covERNMENT VIII HELP.
Give State Aid in Suppfsssing Hog
&ks tres Cholera, ssiae;sgs~ t

Jackson. - Of the money appropri-
Ated for eradication OF cattle tick and
other diseases and enemies of live stock,
$4,000 Yves set aside by the sanitary live
ttock commission to control or suppress
hog cholera daring the years 1901.
After that work was started. about
the middle of last year, over 100000 cubic
dentimeters OF serum for the inochlation
of hogs were made and distributed. This
fell far short of the needs of this state,
as renewed interest has been given to
the care and raising of hogs.
The United States bureau of animal
industry has agreed to aid and cooperate
with the state in this work, which will
make it far more effective and more ex,
tansive than heretofore, and a larger
amount of serum will be made, though
the capacity will still be short, of all
needs.
The aim will be to make the distribu.
ton, equitable. There is no charge for
the. serum, nor for the services of one
man when he goes ont on the work, but
the travelling expenses of a man must be
paid by those personally interested in
the work. fE-4 {TTN@

IS THERE AN ICE rRusra
Suspicion Is That a Conspiracy Has Been
- Formed.


Observation-Disclosures or not a conspir.
acy has been formed by the four ice fac
tories in Jackson to control the price of
that commodity so essential to the sum-
mer season, will be made the subject of
investigation at the forthcoming meet
ing of the Kinds county grand jury.
Numerous complaints are being made
by consumers of the big advance in
price, as compared with last year, and
it is being freely alleged that a secret
agreement fixing prices has been entered
into.
At the beginning Of the year 1910
there were only two ice factories in
Jackson, both charging the same prices.
Two new factories were built as auxil-
iaries Of. other manufacturing enter
prises, and a price-slashing period fol-
lowed, forcing the commodity down a.
low as twenty cents per hundred at re.
tail, and, for a period Of several weeks,
ice could be purchased in carload lots
as low as 12A cents per 100. ~
Today ice, whcns purchased in guam
titles less than 100 pounds, and very
few consumers purchase as much as 100
pounds in II day, costs 40 cents per
hundred. In 100-opund quantities it
can be bought at 80 cents per 400.
The quotation for carload lots, or on
contracts amounting to as much as one
ton per day, is twenty cents per 100,
or a per ton. % 80 SO q

Jacksonville cnterprising city of
Gulfport, which has the habit of going
after everything in sight and generally
gets a good portion of what it goes
after, wants the next convention of the
Mississippi Medical association.
The Gulfport Commercial Union will
send a delegation to Jackson next week
to extend al invitation to the medicos
to hold their 1919 convention at the
gulf coast metropolis, and energetic per
sonal work will be undertaken among
the members. 4
Gulfport also wants the 1912 convert

have . delegation here or May 8 for that
purpose. ~ ,
Incidentally eGulfport is also after the
meeting of the Mississippi Land Devel-

the latter part of June. In fact, when
there is anything in sight, GulIport al

current year that community will have
more conventions than any city. il the

hog raising that should appeal to
every thoughtful farmer. No other
meat-producing animal is capable Of
producing so many young In a year..
In our mild climate, where suitable
pastures a be provided for nearly
every month in the year. the 10
could farrow twice annually, producing
one litter in early spring which can
easily be made ready for the late
fall or early winter market, and an
other litter in early fall to be made
ready for the spring market. The
small amount Of capital required to
begin with and the quick returns on
the Investment should make hog rails
ing especially attractive to the small
farmer with limited means. The hog
will make a pound of gain on less food
than most live stock. and will profit
ably utilize the waste products around
the farm, dairy and kitchen.
At present there is a strong demand
at very attractive prices for what is
known as the light market hog, weigh
ing from 1870 to $50 pounds. A hog OF
this weight can easily be produced
with ordinary care at from four to six
months old. p

No man should attempt to raise
hogs without adequate pastures. For
pastures. woven wire il the best fenc-
Ing material, all things considered.
Around the field to be used for pas
ture run a woven wire fence 80 inches
high with three strands Of barbed
wire above. This fence will not only
turn hogs, but other live stock.
For convenience in preparing the
land and planting the crops, It is best
not to divide the pasture up with
permanent fences. When the crops
are ready for the hogs, by using the
hurdle or portable fence, the field may
be divided into lots Of any size. The
hurdle fence is simple and cheaply
made, and when not in use can be
taken down and stored under a shed
until needed again.
There is a mistaken idea held by
some that alfalfa, red clover, rape
and similar crops will produce profit
able gains when pastured without
grain. The practical trials made at
many experiment stations prove this
not true. OF the many forage plants
alfalfa Is n of the most satisfactory
for hogs, since it can be made a per

At the Mississippi station careful
tests have been made to determine the
value OF alfalfa pasture without grain
for hogs. Pigs ranging In age from
three to t%wenty-four months have been
used, and the results of two years
work show that alfalfa is little more
than a maintenance ration for growing
hogs without grain. Satisfactory gains
have always been secured from alfalfa
pastures by supplementing the pas.
ture with from n to two per cent.
Of the weight Of the hogs in corn or
other grain.
Cow peas without grain so far has
given better results than any other
crop for hog pasture. In one test the
crop was grown in thin hill land.

peas produced 483 pounds of pork.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike

coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.

ONLY HOPE is TO DIVERSITY
Exclusive Culture Of Cotton Has Elk.
hausted the Humus sLife-Giving
ies Principle In Soils.
(By @. H. ALFORD.)


There Is one hope and only one
hope for the farmers of the south and
that is diversiication. The too ex-
elusive culture of cotton has exhaust
ed the humus, the life-giving principle
in our soils. the washing of the clean
cotton fields have gone on to such an
extent that millions Of acres of the
best land in the south have been
ruined. The too exclusive culture of
cotton has caused over-production and
thereby forced the price far below an
equitable one so that there has been
but little more than a bare living for
the cotton farmers. The too exclusive
culture of cotton has established the
credit system. AS long as our farm
ers raised their supplies at home there
was no necessity for the credit sys-
TEN. The too exclusive culture of
cotton forces us to buy on credit and
dump all of our cotton on the market
In the fall in order to satisfy our cred
itors and thereby force the price
down. The too exclusive culture Of
cotton makes 1t necessary to send the
money obtained for cotton north and
west to pay for corn, oats. hay, bacon.
lard, mules, horses, butter. cheese and
other farm products.
l realize that many agricultural
writers and speakers are now busy
shaking the foundation of our pres
ent evil-the one crop system. How
ever, their work is to a large extent
destructive, not constructive. They
seldom suggest a practicable method
to take the place of our badly bal
anced. lopsided farming that compels
q farmer to wear out about fifteen
acres at a time. 1t is not enough to
expose the many evils Of the n crop
system. We must show on general
lines what system to establish as a
substitute, and on general lines, how
the average cotton farmer a do SO.
The simple plan that I shall now
suggest may be followed by every
cotton farmer, however poor he may
