edin Sick Room Fifty Years
is No More on Earth.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-AIiss Mollie
Fancher, who celebrated her golden
jubilee" as an invalid eight days ago,
died Friday at her home in Brooklyn.
Miss Fancher was known to thous.
ands of people all over the world
through the extraordinary CORE
spondence she built up during the
half century OF her inyalidism. AL
though bedridden and only able to
move her right arm, she worked UNI
ceasingly at knitting and embroidery
and is said to have used up 100000
pounds OF worsted.
In 1885, when Miss Fancher was
IL years old and noted for her beau
ty, she was thrown from her horse
and terribly injured. A year later
she was tho victim of street car ac-
cident which deprived her of the use
of all her limbs except her right arm,
For nine yeats she remained in a
trance-like condition during which
period her friends insisted she was
a clairyoyant. 1t was in these years
that she built up her correspondence
debating total of 6,90Oletters. Dur
ing the fifty years of her imprison-
ment in sick room, Miss Fancher's
chief nourishment was the juice of
fruit.

The value Of this sugar to the Amer

the beet farmers Of the West who
grew the beets over $40,000,0O0.
Beet sugar made in this campaign
was sold in practically every state
in the Union during the fall and
winter months, and at wholesale
prices averaging about one-half q

BY the retiners for sugar made from
imported raws. This price reduction

WEANLING PIGS CROW FAST
Greatest Gains for Feed Consumed Arc Made in Early Lffe-Lard
 Hogs Becoming Unpopular.

The prevalent opinion seems to be that swine were designed to eat up the corn crop and grow into 300 pound porkers. Under certain cir. cumstances there is a better profit in selling weanlings than in feeding tRem up to the usual market weights.
 Exact trials at many experiment. stations show that the greatest gains for feed consumed are made in early life and that as the animals grow old CT it takes more feed to produce a pound of pork.
 The sucking pig grows very fast and converts nearly all of it's rations into meat. If the SOW Is fed liberally she, too, will make some gains while supporting her brood. The weanling weighing 25 to 40 pounds is almost clear gain and will often bring ten cents pound at this age.
 On the same principle the 150-pound pig will make more profitable re- turns on feed consumed than if left until it weighs 250 pounds. There is an increasing number of farmers who prefer to sell light bacon hogs" and fewer who continue to feed lard hogs" up to the extra fat classes that were popular score of years ago.

District No. 3, North of Crawfords- vilIe and Earle, Will Cost Approxi- mateiy $25o,Ooo When 1t Is
 Completed.
Marion

Mar1On.-
 Formal organization of two more drainage districts in Crittenden coun. ty has been effected at Marion, the county seat, the three commissioners of the newly organized Drainage Dis trict No 3 will meet. The commits sioners are H. A. Morrison, D. 5. Woolard and Guy Bland. A chairman, attorney and other otncers will be chosen, survey ordered and bond is- sue arrangements made.
 Drainage District No. lies north of Charlottesville and Earle, and fork of 1t touches Clarksdale. It will drain 47,000 acres and there will be some 55 miles of ditches It will cost about s25O,0OO.
 Drainage District No. s, through It's three recently appointed commission CTS, M. c. Pearce, c. F. Lewis and !. F. Fogleman, will begin their first work early this week. This district canal will drain 14,000 acres just north of Memphis in the Mound City and Fogleman section, and is to cost about S120,000.
 Within a few months by the time work begins on these districts there will be p gigantic dredge boats work ing simultaneously in Crittenden county on the entire seven canal dis tricts. With two more canal districts yet to De organized in the south end, there will be completed the full $2,- 500,000 drainage system of Crittenden county, which will be the equal of any in the United States.
 Tri-County Drainage District, in the western section about Earle, has al. most completed all the ditches in the upper end. and the land owners are beginning to cultivate all the low lands and former cypress brakes. This is a S500.000 canal. District No. ?, to serve 90.000 acres about Crawfords- vile, has sold its S470,00O of bonds, and the dreLges will begin work soon. All boats are working in District No. 5. which embraces large acreage north of Clarksdale.
 Contractors are assembling machin- cry to begin work in District No. $. immediately opposite Memphis. This territory is just west of the levee. and includes the Bridge Junction. Huri- burt. Marion and Blanton sections. Six dredge boats will be put to work In District No. ' this spring, This sec ton includes the Gilmore and Turrell lands.

in small quantities in and upon the skin of cattle which are repeatedly dipped in arsenical dips.
 The discovery of the European OK warble in certain sections of the North makes this pest significant to northern cattle raisers and to those who import pure-bred or other cattle from these sections. During the winter and spring months considerable numbers of pure bred live stock are purchased in the northeastern states and are shipped to various parts of the country. It is urged that all animals thus transport ed be examined by the purchasers and all grubs destroyed during the spring and summer. Animals purchased at any season of the year may harbor these pests. In the winter and spring they will be found beneath the skin on the back, while at other times of the year the grubs are elsewhere in the body of the host, and it will be neces- sary to watch for the appearance of these grubs during the following sea- son. In those states in which regis tration of all imported animals is re- quired it would be comparatively easy for the authorities to follow up such importations and see that any warbles are destroyed

ter. yet the cost of maintenance of the brood SOW is practically the same whether she brings two pigs or ten pigs per litter, which means that the farmers are losing a large percentage of profit by keeping such brood sows in their herds.
 There are several reasons why brood sows bring small filters, and I firmly believe that the one which con- tributes to the trouble more than any other is the practice of breeding sows too young. It is no uncommon thing to find sows weighing less than one hundred pounds with pigs. Usually you find them with only two pigs Tho young sows which you intend to keep for brood sows should never be bred under nine months of age, and it is much better to wait until they arc twelve or fourteen months old. Then if they are not full developed, wait . few months longer. Your brood SOW Is good for six or eight years, and, if by waiting a few months in the be- ginning before starting her on her life work. you can increase the size of her filters. you have certainly made good wages for those months. Another thing which contributes to no slight extent to cause small filters is the lack of exercise.

GOOD VENTILATION FOR HOGS
Frequently When Shed 10 Closed Anl- maIs Become Heated and Must
 lnhale Impure Air.

Of little less importance than tho ventilation of this years crop of corn is that of securing proper ventilation for the animals that eat 1t, according to the Nebraska College of Agricul- turc. This is particularly true of hogs.
 Frequently when the shed is closed tightly the hogs will become heat cd, as well as be obliged to inhale impure air. Such hogs. on being ex- posed to cold air, are likely to be- ccsne susceptible to disease, espe- cialiy pneumonia and so-called hog rheumatism.

easily put into effect on small farms and in dairies. In the southern states the herds should be gone over early in December and about twice later at monthly intervals. In the northern states the extraction should be begun six weeks to two months later. If no grubs are allowed to drop to the ground and reach maturity, the num- Der appearing in cattle in subsequent years will be materially reduced, and if extraction is followed up for several years almost complete eradication will result. Of course it is important where possible to get concerted ac- tion among the stockmen in the de- struction of these pests.
 In extensive experiments along this line in Germany it was determined that the cost of removing all of the warbles from the backs of cattle during one season was about three cents per head. In this case men were employed es- pecially to do the work. It is possible for practically every farmer and dairy man in this country to accomplish this work without material expense or loss of time.
 It is suggested that in those con- munities where cowtesting associa. tions have been formed the men charged with this work could in many cases devote part of their time to edu- eating the stock raisers as to the losses caused by OK warbles, and to aiding the members of the association in destroying the pests.
 Investigations conducted by the de- partment indicate that eradication also may be accomplished by the use of arsenical dips. which are extensive ly employed at the present time for destroying cattle ticks. These inves- tigations are being extended. and ex- perimental work Is in progress which 1t is hoped may establish effective and practicable methods of destroying war. bles. The arsenical dip appears to act not upon the well-developed grub be. meath the skin, but upon the eggs or the newly matched larvae, probably the latter. It is not unlikely that the destructive action of arsenical dips up- on warbles is more or less dependent upon the fact that arsenic is stored up

 The establishment was turned over to Jack Walker, internal revenue col lector for Arkansas, with headquarters at Little Rock. The eight-section cop per still, having capacity of 2,469 gallons, will be dismantled and re- moved to Little Rock, where it will be sold. This still was put in after the operators of the plant began to moonshine. following their notice to the revenue department that they had ceased business.
 The plant was held in the name Of J. c. Brewbaker of Kansas City. Brew baker has disappeared.
