TICKS FROM TALL TIMERS
How to Get in Tick Free District
 This Year.

If you want your county to be in the tick eradication district and rid your county of the Texas fever tick and save thousands of dollars of loss an- nually, then hustle out with petitions to local representatives of the Arkan- sas Legislature which convenes next week, urging that yodf county be placed in the tick eradication district.
 There are now two eradication dis tricts in Arkansas, the Northeast Tick Eradication District, under the control of commission, and the Northwest District, in charge Of a board of con. trol, and under. the direction of the head of the Veterinary Science Depart ment of the State College of Agricul- ture at Fayetteville.
 The work has been carried on in these districts by counties who levy an annual tax of five cents on all cat tie of dairy and beef class in those counties.
 In any part of the state outside the tick eradication districts 1t would be practical for several counties in a group to join forces and form a local district. These counties could come in under the present laws and regula- tions provided they are placed legally and the tax of five cents is levied on all neat cattle within your borders.

CHOLERA |s AN EA|GMA
 HOG'S DEATH 4 MYSTERY
f Swine Die and You Are in Doubt, See veterinarian--A Post Mortem Will Tell You Don't Take a Chance. v

Many hogs die Of hog cholera ana the cause remains mystery. When hog dies and the owner has any doubt as to the cause of it's death he should consult a veterinarian, one Of the demonstration agents or the state veterinarian at Fayetteville, and have the hog examined In this way tho spread of the disease can be stopped. The owner of hog should have at least primary knowledge in diagnos- ing case of cholera. :, y,
 The best way of making a diagnosis of hog cholera is to kill hog about to die or to take one that has recent ly died and open it with knife If cholera is the trouble the spleen or melt is enlarged Remove the kidney with sharp knife and then take off the thin membrane. Small spots about the size of a pin head, purplish to red dish in color will be found. Small spots that look like sprinkles of blood are often noticed.
 The most characteristic lesions are found in the blind pouch ofT.the largo

|. 5. TEACHING CARE OF INFANTS
Government Bureau Issues Pamphlet by Mrs. Max
 West, Herself a Mother.

Washington, Jan. 30.--"Infant Care" is the eighth publication to be issued by the childrens bureau, and the sec ond of the Care of Children" series. Its aim is to bring before a mother such information as may help he: to economically and sanely rear her baby. so that 1t may grow into a healthy, normal child.
 The author is Mrs. Max West. her self a mother, who wrote the first bull letin of the series Parental Care" She insists that every mother owes it to her baby to nurse it, and as to thi. she says: There are few mothers who cannot, if they have suitable care and advice"
 Weight, according to Mrs. West, Is the best indication of the baby s health in general way. She has pre- pared table showing what an aver age normal baby should weigh at the end of each month for the first year. This is merely approximate; oaby may go little above or fall little below and yet be healthy.
 "A young. inexperienced mother says Mrs. West, lis often at loss tG know whether a baby is properly tnIIVlu6 QI HUI. IL IIIdy Ue ucjpluI IO mention the leading characteristics of normal, healthy baby, and it may be assumed that the lack of these con- ditfons shows that, temporarily or otherwise, the baby is not in perfect health. A steady increase in weight; regular bowel movement, absence of vomiting or reorganization of food: good appetite; clear skin; bright, wide-open eyes; alert, springy mus- cles, which respond readily to any stimulus; a contented expression; very little crying; quiet, unbroken sleep, with eyes and mouth tightly closed; no evidence of pain or discom- fort; constant growth in stature and intelligence.

A HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN
Timely Suggestions For Planning Your Spring Vegetable Garden.

A farmer who intends to plant a vegetable garden this year should plan his garden during the idle days of winter. A piece of ground rectangular in shape and containing from one fourth to One-half acre is sufficient for the largest family.
 Plants that are to occupy the same ground for several years should be placed to one side of the garden so that they can receive the attention necessary and not interfere with other short season crops. The grape, rasp- berry, blackberry, gooseberry. straw berry, currant, asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish are of this, type, and can be planted at this time of year.
 If early crops of eggplant, pepper and tomatoes are desired they should beestarted in a hot bed about the first of February, then by the time it would be safe to SOW the seed in the open ground, we can have plants large enough to set out. Y
 Plants like cabbage, caulifiower and Brussels sprouts also are often started in this way. By successive plantings we can have an abundant supply ot sany vegetable from early summer till frost. The farmer should remember that rotation in garden is as i'm portant as it is in the regular farming because of insects and fungous dis eases. i% ,n :. =, .., J. s.

in damp or became damp, will not ger there will be many weak plants or missing hills in the field. There is all ways rush of work in the spring at planting time. Seed should be select ed before this rush begins.
 A man who is not pushed for time will do better work, so that seed that is selected early will be of better quality than that selected when the farmer feels that he ought to have his teams in the field. Select fifty ears for each acre that is to be planted. Some of it is likely to be spoiled or become damaged. At a second selection at planting time, some of the ears will be thrown out because they do not look as good as they did at first.
 Plans may be changed so that few more acres may be planted than was at first intended. After all if there Is a small surplus 1t may be sold to some neighbor who has neglected his seed, and who will be willing to pay a good price for it, or it may be fed and nothing lost. If you must buy seed get it early. The seed houses usually sell their best seed first and if there is a demand may sell very inferior seed at the end of the season. The failure of so many of our farmers to get superior quality. of seed early in the season is one big factor in caus- ing. the average yield of corn to be only twenty bushels per acre in Ar kansas.

CONSPIRACY BRINGS
 HEAVY PENALTIES
Two Who Violated Food and Drug Act Assessed $30OO and Lose
 Their Citizenship
Advertisement.

Washington, Jan. 3G.-Conspiracy on the part of two or more people to violate the food and drug act and other federal statutes has recently brought heavy fines, coupled with loss of citizenship, to certain dealers. In "a certain case, the department has lately co-operated with another Fed eral department in bringing "a crim- inal action in helping to secure the conviction of prominent coffee mer- chant and a shipping agent for con spiracy to violate the food and drug act involving the shipment of coffee in interstate commerce from New York to the west. In these cases the two defendants were each fined $3, 900 and by reason of their conviction of a felony lost their citizenship under the provisions of New York statute.
 In another action in cooperation with the custom service, the depart. ment was of assistance in the pro- ceedings that resulted in the imposi- tion of fine of $5,0O0 in the Massa- chusetts federal court on one defend. ant engaged in tampering with reve- nue import stamps and selling do. mestic liquors as imported. A sec ond defendant is now awaiting sen- tence. In two other jurisdictions, the department assisted in procuring the indictment for conspiracy to violate the food and drug act fo number Of egg handlers who have been i1leg- ally shipping spoiled eggs in inter- xA- e.
 In a number of other cases, espe- cially concerning drug matters and the prevention of the sale of worth less so-called curative devices, the department has co-operated with the postoffice authorities in bringing ec- tions and securing convictions flor violations of the postal laws involv- ing misuse of the mails.

months and should be entirely closed at two years. It laughs aloud from the third to the fifth month, and reaches for toys and holds them from the fifth to the seventh month. At seven or eight months it is unusally able to sit erect and hold the spine up- right. During the ninth and tenth months it makes the first effort to bear the weight of the body on the feet, and can usually stand without assistance at eleven or twelve months It begins to walk alone in the twelfth month. At one year usually a few words can be spoken, and at the end of the second short sentences. Chi'- dren differ in the rapidity of their de- velopment, some being slower and some being faster; therefore mothers should not be unduly alarmed at vari- ations."
 Most of the naughtiness of infancy can be traced to physical causes. It must not be forgotten that the period of infancy is the period of education often of greater consequence than any othe rtwo years of life. The first ner- vous impulse which passes through tIIC udOy . cyCo, Cdi ilh6Oio VI iho"'h to the tender brain makes a pathway for itself. The next time another im- pulse travels over the same path it deepens the impression of the first. It is because the brain is so sensi tive to these impressions of child hood that we remember throughout life things that have happened in our early years while nearer events are entirely forgotten.

Reliable data shows that more. than $3,00O,00 is the annual loss to field crops, in Arkansas by insects and dis eases which can be largely controlled by crop rotation. These troubles gain foothold very slowly Each year the crop remnants of the year before car ry over some of the insects and dis. eases that formerly infested the grow ing crop. and as consequence each year sees a, little larger supply of dis ease son hand than was noticeable the year before. These troubles can be avoided by planting a different crop on the soil for two. years. In this way insects and diseases can be eliminated. New insects that appear can be exterminated in the same way,

Cut oft the small intestine where it enters the large one and then cut off the large ane just beyond the opening and split the blind pouch open. Wash the lntes- tine by dipping in water. On the in- side are ulcers with dirty, yellow ish hue. These ulcers range from the size of the rubber on lead pencil to the size of nickel and are raised above the lining membrane of the in- testine.
 These ulcers are not always found in acute cases. Lung lesions are of- ten found and resemble pneumonia symptoms, portions ol the lung becom- ing solid like the liver (normal lungs are spongy). 4

1875 SEED CORN MUST
 BE SELECTED AT. ONCE
Delay Until Time to Plant to Secure Good Parent Stock Why Arkansas Average Yield Is 20 Bushels an Acre.

Do not wait until planting time to pick out or buy the seed corn. Begin to look for good seed ears now and keep them in a dry place and protect ed from the grain moth so that they will grow. Many farmers depend on picking the seed corn out of the crib late in the season only to find that during the winter most of it hasNbeen fed, and that only a few bushels of nubbins remain from which to select the parent stock for the crop of next year.
 Corn that is allowed to stay in the crib all winter, especially if it was put
