PREPARING LIVE STOCK FOR
THE PARISH FAIR.

(By Felix Bachemin, Jr.
Cattle.
In selecting individuals o repre-
sent their breed, one must be in
thorough knowledge of the markings
and characteristics of the breed the
exhibitor will enter, and should
keep this point in mind first.
The animal must be pushed, for
extremely heavy feeding will cause
the animal, especially the younger
ones, to put on flesh readily, how
ever, avoid fattening in patches, as
this is the first fault the judges usu-
ally like to find. Grass is the nat
ural food Of the cow. Give the show
herd plenty Of grass at all times,
for there Is no better tonic and con-
ditioner, and the exercise the animal
gets in the pasture is very necessary
to it's welfare. In feeding grain, oats
is without an equal. Ground oats
is always relished more by cattle.
Corn i a good feed, but care must
be exercised not to cause heating.
Cotton-seed meal must be fed with
care and precaution, may be fed reg
ularly to older stock, but about twice
week to young stock and bulls.
Meal gives a luster to the hair AMI
makes the skin sSft and pliable.
Plenty of drinking water must be
accessible at all times and salt and
mineral matter eshoudl also be be-
fore them.
The animal should be groomed, or
brushed and curried at least twice
daily for two weeks before the fair,
to encourage the secretion of the
skin, and give the skin and hair the
luster and softness needed to show
the animal off. The horns, and head
and tail and feet and fetlock should
be trimmed, while the hoofs and
horns should be oiled and polished
to give a smooth appearance.
Swine.
The size of the hog for Its age, !f
not overfat, its shape, trueness to
type of it's breed and the size and
strength Of its bones and quality OF
meat shown are some Of the main
points that determine the best hog.
Washing your pig or hog once or
twice week for a month will give
it smooth, glossy appearance that
is very desirable, and to aid this they
should be brushed clean then rubbei
over with some oily preparation,
crude oil, diluted, seems to answer
the purpose best. Hoofs should be
trimmed and all broken or rough
ends trimmed down smoothly. This
will not only help the looks but will
enable them to stand straight on
their feet.

SAVING THE PEANUT CROP
BY RIGHT METHODS

The peanut crop is very large one
this year, and while prices at present
are running somewhat low. we expect
a considerable increase later on, and
to that end would suggest that our far
mers adopt the best means possible
to save the crop at harvesting time
1t is not believed there has been
found any better method of saving and
curing the crop than stacking around
the pole. and it is advised that all
peanut growers adopt this method.
But to make their efforts successful
certain means should be adopted. says
C. X. McQuarrie, Florida state ex-
tension agent. and one of the most i'm
potrant is to make sure the poles are
not too long. A 10 foot pole set in the
ground = feet deep will give an S-foot
stack. which is1arge enough.
Special attention should be given to
the cross pieces at the bottom. BY
mailing them high enough above the
ground free circulation of air can
pass upward through the stack along
the pole while the crop is curing.
In digging, several methods will be
employed some will pillow them UP
while others will use potato diggers,
others will use sharpened sweeps. But
whatever method is adopted, the vines
should not be allowed to lie too long
in the sun. If digging is begun in the
early morning it should be stopped
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. BY
this time most of the vines will be
wilted. and this is the best time to
stack.
As the crop cures ii will naturally
shrink. leaving quite IA good sized fun
mel around the pole and, if ventilation
is complete the crop will be preserved
and cured in most efficient manner
Therefore, we advise our farmers &c
see that the cross pieces are well placed
high enough to allow this ventilation
to be operated The Progressive
Farmer.

 In Near Future

William Lee arrived yesterday from Tip Top district, where he has been at work. He says the old Tip Top is to be unwatcred and work done to clean up the old workings to give engineers chance to examine the underground workings. This is quite a big job, as the old workings may be caved in to some extent.
 In the same district activity is in creasing on number of properties. Frank Morgan and Frank Wager have opened up on the old Museum property, and o. A. Ensign has closed a deal for the sale of his Foy group, which will begin operations in few days. The district is being investi- gated by a number of outside mining men.
 The Kay Copper company still continues development and the show ing improves. Determinations so far made indicate that a big mine has been cut into. Railroad facilities arc being discussed by a number oi people, and it is the general thought that 2 railroad is bound to come soon for this section of the country.

inent men and women in each county, irrespective of religious belief, it is felt that the success of the campaign is assured.
 The plan of campaign as mapped out last night by the committee con templated no large splash like the familiar drives" of war time, but aimed to raise the money in as pain less but effective a manner as pos sible. The quota of Prescott will probably be around $l000 to $500.
 Several subcommittee were named to remind various parts of the civic life what its duty to the Salvation Army is and will be in a strictly fi- nancial way. For instance, Joe Nor gan will approach Elks, Frank Brown will negotiate with Masons, Bill Poulson will accumulate some of the savings of Moose, Lyle Sharpnecl5 will see Knights of Pytllias and R. E. Morrison, Knights of Columbus.
 Similarly, other committees will see business men, members of the American Legion (which will give over $2OO). union labor, and indi- viduals. No one will be so badly taxed that it will amount to an attack.
 The slogan the soldier element will use in the drive is Dough for the Doughnuts."

there are about three million men as yet still outside of the membership roster. While the American Legion is big, yet it will not be of full growth until it includes the great majority of those who were in the service.
 Members of the Legion post in this city when approached were unable to state whether or not it is planned to make a special effort between the dates specified or not. It was learned, however, than an honor prize is to be given to the department making the greatest percentage of increase in membership during the time set for the drive

MONTEZUMA WELL ACTS AS THOUGH !. IT HAS A COLO
(From Saturdays DsiIvJ

Vim Back, when in from the Mon tczuma Well yesterday reported that there is seemingly some subterranean activity at the well these days. The water at a point just over the deep est part of the well has seemed to be swelling or rising, and instead of inc usual clear color 1t is slightly lnurky.
 It has been supposed by some tha. this we'll had no under current of any great depth, but Mir. Back feels that # must be of deep origin on accouns of this apparently muddy conditio which is somewhat whitish. much as if ashes had been thrown into the water.
 Mr. Back also stated that the prop osition to build d concrete apron over the creek crossing, mentioned some time ago. is still III the minds of the people of that section. and that it would cost about $500 to put it in and the citizens will subscribe halt if the county will do the work. He says this is what he calls fair proposition if the county has any money available at all for such q proposition.
