Hogs are frequently troubled with
number of ailments more or less Sc
rious which, particularly in seasons of
cholera outbreaks, go unnoticed or pos
sibly are diagnosed as cholera itself.
One ailment very prevalent in late
spring and summer, especially in pigs,
is necrobacillosis. While this disease
assumes various forms the one COM
monty noted in herds are necrotic
rhinitis, condition generally known
as "sniffles.'' and necrotic entritis.
The pigs affected by the first-named
disease eat but little and sneeze re-
peatedly, often expelling a bloody ma
terial. Lessons are sharply defined by
humps or swellings occurring on some
parts of the head or face, usually on
the snout. Most effective treatment
can be made when these first appear
They should be opened and the pus
which they contain removed, and one
of the following remedies applied in
the opening with a syringe: Glycerln
10 parts and carbolic acid / part, or
nitric acid part and water parts,
or so per cent solution of iodin.
Cholera Symptoms.
In the second form mentioned, ne
crotic entritis. the animals affected de-
velopf symptoms somewhat akin to hog
cholera. Often there is a, lack of APP
petite, and while diarrhea is not con-
slant, it is frequently noticed in the
early development of this form. The
pigs become unthrifty, emaciated, and
weak. However, the absence of red
spots on the bellies and the normal or
at times subnormal temperature Of the
animals differentiate the ailment from
cholera.
In this form, as in the first, remedy
| must be used before the disease has
progressed. Feed and so-called stock
food and tonics that may contain irri-
tating ingredients should be avoided
green pastures being preferable if
available. A physic of oil, such as lin
seed or castor oil, to clean out the
bowels, is recommended. Intestinal an
| tiseptics are in order. The following
has been used and found beneficial

TIME TO IMPROVE PASTURES
Clean Up by Cutting OFF Brush, Briars
and Weeds -Reseeding Bare
Spots Is Favored.

prepared by the United. States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Spring is the desirable time of year
for the improvement of pastures.
Large areas of permanent pasture
would respond to proper methods Of
Improvement which might include the
following:
Keep the pastures clean by cutting
off brush, briars and weeds. Large
stumps, stones and dead trees should
also be removed.
Those areas used for pasture that
would permit narrowing and disking
at the time of reseeding, applying
lime, fertilizers and manure etc, may
be greatly benefited. In some sections
terracing may be practiced with satis-
factory results.
The application Of lime, acid phos-
plate and manure can always be re-
lied upon in most sections as a means
of adding the necessary increased fer
tility.
Reseeding, particularly in bare
spots, is to be recommended. White
and Japan clover, bermuda, herds
grass, carpet grass and blue grass in
favored sections are commonly used.
AS rule reseeded pastures should be
lightly grazed the first year. At all
times it is advisable to keep the cattle
off the grass in the spring until well

1t is often desirable In pasturing
hogs to fence off a portion of field
temporarily. About the best temporary
hog fence is made of 32-inch or So
inch woven wire stretched and tackled
to stakes driven in the ground. Well
fed hogs are easily kept in place, but
underfed ones Will require more sub

VELVET BEANS FOR POULTRY
Not Relished by Fowls Unless Fed in

Velvet beans. although one of the
very best grains for poultry, are not
relished by them unless fed in other
mixtures, preferably ground and then
mixed with bran and shorts, using
about 20 per cent of the velvet beans
in this mixture. This may be fed as
dry mash or in wet mash, which
ever plan is preferred.

FEED GRAIN TO YOUNG CALF
when Changed From Whole to
SKINNED Milk Little Grain Should
Be Put In Youngsters Mouth.

When the calf is changed from
whole milk to skim milk, it will be-
gin to eat grain. Place little
grain in its mouth after each feeding
of milk. 1t will soon learn to eat the
grain without assistance. The grain
should not be fed with the milk. The
calf should be allowed to masticate
the grain.

A voucher for $120 was re- ceived this week by the City Park Commissioners, reading as follows, Contributed to the Brinkley Park Fund in payment of splendid dinner served the members of the Little Rock Trade Excursion by Brinkley Business men,"
 The money, sent thro' Agent Whitehurst, was placed to the credit of the Park Fund, w. IL. Coln, Chairman, and another contribution of S10 from the Rozell Show handed in thro' Alderman Tim Shults was plac- ed to the credit of the same fund.
 The Little Rock business men came to Brinkley a few weeks ago on a trade eXcurSlOn ana a sumptuous dinner prepared by the Woman'S Bible Club of the Presbyterian Church was given them by Brinkley business men, and this dinner hit the spot evidently, hence the donation as above.
 Surely there is not a public cause more worthy of help than the Park Fund, for there is nothing that has done SO much to help Brinkley and attract the favorable comment and otten- tion of the thousands Of people who pass thro' Brinkley each week, as does the plaza.

 Reins, France My Dear Mother:
 l spent yesterday in going over the battlefields of Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods. It is wonderful to see the places where our boys fought and gained under such extraordi- nary difficulties. A French Lieut.. Colonel, who was as- signed to an American Unit, and fought with them there said: Do you compree hell?" and when I answered yes, he said: Americans worse than he'll"
 1 went out to where the base of one of the big Bertha's was. It is an enormous piece of mechanism but was never used. It is just fifty-two miles from Paris, and is twenty-two miles closer than the one that was in action and did the dam age to Paris, which was cap tured.
 Reims has nineteen hun sand buildings and only four teen of them were left undam- aged by the Huns, but I have been unable to find any of these fourteen solar and can't find anyone who has seen them. The place is in complete ruins. No matter what is said it is hard to eXagerate in regard to the condition of things. I went to the famous battlefields and to the ruins of Fort Pompel this afternoon. There are lots of signs of the BOSh. 1 found one dead German Cor rather the remains of one) You could easily tell by his uniform that he was Bosh. I tore one of his boots off and picked up the bones of his feet, and a Red Cross Nurse, who was with me, got one of the bones of the spine, for a souvenir. 1 got a French 75 shell and a German helmet and a German officers canteen, so have sent them home. Hope you get them o. K. These I got right off the battle field, so 1 know they are the real article. The helmet has several rifle or machine gun bullet holes in it, so guess the hun that wore it got what was coming to him. If two million others had just got the same there wouldn't be so much wrangling over the peace terms
 I don't think it possible that anyone who goes over this part of France can even think of being more lenient on the Germans.
 We'll, I go to Soissons tomor- row and then on to Verdon and will then go on to Brussels Belgium. I hope to get to go on into Germany before my re- turn.
 Will write more later. Give my regards to all my friends and love to all the folks.
