IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

Between $4,000 and $4,000
home seekers started for the west
and southwest yesterday through
gateways of Chicago, Memphis,
Little Rock. Shreveport. Tex
arkana, st. Louis, Kansas City
and Omaha, according to decla-
ration by the railway passenger
men who have been closely watch
ing the movement, which has
been going on ever since the cheap
rates passed into effect late last
fall.
Yesterdays movement was a
record breaker and it is said that
more people have sought homes
i'm the southwest in the last three
months than ever before during a
similar period.
John Sebastian, passenger
traffic manager of the Rock
Island system, who has just re-
turned from the southwest, says
that the magnitude of the move
ment of homeseekers in that di-
rection is almost beyond belief
Chicago Record-Herald
A concerted effort should be
made to get some of those home
seekers located in Winn parish.
As rule they are good citizens
who are seeking better education
al, religious and social advanta-
ges for their families and make
valuable additions to the sections
where they locate.
The hundreds of acres of land
now idle in this parish are capa-
BILE of producing almost untold
wealth under the influence of
trained farmers, and a majority
of these immigrants are farmers
seeking homes where there is
plenty of undeveloped land. Our
people should get together and
formulate some plan by which
some of these people could be
turned in this direction. 1t is
the only chance to develop our
parish and after the timber is re-
moved, make of it the home-Of a
prosperous and enlightened peo-
pie.

A LEADER is NEEDED.

AT this age of progress there il
nothing that seems impossible oil
accomplishment. If some one
will take the lead and persevere
there can be no such thing as fail
but il. men sit around on their
front door steps and wait for
something to turn up, they will
soon awake to the fact that they
are too late. Those men who
wait for their neighbors to adver-
tise the town, without giving
their assistance, will find that the
people who come to the towns.
will look for the stores and BUSH
ness places they have seen adver-
tised. A man who wants to help
in the progress of his town will
not wait, but will be ever ready
to lend helping hand.
Winnfield needs a leader, one
who will go ahead and not say 81
am willing to do as much as my
neighbor," but will say to. his
neighbors, come on. l am will
ling to do so much; how much
will you do? Do not wait for
fear you will do more than your
share. You need not be afraid OF
doing too much, because the more
you do the greater will be your
reward"
We have number of men in
WINFIELD who would make ideal
leaders. There are inquiries
from all courses, the far east,
north and west, being received
every day asking about the posi-
bilities of this section. Look at
the number of travelling sales
men who come to WINFIELD each
week, a list of their names being
printed in The Sentinel each
week. They show how the COM
mercial world feels about Winn-
field. With proper accommoda-
tions and inducements Winfield
could be made the home of at
least twenty or thirty travelling
statesmen who make this territory
every week. There is no town SO
admirably located, and the facil-
ties for getting in and out of
Winfield are only surpassed by
two or three towns In the State.
The Sentinel would suggest
that the business men get together
and formulate some plan of action
looking to the upbuildlng of the
town, select some one to lead in
setting forth the possibilities of
the town. We have the town
with its almost unlimited posi-
bilities and people are anxious to
come here, but they will not come
until invited. 1t will not do for
US to lay quietly here and not ask
them to come. And when these
people do come do not drive them
away, but meet them and give
them cordial welcome. sell them
at fair price and show them
that our invitation is genuine and
that we are glad to have them.
The possibilities of this section
are great. All we have to do is
to let the people away from here
know what we have and they will
come The columns of The SEN
tinel, arc open and the services OF
the editor can be commanded for
the upbuilding ofthe various pos
sibilities of this parish and the
town Of Winn6eld.

Some fruit gardens are fertilizer

WILD FLOWER BORDERS.

A Constant succession of Woodland
Beauty to Be a Vogue.
A wild dover fad is predicted for
this season.
With the first touch of spring, before
the snow and ice have disappeared from
the more densely shaded places, the
first wild flowers begin to bloom. and
there is constant succession of gay
blossoms, increasing in splendor until
late in September. when many Of the
wild flowers are at their best.
By making trips to the woods at va
rious seasons the flower lover may
transplant such specimens of each va
riety as please his fancy. At home a
bed should be prepared for them, plac-
ed where the plants may have some
protection from the hot sun and be wa
tered regularly The soil should be
thoroughly enriched with well rotted
manure or some commercial fertilizer
1t is best to plant the wild flowers as
border, with all varieties mixed, as
most of theEl are perennials, and 1t
will be unnecessary to repIant the bor-
der yearly except to replace those that
die. Owing to the different Towering
seasons of the several varieties. If the
bed is well furnished with many sorts
there will be constant succession Of
bloom all the summer.
1t is best to begin working the
ground for the bed as soon in the
spring as it is dry enough. The trans
planted flowers should be carefully and
regularly watered until they are well
established. Afterward it is only nee
essary to keep the weeds out. The
seeds of many Of the best wild flowers
can be purchased of the seedsmen.

shown in the second cut and mailing
the lath solid to the half inch ceiling
without Turing out. It is usually rec
commended in lathing silos that the
edges of the lath be cut on a bevel,
so that when nailed to the wall dove
tailed joint is formed for the mortar,
or that the lath be set out on Turing
strips, SO that the mortar may clinch
behind the Iath. Experience shows
that this is entirely unnecessary.
The plaster was made of one part
portland cement to two parts of good
sharp sand Two coats of this mortar
We're used, making the plaster full
half inch thick over the lath. The sec
ond coat extended continuously from
the bottom of the brickwork to the top
of the silo, uniting the foundation and
the superstructure and giving an air
tight wall for the entire silo.
After the silo wall was completed a
conical shingled roof was put on, a
chute built over the doors through which
the silage is thrown down and the
small space between the silo and the
barn rooted over, connecting the two.
The silo was then completed, ready for
painting.
In order to preserve the silo in good
condition it is absolutely necessary
that the half inch lumber with which
the silo is ceiled be protected from
dampness. To this end the plaster
must be good quality and kept perfect
" water tight by cementing up any
cracks that may appear, so that the
wood shall receive no moisture from
the silage The wall must also be
ventilated, for by allowing free cir
culation of air between the ceiling and
the lining the lumber will be kept dry.
This silo has been filed twice, and
both years the silage has kept perfectly

Dairy Talk Of Today

Anybody who belongs to the Ancient
Order of the Sons of Rest should shun
the dairy business.
The dairyman should be of quick
and apprehensive mind. A slow think
ing and Indifferent man had better fol-
low the plow.
It is hard for an empty sack to stand
straight, but still harder for lazy
man to succeed IN the dairy business.
The farmer who gets the best results
from his cows is not in the habit of
ssupposing'' everything TO be right.
How to Get Help.
Keeping record sheet Is really a
simple method to keep track Of the re-
suits from your dairy cows. Let me
suggest right here that If you begin to
interest the boys and girls on the farm
in this line of work 1t will be surprising
to see how soon they will be able to
take entire charge Of it, says writer
in Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer. AS rule,
all boys and girls have their favorite
cows among the herd AS soon as they
learn that there is competition among
the cows they will be greatly interest
ed in the final result. Hint to them
that in measure the care and feed
of these cows control the results and
see how soon they will begin expert
menting.
Dairy Prosperity.
Statistics show very conelusively that
the increase in population exceeds the
increase in the production of dairy
products, and the eminently satisfac-
tory and stable prices for milk, butter
and cheese the past few years have en-
abled wise dairymen to prosper as
never before, according to Hoard's
Dairyman.
Southern Dairying.
A dairy association has just been or
ganized in Wake county, N. c., max
ing the third county society Of that ma
ture in the state Country Gentleman.
Profitable Conversion.
A carload Of corn is worth $3.50. A
carload Of butter is worth $4,000. Con
vert your corn into butter and save
the freight on nineteen cars. SO
runs a placard hung in the car Of dairy
exhibits on the dairy special train that
recently travelled over the state Of
Kansas.
The Dairy system OF Farming.
The dairy system of farming is
something more than mere dairying.
Many of our people have not yet learn
ed this. That would be mighty un.
profitable dairy farm that sold nothing
but butter or cheese or milk, says
Texas Farm and Ranch.
Brief Remarks.
It's hard to make a man believe he
owns poor COW.
Treat the COW kindly. This requires
no cash outlay.
A cat is said to have nine lives, but
a cow can kick the bucket oftener than
that
Some people think that a dairy COW
is d piece Of machinery, but they &c
not realize that she IS nervous piece
of machinery.
Yearly COW tests are becoming more
and more popular. Try them yourself

In the Emit Garden.

Strawberries Carefully remove all
the fruit stalks from newly set plants.
Cultivate and procure mulch for the
fruiting beds.
Blackberries Clean up the old
patches and get them ready for fruit
ing. If new plantations are to be made
set plants early. Select the variety
best suited to your locality. Have the
ground in productive condition for or
binary farm crops and especially well
drained. for the black berry is as sensi-
tive to water as any other fruit
Raspberries Treat them about the
same as blackberries except that they
like richer SOIL
Currants Trim old bushes and plant
new ones early. The ground should
be rich and kept clean. # well taken
care of currants pay.

New Hybrid Lettuce.

The eastern market demands head
lettuce that is, one with close head,
like a little cabbage, and very few
loose outside leaves. The west wants
lettuce all open. with all of what are
called dressing leayes The great
objection to this lettuce is that it is too
light. 1t is now reported that the plant
breeders Of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington have succeeded in
producing hybrid Of the two that has
both the inner head and the outer
dressing leaves and at the same time Is
heavy enough to be desirable.

most always sometimes is. People
generally do the very thing that
some people think they ought not to
do. The good divine who criticised
the newspapers is altogether too
suspicious. He imagines too much.
Some good people who go to bed
every night at 8 o'clock are very
doubtful as to whether the saloons
close every night at midnight, and
imagine that every back room in q

In the Arkansas valley from Pu-

is on a rough estimate 10000 acres
planted to beets. By hand it COSTS
between eight and ten dollars per

age would be eight and one-half dol
lars per acre. So that to top the
beets by hand the farmers in this
valley this year will pay out $780,
600. Quite large sum of money to
put in circulation. The Kite ma
chine will top beets at an average
price of two and onehalf dollars per-
acre. Now suppose these 10000
acres are divided among 1000 beet
growers which will give each 20
acres, and this is fair average. If
these farmers had q Kite machine
