passed into "innocuous desuetude."
All this is preliminary to g. little
light on the interesting question at to
when Hugh Kelley first saw Baraboo
When his father was on his way to
Baraboo he stopped over night at this
tavern. / remember his bringing
Hugh into the bar-room and showing
him to all the men and explaining
how he would never be dependent up
on the services of a barber. This &C
counts for Hugh having always been
able to do the talking; he has never
had to compete with barber. This
must have been in 1857, think.

GentIeman's Agreement.

A we'll known Kansas banker told story the other day about the statute of limitations There is a smile in it, plus good philosophy.
 One day an old Southerner walked into this bankers office. The Southerner was a typical gen. tleman of the old school; suave, courteous to the point of punctili- ousness, and honorable to a degree of martyrdom.
 What can can do for you?' asked the banker.
 Well" replied the Southerner, about thirty-five years ago l loaned man down South some money-not very big sum. l told him that whenever l should need it | would let him know and he could pay me the money. need some money now, so l will let him know and would like to have you transact the business for me.
 My good friend,' replied the banker, you have no claim on that money. You can't hold that man to that loan. You say it has been thirty-five years since you loaned it to him. The statute of llmitia- tions has run against that loan years and years ago.

Disposine of Surplus fruits and Vegetables

Arkansas will have a big crop of fruit to dispose of this year. Ma turally some of this fruit will be defective and a certain percentage of it will become over ripe and Tn either case it will be unsuitable for shipment. There will also be a surplus of garden vegetables pro duced on many farms, but in most instances this surplus will not be large enough for a profitable ship ping business.
 Buy you home canning outfit at once and get to work. Begin with the strawberries and later turn your attention to blaekberries and various garden vegetables, such as bean, peas. tomatoes and green corn. During the summer and fall you will find plenty of work on the peaches, pears, sweet pota- toes and pumpking.
 Anyone of average intelligence ought to be able to make from $10 to $25 every day that he puts in at this work during the spring, summer and fall.
 A good outfit will not cost you much. A machine with a capaci- ty, say, of 200 to 1000 cans per day should not cost more than $8 to $15 and machines large enough to take care of large crops of fruits and vegetables can be purchased for from $25 to $z5. Write the Agricultural College, Fayetteville. for the names of reliable dealers in home canning machinery.

Get Good Stock.
or both ps

It Is because we wish to see the South take it's rightful place as an agricultural section, and Southern farmers receive just reward for the work of their hands that we protest against this idea that good livestock and good farming meth ods are not for the average farmer. They most emphatically are, and if he is ever to become a good farmer to make his land good, to have good home and good bank ac- count, he must get rid of the fool ish notion that he has to wait until he has lots of money before he goes to farming in the right way. To place ones dependence in scrub farm animals, or to imagine that any farm animal can give the most profit when allowed to shift for itself. is not good farming. Such theories-for these are theories as wild and baseless as any scient- ist ever promulgated have done much to keep the South in it's pres ent backward condition and we can not get rid of them one moment too soon.-Progressive Farmer.
