HOG CHOLERA
Severai cases of hog cholera
have been reported south of
the river. One or two men
have lost almost their entire
herd and several have lost
one or two hogs. It is strongly
recommended and urged that
every man who has not vac
cinated do so at once. This
vaccination is a very cheap
form of insurance and should
not be overlooked by anyone.
The time to vaccinate is BE
FORE cholera gets into your
herd and not after your hogs
get sick for then it is too late.
For the spring pigs the cth
will be from 35 to 45 cents
each. The larger the hog the
more the vaccination will cos'.
As you will see from the
above the time to do the work
is when the pigs are from two
to four months old. At this
time they are old enough to
take the double treatment
wrhich can be given then
cheaper than at any ether
time. If you are not prepar
ed to do this work or have n
neighbors who can do it tin
County Agent will be glad t-.
come to any part of the coun
ty to help you out. Remem
ber that he is here to help you
in any way possible.
TIME TO CUT ALFALFA
Recent experiments have
shown that for a period of
years larger yields are obtain
ed and better stands main
tained where alfalfa is not cut
until well in bloom. This
holds true even though the
basal shoots have made suffi
cient growth to be caught by
the mower.
THE SQUASH BUG
The squash bug, commonly
known as the “stink-bug" be
cause of its disagreeable odor,
is controlled by clean culture.
Plow or spade as soon as the
crop is harvested, hand pick
the adults as soon as they ap
pear, and crdlect eggs which
are deposited in brown mass >s
on the underside of the leaves.
Use a contact spray on the
immature forms of 40 per
cent nicotine sulphate, 3-4
pint; soap, 4 pounds; and wa*>
er, 50 gallons.
KEEP THE MILK COOL
If you are not prepared to
keep ice for the milk and milk
products figure on using the
spring for keeping it cool. You
can put the house over th<
spring or put it some distance
away and pipe the water
through it. It is useless te
say that for the best results
in keeping milk that it should
be kept in a cool place. Use
the spring for something be
sides drinking water.
BUR CLOVER
The following is an extract
from a letter recently receiv
ed from L. W. Osborn, of the
Arkansas Experiment Station,
“If you haven’t any Bur Clov
er. plant at least a tenth of an
acre cn your richest garden
soil in July, August, dr early
September; the earlier the
better. You will have a good
seed patch next year and then
it won’t be long before you
will have it scattered over tlm
entire farm. Don’t fail to
start Bur Clovr. It’s great.”
Bur Clover will serve you
in three different ways; it will
improve the soil; serve as a
winter cover crop; and as a
winter pasture.

I ALL KILLS WOMAN
• 'S. Mary Jane Casteei,
wife of Elbert"Casteel of Bu
iord, in Baxter County, met a
horrible death Friday when
she stepped on a loose rock
on the high bluff near Nellie’s
Apron, on White River, and
plunged to her death below.
She and her sister, Mrs.
Don Haney of Cartney, were
gathering wild currants on
the side and top of the bluff
when the accident happened.
Mrs. Casteel noticed a heavily
loaded bush overhanging the
bluff and endeavored to reach
them. As she reached over a
small loose stone on which
she was standing gave way;
she lost her balance and
plunged to her death. She
struck on a rocky ledge 75
ieet below, and rolled and fell
t< he bottom of the cliff, l!
is evident that when she
struck the first ledge it killed
her, tor her skull was crushed
and her neck broken.

and Tempy Knight, came to
Independence County Ark
ansas, in October 1872, at
which place she resided the
remainder of her life.

union has born twelve child
ren, as follows: Kelly F. July
19th, 1886; Butler O., Julv
16th, 1888; Homer C., Feb.
11th, 1890; Joseph K., Oct.
3rd, 1892; All of the above
now residing in Oklahoma.
Adler E., March 22nd, 1895,
and now residing in Batesvillc
Cornelius C., December 10th,
1900 Laura E., December
5th, 1902; Mabel W., Sept.
30th 1906; Marvin L., April
13, 1909; and Malcomb. and
Mabran R., (twins) April 19,
1912. All cf these now resid
ing at Sulphur Rock, except
ing Mabel who died at the
age of four and one half

Mrs. Gibson is now survived
By her husband David Clar1
Gil son, together with eleve ■
childrn, thirteen Grandchild
ren. both of her parents J. M
and Tempey Knight, two bro
thers, W. B. Knight < f Little

one half-sister, Mrs. Nannie
l .cm aster of Chicago.
She became a believer in

whom she kept her member
ship until 1&1G at which time
she united with the Mission
ary Baptist, and remaine !
with them until the date of
her death, May 21, 1.921.
To attempt tc express the
grief and sadness occasioned
b% hi loss, words seem hol
low and without meaning; for
to he i companion she was a
helpmeet, a comfort in an
hour of sadness; to her chil
dren. a sculptor and from their
. plastic natures, she moulded
men and women of usefulness,
possessed with moral princi
i
| pals and courage.
What then can we say"
Naught but this “That by the
divine help of our creator, we
shall emulate the example set
by her" and like her, we will
| “so live that when cur sum
mons comes to join the in
numerable Caravan that moves
tthe pale realms of death, we
go, not like the quarry slave
;v.!n iged to his dungeon, but
(sustained and soothed by that
(unfaltering faith, we will
draw the drapery of our couch
i about us, like him that lieth
down to pleasant dreams ”
