HUTTIG. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. MARCH 10. 191?
PRICE. $1 PER YEAR
ii BETTER FARMING HINTS, w
MORE MONEY IF HANDLED RIGHT.
With hogs selling at 13 cents
and above there is money in the,
swine industry for every farmer in
Arkansas but there is more money
in the business for a man who will
give it particular attention and pro
vide plenty of forage crops which
will give good grazing throughout
the year, thus reducing the cost
of production to a minimum. The
profit in any product of a farm lies
between the cost of production and
the selling price. Too often we do
not give the cost of producting any
commodity enough thought and at
tention. We think only of the sell
ing price.
nvery tarmer should plan to
have more hogs this year than ever
before. He should Droiect himself
by having his hogs immunized
against hog cholera and should en
deavor to supply plenty of forage I
crops for these animals. In the'
past we have too often tried to j
raise hogs on corn alone or wej
have turned them out on mast to 1
hustle for themselves. Both of
these methods are wrong. The
first one is too expensive and the j
latter gives only a small amount of
pork of poor quality and the hogs 1
are always exposed to diseases
The tests of the experiment sta- j
tion and the experience of the sue- j
cessful farmers have shown that ]
the cheapest and most successful
way of producing pork is with a
maximum amount of good pasture
and the minimum amount of corn.
J. H. McLeod, specialist in live
stock with the Extension Division, i
suggests the following crops with;
given acreage to furnish a success- i
ion of grazing for a litter of eight;
pigs from early spring until mark
eted in January:
1. Dwarf Essex rape. 2-5 of an
acre planted about Febr. 15 and
ready for grazing about April 15 or
May 1.
2. Amber sorghum, 2-5 of an
acre planted about April 1 and
ready to cut or graze about June
15 or July 1.
3. Medium yellow or Haber
landt soybeans, 2-5 of an acre
planted about April 1 and ready to
graze about July 15 or August 1.
4. Soybeans or cowpeas plant^
ed in corn at laying-by time ready!
to graze by fall. -i
All of these crops can be plantec*!
later than the date schedu'ed bu^
they should follow in succession ar.
listed in order to be sure that thertV
>1
will be feed at all times. The,c
acreage of crops as shown in this>'<
outline is based upon an experi-"
ment by the Arkansas experiment*
station and reported in bulletin'
No. 41.
WHY BURN THE STALKS?
On our thin and worn out soils,
instead of burning the stalks this
year and destroying valuable chem
ical elements, such as nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, lime, etc., would
it not be better, by far, to cut them
in short lengths with a stalk cutter
and turn them under,? says G.
W. Watson, state agent. Burning
stalks is nothing but a waste of
plant food that should be prevent
ed as most of thd above named
soils are deficient in organic mat
ter and we should save all stalks,
trash, etc., by turning under in or
der to keep all the fertility in these
soi’s.
The average acre of corn yields
about 3,000 pounds of stalks.
This means (.if they are burned)
the loss of about 25 pounds of ni
trogen and about 45 pounds of pot
ash, lime and phosphoric acid.
Can't we afford to cut up and
plow under stalks that are so valu
able as plant food? This, of course
should be done as early as possible
in order to get best results. Burn
ing stalks is a bad practice and one
that should be discontinued by ev
eryone. a practice that makes land
poorer year by year and every ef
fort should be put forth to prevent
such methods of wastefulness.

EARLY SCRIPTURES ALL LOST
Oldest Known Manuscripts Sh-iw the
Bible as It Existed Soon Atier
Apostolic Days.
The oldest Bible manuscripts now In
existence date from about 300 to 4ii<t
A. J>„ and show us the Bible its it ex
isted soon after the apostolic days.
All the earlier manuscripts were ei
ther lost or destroyed in the terrible
persecutions which were directed not
only against the Christians but against
their treasured sacred writings, their
enemies thus hoping to stamp out even
the slightest traces of Christianity.
The three oldest manuscripts now in
existence are known its tht Kinaitie,
the Alexandrian arid the Vatican man
uscripts, Die Christian Herald says.
The Sinaitie was found by the eminent
Biliie scholar. Tisehendorf, in a con
vent on Mount Sited in 1S44, It con
tains the Septungiut, other parts of
the Old Testament, the New Testa*
rnent complete, and some of the apoc
ryphal books. The writing, after a
’apse of more titan fifteen hundred
years, is still clear and legible. The
Alexandrian manuscript, which came
to light in BEiS. is not rjuite so ancient
as the Sinaitie. It has the old Testa
ment complete, except that ten leaves
are missing, and the New Testament
lacks nearly thirty halves. It is in the
British museum. The Vatican man
uscript—the most ancient of all—is it
great treasure, ('.insisting of about
seven hundred leaves of vellum hound
in book form. Part of Genesis is
missing, and also a number of the
psalms. The New Testament is com
plete up to Hebrews, ninth chapter.
Other early Bible manuscripts of great
value, but inferior to the three men
tioned are the Codex Kphraein and tin
Codex Bezae, besides which there is a
long list of later manuscripts.
Earthquake Caused Changes.
An effect of the Nevada earthquake I
| of the hist <\tie. rtor of linr» has boon
i tin increase to three or four times the
former amount in the flow of streams
! and springs throughout the northern
j part of the state. Observers have pro
: noun cod this earthquake more violent
j than the one that caused such disaster
: in San Francisco in 1!<<h>, hut in the
. thinly settled region tfie damage was
■ small. Beginning October 2. there j
i were more than 500 shocks within I
| 11 tree months. The most notable murk
j of the disturbance has been left oil tile
! east side of Pleasant valley, where the
I alluvial detritus at the base of the
! Sonoma range has settled away for a
vertical height of 5 to 12 feet and a j
horizontal width of N feet over a. dis
tance of nearly 25 miles.
The Kind Mother Uses”
‘Every time mother gets out Calu
met 1 know there’s going to he good
things to eat at our house. Delicious,
tender, tempting, doughnuts, biscuits,
cakes and pies! 1 ve never seen a hake
day failure with Calumet. Mother
says it's the only Baking Powder that
insures uniform results.'’
Cheap and big can Bakin? Powders do not
save you money. Calumet does i'.'s pure
and far superior to sour nuik and soda.

Getting Results.
Are you getting results for the hard work and close
attention you are giving to your business? Have you any
thing'to show for your last year's work except a mere living?
Too often we give all our time and thought to work
we are undertaking and do not stop to figure out the results.
If have made a good salary year after year, you should
have something laid up to show for it. If you have a farm
and have made good crops for many vears. you should have
a bank account to show tor vour net profits. If you have
been in habit of spending all you make, whether it be much
or little, resolve now to figure on the results of your work
and have something to show for it.
Deposit everything you can possibly save above your
living expenses, and at the end of the year you will have
results to show for your year's labor. We'll help you save.
