STATE FA11>1EKS’ CONVENTION,
Houini-Up lii!!titute Jit A. & M. Col
lege August 27-29—(ireat Inter
est in Iiupoi’tnnt Occasion.
Beginning with Wednesday, August
27th, and running through Friday,
-August 29th, the State Farmers’ Con
vention and Round-Up Institute will
l>e held In the A. & M. College build
ings.
No movement among the farmers
nnd among the women interested in
Work of allied nature has attracted
finite the attention that this conven-
i^ion has been doing. The meetings
nre always largely attended and the
effect of each visit of those doing the
demonstration and making the ad
dresses is a lasting one. Perhaps no
hieeting has been anticipated with
such keenness of delight as this one.
Particularly is this true of the ladies
Uhd all over Raleigh it is being talk
ed. They are going to avail them
selves of the opportunity to gain ex
pert knowledge in short order.
Reduced Railway Rates.
The railroads have promised low
rates for the convention. A fare of
three cents a mile, plus 2 5 cents, will
t^e the round trip rate. This cuts the
tares almost in half and reduces the
expense greatly.
The charges at the college are cor
respondingly small. The College is
^uing to furnish rooms in the dormi
tories free, the only requirement be-
*US' that persons who occupy them
shall furnish their linen such as tow-
sheets and pillows. Meals will
a served in the mess hall at 25 cents.
Many Raleigh people go out there
^Pd spend the whole time, taking
_PPch and enjoying all three sessions,
ts a big privilege. Many young
uusewives, besides young ladies who
^uut to learn, intend to patronize the
passions throughout. The Wake Coun
ty Girls’ Tomatoes Clubs will give a
^S-uniug demonstration. There will
p cake baking exhibitions, bread
P^uking, everything in good cookery
he shown.
Paper-Bag Cookiug.
Puper-bag cooking, something pop
ular
kii
m theory, but not generally a
^own art, will be given a thorough
Vial at this time and the woman’s
^ction promises more than the
en’s even. The best thought on to-
Pcco and corn will be given. There
hi be a score of extras.

l)ISCOlJRA(« MIGRATION OP CON-
SUMPTIVES.
Physicians in all of the Eastern
and Southern States will be asked by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
to stop sending consumptives in the
last stages of tuberculosis and with
out sufficient funds to the southwes
tern part of the United States in
search of health, according to an an
nouncement made today by that asso
ciation.
While it is impossible to tell accu
rately how many consumptives tuere
are at present living in the Stales of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
Southern California, and Western
Texas, it is probable that no less than
10 per cent of the 6,000,000 people in
this territory have tuberculosis them
selves or have come to the West be
cause some member of their family
has had it. Every year, the health
authorities estimate, not less than
10,000 consumptives hopelessly dis
eased come West to die. For these
cases, the climate of this section of
the country can do nothing and they
are compelled to die in strange sur
roundings and thousands of miles
from home and friends.
The National Association points
out further that from 50 to 60 per
cent of these advanced cases are too
poor to provide the proper necessa
ries of life and they are either starved
to death or compelled to accept the
meagre charity which this part of the
country affords.
In an offort to stop the migration
of consumptives of this class to the
Southwest, the National Association
will ask physicians to be more care
ful in ordering patients to go away,
and will also ask railroads to discon
tinue their practice of selling “char
ity” tickets to those who cannot af
ford to pay full fare. “No consump
tive should go to Colorado, Califor
nia, or the West for his health,” says
the association, “unless he has a
good chance, for recovery from his
disease, and unless especially he has
at least $1,000 to spend for this pur
pose, over and above what his family
may need.
“Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
not necessary for a tuberclosis pa
tient to go West. Whenever possi
ble, the National Association urges
tuberculosis patients who have not
ample funds to go to a sanatorium
near home, and if they cannot do this,
to take the cure in their own homes,
under the direction of a physician.”
“They say that alcohol will clean
silver up nicely,” remarked the man
who acquires facts.
“It .will,’ ’agreed the red-nosed in
dividual, “it cleaned up all my sil
ver.”-r-Tatler.
“OCULUM”
A Scientific Cure for Cholera, Roup,
White Diarrhea, Sore Head & Capes
Recommended by the leading Poultry
Journals and Poultry Fanciers of the
country.
Extract from write-up in Reliable
Poultry Journal after watching the
“Wonderful Work” of OCULUM for
two years:
At the Madison Square Garden
Show this year the Hancock Inocu-
latum Co., of Salem, Va., had a dis
play booth and demonstrated the
wo th of “OCULUM.” The pres
ident of the company took the
writer up on one or the balconies
and showed him a game hen in
coop No. 2340 which had won sec
ond. At the Palace show two weeks
before, this hen was nearly dead.
Three doses of OCULUM were ad-
minlstt ated to her. At the Garden,
OCULUM also cured a fine Dorking
cockerel that had been imported
from England and that “went off”
in the show.
Already, in fact over a year ago, such
§ ood men as Messrs. Hawkins, Latham,
mith, Bradley, Fish el, * tc., had un
qualifiedly erdo’sed OCULUM and this
year the Hancock Inoculatum Co. came
into the biggest show in America and.
began at once actually to cure the birds.
