PREPARING A DAIRY HEIFER
Kindness and Gentle Handling Will Remedy Kicking Habit-Halter-
 break While Young.

You must have foresight in prepar- ing the dairy heifer for her first milk ing period. If you handle the udder and teats so as to develop the udder, doing this at least twice a week for six or eight weeks before calving, the heifer will then be quiet and gentle and will not be afraid when her udder is touched after she has calved. Also her udder will be developed so that it will almost resemble a cows udder.
 It is natural for the COW to stand while being mixed, consequently the heifer knows nothing about kicking until hurt or frightened into it. It is a good plan to halterbreak a heifer when she is young, always being care- ful not to hurt or frighten her. If by accident anything should be done to cause the heifer to kick it is not the

EXERCISE IS GOOD
 FOR THE STALLION
Animal Should Be Handled by Man Who Understands His
 Business Thoroughly.

(By c. w. MCAMPBEkL. Secretary of
 Kansas Live Stock Registry Board)
 Stallions should be worked regular ly provided the man who works them understands them and gives them proper care. A stallion should be bro- ken to harness before he is two years old.
 The man who breaks a stallion to harness, especially after the horse has reached maturity, must be a thor ough horseman, not afraid, and yet able to handle the horse with consid- eration as well as firmness.
 Remember that while the horse is big he usually is soft and cannot stand lot of hard work at first. Give him only few hours light work each day for several months. After he is hard ened to it give him a full days work except during breeding season when he may be worked half time.

Community Forum.

Discussing the advantages of the community forum as the embodiment of fundamental ideals of American government, Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, says:
 NO government will ever be safer or wiser than the popular sentiment Of the masses of the people. The one guaranty that this sentiment will not be wrong is the systematic provision of the means of organized public dis. cusslon. Democracy is the education- al form of government. Other forms of control may be more efficient, but government through public discussion means more in the advancement of the race.'

part of wisdom to punish her for kick ing.
 Kindness and gentle handling is the only remedy. If one lets his reasoning for the cause be based upon the prin- ciple that she never kicked until she was injured, thef remedy will at once suggest itself. No COW was ever brok- en of kicking by striking with the stool or anything else. That prac- tice only puts the COW on her guard, and as one comes near her with the stool she uses natures defense and kicks.

EASY WITH GOOD TEACHER

 Automobile.

I've just been dying to meet you!" The girl in the new auto hailed her passing companion.
 Come, dear" she said, jump right in and I'll show you how to run it; then when yours comes you'll know" The other girl jumped in, delighted I'm so nervous and excited!" she exclaimed. Who taught you?"
 Charlie Smith. Really, it's dread fully easy. Don't be worried. Sit right in there and grasp the steering wheel firmly. Now! Are you ready?"
 "Yes-but will it jump?"
 Certainly not. Remember that I am here by your side. First you turn on your power. Yes, that little button. See that knobo"
 Well, just joggle it. Now put one foot right thereon that pedal"

 And the other foot press down there-don't be afraid. It won't go off,"
 "Oh! it's beginning to go."
 Silly! That's only the-the thinga- magig! Now grasp the wheel firmly and press down on the pedal. No that's the wrong one. Dear me- Is 1t the right one or left2 You know. 1 can tell when I'm sitting there"

PROPER LOCATION FOR SlLO
Huge ReceptacIes Should Be Placed as Near Animals to Be Fed as Pos
 sible to Save Labor.

Silos should be located close to the animals to be fed from them, accord ing to the Oregon agricultural college plans.
 They should not be inside the barn since they take up a good del of room and may give off offensive odors that will taint the milk
 They would also be inconvenient to fill, and silos should be where they may most readily be refilled
 It requires about quarter of ton Of ensilage daily to feed twelve COWS each forty pounds day, so that the silage should not have to be moved any farther than is necessary.

Concentrated Cider

Two new products of surplus and cu!l apples are described in the last annual report of the United States bu- reau of chemistry. In manufacturing concentrated cider the apple juice is frozen solid and the block of ice is crushed and placed in a centrifugal machine which removes the concen- trated cider leaving the ice behind. The product, when diluted with water, has practically the flavor and qualities of the original apple juice The con- centrated cider ferments very slowly at refrigerator temperatures, but at room temperatures ferments in a few weeks. It is, of course much cheaper to transport than ordinary cider. Ci- der sirup is made by clarifying and boiling down apple juice, and it is said to be of value for table use.

CONSTRUCTION OF PIT slL0S
Builders Must Be Careful About Plas. tering-Good Sand Is of Ut-
 most importance.

Builders of pit silos should be care full about the cement plastering Make the plaster of one part good sand and 212 parts Portland cement, in two coats, each about three-Quarters of an inch thick.
 Let the first set slightly before put ting on the second. Keep it wet for a week. If the earth walls are dry to plaster on, wet them before plastering. Keep the plaster shaded for several days.

as Tylor and other famous foreigners.
 Know Little of These People.
 With all this study accomplished, one has however to be at Zuni only a lew days before being aware that our knowledge of the life of the people is very incomplete; in fact that in many respects the ground has scarcely been scratched. Mrs. Stevenson for in stance has published a quarto volume four inches thick on the ceremonies and religious system of the Zuni, yet any tourist in week can see rituals enacted with full pomp to which she barely alludes. It is not that the studies that have been made are in their nature superficial In fact many of the published accounts are inten- sive in their detail. It is the Zuni life of culture that for all it's aborigin- allty, is so intricately complex that no volume however thick could hold all that is to be said about any one of it's several phases. No one knows ex- actly, but there must be nearly two hundred gods and mythological char | acters that are impersonated by dis tlnct1vely masked and costumed danc- CTS. There is not a month, and at certain seasons not week, without a public dance in the town, and at no time day without some sort of re- ligious ritual.
 The family life of the Zuni is lived precisely as if no white man had yet set foot on American soil. Ire peo- pie are divided into sixteen clans each named after an animal or plant. De- scent in these clans is not from the father as we inherit our names and as titles and royal succession descend in Europe, but from the mother A Zuni is of his mothers clan but he recognizes his relationship to his fa- thers people by calling himself the child of his fathers clan.
 Along with taking precedence over the men in carrying the group names, the women own the houses. A man may, by the labor of his own hands, erect new house for his wife, from quarrying the rock to laying the roof, while she does nothing more than plas- ter the walls; yet let a divorce and separation take place, and the prop erty unquestioningly belongs to her. The Zuni are as homogeneous a peo- pie as we. They look with repugnance not only upon polygamy, but also upon subsequent marriage with a former wife's sister or relative. At the same time, divorce is easy Persons have only to separate. A man tired of his wife leaves her. For woman the procedure is not quite so simple ow- ing to her property right in the house; but at that. she need only nag and abuse her husband until he takes his little bundle of clothes and returns to his natal home. If misplaced affec- | tion or stubbornness prevent him from taking the hint, she can have recourse to the more drastic method of simply installing his chosen successor, in which case nothing remains for the deposed husband but to leave quietly It would certainly seem as if the Zuni had long ago achieved for themselves some of the most radical portions of even the ultra-feministic program.

 Corn for fat and pasture for pork" said farmer. He meant that the pas ture furnished exercise in gathering the green, succulent feed and by keep ing the hogs healthy and vigorous, it put them in the best condition to make good gains from their grain feed.
 It pays to feed grain on pasture, for pasture alone will do little more than keep up a pigs weight. A light to medium grain ration is usually most profitable. About two or three pounds of grain day is a good ration for shotes weighing eighty to one hundred pounds. if you have scales, weigh your pigs occasionally and feed about three pounds of grain daily for each 100 pounds live weight of hogs.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-04-21

Good rations for summer feeding are easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa or rape pasture, feed corn and little skim milk. On bluegrass or timothy pasture feed three pounds of skim milk to each two pounds of corn More milk would do no harm. If skim milk is not at hand it will pay to feed oil meal or tankage with the corn, where blue grass or timothy pasture is used about one part tankage to II parts corn, or one part oil meal to seven parts corn.
 Give your hogs good pasture all sum. mer
 Give them change of pasture ire quently.
 Feed liberal grain ration.
 Keep good, clean water accessible.
 Provide sunshades or wet wallows.

 Anti-hog-cholera serum, unlike virus, does not multiply or increase in the body nor does it cause a general disease. Its elimination is very rapid i'll the average case it is entirely elim- mated in about six weeks. From purely scientific standpoint, therefore, the meat of hog, so treated, could be eaten any time, provided it was healthy when the serum was administered and showed no symptoms or indication of increased temperature at the time of slaughter.
 However, the injection of serum into
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-04-21

the tissues causes them to become discolored and, in some instances, es- pecially if the serum is not pure, may lead to abcess formation. For these reasons it is customary to wait, in the average case, two weeks before allow. ing the hog treated with serum alone to be killed for human food. In this time usually little or no trace of the serum or it's local effect upon the tis- sues is found at the point of injection.
 A ruling of the United States de- partment of agriculture provides that two weeks must elapse between the injection of the serum and the killing of the hog for food

COTTON REACHES
 NEW HIGH POINT IS BRINGING I6.25 HERE Highest Prices Since Reconstruction Days Being Paid for Staple
 Seed $45.50 Per Ton.

A further advance in the price of cotton today carried the value of the staple to the highest point since the days following the civil war. Decem- Der New York futures closed at 17.14 cents a pound, and advance of 49 points over Tuesdays close. Fifteen points of the gain were scored in the last few minutes of trading, the mar ket closing strong.
 Spots, however, did not follow the rise in futures, advancing only 10 points in New York. The local market was 10 to 15 points higher, practically all cotton late this after noon bringing 16 IA cents, while earlier in the day the local prices ranged from 16 1-16 to 1920.
 Whether it is that the farmers are beginning to hold for still higher prices or the crop movement is be- ginning to slacken up from the fact that gathering is nearing the end, receipts at Conway have been notice ably smaller this week than last. The broadening of this citys trade territory, however, continues and every day witnesses cotton brought here from distances of 60 to 75 miles in all directions.
 The focal cottonseed market is still nervous and active. This afternoon $45 per ton was given as the ruling price, four of the eight local buyers being in the market at that figure, while the others were held to a S43 limit. A few loads sold here this afternoon at $45.50 per ton.

10 SELL NO MORE
 GASOLINE SUNDAY MAYOR DAWSON STATES
Although He Declares Law Does Not Prohibit it, Mayor Will Quit
 Closing Order Stands.

Although he declares that there is no law prohibiting the sale of gaso- line on Sunday and he has been so advised by a legal authority, Mayor J. c. Dawson, who operates whole sale and retail oil and gasoline busi- ness here, announced today that he will no longer sell gasoline to GUS toners on Sunday. His announce ment, which was handed to the Log Cabin Democrat for publication to- day, is as follows:
 While my attorney advises me the present law does not apply to gas oline filling stations, 1 believe it the best interest of the town to close them now, and hereafter my stations will be closed on Sunday, and ask you to please see your car is filled on Saturday. Free air and water will be so you can get them if need ed. (Signed) J. c. Dawson"
 The mayor was asked if he had any further announcement to make regarding the Sunday closing mat ters, about which there has been con- siderable discussion during the past few days, and he said he had nothing to add to the statement he had given out. There will be no change in the order already made against the sale

DONACHfY NOT
 TO BE CANDIDATE KIRBY SEEMS FAYORITF Believed that Governor Will Make Appointment of Senator and Call
 Special Election.

Former Governor George w. Dona- ghey will not be a candidate to sue ceed the late Senator James P. Clarke, he stated in Little Rock yesterday afternoon. Governor Donaghey has been frequently mentioned as a prob ability for the place, but he said that he would not under any circumstances be candidate. He had previously announced that he will be in the race to succeed Senator Joe T. Robinson and the unexpected death of Senator Clarke, creating vacancy earlier than the expiration of Senator Rob- inson's term, has not altered the plans of the former Conway man.
 All reports from the capital city in- dicate that Judge w. F. Kirby will be the most probable choice, whether the vacancy is filled by appointment or by election.
 Probability that Governor Hays will name temporary successor to the late Senator James P. Clarke, in spite of the opinion of many legal au- thorities that such an action would be illegal, and that at the same time the governor will order a special elec- ton to select a senator to fill the re- mainder of Senator Clarke's unex- pired term, became known yesterday Several announced and probable can fn ol II are mentioned.
 The most surprising announcement was that of Congressman T. H. Car away of the First district that he will seek the office if an election is called. It was learned that Smead Powell of Camden will be candidate if an election is called. Former Con- gressman Stephen Brundidge of Scar ey declined to discuss his intentions over long-distance telephone. He said the matter is in too uncertain a state to warrant any statement. It is known that Associate Justice w. F. Kirby of the supreme court will be candidate. Former Congressman c. c. Reid probably will be candidate.
 The fact that the governor will probably make an appointment be- came known from remarks of several of his friends yesterday afternoon. It IS said that while the governor made no positive statement of his inten- tions, he indicated that he will ap- point some one within few days, and that at the time he will order special election, to be held, probably early in January. This would give time for primary proceeding the election. There were many guesses as to who will receive the appoint ment. Late yesterday the governor conferred with Judge Eugene Rolfe of Forrest City, F. F. Kitchens of Hele- na and other eastern Arkansas poli- ticians, who are said to favor Judge Kirby.
