North Arkansas Zinc Field.

II has been known for many years
hat this section is exceptionally
'ick in zinc ores; however, the poor
| transportation facilities and former
low prices of ores have retarded devel-
opment.
Splendidstracts of mining land have
been sold here from year to year at
from 81 to SIS and $40 per acre, al
though it was known they were rich in
ere. The past two years have wit
messed wonderful change. New rail-
roads are coming in from all directions
and land that few months ago was
offered at IS is now being held at from
$50 to $500 per acre, and in some places
has even sold for double the last
amount named. Rich strikes of high
grade ore are being reported daily.
Many new mills have been built in
the past few months that are now turn
ing out hundreds of dollars i'll profit
each week for their owners, and yet
the work has just commenced. Prices
of land are so high in the older dis
tricts that many of the miners are
flocking to the new camp, and, it will
be but few short years until cities
will stand where now grows the corn.
| The railroads are competing with
each other, and with old Father Time,
in their mad rush to open up this Won
derful field. The ore is here, and
there is no question about that. Ship
ping facilities will soon be all that
heart could wish.
Many fortunes will be made here,
and but few dollars will be lost If the
investor will keep his eyes open and
steer clear of mining sharks. We pre-

Thoughts Suggested by our Sunday Sermon
Nov. z9th, l9o5.l
1t is grand to lead the hosts of right,
And dauntless press the way,
When frank and file, with quickened
step
Are eager for the fray;
But grander still to hear the cheers
That stir like bugle cali
Each quivering nerve as voices swell,
Your praises over ALL
1t is good to snatch from tempting
verge
With ready helping hand.
The faltering step-that spite of fear,
Midst dangers trembling stand
But better still to break the spell,
And set the captive free
From tangled snares and crooked ways
To boundless liberty.
It's sweet to bring from running
stream"
Fresh draughts for desert ways
And with Loves service heart and
brain,
From sluggish channels raise
But sweeter still If sacrifice
Brings forth glad refrain,
From famished lips-and they take
heart,
And "sing iife's songs again."
But should you wait--with "tethered
limbs"
And hear the battle cry,
"Of onward soldiers--into line"
And laggards pass you by.
Then comes the teat-'the crucial test"
AS shadows vaguely drear-
Sweep over your soul like rising tide
And darkness seemeth near.
But through your helplessness comes
strength,
You've gained the victor's part,
If on Eternal Love you wait,
With cheerful, contrite heart,
And name and fame and service all
Though wrapped in folded hands
Are lasting messages of faith
Through Him who understands.

PRACTICAL THOUGHTS ON FARMING.

The potato crop of Germany is
nearly ten times as great as that o
the United States.
Farmers are playing a new game
in their corn fields. 1t is called
ping pong" Every time an ear Of
corn hits the throw-boards a play is
made.
And now the corn huslsing liar has
the center of the stage Que man
over in Johnson county claims to
have huskel so bushels of corn in
five hours.
At an experiment station it was
demonstrated thatsit requires 40 per
cent more power to draw a load on
wagon with one and one-half-ineh
tires than on one with three-inch
tire.
An Iroquois county farmer chal-
lenged anybody to produce an ear OF
corn containing more than 1920
kernels The next week 2. II. Sea-
ger, of Kankakee, flashed an ear
containing /, 459 kernels.
Eight months ago Lou Dillon was
an unknown quantity, placidly chew
ing alfalfa in California. Today she
holds worlds records, ranks with
the highest of the equine aristoeracy,
and money cannot buy her.
A farmer sells a hog at four and
one-half cents pound, 1t is shipped
to Chicago, where it is worked up
into breakfast baeon,' and then it
is shipped back and sold to its form
er owner at 20 cents. This leads an
exchange to ask: How many hogs
must the farmer sell before the meat
trust owns his farm?"
Men who have invested their
money in the stocks of the great
trusts expecting enormous dividends,
and not getting any, may worry
about it; but the farmer who is not
trust stock SPECTATOR and has a
corn crib full of corn need not worry
at all. It is now estimated that the
corn crop this year will be 2,300,-
000,00 bushels. Don't worry about
the trusts.
A southern real estate agent, when
confronted with the statement that
southern lands do not nearly meas
ure up to Central Illinois lands in
productiveness and value, replied
that the southern lands are as val
liable as the Central Illinois lands
because while the lands are So an
acre the climate is worth sos an
acre, making the southern lands
worth 500 per acre.
An exchange says that every paper
in the state should publish the fact
that burnt corn is sure cure for
hog cholera and adds; 1t was first
discovered by distillery in Peoria,
Ill. 1t was thrown to the hogs and
eaten by them. Before that time a
number had been dying each day
with cholera, but the disease immed-
lately disappeared. 1t is so simple a
remedy that it can be easily tried.

We are the most prosperous people
in the world because we both produce
and consume more than others
The little that we sell abroad
about 10 per cent. of our net pro
duction, and the little we purchase
abroad, 6 or 7 per cent of our net
consumption, constitute no challenge
to the statement that our prosperity
rests with ourselves.

The Ben Davis is one of the very
poorest in quality of any apple
grown in America. yet there are
more of these trees planted and more
money made out of it than can be
done with any other apple. This is

Then it is large and is a first class
keeper and shipper; besides it is a
prolific producer. The better types
of apples are invariably deficient in
one or more of these qualities.

TURKEYS IN RED COATS.

was In the habit of gathering
chicken-grapes in the autumn. and
making them into medicines by pre-
serving them in spirits.
1t happened once, after the con-
tents of jar containing the decoc-
ton had been exhausted, that Miss
Blake emptied the liquor-soaked
grapes on the ground. Here her fine
brood of turkeys quickly gobbled
them, relates the Baltimore Sun.
Presently Miss Blake found the
turkeys lying on the ground and, not
realizing the cause of their stupor,
she thought they were dead. In or
der to realize something from the
feathers, she had the turkeys picked.
The carcasses were thrown outdoors.
The next morning there was q
great hue and cry from the servants
in the backyard, and. looking out of
the window, Miss Blake saw her tur-
keys walking about, absolutely bare
except for few tail and wing feath-
ers.
In order to protect them from tho
cold, the good old woman bought
enough red flannel to make each tur-
key comfortable garment. Very
soon, to the wonder of the neighbors
far and wide, Miss Blake's turkeys
stalked abroad. wearing their red
coats with the same easy grace with
which they had worn their feathers.
