Bill" Hall of Lancaster.
J. Kelley Wright, lecturer tor the
state board of agriculture, went to
Lancaster to get photographs of the
Hall farm which he will use In his Il
lustrated lecture, ".Missouri.'' before
the high schools of the state.
"Ever since 1 began collecting the
pictures and the facts for this lec
ture on '.Missouri.' " said Mr. Wright,
'i have been finding new things In
which Missouri is first. Personally I
would have placed elephants at the
bottom of any list of possible first
thlnes in .Missouri, but it turns out
that Mr. Hall has the biggest firm in
the country, and controls the price
of elephants in the Western hemis
phere." Big Poultry Sales.
.Missouri produces liO million dollars'
worth of poultry products yearly, and
these are sold to consumers all the
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Missouri has the largest poultry rais
ers' association in the world, with five
thousand members. Missouri farmers
lose from to million dollars an
nually from marketing bad eggs. More
careful methods would eliminate this
loss and would increase the surplus
poultry products and their value
These were the points brought out re
cently at a meeting of state poultry
experts in St. Joseph.

WORKING FOR ROCK ROADS
Movement Haa Scarfed In Clay County
to Connect the Towns with
Liberty.
An agitation for a system of rock
roads In Clay( county has been started
in the last week, and If the roads are
built practically every town In Clay
county would be connected with Liber
ty, the county seat. The movement
has had Its beginning among large
land owners and the idea is to build
the roads by a bond issue of one-halt
million dollars or more by the county.
W. E. Campbell of North Kansas
City and J. C. Wright of Smlthvllle,
two of the leaders for permanent road
improvement, have figured that the tax
for about one hundred miles of rock
road would be only about four mills on
the dollar of assessed valuation, the
tax on land being only about Ave cents
an acre each year for twenty years,
it is stated.
Clay county property has an assess
ed valuation of close to fourteen mil
lion dollars. It is believed the people
of the towns would be willing to help
bear the expense In order to see the
county have good roads.
Routes suggested for the roads are
from Liberty to North Kansas City,
and to Excelsior Springs and Missouri
City, also to Kearney and Holt and
Nashua and Smlthvllle, with a north
and south road over the present Inter
state trail from Smlthvllle through
Gashland and Linden to North Kansas
City. It 1b realized the question will
have to be thoroughly discussed and
the benefits of the Improved system of
roads made plain to get the bonds
voted. Meetings are to be held to dis
cuss the question.
ST. LOUIS BANKS LOSE CASE
1 Federal Court of Appeals Upholds De
! cision Regarding the Payment of
Corporation Tax.
The I'nlted States circuit court of
.t, 'peals at St. Louis uphold the de
cision of the lower court whereby
money paid by national banks for
state taxes Is assessable tinder the
federal corporation excise tax. The
decision affects till national banks in
Missouri and Is believed by some lo
cal bunkers to affect national banks
throughout the country.
The decision was rendered In the
case of the National Bank of Com
merce of St. Louis vs. E. B. Allan,
former Internal revenue collector for
eastern Missouri. Tor the recovery of
about $5,000 paid as a federal excise
tax. This was a test case arranged
by the St. Louis Clearing House As
sociation. The federal corporation excise law
creates a tax of 1 per cent on all net
income exceeding $6,000 annually.
The National Bank of Commerce
claimed that approximately $500,000,
which it had paid as state taxes dur
ing 19H9, 1910 and 1911. should not
have been assessed under the federal
excise tax law.

I pulled six cars still on the track away

WRONG PRACTICE WITH SOWS
First Pure-Bred Sow Is Usually Rut
In Pen by Herself, Petted and
Generously Overfed.
It sooms almost natural for the pur
chaser of his flrst pure-bred sow, In
his desire to give her extra care, to
overfeed her, to keep her away from
the other hogs, put her In a close
pen, where sho Is petted and fed at
regular meal times, and lunch be-
i tween In some Instances, in their
anxiety to do the very best for her
. possible.
! This method of treatment Is sure to
; ruin the sow, both In the feeding and
I .t the close confinement, preventing
her from taking the necessary exer
cise, so needful to the proper strength
ening and building up on a solid
foundation and to harden her In de
: veloplng her, giving her a good con
stitution, broadening her and
strengthening her with the exercise,
which Is also Imparted to her coming
Utter.
The parlor sow, with ber pettlngs
' and care. Is nearly always a failure,
and the party is wondering why it is,
writes William Carruthers In Orchard
and Farm. It Is the wrong method
throughout. It Is unnatural and al
most certain to result in failure of
the sow.
Feeding when properly done, com
bined with exercise, is the proper
idea. Feeding of the right character
Is essential; it needs to be regular.
: at uniform times, and with plenty of
water and proper exercise, is the power
that is depended upon to develop and
Improve the breed. The feeder is an
important man in the destiny of the
hog and should understand the busi
ness and act according to reason and
the experience that Is taught from
those who have made a success of it.
COMMON DISEASE OF SHEEP
Animals Afflicted With Foot Rot
Should Be Removed to Clean, Dry
Lands and Trouble Attended To.
The first thing to do for sheep with
foot rot is to get them on to clean,
high, dry lands. Their feet should
then be examined and any foreign mat
ter between the toes, which may be ag
gravating the case, removed. All
ulcers containing pus should also be
opened and the pus drained off.
The next thing to do Is to apply
strong disinfectants to kill the trouble
some parasites. Ointments made of a
lard or lard-and Hour body, with car
bolic acid or sheep dip in generous
proportions incorporated, are some
times used for this purpose. This Is
applied after the loot has been thor
oughly bathed and cleaned up. This
treatment requires considerable time
and effort and is not practical in large
flocks.
TRIMMER FOR HORSE'S FEET
Tool, Resembling Pair of Pliers, In

For the neat and expeditious trim

of the jaws an arcuate rack is pivoted.
These racks, which constitute the In

rack members are held together by a

so that It moves readily back and

of movement of the various parts of
the tool, yet keeps the lntermeshed
teeth of the racks from slipping out of
place and making the implement use
less. The cutting jaws are operated
over the top of the hoof.
EXCELLENT HINTS ON HORSES
Intelligent Mapagement Is Essential
Point Don't Sacrifice Quality to
8Ue Time for Water.
The essential point In using pure
bred draft mares on the farm is intel
ligent management.
The last 200 pounds we can put on
a young draft horse is the most profit
able 200 pounds of meat we can pro
duce on the farm.
No drawing card holds out quite
such strong Inducements to good hired
men as the farm that maintains high
class work horses.
It is a great mistake to sacrifice
quality to size. y
A horse is worth just what he can
endure for his owner.
Many farm horses get more hay
than is good for them. It Is a poor
plan to keep their feed racks or
manger full of hay all the time.
A horse watered the last thing at
night and the first thing In the morn
ing la not going to take too much.
Greatest Single Mistake.
The greatest single mistake made
by the beginner with pure-bred stuck
Is in figuring that every animal that
Is eligible to registry is fit to use or
sell as a breeder. No greater mis
take' could be made.
Substitute Car Prairie Hay.
In sections where prairie hay haa
become a scarce article, farmers can
substitute well by the use of any of
the small grains for hay and the sub
stitution will prove more profitable
per acre than the native prairie.
