Arkansas was startled Tuesday morning when the news was circulat. ed throughout the state that Acting Governor Allen II.

 ernor on his return. who will be pres ident of the senate, how the money can be secured 10 pay for the extra session, and many similar questions No answers to these questions were forthcoming from the authentic source Acting Governor Hamiter would make no statement, and At torney General Kirby would give nc opinion as to any of the legal ques tions involved other than to ask the question, "Who is this man Pindall that proposes to revoke an action of the acting governor of Arkansas?' a question which is interpreted to mean that the attorney general holds that governor Pindall has not the power to revoke the call for the special ses sion

Sergeant, how far are you going to

Jordan, without looking up, replied
Farther than you can drive your

The horseman raised Jordan's hat
rim with his sword scabbard, and pleas

Professors Stewart and Atwood, Of
the West Virginia Experiment Station,
last year conducted some careful tests
to determine whether it is profitable to
feed milk COWS grain On grass. With
out going into the details Of these ex-
periments we quote the conclusions as
follows:
"This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain in
feeding the grain to the COWS while at
pasture. 1t is true that the cows
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as far
as the milk yield was concerned the
increased flow vas produced at an ac-
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum-
married., and from these in comparison
with their own Investigations the au-
thors conclude "that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high in price it Is
not a profitable practice to feed grain
to COWS at pasture. 1t Is true that more
milk is obtained and the cows hold up
their yield better and remain in better
flesh when receiving the grain rations,
but unie ordinary circumstances there
Is no direct profit from the grain feed
ing, as the increased production usual
ly costs more than it can be sold for"

Work.

A good test of a mans Christianity
is to examine his apple barrel from
top to bottom.
A mar may be a good woodchopper,
but tina is no sign hat he knows how
to prune trees.
An ak and q saw in the hands of an
ignorant man cause more damage to
the fruit crops of this land than all the
birds that are Matched.
Fruit sells best when properly grad
ed. The best will bring q better price
and the lower grades will generally
bring as good a price as the entire lot
would if mixed.
For summer pruning of trees the best
time is from the 18th OF June to the
10th Of July, just when the sap is run
ming freely. When the tree is In leaf
you can tell better what to cut out.
Some people imagine that all that is
necessary to have a good orchard Is to
plant a variety Of good trees and "let
'em rip" It generally takes years to
discover their mistake, but they finally
discover it.

Leg Weakness.

Leg weakness is due to chicks be-
coming heavy rapidly, SO that the
weight of their body is too much for
their legs. This is not always an alarm
ing condition, for it denotes that the
chicks are growing fast, and If careful
ly guarded and fed properly they will
pull through all right. The cause
arises from heavy feeding and forcing,
which carries the chicks forward so
rapidly as to cause the legs to fail.
Change the food to a light diet Of veg
etables and feed bone meal in the food.
They should also be well protected
against the dampness, and the difficult
ty will soon pass away. Leg weakness
is nearly always due to rapid growth of
the body or from lack of uniformity of
heat in brooders, if the chicks are small
enough to be kept in a brooder. Crowd
ing and pressing together to keep warm
at night is q main cause Of little chicks
having leg weakness. No great alarm
need be entertained unless the trouble
continues for too long a time, but
change the food and keep the birds
dry,

FACTS ABOUT NAILS,
Simple Things that Play an Impor
ant Part in Everyday Life.

Simple Things that Play an Import
ant Part in Everyday Life.
The first nails, undoubtedly, were
thorns Of the locust tree. I have seen
them eight inches long m as hard as
iron. The use of fish bones was COM
mon before Noah's time, and in all
probability the first Of the commodores
built his raft-scow with them. They
were as long and strong as our metal
string bolts. Wooden pins were en-
ployed also, being driven through holes
burned by hot irons before there We're
crude augers to bore them.
We smart Americans were cutting
iron nails by machinery 100 years ago
at the rate of Q a minute to the ma
chine. The great wire nail industry
started in 1886, and is now Of colossal
Importance. Before cut nails were in
troduced all nails were hand forged.
We should have a hard time trying
to get along without nails. They are
SO common that, like many other arti-
eles IL common use, our makers Of en-
c~yclopedias regard them as Unworthy
of mention. In the latest specialized
work (seven large volumes) on car
pentry and building, there is nothing
about nails.
Is anything of more Importance than
a proper selection of the little bits OF
metal that are supposed to bind Sc
curely together all the lumber used in
the construction and decoration of q
house?
Fifty years ago there were upward
Of 5000 nails with different names, all
of which We're perfectly understood by
the persons manufacturing or using
them. These included horseshoe nails
brads and tacks, all kinds Of spikes
clasp nails, clout nails, counterclout
nails, pail, deck, scupper, mop, chise.
point, etc.
To-day we have common fence, sheet
ing, casting, box, flooring, finishing
fine finishing, light barrel, lining, roof
ing, single, Stating, clinch, boat, coop
er, tobacco, zinc, copper, timed, anG
galvanized nails, and numerous brands
of brads, tacks, and spikes.
