LAND VALUES GROW RAPIDLY
Philadelphia Property Worth Ten Times More Than 1t Was Ac-
 qured for In '90s.

Real estate experts are authority for saying that the value of land just outside of Philadelphia has risen aS much in 20 years as the value of lane within the city limits.
 We shall only use one illustration. A J. Drexel gave approximately $2,5oG an acre for something more than Ire acres at Overbrook. That was in tht early '90s. Today the value is neal $25,000
 Every dollar there has grown to at least ten.
 In the central business section of Philadelphia increase in land values has also been tremendous during these two decades, but in other large DOT tions of the town property values have not kept up the same relative speed.
 From Frederick A. Richie it is learned that anthracite lands whicf his ancestor had purchased for $70t were held for one century and then sold not long ago for $225,000. Resem bles a war bride. eh, what?-Philadel- phia Public Ledger.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Possible Explanation of Why Some Business Enterprises Fail, While
 Others Succeed.

''It is an axiom that it is the little things that count, and I never had a better illustration of such logic than an incident in cigar store the other day" said an observing man.
 'I wanted to buy a box of cigars, but it was a busy time of day. The store was crowded and there weren't enough clerks to handle the rush. Gus toners were impatient and complain ing, but that did not help matters bit. for the clerks were hustling their best.
 ''When my turn came I asked for a box of cigars of certain brand. The clerk got them and started to wrap them up. AS I did not care to buy goods without looking them over, asked him to open the box. He did but lost the small brass tack that held down the cover, so when he closed the box he had to look for another tack.
 Finally he took a tack out of an- other full box of cigars, but bent 1t so that it could not be used. Then he looked for an empty box with a tack left in it, but there weren't any. Other customers impatiently watched, grum bling all the time At last the clerk had to open another box of cigars and take the tack from the box, and with it he nailed my box.
 Now, why didn't that store have extra Jacks on hand?"

PIG CLUB CONTEST
 FEBRUARY ] AND 8
Cash and Scholarships Are To Be Given as Prizes For Best Pig
 Club Members.

The State Boys Pig Club Show and Contest will be held at Little Rock Tn connection with the Livestock Meet ing and Sale on February ', and ,. Three hundred and fifty dollars fur- nished by the Swine Breeders Record Associations of the country will be given in cash prizes and the state Bankers Association offers a $l50.0o scholarship in any agricultural school in the state to the best pig club mem- Der. The points to be taken into con- sideration will be determined entirely by the judges. The bankers and bus mess men who have been financing the pig club members will assist number of worthy boys by furnishing the express charges on their pigs to Little Rock Mr H. K. Sanders. in charge of the pig club work of the state, says that the county agents are cooperating in every way to assure the success of the pig club contest and that at least 50 good pure bred pigs have already been pledged for the Little ROCK snow.
 Every boy who has a pure bred pig which he wishes to enter in the con- test should get in touch with his coun- ty agent as soon as possible so that there will be no difficulty or disap- pointments experienced by these young farmers at the last moment. Fathers are urged to write to Dr. R M Cow, secretary of the Arkansas Livestock Growers Association, who has promised to take care of all pigs after they reach Little Rock The force with the State Serum Plant have agreed to assist Dr Cow in bringing the pigs from the depot and in seeing that they are cared for dur ing the show. They have also agreed to vaccinate with serum alone any exhibited hogs that have not been im- munized from cholera. This leaves only the express charges from the county from which the pigs come to be paid by the owner or by the inter- ested bankers and business men.
 In speaking of the contest. Dr. Cow rays: "The first annual pig show and contest in Little Rock should be of interest and value to all of the farm CTS of the state. We want at least one good pure bred pig from each of the pure breeds represented in every county in the state on exhibit We will not limit a single individual to one entry and anyone who has more than one breed of pigs can enter pig for each breed of hogs owned.

Gull Out Did Hens and Increase Egg
 Production of Flock.

Experiments carried on at the Col lege of Agriculture, University of Ar kansas, under the direction Of Dean Martin Nelson show that farmers too often keep their old hens too long, and as result of this practice, the production of eggs decreases almost in proportion to the number of old birds retained. However, enough yearling or old hens should be kept to produce eggs for matching. Chicks matched from yearling or old hens are stronger and more vigorous than those matched from bullet eggs. Quite often the bullet eggs are infertile The small eggs produce small chicks, the size of the chick being almost in proportion to the size of the egs matched One should save about one third of the best yearling hens for breeding stock and dispose of them at the end of the second year. The trap nest is the best means of locating the good individuals.
