BUSINESS OF EATING
Compelled by Etiquette to Leave -, Clean Piates.

One of the most striking customs Of the past that. are preserved by the, Indians of today is found among tho tribes on the Devils Lake reservation In North Dakota. According to the re. port of an officer of the Indian bureau the Devils Lake Sioux have from time immemorial adhered to a curious nustem in regard to the treatment of | guest, According to their etiquette 1t Is the bounden duty of the host to supply his guest with all the food he may desire, and as a rule the ap- portionment set before the visiting In. dian Is much in excess of the capacity of single man. But by. the same custom the guest is obliged to eat all that Is placed before him else he grossly insults his entertainer It was found that this practice would work a hardship. but instead of dis: pensing with the custom the Indian method of reasoning was applied, and what Is known as the professional eater was brought to the front.
 While the guest is supposed to eat all that Is placed before him, 1t serves the same purpose if his neighbor as. s1sts fin devouring the bountiful re- past, the main object being to have the plate clean when the meal is fin. ished. It is not always practicable to depend upon neighbor at table to as. sist in getting away with 8 large din. ner,. and in order to insure the final consumption of the allotted portion, visiting Indians call upon these pro- fesional eaters, whose duty it is to sit beside them throughout a meal anG eat what the guest leaves. The pro fesional eaters are never looked upon in the light of guests. but more as travelling companions with particular duty toiperform. These eaters receive from one dollar to two and even three dollars for each meal where they as. sist. It IS said that one of these pro fessional eaters has been known tc dispose of seventeen pounds of beef at sitting.

 CATTLE 10 EATEN

Col. J. E. Little has just received a shipment of 108 head of fine cattle purchased by him in Arkansas county last week and shipped to Conway from Dewitt. The cattle will be fat tened on ensilage and cottonseed meal at Col. Little's farm and after wards sold in the St. Louis market. Col. Little has found this to be a very profitable manner of disposing of the feedstuffs raised on his big plan- tation and last year the cattle sold by him were declared to be the best ever brought from Arkansas to St.
 Louis. ,....

WEEKLY LETTER OF
 JOHN H. PACE

l l have been taken to task by some newspapers and some business men , for the expressions in a letter two weeks ago in which I said the farm CTS needed more aid and less advice about what to do. The space so kind ly given me by the papers, must use for the proper purpose, and conse- quently cannot reply to attacks that are made upon me. However, I in- sist that the farmers do know how to diversity and. need aid to enable them to do so The question is what to raise for cash crop to substitute for cotton. Some will try one thing and some another. The peanut is a fairly good crop, they make 40 to 50 bushels per acre and sell for 75 cents to $1.OO per bushel; sweet potatoes are also good, making from 75 to 200 bushels per acre and selling at from 50 cents to $100. Irish potatoes make a good cash crop, but the market is uncertain. Cabbage makes another pretty good crop, but the marketing feature presents problem. The wa termelon is a good cash crop if the marketing conditions are favorable. Sunfowers do very we'll, selling from five to seven cents per pound. Broom corn is good crop, too. The most reliable is winter oats or corn. A crop of corn, oats, hay, peas, potatoes, n, r,ly,nc onI 1xyhoo% COW, some chickens, a garden in the spring, and a good brood SOW, will insure living for any farmer next year. Arkansas has more acres of corn than cotton every year, so Arkansas Is more of corn state in acres than a cotton state.y The yield is good, too, where the corn is cultivated. It costs too much to raise corn in Arkan- sas, far more than it does in the corn belt. There they use modern imple- ments and methods. They use more horse power and less hand power. That is because is their money crop and they raise it extensively, and pre- pare for it. If we give our attention to it we can produce corn more profit ably than they do in the corn belt. We can produce hay cheaper, and more per acre. We can raise cattle and hogs and provide pasture easier and longer. Fat cattle and hogs will all ways sell just as we'll as cotton. If the corn and hay does not sell the cat tie and hogs will eat it and thus it can be converted into meat at good iprofit.
 The first step toward making good corn crop next year is to break land this fall and get it in good condition. Flow about an inch deeper than usual. Turn under the stalks, weeds or grass. Then select good seed corn. Get it all of the same variety, nice uniform ears eight or ten inches long, not too taper ing, with rsws well filled hnd straight. Keep it id drN plaee and before planting tine take four or fvefgrahs out ofs each ear and plant in some wet sawdust and see if the seed will sprout. Keep track of the ears and throw the bad ones away Get sonic farm bulletins and read this winter. They will help you. Write me what

 Remember the hog. If you haven't start, get one at once. Breed the brood sows this month, have some green pasturing for them at weaning time in the spring and you can make them weigh 150 pounds in the fall. I hope the merchants will help the farm CTS along these lines. I know a num- Der of bankers that lend money to the farmers to buy brood sows.

LA CHICOTTE WINS CASE
Former City Engineer Awarded
S17,601 Back Salary.

Henry A. La Chicotte. formerly deputy
chief engineer o. the Bridge Department.
obtained a verdict against the city for
$3.50 In the Supreme Court yesterday.
La Chicotte was dismissed by the Com
missioner Of Bridges because OF his
former connection with the Parker Ryan
Construction Company. which obtained
the contract for the construction Of the
Manhattan Bridge. The engineer sued
for his back salary. Il was shown that
while the construction company got the
contract largely on the specifications fur
nished by La Chicotte, he compiled these
before he went into the service of the
city. La Chicotte is now trying TO be re-
instated in his official job.

STEEL TRADE IMPROVING

siderable amount on which shipments
were held up last year 1t has also
placed several thousand tons OF bridges.
The Southern Railway rail order to the
Tennessee Company amounted 10 2O'VoV
