War Advances Drua Prices.

From day to day, new effects of the European war are being felt in places even so remote as Arkansas. The latest is the threatened exhaustion of the supply of thymol, the drug which forms the basis of the treatment for hookworm. This is likely to affect se- riously the work of the Rockefeller Commission, which has been engaged in the hookworm campaign in the state for the last three years. Before the war it could be bought for $250 per pound, but it is now quoted at ST. Practically the worlds supply comes from Germany. which is now cut of. One pound treats 100 persons Other drugs have been used, but none is so efficacious as thymol Dr. Garrison is attending a conference in Memphis to decide what can be done.

A compromise was reached with the Rock Island, by which it was agreed that the railroad should pay S100,00o in full settle ment of the freight clalin3, and s30,- 900 in interchangeable mileage in settlement of the passenger claims.

CHAPTER X.
The Turn of the Tide.

From time immemorial the history of the popular hero has ever been the same. To king and patriot, to the favorite girl at school and the small boy who Is leader of the gang" to politician. to preacher, to actor and author, comes first worship then eclipse. The great Napoleon did not escape this common fate; and the pub lie idol who was kissed only yesterday for his gallant deeds Is scorned today for having permitted the kissing. Oh, caprice of the human heart! Oh, cry of the race for the unaccustomedl
 From that first anniversary of his his popularity decrease-in fact more than decrease. He saw the weather vane go square about, and where he had known for three hundred and sixty-fve days the gentle balmy feel of the southwest zephyr, he found him. self standing of sudden in cold. bleak northeast wind. The change be- wildered the old man, and reacted on his disposition. As he had blossomed in the sunshine, so now he began to droop in the shade. Feeling that he was suspected and criticized, he began to grow suspicious and fault-fnding himself His old notion that he had no right to take a woman's place in the institution came back to his brain, and he would brood over it for hours at time, sitting out on the porch with his pipe and Angy.
 The old wife grieved to think that father was growing old and beginning to show his years. She made him some tansy tea, but neither her persuasions nor those of the whole household could induce him to take it. He had never liked "doctoring' anyway, although he had submitted to it more or less during the past year in unconscious subservi- ence to his desire to increase his popu- larity; but now he fancied that where once he had been served as a king by all these female attendants, he was simply being "pestered' as a punish ment for his past behavior with Blossy. An, with its surprising ending that had been a humiliating affair and he felt too that he would be long in for giving Mrs. Darby for not having con fided to him her actual intentions. Now he was afraid to be decently courteous to one of the sisters for fear that they might accuse him of light dalliance again. and he scarcely ever addressed the new member who came to take Blossys little room for he had been cut to the quick by her look of astonishment when she was told that he belonged there.
 In his mental ferment the old man began to nag at Angy. Sad though it is to confess of a hero honestly loved. Abraham had nagged a little all his married life when things went wrong. And Angeline, fretted and nervous, herself worried almost sick over fathers condition, was guilty once in while out of the depths of her anxi- ety of nagging back again So do we hurt those whom we love best as we would and could hurt no other.

The Royal Military academy, where off cers are trained for the British army. also is a part of the institution.

Peerages Lacking In Permanercs

British peerages have little of the permanence of pyramids. Forty years ago a careful calculation was made which showed that of PIT peerages created during the preceding 45 years only 133 remained upon the rolls. Of the Plantagenet peerages only 14 sur vived; of the Tudor, II; of the Stuart, 46. During the reign of George III more than 400 peers were created, Of which in 1875, 27o had disappeared.

B. Always keep plenty of clean.

at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks
7. Never keep female for a brood
SOW, no matter how well bred she
may be, if she will not produce more
than four strong pigs at litter.
8. The more milk a SOW will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
9. Lice prevent a hog from doing

10. Always keep a mixture of char
coal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur, salt,
and copperas before the hogs.
These points are emphasized in a
bulletin just issued by the bureau Of
animal industry, entitled Boys Pig
Clubs" with special reference to their
organization in the south. 1t can be
had free by the young farmer by ap-
plication to the department. It con-
tains a number of illustrations, a de-
sign of portable hog house, which
can be built easily and cheaply, and a
design of feeding pen for small pigs.
In the pamphlet are some very i'm
portant "don'ts" which should aid the
Young farmer in preventing the dan
gerous disease Of hog cholera. Here
are the suggestions:
Do not have hog lots next to high
ways, railroads, or streams. If your
neighbours hogs have cholera do not
allow any one from his farm to visit
your farm, and especially your hog
lot or pens, and keep away from your
neighbours hog lot, whether his hogs
have cholera or not.
Do not keep pigeons or allow them
to alight on your premises.
Keep away crows and buzzards.
Quarantine all new hogs brought to
your place until you are sure they
are free Of disease.

Sheep are the peculiar prey Of para
site life. They have grown under the
eye and care Of man for SO many
thousands Of years that they have be-
come strkingly dependent on the
care he is able to give them.
The f1ockmaster who never dips
may have healthy sheep, but luck
must be with him in this case. It Is
an essential-one Of the kind of es-
sentials that must be looked after
once or twice yearly.
I never bring a new sheep home,
one imported from some other farm
or some other state, without running
him through the dipping vat, writes
}. M. Clarkson in the Orchard and
Farm. He may be clean and healthy.
If he is the dipping vat won't hurt
him, and If he is not-well the dip
ping will prevent lot of trouble.
You can never tell just what sort
of parasites and skin affections a
sheep is going to pick up in an ex-
press car or in the cars usually used
in transportation of live stock. Many
of the diseases that mean ruin to a
flock are picked up while members of
the flock are being shipped. This
should be borne in mind by all show
ers and exhibitors of fancy-bred

BREEDING GOOD HOGS
EFFORT BEING MADE TO INTER.
EST BOYS IN SWINE.
Pork Can Be Marketed in Many Forms
and Can Be Produced So as to
Sell Much Cheaper Than Beef
Ten Excellent Points.

The department of agriculture is
endeavoring to interest the younger
generation on southern farms in the
breeding of good hogs. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the department to encourage
the young men to raise at least enough
pork for home consumption and II
possible, a surplus for the market.
Pork can be marketed in many forms
fresh pork, hams, bacon and sau-
sage-and can be produced SO as to
sell much cheaper than beef. A short
age of beef means an increased de-
mand for pork, and it seems reason
able that there should be a ready de-
mand for all the available supply.
This means money in the pocket OF
the boy hog raiser.
Some of the points which the de-
partment advises the youthful hog
grower to bear in mind are the fol-
lowing:
i. The feeding and care are as i'm
portant as the breeding in producing
a good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make a good hog out of a
runt, but lack of it will always make
a runt out Of a good pig.
2. To make pork cheaply a perma
nent pasture and forage crops must
be used.
3. Young pigs must have dry bed
and plenty of sunshine.
4. Begin feeding the pig as soon

Apply Manure While Fresh.

There is no great secret connected
with the practical handling Of manure.
The great losses caused by the i'm
proper handling Of manure in this
country are the result of the violation
of plain natural laws. Most Of this
loss is easily preventable.
In handling manure under average
farm conditions, the main thing is to
haul it to the land as soon as posi-
BILE after it is made, to eliminate all
the loss possible, and then to spread
it thin so it will cover more land. II
the proper methods of farm manage
ment are used, it will be possible to
spread the manure on the fields for
most of the year.
