TIMELY HINTS :.
ABOUT OATS
Analyses Show That They Are
Higher in Protein Than Corn
and About Equal to
Wheat and Barley.
(By ANTON MALMRoSE)


The market grades of oats depend
on the color of the grain and it's free
dom from mixture and from dirt.
The legal weight of bushel Of oats
In most of the states Is 80 pounds.
About pounds of straw are usual
ly produced to 1 pound Of grain. The
proportion Of straw may be material
ly reduced, however, in some varie-
ties and in some seasons, or 1t may
be materially increased. The hull usu.
ally comprises 30 to 35 per cent.
of the grain, though the range is from
little more than 20 per cent. to about
As per cent.
Analysis show that oats are higher
in protein than corn and about equal
to wheat and barley. They are high.
er in ash than any of the other grains,
and considerably higher in fat than
either barley or wheat. On account
of the bulls, oats contain the highest
percentage of crude fiber, an undesir-
able element Dat straw contains
more protein and more fat than corn
stover or the straw Of any other small
grain.

Down In Florida, the costly experience
OF the orange growers, few years

tected and saved with a few over =
thousand small size crude oil burning
orchard heaters last spring, when
many of the orchards in the Middle
West were stripped bare of their fruit
Protecting an orchard from frosts
on still night, even with very low
temperature is comparatively easy
compared to protecting it during sew
eral days of freezing weather, sleet,
and hail, and with a high gale blow
ing, as was the case last spring.
One orchard of seven acres, that
had never failed before, looked as II a
severe fire had gone through the
trees, and was almost a total loss.
On the orchard that was protected we
had full crop. OF this orchard there
were three or four rows on the north
and west sides that had few apples.
Had we placed a row of oil pots
around the outside of the orchard. we
think we would have saved those trees
also.
Last season being a month earlier
than usual, made us hurry our prepa-
rations, for we were pretty sure we
would need the protection. Usually It
is during the first part of May that
the frosts kill the fruit, but last year

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back OF his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
any little babys face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
able to the Generous instincts
Of the Race.

According to statement before q
meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society Of the Presbytery Of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr Of Harrisburg. Pa. in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the So
ciety to be more liberal in it's contri-
buttons to charitable work. she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un-
noticed except by a few. who saw the
pertinence and logic Of the remark.

the wind was blowing a regular gale,
accompanied by sleet and snow. The
wind was blowing so hard that II was
difficult to pour the oil from the buck
cts into the pots. The value of the
pots that night was in the continuous
stream of hot smoke blowing through
the trees On the outside rows, the
pots being under the trees, the wind
coming toward the trees, the hot
smoke did not go through them, but
under them. 1t was not the effect Of
one pot or a dozen, but the aggregate
effect of the thousand that produced
the effect, and It was not necessary to
examine a thermometer to determine
what was happening.
Several nights of freezing weather
followed, but they were not so severe,
as the thermometer did not go below
twenty-six degrees for few nights.

MT Norton suggests that all those in- terested and others bring him samples or specimens Of their produce. cotton, corn, oats, grain, potatoes, alfalfa, fruit or in fact any of the products of their farms, and that he will be glad to take charge of them and arrange for their proper display on the train in the space purchased by this city. The specimens should be labeled with the name of the grower, name of the owner of the land, character of soil in which they were grown twhether bot tom or upland, rental price of land per acre, valuation of land, and any other fact that would be of interest to prospective settlers in this country. Mr. Norton, who is in the real estate business here, will more than likely go with the exhibit. and lie is anxious to see Forrest City and St. Francis county make fine showing. which from present indications there is every prospects of being done.
