 NnD MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
;ssioper of Mines Manufactures 'O"' oriculture. Now is Time to M psc;n Breaking Land for the
 Crop Next Year.

', :. now time to look to fall break /. for the next crop. Last year a ms .aod many farmers broke more or less se .ho;r land in the fall and all who n, will know the benefits. Deep fall u ,.olinc is the first important step ;s cood seed bed preparation for .nrinc planting. It is best to break sbout an inch deeper every year until su cpt down to depth of eight or .m . ;ncbes. Even deeper than that is sood and when followed by subsoiler !, i. still better. By deep fall blow ;nc the vegetable matter is turned un- der and decays, and adds fertility to tho soil. The deep blowing loosens tbe earth so it will absorb and ho,c the water when it rains, and the land will mi wash so badly, if at all. The land will retain its fertility and 1t will be increased by the decay ing vege- table matter.
 If sowed to rye, so much the better Rye will give you winter cover crop which will tend to keep the plant food inn teaching out of the soil. It will ,fOrd light pasturage, and can be umed under in the spring to further enrich the soil. Where 1t is practica- He the cotton fields should be plowed between the rows and planted to rye.
 tis settled fact that there will be sreduction of the cotton acreage next year. This will come as result of the exercise of good judgement upon the part of the farmers, merchants, bankers, and landowners. Other lines of farming must and will be taken up. In making these changes attention should be given to live stock. Grow ing cash crop of any kind every year and taking 1t off the farm and selling t is bound in the end to run down the 4GGlll Ol lllt SOl. pOulelfllUS UluSl be put back on the land to keep it up. Your own observation and experience has taught you that. There is no bet ter way of keeping up the land than raising stock. You feed the stock and the stock fertilizes the land.
 believe raising hogs is the best paying work on the farm. You can raise crop of hogs as quick as you can raise crop of cotton. To raise hogs proftably the brood sows should be bred during November and Decem- Der, so they will bring pigs in Febru- ary and March. Some kind of pasture should be prepared for the pigs to run on next spring and summer. You can SOW rape in the spring if you have h0tnmg else. Rape will pasture fif- RPn to twenty head of hogs to the Te Good brood sows will raise an Mrage of six pigs each, so two sows @N their pigs can be pastured on one

LITTLE OPOSTTION TO
 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

Little Rock, Nov. 3-The federal elections are in progress throughout the state today. There is not the remotest likelihood of any change be- ing made in the political complexion of the Arkansas delegation in Congress. Harry H. Myrs, Republican, is oppos- ing James P. Clarke for the Senate, but Senator Clarke will win by the usual heavy majority. There are con- tests in only two districts. In the Third, where J. N Tillman has been nominated to succeed J. c. Floyd, there are two opposing candidates, w. N. lvie, Republican, and L R Putnam, Progressive. In the Fourth, L. C. Packard, progressive is opposing Otis T. Wingo, for reelection
 acre of rape. That will be better than letting them run on the range. Hogs on the range get diseased more easily than when kept up. Brood sows should be bred to good pure bred males. If so, and the pigs are cared for and fed and watered well, they can be made weigh from 150 to POO pounds each next fall. A good 200 pound hog is worth $15.00. That is half the price of a bale of cotton now You can raise an average of ten such hogs on an acre of good land, where you could raise only a bale of cotton. If you will give as much work to raising hogs as to cotton you will make twice as much. If you have the cholera to con- tend with you can vacinate your hogs and keep it out. l hope to see the farmers turn their attention to hogs, as the best and quickest substitute for cotton. Meat and lard are high cotton lis low. Raise the high-priced product. A crop of hogs can be raised as easily as most any field crop, and more pro- fitably.

A Desirable Dutch Desk Set

Suitable fittings for the big, broad
table desk of Dutch type are in
cream colored wood, painted with fig
ures of people in quaint array. Both
sides of the handle and the blade of
rather ponderous-lo looking paper
knife are decorated with little girls
and boys in dark red. bright orange
and vivid blue garments, clumsy
black shoes and flat white caps, play
ing tag. The handles of the long
shears are painted with figures of
scolding housewives and village gos-
sips. the Rip Van Wrinkle sort And
there are stands for holding ink and
muciage bottles, decorated with
Dutch scribes or public letterwriters.
But most fascinating of all are the
Irvine boxes, on which are painted
Dutch. babies at the toddling stage.
and the stamp boxes with pictures of
babies in arms, all of them wearing
garments of brightest tones, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The wood used for these novel desk
fittings is too hard to split or break
or warp easily, and as its surface is
thickly coated with varnish, the va
rious pieces may be wiped with a
damp cloth without risk of injury TO
their decorations.

Ether Stains and Itching Scalp
and Rubber Goods

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly let me know how
to remove an ether stain from a
blue serge dress? 1t is large white
spot and it looks horrid.
Also. what is good for an itching
scalp? My hair is very dry and
falls out terribly.
Can you tell me of any place In
Newark where they mend rubber
goods?
Thanking you, ANXIOUS.
Are you sure that the stain is
from ether? I would advise spong.
ing the spot with ammonia water.
This might restore the color.
Perhaps the itching scalp is caus.
ed by dandruff Brush your hair
thoroughly every night, using at
least hundred strokes. Then rub
in the following lotion:
Boracic acid, one dram; rose wa.
ter, two and one-half ounces. Mas
sage we'll into the scalp.
In addition to using the recipe
above you must shampoo your hair
atlleast every three weeks. Massage
is important, and I would advise
you to have it done by a profess
sional until you learn the proper
movement. Two or three treat
ments will suffice.
Am sorry I cannot give names
and addresses In this column. Con-
suit the business directory in tho
back of the City Directory.

Elephants as Playmates

It is by no means uncommon IN In
dia for the children of a mahout Cthe
keeper of an elephant) to be cared for
by his animals. The whole family of
the mahout thus become, as it were,
parasites to the elephant by whom
they earn their living. says Harper's
Weekly Instances are not wanting
of a mothers systematic placing of
her baby in an elephants care and
within reach of its trunk while the
mother herself goes to fetch water or
to get wood or materials to cook the
family meal.
1t is pointed out that no jackal or
wolf would be likely TO pick UP and
carry off a baby which was thus con-
fided to the care of an elephant. Most
people who have lived in the jungle
know how very possible 1t is for an
animal of the first class to carry off
a baby when it is lying in a hut or
when the mother is unprovded with
means to fight off the marauder.
Children brought up in the compan-
ionship of an elephant become ridicu-
lousy familiar with the big pachy-
derrn and take all manner of liberty
with him, liberties which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that
they do not annoy him while they
amuse the child. One may see, it is
I averred, a little native child, quite
naked, about two feet high, stand
| ing on an elephants bare back
and taking it down to the water to
| battle, vociferating' all the while in
most unbecoming terms of native
| abuse. On arriving at the water the
elephant, ostensibly in obedience to
| the child's command, lies down and
| enjoys himself, leaving just portion
og his body, like a small island, above
| the water. Upon this part of the ele-
plant the child will stand and shout
! yelling all the more if he has several
| companions of his own age also IN
| charge of elephants, all wallowing in
| the water around him. If the child
| should slip off his island the ele-
plants trunk Immediately replaces
| him in safety.
These urchins. whet they grow ul
! become assistants to~zsse mahouts and
in time eventually attain the dignity
of becoming mahouts themselves.

A BUREAUscARF WITH PIN. CUSHION TO MATCH
BY MARGARET LAWRENCE

Did any housekeeper ever have
enough bureau scarfs? This one is
so pretty and so easy to make that
you can add another to your linen
chest in a little while. Made of
handkerchief linen or round-thread
linen, embroidered entirely in white,
it would be appropriate for any bed
room, but if you have a pink or a
yellow bedroom, it would be pretty
to embroider the chrysanthemums
in pinks or yellows in flo silks. In
any case, work the edge with we'll
padded buttonhole-stitch in white
mercerized cotton. For general use,
fine cotton poplin is less expensive
than linen, and quite as serviceable.
The bureau scarf might also be of
lawn, batiste or of one OF, the imi-
tation linen fabrics, if you wish to
make an inexpensive cover that will
be fresh and practical.
It has become customary to have
the bureau scarf exactly fit the
top of the chiffonier or dressing
table on which it Is to be used, and
this one measures 1914 inches wide
by 4O1s inches long. II you prefer
a smaller cover. some Of the scallops

this smart little street frock (s05s)

A frock of this description will be
