Eleven joint debates between
the four candidates for Congress
from the Seventh district will be

losing Ground.
Old Booze is slipping slowly;
some day his graft unholy will fiz
zle out or burst;then we all will tot
ter to hydrants for water to slake
our raging thirst. Old Booze, his
grip is losing, for working men are
choosing to leave the suds alone:
long years of earnest thinking has
shown them how the drinking men
has overthrone. Not sentimental
speaking, nor lurid platform
shreaking, has brought this thing
about: not irony or scoffing, not
frantic John B. Goughing. has put
Old Booze to rout. An age of
competition won't stand for the
condition that Barleycorn entails:
the world a weary stage is for one
who blows his wages to open kegs
of nails. Employers plead no long
er with one whose breath is
stronger than is a gas exhaust
they say, ‘‘You're quite too frisky
you’re touching up the whikey, and
so your job you've lost. ’ No sen
timent is wasted: they suspect he’s
tasted a pannikin of beer, they fire
him through the transom, his luck
is also-ransome, he’s in the street
named Queer. So men of sense
are quitting the touching up anc
hitting all the drinks that foam
they drink from babbling brooklets
and have their savings booklets
and happy kids at home. Wall

More Cotton from fewer Acres.
Let this be the Arkansas slogar
now for five years. The Arkan
sas farmers are happy this yeai
over the big supply of feed and fooc
stuffs grown on the farms and the>
are not going to fail to grow plenty
of feed hereafter. Everybody
knows how foolish it would be for
all to go to excess on planting cot
ton next spring and get six cents
for it. Arkansas reduced her cot
ton acreage 16 per cent this year
and now let us keep it down to the
present acreage, or reduce it 4 per
cent lower and then add to our
corn and clover and feed acreage
and use more brains in our farmint
and use better seed, plow better,
cultivate more and better, and thu;
keep up the supply and get more
live stock.

Save Cotton Seed and Seed Corn.
No farmer should be so foolish
as to sell all his cotton seed even if
it is worth 60 to 70 cents a bushel.
It is all the more important that
good seed be saved. Good seed
for 10 acres will be worth more
than poor seed for 15 acres. Seed
may be worth $1 a bushel, or more,
next spring and will be poor seed
at that. Save your own seed now
is the advice of Prof. W. C. Lasset
t°r. cotton specialist of the State
and Government extension forces.
Seed from later pickings is not
good seed because frost-bitten and
damaged by insects. The best
seed, Mr. Lassetter says, always
comes from the lower two-thirds
of the piant. Save cotton seed.
It is hoped that thousands of Ar
kansas farmers have already gath
ered their seed corn for next spring
and have it hanging up in the sheds
Doubtless there are thousands ol
others who have not done this,
The College of Agriculture at Fay
etteville is urging every farmer in
the state to select good seed corn
in the fall and hang it up and thus
be sure to haye plenty of seed next
spring.

I. Principles of Animal Nutrition.
In order to fully appreciate the Im
portance of animal production one
must consider that as human beings
we depend upon the raw soil for food
and raiment. It would Indeed he a
j difficult matter had not kind provi
j dence provided plants and animals to
! aid us in our struggle for existence.
I The plant, with its root system pene
| trates the soil and with the aid of va
; rions agencies, is able to gather for
| itself from among the eighty or more
elements those which are peculiar to
its needs and with die aid of the sun’s
rays elaborate them into its body and
fruit. The animal, on the other hand,
browses tlie* growing plants or con
sumes the gathered forage, and by
means of its process of digestion is
capable of reducing plant life into
forms so simple that they may enter
tiie animal body and (here take on the
forms of flesh, fleece and power.
Because of this close relationship
existing between plants and animals,
it is therefore not at ail strange that
upon analysis by the chemist, plant
and animal tissues contain similar
compounds which for our convenience
have been grouped into four groups:
namely, ash or mineral matter, pro
tein. carbohydrates and fats. From
the standpoint of animal production
we will confine our considerations to
these groups of compounds.
The nmscie or flesh, hide, hair,
blood and such parts of tiie animal
body are composed largely of com
pounds found in the group known as
| proteins. The development of suen
tissues takes place largely during tho
growth of the animal, as each of the si
tissues is made up of many cells
which during growth increase.in si/.e
and in number. After the animal
reaches maturity only sufficient
amounts of these compounds are nec
essary to replace wear and tear. The
logical conclusion would be that grow
ing animals should have foods rich m
protein compounds, as a very pecu
liar condition exists v.h'-eby only pro
tein compounds or plant or an innl
foods can form protein compounds in
the animal body. Compounds from the
other three groups can not serve tile
purpose. We find in the plant king
dom that certain classes of plants
contain a greater percen'age of t’-r ■ >
protein compounds than others. Fore
most among them is the rlass of
plant known as legumes Legumes
such as alfalfa, clover, peas, beans,
vetch and other should bec ause of
their protein content be desirable
feeds for growing animals. Factory
by-products such as oil meal, cotton
seed meal, gluten meal, dried brewers
grains, wheat bran, and others are al
so ricli in protein compounds.
The asli or mineral matter is found
largely in the skeleton of animals
As with protein the greatest demand
for mineral matter such as lime, phos
phorus and others comes during the
growing period of the animal became
it is then that the rapid increase in
size calls for a rapid increase of ‘he
bony frame-work.
Carbohydrates which includes
starches, sugars, and fiber are not
found except in very small quantities
in tile animal holy, hut are I lie main
source of fat and heat in the body
When fed in moderate quantiticj they
are stored in the liver anil muscle tis
sue in tiie form of glycogen or animal
Starch and used for maintaining the
body temperature. If fed in large
qualities they are changed into the
more stable fat. For mature animals
where the object is to fatten or din
ing seasons of the year where tempe
ratures are low, the feeding of feeds !
rich in carbohydrates would lie ad- |
visahle. Most of our cereal grains and j
our coarse fodders are rich in carbo- I
hydrates. During work a great deal j
of Imat is evolved, so that carbohy
drates are more economical as a rule
for work stock to a certain extent
than protein. I’rotcin rail however, if
fed in excess be changed into fat. hut
it is not economically used in tint I
way. Fats serve much the same pur i
post* as carbohydrates in the animal !
body, and IT fid In large quantities*’
may he deposited as fat in only slight
’y changed forms. Some r>f our plant
seeds are especially rich in fats as are
Iso the by-products after the oil is
tressed out.
Restoring Stock Ranges.
It lias been demonstrated that over
grazed stock ranges on national for
ests can be brought back to use un
der a system of regulated grazing
faster than if they are left unused.

The Monroe Furniture Go., gives its customers, of which it num
bers thousands, the very maximum value for the money in every
instance. Fifteen years experience in buying and selling furni
ture, carpets and home furnishings has taught us what our cus
tomers want and where to ohtain it for them. Our furniture
goes into a majority of the HOMES of this section; it furnishes
comfort to the home of the well to do business man or
planter, and it answers the need of the working man's cottage.
No matter what may be the size of your pockctbook you will
find what you want and save money on it.
