 Charge.

Susie Mitchell, a negro woman, ere ated a sensation this morning in the neighborhood of her home, corner of Ninth avenue and Hickory street, by preaching to the negroes around and telling them to repent of their sins for the end of the world was not far off.

She had whipped out the neighborhood and the negroes at last grew desperate, and turned to the authorities for protection. She was transferred to Justice J. A. Frazier, who put her in the county jail on a charge of lunacy, to await the action of the county judge

Concrete Walk Contracts Will Be Let Separately-PrOperty Owners Ask
 For More Time.

The Board of Public Affairs, which was to meet this afternoon, will not hold a meeting until the latter part of the week, so as to give the property owners on whom notices have been served more time in which to let the contracts for the construction of con- crete sidewalks.

 A large number of the affected pro- perty owners have asked that they be given more time, and for this req son the meeting was postponed. Most of the property owners on West Sec ond avenue have already had the work done, as have a large number on other streets of the city.

SERVICE
 ON MOUNTAIN

The Iron Mountain train going to Little Rock and due to arrive here yesterday afternoon at o'clock, was more than eight hours late yesterday and did not arrive here until this morning at an early hour. The cause of the delay has not been given out. This has been the case for several days on the Iron Mountain road south of here and almost every day the train has been running many hours late. There is apparently no reason for these continuous delays and they mer- it an investigation by the Arkansas Railroad Commission. There seems to be mismanagement on the Iron Mountain system below Little Rock somewhere and many kicks are being registered at present conditions by To- cal business men, who lose much bus mess and are otherwise affected by the poor train service.

why MIX Costs More.

Interesting statistics as to the cost
Of milk production are given by the
local milk dealers of a Massachusetts,
town in an announcement made Of an
increase in the retail price of milk to
seven cents quart during the winter
months On this announcement we
find the following suggestive compari-
sons:
Twenty years ago mill feed cost $14
per ton; today 500 per ton. Then cot
ton seed cost $18 per ton; today $34
per ton. Then, farm labor cost $50 per
month; today, $2G per month. Then
mich COWS cost $45 each; today, $65
each. Formerly a milk dealers outfit
consisted of about 25 tin cans, costing
about $15. Today, for the same bust
ness, it requires bottles, boxes, filters,
coolers, ETC., costing $3.50. Our plumb
ing, carpenters repairs, blacksmithing
and other like expenses have increased
33 per cent. Added to the above are
the constantly increasing restrictions
of state and local boards Of health,
which undoubtedly improve the quality
of the milk, but at a considerable in
crease in cost, which increase has fallen
on the producer and dealer, when 1t
should be paid by the consumer"

Dairy Notes.

Large yields per animal means less
cost in making them.
Unless a big cow Is an extra mixer,
she is less profitable than a smaller
one that is a fair mixer.
The butter product of all COWS is
more or less influenced by the care and
feeding of the animal.
An advantage of dairying in connec-
ton with grain raising is that it makes
home market for home grown crops.
If the temperature is too low the
time and friction consumed in churn-
ing are so great that the butter be-
comes soft, deficient in color and does
not keep well.
The speed of the churn depends upon
the size of the churn and the amount
of cream, but it should be turned so
as to give the greatest conclusion to
the cream.
The value of cream Is based on the
dry solids it contains and cream from
different cows and from the same cows
at different periods of the year has a
surprising difference In butter value.
Dairying has this advantage, that its
produce Is in the line of food and is
always in demand at some price and is
therefore a money crop to the farmer;
to this may be added the fact that the
money comes quite frequently.

Don't kill those little chubby fat pigs
because they have the "thumps," says
a writer in Farm and Fireside Quit
giving so much corn; give them milk,
kitchen refuse, bran and anything but
so much corn. Give them coal to eat
whenever they want it. One man
killed three of his pigs because he did
not know what was wrong with them.
He said they had fits when they went
to drink their slop. He thought they
were going mad, SO he knocked them
in the head. With little care they
could have been saved.

Farmers and Poultry Fanciers.

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming, whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing were producing 60 eggs year or
200 made no difference. His whole aim
has been to breed out a fowl flight
feather or two, or to create a better
comb, or eyes Of a better tint at a
sacrifice Of everything else. The re-
suit Is that when a farmer goes into
the market to buy thoroughbreds with
his money In his pocket ready and will
ing to pay for the best stock, he not
only often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays premium
for something that has been obtained
at a sacrifice of the very qualities
which he does need. There are few
men, however raising thoroughbred
stock that is bred to lay" Or to meet
certain market demands, and those are
the men that should be patronized.

STACKING wheat.

Years ago it was a common custom
to stack the wheat as soon as it was
we'll cured in the shock, but gradually
many parts of the country it was
rare sight to see stack.
OF recent years a reaction seems to
be slowly taking place and stacking is
again coming into fashion, according to
a writer In American Agriculturist.
The reason for this Is not in doubt.
1t is the bitter and costly experiences
that have come home to farmers
through leaving their grain in the
shock until the machine came around
OF course, when everybody stacked and
the thrashing season occupied six
weeks or more, a majority Of the crops
were necessarily left standing in the
shock for weeks, exposed to storms
and winds.
Now, Of course, while 1t is fact that
rainy seasons in July are uncommon,
they are of sufficiently regular occur
renee to make the damage they inf1ict
far outweigh the cost of annually
stacking or storing the grain.
Stacking can be carried on every
moment of the day that the wheat is
dry enough to handle. If the stack is
uncompleted at night or when a shower
comes up it can be covered with a tar
paulin. With his grain once safely in
the stack the farmer is independent of
IL ,1D I,e, Nd
can go about his other work serenely
conscious that he has done his duty in
safeguarding his principal cash crop.
