THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NOR’nTcjHwLlNAHflaPAffHAKHnffflMßWff^ OPEN FORUM HIGH LIGHTS IN THE LIFE OF A FARMER’S WIFE Each afternoon at five o’clock we hear the honk of an automobile horn and know the Evening Times is being left for us. I look forward to the short article by Mrs. Roose velt; it shows me all women are so near alike. One day I rode to Wen dell with my husband and son. While they attended to business, I went into a drug store, took a com fortable seat and greeted many friends as they came in. I was spe cially interested in a small, well dressed lady who was having two prescriptions filled. I caught her eye and asked her to sit down and talk awhile. I always imagine wo men on the farm are tired. She told me she had eight children, most of them small, several in school. I asked if she had any help and she said none except her husband and children; that he always made the morning fires, brought in water, made the coffee, sliced the meat and helped her get a good start for the day. The children spread the beds and swept the house. I told her I know all the high lights and low lights of rearing eight children as that is the number I reared. I asked what papers and magazines she takes and she said News & Observer, Zebulon Record, Pro gressive Farmer, Delineator. A good selection. She said one of the little girls had an abscess and I asked if the prescriptions were for her. She said the medicine was for herself; that she sometimes had to take something to keep her going. I was glad she was looking after her health and my heart rejoiced that farm women can enjoy the same things city women do, plant ing flowers, reading, writing and having a good time.—Mrs. Ed. V. Richardson, Rosed ale Manor. BAILEY NEWS Rev. Mr. Farrar is conducting a series of meetings at the Methodist church assisted by Mrs. Steidley of High Point.

LICE RETARD GROWTH OF HEIFERS, CALVES Cattle lice are a serious handi cap to the development of calves and heifers. When infested with lice, the young animals rub against posts and trees, wearing away their hair and inflaming their skin. Some times the calves become thin and weak from loss of weight. In the late winter and early spring, said Fred M. Haig, asso ciate professor of animal husband ry and dairying at State College, dairymen should inspect calves to see whether they are infested with lice. The insects are found mostly around the necks and shoulders of the animals, but they also infest other parts of the body. The first step in eradicating lice is to clean and disinfect the stalls thoroughly. After removing the bedding and sweeping the stalls, disinfect them with a five per cent solution of any good coal tar dis infectant. Allow the stalls to dry, then whitewash the interior. When the whitewash is dry, place plenty of straw bedding or other clean ma terial in the stalls. Meanwhile, apply to the calves a solution of one ounce of sodium fluoride in a gallon of water. Brush it in thoroughly so that it will reach every part of the body and penetrate loose folds of skin. Tie the animals in a sunny place protected from drafts until they ©SPECIAL ZEBULON BEAUTY SHOP Mrs. R. E. Barnes herself will Ten Days EUGENE PERMANENTS at $3.50 are dry. The calves are then ready to be placed back in the newly disinfected stalls, and a second treatment will hardly be necessary unless they become infested again from other animals.
