A lady farmer had fine strain OF
chickens. A rich old farmer, whose
land Joined hers. sent his man over to
her house with some eggs to exchange.
She exchanged. Now the old farmer
was breeder Of fine cattle. Well, the
lady sent her man over next day with
runt of calf to exchange for one
Of his thoroughbreds. The old farmer
took the hint and sent the lady her
price for the eggs. It is worth 81 a
hundred to grow good strawberry
plants and keep them pure.
How 70 Grow and Keep Plants Pure.
Get good plants to begin with. Plant
in rows three or four feet apart and
three feet apart in the rows. Keep
ground free from weeds, and when
runners start turn them along the
rows out Of the way of the cultivator.
They will root and make matted rows
by autumn. All these new plants can
be moved next April. leaving the old
plants to grow another crop Of plants
and berries. This can be done for
two years, but the third year you may
get some Seeding. Strawberries can
be moved by spading up and setting
out in deep burrows any time Of year.

Plant on clean. rich ground. Keep
ground free from weeds. Get good
plants Of the best kinds. Get the very
earliest and the very latest kinds.
Never take plants from an old bed.
Keep kinds pure by renewing every
two years, being careful to grow plants
from runners Of known varieties. Mulch
heavily between rows and lightly over
plants, In November. and let g! mulch
remain until done picking. This gets
ride Of myriads OF insects and does not
injure the plants.

Say Not That He 10 Old.
Say not that he is old because his hair
Is white;
The singing Of the lark still nlls him
with delight;
Say not that he is old because upon his
knee
His grandchild comes to lean;
His heart Is brave and clean,
And beauty gives him glee.
Say not that he Is old because his age
is great;
He has not learned to sit alone and
mourn his fate;
Say not that he Is old because his eyes
are dim;
Love stu Il IN his soul
And still a splendid goal
Il beckoning to him.
Say not that he Is old because the
grave has won
Nhe friends his childhood knew, their
earthly duties done;
S4y-not that he is old because his head
IS gray,
For Time has failed to steal
His courage or his zeal,
OR 1ure his hopes away.

Die changed opinion. Berry growing
became popular there and continued to
this day. The Early Scarlet was little
better than wild ones that grew in
abundance all over the country. Then
came Wilson's Albany Seeding, long
stride toward the perfect. 1t was
hardy, productive and adapted to all
soils and climates. Fruit large and
snowy. Dark red. but very sour till
very ripe. Then came Crescent Seed
ling, still hardy and more productive
and hardy but sour. It seems to be
universal rule that fe wor none Of the
improved berries. strawberries, rasp-
berries, or gooseberries have the ex-
quisite favors found in the wild ber-
ries. Then came the Sharpless, a
large berry. and so far as I know. the
sweetest strawberry grown. But 1t was
a shy berry and not very hardy. The
Crystal City, ripening on May 30, was
the best early berry, before the Beder-
wood came. 1t would hold its growth
against everything around it. Not

An Act of the General Assembly of
 1881 Tells How To.

The Department of Public Instruc- tion is constantly receiving leters ask ing how the name of the state of Ar kansas is pronounced, the general i'm pression being that it is pronounced like Kansas. The pronunciation of Ar kansas was fixed by concurrent resolu- ton of the General Assembly of 1S81 After the preamble, in which attention .s called to the fact that there is a disposition on the part of the people ot other states to accent the final 's," the resolution states:
 That the only true pronunciation of tho name of the state, in the opin- ion of this body, is that received by the French from the native Indians, and committed to writing in the French word representing the sound i; and that it should be pronounced in three sylables, with the final silent, the in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the acceut on the first and last syllables, being the pronunciation formerly, universally and now still commonly used; and that the pronun- citation with the accent on the second syllable, with the sound of a in man and the sounding Of the final S, is an innovation to be discouraged"

REVENUE FUND DEPLETED.
Advances of County Collectors Have
 Kept Treasury Supplied.

The general revenue fund in the state treasury. which is used to pay the running expenses of the state gov ernment, including the salary of all state officers, clerks, etc, contains S143, ,000 Treasurer Crockett stated that this money will run the state un- til about the 1st of December, after which time considerable tall hustling will have to be done to run the state government.
 After the first of the year, the state will then be able to get along more gracefully, as the liquor license will begin to reach the state treasurer, and collectors of the various counties of the state will resum the practice of making advances to the state on ac. count of taxes collected.
 Had it not been for promptness of the tax collectors of the state in mak- ing advances to the state treasurer, Arkansas would have been on a scrip basis years ago.
