SWAT THE DOG AND BUY SHEEP.

section of the Southland where the houn dog ourshes
to the great economic detriment of the country:
For every dog kept loss of $3.50 must be pocketed
For every sheep kept profit $276O may
be pocketed every year.
At least, that is the way the proposition itemzed
on the blackboard of a mountain schoolhouse by farm
demonstration agent Kentucky And the figures were
convincing. There sheep the district at the
time the figures placed the blackboard. Some
body said there used to be sheep-a wether-"down
the mountain ways" but the dogs ate him.
A few weeks from the time the agent placed the fig

sheep Eleven dogs had killed Several other fam
lilies pestered by their small sons but still unwilling to
kill their dogs, were trying to give the brues away
Similar movements were started at other schools
Now in that district there boys who are members
OF the sheep club Among them they own nearly 1865
sheep BY the tax returns dog population appears
Rave increased Also agent says this is not true
Formerly there sentiment for enforcement of the
dog law he says but there very strong sentiment

in number of dogs there apparent increase be-

BALLAD OF ISLANDS.

IF many islands we have heard
/ Since first we entered in the race,
The Danish Indies kept us stirred
Until we bought them as a base.
But when we reach certain place
Our leaders seem to take a nap,
They make no mention of trace
Is st. elena the map?
Now from Columbia comes word
We have plan to rent a brace,
The acquisition is inferred
With defense to interlace.
Yet while we fit with nimble grace
There somehow seems to be gap
While other islands set the pace
Is st. Helena on the map?
And Prinkpo, although absurd
We deemed as worthy of chase
Our interest in all is spurred
Except one island off in space
Of old it counted as an ace
1t once was useful and mayhap
1t yet could vindicate the mace
Is ST. Helena on the map?
Chief, when you settle Wilhelms case
And punish for the bloody scrap,
The Yanks will ask you face to face:
rs st, Helena on the map?"

The farmers of the cotton producing states have in

How foolish it would be for them to sacrifice effort
and energy in waste of cotton production and at the
loss OF millions of dollars the same energy and
effort could be diverted into channels that would WELD

II the farmers of the cotton belt will cut down their
coton acreage and commensuratey increase their food
ana feed crops they receive more money for
small cotton than for large one and have the
returns from their other crops in addition
AS to the cotton on hand now, if the farmers will
simply stand pat for fair play and for fair prices they
will get both!
