With the Sow and Pigs

In many instances, more es-
pecially If the sows are old, IL
will be best to take the pigs as
soon as they come and remove
their tusks, on both lower and
upper Jaws. These tusks are
often very sharp and painful
! to the SOW and will cause her
to jump up quickly when they
are sucking. 1t is also the
cause of sore mouths caused by
the pigs fighting for their place
at the dinner table. Experience
has shown that the pigs from
aged sows are more liable to
have sharp tusks than those
from younger sows.
Pigs must have a thrifty
start in life If they make good
money for their owner. 1t re-
quires a large amount of food
to overcome the unthrifty habit
in a bunch of pigs and every
day they are not gaining they
are losing their owner food,
care and money.

The need of virile mothers for a strong

Miss Beatrice Forbes Robertson, the dis

litical activities of men, then the children
of segregated mothers would be healthier
THAN free women. But the contrary is
the truth. Segregation and idleness have
so weakened woman that she Is with one
exception the only animal in nature that

For Better Farminu"

The North Dakota Agricultur-
al college conducted a very eff
fective campaign early this
summer by sending out a Bet
ter Farming" special train con-
sisting Of a number of cars
equipped with every modern ap-
pliance that will assist farmers.
Demonstrations of stalls, for
horses and cows; pens for
sheep and hogs houses for
poultry and and all farm stock,
were made, the various kinds
of stock being present in the
cars to make the demonstration
complete.
The train stopped at many
stations and the attendance
varied from 300 to 1900 at each
place. Many of the towns made
a regular gala day, decorating
the town and meeting the train
with a brass band. Many agri-
cultural editors were guests on
the train and they report their
surprise at the large number of
automobiles used by the farm
ers. AT some places 1t seemed
that every farmer had brought
his family to the meeting In an
automobile. The trip of the
special was vastly successful.
Save the grass clippings
from the lawn to serve as a
mulch for the bed OF tea

Jackson Gov. Noel has made ar
rangements whereby, shortly after the
beginning of the coming year, Charles
J. Moore, accountanr, whose work In
the auditing and checking up of pub
lie officials and public institutions in
Mississippi is matter of record, will
take up the work again, and win check
each department UP for the past fiscal
year.. Accountant Moore has been en-
gagged in going over the records Of the
state collegiate institutions under the
direction of the omnibus board of trus-
tees, and has nearly completed his
task, being now engaged in working
out the figures pertaining to the bust
ness and transactions at the Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege. One of the most important rea-
sons for this work, which is, of course,
not done gratuitously, and therefore
comes somewhat high, as all expert
work of the kind does, is to get the
state on uniform system of account
ing, and Gov. Noel hopes for good re-
suits to follow. There is not a depart
ment of the state government that has
not some accounting to do, in greater
or less degree, and Accountant Moore
will be given access to all records.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS

tees Of the four educational institu-
tons in Mississippi win take no ac-
ton toward establishing the two new
agricultural experiment stations until
just prior to the legislative session of
1912.
During the legislative session in
March the legislature passed bills au-
thorizing new experiment stations to
be established in the northeastern and
southwestern sections of the state, the
various counties to offer donations and
lands therefor. However, the law
makers neglected to make an appro-
priation to carry out the provisions Of
the two measures, land it will be i'm
possible for the general college board
to put the stations in operation with
the sum necessary to clear land, erect
buildings and make other needed Inn
provements.
Several counties have already ex-
pressed willingness to donate the nee
essary lands, and, had it not been for
the negligence of the lawmakers, the
stations could have been in operation
early next year.

FEARruL TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Governor Asked to Extend cIemency
to Whit Owens.

Jackson.-One of the darkest TRACE,
dies in the annals OF North Missis-
sippi was revived in the public mind
by the petition for the pardon Of Whit
Owens, which was presented to Gov.
Noel, numerously signed, and by the
fact that young man named Mont
gomery, resident of Sardis, Pamela
county, is here opposing the granting
of clemency. Mr.. Montgomery is a
son of one of Owens alleged victims.
The facts we're that Whit Owens
was indicted jointly in 1910 in the cir
cult court of Lafayette county, with
Orlandus Lester, William Mathis and
William Jackson, Lester and Jackson
being negroes, for the murder of John
A. Montgomery and Hugh Montgom-
cry, his son.
The two Montgomerys were depu-
ties of the United States court, and
on the day of their death were given a
warrant for the arrest of William Mat
this, based upon an indictment OF the
United States court at Oxford, on the
charge Of unlawfully distlling whiskey
or "moonshining." They arrived at
the residence of Mathis, in a remote
section OF Lafayette county, late in
the evening, and found him engaged in
some domestic duties which it was in
convenient for him to leave. He beg
ged earnestly to be allowed to finish it
and would go to Oxford as prisoner
the next morning. The Montgomerys
kindly consented.
Orlandus Lester, negro, was en-
ployed by Mathis, and was working
with him ON the affair. the suspension
of which for the accommodation of
Mathis the officers did not insist.
On the trial of the case 1t appeared
from the testimony that after the Of
fcers had retired for the night, Mat
this, Jackson and Lester went into
the room, found them asleep in bed
and killed them with guns, after which |
Mathis moved their bodies to point
near the center of the building and set
fire to the house, burning it down overt
the bodies of the victims, believing |
that thereby he could destroy all evil
dence of guilt.
1t was shown by evidence that Whit |
Owens, for whom pardon is sought,
was the father-in-law of Mathis. and !
resided a mile and half or two miles |
