HON. JOHN T. WATKINS.

In this issue of the Banner will be found
the announcement of Hon. j. T. Watkins
for reelection as Member of Congress
from the Fourth Congressional District.
Wherever Judge Watkins has appeared in
public life his born leadership has been
felt and acknowledged. He is big-brain-
ed mana man of power in head and
heart. He is a learned lawyer, studious,
diligent and successful. Because of the
ability and fidelity he has displayed in
every position he has been called upon to
fill, he, therefore enjoys such measure of
public confidence as enables him to direct
to considerable extent public thought and
opinion in the control of public affairs.
His appreciation of his fellow citizens is
reciprocated on their part by the attach
ment which has made possible successful
and continuous official career uninterrupt-
ed by defeat.

THREE REASONS
Why Judge r. c. Drew Should Be Re-
elected to the Court of Appeals.

1. He is only serving short
unexpired term, having been APP
pointed to the position during
February, 1911.
2. During the time he has been
on the Court Of Appeals every de-
cision of his reviewed by the
Supreme Court has been affirmed,
which goes to show that he has
made good, and a further evidence
of the fact that he has made good
as member of this important
Court is that he was re-appointed
by Gov. Hall without any solicita-
ton whatever from Judge Drew.
3. Any officer having made
good for short unexpired term is
at least entitled to one full term.

We take the following paragraph, which
we heartily endorse, from an editorial in
the Shreveport Journal of Monday:
SIN the reorganization of the school
work in this State the Hall administration
is carrying out one of its most important
pledges, and the people of Louisiana need
have no fear about the schools suffering as
a result Of the changes that are being
made. The school affairs are in the hands
of friends-these affairs are to be taken
out of the hands of politicians entirely, as
they should be, and as Gov. Hall promised
they would be.''

Maturity Of Hogs.

From market standpoint q mature
hog is one that has either temporarily
or permanently ceased growing, and
taken on the form and finish required
by the meat trade. The time at which
pig comes to maturity may be de.
termined very largely by the char
acter Of the feed and the manner of
feeding Pigs have been brought to
maturity at will anywhere between
the ages OF six and nine months.
Early maturity Is brought about by
feeding an excess of non-nitrogenous
feeds. or by sudden changes from
heterogeneous to non-nitrogenous feeds.
BY feeding an excess Of such fat
forming feed as cornmeal. the pigs do
not have sufficient amount of pro-
tein nutriments to continue their
growth. and SO begin to lay on fat.

IRRIGATION NEW IN SPAIN
Government Starts Work on Plans
Calling for Expenditure Of $s,f56,.
0o0-Ten Branches to Canal.

During the four months from June
to September practically no rain falls
In the province Of Andalusia. Spain.
AS result large area of fertile soil
which should be highly productive is
almost idle, the frequency of droughts
and the small annual rainfall discour-
aging agriculture.
To remedy this condition the gov
ernment has started work on irriga-
tion plans calling for the expenditure
of sS.156,000. Work has already
been begun ON long irrigation canal
which will ultimately have ten
branches, the aggregate length Of the
main artery and branches being 153
miles. The main canal will have a
length of 53 miles and will be COM
pleted In six years.
The project has been brought to
the attention OF American firms inter-
ested in this work, with the idea that
they may secure concessions on con-
ditions similar to those under which
irrigation has been provided for arid

suggested that responsible syndicate

tfon of electric power plants for In

ALFALFA AND ER0oD MARES
Hay Has Great Field OF Usefulness In
Feeding All Classes Of Live
Stock-Grain Needed.

Alfalfa hay has very great field OF
usefulness In feeding all classes OF
live stock under western conditions.
1t cannot be safely fed to brood mares.
however, in unlimited quantities.
From some sections of the irrigat.
ed belt have come reports OF large
percentage of colts born dead or weak
and deformed. In some cases an over
used and defective stallion is undoubt-
edly responsible. In many cases. how
ever, when colts are lost In the man
ner before mentioned, the farmers are
feeding alfalfa hay and alfalfa alone
to their mares. 1t should not be so
fed. For best results with the brood
mare some grain should be fed In ad-
dition to the hay. In case 1t Is desir-
ed to feed large amount of hay as
compared with the grain, the hay ra-
ton will be improved and made safer
by combining wild hay, timothy, or
even oat or wheat straw with the al
falfa. In no event should brood
mare weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds
be fed more than is or 16 pounds of
alfalfa daily
A sole ration of alfalfa hay contains
much larger proportion Of nitrogen
than the in-foal mare needs or can
use. The surplus must be eliminated
as waste and this condition lays an
extra burden on the digestive tract
and on the organs of elimination.
Especially heayEis the labor placed
on the Kidneys
There are probably many cases
where large quantities Of alfalfa hav.
been fed to brood mares without ap-
parent injurious effects. There Is un-
questionable danger of abortion and
weak and defective colts from such
practice. The farmer and horse
breeder will be wise to play safe and
substitute grain or other hays in place
of a portion of the alfalfa.

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble You are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect It,
and II pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale a color.
Passades too frequent, proflse, or much
reduced. or scaldine and painful
sandy, GRITTY or cloudy settlinds.
Fat or Oily-lookina layer which gathers
on the surface when allowed to stand.
or telly-like thickenind.
STAINING Of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things. eaten, but If the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away
