Ingham left here on Tuesday evening to attend the funeral of Mrs. Emma Bailey at Philadelphia. He expects togo from Philadelphia to Atlantic City for a short visit with his son, E. V. Ingham. What all other inducements fail to do in getting people togo back - to the farm is being accomplished in some sections by the high price 01 living and the good prices obtain ed for farm produce. People in the cities are feeliug the pinch of living as never before. Salaries lemain stationary or nearly so while the prices of necessaries of life are soar ing. Putting two and two together many have reached the sensible conclusion that it is far better to be producers and live comfortably in the country than to be consumers and half starve 011 a meager salary in the city, BLACKLEG. Owners of Live stock in Sullivan County whose cattle are exposed to the infection of blackleg or black quarter, may have their cattle vac cinated against this disease by the State Livestock Sanitary Board without cost ts> the owner of the cat tle by complying with the follow ing rules: 1. An application for vaccination shall be tilled out and mailed to Dr. S. 11. Gilliland, Secretary of the .State Livestock Sanitary board, at I larritburtf, before April 20, 1910. 2. The application shall contain the name and address of the owner of the cattle, a statement as to the location of the farm upon which the animals are kept and the number and kind of animals in the herd. Vaccinations cannot be made at expense of the State Livestock Sani tary Board upon application received after April li)th. For such cases, vaccine will be furnished free of charge, but the owner will be re quired to defray the expenses of em ploying the veterinarian to adminis- i ter it. S. 11. GILLILAND, State Veterinarian. Money In Rats. The only good rats are dead rats. Alive, the rat carries disease. Dead, It may have a comfnercial value. The skin Is fine material for book covers and for making purses and photo graph frames. It may also be used in the manufacture of gloves for women, and in several of the great cities the rat killing industry is assuming pro portions. The rat in Scandinavia, as well as the species known as the Nor wegian, a big bothersome rodent be cause of its fighting proclivities, is particularly valuable for the purposes named. The bodies can be converted into fertilizing material. Thus, in many commercial centres abroad, Is the rat being killed by the many thousands not because it is a menace to public safety, but because uses have been found for the heretofore worthless hide. The time may come when the rat will be hunted, assidu ously in this country, not only be cause of the money that's in it, but because it is our enemy.—lndianapolis News. Mercantile Appraisment.
