FEED FOR PIGS.
Stock raising on the rars can
not much longer be profitable. Ar
kansas farmers are seeing the
necessity of sheds and pastures if
they are to make money from hog'
It will be only a few years until th‘
“Razor Back” will be a curiosity
The Pig Ciub boys are driving i
out of the state. Arkansas farm
ers want hogs that will weight, tw
hundred pounds or more at frcrr
six to eight months. That mean;
first, pure bred boars, next, purt
bred sows, then spring and summe1
pasture, rape. peas, soybeans, pea
nuts, clover and Bermuda. Then
it means decent and clean lot. am
sheds and the right kind of f-ed foi
fattening. Corn alone is not a
profitable feed. Corn and clove1
or alfalfa or peas or peanuts are
fine. Wh°n these cannot he had
for winter fattening the farm-,,
must have a balance of corn, tank
age, meat meal and mi idler s, <>t
some such feeds if h . want . to fat
ten his hogs economically. Th«n
the farmers should adopt the plan!
of “hogging down 1 a few ac es of
corn every September. If pens o>
peanuts are in the field the pigs i
will have a good ration. Let us
produce all the pork we need in
stead of buying it from Missouri
Tiie Extension Division and De
partment of Agriculture, Fayott -
ville and Littl • Rock, have bulletins!
on hogs and hog feeding for free
distribution. All county • agents
keep bulletins for farmers arid will
be glad *o work out for th m a
good hog fattening ration.
FEED THE HENS.
Arkansas farmers are beginning
to realize the importance of poul
try as a source of considerable rev
* enue in addition to the contnbuti m
to the family ta*ble. Why not try
a little bookkeeping, put down in a
book the number of laying hens
and pullets (no roosters needed
until February ) charge up grains
and purchased feed and keep rec
ord of egg production. Hens will
not lay well on just any kind of
feed. They must have egg pro
ducing feeds and these will include
grains, greens or pasture, rye. clo
ver, wheat, etc., worms, rabbits or
some other meat food and grits.
Equal parts of ^wheat and corn,
half as murh oats fed in straw or
leaves make a good dry feed for
winter. Then a dry mash, say five
pounds of bran, five pounds of
shorts and three and one-half
pounds of meat scraps will make a
good feed. If milk is available the
meat scrap is not necessary.
Tnese two feeds with ground oys
ter shells will make a good winter
fe’ds for hens. Eggs in some Ar
kansas cities are now selling for
thirty cents and in the East for
fifty cents. It will pay to produce
eggs for market this winter and
then farmers should organize for
shipping eggs to the good maikets
if the local prices are not good.
The Extension Division and U. S
Department of Agriculture will
send bulletins on poultry problems.
Advise with the county agents and
see him for bulletins.
FLED THE MILK COW.
Thera is a little more interest in
dairying in Arkansas than hereto
fore, but we are hardly in the kin
dergartjn class. We are feeding
too many cattle ticks, but even
above the quanantine line there ,s
not enough dairvhg. We need
more pure bred dairy bulls, Jersey.
Holstein or Guernsey, and more
pure bred cows. The farmer who
wants a general purpose cow
should use the Shorthorn. But
any cow mu-t be properly fed if
she is to give much mil*. Does
every farmer have rye seeded for
[ winter pasture? It is not too late
now. Bran and cotton seed meai
should be a part of the milk co w's
daily ration from now until next
April or May. It will pay. She
needs green stuff, rye. clover, alfal
fa. o Bermuda or orchard grass,
all winter in addition to other
feeds. Take care of the milk cow
and she will take care cf you. The
small boys and girls of Arkansa
need more good, clean milk to
drink. Every child below fifteen
should drink a pint ■ f rr ilk a day
Let us encourage the use of more
rr.ilk, encourage the production of
more milk arid let us educate for
cleanliness. The Extension Divis
ion and U. S. Department have
bulletins on dairying for free distri
bution. See the county agent for
personal help.

Charles H. Bough Says:
“The people of Arkansas should
adopt Amendment No. 14 the
Good Roads amendment to the
constitution.
“1 most heartily endorse Amend
ment No. 14. designed to create a
fund by which Arkansas’ roads
! may be substantially improved and
made more permanent. The pas
sage of this constitutional amend
ment. in my opinion, will mean ap
proximately $50,000,000 worth of
good roads in Arkansas within five
years, without one cent increase in
taxation. The amendment pro
vides that the question of levying a
three mill lax for thirty years, in
stead of two years as at present,
shall be subm.tted to the qualified
electors of the county, at a general
or special election called for that
purpose, at which a majority of the
qualified electors voting at such ap
election shall have voted in favor
of such lavy of taxes.
t “Arkansas present road system
is deplorable, in spite of heroic
efforts made by the State Highway
Commission and the citizenship of
the state to improve it. Less
than 3 per cent of our highways
are improved. The cost of hauling
one ton one mile is 26.3 cents, as
! opposed to 8 cents in states where
' this system is in use.
“The passage of this amendment
would mean untold benefit to the
| farmers and business men of Ar
| kansas. for it reflects the difference
’ between permanent and temporary
improvement."

To get the news read The News ,
forecasting Hie flection.
The Republicans profess tc be
confident that they will elect Mr.
Hughes, basing their claim on the
assumption that the entire Bull
Moose vote has returned to the
Republican fold, as indicated by the
Maine election. But they over
1 ,ok the fact that President Wilson
only received 51,000 vote in Main
in 1912 when ne was unknown.
, and that the Democratic candidate
for senate last month received
! oyer 68.000 votes.
This shows an increase of 33 U
> per cent in the Democratic vote.
: Of course everyone knows that the
i entire Bull Moose vote has not re
turned to the Republican party be
cause a large proportion of the
[above 10000 incre.se of the
Democratic vote, came fiom the
Progressives and the entire vote of
Maine as a state has increased.
However, even accepting the
Republican argument that the vote
for Hughes will equal the com
| bined vote of Taft. 3.439,555, and
1 Roosevelt, 4.1 68.564. Mr. Hughes
would receive 7,608.000 votes and
Mr. Wilson, who received 6 303,
000 in 1912. would receive 8.
404.000, which would overwhslm
] ingiy reelect him.
I he sure Democratic slat 3
have 173 electoral votes, that is
those states which gave Mr. Wil
son.a greater vote in 1912 than
they did to Taft and Roosevelt
combined, have 173 votes, which
Mr. Wilson is sure to get this time.
On the above assumption of giv
ing Hughes the combined vote of
i Taft and Roosevelt and increasing
i Wilson's vote by one third, Wilson
would receive in addition to th,s
173 sure Democratic electoral
votes the 144 additional electoral
J votes from the following states:
POPULAR ELECTOR
VOTE VOTE
V/il’on Hughes
j Connecticut 112.000 102.000 6
; Colorado 152 000 130.000 1
Delaware 28.000 23.000 3
Indiana 375.000 313,000 15
Maryland 159.000 111.000 8
'Nebraska 145,000 124.000 8
! Nevada 10.000 9.000 3
| New Jersey 238.000 234.000 14
I New Mexico 27.000 26.000 3
New York 063.000 845.000 45
Ohio 574.000 506.000 24
West Va. 151.000 134,000 8
144
It will be seen from the above
table that the 144 votes contained
therein added to the 173 sure
Democratic electoral votes will
give President Wi'son at least 317
electoral votes, when all he needs
to reelect him is 236.
However, there is scarcely any
doubt that President Wilson will
carry Oregon, Washington and
Montana, with a strong fighting
chance in Massachusetts. Michi
gan, Minnesota Illinois and Califor
nia, and some others.
The people are realizing more
and more every day that if they
would be so unwise as turn a good
and faithful servant like Woodrow
Wilson out of office, that,, they
would be simply buying a "pig in a
bag" if they elected Mr. Hughes,
because all Hughes has done from
the time he was nominated until
now has been to abuse and vilify
Mr. Wilson and endeavor ’to critL
cise the groat record Mr. Wilson
has made. Anybody can criticise,
but if that is all he can do, as
seems to be the case, he is not
worth giying serious attention.

we must take steps to check the
ravages of this insect pest.
The Department of Agriculture

J study of the life habits of the wee- !

I successfully fight it, and prevent
1 the awful destruction from this
sting. It has been shown by ex
perience that we can fight the
weevil, and by holding the number
down to a minimum, make a profit
able cotton crop in spite of its pres
ence.
We will have a meeting in El
Dorado on Saturday, Oc.t. 14. at
| which time we will have a man to
tell us how we can fight the weevil.
| Every man in the county who is
