Start Movement for Lieutenant
 Governor.

Little doubt exists that a concerted effort will be made at the next session of the state legislature to alter the constitution so that Arkansas may have a lieutenant governor. Several legislators haze already declared that they would be in favor of such a change in the constitution, expressing the belief that Arkansas would be confronted with no more gubernatorial dilemmas if the state were provided with a lieutenant governor.
 Friends of Senator H. B. Mckenzie of the Twentieth senatorial district state that he is already planning to introduce movement at the next ses- sion of the senate providing for a lieutenant governor.
 Similar expressions are reported to have come from other legislators. As yet, however, none of the legislators have prepared any definite plan to be presented before the general assem- bly,

Notes by Working Farmer.

Home and Farm.
 Work that is not done in time re. quires double the labor to perform afterward and then the results are never so good.
 There is no luck about farming Every success is the result of well-laid plans. and the failures. with rare ex. captions, are because of the lack of them.
 The process of grading up brings one continually nearer to the full blood, which is a source of all satiS- faction and profit in stock feeding
 IL requires faculty of closer ap- plication and study along a single line to make specially go, but when it it does go it usually pays best.
 The man who works so steadily that he never has time to stop and make his plans ahead does not often produce the best results.
 If there were no other argument in favor of keeping stock the single one of helping to market the bulky prod. ucts of the farm should be consid- cred,
 Commercial fertilizers do not per. manently benefit the land. They have their legitimate uses in helping to pro duce larger crops, but they do not make the land any richer. They should be used in connection with oth- CT manure.
 There is a good reason for dairying paying COW is the most profitable of all animals if properly managed. An average COW should produce five or six thousand pounds of milk year. This properly managed is profitable in the home and in the houses of others

Hard to Conceive.

The tremendous size and power of modern machinery may be judged from data regarding the mechanical equipment of the "Lusitania." which now seems bent. at the sacrifice of it's fremen. on beating it's own record The six turbines of this monster ship have .0G0 blades and an equal num-
 Der of spacing pieces between the bludes If the blades and spacing pieces were laid end to end they would extend 1S2 miles. Their total weight is 194,5O0 pounds. and the surface of the blades exposed to the action of steam amounts to 114.000 square feet
 A consumption of one thousand tons of coal per day requires about fifteen hundred pounds per minute. Each of the one hundred firemen is therefore required to feed fifteen pounds of coal per minute into the furnaces.-EX.

DR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Beard of Health.

What shall I eat?" is the daily in. Qniry the physician is met with. do not hesitate to say that in my judg- ment large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improp- erly prepared food. My personal expe- rience with the fully-cooked food. known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of it's merits.
 From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, paipitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last sum mer l was led to experiment person. ally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cows milk. In a short time after 1 con- meneed it's use, the disagreeable symp- toms disappeared, my hearts action became steady and normal, the func. tions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as sound. ly and as well as in my youth.
 q look upon Grape-Nuts as a per. feet food, and no one can gainsay but that il has most prominent place in a rational. scientific system of feed Ing. Any one whe uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which :. is manu. faetured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth" Read The Road to Wellville.'' in pkgs.

"Electric fans blowing on blocks of eel Come and shiver"
 Such was the announcement of the meeting of the Sunday Club at the First Presbyterian Church Sunday af- ternoon at o'clock, and those who went expecting relief from the heat of he day were not disappointed, for the natural temperature was pulled down .o- 45 degrees, and the men who ct first took off their coats, put them on aagin in a hurry.
 About ten electric fans of the ordi- nary office variety were placed around the room and in front of each fan was pyramid of ice in tub. and the artificial frigidity was waited to the audience by force of the electric pro- Dellers. Something like roo pounds of ice was used, and it is the intention to adopt a similar cooling scheme in the church proper

Advertising for Contracts.

The Penitentiary Board is now ad yertising for bids for convict labor foi one year. the bids to be considered by the board at it's regular monthly meet ing the first Monday in June. The Reaves contract expires before that time
 The board asks for bids on 200 con. victs for one years time. The last Reaves contract was for one year only. Prior to a year ago, however the contract was for two years.
 A great deal of interest attaches te the consideration of bids by the board as the result of the controversy in politics over the convict lease system During the recent Democratic cam paign Attorney General " F. Kirby then candidate for governor, said in one of his speeches that the board awarded the convict labor contract at a price which was considerably oweI than could have been secured from Little Rock parties,

Dairy Dots.
Texas Farmer.

1tSdS r dTlleI.
 Good milk cows are seldom in good fle sh, They are not flesh makers, but milk machines, or should be.
 Kindness in the dairy not only in dicates a kind heart, but the self control of good common sense.
 Plants for making condensed milk are becoming more common. Several have recently been established in Vermont
 A good dairyman, whether in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana or Texas, is usually a prosperous man and his farm is a paying proposition.
 Cream of the proper acid or ripe condition churns more easily than sweet cream. because the acid rem ders it less compact.
 good COW is a profitable invest nIent, aside from the increase, which should represent the profit. This can be said also of the hen, the mare and the eve.
 Carefully kept statistics kept by dairy associations in the southwest part of Scotland during the winter of 1907 shows the cost Of producing a gallon of milk. ten pounds, is about SIP cents
 The principal dairy breeds are the Jerseys, Holsteins, Guernsey Ayr shire and Brown Swiss. All of which have their good qualities and their admirers
 A great many keep cows for profit who would do better if they would adopt dairy principles otherwise their theoretical methods will prove a disappointment.
 Rich cream is more easily churned because the particles of fat are more numerous or closer together. which renders them more easily brought to, gethar as butter Good cream is from 30 to 70 per cent fat.

Just So Long Only.

The big packers are not paying present high prices for fat cattle just because they want to or because of a desire to befriend the grower There must be a reason for present prices and one which the packers can not circumvent. The fact is that there is shortage of cattle suitable for slaughtering purposes and this, and this alone. is responsible for present values. Prices will keep up just as long as supply is short of demand San Antonio Stockman-Farner.
