The General Asembly, at its last regular session, enacted the follow ing: "An act authorizing tho State Board of Health td provide for the preventive Treatment of Hydropho bia. Sectiox 1. That the Statefioard of Health is hereby authorized and empowered to provide for and have conducted under its direction the preventive treatment of hydropho bia or rabies, whenever in its judge ment circumstances, financial and other, will justify it. To meet the expenses of this treatment the said board is hereby given authority to supplement the revenue derived from fees for the treatment by such sums from the treasury ot the State Laboratory of Hygiene aa may be necessary: Provided,' that the use fulness and efficiency of the said laboratory is not thereby impaired.

To meet as far as may be the expenses of this spec cialwork, the said State Board of Health is hereby authorized and di rected to demand from those able to do so the payment in advance of a reasonable fee, not to exceed in any country. The Board of Health, at its recent annual meeting, decided that cir cumstances would not justify the treatment. The following extract from the circular of information issued by the Laboratory of Hygiene gives the necessary details: Rabies In no other disease is an ftftrlv diflornnaia ni more vital imnnr. tance. Fortunately, a diagnosis can in most cases be maae irom a mi croscopic examination ot the brainof the rabid animal. The suspected animal, or its head and neck, should be sent at the earliest possible mo ment to the laboratory for examina tion. The head should be packed in ice to prevent putrefaction; and should be sent by express, prepaid. A careful account of the animal, with a full history of cause of suspi cion shonld be sent in every case. The treatment will require the presence of the patient in Raleigh for about three weeks, but residence in a hospital is not necessary. The cost of the entire treatment will be $50, or will be furnished free to per- sonff' unable to pay, upon submission of "an affidavit of inability to pay, duly sworn to and subscribed before justice of the peaceor, if the case be a minor, such a such an affidavit by the parent or guardian."

C, August 1, 1908. TO THE FRIENDS OP PROHIBITION. The forces of righteousness have prevailed against the advocates of the saloon; and hereafter our fair State is to be free from the legal sale of liquor. This, however, does not mean complete victory. Only a poition of the liquor forces will quietly and freely submit to the law; others must be made to. On the part of some there will be a ready disposition to manufacture, sell and buy liquor in spite ot the Prohibition Law. Therefore it is incumbent upon us to see to the enforcement of the law we have championed. Duty de mands that all good citizens defend the law, and oppose law breakers. It is better to protect the law than the lawless. It is wiser to shield the people from orim inals than to shi eld the "blind tigers" from law, L et us, therefore, use our evidence and influence to convict any per son who disobeys the Prohibition Law of our State. Then the liquor traffic will stop. I desire further to put you on your guard with reference to rep resentatives in our next General Assembly. I am sure that the ad vocates of license will leave no stone unturned to carry their points and nominate men who favor license to reoresent vour countv. Already iW are laying plans to this end. 0Dl ' V- . license rt Find the $"tedft e?eotef en iu -'- ho will properly fill the position an Z, .1 the race. Only thus of ;.w t th, best possible men.

It will be to late after the prinaries are over; and this mat ter is entirely too important to be overlooked.

This fault Is not usually due to the material employed so much as to an entire lack of proper grading and nndordrnlnlng. Merely to throw some grovel over' a wet or spongy place without raising the level of the road bed or making any provision for the drawing off of the water cun novel make a road which will not cut through and become muddy whenever the frost pomes out of the ground. The water pinks through the gravel covering Into tho clayey foundation and rendera the latter yielding to the overlying road, which pushes the wheels through the gravel Into the clay or If the covering Is thin causes the clay to be pushed up between the pebbles.

In Missouri the roads are really bad. and Improvement by tbe King road drag has been taken op gystematlcnUy, Tho following suggestions nro from a bulletin by tbe Missouri board of agri culture: Don't drive too fast Don't walk. Get on tbe drag and ride. Don't wait for your neighbors to take hold. They may be waiting on yon. Don't wait for the big grader to coine and shape up your road. All you can do first will help to make the work of the grader permanent. Don't try to drag with one place; use two. One will scoop out tbe hollows in the road aud deepen them. .When two are used the one keeps the other up, and soon the hollows will have filled and become level like the balance of tbe road. Don't wait for good roads ontU the city folks begin to talk about me adam at public expense. This will cost from $3,000 to 15,000 a mile, and for country purposes, where there is no heavy haullii, it Is uo better than, not as easily maintained as, a road proper ly made with the drag. Five dollars a mile with a proper uso of tbe rood drag will keep tbe ordinary country road that b proper! drained, graded and bridged or culverted In first class condition nine months In the year and make It a fairly decent road the other three months. But this cannot be done in one year or two. Tho longer the drag la used Intelligently the better the road will become until finally It Is oval and smooth and hard and clas tic. This Is tbe Ideal road, and noth ing but a road properly made with the drag or an asphalt road meets all these requirements. AN ASPHALT ROAD. NSW Jersey t. experiment With Mix ture ef That Preduet With Dirt The New Jersey state department of highways la to construct In Mercer county an experimental mile of a new automobile road, tbe plans for which State Road Supervisor Robert A. Mee ker recently obtained In Kansas City. Mr. Meeker says tbe near method of construction to simple and cheap, that It la self beating when broken and therefore practically Indestructible, that It Improves with age. that It Is mud- less, noise leas and almost dustleas and that It Is not slippery even when coated with Ice. 1 In the building of tbe road the origi nal soil Is finely pulverized, and then Into this there Is worked a mixture of hot asphalt, tbe wbolo mass being firm ly rolled In tbe finishing. Breaks are quickly repaired by traffic, the weight f wheels cementing tbem together, J Tbe base yields slightly to heavy traf fic a no, then regains Its original shape. It Is equally good for horses and auto mobile.. ; If the experiment Drove, a success.

Foot rot originates only In wet land or on ground whli-b Is not dry and where sheep hoofs arc liable to crack from overgrowth and softening by ex cessive moisture. Tlil.i malady moy also bo communicated to a sound flock by tho introduction of one sheep having the disease. The sheep pen and yard should be composed of hard, dry, well beaten clay. The droppings In the pen must not be allowed to ferment, as the beat In the manure will soften tbe feet, and when the sheep are turned oat In tho spring on damp sod tbey are liable to have an attack of this trouble some disease. If tbe disease Is taken In Its early stages the euro m slmplo and sure, says a writer In tho Baltimore American. Clean the hoofs by letting them run In damp grass for an hour or two, then A BAD GASB OS FOOT BOf. pare the diseased portion of hoof with a sharp knife, being careful to cut away every particle of diseased matter, then wash with warm water and car bolic or cttBtlle soap. Wipe dry, then rub In a good caustic paste or stand each sheep In n hot saturated solution of bluo vitriol for ten minutes. Then put In shed and yard baring a clean, hard earth floor for a few days. Tho sheep should be examined fre quently during the season, as the feet may be d Incused for some weeks bo fore ft Is known to tbe owner. The disease docs not affect the appetite of tbe shrep, as they will eat and digest their food up to the very last. The thing to do Is not to let tho disease get too for advanced before attempting a cure. Suooeee With Sheep. Aa Ontario breeder says: I think It will oar anr farmer to have a few sheep, as I liavo never experienced s year when tbey have not paid me. I nrefer CtoUwoldabecanae tbey are strong, hardy sheep, good wool and fair mutton.

Tho np to date farmer' knows the value of being up to date. . nccnows that new discoveries In the various act snces related to agriculture reveal new relations and suggest better methods. He knows that many of the theories held and many of the methods prac ticed years ago, and some even now, are worthless. lie knows that one farmer cannot mako as many experi ments as can a thousand men. He reads books on farming and does not scoff at the book farmer, nor does he refuse to listen to tjjo college pro fessors, for, while ho tuiS great respect for the students of agriculture, yet he knows that tbo time has not come and never can come when agriculture shall bo reduced to a rigid setenco, which shall be governed by a code of rules and laws, as are such sciences as chem istry, physics and the like. The up to data farmer has tho latest Improved fnrmlng Implements and to save horsepower and to do most effi cient work always keeps them In per fect order. He does not use a plow that wlU not scour nor one that is dull nor one whoso adjustment is such that three horses must work bard to do the work which two could easily do with a Plow properly adjusted. Ho under stands tbo application of force to all bis farm machinery so that the great est amount of work Is accomplished with the least expenditure of power. When his form Implements nro not In use bo keeps them well housed If It Is profltablo to do so.

It Is native along tbe northern borders of the United States as well ns In somo parts or Kuropc, where It Is popular. The plant belongs to tho onion family, and Its leaves arc used for seasoning In soups, salads, etc., and nro preferred to onions by miny ivraon liccnnce they are much milder mid more ten der. Enropeans uso chives- for season ing scrambled eggs and similar dishes. The culture of chives Is simple. The plant will grow In any ordinary gar den solL It la usually propagated by division of the roots, been use It does not seed readily. Tbo roots or clumps of roots may lie purchased at moderate prices. The clumi. should be planted In beds about nine Inches apart In rows which are two feet apart Tbe planting may be dene In either spring or autumn. The chives may slso be nlantmt In tho border nf the vee-otabla garden and makes an excellent perma nent border. As a border plant the clumps should be planted sbout six Inches apart Tbe loaves will grow thickly and form s dense green mat The Cankerwerm Again. . The worm which devastated elm trees and applo trees In ton neel lent to the cankerworm, tbe same pest that I visited trees ten years ago. Tbe worm does Its work very rapidly, but unlike tbe elm tree beetle, does not hate a long life end consequently the trees can put forth new foliage, though st sotpe sacrifice of vitality. On the apple trees It can bs destroyed by arsenical spray ing, but the trees must be treated when tbe worm Is very young If the work hi to be effective.
