WOODROW SCHOOLHOUSE.

The school board met here last week and employed Other Wilkerson to teach the summer school. He is highly praised as a teacher and we feel sure that the directors have made good selection.

MT. VERNON.

Two weeks have passed since our last from here. Incidents and time come and go, but still the worldly days, will say that Mrs. Fannie Dun things move on. Going back a few away-Hogan came out on the 2Oth inst. to give us a reading. Pete Rice was to entertain with the new grapho- phone, but Pete must have proven a jonah for the rain. It poured down until the entertainment was rained out, which the entire community re- gretted, for all were anxious to hear Mrs. Hogan, especially read "The Lit tie Rebel" But some of us were not entirely disappointed for having en- tertained Mrs. Hogan in our home, and having some nearby neighbors and friends to come in, we just had "The Little Rebel' and a number of other readings anyway by Mrs. Ho- gan and Miss Minnie Lee Jones which we all enjoyed until the late hours arrived, reminding us of rest and dreamland. Mrs. Hogan promised to come again in the near future. which promise must be kept.
 Next came Easter Sunday, and on Saturday afternoon was a surprise party given the little folks by Miss Minnie Lee Jones, with an Easter egg hunt, and also one at Hotel Sanders on Sunday afternoon, where about 30 or 40 children met and had a good time.
 Prof. Partain's music class closed last Monday night, with good singing showing much improvement
 MT. McHenry, our road commission CT, came out last week with the iron bridge man and reviewed the grounds at the Cadron, where the bridge wash ed away. Arrangements have been completed for the construction of new steel bridge, and several loads of steel have been hauled in, and we are soon to have new bridge. But let us not stop here. Let us have better roads if all of us have to go down in- to our jeans and help out. It will pay wonderfully well. Good roads will add value to every farm and each com munity through which it passes
 The writer met the gentlemen afew days ago who bought the, nice old farm of David Goodloe, near Bethes- da church, six miles north of town about 100 acres, for something like S2,250, or S22.50 per acre. He says such land in Illinois, where he came from, would bring from $100 to $50 per acre. No wonder they come south for homes! Several others have sold out near Bethesda and Rosebud for similar prices. Not long will be the time when these choice farm lands will double in value and good homes will be wanted by our own people who have owned and improved them We need the connecting link of railway from Dardanelle to Bald Knob right through Mt, Vernon to make this one of the most prosperous counties in the state. This road would connect Mem phis and Fort Smith, the east and west by direct route.
 Prof Henry Landlord and sister, Miss Grace, of Naylor visited the family of Dr. Watson here the past week.
 The singing class met at Nebo Sun day afternoon and here at night.

The young are hardy and easy to

they should be left to find their own
feed on the range and require no care
except shelter during severe rain
storms and at night until feathered

breeders report them living and doing
well at twenty years Of age. Another
important fact about them is that they
are not susceptible to disease, this in
contrast to most poultry.

HOW YOUNG CHICKS ARE FED
pIoyed at the University In Car
ing for Little Fellows.

For the first 10 to IA days, we
feed the chicks at the university
farm little commercial chick feed,
which is thrown into a fairly deep
litetr of hay chaff three or four times
a day." writes Prof ]. G. Halpin of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in reply to a
question regarding the feeding of
young chicks.
in the middle of the forenoon and
the afternoon" says Professor Halpin,
I'VE feed little mash made up of
equal parts of coarse ground corn,
wheat bran, wheat middlings, and
rolled oats. Once a day we mix
raw egg in with this mash, one egg
for about each 60 chicks. AS they
get older, we gradually increase the
amount of raw egg, adding enough
water or, better still, milk to keep
the mash from being sticky and sog-
gy. AS fast as they learn to eat it,
we mix more and more wheat and
cracked corn into the chick feed. so
that by the time they are three
weeks old they are eating cracked
corn and wheat entirely. From the
start we give access to dry mash
made up at first like the wet mash, ex-
cept that the rolled oats is omitted
after the second week.
Fine sand on the brooder floor,
covered with short cut Alfalfa hay,
is ideal. Ground bone in little hop
pers, SO the chicks can help them
selves, is also good. A few drops of
potassium permangnate stock solu-
ton, just enough to turn the water
red, or just enough Zenoleum to turn
the water whitish, may be put into
the drinking water

GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS
Chilling Causes More Loss Than Any
thing Else--LIce Sap Vitality Of
the Little Fellows.

The greatest enemy of the chick.
and that which causes more loss than.
any other one cause, is chilling; the
second enemy in importance because
of amount of loss is lice. Both lice
and chilling are the direct cause of
bowel troubles, because both sap the
vitality and the life Of the chick, max
ing It impossible for the little fellow
to resist the organisms of disease
that are always ready to attack It
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape and
can later be found on the head of
the chick. Rub a little lard on top
OF the chicks head, getting it into
the down thoroughly, and you will
get these; repeat the dose in week.
and if the hen is furnished good
busting place, the lice are not likely
to give any more trouble; but when
ever you see a chick that seems I'M
happy, eyes closed, droopy, look for
lice.
The brood coops should be thor
oughly sprayed before using with
some coal tar preparation. sheep dip,
whitewash, or a mixture Of four parts
coal oil and one part crude carbolic
acid. 1t pays to be ahead, and that
explains why so few Of use are max
ing anything on our poultry; we neg
lect these little things; because of
this neglect disease gets the start Of
us; we become discouraged because
of the losses and give up and blame
our luck, when all the bad luck might
have been prevented by little care
full preparation.
Give the chicks clean place and
keep them free from vermin, and you
can safely count them before they
are raised.

CAREFUL PACKING OF PEARS
Have Fruit Hang Too Long, as
1t DeterIoriates Quality
CBy c. c. vINCENT.)

.
While the packing of any fruit Is
largely matter of experience, there
are certain principles which apply to-
all fruits, though more care must be-
exercised with some varieties than
with others. The pear is a very per
ishable fruit and requires the most
careful handling. The picking season
varies with the prevailing climatic
conditions each year. Whenever, on
slightly twisting the stem and turning
the pear upward, it Will snap OF. the
fruit is ready to pick. OF necessity
it must be picked for shipping while
yet in green state. Great care should
be exercised not to have the pears
hang too long, for 1t deteriorates the
shipping qualities very materially.
After picking, the fruit should be
packed and shipped as soon as posi-
BILE, as they are quite perishable.
The boxes for pears must be lined
with wrapping paper and the pears
themselves also wrapped. There is an
increasing demand for fancy pears,
which means carefully selected, uni

WHITEWASH FOR HEN-HOUSES
Formula Given by Poultry Manager of

A G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa.
Canada, says durable and lasting
whitewash may be made as follows:
Put into a water-tight, clean barrel
half bushel of unslaked lime. Shake
the lime to a depth of five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds Of sulphate of zinc and two
pounds of salt dissolved in hot wa
ter.
These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling off. It
is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside of

cIeanlnu up the Garden.

AS soon as all fall crops are out of
the way, clear up the garden gener-
ally, instead of leaving the decaying
vegetables and plants to harbor in
sects. Then the plot Of ground can
be given dressing of manure and
plowed SO that it will be in good
shape for business early next spring.
When you pillow the garden, turn
the flock of chickens into it for few
days to pick up the insects which they
will find. They will thus secure lots
Of feed and at the same time destroy
enemies of your next years crops.
