CAIRO NEST OF OWLS
CELEBRATE.
1
Due to the fact that the. carn
ival is giving a big present to
the Cairo Fire Company and
they being a bit short of mu3!c,
the Cairo Concert Band has a-
greed to furnish music for thpm
on Thursday and Friday nights,
of course they will get pay for
the job and so long as they get
the money we .don’t care, the
only thing is, very likely some of
you people are going to say:
“Oh, they shouldn’t play for
carnival.” Now listen, brother,
have you given the band any
thing? I’ll just bet you haven’t*
now if you Mr. Kicker wonl’d
come on up with a little cash,
maybe they would not have for
carnivals to keep out of debt, so
if y6u “haint” helped any, don’t
kick. The Band is alright and
the carnival is alright and if you,
don’t believe it is, you just drop
in your overcoat either Thursday
or Friday night or both and go
and see.
Monday was a big day in Cai
ro for the Order Of Owls.
The twenty fifth' anniversary
of the Order of Owls was cele
brated by having a big dinner
at the City- Hall. • Addresses
were delivered by Rev- W. E
Tpwson,: Judge John R. Single
tary and Col. Lewis H.-- Foster
The addresses were as good as
hue pare? to. listen., to, .each, of
.the spokesmen were giyen , the.
most careful.. attentipn .durjpg
their speeches and .the crowd en
joyed every word th^t .was^. ut
terecL One seldom hears better
taiks than those that were given,
by these three gentlemen .
The dinner was’ one of the
biggest arid' nicest' ever served
in Cairo. Mr. A.'A.' Lang was
chairman'of the dinner commit
tee and he is Without doubt the
best yet. Everything that one
could wish for to eat was] served
and cooked good and was served
right. Negroes were employed
to wait on the tables and Mr,
Lang was right on hand to see
that it was done.
The nest of Owls are yet in
their infancy but the outlook
now is that they will in the near
future will be the strongest se

Miss Buck’s Quartette Mere
A few nights ago, the League
while in session put the question
before the members as to wheth
er or not they should appoint a
committee and raise the . money
and buy a piano for the league
room. It was voted unanimous
and a committee appointed to
raise the funds, also a committee
to buy the piano. The money
was soon raised and the piano
bought and now when you go
out to the league meetings you
can count on hearing some good
music on a nice new piano and a
good one too. The piano is an

Whatever feeds may he used tho
variety should be as great as possible;
and changes should be made at every
opportunity. Tho only object In rais
ing hogs Is the production of meat, '
and the more rapidly, a hog can bo
made to produce meat -the more profit*
able be becomes. Tbe man who makes
hog raising the most profitable 13 the
one who induces hlB hogs to eat the
most of the right kinds of food, and-
who never keeps them on any one
kind of grain or forage until their ap
petites become cloyed and they get
off their feed.” The greater the va-
rlety and the more frequent tho
changes the more will be eaten and
the more rapid will be the growth.
No matter what food may be used
or what the ago of the animals which'
consume It a great saving may be
effected by feeding so that nono of It
will be wasted. While a hog Is not
over particular about cleanliness, and.
will eat food which Is covered with
almost any kind of filth, still he pre-
fees clean food, and /wll) not waste
time and strength In rooting hall) aa
ear of corn out of the mud wlfen he
sees, an ear which has not been sciT.oA.
Throwing corn, or any Other feed, n®
the ground Is wasteful, and if, as i»
too often the case, the hogs are ke*j»,
in .a; small pen which Is trampled me
rooted so, that ft. has become a..**;- .
manent mucthole, the practice Is_.
ceedingly. wasteful. In managing Ttia
grazing lots, especially those on whlcfc
\npt crops are grown, the temporary
cross fences will save from one-fourth
to-one-half the feed. It , pays, and
nnvs well, to have a floor, on which to
feed corn; and wheh- shorts, or other
ground feeds are used they should al
ways be wet and fed in a. trough. The
trough should have end pieces so Ion®
that the hogs cannot turn It over, but-,
hould not be fastened to the floor*,
ds It will need cleaning often. The-*
reeding floor and trough should bo
under n shelter.If possible. J[t Is never---
a good plan to feed animals of dif—
j'erent sizes In tfitf same- pen. When
iarge and small are £?d together the
. all are sure to suffer* P° mattor—
how muck may bo .given tt* the. lot. .

W. L. Foster of"Shreveport, La., wlio

Sorghum, to come In shortly after
barley or rye, ought to be planted in
Spanlst peanuts, sweet potatoes and
peas. Turn tho hogs onto the oats
when the seed Is about ripe; then on
artichokes again for the winter. Of
course Bermuda pasture for summer
grazing Is a sine qua. non. Oh al
luvial , lands I would say alfalfa for
pasture the year around, with straight
corn, hard (or better If soaked twen
ty-four hours). The alfalfa should be
cut and fed when • the ground Is too

shelters to go under when very cold
