Reliable data shows that more than S3000,000 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 a foothold very slowly, Each year the crop remnants of the year before car " 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 on hand than was noticeable the year before.

LIKED THAT KIND OF MAN
TacIturn Pianist Formed Acquaint. ance of Man Whom He Cor
 diaIIy Approved.

Though very fond of hearing or telling good story, a well-known pianist is rather taciturn. Once. if is reported, Scottish friend of his whom he liked very much, went homa with him after a concert in Edinburgh Both gentlemen sat down to coffee and cigarettes, and as midnight struck they had not yet exchanged a word Finally the guest risked a bold and novel query.
 Do you like Beethoven"
 The pianist emptied his cup and said, softly:
 Beethoven good"
 Half an hour later came another question::
 And how do you like Wagner"
 To which the other retortea.
 "Wagner-not good"
 Having exhausted his stock of in. quisitiveness, the Scotchman got up to bid his host adieu.
 Stay yet, my friend" said the musician; T like your conversation very much"
 And both remained in profound silence until 3 a. m. struck, when they wished one smother good night and parted.

ALCOHOL AND THE MAN.

Why should the sale and manufac- ture of alcoholic liquor be prohibited in our own country and in all the countries of the world? The answer, says Dr. Carolyn Geisel in her lecture on "Alcohol and the Man Himself is found in the brain and body of man. She shows chart containing the pho tographs of two brain cells-one from the brain of a normal man who had worked all his life for the good Of humanity and bequeathed his body after death to the dissecting table; the other from the brain of Gl alCO- holic, victim of the liquor tTahic, who had gone to Paris ard dlea in dis grace and whose body was taken to the cIinique, where the bodies of criminals, paupers and defectiyes arc used for dissection. The picture of the two brain cells shows the normal with it's multitude of fine Gbers. al elastic for the life vibrations like Q beautiful plume of feathers, and the abnormal, a mere skeleton of what it once was, distorted, stunted and thick 6ueu, all the uneSt ulamentS gone and what is left too stiff to feel except dimly any call of the living spirit
 Why doesn't a man stop drinking when he knows it is injuring him? This is answered by a chart contain ing a picture of one of the nerve cen ters of the brain It, too, is feathery in general form and all it's fronds are In curvine or bending lines. as if way ing or moving, except one. That is short little straight line coming direct from the nerve center in lateral di- rectOn. It is the inhibitory nerve the one that says mo- All the oth- CTS are nerves of action, of impulse: this alone is the curb, the check, tho brake. Alcohol attacks this nerve. softens, Weakens and destroys it. In the brain of an alcoholic it is absolute ly gone; how can the man say ''no?" The will power which he had in his normal state is poisoned and wound ed, and it hardens until it dies. He is utterly dependent on outside control for safety

CHOLERA |S AN ENIGMA
 HOGS DEATH A MYSTERY
If Swine Die and You Are in Doubt, See Veterinaran-A Post Nortem Will Tell You Don't Take a Chance.

Many hogs die of hog cholera ana the cause remains a mystery. When a hog dies and the owner has any doubt as to the cause of its death he should consult 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 a hog should have at least primary knowledge in diagnos- ing a case of cholera
 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 a knife. If cholera is the trouble the spleen or melt is enlarged. Remove the kidney with a sharp knife and then take off the thin membrane. Small spots about the size of 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 of the largo

THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS"

This war has given the greatest blow to the drink traffic the world has ever known While empires are tottering, statesmen and people are beginning to realize the dangers of al cohol, and all nations are recommend ing total abstinence to their soldiers" says Miss Agnes F. Slack of England honorary secretary of the Worlds w. c. T. U. AS one magazine writer we'll puts it: That some of the cruel consequences of war should be unex- pectedly offset by great social and economic reform is one of the ironies of circumstances"

PUT AWAY THE GINMlLLS,

This is the way the 'Line-O,Type or Two" column of the Chicago Trib- une sizes up the situation:
 ''If one is charitably disposed-as most of us are-he had better keep away from the poor parts of the city, and mediate at long range on the misery of the submerged fraction. Nothing more quickly dries the springs of sympathy than the sight of a string of ginmills doing thriving business. Here swarm the heads of families to fling away their wages, and we are asked to commiserate and support their wretched progeny"

Strength of Cedar.

The resistance of cedar wood to de cay has long been famous, and cedar fenceposts often last for generations. A remarka ble instance of the inde- structibility of cedar has been noted ill the state of Washington, where Q forest of hemlocks, near Acme, has grown up over an ancient buried for est of cedars. The trunks of cedar, although lying in a moist soil, have been almost perfectly preserved for at least 150 years, the length of time that the rings of growth show the hemlocks to have been growing above their fallen predecessors.

Good Stock Must Be Protected intestine. This blind pouch is located by tracing the small intestine to where it enters the large intestine. Cut off the small intestine where it enters the large one and then cut off the large me just beyond the opening and split the blind pouch open. Wash the mtes- tine by dipping in water.

 These ulcers are not always found in acute cases. Lung lesions are of ten found and resemble pneumonia symptoms, portions oi the lung becom- ing solid like the liver (normal lungs are spongy).

SCiENoS SPEAKS.

Science says that we are surround ed with myriads and myriads of invis. ible foes ever on the alert to discov- CT the point of successful attack, and we are furnished with garrison of unseen friends who ordinarily dis charge the function of police and of the department of health, but who in the event of an invasion mobilize with extraordinary celerity and precision. A struggle ensues and the victory goes to the stronger. Within the ken of science there is nothing which de- stroys the physical defenses as alco- hol destroys them, just as there is nothing which brings to the ground the defenses of the spirit as drinking does. and as there is nothing to equal alcohol as a producer of crime-Rev.

4 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 be started in 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.
 Plants like cabbage. caulifiower and Brussels sprouts also are often starter in this way. By successive plantings we can have an abundant supply ot any vegetable from early summer til frost. The farmer should remember that rotation in a garden Is as i'm. portant as it is in the regular farming because of insects and fungous dis. eases.

They took him out of the passenger coach very carefully, and the two men, who looked as anxious as brothers might, supported him under the arms and helped him out to a hack.

 No, not exactly.' replied one of the attendants.
 Fall out of tree or over a preci- pice?"
 No, I couldn't say that he did"
 Maybe he was tossed by bull or ran over by cows?" persisted the of- ficer, whose curiosity was aroused.
 No; nothing like that"

 We hope not, but it looks that way"
 He looks to me like man who'd had a we'll cave in on him. Perhaps that was the case?"
 Well, no," slowly replied the man, as he was ready to follow his patient into the hack. You see, he's a pu- gilist, and we took him out to coun- try town, and rung him in as a green horn to meet a country boy"
 And he knocked the country boy out in two rounds, of course?"
 Did he? We'll. haven't heard of 1t!

MOST VALUABLE ASSET,

The most valuable asset of any state and nation is it's people.

The liquor traffic costs more each year than our whole civil service, our army, navy and congress; the river, harbor and pension bills; all we pay for local government; all national, state and county debts; and all the schools in the country.
