What An Arkansas Farmer Can Do.

He can raise 200 to 300 bushels of
sweet potatoes to the acre and for
$50 he can buld a house that will
keep them all the year.
He can plant one acre of artichok-
ers and fatten fifty hogs on it. The
hogs can do their own digging and
waste nothing.
He can raise all kinds of stock 100
per cent cheaper than it can be done
farther north
He will not have to fertilize his
land TO make it yield a good harvest
He can make a living easier and at
the same time enjoy more equable
climate.
He can raise finer fruit, greater
variety and more of it than in any
other country IN the world.
He can have vegetables on the table
the year around,
You can plant one acre in cane and
make 200 gallons Of beautiful clear
syrup with no sorghum twang to it.
Bees require no attention further
than taking what honey you wish.
You can raise four tons of clover
hay per acre, and the ground does not
have to be seeded but once in five
years.
Five tons of German millet is not a
large yield for one year
Wet land, sown in red top forms

The difficulty of continuing dial to show
the mean time has, it is told in The Horo-
logical Review, been overcome in a simple
manner by Major General j. r. Oliver, of
London, who has devised n gnomon which
practically makes its own correction for
the equation of time In this instrument
the time is indicated not by the shadow of
q straight edge, as in the old sundials, but
by the point where an equatorial circular
line is cut by the edge of the shadow of a
curved surface, the curvature of which is
80 arranged with respect to the suns dis
lance above or below the equator us to COM
pensate for the equation of time" The
instrument is universal one and consists
of Il meridonal semicircle, the diameter Of
which il All axis carrying the curved gno-
mon, and an equatorial circular arc. The
latter has engraved upon it's concave sur
face Il graduated line on which are marked
the hours and their subdivisions There Is
screw for clamping the meridional arc at
the proper position for any given latitude
and another clamp for adjusting the equa-
torial arc. The dial not only indicates
local mean time, but by very simple adj
justment may be set SO as to show any re-
quired standard time. The figure here Civ
en- illustrates the dial devised by Major
Oliver.
