Attend Every Day


The consecutive programs of the
Lamar Farmers Week are so arrang-
ed as to constitute a logical course
and in order to get the best out of
any one days session, all sessions for
the week should be attended. 1t will
be found to be profitable to set aside
the week and to attend every day. The
program offers a wealth of good
things no progressive farmer can af-

CALONEL DYNAN|TES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Lose a Days
 Work.

Caome salivatesl It's mercury. calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get 50-cent bottle of Dodsons Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomeI. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money
 If you take calomel today you will be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like 1t. Adv.

CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots of It in Nena, But Daily Grow

 The kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed;
 Not one more important to health.
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood
 When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poison blood

GROWING ANIMALS ON THE
 FARM.
No. I. Growing Beef Cattle.
By H. k. Dvorachek, Professor of Ami nal Husbandry. University of

By If. k. Dvorachek, Professor of Ani-
 nal Husbandry. University of
 Arkansas.
 The growing of beef cattle has al ways been at its best where pasture IS plentiful, so that cattle can feed themselves good share of the time. Besides pastures, the growing of for age crops is essential to cheap produc- ton. Of the forage crops the legumes are especially desirable The long pasture season on nutritious, native grasses and the adaptibility of Ar. kansas conditions to tipe growing ot legumes should make the production or beef cattle profitable.
 The proper wintering of the beef COW Is an important matter. The prac- tlce of allowing the COW to rough 1t through the winter without any pro vision of feed by the owner is utterly wrong. An unthrifty condition IS pound to result and the COW comes out Of the winter too thin, in many cases, to give birth to a strong calf, much less provide an abundant flow
 
 or milk which is so necessary to start the calf off right, and keep it growing until it Is old enough to utii- 1e pasture. The ration for breeding cows need not be expensive. In fact. II silage can be provided, and there IS no reason why 1t cannot, on large majority of Arkansas farms, and some oried roughage preferably one of the iegumes, can be given, no grain will pc necessary to bring cows out in the spring in splendid condition If the urled roughage must be such crops as the sorghums. Sudan grass, or na- tive grasses, a few pounds of cotton seed meal will supply the protein re. qulrement very cheaply.
 II the calf is given plenty of milk py the COW on pasture, and pastures are abundant. it should come in in the fall at weaning time in excellent condition, and from early spring calv- lng' should weigh between four and nve hundred pounds The first win. ter IS the critical time in the life of beef calf At weaning time 1t should pc eating sufficiently we'll so that the JOSS Of milk will work little hardship Instead of the common practice of let. ing such weanlings go through the winter trying to make an existence on some poor unpalatable dried roughage.

 The weak voice sounded loud in his ears-louder than the thunder CT the guns. He made a movement of stunned assent.
