THE TOWN PUMP.

A good place to feel the pulse of civic life is the at the public drinking trough. The ebb and flow of animal life, as it quenches it's thirst at the public fountain gives us an estimate of the wealth, population and prosperity of the community; the character, habits and occupation of it's peo- pie and the utility, pleasures and hardships of it's citizens. There is no better place to study the progress of the community than at the town pump.
 Every village in Arkansas should have a town pump and every city with water works should have a drinking fountain where a stream of pure running water freely dispenses Adam Ale to the thirsty populace. Pure water and plenty of it is a good community builder.

WILL SELECT A CLUB BOY.

Agent John R. Riser of Ran dolph county, advises that about twenty-five of his corn club boys are pupils of the Green Hill high school in his county. One of these boy was to be selected to attend the Tri-State Fair at Memphis and in order that each boy should have a chance to win the trip, Prof. E. L. Johnson, principal of the school and MT. Riser arranged a contest among the boys. Each boy on Friday of that week was to bring his ten best ears of corn to school. Judges were appointed and the boy having the best ten ears of corn was given the trip and five dollars extra as expense money. In addition to this the patrons of the Green Hill high school provided Prof. Johnson with forty dollars in cash to be dis tributed in prizes to the boys who competed for the trip. The corn exhibited in the contest was turned over to MT. Kizer, who took it to Memphis and entered it against the exhibit of Tenn essee and Mississippi boys. MT Kizer says this school contest has created more enthusiasm in the boys corn club work than any other thing ever done in that part of the county.

Perhaps it is not generally known that the government an nually employs a number of cats, and appropriates a yearly wage averaging about $18.50 for each cat. The cats are employed at all the commissary depots in the great cities to safeguard the government supplies. Each de- pot sends in an order for a cer- tain number of cats, and there is issued a stipulated amount of beef at not more than five cents a pound for each cat. The cats are supplied with canned milk to keep them in good health. The department found that a cat well fed on fresh meat and milk would hunt just as well for the sport of the chase and keer in better health than when com. pelled from sheer hunger to eat the rats and mice they caught The postoffice department keeps over 400 cats.

Increase Profits

O. w. OSBORN AssIsTAzT AcRo. N0MIST ARKANSAS EXPERIMENT
 STATION)

STATIoN)
 The food supply on the Ark ansas farm must be increased since cheap cotton and high cost of foodstuffs do not speak well for prosperity. Winter crops may not pay the quick returns realized as a rule by cotton, but the fact that they are growing when the soil otherwise would be idle means additional profit to the farmer.
 Compared with the winter oats, winter wheat is more resistant to adverse conditions during the cold winter months but as a rule is more subject to damage by rust on low land dnring damp weather of early summer. It is best to plant wheat upon land where air drainage is good. Early varities are best since they hast en their growth and are often ready to harvest before serious damage is done.
 Through most of the Ozark plateau fairly ideal conditions for growing winter wheat are to be found. Throughout this section seeding should be done during early October. In tests carried at the Arkansas Experiment Station at Fayetteville the fields sown with drill yielded three and a half bushels more to the acre than where seed was sown broadcast. Average of 3 year tests.) Seed should be sown at the rate of six pecks to the acre. Best results are obtained by blowing to depth of six or eight inches in the fall and working down with the disk and smooth ing borrow before seeding.
 Results of carried for seven years at the Arkansas Experi- ment Station have shown Red May and Alabama Bluestem to be leaders. These are early ma turing beardless varities which produce uniform grade of soft winter wheat.
 The Arkandelphia Milling Con- pany have the following report regarding the merit of Red May:
 Our experience is that Red May Wheat is the best for milling and we also think is the best for this climate. We buy all the Arkansas wheat we can, and have bought during this season something over 1, 900, 900 bushels. Flour made from Arkansas wheat makes a very flaky biscuit, and we consider it superior to any of the soft wheat states, and we draw our wheat supply from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas.
 Fulcaster and Fultz do we'll throughout the Ozark plateau and take high rank as milling wheats in those sections where grown. Northern varieties of wheat should not be grown because they are not adapted to our conditions and do not produce as uniform quality of grain.

Urges Fight
 On Hog Cholera
DIR. COW GIVES METHODS TO BE RECOMMENDED IN COMING
 FARM CAMPAIGN

So tremendous have been the losses in Arkansas from hog cholera that the people are arous- ed to the necessity of checking the ravages of this disease There are effective methods of preventing cholera from spread. ing in a community, and ways of saving a large part of the herd if cholera strikes it. In the profit able farming campaign to be carried on in Arkansas in Nov ember, stress will be laid on hog cholera, and the people urged to adopt effective methods of pre- vention.
 HoWIT SPREADS
 Hog cholera is carried by owners of diseased hogs visiting other farms; by owners of we'll hogs visiting farms on which there are diseased hogs; by the purchase of new stock; by dogs, cats, and other animals, and by pigeons, crows, buzz ards, and other birds; by pasturing we'll hogs close to sick ones; by infect ed streams; by hunters, careless hog buyers and visitors, and on the wheels of vehicles.
 METHODS OF PREVENTION
 The methods of preventing hog cholera from reaching a herd are based on common sense sanita- ton. The first thing to do is to clean up the hog pens. After cleaning up the pens, purify them with lime. Then keep them pure and clean, and providewood ashes and slacked lime, coke or coal for the hogs to eat.
 If your hogs have cholera, stay
The Green Forest tribune., 1914-10-30
1t home. If your neighbors

at home. If your neighbors' hogs have it, stay away. Keep the hogs from running to streams when cholera is in the neighbor- hood. Have dipping vat and use it regularly. Have a bath for the hogs, too. Hogs prefer the bath to the wallow. A plat- form bath tub six feet square and six inches deep is best, for it can be moved from place to place as needed. This bath will do away with the wallow. Hog cholera germs live from year to year in the wallow.
 KILL FIRST SICK HOG
 If a hog is sick and cholera is suspected, get him away from the well hogs at once; kill him and have a veterinarian examine him and determine definitely whether he has cholera. No time should be lost. If it is cholera, burn the remains. Then turn your attention to the rest of the herd. Send wire to your Agri- cultural College; or to some Gov inspected firm, asking for enough serum to vaccinate the hogs. Have this serum in- jected by a veterinarian don't try to do it yourself unless you are experienced at it.
 DOUBLE TREATMENT"
 Caution is urged in the use of the double treatment" serum and virus together. Serum-the single treatment" makes hogs immune from cholera for from 30 to 60 days, Virus is condens- ed hog cholera and when you inject virus you give the hog the cholera. The use of serum at the same time counteracts the effect of the virus and makes the hog permanently immune. This is the double treatment" and is used mostly for pure-bred breed

Vast Loss
 From Ticks.
DIR. WIGHT SAYS GREAT FARMING CAMPAIGN WILL AROUSE
 PEOPLE TO HELP.

The annual losses from the cattle tick in Arkansas are tre- mendous. There are about 590, 900 cattle in the tick area that are not being systematically handled to rid them of ticks. Of these about 5000 die each year from tick fever! In the sections where vats have been put in and operated under State and Government supervision the loss from tick fever has been almost nothing.
 A death rate of 75,000 cattle every year means a loss of nearly $2,000,000. The losses in market values on these 590,000 cattle average about $650,000 every 12 months. In this area there is a 20 per cent decrease in the milk flow because of the ticks, entail ing a loss of about $2, 900, 900 yearly. Totaling these losses, which are conservatively estimat- ed, the people of this state are nearly 95,000,000 poorer each year becaused of the ticks. But the greatest loss is from the danger of bringing in pure bred animals from above the quarantine line,
 But the people can get rid of the ticks in the next couple of years by concentrated efforts of the 75 counties in the state. Those that are now free of ticks are Benton, Carroll, Washington, Madison, Newton, Boone, Full ton, Randolph, Lawrence, Clay, Greene, Craighead, Mississippi, Poinsette, Crittenden, and parts of Marion, Baxter, Sharp, Jack son, Cross, St. Francis and Lee. In all the free area is nearly 13,- GOO, square miles, or about one fourth the state.
 In the territory where we are now working there are about 180 vats in operation under super vision. At these vats about 45,- 900 cattle are dipped every month. In the tick infested area many vats have been built by individuals, and these are a great help.
 The people in all the tick counties should urge the legis- lature to include these counties in either the northwestern or northeastern districts, the legis- lature having divided the state into two districts for the fight on the tick. They should also urge their representative to in- crease the present tax of 5 cents a head on cattle that is levied in counties now in the district. This tax is very small, and if it is increased for the new counties coming into the districts, the work will go on very much fast est.
 The Profitable Farming Cam paign through the state in Nov ember is a wonderful opportunity to popularize the fight against the tick. When all of the people once realize what a tremendous drain the tick is on their wealth they will give active support to tha fiUht
