The brush from all cuttings will be disposed of in such way as to cause the least possible danger from fire. When residents in iiie Forest need green timber for im- provements aud are not able to purchase and have not sufficient supply upon their own lands, 1t may be obtained from Forest of- ficers in reasonable amounts un- der free use. Dead timber and pine knots, if actually needed for dome estic use, may hereafter be taken without permit. Timber so taken may not, however, be sold.
 Peop.e living in the Arkansas Forest, who have complaints to make or who do not understand the regulations, should apply to one ot the Rangers or write to the Supervisor at Mena for re- dress or information; and those living in the Ozark Forest should likewise apply to the Supervisor at Harrison.

BENEFIT TO CHICKEN GROWERS
Chickens That Score High at Show
 Bring Fancy Prices.

A real opportunity for our To- cal poultry breeders will afford itself at the coming poultry show in having tor the first time all birds entered competently scored under the American Perfection Standard Rules and regulations. This will bring out many fine birds from unexpected quarters, as 1t did at DeQueen, and always does. Dr. Black of that place, had a lot of White Orpiugtons and only entered them alter much persuasion, and after they were scored-found a dozen or more scoring between 90 and 94, jump ing the value from $l. SC to $10.00 and $25 % per bird.
 It will pay our Polk county breeders to 'dress up" their stock and bring in large entries and if the scoring proves up some fine stock as it will. the birds will bring price, or make them eggs worth $5 % to Sl0.00 per setting.
 This follows elsewhere and 1t will pay all to ''get busy"
 Sec. E. N. Hopkins will an- swer all questions fully as to en- tries, putting birds in shape for the show, crossing the best stock and any other points.

COUNTY SCHOOL
 TEACHERS MEET
Held a Social Session Last Night and Today Discussion of Vital Educa- cational Problems Large
 Attendance.

The first session of the Polk County Teachers Association was held last Friday evening in the Hlgnl School Auditorium. A number of Mena's public spirited and hospIt- able citizens turned out to meet and welcome the visiting teachers.
 An address of welcome by Judge J. D. Shaver, in which he made plain the interest the citizens of Mena have in the educational affairs Of the county, was replied to by MT. Hamiter on behalf of the county teachers. A musical program, con sisting of solo by Miss Eva Covert and chorus by number of High School pupils, trained by Miss Bar ton, was much enjoyed. A farewell address by the retiring president, Professor w. T. Adams, fC flowed by an inaugural address by the newly elected president, Professor E. D. Means, closed the exercises. After the program was finished, the meet ing was turned into an informal social.
 Saturday morning an enthusiastic band of teachers assembled at eight o'clock and discussion of live sub- jeets was immediately taken up. An interesting and helpful discussion of the moral culture occupied some time. A discussion of the enforcing of the compulsory education law :, carried on by several experienced teachers, gave some light on this i'm portant question.
 The last question taken up was ex- ceedingly interesting to the teachers of the county, concerning, as 1t did, the subject of uniformity of text books and course of study. Many good ideas and devices were pro- posed, all of which could be taken advantage of by the teachers. This occupied the time until dinner time. The following teachers and yisi- tors were present;
 Louis Wheelis, J. B. Earle, A. T. Hamiter, k. w. Hamby, J. D. Hol- man. L. M. Bland, John Trainer. Judge Shaver. M. B. Legate, w. G. Johnson, w. T. Adams, E. M. Means, J. W. Ryals, F. M.

40 the time approaches for removing
young plants from the fats In the
house or from the hOtbed outside, an
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 week before transplanting
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 un-
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are rransplanted di.
rect from the fat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained 9
height Of from four to six inches OF
more When facilities are at hand Q
better way is to first transplant then
TO a cold frame, which is the same al
a 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
still better way is to transplant thu
young plants at the appearance o
their second or third set Of true Leaves

In filling 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 I'm the sack
filling apparatus shown here, the in
vention Of Washington man. This
apparatus was designed primarily to
provide device by which bags could
be quickly and economically filled by
one man. A hopper is provided, to
which a pulley is attached at one end.
At the front are the frames for sup
porting the bags after the later have
been fastened in position. The grain

bags is shoyeled into the hopper, from
which IL 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 tribe AT each
turn Of the pulley. allowing the grain
to settle, filling the bags to their ut
most capacity. This does away with
the ordinary laborious method formerly
employed by hand. II is claimed that
the bags can be filled in one-fourth the
time heretofore required and by one
man.
