Barley commonly is classified as

Barley is shallow feeder. its roots

It does not feed so extensively as oats
or wheat. therefore It requires we'll

more readily to good tillage and the

HOW TO PREVENT THE RuNTs

Of Pigs by Themselves.

Some pigs are born runts; some are
not born runts, but for no apparent
reason grow up that way and are out
stripped by the rest Of tho litter. A
correspondent to an Eastern farm
paper states that this is due to the
fact that some pigs are much faster
eaters than others. Some pigs eat
and drink very slowly. The slow
eaters are invariably the runts II all
are fed together.
When there Is marked difference

said that the cotton planter in
turning to new crops needs many
prompt, reliable and practical
answers to questions on the con-

HARD BLOW FOR
LIQUOR SELLERS
Law Recently Enacted VIII Make
Blind Tiger Business Unprof-
liable in Arkansas

Blind tigering will be a very I'M
profitable business if the bill by
Representative Woods, defining a
nuisance in relation to the illegal
sale of liquor, and which has just
been signed by Governor Hays, is
rigidly enforced The act is mod
eled after the famous Tennessee
statue, and is intended to get the
man higher up in the blind tig-
er business, the man who allows
his buildings to be used for
the purpose of illegal liquor traf-
fic.
Under this law an investigation
may be ordered, where there is
cIuse to believe that the liquor
laws are being violated, and if
violations are found the chancell-
or is authorized to order the place
of business closed, and any re-
opening of the place for the pur-
pose of illegal sale Of liquor works
as a conviction for contempt of
court and subjects the agent,
owner or person in charge of the
building to imprisonment from 80
days to six months, in addition to
a fine of not exceeding $50. The
building is closed and may not be
reopend for any purpose within a
year.
In determining whether or not
liquor is being sold illegally, the
court may take prima facie evil
dence of such violation the posses
sion by the defendant of an inter-
nal revenue liquor tax stamp, or a
record showing that he has taken
out a revenue license. Copies of
the records in the district internal
revenue collector are admissible
in evidence.
Not only is the attorney gener-
al or the prosecuting attorney
authorized to file a petition with
the court to abate a blind tiger
nuisance, but any five citizens
may, without the concurrence of
such officers, and upon their own
relation, file such petition and de-
mand an investigation within the
premises.
The bill was signed by Governor
Hays last Saturday afternoon.
