The neglected colt or calf will prove
proftless.
Cattle will never do well in the same
pasture as sheep.
Wood charcoal should always be
kept in the hog pen.
How are the farm implements? ANY
of them need repairs?
To improve live stock, requires in
telligence and thought.
1t is a good plan to have the horses
and COWS clean up their managers after
each feed.
There is such a thing as overfeeding
Feed stock all the food they will as
simulate, but not more.
Don't have a lot Of manure lying
in the yards all summer. 1t will lose
just about half Of its value by fall.
It is better to feed the COWS fodder
and hay after milking, as it keeps
the dust down. Feed the grain before
milking.
Don't plant poor, weak seed corn
next spring. 1t is time and money
thrown away. There is plenty of good.
strong seed to be had.
Farmers must read in order to keen
up with the times. There has been rs
great an evolution in agriculture as in
any other line Of business.
Do you follow crop rotation on your
farm? It's the only way to properly
manage a farm for best results In pro-
ducing big crops and maintaining the
fertility.
The best feed for making muscle is
oats They are not heating nor very
fattening. The young calves should be
given oats In order to give them mus

bags is shoveled into the hopper, from
which it drops by gravity into the bags.
AS the grain descends the bags are
shaken at regular intervals by an ar
rangement attached to the pulley. The
bags are in this way automatically
lifted off the ground a trife at each
turn Of the pulley, allowing the grain
to settle, filing the bags to their ut
most capacity. This does away with
the ordinary Iaborious method formerly
employed by hand. 1t is claimed that
the bags can be filed In one-fourth the
time heretofore required and by one
man.

In filing sacks with grain, -four, ce-
ment, ETC., it has been found impossible
for one man to do the work. A second
laborer is required to hold open the
mouth Of the bag while the other does
the filling. The necessity Of the ex-
ira laborer is eliminated in the sack
filling apparatus shown here, the in
vention Of a Washington man. This
apparatus was designed primarily to
provide a device by which bags could
be quickly and economically filed by
one man. A hopper is provided, TO
which a pulley is attached at one end.

porting the bags after the later have
been fastened in position. The grain

A Line of Talk.

Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one afternoon. The subject of
the conversation was a lawn party
which was to take place the next day
Both were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
In the midst of this important CONVEX
sation masculine voice interrupted, ask
ing humbly what number he had. The
lack of reply did not suuelch the inquir-
er, for he asked again for the number.
One of the girls became indignant and
scornfully asked:

Industry That Has Not Suffered.

while times have affected nearly all
manufacturing enterprises, the corset
business has not suffered" said a sales
man of feminine wearing apparel. The
company | represent has been making
corsets for the last tifty-five years and
never had two months like January and
February of this year.
Buyers are corset mad. The demand
is keeping the machines working day
and night. The change in dresses and
suits has resulted in this: The corset
that would do two or three years ago
will not do now, and more high priced
corsets are being sold. kansas City

wash Eggs for Market.

1t would in a sense be better to
wash eggs sent to market than to send
them in dirty condition. But washed
eggs have no keeping qualities. The
water appears to dissolve the gela-
tinous substance which seals the pores
Of the shell. and air is thus admitted
and soon starts decomposition. The
better way to treat dirty eggs is to
take a wooden rag only slightly mois-.
tened with water and gently rub OF

TranspIantinr.


AS the time approaches for removing
young plants from the flats In the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and will not be
able to thrive under the rigor of early
spring planting without treatment.
They must become hardened or accli-
mated, to the new conditions.
At least a week before TRANSFORMING
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance Of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part Of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
sistant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree of temperature I'M
der dry than under moist conditions
Most seedlings are transplanted di-
rect from the fat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained a
height of from four to six inches or
more. When facilities are at hand a
better way is to first transplant them
to cold frame, which is the same as
q hotbed without the heat In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
er temperature and are still protected
from frost of nights and on cold days.
A still better way is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance Of
their second or third set Of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.
Dfskinx Alfalfa.
The work of disking alfalfa requires
a little bit of skill. The disk must be
set just so it will cut the ground suf-
f1ciently and do as little damage as
possible. A little experience will en-
able any Intelligent man to do the very
best work in the field. There are times
and conditions when the spring tooth
harrow may do all right, but gener-
ally nothing but a good sharp disk with
enough big horses in front and a com
petent man on the seat can do the
work. l use only the smoothing har-
row in the early spring. but after each
moving 1 use a disk or spring tooth,
whichever 1 think best, always finish
ing with spike tooth, so as to leave
the field in the very best possible con-
dition for the growing crop. 1t is a
real pleasure to see the alfalfa start
out anew and grow about one inch a
day on an average-Denver Field and

 Hold Meeting.
HAVE DEFINITE PLANS

 fled to be Present.

At an Important iOint meeting of the executive committee Of tho Pine Bluff Board of Trade and the execu- tive committee from the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad Company. held yesterday afto rnoon at the Board Of Trade headquarters on Chestnut street, 1t was d, cidtd to hold a mass meeting tonight at & o'clock at the Hoard of Trade rocms to discuss and outline plans for Inc build nS of the North and south r.;ilr"ad and the rail- road and wagon fridge across tho Arkansas river at tAis point.
 The executive committees have def mite plans to present to the stock holders of the railroad and all other interested business men and citizens tonight. which will, if carried out, re- suit ill the immediate building of tho North and South railroad and tho Arkansas river bridge.
 Secretary J. l.. Caldwell. of the Board of Trade, sent out notices to all the stockholders yesterday. re- quCsting them to he present at the meeting tonight Their presenc is most earnestly desired and all other business men and property owners who are interested in the prote ction and upbuilding of Pine Bluff, espee cially in the matter of adding railroad facilities, are invited to be on hand.
 The meeting of the Board of Tradc tonight should be attended by every man in Pine Bluff who has the city's welfare at heart. Thomas A. Bell. of St. Louis, who has the contract for the building of the railroad and bridge, recently visited this city and announced his intention of carrying out the work. He was accompanied by a prominent St. Louisian, who stated that he represented financial interests that were ready to take the bonds for the railroad and bridge. MT. Bell has returned to St. Louis and will not be present tonight, but will return here when called. The proposition is to be fully explained tonight at the mass meeting and let every business man attend.
 Pine Bluff is now in position to secure the long wanted badly needed railroad and bridge and any lack of interest on the part of those who arc vitally interested and who cannot af- ford to let the opportunity to secure 1t slip by, may interfere with immedi ate commencement of actual construc- ton work.

Albert Fergu- son is the best soft shoe dancer this city has ever seen, and we hardly think New York has ever witnessed a better terpsichorean act than he gave last night. The brothers gave a burlesque on one of the old-time melo-dramas that was excruciatingly funny. AS concert violinist Miss Bradley shows years of study. Her technique is unquestionably perfect, while her shading and meditation is simply fine. The old fiddlers were on again last night and made a decided hit in their new characters. Little Walter Dennis took the honors Of the night. With tiny fiddle tucked beneath his chin, legs crossed and foot tapping in approved old fiddler style. he was an easy winner and Messrs. Belcher, Smith, Hunt, Yost and Parnell were as pleased as the little one when he was decided the winner without vote

BUSY SESSION OF
 THE LEGISLATURE
Electricity Bill Is Passed in House. Turner Bill Goes Through and Tax Commission Bill Reported.

Little Rock, April 21.-(SpeciaD- Both branches of the legislature yes terday afternoon had busy sessions The house started off with contin- uation of the debate on the Rowland bill for the appropriation of $2O,000 for the eradication of the cattle tick and to cooperate with the govern ment and extending the quarantine southward in the state and increas- ing the value of cattle in the northern part of th1xstate. The representatives of this section opposed the bill as 1t applied only to the northern coun- ties. They stated similar appropri- ation might be given them to fight the boil weevil. The champions of the tick bill stated they would be pleased to do this if the government would start a campaign ill the state against the boil weevil, like it had against the cattle tick. When voted upon the bill received more votes than those opposing it could muster, 52 to 35, but as it takes two-thirds vote to pass an appropriation bill, it was declared lost.
 The house passed the senate bill permitting cities to buy and sell elec- tricity, 7S to 2. This bill was passed to give towns around Russellville the right to buy electricity generated at the dam being put in there and sell it again to consumers. The Craw- ford county levee district bill was read twice. The bill to raise the sal ary of the assistant attorney general from $500 to $500 per annum was read again and ordered engrossed. The bill originally provided for a sal ary Of $2.25o. but the house defeated and reconsidered 1t, and now favors the compromise increase.
