Work Being Done By University of Ar kansas Experiment Station Worth
 Money to the Farmers.

The Experiment Station keeps grinding steadily the year round, turn out out products worth while to the fsSmer. The products are in the na- ture of facts tried and proven. They contain information that helps the farmer to avoid costly mistakes and to do better with the means at his command Thousands of inquiries from farmers are answered each month by the Experiment Station, while there are thousands upon thou sands of farmers who have no idea of the work of the station and it's value to them. If you are dissatisfied with the results obtained on your farm or need any information, write to your university for help today.
 Here are a few things mentioned, merely as samples of the work being done by the Experiment Station.
 Hog Cholera Experiments.
 Among number of experiments under way to learn more about hog cholera, one is to learn what hold it has upon sucking pigs. From expert ments thus far worked out it seems that 93 per cent of pigs from immune mothers are immune to hog cholera by exposure as long as they are suckling the mother When injected with hog cholera virus, that is, putting the dis ease into their blood. the per cent showing immunity was not quite as high as by exposure. There was also some variation in different filters, as certain filters showed a much higher immunity than others. It is worth while knowing that little pigs can be protected in this way, but must be made immune as soon as they are weaned.
 Soil Tests interesting.
 The Experiment Station has shown for years that the soils in many parts of the state are in need of lime. In a careful study of samples taken dur ing the past year. in Prairie, Pope and Washington counties, the upland soils were nearly all found to be acid. This condition can be corrected only by the use of lime. The most eeonom- ical form of lime to use is crushed limestone, at the rate of one or two tons per acre, applied on land that is to be seeded to clover or alfalfa The bottom land soils along the larger streams do not appear to be greatly in need of lime at the present time. The investigation is to be extended to all parts of the state as soon as

 Experiment With Seventy Varieties
 of Potatoes.
 An experiment with seventy varie- ties of potatoes has been under way for several years. The 1915 season was rather moist, and the past a rath- CT dry one. The size, shape, eyes and general appearance of the tubers have been studied Yields of marketable potatoes and eulls per acre, at differ ent dates during the season, have been secured. These yields at different pe- riods were secured to determine the advisability of digging at the regular time for early market or of waiting for further maturity. Market reports have been kept, to compare the prices at the different diggings.
 There are two striking things about our results so far:
 1. There are about twenty varie- ties outyielding the Bliss Triumph, the most popular commercial variety now being grown.
 2. About three-fourths of the high est yielders have been white potatoes. Of these varieties the best and most consistent yielder has been the Irish Cobbler.
 The experiment was carried on at Fayetteville and Van Buren this year, and it is to be continued another year, at least.
 seIf-Feeder for Rogs Proves Valuable
 Experiments with the self-feeder for hogs have shown that the self-feeder not only saves time and labor but also makes larger, cheaper gains at an early age, due to each animal balanc- ing and increasing it's daily ration ac- cording to it's individual requirements. The self-feeder is becoming very val uable and useful in pork production, especially in this day and age, when with the present high priced feeds cheaply as possible The self-feeder is adapted for sucking pigs and fat tening shoats. The cost of the feeder is small; every farmer with a small herd could afford to build one Cotton Variety Tests Give important
 Results.
 Cotton variety tests were made by the Experiment Station in 1916 at if teen different points in the state. The tests served many purposes. but two things are of much importance
 l. The value of the seed and lint produced by some varieties greatly exceeded that of other varieties.
 2. Such varieties as Dixie and Gov ington Toole were very much more re- sistant to wilt than the ordinary vari- eties. and therefore proved much more profitable on land infected with wilt
 The work of the Experiment Sta tion is for the benefit of the farmers of the state. Requests for informa. tion are always welcome.

She Cat the opera)-Don't you think Miss Screecher strains her voice wheE she sings?
 He-Perhaps but if she does, she uses mighty poor strainer.
 At short range an expert will keep can moving until his gun is empty, either by shooting through it or strik- ing the ground directly underneath it. If the nature of the ground is right this latter method makes the can jump in the air, the effect being quite spectacular. Bottles or cans thrown in the air are not particularly difficult to hit if thrown so as to make it as easy as possible for the shooter, and almost any fair shot can put two bullets through an old hat thrown in the air before 1t reaches the ground.
 In general the secret of hitting ob- jects thrown in the air is to aim the pistol underneath them and fire as the object is falling into the line of sight. One really good at this class of work will throw an object into the air, draw his pistol from the holster with the same hand with which he threw. and hit the object before it reaches the ground. There are few who have the speed to do this, how ever.-Outing.

.PRUSSIAN TREATY STATUS IN DOUBT
 AMONG OFFICIALS

Washington, Feb. 5.-The status of the Prussian-American treaty of 1928 is one of the first things President Wilson will have to decide as a result of breaking off relations with Ger many
 Originality negotiated and known as the treaty of 1799, all its terms 1928, when it expired by limitation. The United States considered the treaty obsolete and no American off E cial ever believed it's terms would be invoked until Germany suddenly took advantage of them when called upon to settle for sinking the American sail ing ship William P. Frye early in the war.
 Examination of the terms of the al- most forgotten convention shows that it contains provisions which, if per- mittedf to stand, might prevent the United Stataes from confiscating Ger man warbound ships in American harbors in case of war. It also con- tains the provision for the departure of nationals from either country men, tioned in today's Berlin dispatches How the United States would regard a proposal for a special republication of the treaty is not clear at this time ters that it might be more desirable to denounce the treaty than to give 1t new force.

STOCK MARKET
 STRONG; STEEL.

/ New York. Feb. 5-Developments over Sunday suggesting the extent of the precautions taken throughout the country brought the financial com munity to further realization of the grave conditions resulting from the break with Germany.
 The heads of big banks, banking houses and financial institutions gen. orally were early at their desks, many having been in frequent conference with their assistants since last Satur- day.
 The tone of the market at the opening was strong with gains of one to three and half points in Ameri- can Smelling, Lackawanna Steel, Utah Copper, Central Leather. Erie and Columbia Gas.
 ing gain of two points at 106 on sales of 2,500 shares. Bethlehem Steel, old stock. rose 5 points to 415, while the neW stock was off three points.
 American Can showed some heavi- ness with minor specialties.
 On the stock exchange the attend ance, despite the storm, was larger than any day since the memorable first day of August, 1914, when the exchange entered an enforced and prolonged period of suspension. Among the members on the floor to- day were many veterans who ordi- narily conduct their operations through junior brokers.

World of Finance

it discourages enterprise because it
 is unfair to the numerous establish
 ments which spent many profitless
 years to establish themselves in the
 hope of averaging up in later years.
 Further, an ercess profits tax is un-
 scientific because it Is clumsy and un-
 reliable. The most suitable system
 of taxation, the least felt and the least
 costly is the stamp tax, which can
 be easily applied in many directions and with the slightest inconvenience to all concerned. The most serious
 objection to the profits tax is it's un- stability, because in times of great prosperity like the present such reve- nue would be unduly swollen, tempt ing all sorts of official extravaganza;
 while in case of business depression
 it would produce much less revenue, and the loss and uncertainty would in-
 evitably embarrass the government, especially with such great and steady
 expenses as preparedness and other possibilities must involve. No form
 of taxation could be more unstable than the excess profits system, which makes it a defective method for a great government like the United States to depend upon. At the critf- cal moment it would be most likely to fail. Surely our legislators are wise enough not to pass such an unsound measure, which threatens to become law simply through lack of public protest.
 NAn uncertain and feverish stock market must be expected. Its tech. nical position has been much strength ened, however, by the present heavy liquidation; also by the previous peace leak" seni-panic iquidation; but the probability of severing diplo- matic relations with Germany and the possibility of war following are disturbing factors. To this country a war merely against submarines would not be so very serious in its conse- quences, as Germany is not likely to send her dreadnaughts here to meet the fate which Happened to the Span ish fleet a few years ago. In all prob ability peace will be hastened by our, entry. Naval activity, outside of pre- paredneSs, would continue some months before any extensive military could be depended upon. A large war loan and increased taxation would be. inevitable. The banking community, however, view the situa- tion with 'composure, confident in the wisdom and strength of our govern ments as we'll as in the resources and patriotism of the American people.
