SAVE THE YOUNG PIGS.
"In all probability about fifty per
cent of the young pigs are lost in
Arkansas every year,” according to
J. H. McLeod, livestock specialist
with the Extension Division. He
says, "Watch the brood sow at far
rowing time and save the young
pigs. We must give the brood sow
soon to farrow some attention.
She should have a liberal feed, but
not too much and it should contain
plenty of protein, to be supplied by
a little alfalfa or clover, and if you
haven’t these, a little tankage or
meal shorts. A day or two before
farrowing time let up on the
amount of feed. Be sure to sepa
rate the brood sow from the rest of
the hogs a few days previous to
this critical period and do not give
her anything to eat for a full day
after the pigs are born, then take a
week or ten days to bring her back
to a ration of grain. Investigate
and if your local dealer does not
keep tankage or meat meal ask
him to do so and write the Exten
sion Division at Fayetteville for the
bulletin on "Pig Management,"
“Feeding Hogs in the South.”
HOW TO BUY SEED WHEAT.
A great many farmers in Arkan
sas have never grown wheat, but
they are planning on “playing safe"
and expect to put in a few acres
this fall. Considerable work has
been done with the various varie
ties best adapted to Arkansas at
the Experiment Station, and this
information can be had for asking.
If you are in the market for seed
wheat get in touch with J. F.
Nicholson, the marketing agent at
old state house at Little Rock. He
can give you reliable sources of
supply for varieties which the ex
periments already conducted in the
state indicates are the best for the
Arkansas growers. Now is the
time to get this information.
HELP CONSERVE BEEF SUPPLY.
Because of the drouth in Texas
many cattlemen have recently
been forced to dispose of their ani
mals and thousands of pounds of
beef were being dumped on the
market for slaughter at low prices,
when the Arkansas farmer came to
the rescue of the Texan and since
that time six thousand head of
good beef cattle have been shipped
into the s‘ate for feeding and
breeding purposes. Arkansas
farmers who taken part in this work
are certainly worthy of considera
tion, however, the man who can
buy two or three cars of cattle can
always take care of himself and
the specialists of the Extension
Division say that we must not for
get that if we are to have more and
better live stock in the state we
must begin on the small farmer.
Why would it not be well for the
man who has the grain and rough
age and will put in winter pasture
crops to figure on increasing the
number of animals on his place?
Figure out the amount of feed you
have and if possible increase the
number of cows you have, the
number of brood sows, the number
of yearling steers and the farm
flock. Why wouldn’t it be well in
many cases to trade the two mules
for two mares and raise colts?
There is one thing sure, we must
“get our heads into the game” and
not only raise more feed to the
acre and more acres of feed, bul
we must utilize what we have tc
the best advantage. Raise more
live stock and grow into money.
Stand by the Government.
There is in Arkansas very little
of that pernicious offense knowr
as “giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.” There have been sporad
ic instances of draft opposition and
of pro-German publications, but
they are being carefully watched,
and agents of the State Council of
Defense are working in conjunc
tion with the federal authorities.
The editor of a German weekly pa
per published at Little Rock, who
had persisted in opposing the draft
and by innuendo and direct charge
attempting to array his readers
against government policies, has
been interned in the Pulaski coun
ty jail as an alien enemy. There
are a few otners who have been
abusing the guaranteed right of
free speech who are under govern
ment surveillance, and are liable to
arrest and detention almost any
time.
This is a time when all citizens
must stand by the government and
whatever conscientious scruples a
man may have about war, this is
no time to invoke such prejudices
to the detriment of the common
welfare. Unswerving loyalty of all
citizens, and tne unquestioned
fealty and support of all classes
are imperative to enable the United
States to win this world war earl
ier. The enemy from within is
more to be dreaded than the enemy
in opposing trenches, for the ene
my at home menaces the reserve
forces upon which the front lines
depend.

To Plant Wheat.
The attendance at the meeting
of farmers called for 3 o’clock last
Saturday afternoon at the Princess
theatre was not as large as desired
but every farmer present agreed to
plant from 2 to 5 acres of wheat.
Judge N. C. Marsh of El Dorado
m de a short talk full of patriotism
and advice which was well received.
He was followed by Cashier Albert
Rowell, of the First National bank
of El Dorado, who took the pledges.
Several have made the pledges
since the meeting and we believe
there will be at least 25 acres in
wheat this fall in this immediate
locality, 100 acres around Strong
and probably a like amount around
Lapile and New London.
The meetings at other points in
the county were well attended, and
many pledges made so it is an as
sured fact that we will have the
threshers and mills to care for the
crop next year.

favor Compulsory Vaccination.
The following resolutions are
self explanatory and all parents
who have not had their children
vaccinated should do so at once as
they can enter school the first day
and lose no time: ,
Resolved, That the Annual
Health conference of the State of
Arkansas in convention assembled,
favor the compulsory vaccinotion
amongst teachers, employes and
pupils, carrying into effect the
rules and regulations promulgated
by the state board of health, for
the following reasons:
1. It is an absolute protection
which should be given to our citi
zenship.
2. It is the only known prevent
ative from smallpox and time and
experience both have shown it to
be effectual as a preventative.
3. We are now in the midst of a
world war and our citizens need to
be safe-guarded in every possible
way.
4. This requirement conforms
to a suggestion and a request made
by the National Council of Defense
in Washington, in April, 1917.
5. We most respectfully re
quest the physicians of our state
and all good citizens to render their
assistance and cooperation in car
rying out this order.

Our Opportunity.
Transfer of immense herds of
cattle from some of the less fa
vored parts of the Western ranges
to the better grazing lands of the
South will be one of the first things
undertaken by the Southern Cut
oyer Land association when it be
gins active preparations this month. |
The association is advised by the !
United States department of agri-1
culture and food administration
that there is an extraodinary op
portunity at present for the South I
to take advantage of a situation j
brought about by the war and
drouth conditions in parts of the [
| West.
“Europe, with diminished ani-1
mals, and therefore diminished an
nual production of animal feed,
will require larger imports of meats
during the years of recuperation,
and will probably require the act
ual import of breeding animals,”
says the Department of Agricul
ture. “Therefore, in a broad way,
the outlook to American producers
from now on and after the war will
be (a) a large demand for animal
products, (b) a continuing necessi
ty for meat and dairy animals to
convert forage and grain not need
ed for human consumption into
meat and dairy products.
“The herds and flocks of the
country can only be increased over
a period of years, and the founda
tion for such an increase should be
laid at once. Such an increase is
a national interest, and it must be
made to the interest of the Ameri
can producer.
“Owing to the larger measure of
failure of rougl age available in
Western ranges this year, therj
must be either production in West
ern animals or their redistribution
into the Central and Southern
states, where there is a larger
amount of roughage and nitrates
available than ever before.”

WRITES THRILLING WAR TALE
Randall Parrish, Lecturer, Civic Ex
pert and Author, Turns Out New
8ea Story That Makea Hit.
“The most unusual story of the war,’1
Is what the literary editors aud book
reviewers have said of the novel “Con
traband,” by Randall Parrish. And
having Just finished the tale ourself,
we take sides with them and declare
that “Contraband” is u tip-snorting
orackerjnck of a yarn. It contains
more man-site action and benrt-warm
ing romnnee to the chapter than any
thing In the way of fiction we have
read Rlnce the year of the Illg Wind.
Briefly, “Contraband" Is a recital of
the adventures of a young man who
tries to sneak a ship load of copper
across the ocean Into Germany a few
days after war was declured.
Of course there’s a girl In the story
—a wonderful girt with tender eyes
and soft hair and grace and charm and
sweetness and covtrage. If It hadn't
been for her, the hero would have loft
the ship, crew, copper and Germany
to their fate—but she made the differ
ence.
Now here’s n secret—we are going
to run “Oontrahand” ns a serial In this
paper soon. Kepp your eyes peeled
for further announcement.
INDIFFERENCE
More than anything else causes men to be business
failures. Look around at the failures and near failures that
you know, and you will find that they are men who were
indifferent as to their future and spent their earnings
thoughtlessly.
A man need not be declared bankrupt by court or
have his business closed by creditors to be a failure. If for
long years you have had the health and strength to earn a
good salary, but now have nothing to show for it you are a
failure. Perhaps you consider you never had a fair chance.
The man who saves his money makes his own chance. By
his thrift he establishes a good standing with successful
business men and his savings enables him to get into busi
ness with them where he can make good. Just stop a mo
ment and see if you are not, through indefference, letting
your earnings slip away from you to be deposited by some
one else. Resolve today to begin building for your future
business success. Do not be indifferent, but make a start
by determining to deposit a part of all your earnings with
