ATTEMPTING TO MODERATE
FURY OF SPECUIAT1oy

NEW YORK. August 8.-Attempts to
moderate the fury OF speculation last
week made their principal Impression
IN lessened volume OF transactions,
Stock Exchange authorities were
watchful for practices forbidden by tho
rules Occasional profit-taking move
ments reflected A disposition towards
prudence.
Speculation was fortified by snbstan-
tial evidences OF profitable business
from war orders. Voluntary wage adj
vnnces by several companies engaged
In this business was one of these. ON
cial estimates Of the weeks foreign
trade showed the outward tide Of mer-
chandise maintained at full flood. Pig
iron production at the end of July
reached rate of 100000 tons year,
which Is in excess OF any years actual
output. Pig iron prices made decisive
advances
Speculation In railroad stocks Jagged,
but prices generally were firm in sym
pathy with industrials Extreme ease
in tho money market was undisturbed.
The Pan-American plan for action in
Mexico Influenced some stocks.

old. and there is nothing better than
n little milk and shorts to get them
started. Then feed them literally. and
by the time YOU wcan them, at eight

! am satisfied that great many of
our farmers lose all the profit in the
business by the way they handle tho
pigs at the weaving time. am
strong believer in raising the little
pigs out in the open. OF course. YOU
must have shelter for them in storms
and for feeding purposes, but let them
have access to the earth: keep them
on the ground and give them green
bone and muscle and a strong stomac CHI.
They are always on their feed, and
always AT their feed like to have
them out on a clover pasture or on
peas and rape. For later pastures.
rape gives satisfactory results. OF
course, YOU must feed the pigs rea-
sonably al the same time
We all know that Tor economic pro-
duetion mixture Of several grains
fed together will give better results
than any one grain fed alone.
i cannot lay down n hard and fast
rule. Some seasons oats might he
very satisfactory. but if YOU get such
combination as high priced oats IL
would be foolish TO advocate them,
especially when we have TO purchase
our feed.
During the winter months in a root
growing country believe roots are
good food, and should compose large
proportion OF the ration, and be-
lieve in boiling the roots and feeding
some grain.
Do not load them up with great
lot OF water; feed the roots in rather
thick batter. and mix in your shorts
and m!ddlings and Whatever grain YOU
might happen 10 have For the larger
pigs pulp the roots and feed the meal
sprinkled on. In section where
winters are cold. il is well to take
the chill off the food, and always see
that the pigs clean the troughs up
and do not leave any material in them.
a great many people make the mis-
take OF having food left in the trou-
Pay particular attention TO Cleanld-
ness, have dry beds and give them dry
straw TO lie on.
In the winter months give them
wood ashes and charcoal and sod or
earth OF some kind. Earth seems TO
be absolutely necessary to keep the
digestive organs in good condition.

Arkansas Farmers Use Serum.

Williams Bros, of Diaz. and s. l.. Bleakley of Auvergne, progressive far mers, are setting an example to Jack son County. They have ordered large shipments of serum from the Serum Plant at Little Rock They admin is- tered the simultaneous treatment and have not lost hog yet. David Thi- bault, county agricultural agent of Jackson County, in a report to Dean T. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas said that these two large orders from two rep resentative farmers, has served as stimulus to other hog raisers of Jack son County to use anti-hog cholera se- rum as a preventative against hog cholera. The serum may be obtained from the State Serum plant at Little Rock by writing Dr. R. M. Cow, State Veterinarian, Old State House, Little Rock. The serum may be bought for one and one-half cents per cubic cen- timeter. A few cents invested in this way may save you many dollars

PREPARE TIE APPLE
 EXHIBITS F0R FAIR
Then Clean Up the Orchard After Picking Clean and Getting Rid of Rotten Apples, Broken Limbs and Trash.

Choose only perfect specimens for fair exhibit. Any judge of fruit is justified in assuming that if a plate of apples shows one imperfect one, the exhibitor could not find enough per feet ones in his orchard to make a complete plate. Apples for exhibit should be saved out at picking time. ], A good plate of fruit is uniform ir size, in color; is not too large; is not too bir aly colored for the variety, and shoy absolutely no blemish due to insect or disease.
 A good box of fruit is made of the hest possible specimens, as nearly ab- sOlutely uniform in size and color as they can be-.
 It is packed by the methods which follow the rules of the fair at which it is exhibited. It is just as good in side clear to the bottom as it is on top.
 After picking an orchard clean, 1t fore 1t is left.
 Get rid of all mummies, rotten ap- ples and broken limbs that were dam aged during picking. Clean the fence rows of weeds. If the orchard is to be sown to winter cover crop, see that the crop is planted we'll up un- der the trees and well out to the fences and in the corners.
 A good way to get rid of rotten ap- ples and mummies, if there are many of them, is a blow furrow, one round to each middle, turning the furrow away from the tree. Rake the mum. mics and rotten apples in and throw the furrow back on them.-J. Lee Hewitt, Plant Pathologist, Arkansas College of Agriculture, Fayetteville.

A few more hay balers in Ar kansas would result in larger acreage of forage crops and hay crops.

In order to furnish premiums for boys of the corn and pig club making report at exhibit days at Sheridan in October, County Agent w. c. Vickry of Grant County, says that in one and one-half hours the merchants of Sher. idan recently donated SIPS with which to buy premiums. All is to be given to the boys for their excellent club work this year. MT Viclry says in his report to the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas this amount was better than anybody thought would be secured, and it is evidence of the real interest the mer- chants and others have in the club work.
