NOAH MASSENGILL OUTLAWED.
On Friday night of last week Mr.
Z. L. L»emay and Mr. J. .W Stephien
son under the authority they .have
os magistrates passed outlawry pro
ceedings in the caso of Noah Massen
gill, a fugitive from justice. Ho is
now’ an outlaw and could not claim
the protection of law to save his
life.
It costs money to carry on public
health work that, if properly perform
ed, means the lessening of needless
disease and suffering. And in thlB
battle between the dollar and the
denth rate if only the dollar* are pro
vided and wisely used, the victory
for human health and happiness can
be won. In this day and age good
health is a commodity and can be
bought, but the people must be will
ing to pay the cost.

LOW GRADE GUANO.
A reader asks: “If the 8-2-2 fer
tilizer Is sudh a fraud, why does the
law allow It?’’ There Is no fraud in
the 8-2-2 fertilizer. It Is just what it
professes to be, and the manufactur
ers are not to blame for making what
the farmers demand. To make a fer
tilizer of this low grade in order to
meet the demand for a low-priced fer
tilizer, they are obliged to use filler.
What I have argued is that this low
grade fertilizer furnishes the plant
food at a higher price than fertilizers
of a high grade,, and you pay for
sacking and freighting the filler that
Is of no use to you. But the manu
facturer is not the one to blame, but
the farmer who buys the low-grade
fertiliizer because he can get a ton
of it for less money than a better
grade. When farmers fully under
stand that it is the value of the plant
food in a fertilizer that fixes the
price, they will soon see that they can
get the needed plant food in a con
centrated form for really less money
than is costs in a low-grade article.
In fact the report from the State an
alyses show that the manufacturers
of fertilizers sold In the South, are
really endeavoring to have their ar
ticles show a little better than their
claim for they are anxious that no
unfavorable report shall go out about
their goods.—Progressive Farmer.
FARM MACHINERY EXPENSIVE.
“There is no manufacturing busi
ness that lias its machinery standing
idle so much of the time as his
farming,' ’ said Professor R. C. Prilee,
Dean of the College of Agriculture,
Ohio State University, in a recent
lecture. He pointed out the case of
thee binder, which is an expensive
machine, yet it is needed only a few
days in the year. “The average life
of farm machinery is ten years,”
said Professor Price, “and counting
depreciation and interest, it costs
each year about 16 per cent of the
original investment to keep it on the
farm. The way some machinery is
cared for it will cost more than this.
Where it is possible to do so, it is
more economical to rent machinery
than to own it, on the smaller
farms.” The fact that the machinery
is such an expensive uart of the farm
equipment indicates that better care
of this machinery is an economical
feeature of successful farm manage
ment.—Indiana Farmer.
