OLD NEGRO
 FOUND DEAD

The body of an old negro, Hil- Hard Hudson, was found on West Pullen street last night at about 9 o'clock by some negroes and the find reported to the local authori- ties immediately. The old negro was about 60 years old, and had been dead some two or three hours when he was found. He had two "Hoodoo charms" in his pockets but they evidently availed him noth- ing. It is thought that he died from heart trouble, and as the coro- ner is certain that he died from natural causes no inquest was held. He was employed as day laborer up to the time of his death, and by order of the coroner the body was taken to the undertaking establish ment of Holderness-Fitzhugh Com pany.

BIG CROWDS
 AT VAUDEVILLE

The popularity of vaudeville m
 this city was amply proven last
 night by the large attendance at
 the Forest Park theater. The dou-
 bla car service on the Forest Park
 line was taken advantage of by
 theater goers early in the evening
 and when the curtain went up on
 the first feature act, the theater was
 pretty we'll crowded. The Musical
 Bensons. Lenore and St. Claire and
 St. Julian the Great entertained ana
 amused the audience as on the night
 before and were the recipients of re-
 peated encores. Their acts are
 proving more popular each night and the fact that the show went through last night without one min ute's delay added to the pleasure Of the evening. The moving pictures wre also attractive, as usual, and Interesting to a degree. The dou- I ble carvice will be on again tonight land the vaudeville will undergo Eslight changes. The management
 has placed large ceiling fans in the 4theater and the interior of the place &is as cool as the seaside. If you Hike good music rip roaring com Jedy and novelties, see the vaude- Mile show at Forest Park this week.

NEED CARS
 FOR SHIPMENTS
Captain J. E. York Says Shortage of Freight Cars Seriously Cripples
 the Lumber Company.

j. E. York, of Pine Bluff, presi- dent of one of the largest lumber concerns in the state, says the move ment of finished and rough lumber at this time of the year is seriously handicapped because the railroads are unable to furnish cars for the stock, says the Little Rock Ga zette. He states that the market for lumber products is. unusually good, and his company alone is call ed upon to ship from ten to fifteen cars a day out of Pine Bluff over the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southwestern road and the St. Louis Southwestern.
 If We could get the cars for this shipment, the movement would be much faster" he said. "Yesterday l called upon one of ouf local agents for twenty-five cars in order to move an order. The agent was unable to furnish but six cars out of the twenty-five ordered, and could give no promises as to when the other cars could be furnished In our section this seems to apply to both lines. Last year We were seriously handicapped for want of cars and this year promises to be almost as bad.
 The supply of lumber in our sec- tion is almost unlimited and We get all the timber we want for the plant. Much of this comes from Grant county, where there are yet large pine of virgin timber of un- usually good kuality. This is ship ped into Pine Bluff over the small logging roads and manufactured ir- to various kinds of lumber. The forests of Grant county are among the finest in the world.''

The State Fair Association proposes to give the premiums offered by the press of Arkansas for increased cir culation and advertising and for the payment of delinquent accounts.
 The State Fair Association agrees to pay all expenses of the one most popular lady from each of the seven congressional districts in Arkansas, to and from the State Fair and dur ing the Fair. This means railway transportation both ways from any point in Arkansas where the elected lady lives, her hotel bill at a first class hostelry during the entire ten days of the Fair. to furnish her car riage to and from grounds, and to generally entertain her with recep- tons, fetes, etc., during the Fair.
 Each of these seven ladies will i'll turn reign one day during the Fair as the Hostess and Queen of the State Fair, during the other days she will prominently participate in all the functions, as one of the honored court ladies in the retinue of the reigning queen.
 The Womens Federated Clubs of Arkansas are with the Fair Associa tion in this great popularity contest. The Federation has a standing State Fair Committee who are even now sending out letters to every club in the State, urging them to see that suitable ladies are brought into the voting contests in each district, so that we are sure to have State Fair Queens of whom We may all be truly proud.
 The club ladies are peculiarly in terested in this matter for Thursday, October 10. will be Federation Day and on that day Mrs. Richard B. Will lis of Searcy, president of the Arkan- sas Federation, will be the State Fair

tile eggs, the fowls should be mated
at least three weeks before you wish
to set the eggs. These figures are
based on ideal conditions and upon
matings of strong, vigorous stock.
Experiments have proven that the
male will fertilize three or four eggs
at one service of the female. Tests
have been made where the male fer
tilted a greater number, some claim
ing as many as seven eggs. Now, if
your hens have been running with a
a male of another breed it is perfectly
plain that they should be separated at
least two weeks before all trace if
the fertilization of the former male
is lost, for the reason that many hens,
especially in early spring, lay an egg
only every other day. 1t is always
dangerous and very bad practice to
allow hens to run with males of any
other breed or of their own breed, ex-
cept during the breeding season. The
hens without a male will do better,
will lay more eggs, and the eggs can
be preserved for longer time.

When Eggs Are Fertile.

The question is often asked by the
beginner in the poultry business, How
long after pen my hens with the cock
will the eggs be fertile? This ques-
ton is an important one, and, of
course, has never been settled to a
certainty. 1t depends oftentimes upon
the condition of the birds A num-
Der of tests have been made and, bas-
ing our conclusions upon the reports
of all of them, We think the following
is not far from correct.
Eggs gathered at any time during
the first week of the mating, not more
than 80 per cent are fertile.
Eggs gathered during the second
week after mating from 40 to 80 per
cent will hatch.
Eggs gathered during the third
week after mating, from so to 80 per
cent will prove fertile. From this,

Shelter From the Sun.

This is the. season of the year when
some shelter from the hot sun should
be provided for the young chickens.
If the yards are permanent quarters,
it will be found eXpedient to plant
small fruit trees, such as apple, plum,
and peach trees Artichokes and sun
flowers, planted closely, are also fine,
the latter furnishing valuable medi-
cinal addition to the regular ration.
Hemp, sown thickly in the fall fur
nishes a good protection from the sun
and the green growth will not be eaten
by the birds, The chief objection to
this latter is that the seeds attract
numerous wild birds, which soon learn
to forage upon the rations of the
chicks, to the detriment of the latter.
In the event that grown shelter"
is not desirable, suitable shade can
be provided at trif1ing cost. 1t is bet
exclude the rain in addition to the
with copious downfall, often result ia
tally to chicks of larger growth, as
we'll as those of immature size.
In some parts of the country the
secluded spots in which the chicks
are raised also furnish shelter for their
natural enemy, the hawk, and this
makes artificial shelter with overhead
covering all the more desirable.
The shelter need in no case be cost
ly or elaborate, but it pays, and is one
of the essentials of chick raising 1t
may be of rough boards, burlap, or
some of the several varieties of vines,
trained on trellises. If the shelter is
open on all sides, the chicks get the
benefit of breezy ventilation, and if
built close to the ground-say three or
four feet-they will be protected from
the hard winds.

PO ULT X Y
Seattle Poultry Association Meeting.

The Seattle Poultry association held
meeting on July oath for the pur-
pose of selecting birds for the James
town exposition and for devising
means of selling direct to the con-
sumer The meeting was called to
order by President ]. l.. Anderson.
Several new members were admitted
and the regular routine business was
attended to.
H. H. Collier, poultry Judge, of Ia
coma; J. L. Anderson, superintendent
of the poultry department of the A
Up. exposition, and Frank e. Will
Jams, of Seattle, were appointed a
committee to solicit funds and birds
for making an exhibit at the James
town exposition Immediately.
There was a Butler hotel bill of
fare read to the meeting, showing
that the Butler hotel was getting $3.50
for half spring chicken, but it did not
say that the hotel was paying only
90 cents per pound for IL pound
springs.
Adjournment was taken here, but
another meeting was held a little
later on, and the market question was
discussed. Several questions were
discussed, with no assurance that
profits would be increased for the
producer or lessened for the commits
sion man or for any hotel or restau-
rant man.
A committee was appointed to or
ganize the farmers into an associa-
ton and the price of stock to be per-
manently settled later. Shares in the
organization at $40 each were pro-
posed by Mr.. Collier, of Tacoma,
while J. L. Crab, of Seattle, thought
they should be 81 each. Members on
this committee are G. R. Cotterill, of
Kent, chairman; F. c. Williams, Sc
attic, secretary; F. G. Boissevain, Sc
attic.

Fresh Fish for Poultry.

A good food for growing chicks or
laying hens is fish waste, if used fresh,
or young and inferior refuse fish.
which can be had at canning and
packing plants, usually free of cost.
This food is rich in protein and is a
remarkable egg and flesh producer.
A proper way of preparing this waste
or refuse is to steam or bake it quite
thoroughly, thus eliminating any Of
fensive odor, and mix it with the daily
mash of corn or oatmeal or middlings.
1t will take the place of a meat diet.
but should not be fed too freely or too
often, as it may have a tendency to
lessen the amount of exercise the
fowls should take. When the fish are
properly cooked the flavor will not
be perceptible in the eggs.

Notes for the Poultry Raiser.

Notes for the Poultry Raiser.
Keep poultry houses clean and or
derby.
Remember that neatness in the poul-
try yard pays in dollars and cents.
The sitting hen does not get fat, but
she serves a useful purpose all the
same.
Salt butter given early in the day,
before other food, will cure as well as
prevent gapes.
A pound of poultry can be grown
at less cost than pound of beef, and
is worth more.
Poultry properly cared for in summer
will be in better condition for good
work during the fall and winter.
Never wash eggs that are to be set.
The shells are very porous and will
absorb sufficient water to spoil them.
Sour milk and butter milk are ex-
cellent food for all kinds of poultry,
especially turkeys, ducks and geese.
