olalm Device lie One That Every Hog
Raiser Should Have.

Arkansas farmers who are USING
the self feeder claim that 1t Ia a de-
Woe that every log raiser should have,
since 1t saves feed and labor and en-
ables the hog to best balance his own
ration and make the most rapid gains
ON given amount of feed.
This is just what the specialists
with the Agricultural Division Of the
University of Arkansas have been say
Ing at the farm meetings throughout
the state for some time past. They
have urged the use OF the self feeder.
because this device is so constructed
that the hog may choose his feed botn
as to kind and amount The self feed
er iiberates he feed only as fast as
the hog can consume it and conse.
quently eliminates waste and the
method is nearest to nature, because
1t allows the hog to select his own
feed as he does in the wild state.
However, the self feeder works well
only. Of course, when the right kind
of feed is put into the feeder, so that
the hog can choose what he wants.
He is sure to want what he needs.
Properly balanced rations are abso-
lutely necessary for the best results
in producing pork. Hogs must have
feed that will produce muscle, tat,
and bone. II the right kind of feeds
are put in the self feeder. the hog will
select them as he needs them. For
MUSCLE building, there must be such
feeds as meat, meal, peanut meal,
tankage, middlings. etc. For the pro-
duotion Of fats, corn, rice bran, rice
polish or similar feeds must be avail
able. For bone production and the
general health Of the hog some con-
diments such as limestone, charcoal,
wood ashes and salt should be kept
before him. These condiments should
be placed in separate containers, Just
as the different kinds OF feed are.
The self feeder can be constructed
easily and cheeply and soon pays for
Itself
Advantages Of the Self Feeder.
The self feeder has several advan-
tages which may be enumerated as
follows:
l. The self feeder saves labor. This
is an important feature. an 1t is almost
impossible to get sufficient labor for
the farm at this time.
2. The self feeder saves grain 1t
lessons the amount of feed to produce
a gain of one hundred pounds and
now that grain has advanced in price
this Is another item Of great import
auce.
8. The self feeder shortens the
time for preparing the hog for mar
ket. because the self fed hog fatteas
faster.
4. The self feeder allows the hog
to best balance his own ration It is
easily seen that in the end the self
feeder enables the farmer to make a
greater profit on hog raising than
without 1t.
Plans for self feeders can be seour-
ed by writing to the Extension Divi-
sion. University of Arkansas, Fayette-
vile.

Delegates Expected to Re-
sist Distribution Among Allies.

Paris, Dec. 18.-The American del
egates to the peace congress have re-
solved to advocate the sinking of the
surrendered enemy warships and re-
sist any proposition to distribute
them on the basis of naval losses.
This announcement is made by those
in close touch with the American
representatives, who, it is added, feel
that such a position would result in
avoiding contention and materially
support President Wilson's declara-
ton that the war was not based on
aggression or the acquisition of
property.
England through Sir Eric Ged-
DIES, first lord Of the admiralty, had
previously acquiesced in the Ameri-
can plan to destroy the captured or
surrendered warships, and, it is de-
clared, will continue to support the
United States, although it is expec-
ted that some of the lesser naval
powers will demand that the prizes
be distributed.

The big crowd that attended the
annual distribution of awards by

Among those whom awards were
made We're Curtis Meek young man

him to comply with the rules, the

unanimous vote directed the SIS be
