KEEP OUT OF DEBT.

The curse of farming in the South is debt; debt brought about by credit while growing a crop. Arkansas farmers must set out of this habit, They are nearer this possibllit! now
 thar ever before. II is aesudty wrong for q farmer to have to ask credit fer food for his family or feed for his team. A farmer may well go into debt for SOW or d COW or a mare or even for d good plow Or DOS sibly for fertilizer but never for food feed, except tr coffee and sugar and such things, and for, flour if he does nct grow wheat. Arkansas farmers have just got to get out of debt an1 keen out of debt for the living.

 This is the opinion of H. A. Sand house, assistant animal husbandman of the college of agriculture of the University of Arkansas, who says that one should look over his sows care fully and note in particular thsir weakest points, especially the quality Of bones, shape of body and early ma turing qualities. Then, he says, by mating the sows to boar that shows good points where the sows are weak tho offspring should show decided improvement over their parents especially if the sire is very prepo- tent.
 "The had of the boar should be
 bread" said MT. Sandhcuse, "and short with full jowl free from flab Ibiness. which is an indication of a |. good feeder. Tha car should not bt
 heavy and coarse, as the coarse ears is generally associated with coars'
 bones. The body should be broad
 blocky and compact, the back arched
 rather than sunken, and the trump
 should nc be too slcping. The width | across I,he shoulders and hips should
 be the same in the young boar. but | the shoulders of the old boar become l wider with age. due to tho dsvelop-
 ment of the heavy shield.
 "A shcrt legged and short necked
 hog is generally the one that fAttens
 more readily than '.he rangy type Especial emphasis should be laid cn
 the quality of the feet and strength of
 pasterns, for the boar that tends to walk on his dew claws when he IS Young, will be unable to support his weight wh:n he grows older."

WOULDN'T STAY DEAD.

R. F. Herbert, a contractor of Little Rock, may be good builder but he's a bum actor, saccording to his own allegations in suit filed Wednes- day to restrain the showing of films depicting the last days and execution Of David Q. Ioodd, Arkansas, boy martyr of the Confederacy, :, Mr. Herbert was one of the soldiers to take part in the sham battla. and was ,"killed''. during the fake fight. 'Asathe ,Attle, Rock Gazetts tells Iit' He died like n true hero and, lay stretched yu full length on the green swariHa So far, So vgood!' Mr Aerbert had proved N hlimsalf as good al actor las any, but the stage manager wasn't satisfied He wanted more realism. i He, got it. but. not in the way expect ed. To again quote, tho Gagette: t' n. .
 "To add to the realism of the scene
 paper bombs were exploded. An oyerzs alous assistant, who was en thusiastically hurling these bombs
 tpssctldone directly at the spot where
 MT. Herbert was gasping his last. Tn:
 bomb exploded with a bang directl,
 under the neither portion of MT Herbert's anatomy.
 '"Ths dead suddenly came to lif'
 and for the next minute was kep very busy extinguishing the fire tha
 consumed a most important section 0 his trousers. It was a most embar
 rassing situation for MT. Herbert, bu
 a samariMnScan,e, te his rescue ant gave him his coat Drap1ng thi
 about his lower limbs, MT. Herber painfully ana sadly wended his wa, home.
 AMr. Herbert5 witnessed the recen trial run of ths pictures. His resur rection on. tho field Nf battle wa shown in all its vivid and painful de
 tails. MT. Herbert didn't enjoy it. H.
 has no idea that he will enjoy th' Qsups' and jibes which he is certa.,
 his friends will fling at him whel
 they see the pictures. Hence the in
 junction suit"
 Although we must admit Mir. Her

 even the high-priced ones-could sta.
