Bob Was Homesick.

Prof. f. NJ. Jones, teacher of agrf-
culture in the Greencastle Qnd.) high
school, has collie dog that is extra
ordinarily intelligent. Mr.. Jones
moved to Greencastle last fall from
MOoresville. The dog often becomes
homesick and shows it in as many
ways as possible except by telling 1t.
He understands everything said to him.
Recently the dog became homesick and
at bedtime Bob was missing. The
next morning relativesiat MOoresville
opened their door and in walked Bob.
He had gone overland to Mooresville
during the night. As he had gone TO
Greencastle in an auto, the wonder is
how he was able to find his way So
miles over a strange road to Moores-
vile.

PROPER HOUSING FOR SWINE
Important Factor in Increasing Pro-
duction to Meet Demands-Re-
duceS Feed Cost.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture.)
Serious decrease in hog marketings
during 1917 has brought forth de-
mand that farmers and pig-club men,
bers materially increase their swine
production to meet the needs for pork
and pork products. Proper housing
will be an important factor In such in.
creased production, as it will reduce
the amount of feed consumed and will
prevent losses from exposure, especial
ly with the early spring filters. In
some sections of the country the farm
ers build larger and more expensive
houses than are necessary, but in a
great many places too little attention
Is given to proper houses for swine.

Lprepared by the United States Depart
ment IF Agriculture.)
The livestock industry in the
Southern states is progressing: at a
rapid rate. Some of the things beef
cattle extension specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture are doing to encourage a COM
bination Of livestock production with
cotton growing are described in recent
reports from the field. As result of
their activities thousands of pure-bred
cattle are being shipped into every
Southern state and carloads of fat
stock are being sent to livestock mar
kets from farms where cotton for
merly was grown exclusively.
During a recent month the special
lists visited 154 farms in 113 counties
in the states of Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, and
Travelled 2,5S7 miles to give specific
instructions to farmers and to con-
fer with other extension workers on
beef production. They attended ten
meetings, held twelve demonstrations,
and through their efforts a total of
129 pure-bred bulls, 324 pure-bred
COWS, and 1906 grade cattle were
placed on farms in the different
states During the month also a gen.
eral conference was held at Memphis,
Tenn, which was attended by state
and federal representatives of the de-
partment of agriculture, directors of
state experiment stations and extern
sion workers, state agents, veterinar-
ians, and others interested in prOm0t-
ing more and better live stock i'll the
South.
Assist in Livestock Shows.
Among the many duties of the beef
cattle specialists is to assist with the
livestock work in connection with
livestock shows, and county and state
fairs. They assist breeders in max
ing selections of feeding animals for
shows, in arranging judging contests
and demonstrations, and in securing
better clasSiticatiOnS and premiums
for worthy exhibits, all of which has
been the means of arOusing interest
and making livestock exhibits a more
attractive feature at the fairs.
The beef-cattle specialists from Ar
kansas made an exhibit at the tri-
state fair held in Memphis in which
was shown the best methods of feed
ing and raising live stock. Improved
eattle-feeding sheds, feeding hunks
and silos were shown together with a
number of instructive placards giving
such information as suitable fattening
rations for 1,000-pound steers, and
wintering ratiOns for the breeding
herd. Farmers were urged to Gull
their breeding herds at this time of
she year and dispose of all inferior
animals. Arkansas farmers, particu
larly in the rice-growing sections
where there is abundant pasture ana
plenty of straw; have been good buy
ers of cattle from the drought area
in the Southwest.

TREND IS TOWARD
FEDERAL CONTROL
EVIDENCE OF THIS IN kENYON'S
RESOLUTION CONCERNING
WELFARE OF PEOPLE.
INVOLVES ADVANCE IDEAS
Business Man Who Has Been Working
In Washington Tells How Red Tape
Hampered-Dodging Plane for
Building Locations.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Westinghouse an evidence of the
trend toward government control,
which was given such an impetus by
our entry into the war, recent resolu-
rlon introduced by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa and adopted by the senate may
be cited. This resolution instructed
the committee on education and labor
to make numerous inquiries and rec
concentrations, which included a tri-
bGnal to settle difficulties between en-
plOyerS and wOrkmen; to further the
development of the United States en-
pioyment service; to prevent unem-
plOyment among workers; TO promote
better living conditions; possible ex-
tension Of the soldiers insurance law
against unemployment, old age etc. :;
tie feasibility of national minimum
wage law; and the extending of voca-
ti9nal training and education &c all
people disabled by injury or sickness.
The senate committee is already inves-
ugating this subject, and it may make
81 report favoring some, if not all, of
the ideas outlined in the resolution.
Ehere are great many public men
who believe it is the duty of the Unit
ed States to take into consideration all
these questions involving employment
ard the welfare of people who live by
labor. Of course there must be vast
amount of discussion of such subject
as this before it reaches any stage Of
ttrlality.

There are extensive areas in F1ar-
ida that are not now being used which
would Craze a large number of cattls,
the extension specialists say, though
the farmers are fast awakening to the
possibilities of the livestock industry.
1t is reported that the holdings of one
company alone would carry 10000
head if completely utilized.
Reports from Georgia say that pas
lures are good and feed is plentiful,
particularly velvet beans, and that I'M
doubtedly there will be a large num-
Der of cattle fed in that state this
year. The specialists are continually
being called upon to locate feeder cat
tie for farmers in both Georgia and
Florida, and several large shipments
have already been made from the
Southwest and other sections. 1t is
estimated that 100 carloads will be
brought into Georgia alone from Tex
as this fall.
Feeding demonstrations are being
arranged OH Il to 10 farms in differ
ent sections of Mississippi, and plans
have been made to conduct them
through the cooperation of county
and district agents. Special attention
will be given TO demonstrations in
pasturing velvet beans, and velvet
beans and corn.
Pure-Bred Stock in Demand.
Orders have been placed for more
than fifty carloads of breeding stoCk
to be shipped from the Southwest to
North Carolina and the total number
purchased will undoubtedly far ex-
coed this number. There is also
much interest in the purchasing OF
rure-bred bulls, and extension special
lists are planning to hold several con-
Signment sales in the state in an ef-
fort TO meet the demand. AS means
of further stimulating the beef-cattle
industry q campaign is being conduct
ed for the building of silos and i'm
proving the pastures in the state.
In South Carolina also the demand
for pure-bred stock as we'll as steers
tor fall and winter feeding, far eX-
ceeds the available supply. In mum
Der of localities committees of repre-
sentative farmers, accompanied by
specialists, have gone into other
states to purchase breeding stock. At
a recent disbursement sale of "a heal
of pure-bred cattle, 21 of the animals
remained in the state, the farmers be-
ing anxious to retain them to build
up their herds.
Arrangements were made by Ten
nessee stockmen with the Union
Stock Yards company in Nashville for
holding the annual sale of the Middle
Tennessee Breeders association at
the yards. The company provided
stall space for the cattle, sale ring,
and in other ways helped make the
sale a success. The farmers of the
state are much interested in pasture
improvement and the keeping of live
stock as means of meeting the Ia
Dor shortage.

Vigorous language is sometimes
used in the senate. Senator King of
Utah, for instance, in speaking about
Hog Island, remarked that there was
"a great deal Of vulgar robbery, steal
ing. thlevery, by men engaged in the
Hog Island enterprise" Whereupon
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi said
that "the language employed by Sen
ator King, when we consider the prov
ocation. is very moderate in character
izaticn of the subject" He went on tc
speak more on the same subject, and
said that the enterprise sis the most
shameful scheme to rob the public
treasury that has been entered into
since 1914" Naturally remarks like
this have brought back rejoinders
from those who are criticized, and a
naval officer connected with the Hog
Island project has not hesitated to
give the lie direct in denying these
assertions.

prohibition in the United Staes
there is still fight being made to prs.-
vent such ratification and the opin:ok
is expressed by some that if dry laws
can be seen in operation for a year
or two more it will suffice to prevent
the United States from going entirely
dry. There is an effort being made to
prevent action in legislatures this win
ter until the country has had an ex-
ample of being absolutely dry. which
will be the case under the law recent
~ passed and signed by President Will
son, which goes into effect July L.
1919.
There has been quite an object les
son for people in the national capital,
which is dry by legislation, but which
is rather wet by reason of the various
methods that have been adopted to OBJ
tain liquors. Since the District of Co
lumbia was made dry by legislation
we have become familiar with the
terms "bootlegger," "blind pig" "speak
easy" and similar expressions which
have always been used for the pur-
pose OF designating illegal traffic in
Intoxicating liquors. Perhaps there
will be an opportunity TO shut out
what is known as the bootlegging
process of bringing in liquor, and also
the large shipments by express which
are now permitted so long as those
who receive the liquor make affidavit
that it is for their personal use"
Senator Sheppard of Texas, who is the
author of most of the dry legislation
proposes TO apply the Reed bone-dry
Jaw TO the District. which would serve
as a good test as to whether the ma
tional capital can be made actually
dry.
