How to Cure Pea Hay.

The writer has been curing pea vine hay for 9 years, and sticks to the plan he has been successful with all these years. His plan is that of using short stock poles about ten feet, long. Set them in the ground some IS inches deep, or enough so the wind will not blow them over Nail two cross-pieces about five feet long at right angles to each other, about ten or twelve inches above ground, so as to pre- vent the vines from laying on the ground. The vines are cut after the dew is well dried off and let lie until 'the following evening, if the weather will permit; then rake into good size windrows before the vines become damp from dew and let them remain there until the fol- lowing day, when they are carried to the stack with the hay rake, which is rapid process. The vines are placed around the stack pole and on the cross-arms, without tramping, until about three feet high. Then nail on one cross-arm and pile on vines until about three more feet are on. Then nail on an other cross-arm at right angles to the last one nailed on and continue this until the stack is finished. like to have the top of the stack pole pointed and large forkful of vines placed on this and arranged around the stack umbrella-like so as to prevent water from running down the pole. When well cured, and it is convenient to do so, we bale the hay and store it in the barn. We use pine poles, and by skinning them when first cut and taking them up and stacking away as soon as the hay is taken from them, we find they will last several seasons.-T. B. Parker, in the Pro- gressive Farmer.

THE PINES REPLY.

Fair writer of the Caddo Gap You've reused me from a tltful nap, As Timrod with his cotton boil Once stirred my lofty-aiming soul; Predicting my queer future fate And sacred duty to my state; 'Of fallen comrades long since slam And drawn to river, sea and plain. Friend, mortal being as you are, With thrilling verses to The Star, To bribe the secrets rightly mine Best wishes of a lonely pine); So unlike, too, your fellow men In my defense with skillful pen But you may merely friendship feign And flatter me to cause me pain. Erect you see my trembling form Resist the raging mountain storm, When to it's crumbling peaks cling And struggle hard my poise to bring; Or, as some gladiator great, Stands forth foe so fierce await. Arena-like, this boundless sphere, Declares my doom to throne or bier A million forms indeed I'd take To follow in my comrades wake. Thus placed by chance or destiny, Is evolution of your Tree. Then question not my woeful plight, BehoOving man to set it right.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct IS. Sounds indicating that the stock market had developed a flat wheel reached Kansas City last week, but there was no ill effect on prices here. The best beef grades had firm tendency all week, and while there was the usual weak finish on stockers and feeders. it did not more than offset the bloom on them the first part of the week. It was brought out last week, and IS more prominent today, that finish in cat tie is more of an asset than hereto fore, a feature that will have more prominence as the winter proceeds. The supply here today IS 2SVQ head, and runs are moderate at other points. The latent weakness last week came to the surface te- day. and after the opening sales the market took on a steady to ten low CT appearance. Killers tried to establish more of an equality De- tween Kansas City and other mar kets today, claiming that prices have been too high here, and an other cause for weakness today was the rather slim attendance of coun- try buyers. A light run at Chicago today removed part of the power of the killers to gain cOncesslOhs; and the usual Monday practice ol speculators in loading up theif pens for the week reduced the ei- feet of the lack of country buyers. Prime steers are quotable at S9 10 S9.35. fancy yearlings having mace S9.i0 last week. Kansas pasture steers range from s6.75 to sS.io' near to the best prices of the seq son.

The Social Side of Good Roads.

So much has been said about good roads that knowledge of their bene- fits is almost universal. But not so much attention has been paid to the social as to the economic aspect of this matter.
 In addressing a good roads meet ing at Harrison, Judge W. M. Sale of St. Louis, after mentioning the well-known advantages, such as de- creased cost of transportation and increased value of farm lands, sub mitted statistics to show that the states having the greatest percent age of good roads have the smallest percentage of illiteracy.
 On the same day Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in addressing the American Road Congress at De- troit, emphasized the part that good roads play in the establishment and operation of good elementary and secondary schools for the benefits of th8 country boys and girls.
 Where a good road has been built not only is the value of the land increased, and not only can crops and produce be made to bring more money. but churches and schools are better attended and better supported, new people come in and make their homes. and in general the country is advanced and improved.-Arkansas Gazette.

\ Force for Public Good.

One of the greatest forces for the accomplishment of good, in any community is public sentiment, es- pecially if of a high character and properly based on public good. The suggestion of "one of the farmers interested as to each property owner keeping the public road on his premises in good condition is certainly good one, and if started by few landowners will result in others becoming filled with the pride of fine road bed, and then others will fall in line until each will want the best stretch of road. And then everybody will be not only inter- ested and proud of our county roads. but all will be benefited thereby. Citizen.

Science Turned Hero.

A steamer with several hundred passengers aboard is found afire in mid-Atlantic. The flames gain headway in the gale and threaten the lives of every person aboard, for the sea is too rough for small boats to live. But the wireless sends out the call for help and ten vessels, hearing the whisper of the ether waves. come rushing through the storm and hundreds are saved.
 So Marconi, agent for modern science, summoned the Baltic to the aid of the stricken Republic, and the Carpathia to the help of the Titanic.

EXPECTING GOOD BUSINESS.
Local Real Estate Men Confident of
 q Good Season.

There has been a distinctly bet ter feeling among the real estate men during the past week, and they have expressed the opinion that things would soon be booming, although there was little in the market during the week that at tracted special attention.
 One thing that makes the dealers feel sure that the turn of the lane of peor business has come is the number of Kansans and 0klahomans that are investigating and investing here. The history of all the large cities of the West is that they did not arrive" until the rush of i'm migration that swept by them and developed their section of the West had accumulated their competency and began to look around for a good place in which to live. One gentle man who formerly lived in Okla homa has made the statement that the majority of the early-day Okla homans, those who made the coun- try grow and grew up with it, are ready 10 leave, and that they will be headed this way as fast as the immigration into that state will all low them to sell out and leave.
 Another thing that will prove of inestimable benefit to Mena and Polk county is the Kansas City Southern demonstration ear that is now touring through Kansas. AL ready number from that state have visited this section and ex- pressed the determination to return If they can dispose of their prop erty there.

British Royal Couple Rushed by
 Militants After Theater.

London, Oct. liking George and Queen Mary, who attended a command performance at London music hall tonight, had a narrow escape from being mobbed by suf- fragists. The women, who had gathered in considerable numbers, made a lively dash for the royal carriage on it's arrival at the the ater, shouting "Women are being tortured in prison!'
 They had almost reached the car riage when the police closed around and the militants, with defiant shouts of Votes for women" were hurled back. The suffragists were treated roughly by the crowd but escaped arrest.
 Jewish suffragettes, following for the first time the example set by those of the Christian faith, today interrupted the services at the West End Synagogue, Bayswater, by re- citing:
 May God forgive Herbert Sam uel and Sir Rufus Isaacs for deny ing freedom to women. May God forgive Herbert Samuel and Sir Ru- fus Tsaacs for consenting to the tor ture of women"
 The disturbers were escorted from the synagogue after their names had been taken by the syna- gogue authorities. It is understood that Mr. Samuel, who is the post master general, is a worshiper at the synagogue.
