FOR PERMANENT PASTURE.

In a recent circular issued by L. A Markham, commissioner of Agriculture of the Missouri Pacific and kIron Noun tain Railway system, advocating per manent pasture for every farmer, the planting of Bermuda grass is strongly urged The circular says:
 Every farm should have it's per manent pasture. Such a pasture does not have to be renewed nor cultivated, and the beef, pork and milk it makes and the feed it furnishes the work stock is very nearly clear profit. It IS something that the farmer does not have to work for.
 Permanent pasture of tame grass yield as large or heavier gross returns in money than the cultivated lands Of the farm, and usually much larger net return. As an example, on the Louisiana state experiment station a Bermuda pasture produced from 300 to 400 pounds of pork and beef to the acS \ At prevailing prices this is equal to Raf bale of cotton, and is all pro- fit.
 "A permanent pasture also makes DO lSb ble the profitable use of poor lands ark e4the protection of disintegrating hill sides. The upland regions of Ark ansas contain many broken, hilly farms that have been almost ruined by erosion. If cultivated crops are raised on them few more years they will have to be abandoned. These lands should all be turned into pastures. The slopes should be sodded to some good perennial grass. This will permanent ly and completely stop the washing, and at the same time maintain profit able agriculture.
 ''The best grass for a permanent pasture is Bermuda. This grass should be planted during April or May. The land should be well broken and then narrowed till it is level and smooth. With Q shovel or bull-tongue blow lay of furrows three feet apart. This completes the preparation. For plant ing use Bermuda sod rather than seed. Flow up plot of Bermuda and tear it to pieces with harrow. Gut the sod or roots. in small pieces with some sharp implement, and drop the pieces into the furrows at intervals of about 9 feet The pieces should then be al- most completely covered with dirt. The covering can be done well and radidly with the foot This completes the planting. With good seasons the grass should furnish grazing before the end of the summer.
 During the fall SOW on the Bermuda a mixture of 36 pounds of burr clover seed Gin the burr) and 3 pounds of white clover seed. The burr clover will make a good winter pasture, while the white clover will greatly improve the Bermuda for spring and summer grazing"

SOME BAPTIST HISTORY.
Life of Isaac Standlee Discussed in the
 Baptist Advance.

Lie Ot Isaac Stanclee DlSCuSSeu III ttie
 Baptist Advance.
 In a recent issue of the Baptist Ad- vance, the state organ of the Baptists of Arkansas, A. J. Russell contributes an article to the historical department upon the life and character of the late Ed. Isaac Standlee which will be of interest to many Tribune readers. It says:
 "No Baptist history dealing with the pioneers of the state would be complete if it had no mention of Elder Isaac Standlee, who for more than 50 years preached the word in these Ozark hills. I only wish I was more familiar with the details of his history. have many times heard him recount his pioneer eX- perience from the time he entered the ministry in about the year 1850 till 1902, when he passed to his reward. He organized the Carroll County As seciation and himself baptized more than 1000 converts. He was what is termed a wholly uneducated man, speaking from the standpoint of schools, but he was indeed a scholar not polished, yet by absorption he was a grammarian, logician, rhetorlclan, and philosopher. In theology he was as sound as the Bible and many of his sermons might justly be styled as classical lectures. Living as he did Tn an entirely isolated section of the state yet he taught and practiced advanced missionary steps to send the gospel to the "utermost parts of the earth. :" He was perfectly familiar with the lives of Judson and Carey, and could recount the history of the martyrs as easily as school boy might the most commonplace historical event. The little word 'go' as found in the the commission would be an eloquent ser mon in itself when uttered in his char acterstic way, and even the lengthy pause after speaking the word furnish ed visions of thought to his hearers.
 "He was certainly grand man, and his excellent work is following him. While the Carroll County Association is one of the smallest in the state and one of the weakest, yet from under Standlee's preaching in these hills have come some of the ablest men in the denomination. His own grandson, Calvin Standlee, is among the success ful Baptist ministers of the new state of Oklahoma. James Edmondson, who for the past several years has been a prominent figure in Illinois, was con- verted under the preaching of Isaac Standlee. F. M. Mcconnell, than whom there are but few Baptists who hold a more responsible position, is superintendent of missions in the great state of Texas. He was led to Christ under the preaching of this great pioneer. All three of these men were ordained to the ministry in this As sociation. There are many other prominent ministers doing great work in other states who went out from the old Carroll County Association, and their early inspiration was more or less influenced by this great preacher. y
