Garden of Eden,

MT. Editor: We American people are always either at the topor bottom of the ladder. We never occupy me dium ground. For the last two months everybody you meet whether white or black, halls you with, did you ever see such a season before?' When in fact We have had several. which as young as l am, can we'll remember.
 In 1855, on the fifth day of June we had splendid rain, and not until after that rain was there stand of cotton anywhere in the Memphis dis trict, and poor land that year, that was well worked, produced bale to the acre.
 In 1882 there was a late and wet spring, and most of our crops were planted and replanted after the twenty-second day of May and like '55 was one of the most productive years the south ever knew.
 In '97, the year of the big and late overflow, the most of our cotton was planted in Iuae, which was another successful year.
 l see nothing to discourage the credit merchant or industrious farmer this year. Of course, we have one class of farmers whose affection for town is so great that he has no higher aspiration than to buy his corn, cotton seed, butter and chickens, in prefer ence to raising them-he has some ground for complaint this season.
 HuSe Fucker has Sheriff Williams place leased this year, and fortunately for Fucker, Williams has been so busily engaged collecting taxes, he has been unable to visit his farm this season, and Fucker has perfect stand of cotton and corn, the only one in the township that l have seen, and my advice to Bill, as friend, is to stay west of the river, as Fucker has for gotten more about niggers, mules and cotton, than he will ever know.
 Poor stands and late spring is not near SO detrimental to the agricul- tural interests of the state as the adjournment sine die of our late legis- lature. They passed some very whole some and good laws, and failed to pass some that should by all means, be on our statnte books today, towit:
 A bill to improve cattle in St. Francis county.
 A bill to prevent the sale of bananas and apples on railroad sidetracks.
 A bill to prevent moving sand from the river.
 And many others equally as inn portant, and by all means, we ought to have constitutional amendment removing the disabilities of senators, so they may become candidates for governor. Arkansas, with senator's disabilities, removed, could furnish a governor in case Governor Little re- signs,
 The past three or four sunshiny days, and the reading of Carrie Ma tion's Hatchet, makes every body in the Garden as happy and contented as prior to Adam eating the apple.
 Respectfully, S. F. SWEET.

Cara of the Boar.

Many excellent boars are put in
dirty pen and confined the year round
without any pasture or yard for them
to exercise in, and by the time they are
old enough to be in their prime they
are ruined by excessive service and
lack of exercise, proper nourishment,
etc. Give him a yard, an acre in ex-
tent If possible, with good strong
fence around it and away from the
rest of the herd, provide him a warm
sleeping place during the cold and
damp weather and treat him in a
manner that will make him think he is
of some Importance and not salute
him with Kick or a club every time
you go around him. His disposition
toward you will be to great extent
what you make 1t, and you can rest
assured that he will appreciate and
enjoy any kindness and rubbing that
you do for him and will not forget all
of the injuries and await his chance
to get even with you.

The accompanying cut shows the
best and cheapest method of keeping

Southern CultivatOr, which says: Any
farmer who is handy with tools can
make the trough and construct the
stanchions. By adopting this method
you save room and each calf gets the
food allotted to it. The calves cannot
be fighting one another off, and you
can save the manure better, also keep
them cleaner. Every farmer who has
