Hogs and Alfalfa.

Last Saturday j. II. Churchill received
fve-months old Poland China pig from
noted breeder, which cost him fifty
dollars. We were out to see him Tues
day. He is a perfect beauty and his name
is written down among the most aristo-
cratic porkers of America. His sires are
among the most noted prize winners in
the United States. While there we took
stroll around the place, and found that
hog raising is becoming quite feature
of the old Zimmerman homestead.
There were fattening pens with great
jumbo like hogs that would weigh near
500 pounds apiece; other pens in which
half grown animals were being crowded
for an early market. There were stock
hogs running Oat ia the alfalfa fields with
rings on their noses to keep them from
roofing the ground into hills and caverns.
They can get lots of nourishment all
winter by nipping off the top of the roots,
then little alfalfa hay is scattered on
the clean meadow occasionally for them
to chew on for change. The stock
hogs and shoats are evidently thriving
On this fare. They lock healthy and in
fine condition for stock hogs. The brood
sows are kept separate from the others.
and in stys under cover, were filters Of
young pigs. Each mother accompanied
by her young, having an apartment TO
herself. The little chaps were plump
and hearty, and quite interesting. There
is nothing like alfalfa to keep the mother
healthy and producing abundant nurish-
ment for the pigs. The pig pens are on
south hillside, and the soil Is so filled
with gypsum or crude plaster-of-paris.
that it does not get muddy enough to
hurt,hence the swine look nice, clean and
healthy. la fact, it is as nice a lot of
hogs as we ever saw, and the mainstay
of their growth from infancy up to fat
tening time is alfalfa, little corn is
added to finish them up.
Mr.. Churchill has been making beef
cattle specially for converting alfalfa
hay into cash heretofore. but hereafter
both hogs and cattle will be used in this
connection.
He is preparing to put the fine bottom
land known as the McCarty place, recent
ly purchased, into alfalfa.

As we predicted the blizzard came and
about six inches of snow fell and OH all
ground that was not plowed last fall the

places it was one foot deep and now after
the past week of warm weather the wheat

Everybody is busy preparing to sow
oats and barley. There would be con-
siderable of the latter sown if the seed
could be had at reasonable price. Corn

for several years this spring. Quite an
acreage of alfalfa will be sown in the
valley this spring.
Sheriff Beeson stopped for dinner at
C.E. HaywoOd' siast Wednesday. He had
a span of horses, buggy and harness that

and sold to livery man. The owner of
the team was along. Mr., Beeson got
telegram at West Plains station that
man who answered to the description of
the thief had been arrested in Arkansas.

The first thunder storm Of the season
occurred Saturday night and about one
half inch of water fell. This adds greatly
to the already good prospects for wheat
crop.

We wave our hands and bid farewell,
We smile and say adieu,
We give our parting friends God speed
With blessings ever new.
We take the hand in cordial grasp,
We press the brow and cheek,
While fingers on the lips which hold
One word we cannot speak.
With beating hearts and puls!ng veins,
With thought too deep for speech.
We tell our hopes and breathe our fears,
Each answering unto each:
With sadness tingeing gladstone tones,
With swelling. moistened eye
We press, In turn, tho trembling lips
