AMERICA GETS GOLD

England is now shipping gold to
the United States. Only a few months
ago England sent two representa-
tives of her treasury department
both OF whom are noted authorities
to this country to induce bankers Oh
the United States to arrange to pay
American obligations in England by
shipping gold from New York and
other financial centers. For time
a gold pool of $1OO,O0O.OOO for this
purpose was under formation. At
about the same time plans were be-
gun to collect q cotton loan fund OF
$4,000, 900 to assist the south
When this fund was completed the
south found it didn't need 1t. Soon
after England attempted to arrange
to induce shipments OF gold from
this country to her bankS she found
a reverse movement developing
This is NO time for fOrecasting the
future. financial or otherwise.

C0TT0NSEED MEAL
 GOOD FOR HORSES
Satisfactory Results Secured by Feeding at Rate of One Pound
 Per Head Daily.

In answer to the inquiry, "ls cotton seed meal good feed for horses?" Pro- lessor Foster of the New Mexico ex- pertinent station states that it is, when fed in small quantities in combination with other concentrates. A number of southern experiment stations and horse owners report satisfactory re- suits from feeding it to mares, colts, and driving horses at the rate of one pound per head daily, mixed with ground corn or other grain; and to work horses at the rate of two pounds per head daily, fed in the same man. ner.
 The Iowa station found that when fed in connection with corn and oats, Il pound of cottonseed meal was equal to IA pound of linseed oil meal in maintaining the weight of the horses and enabling them to do work; and that on account of being less lax ative than the oil meal, it is better adapted to the needs of horses at hard work Because of its high protein content and it's peculiar flavor, it gives most satisfactory results and is eaten with greater relish when fed in mix ture with some of the grains, such as corn, oats, milo or barley.
 In localities where alfalfa is the principal roughage. cottonseed meal is not needed to properly balance the ration for farm horses. Any of the grains mentioned are sufficient. Its value is more apparent where farmers must rely mainly on timothy or prairie hay or some of the coarse folders for roughage.

The North Arkansas zinc and lead

The North Arkansas zinc and lead field, which Is now producing its share of the zinc and lead that is being used in the manufacture of cartridges and bullets for the warning nations of Europe, will soon be furnishing salt petre in commercial quantities for the manufacture of powder with which to hurl them. Saltpetre has jumped from six cents 8 pound 8 year ago to 16 cents a pound at this time. The fn- creased price was caused by the in- creased demands on powder manufac- turers of this country by the belliger. ent nations. A representative of one of the largest powder concerns in the United States that furnishes this field with it's powder made the statement few days ago that higher price for saltpetre was anticipated. ProSpec- tors in Baxter and Marion counties are now investigating saltpetre bear ing clays with view of pressing min ing operations as soon as necessary mining and refining equipment neceS- sary to the industry can be installed. A late find of saltpetre-bearing clay near Rush, in Marion county, by Pierce and Palmer, two mining men of that camp, indicates that this chemical salt so necessary in the manufacture of powder can be mined and refined at profit in this field at the price it is now bringing on the market. A few days ago they made an experiment Ill refining some of the clay which they found, by a crude process, and recoy- cred two pounds of saltpetre from 16 pounds of clay. At this rate of recOv- cry saltpetre mining and refining will prove an exceedingly profitable indus try, for the clay lies in big deposits, is easily mined and large quantities of it can be handled at minimum ex- pense.

SOME ADVANTAGES
 OF SHEEP RAISING
Animal Produces Both Wool and Mutton - Rapid Monetary
 Returns Are Received.

A few sheep should be kept on every farm as they will return good profits with very little care or ex- pense. Some of the advantages in keeping them are:
 F'irst-The sheep is a dual purpose animal, producing both wool and nut ton.
 Second-The initial expenditure Is small Every farmer can well afford the investment of the necessary cap ital in few sheep.
 Third-Rapid monetary returns are received, the wool clip and the lamb crop being salable annually.
 Fourth-Expensive buildings are by no means necessary. A warm lambing pen is required, but for the aged sheep a shelter shed to protect them from the winter winds is alone sufficient.
 Fifth-Weed destruction represents another asset. Sheep will eat and rel ish almost every class of weed.
 Sixth-Sheep admittedly improve soil fertility Their manure is rich and uniformly distributed.
 Seventh-Except at certain seasons of the year, less time and attention need be bestowed upon the care of sheep than in the case of almost any other animal without thereby endan. gering successful results.

The States general revenue fund, laboring for many months under a great pile of unredeemed warrants, recuperated, and reduced the aggre- gate amount of outstanding indebted ness to s705, ,S3750, the lowest mark it has been able to reach since March 30, when it stood $693. 26697 behind. The amount of outstanding warrants will continue to decrease from now op, it is believed, as many sheriffs soon will make their settlements with the State treasurer.
 Twelve or fifteen sheriffs already have made partial settlements, but little cash has been turned into the general revenue fund, for the sheriffs have been accommodating to their friends holding State warrants and have cashed many. turning the State warrants into the State treasury to be credited to their respective counties. Many warrants were bought up hy railroads and large corporations, who got them at a discounted price, and who in turn used them in paying cer- tain taxes in the various counties. These warrants, together with war rants drawn by the State educational institutions and cashed by the sheriffs, form the bulk of the money coming into the treasury in partial settlement by the sheriffs.
 Officials believe the greater part of the amounts due the general revenue fund from sheriffs will be paid in war rants The sheriff of Mississippi County recently turned in S1S,000 in warrants The total settlement of his county will net the general revenue fund but S230o0, and S1S,000 of that has been turned in in warrants. Set dement's of other counties. insofar as they have been made, have been made. up of State warrants in similar pro- portion.

PAGE MAY SUE FOR
 FERTILIZER FUND
WOULD SETTLE QUESTION OF WHETHER AUDITOR MUST iS-
 SUE THE WARRANTS.
NO APPROPRIATION WAS MADE
Law Imposing the Tax Provides the Money Must Be Used For That
 Purpose and No Other.
Little Rock


 A second suit to secure funds for the operation of his office may be filed soon by John H. Page, commits sioner of mines, manufactures and az riculture The new suit would settle the question of whether the auditor must issue warrants on vouchers drawn by the head of a department against a fund raised specifically for a purpose, but out of which no appro- priatiOn was made by the Legislature The specific case MT. Page would cite is that of the fertilizer fund. The Leg islature failed to appropriate money out of the fund for inspection of feed and fertilizer, although the law impos- ing the tax which supplies the fund provides the money thus raised shall be used for that purpose and for TO other.

FRUIT GROWING AND
 POULTRY COMBINED
Trees Offer Great Advantage in Providing Shade and Insect
 Food for Fowls.

The most important problem for the digestion of our orchard people is to get more money out of their places. For years we have urged the advisabil- ity of these people taking up poultry culture as an adjunct to their business and we desire to again insist upon the necessity of considering this matter seriously. says Denver Field and Farm. The paid experts have fig ured out that nice young hen prop erly chaperoned and provisioned ought to return net profit of $2 a year although in all our travels we have never been able to discover such a remarkable performer in the hen family. It costs at least dollar a year to run a hen and when such a layer can return gross income of 8 she must perfunctorily be a cracker jack such as the most of us do not possess.
 Whether or not we can bring our laying hens up to yield of 150 eggs year is not the question however. The thing is to use the orchard tract for the running of fowls of one kind or another that will bring in a steady income so as to make the place more profitable at the expenditure of but little more time and money in the overhead charges,
 It seems easy enough to run 100 hens on each acre without materially interfering with the regular orchard work so that the one essentially is to get at it and do it.
 One man is carrying an annual flock of 600 birds to the acre where there are no trees and we do not see how the simple matter of trees has any thing to do in curtailing the proposi. tion when as a matter of fact they of. fer great advantage through the shade and the insect food they are all the time propagating.

COURT HOLDS STATE SCHOOL FUND LEGAL
DEMURRER IS SUSTAINED WHICH ALLEGES INSUFFICIENT CAUSE
 TO HOLD UP PAYMENTS.
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Last Legislature Failed to Appropriate Money For Common School or
 High School Fund.
Little Rock

Little Rock Chancellor J. E. Martineau dismiss ed the petition of B. A. Spradling of Cotter for an injunction to prevent State Auditor NJ F. Dickinson from is suing warrants on the common school fund of Arkansas The dismissal was coincident with the overruling of a demurrer filed by Auditor Dickinson on the ground that the petition did not state sufficient cause for action. At orney Allyn Smfh of Cotter. represent ing the plaintiff. appealed the case to the Arkansas Supreme Court.
 The suit attacking the state aid fund was filed by Senator w o. Ed mondson- His petition for an tnjunc, tton against the issuance Of warrants on this fund was granted, but an ap- peal was taken to the Supreme Court Both suits were based on the ground that the constitution of Arkansas pro- vides that no money shall be paid from the state treasury for any purpose m less a specific appropriation has been made by the previous Legislature. The last Legislature did not appropriate money for either the common school or the high school fund
 Chancellor Martineau said he dis missed the petition on the ground that to pay out this fund will do no one harm and has been done for 30 years or more without appropriations. This. he said, is in conflict with his former ruling. Although no money can be paid for aiding high schools if his first decision is upheld by the Supreme Court, the s50.000 set aside by the 1913 Legislature for this purpose will be used for the schools of the state anyway.

CRUDE PETROLEUM
 AS NANCE REMEDY
Hogs Afflicted Should Be Given Thorough Treatment at h.
 tervals of Eight Days.

By M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
 pertinent Station.)
 Treatment of hogs for mango should begin with vigorous scrubbing with brush, soap and soft water so as to remove the crust. A veriety of coal tar dips are on the market. Most of these are quite satisfactory if of sufi- cient strength and warm enough about 110 degrees, but do not boil. The hog should be given a good thorough soaking in the dip, not less than two minutes. The hog must go under head and all at least once. Treatment must usually be repeated one or more times at intervals of eight days. Treat the whole herd and do it thoroughly
 An effective dip can be made from crude petroleum as follows: Four gal Ions crude oil, 16 gallons of water and one pound of soap. The soap should be dissolved in the water by heating. An emulsion is then made by adding tie oil and thoroughly churning the mixture Water in different sections differs very greatly in the way it will combine with soap. If this amount of soap does not give good emulsion simply add more soap. Avoid oily dips in cold weather. While the hogs are taking the dip, thoroughly clean and then disinfect the pens. In case of true mango the fence posts, trees and everything against which the hogs rub must also be disinfected Use a etrong disinfectant and plenty of 1t, After treatment do not put the hogs back into lousy or maDgy pens.

the most profitable way of raising good horse flesh
 If farmer visits a reputable breed ing establishment in this country or Europe, he will find that every effort is made to breed along pure lines of the breed that is to be first developed and then perpetuated. So in this way we get the best specimens of any kind whatsoever.
 Sore shoulders and consequently balky teams are the consequence of hard work during the spring months if the harness does not fit properly.
 Watch the collar, and unless it is fitting tight, either use an excess pad or a smaller collar The latter is al- ways preferable.
