The school children will get every dollar that is com- Ing to them. The mandamus suit to settle this question is absolute- ly necessary at this time. : **For many years it has been {a mooted question as to what the intention of the law was in regard to the apportionment of this mon- accountants appointed last winter by a Legis- Jative Committee, on making their report to this office, used the fol- lowing language: ‘In the course ious transfers authorized by stat- ute or ordered Ky the Board of Fund Commissioners. These we found to be in order. | We ob- served, however, that the Auditor has some difficulty in making the periodical transfer of one-third of ordinary revenue to State School Moneys. The reason for this is that there is no definition of or- dinary revenue so that he has to decide for himself and we found that he did Mot take the same items each time he made the tras- fer. We believe that it would be advisable to have a definition made of the term ‘ordinary reve- nue.” ’.

If the Court's de- cision should be against former practices, T shall hold the money in a separate fund to ifself, and not a single, solitary cent of it shall be used to pay any other demand or account against the State.

The red mite is one of the greatest enemies of the poultry lraiser. This is a spider-like in- ‘geet and is very common. Its ‘habits are entirely different from | those of lice with which it is of- jten confused. Mites hide in the ;dark damp places in the poultry house, and ean be found in the \eracks and under the roosts. At |night they crawl upon the bird ‘and gorge themselves with blood. ' The Missouri Agricultural Ex- | periment Station gives the fol- \lowing treatment for the exter- |mination of mites. The treatment |must be applied not to the bird ‘but to the roosting quarters. be sprayed thoroughly with one of the coal tar disinfectants, ker- ogene emulsion, or lime sulfur spray, such as is used in spraying trees. The roosts should be paint- ed with the above remedies. The roosting places should be light, dry and well ventilated, as mites do not breed under these condi- tions. Thorough treatment is necessary to successfully combat this costly pest. Saved a $50,000 Herd. ‘teemed. MISSOURI NOTES.
