MILK VALUABLE IN
RAISING POULTRY

Batesville. April IN. NJ. Ruther-
ford. well known farmer of this county,
went broke raising cotton. Now he
has abandoned cotton as n crop en-
tirely and is devoting all his attention
to dairying and poultry production.
His experience shows how well dairy
ing and poultry production fit together
on Arkansas farms.
Mr.. Rutherford sells milk and cream
to retail customers in this city. His
hens and chicks have all the skinned
milk they can drink every day in the
year. The first 1000 chicks that he
Matched by incubatOrs this spring now
are so old that they need no heat IN
the brooders. Seventy-fve per cent Of
the eggs that Mr.. Rutherford set in
his incubator this winter hatchcd and
out of 1000 chicks Matched from This
early setting he has lost only lG chick
ems. The usual hatch after the wealth
or becomes warm, is 80 per cent. A
lower percentage usually is hatched
when the eggs are laid in cold wealth.
cr Experienced brooder operators eX
pect to lose 80 per cent of all eggs
hatched.
The high hatchability of the eggs
produced by Mr. Rutherford's hens
and the unusual vitality of the chicks,
he attributes to the fact that the hens
that laid the eggs have had every day
all the skinned milk they would drink
since they were Matched and so have
he chicks from the eggs of these hens.
ThiS is the lowest death loss from 1000
uarly mcubator-hatched chicks on re-
cord
Mr.. Rutherford keeps high-laying
strain of single-combed Leghorns and
plans to have 1000 laying pullets be-
Gin work early next fall
He has built his hen houses on the
border of what once was n large cot
ton field ana the hens run on alfalfa
growing on this field.

We had two very fine services last
Sunday. All the seats were taken at
the morning service and a very fine
bunch Of young people attended the
evening service as guests of honor. But
the old people didn't do so well, and
for that reason the attendance wasn't
as large as that of the morning SER
vice Come again young people. Your
presence helps your friends and the
preacher.
We are planning two special services
for next Sunday. The morning service
will be n special for the aged people
but it doesn't mean that those who are
not old and the young people are to
take vacation or go fishing. We want
you there to help put this service over
in honor, and as a mark of apprecia-
tiOn of, our older friends.
Then Sunday evening we plan to
have n very special service, and l will
expect to see your pleasing counten-
ance in the congregation at that hour.
The subject at the IL O'clock service
will be, Light At Evening" and at
the evening hour, 'Freemasonry Tri-
umphant."
You are cordially invited to attend
both of these services at the Methodist
church next Sunday.

against the control OF opium pro.
duction-
From the British point, It IS an
internal matter. Just as the Irish
question was for SO many years
until the public opinion of America
and other countries entered the
forum. Undoubtedly some of the
strict nationalists in America will
agree with Great Britain that
domestic matters are domestic mat
ters. after all, and that the United
States would be the first to resent
the recommendations of an inter.
national conference that trade be-
tween America and its possession,
the Philippines. be subject to out.
side control.
Yet, there comes a time when
the mere regulation of external
commerce is not sufficient to stop
nt the source an evil that knows no
frontiers. And this has been the
argument OF Mr.. Porter for the
American delegation.
The opium bloc in the confer.
ence at Geneva consists of Great
Britain. France. Holland and Por.
tusal, while those sympathetic with
America include Japan, China,
Canada md the South American
countries.
II has been apparent from the
nrst that solution would not be by
a majority vote. Each sovereign
nation can withdraw from tho con.
ference and refuse TO be bound by
agreements. For many weeks the
United States has been the nggres.
sor and It has seemed as II forcing
of the American viewpoint would
simply break up the conferences and
compel tho opium countries to
withdraw. America bided Its time
instead and whom It was time for
tho agreement to be signed, with
drew. Tho other nations will UNI
questionably approve the COM
promise pact which has been draft
ed. America Is in sympathy with
all that It contains. but insists It
docs not 30 far enough. From Il
practical standpoint, tho oo-opera.
ton OF tho United stateH for what
the agreement does cover is assured
anyhow, whether or not signature
Is attached later, The important
fact ia that America let's tho whole
world know that the question of
opium control il still unsolved and
fixes the responsibility plainly upon
the nations which have consistently
blocked regulation.
An interesting thing also Is that
both Japan and China arc ss eager
as America TO have tho drug evil
stopped and that consideration of
colonial trade hy Il few countries
