In the judging of Holstein bulls,
which began yesterday, the .Holsteins
were first in the ring and the Mt.
Hermon school from Massachusetts,
carried off the blue with a splendid
animal five years old, VS.. four COM
petitors in the class. All five animals
were splendid exhibits, and the judge
had close work before him to choose
rightly. In the next class, bulls two
years old, the Balsam Stock Farm of
Dixville Notch took first and the Mt.
Hermon school second, while on year
ling bulls Balsam Stock Farm took
first and third with Mt Hermon
school second At the same time
judging was going on in the Morgan
horse arena and on horses other than
Morgans or specified breed, in the
ring adjoining.
The United States has a recruiting
station on the grounds under the di-
Of Knnuy1fAv, nj
Sergt. w. A. Upham, from the main
recruiting station at Middlebury, and
recruits for the First Infantry or reg
ular army are received. The remain
der of the fish exhibit has arrived and
among the fish that excite wonder
are the Lake Champlain sturgeon, one
of six feet and six inches in length.
At first only one tractor had ap-
peared on the ground but Monday
two others put in an appearance, and
this implement which is now attract
ing the interest of the eastern farmer
as well as the western one, will I'M
doubtedly receive much of the pro-
gressive farmers inspection at the
fair. There are also milking ma
chimes, threshers, separators. carriers,
and other farming implements ga
lore.
The Odd Fellows and ]. R. Sargent
eating houses are again furnishing
good dinners to those who desire and
there are plenty of other refreshment
stands on the ground. There never
was a better cattle exhibit on the
ground, but at present it is impossi-
BILE to give any of the premiums as
the judging will continue throughout
the fair. In the poultry exhibit there
are as many varieties as usual but
not quite so large a number of birds
but the exhibit is a good one.

"There is no question about the

comments Mr.. Neale. 1.-THE farmers

SAVE YOUR FORAGE

Manhattan, Kansas, August 18TH
Mr.. Farmer II you fail to get . crop
of grain save your corn forage by
placing In silos or stacking and cover

al. This is the advice of professors
In the Kansas State Agricultural
college, who have been studying thu
situation.
MANY fields of corn In Kansas
have been seriously damaged by the
drouth," points out o. E. Reed,
professor of dairy husbandry. "The
corn that Is tasseled and about to
FIRE will make very little, n any,
grain this season. If this il cut for
fodder and shocked In the ordinary
way 1t is easily damaged BY fall and
winter rains. In fact, few showers
would render It almost worthless for
feed. The silage viii not have the

Entertainment Wednesday, Dec. 6

There are those who haye attended
some OF the rehearsals of the Cantat,
to be given under the direction Of Mrs
LEstelle Barclay for the benefit of the
Baptist Missionary Society, who say
that the value of the ticket is given ir
any one Of the special numbers to say
nothing Of the tuneful and snappy
choruses sung with the happy vigor OF
youth.
= Mrs. Barclay has q wonderful way
with children. her brightness and en-.
thusiasm is unbounded and the children
respond with such eager happy express
sions in the choruses that Joy seems
prevalent everywhere and really life
doesn't seem such a serious thing after
all. Besides. who could be gloomy
when Santa is expected.
There is a delightful little story
woven through the Cantata which
serves to teach the lesson of Bible lore
which is the true Christmas spirit ut
is more blessed to give than receive
in a manner far removed from the dull
and prosaic.
Another feature which adds to the
attractiveness of this Cantata is the
fact that the Santa Claus of this year
is unknown save to Mrs. Barclay, who
has secured the country round about
Macon for the type.
The little Misses Mauve Del and
Dorothy Madison of Brooksville are to
take part also and Miss Eleanor Jones
presides at the piano.
Tickets may be had at the Book
Store for Is cents and a full house ia
expected.
Special ushers will attend to the
seating of late arrivals and out.of-
town folks but it will be far better to
reserve seats.
No complimentary tickets will be
given since this is for the benefit of
the church. But those who fail to see
this production will miss the rarest
treat of the season is the opinion of
'one Who Attended a Rehearsal"

The Next Congress

So far as it can be judged al
present, in the next Congress
the Democrats will control the
Senate by an ample majority,
while the House will be made up
of PIT Republicans, 212 Demo-
Gratis and 6 Independents, Social
lists and Progressives.
The complexion of the Sixty
Fifth Congress is not of vital
Importance to the country or to
the Democrats. The greater
part of the Wilson program of
progressive legislation has al
ready been written on the
statute books of the nation.
Currency reform, rural credits,
the tariff schedules and the
Tariff Commission provision for
a greater navy and army and a
host of other advanced measures
are now the laws Of the land.
Some need amendment, notably

Pork Production

Due to the recent boom in pork
production more people are go
ing into the hog business than
ever before in the history of
Mississippi. This is accounted
for by several factors, the great
est doubtless being the splendid
work of the county agents in
securing a market for the small
breeder through cooperative
shipping. Since learning the
prices to be expected on the CEN
trail markets many men who
started out by shipping five or
ten hogs along with their neigh
bors shipments are now prepar-
ing to ship in carload lots. Other
factors in the growth of the hog
industry are the pig club work,
and the failure of the cotton
crop causing the farmer to raise
hogs as the next best cash crop.
For best results in hog raising
a rotation of pasture and forage
crops must be planted to furnish
grazing the year around, and it
IS essential that a good supply of
feed be assured before buying
breeding hogs. The boar, too,
should be the best available, this
point often being the factor that
determines success or failure in
pork production. Pigs sired by
a good boar will grow better in
the feed lot and bring a premium
on the market. And last but not
least, the most successful men
carefully outline plans, getting
the criticisms of experienced
men, and aohering to schedule
after having secured the best
information on the sub

ippi A. & M. College.

the Hay Army Law, and add.
tional supplemental Legislation
for their proper execution. But
the lines Of the policy of the ma.
ton for some years to come have
not only been laid down, but oc.
cupied and fortified. Even had
Hughes been elected President
with the Senate constituted as il
will be, our domestic policies and
laws would have remained prac.
tically unchangee, Only our
foreign course of conduct. where
the executive has a freer hand,
was likely to be reversed.
In addition, when one looks
over the roll-calls of the present
house and sees how many Re.
publicans voted with the MAORI
ty party on many Of the most
important bills, it seems not at
all improbable that all needed
affirmative legislation, especially
along the lines followed the last
three years, will succeed in pass
ing. Seventy-one Republicans
voted for the Adamson Eight
Hour Law, one Of the main is
sues in the campaign just closed;
many Of these were returned to
Congress. 1t is hardly believa-
BILE that they will indulge in
purely factious opposition to wise
Legislation.
1t is an entirely reasonable
view to take that in the present
condition Of federal legislation
the political alignment of the
next Congress is the best thing
for the country at large; the
Democrats cannot hope to get
through any factional or too rad
lcal legislation, while the Repub.
leans by their dominance in the
House may strongly influence
for good what measures do be-
come law. One may expect
from the Sixty-fifth Congress on
y conservative legislation nation
vide in its benefcence--- laws
which will deserve and receive
ne approval of the whole people.

Parent. Tsachsrs' AsSOolaHOn

On Tuesday afternoon Of this week,
the Parent Teachers Association Of
Macon held a very interesting meeting
with Mrs. Phelan Hunter, the new
President, presiding. Mrs. Hunter il
interested In the work and she asks fol-
the cooperation of all the parents and
friends Of the school. The first num-
Der On the program was a reading,
Little Orphan Annie" by Ruth Al
len.
Mrs. MurDhey's paper, "How Par
ents Can Assist in Getting Pupils to
Study at Home" was we'll worth
hearing. Among other things she en-
phasized the fact, that. If parents are
interested in the work of the children
and make it possible for them to study
at home, the children will be more in
terested in their school work.
Mrs. McMillin's song Gust a A.
w~earyin' For You," was enjoyed by
everyone present.
Mr.. McMil in, in his paper on Go
operation and the Problem of Disci-
pline" made it plain that discipline is
not merely a matter Of keeping order
in the school room. but is giving chill
dren training that will mean something
to them In their life after school. In
conclusion he gave hVe ways In which
the school and the home may CO.
operate: ~ BY teaching children to
know that the teacher is their friend;
(2) BY teaching them respect and ODE
to authority at home. at school.
and to the government; (3) By teach
ing them truth, honesty, etc.; (4) By
teaching them to take care Of things
Of destroying them; (5) BY
selecting companions and amusements
for the children.
The next meeting of the Association
will be held in January and the pro-
gram will be on some phase Of library
work. 1t is the wish Of the Associa-
ion that all people interested in school
work will be present.

Pre- servation of Our Rock Roads

Speaking of good roads, it is Of
the utmost Importance that imme.
date steps be taken towards pre-.
serving those good roads we al.
ready have. Rock roads without
a top dressing soon deteriorate
and disintegrate and later become
only a memory. In the preserva
ton OF good roads an ounce OF
