FARMERS SHOULD RAISE
 MEAT FOR OWN USE

Is443. j ssa
 IA contributor ioSthe scurrent Issue of Farm and Fireside says that every farmer ought to make his own meat. At present, he says, many are buy ing meat at from 35 to 50-per cent above the cost The time has re- turned, he claims, when it will not only pay every farmer to raise his own meat, but to cure it for family use and for sale besides. He goes on; sEa \ R
 "Five million dollars a year spent for meat that might have been raised on the farm, and the money kept at home is Kansas record. And it is mistake. It shows we are 'advanc- ing backward in some things. The good old butchering days of our fathers ought to return, and with them full knowledge how to cure the meat in various ways. so when the fresh has gone, We should have some of the finest, most ap- petite-satisfying meats on hand the year wound. Kansas has awakened, and the State agricultural college i. leading by putting in killing and curing plant, where al students may learn this useful art from start tu finish. What the grain-growins farmers of the West have done tn, milk-making owners of eastern farms have followed, and today there arc thousands of farmers families tha never seen & home cured ham or taste rasher of bacon or slice of salt pork that is not got from the meat-dealer. Having to spend none! for meat, many families lack suf- ficiency of this sinew-making food, and who may say that not a few failures to make good on the farm are due to lack of the meat which stimulates?"

Herbert Concert Superb.

That his professional pride was a bit piqued was the opinion formed by several at the concert at the Elks Theater yesterday afternoon, when Victor Herbert, the noted composer land director, and his orchestra, made their appearance for the first time in Pine Bluff, before a small crowd os music lovers. He came upon the stage with a smile which quickly dis ence over. The balcony was well filled but the lower floor had many empty seats.
 Twice the eminent composer raised his baton to begin the opening oVer- ture and twice he lowered it, look ing around with vexed expression 70 see from whence came laugh and the second time at a noise probably caused by one of the ushers going down an isle to seat late conner. And through the concert he treated the audience as grown man would humor child, smiling benignly when a number was applauded.
 l He was very generous, however, his professionalism not permitting him to be otherwise, and for every number on the program there was an en- core. The most enjoyable numbers were the prelude to "Wagner's
 Lohengrin, by the orchestra, the violin solo by Fred l.. Landau, and the tenor solos by John Finnegan. MT. Finnegan has the sweetest tenor voice that has been heard by Pine Bluffians In many years, and he was forced to sing three numbers. The selection from Scenes Alsaciennes," by Mas senet, with solo work by Joseph Her ner. violincello, and H. A. Chiaffarel- Ii, clarionet, was very much appre- ciated. The overture to the comic opera 'The Enchantress." Herbert's own composition. is characteristic of his music, and he took as much de- light in directing it as the audience did in hearing it.
 Perhaps the weather did keep few of the music lovers at home but there should have been much larg- CT crowd. Victor Herbert's orchestra is conceded to be one of the best if not the best in the United States and his appearance in the larger cities is always greeted by an enthusiastic throng. H>sst sssiD

COMPANY EXONERATED ON
 WOOD ALCOHOL CHARGE

It's brands. It is a mystery how the wood alcohol managed to eke into the liquors, the best opinion being that it's presence was due to a stain in the barrels into which the liquors were poured.
 The Original Report
 The report of the state chemist, as made to the pure food department of the state, follows, each of the samples being con sidered
 Sample 4SM-' Dixon Club Straight Maryland Rye whisky labeled on barrel, Blended whisky was found to contain 43.56 per cent of alcohol by volume. equal !o S7.O2 proof. Tannin and fusil oil were found to be present. Wood alcohol was also found to be present"
 Sample 44M-Apple brandy. labeled on barrel Brandy Compound Tannin was found to be present The sample was found to contain wood alcohol (methyl alcohoD."
 Sample 45M-Gin; tamil. fusil oil and wood alcohol were found to be present."
 Sample 46M-Four Oaks Corn whisky; 'annin, fusil oil and wood alcohol were found to be present."
 The above report was made in June. August 10 MT. Ross reported that dupli- cate samples of the above mentioned brands, not necessarily from the same barrels. were tested and found to contain no wood or methyl alcohol.
 Cause of ExOneration
 Chemist Ross determined 10 make a Quantitative test of the four brands, and for that purpose visited Washington. He has reported as follows to the pure food departments
 Department chemists expressed the opinion concerning the four sampes) that where there was quite small amount Of wood alcohol (say 1 per cent or less) that no accurate quantitauve estimate by re- fractometer of the wood alcohol could be made, but on comparing the relative in- tensity of color from the tests with very dilute solutions of wood alcohol of known strength, we are of the opinion that tho amount of wood alcohol does not exceed one-half of 1 per cent in any of the sam ples, and the percentage may be less"
 The chemist writes, however, that he .s now more certain than before that the samples did contain traces of wood alco- hol
