Going the rounds in the Kan

wondering why his wife tele-
graphed her congratulations and
best wishes in response to a tele-
gram of his, according to the
Unionville Republican. He had
left home and his trip included a
night ride. He had engaged a
berth ahead of time and was
comfortably fixed. At one of
the stations an aged woman
boarded the cars, but the berths
were all taken. The Edna man
chivalry came to her rescue and
he gave the old lady his berth
while he sat up all night in the
smoking compartment. The
next morning he sent his wife
the following telegram: Gave
berth to an old lady last night.

claim. The farmers and mer-
chants should get together and
have better understanding,
and it should be understood right
here that the farmers are not
the only ones making a prac-
tice of patronizing mail-order
houses. Far from it. Citizens
of towns do it also; and for that
matter some business men do like
wise. But it is not much Won
der, that people get the habit.
Mail-order houses send out cata-
log after catalog and quote spe-
cial prices on certain commodi-
ties that are tempting. Most
any one knows that Montgomery
Ward Co. and Sears Roebuck are
large mail-order concerns, the
same as they know that John
Jones and several other citizens
conduct stores in town. But the
mail-order men are not content
with just letting people know
their name-they quote prices
that bring them fame. If the
merchants would quote prices as
persistently as the mail order
houses do, they would eventual
ly make buy-it-by mail a rare ex-
ception, for the home merchants
as a rule, sell as dependable
merchandise as cheaply as the
mail-order houses. But the
merchants keep that information
to themselves, consequently the
mail-order houses are continual
ly growing and gaining ground.
Who's to blame?

they received 70 per cent. The
decrease was caused by a large

increased the pension tax Ivy.

Cut And Shock Corn

there is not going to be an over
abundance of rough feed. From
many counties comes the report
that even this year many farm
ers will have to buy hay. If
these farmers have a few acres
Of corn the college of agricul-
ture recommends that the corn

and shocked about 200 stalks to
the shock, and after about four
or six weeks in the shock all
could be hauled to the feeding
yard and either be put under a
shed or stacked carefully and
husked at leisure during the
winter, or the corn pulled from
the stalk and then the stalks fed
to the live stock. In this way
the farmer will get severa
times as much good from these
corn stalks as if left in the field,
although losing the value that
would be secured from blowing
the stalks under. However, if
feed is the important thing, cut
ting the corn, and feeding the
stalks is better than buying feed.

Ozark needs better market
for farm produce. Day after
day wagon load upon wagon
load of fine produce of every de-
scription is brought to market
here, and the farmer has to earn
its value again by going from
house to house trying to sell his
commodities, often having to
return home with a part of his
load unsold. There is an excel
lent opening here for some live
wire merchant to make arrange
ments to ship produce to towns
that are not favored by being
situated in such a fertile and pro-
ductive country. Farmers are
complaining about their fruits
and vegetables going to waste
on account of no market for
same. This county is particu-
larly adapted to the raising OF
fruits and vegetables and the
industry should he encouraged.
Let US furnish a market for the
farmers produce. Who'll start
the work?

Alfalfa

In proportion to it's value there
is less alfalfa raised on Arkan-
sas farms than any other farm
crop. If you want to know it's
value, go to town and buy a bale,
or a bushel of seed, and see.
You might say if you raised it
that you couldn't get that price
for it. Suppose so. You can
feed it to stock and get the value
that way. Alfalfa is good for
all kinds of stock. Hogs and
chickens will eat the hay. The
hogs will eat the hay and the
chickens will eat the leaves of
the hay if it is chopped up fine
enough. Alfalfa is a rich food
and goes long way.
Alfalfa is one of the best
plants for the land and enriches
the soil. 1t is not hard to grow
and yields well. We have a
plot of it on the State Capitol
grounds, sowed last September
and cut four times this year, al
ready.
Now is alfalfa time this year,
this month. Remember the fol-
lowing rules and plant from one
to twenty acres this month.

soil will do if not more than so
per cent sand. River bottom
buck shot land will do. Soil
with a hard pan will not do. Soil
with a gravely subsoil is usually
good for alfalfa.

about 8 inches. Then spread
ground with limestone, four
tons to the acre. Disk har-
row both ways. Take a heavy
roller and roll the ground at
least twice. Let it stand about
ten days and then double disk

days plant.

Do not fail to prepare

SEEING In the OAK.

Sir J. J. Thomson is authority for
the statement that when a body Is
heated above the temperature OF boil
ing water It ordinarily begins TO be
family visible. especially by averted
vision. but no definite color Il dis
cerned until the temperature has risen
considerably higher. This suggests that
the first effects are felt by the rods"
and not by the comes" which together
form the retina. The cones are speci-
ally concerned with the perception Of
color. From this one would infer that
animals which see In the dark must
have retinas particularly rich In rods,
and physiology shows that this Is nota-
bly, true Of the owl, whose retina Is
remarkable for the extremely great
proportion OF rods 20 cones. In a faint
light, states Professor Thomson. the
owl sees no color, but he sees some
thing, which Is good enough for his
purposes where we would see nothing
AZ all.-Philadelphia Record.
