LOSE IN MISSOURI
WIN IN ARKANSAS

The PocahOntas iii Basketball team
invaded Missouri last week and the
"shOw me" boys sent them home sad
der but wiser. The first game was
played against PuxicO Friday night in
which our team was defeated, 1912
Saturday night the game was with
Poplar Bluff and circumstances forced
three Of our first string men out of the
game. Agee was out from injuries he
had received few days before. Car
roll was hurt early in the game and
had TO retire and Bowers was dis
qualified by personal fouls. That left
practically q second team. which had
little chance against the MissOurians
This game was lost by a score Of 21.3.
On Tuesday night of this week Wal
nut Ridge first and second teams came
over and lost two to our team. The
second team played first and Poca won,
20-13. The game betweenk the first
teams resulted In forfeiture by Wal
nut Ridge. This game had progressed
to the point where the visitors could
see a disastrous ending and there was
nothing they could do but forfeit or
lose in spOrtsmanlike manner. The
score was 10-7 for POcahontas when
the Walnut Ridge team began to
break to pieces. Smith. Poca center,
had just shot two fast field goals and
his little opponent (only head and a
half taller) just could not stand It,
80 then started the argument that re-
suited in the Walnut Ridge boys walk

puNtu SlitthS' iAt 'Nlihii'h AhV hiAi7
culties encountered by the public spirit
ed people of his town when they under
took their first paving projec, several
years ago. He followed events up to
the present time, when JOnesbOrO has
one Of the most complete systems of
pavements of any small city in the
safe. He stated very emphatically
that the people of his town would not
go back in the mud for twice the
amount they had spent on pavement
He stressed cooperation with the farm
ers, naming them as members of the
greatest profession on earth, and show
cd that by aiding the farmer in finding
market for his produce the citizens
of his town had brought hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to Craighead coun-
ty that had been going elsewhere.
There followed brief acknowledge
ment from Judge Lyman +. Reeder Of
Batesville, who expressed his pleasure
at being an hOnored guest at such a
meeting. He is very loyal to his home

was that wonderful man from our
nelghboring city, Walnut Ridge-that
slver.tongued orator with the most
amazing clarity of vision, Hon. Harry
Ponder. He carries a sketch of the
! Southland in the forefront Of his brain
and is ever ready to spread II out and
touch il up with his beautiful pictures
of it's future possibilities and coming
greatness. He dwelt on the adyan-
tages of better streets i'm both his town
and ours. He took crack mt the lit
| tie factions that spring up i'm every
town and pleaded for better cooper
alton between all citizens who have an
interest In the community. especially
between the business man and the
| farmer.
After being dismissed by the Rev.
Mr.. Gray aud lingering awhile in
friendly conversation. the crowd re-
tired until next meeting time.

member is looking forward to the meet
ings that are to come.

Silage Is Shown to Be
Superior as Stock Feed

The value of silage feeding Is shown
forcefully by recent data furnished by
the bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. IN
the winterng Of mature beef cows in
West Virginia, 1t has been shown that
corn fed as silage is worth go per cent
more than shock corn. In growing
beef calves in Illinois an acre OF corn
silore was found to be worth 30 per
cent more than an acre of shock corn.
This increased utility Is attributed
TO the many advantages of sllase.
Practically no waste occurs in the reed
ing of silage and it creates an appetite
for cheaper roughages. Then, too, the
same crops fed dry are not nearly SO
nalatable and succulent as they are IN
the form of sllage.
Information as to what crops make
good silage and on preparing and using
Them MS feed is contained in bulletins
which may be had free from the De-
nartment of Agriculture, washington

Successful Feeder Lives
With His Flock of Sheep

Last year the writer learned of
feeder who failed to give his sheep
the care necessary to make the most
out of the feed given to them. This
young man has knowledge Of the
theory of feeding. having at one time
taken course in it. While, accord
ing to report. other feeders around
him made profit his loss amounted
to $1,000.
Close attention is necessary. Regu-
lar cleaning Of the feed hunks, good
water and lots of it, clean bed, salt
and kind individual treatment are es
sentlals In feeding. The successful
feeder lives with his animals, watches
over them and is always ready to pro-
vide better feed and other favorable
conditions. No one can instruct him
exactly, he must learn the details by
doing and love for his animals is the
first requisite. Animals soon learn a
good caretaker. They enjoy to see him
come and as he moves among them
they take pleasure in his presence.
Feeding live stock is not all theory.
The practical is equally important and
the man who succeeds must think
about his animals and be always ready
to do what Is necessary.-R. w. Clark,

Relative Advantages of
Horse Power in Farming

The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently Investigated
the relative advantages of horse power
and motor power for farm operations
and reports numerous reasons for the
continued use of good draft horses.
Horse power Is characterized by It's
versatility and adaptability to perform
various farm operations. The horse
is not limited either by the topography
of the ground or specialized ability
to perform only few farm tasks
economically.
The horse is self-replacing. earns Its
keep, and increases in value up to
the marketable age. Mares enough
may be bred yearly to replace the
mature stock which is marketed. The
young horses raised under this plan
continually increase in value and at
the same time they are paying their
way by doing the farm work.
Keeping horses also helps to con-
serve the fertility of the soil and pro-
vides an element Of interest which
helps to keep the youngsters on the
farm. Then, too, there Is less direct
cash outlay for horse power, as horses
consume home grown feed chiefly.
Motor power, however, has ad-
vantages under certain conditions.
and in many cases the two forms of
power-horses and tractors-are botf
used.

FARM
ES''',EOCK
FEEDING FLOORS ARE
EASY TO CONSTRUCT

No farmer would deliberately bury
IN the ground feed intended for stock.
But many farmer lets the stock
do this. The old-fashiOned method of
feeding animals in the open. muddy
Darn lot really is only a way of let.
tins stock tramp from 10 to so per
cent of the feed into the ground.
ANY farmer who uses this method
knows how he has had to transfer the
green feed or grain from one place to
another as the stock have iramped
the feeding lot into n muddy area
where the feed is quickly ground into
the earth and wasted.
Concrete feeding floors such as
shown In the illustration eliminate
this waste.
thousands Of concrete feeding floors
nave been built by farmers through
out the country in the last few years.
Every one of them has paid for Its
cost in short time In the value Of
the feed saved.
one Of the advantages of the con-
crete feeding floor is Its simple con-
struction. A farmer will not need to
nave a contractor to do the Job for
him. With the aid Of his regular farm
help he can build 1t himself very
cheaply.
All he needs to do is level piece

Proper Methods Prevent
