greatly retarded the growth of gar
den vegetation, and II will require
some extra effort to give the s'sass, x
a new start. Don't "begrudge" the
extra time spent III this particular,
and BY all means, do not neglect the
matter longer.
Milo Maize has demonstrated its
peculiar merits as 4 forage plant in
this region. We would advise our
farmers to plant freely Of it, as It re-
quires very little attention after It
is fairly started to growing, and Will
stand our midsummer drouths ad-
mirably.
TIE desire to obtain something
for nothing, 60 prevalent among our
farmers, more especially, is keeping
up class Of swindlers in our large
cities at the expense ofthe Industrial
classes. An honest article is worth
its cost, usually. A "cheap John"
article is dear at any price.
For eight years Col. d. J. William
son, Quarter Master, u. S. A. and
ex-U. S. Consul at CaIlao. was Grip
pied with rheumatis. He got no re-
lief until he used st. Jacobs Oil,
which cured him. No remedy on
earth equals it for pain. Price, fifty
cents q bottle.
One of the most important matters
in farming is the preserving Of ma
nure is as necessary to successful
farming as an engine to steamship,
or as fuel TO . locomotive; and the
amount Of discussion on the saving
and use OF manures shows that their
is well understood by
intelligent cultivators.
There was a fair sprinkllng Of
county fairs throughout Arkansas
last year. In fact an increase over
former years. What is the outlook
for the autumn of 1886 farmer friends.
We sincerely hope that you will not
be so thoroughly preoccupied in fur
nishing fuel for the political pot this
year, as to overlook these important
matters.
Here are few truths so cogently
expressed, upon good authority, that
we reproduce them for the benefit Of
our readers, with whom we have been
laboring SO long and SO zealously in
the same direction. Diversified
farming means fields Of grain, mead
ows and pasture; kitchen garden
and orchard; lawn with trees and
flowers; breeding mares and milk
cows; sheep, swine and poultry.
Live stock is the ground work, and
will hold the soil fertile"
The penny saved IS as good as two
earned, and in the days Of small
things, or low prices, like the pres
ent, it is all important to look after
these little matters. The small
economies Of the farm are by no
means insignificant The small
economies-saying of either labor or
OF material--are often what makes
the profits in any department Of busl-
ness, and perhaps in no less degree
in that Of the farmer. There is q
right and wrong way to do every
thing, and the right way is the easy
way, Because the best and most

The following which is recommend
ed by the Orchard and Garden, is
said to be al effective remedy as
against the ravages Of the fruit tree
borer, which is becoming so trouble
some in the South Of late, more
especially among our apple trees.
To four gallons OF whitewash, add
two quarts clay, two quarts fresh
COW droppings, one quart OF lye that
bears an egg. Mix 10 proper con-
sistency with water. Remove the
ground from the top Of the roots
close to the tree, and apply the wash
to the exposed roots and to the whole
trunk of the tree, including the hol-
low between the lowest branches.
Cover the roots again with earth.
The wash should be applied twice
every season, namely about the end
Of May and the end of August. II
may be applied very expeditously
by means Of corn broom.
