*4 BETTER FARMING HINTS. i*
NO BREED OF HOGS IMMUNE.
Hog oholera is again command
ing the attention of the farmers ir
many sections of Arkansas anc
should be given serious attentioi
\ at this time, says Dr. R. M. Gow
state veterination. There are al
ways more hogs losf in winter fronr
cholera than in summer because
the animals are usually brought ur
and are consequently in closet
contact; thus, the diseased animals
SDread the cholera among the
healthy animals. Farmers should
not be fooled. There is no breed
of hogs naturally immune from hot,
cholera. ‘The only way to eradi
cate the disease is to clean up. out
. neighborhoods and this can be done
by organizations among the farm
ers for a systematic fight against
the disease. Whole communities
must get together and enforce the
• burning of dead hogs and other san
itary regulations. If this work not
done, cholera will continue to break
out and the only way to play safe
under present conditions is to vac
cinate. Vaccination Will not erad
icate the disease, but the double
treatment will immune the animals
treated. Pork is worth too much
regardless of quality for the farm
ers who have hogs to take the risk
of losing them. Immediate action
is always the only safe course
against cholera. For particulars
write lo the State Veterinarian, old
state house. Little Rock.
VALUABLE CHARTS.
In older to show the doubting
farmer that other crops, if raised
on Arkansas land, will yield large
returns and be as valuable as cot
ton many interesting charts are be
^ng made at this time under the di
rection of Dean Martin Nelson, of
the College of Agriculture. These
charts will be made up into sets
anddistributed among the speak
ers who will be engaged in the
campaign. The charts are 54x54
inches in size and * the type used is
large enough to be seen at a dis
tance of 100 feet. It is hoped that
by using these charts the speakers
engaged can show the farmers
facts and figures which will prove
to him the necessity of Arkansas
feeding herself,if we are to be most
prosperous. The business men of
the state who have seen these
charts have already said many
cojnplimentary things concerning
them. The following chart which
shows what the average men can
do with five acres of land properly
cultivated with the right kind of
crops is a good example of the
charts being made and is wocth
studying: ,
3 acres corn and cowpeas.

cowpea hay. $140.00

(State Road* Meeting.
Secretary R. ©. Schaefer, of Lit
tle Rock, announces that the 1917
meeting of the Arkansas Good
Roads ‘Snd Drainage association
will be held at the Hotel Marion
auditorium Jan. 18 and 19. One
feature of the program will be
moving pictures of road construc
tion. Every town through its may-'
or. every county through its judge
ind every commercial organization
•s expected to send de'egates
fheretis more interest in gooc
-oads in Arkansas than ever before.
This is due to several causes.
One is the fact that thousands of
Jollars of government funds awai'
iistribution in Arkansas ' for roar
mprovement, that the Alexaodei
road law has been tried out anc
found workable and that a numbei
of national highways through th>v
state. • are *projecte.d and have
caused many local good roads or
ganizations to become active.

Organize farm Loan.
There will be a meeting of farm
ers in the office of Judge Neil C.
Marsh in El Dorado at 10 o’clock, I
Saturday, Jan. 6, to organize a!
farm loan association. All persons
who are interested are cordially in
vited to attend and assist us in the
organization. It is the farmers
opportunity in this county to pro
cure cheap money on a long term
to improve or buy th'eir farm. The
federal farm loans will be ready for
distribution by the time they can
effect a permanent organization.
Discard the Frying Pan.
''We must break away from the
continual use of fried focds and
soaked with greasy meat fat if we
are to be well and happy,"says Miss
Marcella Arthur, specialist in home
economics of the Extension Divis
ion of the University of Arkansas.
‘iSuch foods &re hard t» digest and
causes intestinal disorders because
their digestion can not be carried
on by the stomach but - must be
carried on largely by the intestines,
thereby often giving the intestines
three times as much as they are
supposed to do. Is it an^ wonder
they give us trouble and wear out?
Give the children and husband a
chance. Discard the frying pan
and use the roasters and kettle
more. Instead o£ using fried eggs,
hive poached, boiled, scrambledf
baked or egg omelet. Instead of
frying potatoes, boil, * mash, bake,
cream or scallop them. « Avoid
fried meats continually and have
stews, pot roasts, oven roasts or
fricassee. Rather than cook veg
etables with fat meat all the time,
it would be much better to cook
them in clear water and then seas
on with bacon, salt, pepper, cream,
butter or mash. These methods
will make foods 'just as palatable
but more wholesome and easily di
gested affd the whole family will be
healthier, better matured and able
to do better work."

Judging by the Odor.
The Swedish jitney driver drew
up beside *the road, jumped out
and with wrench in hand, crawled
under tlje auto. Taking- advantage
of the stop, the only passenger, a
German.-proceeded to eat lunch,
consisting mainly of Limburger
cheese. Suddenly the driver
emerged from beneath the machine
and .with bulging eyes and a hand
on his nose, stood staring at the
auto,
“What's tihe matter?" inquired
the German innocently, between
mouthfuls of cheese.
“Ay don't know,” said Ole, “b”t
Ay tank the engine bane dead."—

Retufrt Addresses.
We notice in the Postmaster
General’s report a sugge^jon that
people writing letters should sifn
theirTull name and address to their
letters, and there would never be a
letter but what could be returned if
it failed to reach the person it was
intended for. The report suggests
cbbetter way than that, too, but one
w> ich is a little more expensive.
Tnat is to have a small card print
ed on the corner of the envelop.
This will cost only fl trifle and if
the letter cannot be delivered to
the address, or the address shjuld
be wrong, the letter would xome
back in the course of five to seven
days. instead,of going5 through the
dead letter office, and finally being
returned to the writer after a
lapse of two we^ks or more. The
latter suggestion is much th^ best
and can be adopted at a very small
expense. _._*
December Weather.
The highest temperature record
ed here during the month of De
cember by the government ther
mometers was 80 degrees on the
5th, and the lowest was 15 degrees
on the 22nd. The rainfall for the
l^nonth was 2.41 inches.
PROUD OF LITTLE BEARCAT
Mr. Gup JoWnson Naturally Elated at
Small Son’s Linguistic Ability in
an Emergency.
“My least liny, Bearcat. showed off
sonic itt (lie cnntiiTn in (lie seloi.lhcuse
Hilhcr night." relates Mr. Gap John
son of Kumptis Beige, according to a
wriicr in Judge. “Mongst other things
iliey perpetrated a tableau railed
‘Empty is the Cradle; Unity's Cone:’
They had a table on the platform,
and Bearcat, all trimmed lift in a white
robe with wings on the lank, was lying
in it, with a belt around his waist un
der the gown and a wire running over
a hook in the ceiling and out through
a hole in the winder pane. *
“The Glee club was idling to get off
the song, and at the proper moment a
hunch of hoys outside would pull the
wire and haul Bearcat up'ards, per
doocln’, it was estimated, a solemn and
moving spectacle.
“But they wanted to have the tab
leau along towards the last, and as
the platform w as small and they didn't
have any scenery they put Bearcat in
the cradle and set ’em hack of the
teacher's desk before tlnacrowd came.
He is only four years old and nneher l
enough he fell asleep, and when the
Glee club turned loose it didn't wake
him.
“The first tiling he knew he was
climbing heavenward out of a dream
with something pulling at him. For
getting where he was he gave a yell
and grabbed the cradle. Up they went,
Bearcat, cradle and all. The load was
heavier tlian the hoys outside ex
pected, am1 they buckled to it ^ight
ably. So when the kid dropped tin*
cradle about three-quarters of the way
up, the reaction caused the boys to
yank him against the ceiling, with
a fury that like to have busted the
poor little feller's crust. You never
heard such cussing out of a four-year
old in all your life. Although lie's my
boy, I had no idee lie was half so
fluent.”

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constKutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the I Hood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing Its work. The proprie

powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

SPLENDID BARGAIN FOR JOEL
Citizens' Committee Vlad Good Idea,
but It Didn’t Work Out as They
Had Planned It. *
<Tho shiftless owner <if n worthless
nlil horse, Joel Turner, had been in
the hnbit of feeding the animal from
the cribs of his more enterprising
neighbors, untiI the patience of ids
victims was completely exhausted.
They hnd caught him in the net of
helping himself to corn a number of
times, and so there was plenty of
evidence fo convict him; but on ac
count of his family and ills vindictive
disposition, no one wanted to prose
cute him.
One day, when Joel’s neighbors
were discussing the situation. Someone’
suggested that it would be an act of
mercy—which would also solve their
problem—if they bought the old horse
and put it out of its misery.
This suggestion the conference
adopted. They subscribed a purse of
$10, and sent a committee of one to
buy the horse.
Were the plan was threatened with
failure. The committee reported (hat
Jpel did not want to sell.
After a few days, Jesse Winfield,
who thought himself something of a
diplomat, undertook to negotiate the
sale, and to his surprise found Joel
not only willing hut anxious to sell the
horse. a •
. “That," snkj* Jesse, In a congratu'n
tor.v tone, as In- handed over%ihe ten
dollars, “was a good deal for yon.
You'll get lots more* good cut of (tie
ten dollars than you would out of (lie
old hQrsp."
“That’s right." assented Joel. ,“I
know where 1 can buy a team for tea
dollars."—Tooth's Companion.
