 "Young Jones, a cub reporter, on the Cinnaminson Scimitar, wound up an article about theo. town meeting with the words:
 "Mr. Smith then rose and made Ia few feeble remarks, during which the audience dispersed. "The editor of the Cinnamin- son scimitar snorted when he saw that sentence. He dasped his blue pencil through it fiefce- ly. Then he wrote in it's placeJ

 "There!" said the editor, That's how to do it"
 "But the reporter sulienly re- torted, "The difference between our versions, sir, is the differ- ence between the true and the false" ' !

R Railroad's Help In Farming

Railroads Help In Farming.
 One does not have to look lar to discover results in the work of the agricultural department for many sections of the state of the Iron Mountain railroad, bear prosperous evidence of as- sistance rendered by this depart ment. Nearly every side track between RusseIlVille and Little Rock has a squatty looking storage shed, which wUad hardly attract attention from the passerby, yet these store houses are working 3 revelation in diversified farming, and the Iron Mountain agents are direct ly responsible. These buildings are store houses for sweet pota- toes. The railroad agents look a country over and after many experiments discover what crops can be most profitably raised and marketed. When this is discovered the agents assist the farmers in getting started in the growing of such a crop. Sweet potatoes was found to De the profitable crop after 1t was harvested. The railroad agents then made a close study of stor- age houses, and discovered the kind to solve the question, and they are now supervising the e. rection of such buildings along the Iron Mountain lines. c. o.

 Says Page.

l and improved. We must have it to make room for the increased population we want and expect to have. Clearing land is hard work, winter or summer, but m the summer, when it is intensely hot. it takes a man with pretty good grit to go out into the woods where the leaves are thick and no breeze stirring, and put in hard days work, clearing land. To clear land is hard labor, if you do it your self, and expensive if you hire the labor. A good way is to deaden the timber a couple of years ahead. Now is a good time to begin the work when ever you have a spare day or two. Deaden everything that is large enough to deaden. The bushes and saplings can be cut down. It is 8 good idea to hack the saplings off about two or three feet from the ground, let ting them fall and hang by the back.
 The limbs on the trees will die and fall first. Some of the trees will then fall. The grass, weeds, vines and briers will come up. In the late fall after about two years have elapsed, you can set fire to the whole mass, and most likely will burn up the most of it. You can then go in with teams, chains and cant-hooks and soon finish up 8 good job of clearing, and your land will be in good condition, as the roots will be dead and partially lotted.
 This is a cheaper method than taking the timber down green.
 Now I am going to tell you a secret about deadening timber, Make @ solution of arsenic and sal soda. Dissolve the arsenic at the rate of one pound to the gallon of water. Put the arsen- ic in the water and heat and stir until it is dissolved. If any of the water is spilled or eyap- orated, replace. Then dis solve the sal soda at the rate of , one pound to the gallon of wat CT. Then mix the two solutions. Put the mixture in a coal oil can, or something having a small spout. Pour a small stream around the trees dead ened where the trees were hack ed. By this means you poison them and they die surely and suddenly, and begin to rot, clear down into the roots. In a short time the worms begin to work on them, and the trees dis appear much sooner than by the old way. Besides, it is not nee | essary to cut out the chips nor [ to go so deep in deadening. Be careful about the mixture and ] do not let any stock get to it, l because it is poison.
 Wash out the vessels good and !, do not pour any of the fluid on the ground where it will poison stock. You will find this meth cd valuable in saving time and
 money in clearing land. It is Q good idea to put in some new ground every year It soon counts up.
 The good women need some helpful suggestions in their work. At this season of the year they are bothered about moths amongst the woolens. Moth balls are nuisance in use and 8 S source of annoyance on the day S of resurrection of the woolens in s the fall. A perfectly good way s to protect woolens against the
