to be really worth its face value
and is redeemable when there is
money in the treasury set aside
by the levying court for that
purpose. Now this scrip gets
into the hands of people all over
the county and much of it into
the hands of poor men who are
unable to keep it, and for the sake
of something they need must
dispose of it for anything they
can get. certain sharpers know
ing this make it a business to
take advantage of the want and ;
suffering of the needy and buy
up all that they can get at the
heaviest shave that they possi
bly can. They try to get all the
scrip in their hands, then watch
the treasury, and when there is'
any money in the treasury, shove:
their scrip in and draw dollar for
dollar while the poor man who
needed it the worstgot only from j
25 to 50 per cent of the value of
his wages and other men holding
scrip and living far away don’t
know of any money being in the
treasury, fail to offer their scrip
in time, and thus hold their scrip
until they become weary and,
they too, sell at a discount, so
that nearly all that have to take
scrip for their poorly paid ser
vices are heavy losers while the
scrip gambler gets rich. Now,
of all the candidates running for
office in Woodruff county, we see
none making any offer of any

who has something to oiler us
both practicable and useful. He
takes the Gambler Wolf by the

certainly anyone could buy and

Movable Crib That Can Re Handled

We have used the movable cr't> one
year and find it very useful, it cost
$12. We used it in a large field; haul
It from one place to another when
empty. It gives a clean place to feed
and distributes the manure and cobs
where needed most; saves much la
bor. The crib has a shed roof; is 7
feet high in front and 5 feet at rear;

pieces resting on the sled are 3xG
inches and 5 feet long. The side, end,
i floor and end door are left open, in
cut, to show construction. The upper
door (D) falls down; the crib is filled

Typhoid Geruns In Batter.
To what extent may butter carry the
germs of typhoid fever? Tests have
been made to determine this question.
Sweet milk, sour milk, buttermilk and
butter were inoculated with typhoid
germs. The results showed that the
germs may remain in butter in an
active, virulent condition for at least
ten days, and, under many conditions,
for a much longer period, as, for ex
ample, butter containing a large per
I ventage of buttermilk, which is a good
! culture medium. This should serve as
a warning to all makers of butter to
make sure that their water is drawn
i from wells uncontaminated. If thero
; has been a ease of typhoid fever in
the home of any farmer let him make
sure that the well, from which is
taken water for all uses, including the
washing of butter, is absolutely pure.

The Cnlf In Early Spi'lnjar.
If the calf is born in early spring, as
soon as the ground is fairly warm, say
in the latter part of May, let them out
into a field where thy may run, stretch
themselves, feed on the tender grass,
and watch them grow. Keep up the ra
tion of milk, and don’t forget the crate
of hay. The calf will nibble at this
far on into the summer. Do not think
it possible for the young cow to get
too much nice hay. So keep on feeding
the first year. If the milk fails in the
fall so that there is not enough to feed
the calves, keep on the grain ration
and add to the amount of hay. The
calf will also eat cut corn fodder by
this time.—Farm Journal.
