NOEXCUsE
FOR RUNTS

To obtain the most rapid growth and
best development of live stock keep
good stock, and see that nothing
checks its growth from the time it is
born. This is the method by which
a North Dakota farmer prevents runts
among his animals.
In a letter on this subject to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which has been studying the
causes and prevention of understood
animals, he says, "In the 40 years of
my farming and breeding and raising
live stock of all kinds | do not re-
member runt in any class or breed.
/ have always been a liberal feeder
and caretaker. Besides, all stock had
access to good, fresh water at all
times. With this, in addition to good
shelter and ventilation, it seems that
my young stock would not stop grow
ing from the time they We're born.
Use good judgment in feeding. and
don't neglect the details"
farmer in Vermont writes, "a
WaA&bDed animal well cared for will
not produce runts. There is absolute
ly no excuse for one in live stock or
poultry. BY well-bred live stock 1
mean strong, healthy stock, well taken
care of for several generations, and
bred for constitution. This has been
my experience from bcyhood, first,
with rabbits and game fowls, and later
with sheep, hogs, horses and cattle.
An accident to wefl-bred and healthy
animal will, if the accident occurs be-
fore it reaches maturity, affect its
size but not its productive capacity.
That is, it will not influence its ability
TO produce such young as it would
have produced had no accident occur
red. Eliminate all females that are
not good mothers, and you will soon
stamp the whole herd with constitu-
ton. Then with good care, which
means attention and feed, your runts
will fail to materialize"

Jackson County Boy
Has Exciting Trip
(From Jackson County sentinel.)

Sam Pharris, who is stationed at
TT. Hughes, Caballe, p l., writes his
father, A. J. Pharris, Gainesboro, r.
z, the following interesting letter of
his trip to China and Japan.
We left the North Channel at sunset
on the u. S. A. T. Merrett and was
six days reaching China. Chefu was
our first stop. We went on shore
about eight o'clock and were met bv
two hundred Cinnamon with their lin
rlkIsha (the jinrikisha is a two-wheel-
ed vehicle with springs and hood.
drawn by native, and used by trav-
elers) and we had hard time getting
loose from one to get in with the
other one, but we finally got started.
after riding sometime we made our
hrst stop at the big temple, which is
located on a high elevation, overlook
ing the city. Our guide showed Ms
over the temple. It was a very
strange looking place and l didn't feel
very good when we first went in, there
De1ng so many cells and trap doors.
We soon left the temple and continued
our trip. We went out to the great
Chinese wall, but at this place the
wall is about torn down.
After a visit to the great wall we
returned to our old sea wogan and
continued on our journey Three DAYS
later we locked at Tintcin. We re
NAMED there short time and then
took the train for Pekin. We were
one day making the trip and had a
lot OF fun. We mad special cars at
the head of the train, and our COM
mander being on the rear coach gave
US a chance and believe me were sure
used it. We did not have any small
change IN money with us and there
beng no money exchange along the
road we were up against a hard prop
osIt1on, but we got by all right and
got what we wanted. We arrived at
Pekin about eight o'clock that night
and went to the Marine Barrack.
where we ate supper, just what we
We're all wanting. After supper we
called on the Major After he had
given US some excellent advice. Just
as our fathers would have done, we
started out to see what Pekin looked
like at night My pal and / went to
a vaudeville show and it was very
but | could not stand the
racket. After the show we went to /
restaurant where we ordered some
chow, which we tried to eat with choD
sticks, and think we carried the chop (
sticks off with US. This was a fourth !
class restaurant and having a desire to !
see first restaurant we asked a /
ChInanlan about one. He told us it +
wasn't far and getting into his cart
we rode until four O'Clock in the morn

c. I'll. S. SIX,
HUME-FOGG TWO

The Carthage High School baseball
team added another laurel to their
wreath of victories last Friday after
noon when they defeated the strong
team from Hume-Fogg High School
Of Nashville by the score of six to two
Hume-Fogg presented che of the
cleanest and classiest bunch of ball
players that has visited Carthage this
year and the teams were fairly we'll
matched. The game was close until
the Carthage boys found the slants
of the Hume-Fogg pitcher and ham
mered out six runs.
The features of the game were the
heavy hitting of Tom Massey and the
excellent fielding of Carl Smith for
the Carthage team. In four trips to
the bat Massey got a single and two
Triples, and Smith saved the game
in the eighth inning when he made a
beautiful running catch of a twisting
fy-ball that was good for home-run
and that at a time when Hume Fogg
had two on bases.
The Carthage lads are going good
and are winning games right along,
but there is one trouble and that is
there are not enough people attending
the games. Let us suggest that you
take little time for recreation and
go up on the hill and help the boys
win. Your presence will lend them
encouragement and your admittance
fee will help pay the expenses and
too, you will enjoy it. None but good
games are scheduled and it costs mon
ey to get them. So come out and lend
your aid and encouragement.
Next Saturday afternoon, April %,
Carthage will meet the strong T. P. /.
bunch from Cookeville. Be there and
help win.
