Every dog has his day. but there is a
time when there are more dogs than
days. That time is the present. and, in
view of this fact. the city authorities
have made preparations to reduce the ex-
cessive surplus of dogs. The crop seems
to have been been rather prolific this
year. and As q result the city is over run
with CANNES ranging from the bench-leg-
ged fee to the St. Bernard. The tax this
year Is one dollar for males, and two dol
lars for females. and as this tax must be
paid. it behooves those owning valuable
dogs to see to the matter before their
dogs fall into the hands of the dog
catcher.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

The Ford county agricultural asso-
citation met at the court house in regu.
lar session April %, a. l o'clock p. m
with j. L. Finley in the chair. Min
utes of the previous meeting were read
and approved. The subject of Oliver.
sity of Farming was discussed by
Mayrsth, Grantham, James and 9th
ers. 1t was decided that it would be
best to not depend too much on corn,
but in addition to plant kaffer corn,
milo maize, rice corn, sorghum and
millet. Mr.. Mayrath stated that he
had on hand now some hogs that were
fat and their only feed was sorghum.
The time of planting corn was also con,
sidered and was decided as the sense of
the meeting that it was the safer plan
to plant early and late varieties, and
also plant at different intervals. Mr..
Mayrath suggested that farmers ought
to give more attention to the vegetable
garden. as good supply of fresh veg.
esables would lessen the grocery bills.
The subject Of holding a county fair in
the fall was discussed, but no defnate
plan was reached and the subject will
be more fully discussed at the next
meeting. 1t is hoped that a full at
tendance will be had. There being nc
further business the association ad
journed. JOHN GooDwINE,
