Activity in Agriculture.

J Hollister Tull, agriculturist for the Kansas City Southern railway, returned last Thursday from a trip over the northern territory of the road, having attended a series of community meetings in Benton county, Arkansas, and Mcdonald county Missouri. He reports that there are evidences of renewed ac- tivity along agricultural lines all thru the territory covered by the K. C.

Mir. and Mrs R. F. Putnam. whose home is on a ten-aere tract located just north of the Thacler school house. during the past year have kept an account of the receipts from the products of their little farm.

E. E. Giffen of DeQueen spent Friday in Mena to interview Ira O. Smith and other horsemen on the matter of bringing their horses to DeQueen during the training season. Mir.

sioners. This law has been complied
with in the past, the board annually
advertising for bids on the major pri-
son supplies and awarding contracts
for such supplies which were there
after requistioned by the warden, as
needed.
Owing to the instability OF markets
il became apparent that this proce
lure was not practicable this year and

own direct agent in the discharge OF
its duties in the matter.

By order of the county liquor board,
made yesterday afternoon, all the sa-

number, will be closed on January LIST

Also, new liquor licenses will be

The closing of Their ochester saloons
was declared to be a war measure in
the resolution and order passed by the
county liquor board, it being under
stood that it had come to the knowl-

REDUCE HOG CHOLERA.
Proper Methods Will Prevent Large
Loss-Work of County Agents Is
Effective.

Hog cholera killed enough animals
last year to have fed 100000 soldiers
meat ration for five and half
months. This loss is unnecessary.
for hog cholera can be prevented to
a large extent. as has been demon
strated by county agents working
through the United States Depart
nent OF Agriculture and State agri-
cultural colleges in the Northern and
Western States.
Hog-cholera prevention and control
arc possible through vaccination, dis
infection, and the quarantine OF in
fected herds. The local conditions
largely determine the methods of pro-
cedure by the agents, They work
with groups OF farmers. teaching them
how TO vaccinate their hogs, conhne
and quarantine their herds, and disin-
feet their premises. The most effec-
tive campaigns, perhaps, have follow

On every farm there should be
some economical way to furnish clean
water for hogs at all times. Sloppy
food does not answer for both food
and drink. Where slop is fed like a
thick mush, as il ought to be, the hogs
will seek drinking water between
feeds. If the slop is too watery Il
animals will in their endeaver to pick
out the solids, swallow more OF the
liquid than is good for their digestion.
If the animals are watched when
they are eating, it will be noticed that
they eat awhile and then run and take
a few swallows of water. after which
they go back to the feed. They will
go back and forth to a hog waterer
all day.
There is too much dependence put
on surface water for hogs and other
stock,too. Ponds, unless they are fed
by good springs, become stagnant,
and especially is this true in the sum-
mer time. OF course. such water is
bad. Water obtained in bitches and
other small streams is little, if any bet
ter. All such water sources are prolif
ic breeding places for the germs that
