rIercy and Humane Work.

The plan of work and aim of the
Mercy Department of the w. c.
7. u. is to secure more widespread
knowledge of laws against cruelty
to people and animals, aud better
enforcement of tlem. To secure
the cooperation of the ministers of
the Gospel by requesting them to
preach upon the universal duty of
mercy toward all Gods creatures.
To discourage any practice which
involves the infictiou of suffering
on any living creature, all humane
work involves the same questions.
1t teaches children kindness to one
another and to all Gods creatures;
1t teaches them kindness to their
parents. How many parents have
gone to their graves heart-broken
because of the unkindness of their
children. There should be kind
ness in word and deed. How it
makes my heart ache to hear the
word 1.-THE old man" or "the old
lady from young lips that should
have only love and reverence for
Father and Mother. In our hu-
name work there IS ONE LAW FOR
ALL, the white man, and the black
man, rich and poor alike. The high
standing of man or-his money,
does not place him above the hui
name laws of the land. We recog-
nize neither friend nor brother
when the humane law is violated.
No more than the judge on the
bench can permit the laws of the
land to be disregarded and the vio-
lator go free, because he Is a. per-
sonal friend.
We have only to think of the
work of our great leader, Geo. S.
Angel, now dead, to spur us on
to noble deeds and greater work
for all humanity. He lived not for
self but for humanity. No one ev-
er had such a tenderly beautiful
burial as this dear old man. More
than two thousand work horses
lined the streets through which
the body was carried. Thirty-six
horses as honorary pall-bearerss

for his bulletin on Pork Production
and to keep in close touch with his
work.
The following succession of
crops is recommended by the
Louisiana Experiment Station ::
"Sow oats the latter part of Sep
tember for fall and winter grazing,
counting about fifteen or twenty
head of hogs per acre. Sow red
clover or crimson clover in Octo-
Der to be pastured after the oats,
late in January, and through Feb
ruary, March, and April. Sow
sorghum in early March to which
transfer hogs from clover. After
harvesting oats, plant Mexican
June corn and COW peas in a por-
tion of the land and peanuts and
sweet potatoes on the remainder.
Use the corn and a portion in pea
nuts for finishing off the hogs for
market, or slaughter at home"
Prof. Lloyd, one of the best
posted agriculturists in the state,
suggests the following plan for a
hog pasture: Goats and vetch
planted in September will furnish
grazing, December, January, Feb
ruary, March, and part OF April.
Cowpeas and peanuts planted in
April and May will furnish graz
ing July, August, September, Oc-
tober, and November. Artichokes
planted in April and May will fur
nish grazing, December and Janu-
ary. Dwarf Essex rape, planted
in February and March will fur
nish grazing May and June. Dwarf
Essex rape planted in August and
September will furnish grazing in
December and January. Bermuda
grasswith white or burr clover will
serve as a permanent pasture and
furnish grazing a greater part of
the spring, summer and winter"
CowPeas without grain have giv-
en- so far better results at our ex-
pertinent station than any other
crop tested. One season the peas
were grown on very poor hill land
and produced $50 pounds of pork
per acre. The next season the
crop was grown on bottom land
and produced 483 pounds of pork
per acre. The hogs were turned
in when the first pods began to
ripen.
Prof. Burgar, at the Alabama
Station, found an acre of Spanish
peanuts on poor gravelly land pro-
duced GOO pounds of live weight
of hogs, and an acre of cowpeas
about 400 pounds. No country on
earth has such advantages for rails
ing cheap pork and yet no country
raises SO little Of it.
We are. told in a bulletin issued
by the Louisiana Station that one
acre of Spanish peanuts grown on
poor. land at Calhoun contained
Io2 pounds of nitrogens worth at
commercial fertilizers value at least
S23. An acre of velvet beans con
tanned 1o1 pounds, and an acre of
cowpeas 1o8 pounds. These crops
made from twea-to three tons of
feed stuffs richer in food elements
than wheat bran. When such feed
stufs can be harvested by hogs
without serious loss of fertiIizing
value, is there any excuse for poor
land and the shipping Of pork and
lard into Mississippi.

vide for her and tha tshe was entitled

such an extent that she was about to
leave him, when friends intervened

lowing agreement if she would remain:
Whereas, Jacob Demers and Bessie
Demers were married on August 19,
1908, and a disagreement arose be-
tween the two parties. and it is the
object of both parties to restore conf
dence in each other. and for that pur-
pose the said Jacob Demers proposes
to deposit the sum of $500 to insure
his furnishing a good home for the
said Bessie Demers. and will provide

ject to be drawn on joint signature of
Frank NJ Cities. Abe Landfeld and
Bessie Demers, and paid to the said
Bessie Demers 80 days after date, Au
gust II, 1908.
