RINGING THE VICIOUS HOGS
unruly Sows Inclined to Make Trouble
Of Various Kinds May Be Sub.
dued by Use Of Ropes.

When the sows get unruly and In.
clined to make trouble Of various
kinds they can be readily controlled
by an arrangement made Of ropes and
placed around the Jaws Of the animal
Such a rope is not easy to put in po.
sition with an angry hog, 80 a little
device made OF an old broom handle
10 used. Insert q small hook In one
end OF the handle and near the other
end nail strap, which, fastened 80 as
to form loop, will enable one to get
flrmer grip on the handle, Then
take the rope and make slip moose
In one end, hang II from the hook on
the end Of the small pole and, with q
quick movement, place the loop over
and around the upper Jaw, when the
mouth Ia forced open. Take hold Of
the rope with one hand just above the
moose and with the help Of the ringer
insert the ring or rings on the snout.
The animal will be unable TO fight
much with this appliance around Its
Jaw.

Save Your Seed

How many Arkansas farmers
have saved their seed corn, their
cotton seed, their own peas, soy
beans, peanuts, sorghum? If one
farmer who reads this has not saw
ed seed for next spring, let him get
busy and get his seed put away. A
farmer who has to buy seed Dext
spring will deserve the criticism of
all good farmers Take the poll of
a township or your school district
and see if one farmer has neglected
his duty and then pray for him,
then pray with him and if that
won't bring him, duck" him is the
suggestion of the Extension Division
of the College of Agriculture at
Fayetteville.

GROUND WIRES SAVE STOCK
Gives Considerable Protection From
Lightning and 10 Profitable In.
vestment for Farmers.

(py FRANK NJ, WHITE, Wisconsin Ag-
rieultural college)
Grounding fence wires affords con-
siderable protection from lightning
and Is a worth while investment for
farmers.
As hundreds OF valuable animals are
struck by lightning In this state every
sun Ter, many Of the casualties be.
Ing directly due to currents carried
along pasture fences, such advice Ia
particularly timely,
TO secure the best results ground
wires ought TO be ploeed about one
hundred feet apart and closely stapled
TO the post, 40 as form contact with
every one OF the fence wires. The
ground wires should also extend slight.
ly above tho fence post, and, like a
lightning rod, should penetrate the soil
far enough TO reach moist earth, No,
8 or wire Ia most satisfactory for
this purpose.

WINTER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Wise Shepherd viii See That Arrange
ments for Protection Of Flock Are
Good and Sufficient.

The shepherd who is wise enough to
be prepared for wet wintry days and
cold winter nights does not dread losses
from pneumonia, and the mortality in
the lambing season Of next February
and March that will come from breed
ing ewes that have been weakened by
exposure. AS winter begins to draw
little nearer, he sees that hi; shelter
ing arrangements are all that they
ought to be.
1t does not matter whether the sheds
used by the sheep are so very warm or
not. But they must not be so open that
the wind can whistle through them and
there must be plenty of ventilation,
says a writer in Farm Progress.
Plenty of light and ventilation, and
freedom from drafts are the main
considerations. The warmth of the
shed Is less important than the ne
cessity Of good sound roof.
| Inever put more than fifty sheep in
single shed. More than that number
will be hard to manage and the
chances of accidents among ewes with
lamb will be greatly increased. The
shed ought to be about twice as long
as 1t Is wide and there should be
ample room for every animal to lie
down inside its doors without the ap-
.pearance Of crowding the place. The
floor must Of course be absolutely dry
and remain that way.
The feeding rack should be placed
on one side Of the shed and should
consist Of a flat-bottomed trough at
the bottom, surmounted by a we'll

WILL Be TRIED NEXT MONTH
Will Dobbs Will Go To Trial At Walnut RIDGE
For Murder OF StepdsushteL

Will Dobbs, charged with having
criminally assaulted and then mur-
dered his young stepdauehter, Miss
Bette Burleson, near Walnut Ridge
last week, will be tried at a special
session of circuit court to be con-
vened at Walnut Ridge on Monday,

Judge Dene II, Coleman has call

to prevent mob violence Is for the
courts to act promptly.
An account Of this crime was
given In the Record last week.

was almost severed from the body,
and she had been assaulted, Dobbs
first claiming to officials that the

After his arrest Dobbs was re-
moved from the county for safe

GET ON The Cash WAGON
Arkansas Farmers Pay Enormous Interest Rates
Through Credit System.

Arkansas gets "on the water
wagon" on January |, 1915, and it
will be a glorious step in advance
ment. If every loyal citizen will
demand the rigid enforcement of
the law it will be enforced.
Then why would it not be a fine
thing if one hundred thousand
farmers would get on the cash
wagon" and be able to stay there
until next November? Mighty few
farmers who can stay on until No.
vember will ever Get off.
Clarence Poe, editor Of the Prog
ressive Farmer, { h at wonderful
farm paper, says time prices" in
Arkansas equal ninety per cent in
terest per annum. He says the
average cash price Of corn in Ar
kansas is SO cents, while the aver
age time price" is $109; flour $1.3O
and $1.70; molasses so cents and
65 cents; sugar 7 IL cents and 10
cents.
Let Arkansas farmers quit buy
ing on credit. Get square with the
world, keep tools in good shape,
keep your place neat and your
stock in good condition, and find
new sources of income. If the
money runs out 90 with an honest
mans face and borrow money from
the banks or your friends on the
best terms you can get. Then buy
your goods for cash and see that
you get good bargains.
The Extension Division of the
College of Agriculture at Fayette-
vile recently requested letters from
Arkansas farmers and their wives
as to their present sources of cash
income, and as to what success
they have experienced with the
cash system over the practice of
buying on time,
Let everybody make q strong try
for the cash wagon" and stay
there forever

built rack, made Of Stats nailed about
three inches apart. Put It out far
enough from the side wall so that the
ewes may feed at 1t from both sides.
Where the space is not great enough
to allow the rack to be built out from
the wall so sheep can feed from both
sides, the bottom Of the rack will have
to be built slanting enough to slide
all the grain, hay, chaff, trashy bits
Of forage and leaves, down to the side
where the sheep are feeding, This
will keep the far side of the rack from
filing up with moldy feed.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable For a great many years
doctors pronounced It a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t incur
able. Science has proved Catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment, Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by T. j, Cheney & Co.,

KANSAS STOCK
GROWERS MEETING
Page Advises Farmers to At
tend Little Rock Meeting
In January.

Farmers who have attended prev
ious meetings of the Arkansas
Stock Growers Association and
know the value of this annual
gathering of stockmen will be pleas
ed to learn that there will be held
in connection with the next conven-
ton, which meets at Little Rock on
January II, IL and 13, an exhibi-
ton of cattle and hogs and an auc-
ton sale of pure bred stock on each
afternoon of the three days.
Speakers of national reputation
on every phase of the stock-growing
subject will be present to give the
farmers the benefit of their know
ledge and experience. The Arkan-
sas Stock Growers Association was
organized four years ago on the in
itiation of this department and it
now has membership of 500, in
Guiding the leading farmers and
stock breeders in each community.
M. M. Rutherford of Sulphur Rock,
is President, and Prof. V. c. Rays of
the Jonesboro Agricultural School,
Secretary.
At the time of the meeting farm
work is slack and the man who is
interested in stock can we'll afford
to come to Little Rock and get the
full benefit of these splendid meet
ings. He not only has an opportu-
nifty to learn, but he may help other
growers by giving them the benefit
Of his ideas The most interesting
feature of the meeting is the free
r-all-discussions of everyday prob
lens.
Growers who have stock for sale
or animals to show are invited to
bring them to this meeting. Two
hundred head of exhibition stock
have been pledged. A large show
room will be provided near the con-
vention hall and after the lectures
in the morning the rest of the day
will be devoted to the show and
auction.
Shows Of this kind stimulate inter-
est in blooded stock. On a small
scale it will be like the International
at Chicago, and the Royal at Kansas
City stock exhibitions, which no
breeder of the middle west would
think of missing. Begin to make
your plans to attend this meeting.
If you have nothing to sell maybe
you will see something that you
will want to buy. Anyway, it will
be three days we'll spent.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Home HELMS,

When pairing potatoes do not waste
"a clean pan; newspaper will hold
all the parings.
Sliced oranges and shredded CO.
coanut put into dish in alternate
layers is a delicious dessert.
If your soup is too salty, try adding
few slices of raw potatoes and cook
a little longer. The potatoes will
absorb the surplus salt.
Before stuffing a chicken, rub IL
inside and out with bacon drippings.
Sausage, instead of suffing in a chic
ken is an agreeable change
A generous piece of newspaper
crumpled into ridges acts as an eff
cient drain to all croquettes, fritters,
doughnuts and bacon. Rubber bands
are inexpensive and are of great use
in preparing lunches to fasten the

THE BETTER WAY.

IL the phone is working badly,
And your patience runs amuck;
Or at central they are snoozing-
For sometimes you have sucA
Or the wires disconnected,
Or short-circuited somewhere,
Do not swear at the transmitter
For they amt nobody there.
If you're cranking at your auto
Till you're cranked almost to
death,
Then you up and do more cranking
AS you take another breath,
Do not cuss the auto-maker
And the auto-do not knock 1t
You may find, if you will look there
That the key is in your pocket.
If the coal bills run too heavy,
Or the gas bills go too high;
Or the snow is hard to shovel,
Or the town is going dry;
And the freezing winds of winter
Chill you to the very bone,
Just remember that the ice mans
alternating now at home.
While the freezing winds of winter
Sing their dismal, woeful song;
And the SHOWS still fall around us
AS we're journeying along;
Tho the mercury goes to zero,
And sometimes away below,
We're not troubled with mosquitoes,
Nor the lawn we used to NOW.
So no matter what you're doing,
And no matter where you're at,
You'll have many little troubles
You had best remember that
But YOU can smooth out the worries,
You can make life worth the while,
IL You'll greet your little troubles
With winsome little smile.
