ALLEGED HOG CHOLERA CURES.
Govrrwrrnt Has Not Approved Any Treatment
Except the Protective Serum.
Washington, D. C.. June 5.—Ev
idence of what appears to be a well
organized campa'gn to deluje far
mers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for ho’
cholera, under the impression that
this has been investigated and ap
proved by the United States Gov
erment. has reached the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Articles
praising this medicine, Benetol by
name, are being sent out wide
spread to newspapers. These ar
ticles are so worded that it appears
as if the Department of Agricul
ture had received reports from the
State of Minnesota showing that
the medicine had proved most ben
eficial. As a matter of fact the
one report received by the Depart
ment was an unofficial and unso
licited statement sent presumably
from the promoters themselves.
The Department attaches no im
portance whatsoever to this state
ment. It has no reason to believe
in the efficiency of any proprietary
cure for hog cholera and does not
recommend any. Under certain
conditions it urges farmers to pro
tect their stock with anti hog
cholera serum, but that is all.
In connection with this attempt
it may be said that the medicine,
which is now put forward as good
for hogs, was advertised some time
ago as a means of killing tubercu
losis, typhoid and cancer germs,
according to an article published in
the Journal of the American Medi
cal Association. At that time it
was asserted that the Army was
ested then than the Department of
Agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the
attempt to create this false impres
sion is persistent and widespread,
all hog owners are warned to com
municate with the United States
authorities before accepting as true
any statement thaLthe government
recommends any treatment other
than the serum already mentioned.
Commissioner Page’s Weekly Letter.
Despite the fact that the con
tinual growing of cotton in large
acreage is a great obstacle to pros
perous and successful farming in
Arkansas, the farmers throughout
the cotton growing area continue
to grow it in abundance, and too
often almost to the exclusion of
everything else. Since cotton is
so generally grown, it must be cul
tivated and the most made of it.
The best way to make cotton grow
ing profitable is to grow it with the
least expense. Labor is the large
item of cost in a cotton crop. La
bor saving methods will cheapen
the cost. The section harrow
should be run angling across the
cotton rows just as the cotton is
coming up, or just after. This will
thin out the weeds and grass, and
thin the cotton some too. A sec
ond harrowing a week later is all
right. One man and team can thus
cover 15 acres a day. Next get a
two-horse cultivator and adjust
some side harrows to it and culti
vate one row at a time. By this
means you can cover ten acres a
day with one team. The cotton
should then be chopped to a stand
to save additional hoeing, as'hoeing
is expensive. Continue to use the
two-horse cultivator with side har
row attachments or sweeps, but
always giving a shallow cultivation.
Use the h^e if necessary to clean
the drill of grass and weeds, but
otherwise not any more. Continue
the cu'tivator until the cotton gets
too high for it. Then employ the
one-horse method and small har
row or side-harrow, and keep the
ground stirred about two inches
once a week up to within a week
of the time it begins to open. You
will make a crop and make it cheap
ly this way.
Similar methods will make good
corn. While you are plowing the
long rcwi do some thinking. Make
up your mind that you can and will
make a success on the farm ever}
year; that you will quit slaving
your life away trying to raise much
cotton; that you will never again
be without milk and butter on the
place; thuyouare going to give
the garden the place of first impor
tance hereafter; that you are goir g
to raise your own meat. Think
over this meat proposition serious
ly and see if you can't figure out
that you can raise your meat a
good deal cheaper than you cat
raise the cotton to buy it with It's
a fact. In truth you can take
twenty acres of land and raise hogs
enough on it to buy more cotton
than you can grow on twenty acres,
if you will give the hogs the atten
tion you do the cotton. The hen.
the milch cow and the hog are the
poor man’s best friends, and the
greatest of these is the hog. The
price of a cow will buy four or five
sows. The sows will bring litters
of from six to ten pigs twice a year
The pigs will fatten and be ready
for the market in less time than it
takes to grow and market a cotton
crop. The pigs will fatten at the
rate of a pound for every four or
five pounds of dry matter fed them.
It takes ten or twelve pounds to
produce a pound in cattle; and the
hog brings as much per pound.
The hog will eat all the waste stuff
on the farm and pay a good price
for it in his increased weight.
An acre of alfalfa or Bermuda
| will pasture five hogs, and a grown
WM- prottude three do liars
Worth of manure during the pas
turage season. The hog will pay
good rent on pasture land in fertil
izer, besides the meat he makes.
But I am saying too much about
the hog for the present. Don't
overlook him, however. He is our
| t I
'main chance," if we would only
accept hi n as such.

Fast Printing of Stamps.
The American people use forty ,
million postage stamps every day. t
A new machine has been set up at
Washington to print them. This
: machine prints a continuous ribbon
I of paper, as wide as ten stamps,
; and the ribbon is cut into sheets of
, 100 stamps. Twelve thousand
i stamps are printed every minute,
or 7.200 sheets of stamps per
hour. This is very much higher
speed than has been thought pos
sible for that class of work. It has
been accomplished by building a
press that exerts a much greater
pressure than the ordidary printing
press. _
The Weather for Way.
The highest temperature re
corded for the month of May was
92 degrees on the 51st and the!

ty-eiget one-hundredths inches of

days. __

Resolutions ot Hesaect.
... I
It is wiih reverence that we bow
to the will of Almighty God in tak
ing from our midst our beloved j
brother. W. W. Guthright, who de
parted this life for that spiritual
life beyond on Monday. May 1 I.
1914. Brother Gathright was a
man among men, well liked by all
who knew him, and foe to no one.
He received his Master's degree
during the early part of this year
and was a member of the Masonic
Fraternity, who. on account of his
regular attendance at our meetings
and ambition for Masonry, will be
greatly missed among us.
Therefore. Be It Resolved, That
we deplore the untimely death of
Brother W. W.Xjathright,; that the
Lodge has lost from among its
rank a true Mason: that we extend
to his bereaved widow and children
our heartfelt sympathy and pray
God may comfort her in this hour
of need: that a page be set aside in
our minute book whereon to en- j
gross these resolutions in honor of
our departed brother, and that1
same be published in the Huttig
News and Masonic Trowel and
furnished to his bereaved family in j
token of our esteem and brotherly
love.

Camp No. I.
The Huttig ball team went out
to Camp No. 1 last Sunday and
crossed bats with the camp boys.
The game ended in a score of 20
to 10 in favor of the camp boys.

Miss Annie Lee closed her school
at Gamp No. 1 last Friday, where
she has been teaching for the past
nine months, and returned to her
home at El Dorado Sunday.
J. W. Webb and Ed Boyd became
involved in a fight at Camp No. 1
last Friday and as a result Webb
received a severe wound on the
face and Boyd, with one or two
broken fingers, we understand, has
left for Texas. The trouble arose
over some delay that had been j
turned in against one of the engine
crews. __
