with couple of engines slips quiet ly into the camp depot; the men with their outfits march quickly from their barracks by the shortest route. file silently aboard. aed .n a few minutes they are headed for their new destination. There is no cheering, no waving of flags and no music when you leave Camp Pike. The chances are they will never even see the union depot at Little Rock but will be sent direct out on the main line track, where they will have the right of way over all trains. So sudden do the moving orders come that often men whose wives are in Little Rock have no opportunity to notify them. And some of the men have heard the talk of moving so often they fail to recognize the real order when it comes along and are caught nap- ping so far as fareWells are con- cerned. Erwin Funk,

may be preferable this year. They are cheaper and more thrifty than the winter farroWed pigs, although they will not show as well this fall on account of their age.
 The Union County Pig club is rapidly growing to be one of the largest in the state. We expect to have a rousing good pig show this fall and over one hundred club members will compete for prizes. The pigs are all of first quality so tha, competition will be keen. All club members who now have their pigs should follow the feeding in- structions carefully in order to get the most growth and the cheapest gain. These two points will count 50 per cent toward winning the prize next fall.
 With the present interest and the good stock which is being brought in, this county will soon be known as a center for purebred and high grade market hogs.
