SAN JOSE SCALE Do Not Let Winter Pass Without Making Effort to Get Rid of This Fruit Pest by Spraying. The time to spray San Jose scale Is in winter when the trees are leafless and dormant, because the materials that have to be used are so severe that they would destroy the foliage if applied when the leuves are onThe most satisfactory spray is limo- ; sulfur wash. When purchased from a reputable house it is more uniformly effective than when boiled according to the old method. Directions for preparing the home-made wash, however, will be furnished on request. To prepare the spray from commercial waBh, dilute one gallon of the wash with eight and one-half gallons ' of cold water. Ordinarily, one spray is enough. In bad cases, spray as soon as the leaves are off and repeat in February. We do not recommend spraying with this material after the buds have started. ( Lime-sulfur wash will not success fully control the gloomy and cottony maple scales so common to maple trees, nor will it successfully control oyster shell scale of the orchard. For j these we recommend heavy oil emul- | slons at the rate of one part of the oil to twenty parts of water. Owing to the variety of oils now being tried . out, any one wishing definite Informs-' tlon about oils for these pests should write us. Oils bought from standard houses are generally well emulsified but it is always well to make a separa tlon test as follows: After making up the spray ,set one-half tumbler of the mixture in a tfblet place for an hour If no separation shows in the form ot light oils coming to the top. the oil is safe to spray according to direc tions. When a separation takes place the manufacturers are always willing to adjust the matter. A. P. CONRADI, Professor of Entomology, Clemson Agricultural College.

If yov haven't thought up any, here are a few timely suggestions: For hubby: Never again to spend a moment out of the presence of the wife unaccompanied by a trustworthy guardian appointed by her, who will report faithfully all of your doings, even to the Irregular quiver of an eye- , lush, or the drinking of soda Instead t of buttermilk. Never again to be such a brute as to want to stay at home when the wife wlBhos to go out, or to wish to go out?by yourself?when wifle de- g sires you to stay at home in the bosom of your fatuily. Never again to growl, grumble or V. swear, or pretend to be asleep when the wife pokes you in the back and j asks you to walk with the baby in * tllA mlHHlo r*f fhn r? i r*V?f Never again to threaten to forbid 3 tradespeople to allow the wife credit if she and the girls do not cease their extravagance?when the monthly bills Q come in. Never again to forget to peck wifle ^ on the check upon leaving her in the morning and coming home at night, to tell her that her frightful new bom net is a perfect gem, and that her "fourteen-year-old" short dress is altogether too old-looking for her youthful figure. .. For wifle: Never again to make < biscuit for breakfast until you have . tried them on your own digestion for . a few weeks in the absence of tho a rest of the family. ^ Never again to notice pa exchang- I ing glances with the pretty girl across ^ the aisle all the way downtown.
