THE GOOD ROADS MAN.

We reproduce the following inter esting news story from the Paragould Soliphone of a recent visit to Para gould of ''the father of good roads:
 ID. Ward King of Maitland, Mo-,
 Inventor of the famous King split-log drag and for II years engaged in lec turing on the efficacy of this simple road builder, was a Paragould visitor Monday.
 For Il years Mr. King has devot- ed his entire time to featuring on good roads and inducing the people to use the split-leg drag. He has nothing to sell and represents nobody but him. self The drag is a simple contriv- ance, easily constructed and costs practically nothing. Its value as a road builder has long since been con- ceded and it points the way to secure good roads without money" as MT. King explains. The inventor of the split-log drag has delivered numerous lectures in Arkansas, including Para gould, and recently he completed a tourr of the western portion of the state. As result of his talks to the people in many of the western coun- ties, they are using the drag constant ly and already the roads are showing marked improvement. Mr. King says using the drag is like combing ones hair-we apply the comb and brush every day because to neglect the use of either article is to permit the hair to get tangled The drag should be used constantly following each rain to prevent the roads from deteriorat- ing. He says proper dragging will put the roads in such condition that 1t will take a constant rainfall of three weeks to make any appreciable effect on them.
 "Mr. King discounts the steel drag and all other new ideas that have been tackled on to the original split-log drag He hos worked out all of these ideas and finds that every time an at tempted improvement is made the eff fciency of the drag is diminished. The hardest obstable he has to overcome is the simplicity of this road builder. Be cause it is easy to make, because 1t costs practically nothing, because it is not difficult to operate, there is pop ular doubt in regard to it's value. These and hundreds of other things about road construction he brings out in his lectures.
 Here are some King Drag Driplets' which MT. King has printed for circu- lation, gratis:
 Drag the road and keep your mouth shut. Let the road do the talk ing.
 "The King drag, like the oldfash- toned pole ax, is injured when improv- ed.
 "The roads do not need fixing; it is the peoples heads. Fix the heads of the people and the roads will fix them selves.
 "The wheel of a loaded wagon fol- lowing a King drag is the heaviest road roller.

LOSING APPETITE FOR NUTS
Writer Bemoans the Passing of the
Ancient Fondness That Made
Winter Evenings a Joy.

The old butternut, very rich and
fragrant nut of the olden time, has al
most disappeared. Very few people Of
the present generation have ever tast
ed butternut. The black walnut IL
becoming fewer, and in a generation
hence 1t will hardly be known. And
yet it is a precious nut, full of good
ness and rare taste. Those old pans
Of cracked walnuts, in the long win
ter evenings, made up family JOY
that has never been surpassed. The
hickory nuts, especially the good old
shellbarks, figured prominently in
those nutty days, and the chestnuts
too, including the hazel nuts and
beech nuts; but they are all growing
scarcer, and have sadly strayed away
from the human heart.
The pecan is becoming the great
American nut. There are thousands
of trees cultivated in the south, and
the nut has become commercially i'm
portant. Trees are reported bearing
5000 to $500 worth Of nuts per acre
1t is rich nut, but quite too hard fol-
the novice to pick out the kernels
There are, however, machines that dc
the work perfectly. But, after all, fol-

LEARN THINGS BY
FEW HARD KNOCKS
Better Crop One Gets for PIow-
ing Little Deeper Pays Well
for Crop Of Wheat.
tHy L. NJ. BENNlNGToN.)

Some COWS Just about stop giving
milk at this season of the year. Those
are the COWS you and do not want.
Sell them off and get COWS that will
hold out to the end of the season.
Pillow little deeper for wheat than
you did for corn. The earth may be
drier now than 1t was in the spring,
so that you will need stronger team
on the beam, bat the better crop you
get for blowing deep will well pay for
the extra labor.
1t is a mistake to put off fitting the
wheat ground till the last minute.
Have 1t all ready when the time comes
for seeding. The sense of being hur-
ried and driven beyond ones strength
is what makes it hard to keep up with
farm work.
1t is a good plan to go through the
corn fields now and cut all stalks that
seem to be infected by smut Take
these stalks away and burn them.
Keep every burdock or yellow dock
plant from going to seed. Dig them
out early By cutting wild carrot
once or twice after haying one may
kill the weeds. Good job done, too.
The time to begin feeding mich
COWS green fodder is before they drop
off in their yield. Afterward may be
too late. 1t is very hard work to get
a cow back when she has once begun
to shrink in her milk. Very seldom
that we can do 1t.
Give hogs and pigs some green pas
ture during the summer. In this man
ner the corn fed them will go twice as
far, or it brings twice the same re-
turns. If there is no regular pasture
for them, fence In some odd corner
that cannot be used for cultivation.
The free, green range will keep them
healthy and growing.
Rape makes splendid hog pasture
and it may be sown at any time during
spring and summer. 1t may be sown
with oats for pasture after oat har-
vest, or with corn at the last cultiva-
tion for fall pasture after the corn
is cut for fodder.

each week and testing 1t once each
month will give practically the same
results as weighing and testing each
milking.
By taking these weekly and month
ly records and making a yearly aver
age it is easy to determine how much
milk and butter each COW has pro-
duced for the year.
This is but one-half the question.
Some cows are fairly large producers
but not economical producers. Others
may produce less milk or butter yet
be more economical producers.
A light feeder may digest her food
perfectly and be an economical pro-
Queer. We should keep a record Of
each cows feed one day each week
and its market value, in connection
with the weighing and testing of the
milk.
This will show what pound of
milk or butter costs from each COW
in the herd.
Sell the cows that produce butter
for twenty-five cents per pound and
keep all that produce a pound for
fifteen cents. The scales, the Bah,
cock test and pencil and paper win
assist in wedding out the Improbable
cows from the herd.
The illustration shows Eminent's
Bess, Jersey owned by the Roycroft
farm. Sidnaw, Mich. Her record un'
der the supervision of the Michigan
Agricultural college shows a produc'
ton of 1878 pounds of milk, testing
1882 pounds, ounces of butter.
The achievement of Eminent's Bess
exceeds the record of Jacoba Irene
heretofore the worlds champion OF
the Jersey breed, by 1,525 pounds OF
milk and at the same time exceeds
the record of Spottswood Daisy Pearl
the worlds champion Guernsey cow
by 179 pounds of milk.

pick problem
Increased production does not al
ways bring an increased profit. In
creased profits from the dairy bust
ness must, in a measure, come from
more economical production.
To reduce the cost of production
we must have cows that by their
breeding and individuality are adapt
ed to our needs. For the butter and
cream producing dairy, the Jersey
and Guernsey COWS have certain ad-
vantage because of the character of
their milk, which contains higher
percentage of butter fat.
The Holstein and Ayrshire cows
are compelled to elaborate more solids
to produce the same amount OF fat.
This is breed characteristic,

more economically and are better
fitted for the production of cheese
and market milk.
Within the dairy breeds we find a
greater difference between individual
cows than between the breeds, We
are keeping too many cows. We do
not know what they produce nor how
much they eat. Some pay profit and
some are eating up the profits made
by the others. 1t takes the profits
from the good cows to balance the
loss from the poor COWS.
The first step toward reducing the
cost of production is weighing and
testing the milk from each COW in
the herd often enough to keep good
line on what she is producing
