Profit in Feeding Hogs.

 Dear Sir:-Will you give space to young farmer who IS trying to make his farm pay? 1 am IS years old and own a 20-acre farm and in a few years 1 hope to make as much on my 20-acre farm as most of the farmers of Polk county are making on their large farms. l read Mrs. Woodman- sees article with great interest. 1 think the men of Polk county ought to try to farm better aud not let the women have to show them how. Mir. Fried wants to know something to sweeten his land so he can grow alfalfa. 1 can tell him something to sweeten his land. If he will save all his barnyard manure and spread it on his land, he can grow alfalfa. Mir. Fried said he never saw any alfalfa growing in Polk county. 1 have. He also says that he don't believe we can grow hogs on red clover. We'll, there is not much difference iu the feeding value of red clover and alfalfa. All the, difference is that alfalfa is just a little richer than red clover. Mir. Fried says he has II head of hogs "A months old and has fed them one bushel of corn each, and they weigh 10 pounds each. We'll, 1l0-pound hogs are pretty good ou one bushel of corn, but what is a 110-pound hog worth when it is not fat enoug b for pork and will take Is bushels of corn to make him weigh 200 pounds; besides, the meat won't be fit to eat when you get it, i, will be so wormy. With one acre of red clover and 50 bushels ol corn you can make 10 hogs weigh 200 pounds each at the age of six months. That would be $l a bu shel for your corn and $50 ar acre for your clover, and by blow. 1 tug your clover under every two years you can make 50 bushels te the acre.
 It looks like more money te feed hogs and make 50 bushels tC the acre than to starvc hogs aut make Is bushels to the acre, wher 1 by feeding hogs you can make
 1000 pounds of meat to the acrs and by starving hogs and making

Hog Raising Not Only Thing.
To the Editor of The Star.

l 70 Ihe EultOr or he star.
 Dear Sir; There is one side to this hog law question that has not been discussed, and that IS the side of the man who does not want to raise hogs. Those fifty year back hog raisers talk as if hog raising was the only thing. I don't want to raise hogs and I don't want to fence against other peoples hogs. 1 have forty acres to fence. Will these people who talk so much about fencing split rails for me to fence it hog-tight? /? I guess not. Talk is cheap, but $30 will buy wire to go three times around it if we can get the hog law passed; vote for it and get Arkansas abreast of the other states. Also let us all observe tbe Golden Rule of doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Let us live aud let live. Don't let us turn hoggish and want other people to feed our hogs and cattle. Let us be men and if we want to keep cattle and hogs see that they don't intrude on our neighbors.
 Yours respectfully,
 T. J. Lang throp.

Just .Chewing tte Rag. ]"
To the Editor..of The Star.

To the Editor.of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-As there is being so much said about the hog law, and as there has been nothing in your pa- per from these parts 1 thought I would stepi in and chew the rag awhile. Mr. Fulton seems to think that it would be a great help in fencing to have a hog law. Now we will see how much difference there would be in building a three-wire fence and an eight-rail fence. Good barbed wire will cost $3.50 per quar- ter, or $10 50 for three wires, and it will take about one hundred and sixty posts. It will cost $l at least to have the posts made, which would make $11 50. for a three-wire fence. For the rail fence it will take about 1900 rails at 50 cents per hundred or S9, to have the rails made, and the difference in putting them up is not
 
 very much.
 Now, ,lMr. Fulton, if have been rightly informed you have but about one hundred yards of fence, and that is around your lot at Cove. It must be lot of. trouble to keep up that lot of fence. l understand from your writing .that you never owned but two hogs, and some good hearted fellow gave them to you, and youIhave killed one of them. Now if you could get'a hog law you ought to make a dandy hog out of the other one. It looks curious that the farmers of this country had to live here so long before you cane down here from the North to dictate to them and tell them what they want ed. 1 don't know of but two men in this part of the country that are in favor of a hog law. One of them is a school teacher and the other is a real estate agent, and neither one of them owns a hog and never did, so far as 1 know. I will close by asking MT. Fulton to stop grumbling about a hog law.

He was raised poor boy on the farm. without the advantage of an early education; after reaching man. hood, he worked h,s way through the public school, the high school and college, graduating in one of the best colleges of the south. In order to pay up the debts in- cured while in school and get square with the world, he taught school few years and made quite a reputation in that line, and when admitted to the bar, he had been for two years supefintend- ent of the city schools of Texar- kama. For the last fifteen years. Mir. Bowling has been engaged in the practice of law at Ashdown and has easily ranked among the best lawyers of South west Arkan- sss.

Bowling learned lessons of economy, fru. gaIity, sobriety and industry
 that will serve him we'll as circuit judge m safeguarding the inter ests of the respective counties ir the circuit. In his later life. hs has had wide experience in deal ing with all classes of men, which has given him a breadth o

Hog Law ard Aggravation.
To the Editor of The Star.


 Dear Sir: 1 would like to have space to answer a few questions asked by Mir. Fulton in a recent issue of The Star regarding the hog law. He wanted to know iu the first place if the people of Polk county had their meat for 1910. Yes, every farmer that has put forth an effort at all has his meat for tue l2 months. There may be few of the shiftless kind he spoke of that have neg lected this important matter and have not provided for next year. Neither would they had there been a hog law.
 The next question he asked: Will it be best for the good of the greatest number to have a hog law? 1 answer, it will not, for great many people do not own land and how can a man have pasture unless he owns land to build it on, and th,re are a great many people who own laud which is not suitable for pasture un account of not having water or some other dlsadvant- age. Now 1 think 1t would be well enough for those that advo- cate the stock law to adopt MT. Wears plan and let their neigh bor do as he pleases with his stock. He says tbe neighbors' stock does not bother him because he has good fences. and that IS all Polk county needs now so far as stock law is concerned.
 Now MT. Fulton, in regard to the aggravation you spoke of. 1 have been where there was a hog law and from the best iuforma- tioa could get there was more aggravation there than where there is no stock law, for where there is stock law the people must keep their stock onfined and if MT. As stock gets out and goes over to MT. B's place B puts il up. MT. A goes after his stock, B demands pay for putting It up and A must go down in his pocket and pay the price or B can sell the stock. Now a law of this nature goes with a stock law. l visited two counties where they had hog law and about all l could hear was some difficulty concerning stock law, so MT. Full ton will have to get his temper under pretty good control if he doesn't get mad when we get a stock law.
 Ia answer n'to his question, "Where is our meat to come from 20 years hence?" Mr. Fulton, there is at least 75 per cent of Polk county that IS not agr.cul tural land and IS good for nothing but range and will not be 20 years from now, for the greater part of Polk county has been set apart ss a National Forest Reserve and the Forest service is supposed to improve the range and protect the timber for the benefit of the the people in the future. So you see we have the assurance of our meat 20 years hence.

PROHI AGITATORS
 ApC5t MINISTER
Indirectly Accuse the Rev. M. K. IT, yin of Nj. E. Church. South. of Being Al d With Saloons-A
 Reply From the Pulpit.

At the close of his sermon yes t rday al Il o'clock K V. NJ. K vln, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. made in substance the following state n.en':
 .Ol last Monday afternoon a fev ot our citizens, who were pro- nounced pronibitionists, were called together,to consider the ad- visa bllity of makin. an eff to petit on the saloons out of Mena. After due consider ition, i was decided that tue move at tn; tune would be unwise, and any eff ri in that direction was indefinite y postp med.
 Since that time Rvv. ]. G Adams invited one K V. Nap
 to our town, who has sin last Tuesday night been deliver ing a series of lee ares t tne M. E. church and on the street. MT. Adams called on MT. Irwin Friday morning to know If he would CO., operae with them in the move ment. Mr. Irwin exJ alesd Il, him the result of the m etins i. above referred to, on last Monday afternoon, and moreover that r was the judg gment of h's people to a man, so far as he knew, all oi whom were pronounced prohibi- tionists. that this was no time 0 spring this question. And tha' he, being a new man here and not familiar with local conditions as were the older citizens, could not. in the face of the combined judg- ment of his people and other ci,i zens. take hold of the m ovemeut.
 Since which MT. Map es has. in his lectures on the street and in the church, had occasio I to re fer to ministers who hesitate, and apologiz, and say it's not the time, etc !; that they were great or enemy 10 the cause ot temper ance than the man who sold the liquor. This was done more than oncc and in such a way as that every oue familiar with the condi- tiops know that he had had ref erence to Mir. Irwin. Mir. Irwin felt that his irony, sarcasm and rid,cule were not, only intended to wound him personally, but call culated [, injure him n his min istry, and iu the confidence of his own people, by his eudeavor to make the impression upon the pubic that he. Mir. Irwin was in league with the liquor men and a greater enemy 10 the cause ot temperance than the man who sold the liquor. However. he made the above statement that his attitude might be understood by the community in general.
 He stated further that MT. Adams did the evening before or that morning phone the president of his, Mir. Irvin's official board, to have the evcning service at Mir. lrvin's church called in, and ali join in union service at the Baptist church, conducted by MT. Naples, Mir. Irwin, the p istor, be- ing ignored in the matter. MT. Irwin stated that he was of the opinion that the beligerent atti- tude MT. Naples had assumed to- ward him in his lectures, rendered Mir. Adams really ashamed 10 ask any favors of him at all.

How to Cure Eczema, PimpleS, and

We desire to say that when we took
the agency for ZEMO, we were convinc-
ed that it was valuable remedy for
Eczemo, pimples, and dandruff, Yet
we must frankly admit that Zemo has
far exceeded our expectations as treat
ment for skin diseases. We are pleased
to state that we shall continue the
agency as ZEMO has given splendid
results wherever recommended. Our
customers like ZEMG too, because it is
a clean vegetable liquid for external
use.
ZEMO effects its cures by drawing to
the surface of the skin and destroying
the germ life that causes the disease,
leaving the skin clear and healthy. II

can be used freely on infants.
With every purchase we give booklet

VISIT THE MUSEUM
Now Open to Students and Friends
OF The College
COLLECTIONS TABULATE D
And VIII Be Rearranged In Line 0rder-NeW
Idea Meets With Approval.

The Hood Museum will be open
to the public on Tuesdays from
four to five o'clock and on Satur-
days from half past one to half past
three in the afternoon. Admission
to the Museum at other times may
be had by inquiring at the college
office.
The arrangement of the collec-
tons in the Museum is in very
many cases temporary, waiting
more case room and the time when
they may be permanently placed.
East of the central hall on the frs
floor is located the geological and
neurological collection. The north
case contains series of sedimen-
tary, metamorphic and igneous
rocks. The other cases contains
the common and many rare
minerals and ores.
West of the central hall on this
floor the Winchell collections Of
fossils and shells occupy the three
central cases, one case on the south
and all but one case on the west
side wall. The Winchell collection
represents very well the field of
lnvertebrate Palarontology. The
specimens arranged in the order Of
the Geological time scale. Some
of these specimens have just re-
Gently redescribed and refigured by
Geo. H.Girty, Palarontologist in the
! u. S. Geological Survey. The
groups of shells and corals on the
south side of this room is represen-
tive of modern types. Other col
lections are temporarily stored in
cases on the floor.
The Geological collections are on
the second floor. The collection of
birds occupies temporary cases on
west side and the Mammals on the
east. As soon as suitable perman-
ent cases are obtained the bird
collection is to be thoroughly gone
over and rearranged with a view to
present not only synoptic series
to illustrate the classification OF
birds but also to place groups
Illustrating the natural history of
birds, including habitats, habits,
and bird migration, such as per-
manent residents, spring migrants,
| fall migrants, and summer and
winter visitants. There is also on
this floor temporarily the w. S.
Cooper collection of butterflies and
moths. This collection contains
many of the we'll known native as
well as foreign species of the
Sepidoptera.
The group of the North Virginia
deer and the Albino or white deer
are particularly valuable exhibits.
AS many Of the specimens on this
floor are not protected by cases
visitors are requested not to handle
or touch the specimens.
1t is the intention of the college
to give the students and the public
the benefit of the museum to the
fullest possible extent. Many adj
aitional specimens are needed to
complete the collections already
begun and the friends of the
college and museum who have
the opportunity to add to any of
the collections can do lasting
educational work by donating or
loaning specimens, and contribut-
ing other means for increasing the
efficiency of the museum. Many
institutions send summer expedi
tons into the field for the express
purpose of adding to and complet-
ing their collections. This is done
because the true educational value
of good museum is coming to
be more and more recognized in
