WASTE IN HOLDING
HOGS FOR SHIPMENT

A loss Of live weight Of hogs
and waste Of feed result from the
rractive of purchasing local hogs
in small lots and holding them un-
til carload shipment is collected,
according to specialists of the U.
s. Bureau of Markets.. They
point out that at this and other
seasons when shipments are light,
1t often takes local buyers four
or five days to assemble enough
small lots for a carload. As ia
cilities for feed and watering are
inferior in small yards, the hogs
make no further gains on their
feed and often suffer actual loss
of live weight. Local, buyers,
therefore, would do well to speci-
~ q certain day for the delivery
Of lots from the various farms
and load and ship without hold
ing. Farmers also could club to-
gether to make up cooperative
carload shipments on regular
week days. thus saving the mar
gin lost in individual small lot
selling. IL. s. u. Press Bulletin.

The feature contest Of the day win

sity Of Louisiana-the Raxorbacks vs..
the Tigers. 1t will be the fifth strug-

Arkansas universities always put
strong gridiron teams on the field,
and the very greatest efforts are ex-
erted each year for the fight at
Shreveport This year one of the
warmest scraps football fans have
ever seen is anticipated, due to the
steadily increasing rivalry between
the two universities.

working on plans for games at the

Tho farmer If he only knew il

The farmer, if he only knew it,
is little nearer the kingdom OF
heaven than anyone on earth. He
is certain Of three square meals
a day and is the only man who
can fence himself in and live in
spite of the rest Of mankind. A
few cattle and sheep and fowl
provide him with food and cloth
ing, while his fields yield him
flour and source of revenue. So
generous are these provisions and
SO commons, that hardly one farm
er in ten makes any account Of
them, although the ordinary man
thinks he has done well when he
reaches the end of the year and
finds that he has a little more
than made ends meet.-Avoyelles

coming. The matter was outside
Of Mr.. Parker's jurisdiction, but
all sides insisted that he accept
the duty and he did not shirk the
responsibility. Letters were sent
out, other inquiries instituted, and
a mass of material gathered. This
is now being compiled for easier
analysis. and the delay may pre-
vent reaching a verdict before
November.
A report by E. P. Gueymard, a
member Of Mr.. Parker's agricul-
tural advisory committee, upon
abuses in the fish and oyster bus
mess, created quite a sensation. A
number Of similar Investigations
into other food supplies are be-
ing conducted, and in course of
time it is expected to organize and
stabilize all these industries so
that the producers will obtain
largest part of the returns and
be induced to produce more, and
that the consumer will have more
food to consume and have to pay
less for such food. Cooperation
can bring this about just as it can
and will win the war.

DOGS IN RECENT WARS.

The value of canine help on the
battlefield, particularly in connec-
ton with Red Cross work, has
come to be recognized in all coun-
tries. No fewer than six hundred
dogs took part in the Italian cam
paign in Tripoli, hundreds Of
wounded men who might other
wise have been left to their fate
being found by the animals and
duly rescued.
During the Russo-Japanese war
inc Russians employed hundreds
of trained collies i'm Manchuria,
with the result that numbers Of
founded men were discovered who
otherwise might have escaped the
vigilance of an overworked ambu-
lance corps.
In the Franco-German war,
both sides employed dogs with
great success. At the present
time all the great powers at war
place high value on the services
of dogs. Germany alone has
probably 10000 dogs modified on
her battle fronts, and the Allies
are training large numbers of
dogs for use in ambulance work,
sentinel and guard duty, the car
rying of dispatches and the trans
porting and covoying Of ammuni-
tom and light artillery.
It is in the search for and the
relief Of the wounded that use is
found for the highest type of dog
intellect, the animals being sue
cessfully trained not only to find
wounded men, but to indicate
their whereabouts to the ambu-
lance corps.-Our. Dumb Animals.
