ONE HOG IN HEAVEN.
If Kansas Idea Is Correct, Polk Coun Y forker Lives in Porcine Paradise,

1T Kansas Idea Is Correct, Polk Coun-
 ty forker Lives in Porcine Paradise.
 Kansas famous agricultural author ity, Coburn, says that alfalfa is d hog's idea of heaven. If this is cor rect, D. M. Watkins has one porker in porcine paradise, for he has a real hog pasturing on real alfalfa, and in Mena, too. Attention was called to the happenings thru the porker's ina- nlllty 50 eat the alfalfa faster than It can grow. As D. M. puts it, the legume is getting away from the hog The combination of hog and heaven can be seen at present near the Wat kins home on Third street. Some years ago the hardware man planted a small plot of alfalfa, about 50x60 feet, as an experiment. His first planting resulting in failure, he tried again and succeeded in getting a good stand. It is now in it's third year Tho 1t has been pastured all winter. the alfalfa is growing vigorously this spring, and the hog in the lot. weigh ing about 200 pounds, eats all day long, but at that can't keep it down. The combination of hog and alfalfa is proving a source of wonderment to those who contend that this legume will not grow here and also to that other class that believe hog can't be raised without lots of corn.

DANGER POINTS FOR FRUIT.
Temperatures at Which Peach Buds
 Are Impaired.

At this time of year when the tenn perature gets dangerously near the freezing point, there is always uneasi- ness as to the safety of the fruit. Thru long period of observation, horticulturists have reached conclu- sions that are fairly accurate, depend ing, of course, on elevation and hu- midity, as to the temperature at which fruit is endangered. Accord ing to this record the danger point for peaches is as follows:
 Buds showing pink, 15 degrees.
 Buds almost open, 25 degrees.
 Buds just opened, 26 degrees.
 Petals falling off, 2s degrees.
 Petals off, 30 degrees.
 Shucks falling off, 32 degrees.
 The temperature on Wednesday night of last week went to 34, and at this stage in development of peach buds with the dry atmosphere the danger point was from 6 to 8 degrees lower

KING ALBERT WITH
 COUNCIL OF FOUR
Belgian Monarch Was Interested in Preparation and Territorial Aspira- tions of His Country-Hod Con-
 ferred With Wilson and House.

Paris, April fixing Albert of Bel gium appeared before the council of four today when it convened at II o'clock to discuss Belgian affairs. He was accompanied by Paul Hymans, the head of the Belgian peace delega- tion. It is understood that repara- tions and the territorial aspirations of Belgium were the subjects. The ab- sence of President Wilson from the meeting of the council did not affect the situation as King Albert yester- day had long conferences with both President Wilson and Colonel House on the case of Belgium.
 X The proposed limitation of German armament has at present for the Ger mans largely an academic interest as the dependable forces which the state and private enterprises have been able to raise by incessant advertising campaign and offers of good pay and bonuses to volunteers do not reach the lowest figure mentioned as to the size of the army to be allowed Ger many by the peace conference, ac- cording to the latest advices from German sources The Socialists, in addition, retain their old objections to militarism and are not enthusias- tic about even the proposed popular militia on the Swiss model.
 An exception to the general Social ist attitude, however, is furnished by the Socialist war minister, Gustave Noske, who has expressed the opin- ion that in case of an unfavorable peace which he anticipates, the army must as quickly as possible be brought to a state of the highest ef- ficiency for a new war.
 A beginning should be made, in the belief of Herr Noske, with the devel- opment of the militia and army side by side, with which should go eam- paign for the hardening and strength ening of the people by altering the school courses so as to give the com ing generation more time out of doors, and the encouragement of open air exercises and sports.

AN EXPERT EXIP| EER|lII OPINION pN|Nl|ONN
 ON TICK QUESTION
Dr. C. Ii. Noffsinger Endorses Dip ping for Eradication of Ticks Says Delays Will Make Work
 More Expensive.
From the Deoueen Bee.

From the DeQueen Bee.
 Dr. c. H. Noffsinger, the we'll known veterinarian, was asked this week by Bee representative for his opinion on tick eradication by the dip ping vat route
 Speaking from financial stand point" said the doctor, 1t would be better for me to have the ticks re- main. Last year I treated over 15O cattle for the tick fever and have al- ready treated two this year. But for the good of the cattle and the public generally, ticks should be abolished 2
 "Can they be abolished by dipping the cattle?"
 "Yes indeed. If all had dipped their cattle last year there would be no ticks this year. In lizard county. where l lived before coming to De- Queen, it took three years to get rid of the ticks. owned cattle there and was personally interested. There was more opposition to dipping there than there is here, but after we finally got rid of ticks everybody was glad that it had been done"
 "Does dipping injure the cattle ?D
 "That depends" said the doctor tiloughtfully. "If it is done right it does not hurt them any more than swimming across the river would The COW is an animal that is easily excited and does not like to depart from it's regular mode of living. If cattle are driven to the vat with a rush and hurrah, dipping may cause them to lose flesh or fail in giving milk But if they are handled gently it will not harm them at all, and when they are rid of the ticks they will i'm prove greatly"
 "How long do you think it will take to rid Sevier county of the cattle tick?"
 "That depends again." said the doc tor. "They can be gotten rid of this year if all stock owners will dip and
  work to that end. The longer it is put off the more expensive and the more trouble it will be. Those who oppose dipping are only delaying the work, however sincere they may be in their opinions as to its effectiveness. Sooner or later the entire country must be cleaned up, and nothing can be gained by putting it off,"
 Dr. Noffsinger is a graduate vet erinarian and his skill in his profes- sion is too well known in Sevier coun- ty to need comment from us. He is wholly disinterested except, as he says, to rid the county of ticks will result in financial loss to him, how ever, he considers the public welfare above his own personal interests. What he says should carry weight with thoughtful owners of stock who are not yet convinced that the ticks can be eradicated and that it will pay to eradicate them.
