Cleaning Down Quilts or Pillows.

Down quilts and small feather pill
lows which have become soiled can be
washed at home, with very little
'rouble or expense. First choose a
good day, for the drying is half the
battle, and you need plenty of sun
shine and gentle wind. Use luke
warm water and one of the many pure
soaps that are in the market just now
and avoid a washboard 1t will not
be Of any help and it will certainly
pull your quilt or pillow out of shape.
Rub thoroughly with the soap, squeez,
ing and patting with your hands as
you might fine wooden underwear.
Rinse in two or three clear waters
and hang up to dry in the sunlight
A dash of salt in the water will keep
the colors from fading.

 For instance, thought l would try some Postum Food Coffee to see what At breakfast I didn't like 1t and supper proved the same, so 1 naturally con. cluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought 1t right along.
 "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying 25c package and told her l couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum.
 I know just what is the natter she said, you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates. so choice that you will never abandon it. particularly when you see the great gain in health Well. I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since have gotten rid of my old time stom- aeh and kidney troubles.

IMPROVED FARM IMPLEMENTS.

The time has come when the South ern farmer must use improved farm machinery. and not depend on cheap and Hnskilled labor
 There is more money to the farmer to pay good wages for a hand who is able to drive two or three mules al q time than there is to hire d cheap hand 10 only drive one mule
 It has never occurred to great many of the Southern farmers that d man can blow two rows al round with improved machinery and do bet ter work than he can 10 only blow one row at d round with the imple- ments now being used
 We can not afford to travel any longer in the ruts travelled by our forefathers, but must change our plans and so utilize our time as to make bring the greatest result pos sible.
 me great trusts and combines of our country have been using improved machinery for years. and they have doubled and thribled their income by so doing, and We. the farmers, must adopt the same course Of procedure We can not, We will not. waste our time aiy longer by trying to use the unimproved and insufficient farm i'm plements. but we the farmers. will rise to the necessity of the hour and use such implements as will make cheap negro labor undesirable and the foreign immigration detestable.
 The Western farmer is able 10 make money and pay his farm labor twice what we are paying them in the South not because of the superior advantages of his soil, or his mar kets, but because he uses such imple- ments as will enable him to do twice as much work as is now being done by the Southern laborer
 Wake up. you horny-handed sons of our unsurpassed South look about you. gather information and dream no more of the cheap and unproftaDle negro. or of the foreign immigrant but of improved implements and meth ods.-Union News

Cattle Had HYdrophohia.

Some time since a fatal disease de- veloped among the cattle in and around Midland, and farmers and vet. erinarians were puzzled and alarmed. The general opinion was that the dis ease was hydrophobia, as a rabid dog had a short time before bitten several dogs and COWS before it had been kill ed. Recently it was decided that all dogs should be kept tied. and since that time there has been a remarkable falling off in the deaths among the cattle.

Sheriffs in Session.

The Arkansas Sheriff's Association was in session this week at the Pu' laski county court house. They were unanimous in their stand for the en- forcment of the pistol and liquor laws of the state as passed or amended by the last General Assembly. They also passed resolutions asking the sheriffs of other states to aid in the capture and extradition of escaped criminals from Arkansas and pledged themselves statto aid the sheriffs of ather states to work likewise to aid the sherifrs of other states. It was also the sense of the meeting that every sheriff of Arkansas should take particular pains to notify the public press the moment a crime is committed.s The sheriffs believe that publicity will aid in tracking criminals instead of acting as a handicap.

 great many persons are gifted in grumbling at what others do. in what they do themselves. We would not want monopoly of all meanness in our acts or dispositions.
 We should not overwork ourselves. but go along quietly doing our best and trusting that If we do that the Lord will see to His part and not leave us to want.
 If the farmers have enough corn planted we cant help but believe if they have good seasons from this on they will gather a good crop, which they should not waste, but put into hog meat.
 The farmers should be careful in their savings It might fill up blank in their losses. Every end should be made to meet in this way.
