inflamable stuff, he sets out fires.
The dry stuff readily burns but when
the green underbrush of the green

because it is slid damp and even wet
from the recent rain. There after
there M no danger of fire running
through those old dead tree top.

AVAILABLE SCHOOL M0XET.
8up(. Ball has sent to school boards
ia the county this statement of what
money may be expected for the next
year.- A near as can do estimated
at the present time, the amounts to
bo recleved by the various districts
from tho state and county school
fund durintr 1903 will be 155 for
each district and 93.75 for each child
of school age. By multiplying 13.75
by the number of children in the
district and adding $56, you can
obtain approximately the sum that
will be coming to your district.
It will be found that, in nearly all
cases this will be Insufficient to keep
the schools opeu for the proper
number of months. No district
should have, lea than six months'
school, and those having 30 or more
children of school age should have
eleht or nine. It should also be
remembered that teachers' wages
have risen and are still rising, so
that from $3 to 15 more per month
must be paid for teachers than was
paid for those-ol like qualification a
few year ago.
The conclusion to be drawn from
the above facts I that, in must dis
trlcts, there is an urgent need for a
special district tax for the support of
tho school. I wwld earnestly
recommend such a tax. In order to
be collected this year, the tax should
be levied at a special district meeting
railed for the purpose sometime iu
January and must be certified to the
county clerk by the flint of February.
I would recommend that tha meet
ing U held about Jan. 21di. Blank
notices for calling special mertiogs
can be found In the clerk's record
book. If these have all beeu used,
other ran be obtained from this
offlce. I ran also furnish blanks for
notifying the county clerk of the tax
levy.

We are convinced that I lie old
method of our father, which have
been abandoned for the more modern
practices of our latter-day scientific
farmers la many rases, had much
virtues In them. For instant, we
recently met an old-time farmer who
still cliug to the lime wash treatment
for Insects on fruit trees, and the
excellent condition of both tree aud
fruit ia a testimony to the excellence
of bis methods. The only departure
he has made frmi the piluiitlve
practice is to apply the wash with a
sprayer instead of a brush, the pre
paration used was made as follow:
To teu gallons of water add twenty
five pouuds of lime, and w hile the
mixture is still hot put In a small
quantity of glue. When cool add
three gallons ol milk. The mixture
is inexpensive and may be liberally
sprayed on the trees as soon a the
leaves drop in the Fall. It has proved
efficacious in most of the ordinary
scales, lice aud other insect pests
which are injurious to the orchard.

There Is to be no Democratic tinker
ing of tho Tariff. There will bo at
least 197 Republicans In the next
house ol Congress and 180 Democrats,
and the nine districts mixed up iu
doubt cannot turn out Democrats
enough to overcome the Republican
majority. The Senate will be Repub
lican by a majority of 22. The Amer
ican syetem Is sustained. The faith
of investors and labor is not misplaced.
The conditions by which their inter,
ests are eustaiucd are to continue.
The Democratic cry that the trusts
must be crushed, even if all industry
is crushed did not sweep the country.
The swing around of some sections
toward faith In the proierty-making
party, was not general. . The fact
that there was such a swliig this year
makes the prospect better for two
years from row, Tlio swiug will
then be back to Republicanism in the
natural course of political events.
