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.

Man Who Makes Business Most Prof itable - Is One Who Induces Ani mals to Devour Most of Right Kinds of Food. 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 M. Schulz Company’s make and is one of first quality. It was sold to-them by Mr. Phil Poulk Of the Cairo Furniture Company at a big discount, this was his proposition some time ago to som^.of the leagers, and when ;D , ; ; V ' v they got ready to‘buy theV called The openiug of the season’s lyceum courses started Wedne day with the Miss Buck’s Quaii tette at the court house, a goo d crowd was present and . if Mi|, Weathers has made all of his selections as good as this one, then we can all just get our hair cut and be ready. There is something good coming to us fpr faur more tiroes. The singing and music w.ere both fine, hnd anyone that, cares for good singing certainly should be [satisfied with what he got Wednesday night."-*.

DR. ROBERT H. HARRIS SICK. Dr. Harris was sick Sunday and unable to fill the pulpit at the Baptist, church, however the funeral services of Mrs. James Massey consumed the morning hour and the night services were omited. Dioetor, we understand* was Buffering with an attact of heart trouble and was advised by his physician not to undertake to de liver his sermon: We are ‘ pleas ed to state that he is much bet ter ese this. (By s. M. TRACY.) 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. . The food which an animal t!S; ts by "’ . fighting may sustain life-,- but -lA jnake very, little fat. -,^n ample yaivojW' of feeds suited to the age of the' an.- mats, and . a feeding-place where nopd of It will be wasted are the two Im portant faotors In profitable hog rais ing.,.. In- regard ,tp feeding hogs, . Hon. W. L. Foster of"Shreveport, La., wlio has been for many years ;one of the largest breeders Jn that state, says; "On the hill lands, rye, barley, oats and artichokes are. the best winter grazing, taking tho hogs off the grain crops about the last of’ February ti permit the crops to mature seed. 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 wet to pasture. Hogs should run out at -all times, but should have V-shaped shelters to go under when very cold or extremely hot “For grain feed I think com alone; and not much of it, good enough .with Results Sometimes Slo.v. An, eastern manufacturer of print, lng presses recently sold a cylinder press to- a printer In South America as a result of advertising done at the Chlcagp world’s fair In 1893. The printer had saved the circulars adver tising that press sixteen years, and. when he finally got ready to buy, com municated with the manufacturer and bought that make of press. This sim ply shows *hat It often takes a long time before results come from some particular advertisement
