Original Home of Welshmen.
Jutland was probably tlie original
home of our Kyuirie ancestors, as well
as (at a later period) of some so called
Saxon Invaders. It was peopled in
classical times by the Ctmbri, Identi-
fied by ethnologists with the Cymry.
or modern Welshmen. The Germans
magnanimously declined to annex Jut-
llA-i land with Schleswig-Holstein. It was
then considered a worthless waste of
moors, sand dunes and marshes. But
the industrious Danes have transform
eil what one English traveler styled “a
forsaken wilderness'’ into the most
prosperous pastoral countries of west-
ern Elayope.—Westminster Gazette.

Baa'a Double Stomach.
The bee has two distinct stomachs.
In the first It stores away the honey it
so Industriously gathers up from the
flowers until such time as It is ready
to yield It up, while tbe other stomach
is used simply and solely for digestion
purposes. Thus the food and the honey
are never mixed. When the bee re-
turns to tho hive and is ready to de-
posit the honey It bus gathered it con-
tracts the muscles of the stomach, by
which act the honey Is ejected through
the mouth. As to bee food, it Is vari-
ous In kind, consisting largely of the
honey it so patiently makes for others.
No “Poor Land.”
“That land of yours was mighty poor
when you bought It,” a friend of ours
remarked to the wide awake oivirtr of
a beautiful farm we passed tho other
day, whereupon the owner delivered
himself of a faithful saying and wor-
thy of all acceptation—or mighty near-
ly so. “You’re mistaken,” be said.
"There’s not any poor land when you
manage It right.” It is a true rule that
“there Is more In tho man than there Is
in the land."—Progressive Farmer.

(U. S. Bureau of Animal
Bulletin.)
Washington. I). Sept. 1.—Because
of the spirit of <•< iota-ration among the
Ipeoplo of tlie South, in the work of
eradicating Hie tick which transmits
Texas fever to cattle, tills destructive
and expensive pest should lie elimin-
ated from the territory of the United
States within the next five years, ac-
cording to the Field Inspection Di-
vision-of the Bureau of Animal Indus-
try of tlie U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Enthusiasm in tin- fight
against the peat is running particularly
high in several of the II tick-infested
Southern States and these common-
wealths will free their, territory with-
in tlie next year or so, tlie division
predicts. In 8 of the states, it is be-
lieved the work will be completed with-
in four years.
An outline of conditions in Hie tick-
infested territory, recently prepared,
shows that Virginia, only 4 counties
in which are now under quarantine,
can l>e made tick free by one years
active work, and. that because of the
interest now lining shown, .there, the
quarantine is likely to lie removed
from the last hit of previously tick-in-,
tested territory in the state early in
lilts. South Carolina, which Is push-
ing tlie eradication work steadily for-
ward should achieve freedom from
ticks the same year. By tlie end of
1017. it is calculated, there should be
hut 15 counties in Alabama remaining
in quarantine, and these, at tin- rate
tlie State lias been working, should
lx- cleaned up the following year.
Funds Were Appropriated.
For Mississippi probably tlie most
accurate prediction can be made. The
legislature of that state recently en-
acted a Jaw requiring that all coun-
ties now in (lie quarantined area
si mil eradicate tlie tick during 1917.
The jieople showed their interest in
this step Immediately, and nearly all
tin- infested counties already have ap-
propriated funds for the building of
dipping vats in preparation for tile
state-wide campaign. State-wide tick
eradication legislation also has been
enacted in Louisiana. As a result,
tills State i au ffipeet to lie iris- of fever
tick*'by. th#end ,lf 1919, * .
OkLatymf. it is Mlc.yed, will clear
Its territory of fever ticks within fhc
next -flff«v„vj,4+rs: in Arkansas, dip-
jiiri‘4 vats are In of oonstrw4-
Hon in practically wtery county of the
state and will soon lie in general use.
It is lielteved that tick eradication
Will, lie completed in this state by the
end of 1826. TlwJ same year it is
predicted, will see' North Carolina
cleared of ticks.
Texas Has M,wt Quarantine.
Georgia, Florida and Texas have
H
UTM-
the hardest task before them in tlie
work of tick eradication, and prob-
ably will require most of the five year
period to bring about tlie removal of
quarantine from their territory. Texas
has more comities quarantined be-
cause of the presence of tin- fever
tick than any other state, and has al-
most as many square miles-in the
quarantined area ns all the other
states combined. It is probable, there-
fore t1ult the work of eradication there
will take more time and that unless
there is unforeseen activity, Texas will
be tlie last of tlie states to claim a
white area on tlie map. The finish-
ing of flu- work of eradication in the
other states, however, will release Fed-
eral agents engaged in the work and
will make possible the concentration
of effort on Texas toward tbe end of
tin- five-year period. It is believed,
therefore, (lint by the close' of 1921
this concerted work, if properly sup-
ported by local cooperation, will re-
sult in tick eradication from Texas
and tlie freeing therefore, of all Unit-
ed Stales territory from the pest.
As a result of extermination of the.
cattle tick from approximately 285,0W)
square tulles in tin- 10 years during
which the U. s. Department of Agri-
culture and the Slates have been ac-
tively engaged in tlie work, the cattle
industry, according to the Bureau of
Animal Industry, in the South has im-
proved from 50 to 100 per cent. Na-
tive p**ef cattle, freed from attacks
of tlie ticks, have put on won- fiesli;
native dairy cows are giving more
milk*; ami, Is-cause danger of disease
largely has lieen eliminated, cattle of
better bm-ds have been brought in to
improve the native stock.
South Made Rapid Progress.
The South lias made greater pro-
gress in developing the CHttle indus-
try in tin- last 5 years titan, in the pre-
ceding 50 years, and there 1ms been
more progress In the Industry in tin-
smith In that |ierioil than in npy oilier
section.
The States and counties, railways
and other corporatious. and business
men of the#South have been active in
emphasizing the great importance of
tick eradication and in spreading in-
terest and information among farm-
ers and cntlemeu. As n result of the
