ASKS DIVISION CT
]. B. MOORE LANDS
FRIENDLY SUIT FILED
&. W. MOORE ASKS THAT 1,GG6
ACRES BE PARTITIONED
AMONG HEIRS.

A suit, which is said to be of a
friendly nature, brought for the pur-
pose of dividing 1866 acres of land
and city property belonging to the
estate of J. B. Moore, deceased, was
filed by Bruce & Bruce as attorneys
for f. W. Moore in the Faulkner
chancery court today. Mrs. Matte
Moore, the widow, and Mrs. Lille Ra-
per and j. o. Moore, the other heirs,
are named as defendants, and, for the
purpose of dividing the one-fourth in
terest of the estate in what is known
as the cotton yard property, a large
block on the east side, the firms of
Frauenthal & Schwarz, Martin & Har-
ton and S. G. Smith are made defend
ants.
1t is stated that the lands involved
in the partition suit are those about
which there is no conflict among the
heirs and in which they will share ac-
cording to the inheritance laws of the
state. The petition asks that commits
sioners be appointed to divide these
lands according to the interests Of the
heirs, but the cotton yard property is
asked to be ordered sold fol di ia;on
of the estate.
Prior to his death on June 27, 1910,
Mr.. Moore decided large portion of
his real estate to his wife, Mrs. Matte
Moore, and his son, j. Otis Moore. 1t
has been reported that the other heirs
would seek by legal means to share in
this property also, but none of it is
said to be included in the partition
suit brought by f. w. Moore today.

FEW INCREASES
IN STATE PENSIONS

Little Rock, July 15.-The state
pension board is already receiving
pension applications, and proofs of
continued indigency from the various
counties. About half dozen of he
smaller counties have already report
ed, and in these there do not appear
to be many increases. The board viii
meet on the first Monday in August
for The consideration Of claims, and it
is expected to take about two weeks
to finish the work. There will be this
time about $550,000 for distribution
among the pensioners.

A REAL TIME SAVER.

Before the spring work on the farm
begins in earnest 1t would be an ex-
cellent idea for the man Of the house
to make for his wife a freless cooker
1t will not only be a great saver OF
fuel. but will save energy and strength
for the wife. especially when the heat
of summer comes. by eliminating
hours over Il hot range. which to many
women il one Of the hardest and most
exhausting features Of their work.
With the hay box. dinner can be
started over the morning fire, put into
the cooker and left there without fur
ther attention until time to serve the
meal. when 1t can be taken up and en-
joyed by the housekeeper without be-
Ing herself half cooked and too tired
to eat. The cooker has still another
point i'm its favor. which alone ought
to commend 1t. 1t Is the fact that in
cooking none Of the flavor Of the meat
or vegetable can escape. as in ordi-
nary boiling on the top of a stove;
hence the dishes so cooked are espe-
cially savory. Oatmeal can be started
tine evening before and after a night
In the cooker II hard to beat for break
fast. While the ordinary homemade
cooker can he used only for things
which are to be boiled or stewed. by
the introduction of soapstones brown
ing can be accomplished.

SETTING AN ORCHARD.

Doubtless quite q number Of our
readers will be setting an orchard for
the first time this spring. and a few
suggestions may be helpful. With a
view to saving ground the novice Of
ten makes the mistake of setting the
trees too close together. We have
known Of cases where they were set
twice as thick in the row as intended

the right distance apart at first, put

nual crop, which can be cultivated.
Twenty feet apart is about right for
peaches. twenty-five for pears and
from twenty-eight to forty for apples,
depending upon the variety. For fam

There are a few points to remember

tree the hole should be dug 50 aS TO

wood lot where 1t grew the branches
should be cut back 80 that they will
be no longer than the roots. Tf the

should be set not closer than thirty

Every indication up to the time of
writing this paragraph. March Is.
seems to point to an unusually dry
season ahead. Last summer. fall and
winter constituted a period of I'm
usual shortage of rainfall for all the
central and eastern states. the present
condition of drought being the more
serious because of the unusual dryness
of soil for several feet beneath the
surface. The snow and rain fall OF a
year ago. most Of which found its way
into the soil. was sufficient to insure
the maturing Of good crops, but there
II no such reservoir Of moisture to
draw on in the coming months. and
unless the clouds yield refreshing mois-
ture a most serious condition con-
fronts both farmer and gardener.
There Is one way in which the results
Of such possible condition or drought
may be reduced-namely. by such
thorough preparation Of the soil that
the least possible moisture which 1t
contains will be lost. This means that
the farmer In the usually humid Sec
lions will have 70 adopt dry farming"
tactics. These include a pulverizing
and mellowing OF the seed bed by re
peated disking and narrowing and
later the cultivation OF all titled crops.
Many followed these methods last sea-
son and greatly increased their crop
yields. 4 much larger number will
have to adopt them In the coming
months If they are to have any return
from their Iard-thiS. OF course on the
assumption that the present dry wealth
