FARM NOTES

Housing and repairing the farm i'm
plements makes a pleasant and profit
able job for the winter days.
What few flies are about the house
now are sluggish and may be easily
killed. One killed now means many
less next summer.
Is that twenty-eight cent cotton un-
der the shed or is it lying out in the
weather where you left it two months
ago intending to move it tomorrow.
This 10 the month to harvest the pork
crop and it is well right now to guard
against . meat shortage next summer
by seeing to the proper killing and cur.
ing of our pork.
With the constant growth of the
dairy industry, there should be a CORE
spending increase in hog production.
There is nothing quite 80 good for put
ting the "curl" in the pigs tails as
skim milk.
A good stump puller can be bought
for fifty dollars. and by its use a field
can De put in shape to grow bigger
crops with less work. Why not COOP
rate with your neiEhbor and buy one
together. Mention it 10 him. He might
not think about it ii you don't.
December is a good month for re-.
claiming the waste, non-productive
spots about the farm. The quilted
areas and gall spots should be attended
to before the heavy spring rains. By
the r;e of few open ditchcs or some
tile Grains, the wet spo's that now re-
fuse to gfoH crops may be made the
best land on Inc place.
Have your boy get into the Pig or

The patrons of the schools Of this

very disagreeable day. Invitations
had been sent out to them to come and

lion, to BE with US at our next meeting
in January.
The noon hour came in due time and
lunch was spread. The homegrown"
dinners were strong evidence of the
prosperity now being enjoyed and of the
iruthfulness of the statement that we
can produce our food at home. Just
after lunch, Mrs. Tyndall, assisted by
Miss Emma Rogers, diractor of the
Home Science Department, gave sev-
eral demonstrations, showing how to
use wheat substitutes. This work was
done in the Model Home on the campus
Rev. E. Nash Broyles had been in
vited to address the community and
schools on the subject of ''The Present
War;" Beginning with the Colonial
wars, he traced our national history
through the Revolutionary war to the
admission of Mississippi into the Union.
This was very fitting and appropriate
on the Tooth birthday Of our great
State. Reference was made to the part
Mississippi has played in all our past
wars. With large map of Europe be-
fore US. we traced the developments of
the war as they were forcefully and
logically advanced. A plea for support
and cooperation was made, which did
not fall on deaf ears We are willing
to make the sacrifices; we are willing
to support the great commander-in-chief
Of our army and navy. Our desire is
for the successful prosecution of a war
for just causes.
A beautiful flag, donated by the stu

1t is yet too early to forecast even
to an approximate degree the effect of
the commerce commissions recon-
mendations, but the course of the
stock market following the publica-
ton of the report left no doubt of its
immediate significance.
Rails were little more than irrcgu-
lar turing the first half hour of the
session with a new low record for St.
Paul preferred at 6S. Early reports
from Washington were rather conflict
ing. but the first ntimation of the
proposed suspension of the Sherman
law resulted in a rebound in which
prices were carried 2 to almost 5
points above lowest levels. Industri
ais, and the entire war list, as well as
shippings, coppers and specialtics
shared in the advance. United States
steel, for example, rallied from its low
of S6A to s97s with corresponding
gains elsewhere. Decided strength
ruled at the very active close, total
sales aggrcgating $4,000 shares.
The news from Washington was es
recialy timely by reason of additional
Enfavorable statements of railway
earnings. Money rates were relatively
easy, but time funds were in smaller
supply.
Bonds were heavy for time. but
strengthened with the stock list. Lib

.chHcAeo MARKET
PRICES UPGRADE
Smallness of Receipts Scores
Another Advance in
Corn Trading.
PROVISIONS HIGHER
Decrease in Visible Supply
of Oats Gives Bulls the
Advantage.

Chicago. Dec. 5.-Cron advanced In
price today owing more or less to per-
sistent smallness of receipts, despite
announcements OF a better supply OF
railway cars. The market closed firm.
* to l cent net higher, with January,
1.21as and May, 1.191s to 1.19ss. oats
gained ia to Ia and provisions so
cents to 81.
Notwithstanding that Il slight ten
dency to sag was noticeable at the
outset in the corn market prospects OF
new price fixing legislation appeared
to have lost force as an element of de-
preston. Unfulfillment of hopes that
arrivals would materially increase and
that rural offerings would broaden out
led soon to a hardening of values and
there was a decided further display of
bullish sentiment after a rise in the
oats market to fresh high price records
for the season. The scarcity of corn
available for immediate delivery was
emphasized by an advance of to ~
cents begging quoted for new crop sup
plies.
Bulges in the price of oats resulted
chiefly from the fact that stocks here
were meager and receipts disappoint-
ing in volume, although current re-
ports told of improved freight facil-
tiles.
Buying attributed to packers hoisted
provisions to the maximum of the
days limit Offerings were scarce on
the way up. Hog receipts compared
unfavoraDiy with last years totals.
Days range:
