SOME TALK OF OPPO.
 SETON TO DONAGHEY
John Il. finemOn Mentioned as Probable
 Candidate for Governor

Llulue ROCK, NOV. 2.-DuflnS the past few days there has been some talk of opposition to Gov ernor Donaghey for collection, but it does not come from sources which even expe ct their man could W in if he entered the | race. The talk is again that Hon. John H. Hinemon will make the race for governor on the State Wide Prohibition platform.
 This annou ncement is made in the face of the positive refus- al of Mr. Hinemon to consider the proposition after seeing the handwriting on the wall in his last campaign. The people who usually conduct the prohibition campaign say they are more than satisfied with Governor Donaghey and desire no change, so who would back the proposed candidate outside of a few of the most disgru ntled politicians who have never seen anything good in the actiong of Governor Dona- ghey because he could not be controlled is a mystery.
 It would hardly seem possible that a man of the sense and pride shown by Mr. Hinemon would hardly consent to be candidate after a dozen or more 2 were solicited to run by the same crowd besore he was asked It would seem strange too that they should expect a man to win who was overwhelmingly defeat ed two years ago, tried to be el- ected in the State Democratic Convention later as a delegate at large from Arkansas and failed, being satisfied with his selection as presidential elector Then when the presidential electors met and went to decide who should be the messenger to car ry the ballot to Washington; MT. Hmemon admitted he would like to be chosen. yet the electors
 sent another.
 Absolutely unsuccessful in the honors he has sought for in the past, it is not liable that the peo. pie will turn from the Governor who does things ssand has made good, to set him out without a second term. The policy of Governor Donaghey on the state and in getting the different sec tions of the state to put up for the new agricultural schools and branch insane asylum, has made him the strongest governor the state has ever known and the people will stand by him.

CARDS AND DoNHNoEs
Play the Principal Occupation of
Turkish Army OAicers.

Very seldom If he can help 1t does
the Turkish army officer appear on
horseback, and when not on duty he
looks upon his horse merely as a
method of locomotion. He has no
affection or understanding for the
horse. The superior officers have no
horses of their own, and being gener-
ally bad riders, and without military
qualities which would raise them in
the estimation of their men, they are
neither loved nor respected by them.
Married officers keep entirely to them
selves, such things as invitations to.
one another's houses being unknown,
and the only occasions upon which
officers meet together at all are on the
days of assembly, when they are
called together for the Sultan's birth
day oraaccession celebrations.
The pay of the lower ranks is as
small as that of the superior officers
is high. The young cavalry officer
who makes a good impression on his
entry into the service soon falls to
pieces through want of occupation
either of mind or body. The greater
part of the morning and evening he
sits over his coffee and cards or DOM
inoes. There are but few newspapers,
and those that do exist are so severely
censored by the Government that they
contain little but weather statistics,
gazettes and announcements Of the
bestowal of decorations.
What the Turkish officer really
thoroughly enjoys is gramophone.
Instruments playing the waltzes and
reproducing the music hall songs of
all the cities of Europe are in the
greatest possible request, chiefly be-
cause they make music without any
personal trouble. Chicago News.

Alfalfa Growing in the South.

The following article was written
from Auburn, Ala, July, 1908, by
Mr.. Joseph Wing:
But alfalfa they can grow here,
even on these sandy red ridges How?
Why, by lining heavily. We used to
think that alfalfa in the South re-
quired a certain time of sowing, re-
quired this, that and the other thing.
1t is yet true that there is right and
wrong way to sow it, but we had not
guessed the one thing that made sue
cess certain, and without which all
the elaborate preparations in the
world resulted in failure. We had
not learned then that lime is the key
that unlocks the knotty problem.
True, we had said timidly slime, %
but we had not said how much. A
little lime, we had said. Now we
know that alfalfa wants-not little
lime, not even enough lime, but "too
much lime," as one enthusiastic lime
advocate expressed it, ~1ust put on
''too much lime" and sow alfalfa
seed at almost any time of the year
and you will get alfalfa. OF course
If the land is also made rich you will
get bigger alfalfa. But with "toc
much lime" you get alfalfa and nc
grasses, no weeds to trouble, that is
the point. Without the lime you gel
nothing alfalfa bacteria starves
the alfalfa becomes sickly, failure re.
suits. We did think that fall seeding
was the essential thing. We still
think August or September seeding
best for the South, but Mr.. Jones

GRATING.

Two things must be carefully
sought after in grating. One is to
secure the growing Of the scions, and
the other is to hasten the matter Of
healing Of the wounds. If the work
Is properly dons a tree will rarely
break where the union takes place
between the STOCK and the scion. In
fact the limb is somewhat stronger at
that point after the wound is properly
healed than anywhere else. You will
notice that the limb is larger at the
place OF union than either above or
below, due to the fact that the DOWN
ward flow OF the elaborate sap Is
checked atthis place and spread out
over the wound and thus makes the
limb stronger here, than anywhere
else.-Farmers Home Journal.

A Worrisorne Weed.

The common name is chickweed.
The botanical name is Alsine media
in Britton, and Browns illustrated
Flora; but in Gray's Manual it is
Stellaria media. It is a pernicious
weed, but so often neglected and
omitted from lists of troublesome
weeds. probably because OF its small
size and inability to prove very de-
structive to larger cultivated plants.
It is an annual plant, and In theory
annual plants can be exterminated
in one season by preventing them
from producing a crop of seeds by
which to perpetuate themselves.
In the case of this plant, how
ever, the theory is not easily ap-
piled, says Country Gentleman, be-
cause of the peculiar characters of
the pest. It is very hardy, rapid in
its development, tenacious of life,
persistent, and quite unobtrusive and
harmless in appearance. Late or

MUCH THE YOUNG TREES.

The mulching of young trees ard
shrubs serves two purposes-it pro-
tects them from sudden changes and
from drying out, and also fertilizes
and makes moist the soil about their
roots. Forest leaves are splendid
mulch, but leaves in the garden and
orchard usually blow away before the
winter is over. There is not enough
brush and other material to hold
them. Where leaves are available,
they may be placed about the shrub
berry and covered with brush or 9th 7r
heavy material to hold them in place.
In the absence of suitable brush, man.
ure will serve the purpose. Coarse
manure, consisting largely of straw
or cornstalks, or both. makes excel
lent material for mulching, and it is
nearly always available on the gen.
eral farm at the beginning of winter
when the mulch should be applied

CARING ron Butgs.

When tulips, hyacinths and other
bulbs are through blooming, and the
last blossoms have faded, pick off the
seed pods and if possible leave the
bulbs in the beds until the tops begin
to turn yellow. This gives the bulbs
a chance to ripen before digging them
up.
If it is wished to plant the bed
with something else the moment the
bulb blossoms fade, pick off the seed
pods as before, and dig the bulbs up
Immediately, using spade, thrusting
it deep into the ground below the
bulb, so as to pry it up. This should
be done carefully, because the stems
of tulips especially are brittle and
break easily just above the bulb.
When all the bulbs have been dug,
take them to convenient place in the
back yard and heel them in, leaving
them until the tops are dry. BY heel
ing in is meant to dig trench about
six inches deep and as long as neces-
sary, lay the bulbs in it, tops up, ir, a
single row, ana cover only the roots
and bulbs with moist earth. In about
two or three weeks, or when the tops
are dry, dig up the bulbs and clean
them. Remove all the old roots, tops
and bulb scales and place the clean
bulbs in shallow boxes, leaving them
to dry thoroughly in the sun before
storing them away. When dry, put
them away in cool, dry place, where
they will not be reached by the sun.
Although these suggestions apply
principally to tulips, because they are
the most widely used of spring bulbs,
the same treatment should be given
hyacinths and narcissi. Where the
bulbs are left in the ground perma-
nently do not pun the tops until they
begin to turn yellow.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE BEACH
PLUM.

ELUMs
There is fruit well known on
Long Island that is so attractive to
our New England neighbors that they
work overtime and devise ingenious
schemes of rivaling the wooden nut
meg to gather crop that Long ISL
and has not only in abundance, but
with high quality. and that is the
beach plum. 1t grows with a remark
able luxuriance in the sand close to
the salt water on both the north and
south shores of the island, but where
bushes have been carried home as
souvenirs and playfully planted in
somebody's flower bed or vacant place
in the front yard, the beach plum has
made a bigger and stronger growth
ard produced even better fruit than
in what seems to be its native habi-
tat.
Il some of the owners of so-called
waste land would spend few dollars
and cover few acres with beach
plums they would soon make them
selves richer and the populace happy,
because while the beach plum is not
particularly pleasing to the palate ex-
cept when dead ripe, it is easily a
peer to any fruit or berry as a pre-.
serve, and fills a long felt want dur
ing our trying winter season. III. B.

Coarse VS.. Finely Ground Corn and
Cob Meal.

w. A. c., Golddale, writes: Does
1t pay to feed corn ground with the
cobs when the most of the cob is in
pieces nearly as large as grains of
corn? ! am feeding it to cows and
young cattle.
How about Red Poll cattle where
grass is scarce for milk and beef?
Answer: We are inclined to favor
the feeding Of corn and cob meal.
because in our experiments to date
1t has seemed to give us about the
same results as corn meal, and when
corn goes over fifty cents busheI,
1t is such an expensive feed that it
must be used with the greatest econ
omy. Possibly you can so adjust
your mill as to grind your corn finer.
We either wish it ground down very
fine, a result that can be brought
about by running it through the mill
second time, or else broken and left
very coarse. We are feeding split
corn to our beef cattle and they eat a
large per cent. of the cobs without
any apparent injury, but when the
cobs are only partially ground down
and left sharp and angular, they will
irritate the digestive tract to some
extent.
Red Poll cattle make a very good
dual purpose breed. They are not
especially noted for their rustling
qualities, but will likely give you as
good satisfaction as any of the so
called dual purpose breeds. Cattle
to be successful must be well fed and
cared for, and while you may not
have a large amount of native pas
lures, you can use soiling crops and
the silo to supplement your natural
grass to good advantage. Knoxville

So let our Joy at having the prob
lem solved at last swallow up our cha
grin at having guessed wrongly for
so long a time. We are glad to have
the thing solved at last, and to know
finally the secret of successful alfalfa
culture in the South. It is, first, land
not wet; next, land filed with lime;I
then manure or fertilizers to make
the land rich; then seed, preferably
In the fall, in good seedbed, and the
result is certain to be alfalfa. And
how much lime? No one knows that
definitely as yet 1t seems that four
tons of fresh burned lime to the acre
is none too much and eight or ten
tons of ground limestone. But land
that is worth now SIS per acre may
by the application of this lime and
fertilizer be made to yield six crops
of alfalfa hay year, worth, here to
feed to the plantation stock at least
SIS per ton. Say four tons to the
acre only, yielding $50, and with no
need of sowing next year. So, little
by little, the problems down here are
being solved. Let me repeat again,
to stop the interminable flow of ques-
lions: If your field Of alfalfa is being
devoured by crab grass, it probably
needs lime, much lime, and also phos-
.phorus. With enough lime and phos-
phorus in the soil alfalfa will be free
from crab-grass and weeds. hope

lime will be used in year in this
