LITTLE INTEREST
Manifested in the City Election il Pine Bluff Tuesday. s


 About the only visible sign of the fact that city election is being held in Pine Bluff today was the closing of the doors of the saloons in the city. Around the polling-places everything vas calm and serene. and the cleo. tion judges had very little to do. The fact that there was no opposition to any of the candidates for office serv. cd to kill interest, and one of the li"htost votes in the city's history was polled.
 Following is the ticket elected:
 City clerk-W A. Lee.
 City attorney-W. F. Coleman.
 Alderman of the First ward-Fred Fox.
 Alderman of the Second ward-J " U"dsOn. : Alderman of the Third ward-C. F nn"nineton.

Shoeing a Horse

Outing Magazine: The shoe should
be nailed on firmly, with not over six
nails, and these driven so that, while
they take a wide hold of the horn,
they come out for clinching low down
chances of pricIing the sensitive por-
tons, and also enabling the nail-holes
to quickly grow down and disappear.
The nails should be driven with sun
dry rather gentle taps, rather than
with few blows, as thus any split
ting or indirection of the nail points
may be readily detected, as the ami
NAL will finch before the quick is
really touched The driven nails
should not be drawn" to vigor-
ously in clinchnig, lest discomfort
or pain ensue; should be filed gently,
that they may clinch easily, and the
cllnches themselves hammered smooth
and rasped with as little disturbance
OF the horn as possible, that the beaut-
iful enamel with which nature has
covered all hoofs may be uninjured.

make but $50 pounds of butter year
ly With good care and feed is not
profitable to keep on the dairy farm.
Provide plenty of rough and con
centrated feed in the fall to last for
the whole season. Also provide good,
comfortable, warm, well ventilated
stables.
Keep all utensils that come in con.
tact with milk, cream, or butter
scrupulously clean at all times. Sun
light is the best bacteria destroyer
known.
Keep milk free from Objectionable
doors, which contain bad bacteria.
Lower the temperature of the milk
or cream at once after milking and
keep it low until delivered to the
creamery.
Never mix warm and cold milk or
cream. This will destroy the good
quality of both forever. No remedy
can fix up this mistake.
Deliver the cream or milk to the
creamery as often as possible, the
more often it is delivered the better
its quality.

An Enemy of the Potato BUD

VIM. Hanes of Kosciusko county
has sent us some bugs that he says
were found feeding upon potato bugs
AS they did not seem familiar to us
we forwarded them to the United
States Agricultural Department al
Washington, d. c., for Identification
and here is the reply of Prof. L. O.
Howard, Chief of the Bureau of En-
tomology: 'sThe insects which you
send, and which you state has been
reported to you by farmer as feed
ing on the Colorado potato beetle,
which is known scientifically as Lep-
ktotarsa 10-lineata, is one of the
soldier bugs in the larval form, known
as Podisus cynicus. This species has
been reported as an enemy of the
potato beetle, and hence your cor
respondent is right in his observation.
This is only one of about 35 to 40
welLEnown enemies of this potato
pest.
A publication on the Colorado pota-
to beetle is now in course of prepar-
alton, and | will place your name on
a list of those who are to receive
copies as soon as it is issued"
We know the fully developed
soldier bug, having seen him at work
years ago, but had never seen the
larva before. Our only objection to
the bug is that he does not multiply
rapidly enough, to keep down the Col
orado pest. Why doesn't our Agri-
cultural Department establish a sold
Ter bug hatchery and grow them by
the million? Indiana Farmer.

Dry Feed For Chickens

The value of cracked corn and beef
scraps compared with moist mash
has recently been tested at the Maine
Experient Station with the results
not pronouncedly in favor of either
method. The cost of feed and straw
of the lot receiving the mash was
$1.73 per bird per year and of the lot
receiving dry feed $1.69 The yearly
yield per hen was Isl each on moist
feed, and 149 on dry feed No marked
difference was noted in the health of
the two lots of pullets experimental
with. When the birds helped them
selves to the beef scraps they ate f4.7
pounds per year as against 81 pounds
in the case of those fed on the mash.
The method of feeding chickens at
this station is as follows: For two
or three days after Matching they are
supplied with mixture of infertile
eggs (shells included) boiled for half
an hour, ground in a meat chopper
and mixed with about six times their
bulk of rolled oats. After about the
third day the mixture is gradually re-
placed by a moist mash made of

Alfalfa and Milk Cows

Alfalfa has proven a most excellent
food for cows. Here is what Prof
Fraser of the University farm of Ill
inois says of it:
Alfalfa is one of the best crops to
grow for soiling, for two reasons. 1t
furnishes larger amount of nutri
ment per acre than any other crop
grown, and because it grows I'D rap
Idly after being cut off and furnishes
a continuous supply of green feed.
When fairsized field is cut over a
portion each day as needed for feed.
the first side of the field is ready for
cutting again.
Under proper conditions this crop
Will yield four tons of air-dry hay per
acre, and on the university farm it
has yielded eight and one-half tons
per acre. With yield of four tons it
furnishes more than twice as much
protein as clover (three tons per acre)
and about three times as much pro-
tein as corn at sixty bushels per
acre.
Many farmers have failed in at
tempting to grow alfalfa. but it has
been proven repeatedly that in most
sections of Illinois alfalfa can be
grown successfully if attention is Civ
en- to lining, inoculating the soil and
getting all the conditions right.
Corn silage and alfalfa. two of
the best feeds for dairy cows make
practically complete or balanced
ration in themselves Several years
experience in supplying the univer-
sity dairy herd with various kinds of
soiling crops in midsummer has led
to this high recommendation of corn
silage and alfalfa

mixture of bran, cornmeal, middlings
or red dog -four, linseed meal and fine
beef scraps wet up with a little water
The hard broken grains, it is stated,
may be safely used all the time in
stead of the neal mixture but the
checks do not grow as fast as when

dry is fed"

The Hen versus the Cow

BY comparison of the intrinsic
value of an individual hen and her
cost of maintenance for year we
find that in proportion to her value
and cost she far exceeds the returns
given by the cow Fifty good laying
bullets are worth no more than good
grade dairy cow-considering their
utility only, and eliminating from the
comparison their value for exhibition
or fancy breeding purposes Fifty
good strong utility pullets, if given
good common sense management, will
yield a profit for a year, over and
above their feed of seventyfive dol
lars-one dollar and half per hen
per year If the same flock of hens
lis given scientific treatment the in
come may be greatly increased. |
think it is safe to say that there are
few COWS n the state of Connecticut,
which when their feed is paid for, re-
turns a net profit of seventy-fve dol
j lars year to her owner In short,
Il am almost tempted to challenge
your presiding officer, who is the Pres
ident of the Dairymen'S Association
to show me one utility COW in the
State that is doing as much for her
owner. | make this comparison not
for the purpose of dsparaging the
dairy interests of the state, but to en-
phasise the possibility of the hen as a
staple farm product. More especially
should it be emphasized in those cases
of steriliZed farms where even the soil
is too poor for even ordinary grazing.
1t is safe to say that a large percen-
tage of Connecticut farms have one or
more acres unfit for even pasture
Such land is ideal land for poultry
provided it is dry. A field of rocks
growing up to sprouts and briars is
an ideal situation for poultry, and can
be made to return handsome profit
to the owner.
1t is not to be supposed, however, |
that poultry will thrive without care
The trouble with poultry in the past
has been that it has been neglected. |
The average farmer belittles the hen |
and considers her beneath his digni- |
ty-of no value, and fit only for the |
attention of the women folks. If the |
average farmer would keep a flock
of from one to three hundred laying
hens, and give them half the care he
gives his cows and hogs, he would
find the balance sheet at the end of
the year in favor of the hens. There
is saying that "a hen will eat any
thing a hog will and make a good |
deal better use of it," If the farmers
of this state would raise less pork and
more fowl, feed more clean, whole
some grain to their hens, and less
brewery refuse to their cows we would
find less farm mortgages begging for
takers. Connecticut Farmer.

Too many young men are leaving
the farm. The spirit of unrest is in
the air. Some men are amassing
money rapidly, and when the farmers
son hears of this the tendency is I'M
settling. Farming to him seems
slow way of making money. He, too,
must try his hand. He may be an
only son. His home may be all that
could be desired. His opportunity to
distinguish himself in agriculture is
ever present, but he must go. Nothing
will keep him. In few instances he
succeeds. In more instances he fol
lows mirage which leads him on
and on in the realms of non-success.
Foolish farmers sons, why will they
act so foolishly? Why do they leave
a certainty for an uncertainty? Why
do they give up bread for husks? Ag-
riculture has always been one of the
surest OF callings, and so it always
will be.--Orange Judd Farmer.
