Why Not Breed For Summer
Eggs.

Nearly everybody wants winter
eggs, but why not have our mems
Law through the summer months
as well? Chickens of good many
breeds hatch in February, and
ought DO begin laying the latter
part of June or early IN July, just
when the winter layers are gong
off the job.
Pullets that commence laying
about this time are not very Ike.
" to moult very heavily the first
wear, and if they are well cared
for they will lay right along the
summer months and well into the
winter.
of course. the demand for eggs
* much heavier in the winter than
the summer, but then, too, the sup
NV is greater. The farmers wife
who will have part of her flocks
hying during the winter months
md the rest during the summer
months will find she can arrange
with customers in town to supply
them with eggs all the year around
4. aid a fixed price:
That is the kind of egg business
which. pays best. The greatest
profit are made by selling direct
to the customer always, but to do
this one must have a supply all
the wear around and chicks hatch
ed in April and May do not begin
] 10 Law until late in the fall, and
then usually stop laying early IN
the summer.
OF course, in the northern eli
mate it is not as easy to raise
Young chicks In the late summer
months; but If a warm brooder
house is provided land. Special at
tention is given them, the youngs-
tiers will grow about as well as

In the south the chickens may
easily be raised earlier.
An abundance of litter should

% A good plan for winter hatchet
chicks is the deep feeding method
This method consists of streWlng ;

Opportunity Knocked at His Door

A man came to our place not
long ago and made a contract with
the boss to saw 100 cords of pole
wood that was on the ground. He
offered to do the job for fifty cents
a cord and his offer was snapped
up in a jiffy. This seems a pretty
low prices, and it would be if he
had to do it with a. hand saw. But
he came along a few days later
with a three-horse power traction
engine and the way that buzz saw
went through those poles was a
caution. He was employed by a
farmer during the summer, and
hired his employer s engine and
runs it on shares during the win
ter. He hires a helper at dollar
and a half day and gives the own
err of the machine a dollar day
for it's use. Well, he cleaned uI
Iour 100 cords In less than eight
| days and you can figure out his
lprofit yourself. When he go
| through with the wood he hooked
on. to a horsepower corn shelle
we have and cleaned up abou
1000 bushels in short order. Don
know what he got for that, as tn
boss kept the deal to himself bu
as the engine man went away wit
a grin on his face I guess he wa
satisfied. He showed me roll Q
bills big enough to choke COZ
4 and allowed" he would be hi
: own boss after this season.

Petroleum has been found in Alaska and while there has been practically no production, it is not impossible, ac cording to the United States Geologi- cal Survey, that commercial pools may be found.

but it was found that this work could
be done quicker and with much less
expense by waiting until the canal
was completed and the water drawn
out of the creek, so the logs and other
distractions could be seen and han
died.
The board of commissioners has
notified all timber cutters to discon-
tinue the practice of allowing timber
to fall into the creek, and will en-
force the law in regard to obstruct-
ing flowing streams if 1t becomes nee
essary.
Land values in the Point Remove
creek are rapidly rising. Unimprov-
ed lands that could have been bought
12 months ago for 81 per acre, are
now bringing $40 to $3.50 per acre,
and no doubt will be selling at from
SIS to 500 in another year.-Morril-

GETTING in SHAPE
FOR DRAINAGE WORK
DREDGE BOAT AND MACHIN
ERY BEING UNLOADER AT
MORRILTON.

The big dredge boat and machinery
for digging the canal in the Point Re-
move drainage district was unloaded
at Blackwell this week and is being
hauled out to the Kissire bridge on
the west prong of Point Remove creek,
where it will be built and where the
work will begin.
The boat and dredge machinery
weighs about $50 tons and it took ten
large cars to bring it, and the freight
on the ten cars was $4,000.
1t will take about 60 days in which
to build the boat and to get ready for
actual moving of dirt and will require
about IL months in which to complete
the canal. About half mile Of way
has been cleared and 500 cords of
wood for fuel has been cut and stack
ed along the right-of-way. 1t is esti-
. mated that the dredge will consume
$500 cords of wood.
1t was expected to build the boat or
the Pope county line and have it clear

VETO APPLIED TO
THREE MORE ACTS
SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
GOVERNOR YIELDS AXE ON
SPECIAL AND LOCAL LEG
ISLATION.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-The special
bill which gets by Governor Donaghey
this session of the general assembly
will have to have wings and fly by
in the night. He knocked three more
down today and only shot one barrel.
He is holding plenty of ammunition
in reserve for others as they come up,
and believes he will carry home all
the prizes in this contest. Governor
Donaghey sent message to the house
this morning vetoing house bills Is
and 80, both of which are for the for
nation of special school districts. He
has vetoed the senate bill for the for
nation of the Kalamazoo special
school district in Logan county also
and will report it to the senate when
it convenes again Monday. Governor
Donaghey states that time is being
taken up with special acts which
should be used otherwise, and if there
is no general act by which the school
department can secure the desired re-
lief, one should be passed and thus
settle the question once and for all.
Governor Donaghey states general
act, such as is needed, can be passed
in less time than one of the local bills

Judge P. H. Prince is circulating a

introduced in the legislature to change
the time of holding the Faulkner cir

|. R. HIGH SCHOOL
DEFEATS HENDRIX

Littel Rock high school defeated
Hendrix college team in a game of
basketball at Little Rock alst night
by the score of 33 to 26 Little Rock
high had a game scheduled with War
rem high school but the latter team
Cancelled their date at the last min
ute and Hendrix was secured to take
their place.
The game was easily the fastest
and hardest fought of the season and
one of the kin dwhere the issue was
matter of doubt until a few minutes
before the finish. Practically the en-
tire high school team starred at diff
ferent times, although Capt. Lewis
playing forward and Neill at guard
were shining lights at all stages.
Coach Tarr of the high school was
notified at a late hour yesterday aft
ernoon that the Warren team could
not play and Immediately made efforts
to get in communica with the Hen
dirk team Coach Staples of the Hen
dirk team was finally located and
agreed to play The Hendrix team
arrived in Little Rock about $50
o'clock last night
The game began with rush, every
player displaying a class of energy
practically unknown in the previous
basketball games here during the
present season. Hendrix scored first,
when Charles threw field goal of the
sensational kind. From the stage of
the game until the finish, it was a
great battle. When Hendrix scored
the local high, was always able to
"come back"
At the end of the first half the
score was 10 to Z, in favor of the Lit
tie Rock high school, When the whs-
tie blew for the first half the battle
was even faster than in the first half.
1t was at this stage of the game that
Capt. Lewis of the local high and
Neill at guard distinguished them
selves. Both played the classiest of
basketball, not only throwing field
goals of the sensational kind, but COW
ering the court mastery manner
and preventing many goals by Hen
dirk that appeared almost certain.
The Hendrix aggregation, to man,
showed that they were entitled to the
title of 1910 champions, their work
being at all times systematic, clean
and snappy. Practically every man
on the team starred, and their de-
feat is due only to the fact that they
were outplayed.
The following is the lineup:
