of the following bill, as a com

That the boards of supervisors in

said:
"The passage of this bill means
that new era of genuine pros.
perity will be ushered III. The
eradication of the cattle tick and
the prevention of contagious,
infectious and communicable
diseases in live stock will more
than offset the bad effects of the
boil weevil. The eradication of
the cattle tick and the develop
ment of the live stock industry
will create a better balanced
system of farming--one that
will include more crops to enrich
instead of wear out our land :;
one that will include more live
stock to consume the surplus
farm products and leguminous
crops that must be grown to en-.
rich the land and to make ma
nure to still further enrich the
land.
Good live stock is the founda-
ton of successful farming in
every country of the world. The
old one crop system means a poor
soil and poor soil means a poor
people, and poor people means
bad roads, uncomfortable homes,
poorly equipped farms, very
little education, the credit system
and in fact all that retards civili-
zation. Nothing will so enhance
the price of land and increase
the revenue of the farmer as will
the eradication of the cattle tick.
and the consequent development
of the live stock industry.
The cattle tick sucks the blood
and irritates the skin of animals,
kills many cattle by tick fever,
and causes the United States
government to impose a quarran-
tine which lowers the price of
cattle about one cent per pound.
Cattle immune from the fever
suffer very SERIOUS drain on ac-
count of the large amount of
blood drawn from them by the
ticks. When a Mississippi farm
er ships a load of cattle to the
Northern market, they are I'M
loaded into quaranti pens, and
classed as tick infested animals
and must be sold for immediate
slaughter at about one cent less
per pound than is given for cat
tie of like quality from above

Pork Production.

. tHog raising offers the farmers of
this state an opportunity to make
quick, sure, and big money. Many
farmers will not be able to grow cot
ton proftably on a large part of their
farms. The Government does not
advise farmer to plant exceedingly
fertile land or late land in cotton.
The cotton generally grows too rank
on very fertile soil and it is impossi-
bic to make an early crop on late
land, Consequently thousands of

and food crops.
we can no longer raise cotton to
buy pork. No man has ever been
able to give a sensible reason for
growing cotton to pay for bacon and
lard instead of growing cheap lepum-
lnous crops to raise hogs. No man
has ever been able to give a sensible
reason for feeding corn from ween-
ing time till killing time instead of
raising hogs on pasture grasses, oats,
potatoes, sorghum and cheap legum-
nous crops, If we wish to make the
greatest success raising hogs, we
must grow cheap crops for the hogs
to harvest.
We need good hogs to manufac-
ture grasses, peanuts, peas, rape,
chutas, sweet potatoes, soy beans,
artlchokes and other farm products
into bacon and lard Bermuda or
carpet grass will keep a hog in good
growing condition all summer.
Excellent winter and early spring
pasture can be obtained by sowing
hairy vetch, white, red or burr clover
seed broadcast on bermuda or carpet
grass sow early in the fall. Peanuts,
sweet potatoes, chufaS and artichokes
planted in April make excellent feed
for hogs in the fall and winter. Two
paintings of peas may be made in
April, one of an early variety and one
OF late variety. The two varieties
may be planted at the same time again
in June or July. Very little corn
will be necessary.
CoWpeas without grain have given
SO far better results at our experiment
stations 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 4S3 pounds per
acre. The hogs were turned in
when the first pods began to ripen.
Prof. Duggar, at the Alabama
Station, found an acre of Spanish
peanuts on poor gravelly land produc-
ed 900 pounds of liveweight of hogs,
and an acre of cowpeas about 400
pounds. No country on earth has
such advantages for raising 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 1872 pounds of
nitrogen; and an acre of velvet beans
contained 19l pounds; and an acre
of cowpeas 108 pounds. These
crops made from two to three tons of
feed Stufs richer in food elements
than wheat bran Such feed stuffs
can be harvested by hogs without ser
ious loss of fertilizing value and con-
sequently there is no excuse for poor
land and the shipping of pork and
lard into Mississippi.

Well lift pleading voice to-day,

Both enduring and exhaustless
Are the riches we may claim
In His peace which passeth know

THE BROWNE JURY DISAGREES
Case-States Attorney Says Jury Was Fixed.

Chicago. June 30.-The jury which heard the evidence against Lee O'Neil Browne, the legislator accused of brib- cry in connection with the election of senator. was discharged without hay ing agreed upon a verdict.
 Following the discharge of the jury the states attorney. Mir Wayman, said the case offered the most fragrant case of jury fixing he had ever known" He added "The jury was packed from the start"
 The states attorney declared that men had been signaling jurors from the windows of a hotel across the street from the windows of the crim- inal court building.
 T won't have those fellows around the courtroom again, Tagging the jurors" he added If they attempt 1t in the next trial or in any other trial I shall have them arrested at once. One big fellow worked some of the younger fellows on the jury to his side. He was the king pin of them all.
 The jury went out Friday afternoon and remained in session 115 hours. The longest previous session in this county was in the first trial of Adolph Leutgert for murder, when the ses- sion lasted seventy-four hours without an agreement.

DENIED A NEW TRIAL
JUDGE LATSHAW RENDERS DEcic. ION ON THE US. HYDE
 MOTION.
SAYS VERDICT WAS JUSTlFI-
The Kansas City Physician Will B. Sentenced to Life Imprisonment Mex. Tuesday--Prisone Showed No Emo ton When Decision Was Rendered.

Kansas City. June 30.--Dr. D. Clark Hyde'5 only hope now !s !n the sr- preme court of Missouri. His motion for a new trial was denied by Judge Latshaw He will be sentenced Tues day morning to life Imprisonment. An appeal will be taken at once to the states highest court.
 If Doctor Hyde felt keen disappoint ment his face did not betray it. He showed no emotion as Judge Latshaw read his lengthy decision. taking away his last chance of immediate retriaI and liberty. For an hour the judge quoted decisions and opinions uphold. ing the states contention that no CT TOT had been committed in his trial Doctor Hyde sat impassive. seemingly almost bored by the proceedings.
 Showed No Emotion.
 And the motion for a new trial herein is accordingly denied" the judge said handing the opinion to the clerk for record Not muscle quiv. cred in the physician's face. He drew his watch from his pocket. gazed al it intently. as if curious to ascertain how much time the judge had con. sumed in giving his decision. The watch evidently was stopped. He peered at the large clock In the rear of the courtroom. Then he set his own timepiece, rose from his chair and went with Mrs. Hyde into the little anteroom.
 Although the decision of the court was generally forecasted as a denial of the motion, a typical Hyde case audience filled the courtroom. Mrs, Hyde sat by her husbands side as usual She was dressed in white. but wore the same black coat that she wore during the trial She appeared rather bright and cheerful. but said little during the morning. She was accompanied by her friends. Miss Laura Hyde, sister of the prisoner; Miss Mary Flaven and Miss Palmer.
 A Just Verdict.
 One of the striking paragraphs oi Judge Latshaw's decision was that in which he said that in his opinion the evidence justified the verdict
 Without attempting to review the evidence" he said, "or to comment upon the branches, or force or effect thereof, t appears to be ample at least to support the finding and verdict of the tryers of fact There Is nothing in the record to disclose any bias passion or prejudice on the part oi the jury which tried this case"
 The opinion read. John H. Lucas made the usual objection Frank Welsh. chief attorney for Doctor Hyde, was called out of the city and could not attend the hearing, Mir Lucas saved the usual exception and then filed motion for arrest of judgment, asserting that the indictment was i'm. proper; the evidence not sufficient.
 The motion will be decided Tuesday. l. will be denied and the prisoner Immediately sentenced to life impris onment. Then the attorneys for the physician will file their application for appeal to the supreme court.
