RAISE RAPE FOR PASTURAGE
Splendid Feed for Sheep and Hogs Good Use Can Be Made of the
 Temporary Fences.

Rape is splendid feed for sheep and hogs as we'll. It is usually pas, tured, but when the acreage is small and one wishes to get the most from the crop. it is cut and fed to the stock and then when 1t grows up again, is pastured
 Rape is generally broadcasted in the early spring on well prepared ground at the rate of five pounds of seed per acre. When the plants are about eight inches high turn the sheep into the field. Most pasturage can be ob- tained if temporary fences are used to allow only a part of the field to be pastured at e time.

PEACE, PROSPERITY,
 DEM0CRACY'S CRY
ISSUES FOR COMING CAMPAIGN ARE BEING OUTLINED BY Ex-
 GOVERNOR GLYNN.
PLATFORM IS CONSIDERED
National Administration Will Follow Largely Principles Advocated By Missouri Convention, With Ad-
 dition of Several Planks.

Washington.-Work of putting into words the issues on which the admin Btration plans to conduct the presi. dential campaign mas been begun in earnest. Former Governor Glynn of New York, who, as temporary chair man of the St. Louis convention, will deliver the keynote address, has tenta- lively prepared his speech, and it will be submitted to President Wilson shortly. The general outlines of the Democratic platform have also been agreed upon.
 It is understood the platform will follow the general lines of that adopt ed by the Missouri Democrats, al- though several blanks will be added. The Missouri platform was submitted to administration leaders before it's adoption.
 Peace and prosperity will be the main features of the Democratic plat form and also of MT. Glynn's address. The legislative record of the Wilson administration, particularly the cur rency bill, and claims that the admin istration has been of assistance to business and labor will also be in- cluded. The Monroe Doctrine, as ex- plained by the president in addresses, will be reiterated and stress laid on efforts of the government to foster trade and good relations with South and Central America.

GIVE BOAR GOOD ATTENTION
CT and Larger-keep Him Sep arated From the Sows.

It is not best to let the boar run with the rest of the herd. It is too common a practice to sell the boar when the season is over This is largely the cause of so many small filters and weakboned pigs. It is best to get good boar, and keep him for a few years, and as he natures his pigs will be stronger and filters larger.
 Have small yard of grass if possi- ble, hog-tight and away from the sows, so he will not be worried. A quarter of an acre will afford plenty of exer- else in the open air. When grass is not available, give him cut clover or any other good green feed that he will eat.
 Feed sparingly of fattening feeds, but give him feed that will keep him growing if he is not fully developed. Mill stun, skim milk, clover, alfalfa or anything that furnishes protein is advisable. At all times keep a supply of ashes, salt and charcoal where he can obtain it at will. It will do much toward keeping him in good health.

FRIENDS OF VARIOUS CANDi- DATES FOR UNITED STATES
 SENATORS VERY BUSY.
NORFLEET TO PRESENT BILL
East Arkansas Would Have Officia;s Elected By Plurality Instead of Majority and Will Propose 1t
 as Election Law Amendment.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 When the Democratic state conven- tion meets in Little Rock on May 31 but little work of a constructive nature will be left undone by the party lead CTS. The only important matter left to be settled is the chairmanship of the state central committee for the next two years. The friends of vari- ous candidates for United States sena- tor are busily engaged working in the interest of men favorable to their cause, and it is now believed that a man without any particular choice at the present time will be selected. Judge A. J. Walls, who is now round ing out his second term as chairman of the committee, is a brother-in-law of Senator Joe T. Robinson and a close personal and political friend of the senator The friends of Gov. Donaghey and Smead Powell, who have already announced their candi- dacy in opposition to Senator Robin retire as head of the party organiza- tion in favor of man who would be neutral as between the senatorial candidates. Jack Maloney, the pres ent secretary of the committee, could have been reelected without any op- the senatorial candidates, but on ac- count of his duties as chancery clerk and prospective incumbency of the circuit clerks office, found the duties of the secretaryship would interfere with his official work.
 MT. Norfieet says he will introduce a bill during the early part of the ses- sion, requiring candidates for state of, fees to receive majority of all the votes cast at the primaries, before being declared the nominee. It has been the custom and rule in the past to declare candidates nominated when they received a plurality of the votes. MT Norfieet's idea is to follow the rue laid down by Democratic organi' cations in Tennessee and Mississippi, becase, in his opinion, candidate for governor or any other state office should receive a majority vote of the Democrats before being declared the choice of the party. His measure will doubtless receive much support in the Legislature, as a number of represen. tatives and senators during the past three sessions gave the matter much consideration. The bill will be in the form of an amendment to the state primary election law.

county, Ohio, in Farm and Home. It meets these demands with but slight adjustments.
 The bridge serves as we'll to close up the rear end in confining an ami nal and by inserting in varied slots readily admits the use of different sizes of animals in breeding. The false floor which hangs upon hooks over the slats makes support for small animals in the crate and also is used as top in shipping. Hook and eye devices hold the top and rear bridges together in transportation.

 'I read to her every night" he said.

High-Priced Feeds Should be Avoided in Order to Keep Animals In

In the feeding of idle horses the high-priced feeds should be avoided in order to keep them in proper con. dition at the lowest cost. It has been found that idle horses do very well on winter feed consisting of all the hay, oat straw, cornstalks or sorghums they will consume, so that little grain Is necessary. likeness also permits of more thorough mastication of the feed, thus insuring proper digestion.
