Cumberland county commissioners
find, in looking up the matter in re-
spouse to repeated requests from town
officials who inquire as to their pro-
portion Of the county tax, that the
county is enabled by the action OF the
recent session of the Legislature to
raise the sum asked for, i. e., $40, 600,
and $4,000, additional, making total
Of $4,000. 1t Is understood that the
county commissioners will only make
UP the taxes on the basis OF what the
towns ask for and the county tax Will
be simply enough to raise the $4,000

OUR CANTMOUPE CULTURE
TO Produce High Grade Product Use
Care in Selection of Seed.

CantaIoupes do best on warm,
should be we'll supplied with humus,
but neither excessively rich nor OF
heavy clay. The ground should be
thoroughly prepared and deep fall
blowing is good practice. Glover,
lespedeza and alfalfa are good crops
to precede melons.
Many costly mistakes are made by
growers using poor seed. Do not try
to tell good seed from the looks, but
buy it from a reliable seed grower
$l.50 a pound.
Catalogues are usually planted IN
hills four by six feet, and six by six
feet in size. It has been found a good
practice to place a shovelful of we'll
rotted stable manure in each hill.
being sure that the manure and soil
are thoroughly mixed. Plant from
eight to 10 seed in each hill, scatter
ing the seed over about one square
foot OF space and placing them about
one inch deep. When they come up,
thin to three and four plants per hill.
1t is not difficult to produce canta-
lOupes, but it is not an easy task to

then pack and market them success

CLEANING DOLLARS
FROM PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE
FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO
SOILS OF ARkANSAS-HOW TO
PLANT.

The peanut grows best on vel
drained, loose, sandy loan soils o1
medium fertility. which should be
prepared thoroughly, this will make
less work in caring for the growing
crop.
When barnyard manure is used as
fertilizer it should be applied tC
the preceding crop that the peanuts
may get the resultant effect. Com
mercial fertilizer may be applied in
the bed Of the row just previous to
the planting OF the crop. Apply 200
to 500 pounds OF commercial fertilizer
containing two per cent of nitrogen,
per cent OF phosphoric acid and
to per cent of potash The per cent
OF nitrogen should be increased if a
previous green manure crop has not
been turned under. Soils low in lime
should receive an application OF 500
to 600 pounds of lime to encourage
proper ripening Of the fruit.
Variety Types.
There are two general variety types
OF peanuts; those with large pods, the
Virginia Runner and the Virginia
Bunch type and those with small pods,
Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The
Virginia type is used chiefly for roast
ing purposes; the other are recon.
mended for oil content and as forage.
The Spanish is the commercial va
riety for Arkansas.
Only the very best of the crop
should be saved for seed and planted
in special patch. An ideal plant
should produce large number of
pods we'll filled with seed, uniform in
size, shape and color. The large pod
varieties of peanuts are always shelled
before planting, care being used not
to break the seed covering. Spanish
peanuts may be planted with or with
out the pod. To hasten termination,
soak the pods few hours just pre-.
vlous to planting. Plant in rows 2 to
21a feet apart, with the plants to 10
inches apart in row, depending upon
the variety.

rows as in corn planting, and use a
one-horse planter similar to the one
horse cotton planter. For hand plant
Ing open up the rows with a small
shovel marker and drop in seed at
proper distance. Cover to a depth
OF 1 X to inches. Begin cultivation
with harrow as soon as the crop is
planted. After the crop is we'll up,
start cultivating between the rows
with Small shoveled cultivator and
keep the soil in a loose condition for
pod setting. 1t is desirable to force
loose dirt with cultivator up to the
plant, but do not cover the, vines.

HA7CH|NG EGGS IN
OLD FASHION WAY
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN SElEc.
TION OFEGGS, NESTING PLACES,
AND FEEDING CHICKS EY a
POULTRY SPECIALIST.

When Matching eggs with hens, it is
| always desirable to select a quiet place
and make nest OF clean hay or straw
in shallow box or a barrel laid on it's
side. 1t is preferable to have this nest
On the ground if there is no danger OF
floods during rainy weather. Make
the nest big enough so the eggs can
not be rolled out easily. In deep nests
there is danger OF breaking eggs when
the hen leaves or gets on the nest.
Select quiet hen that has been
broody for several days and place her
on nest with few Gull eggs or
nest eggs in it, and allow her to stay
on these eggs for two or three days
before giving her the eggs to be
Matched.
1t is especially advisable to make
sure that the hen is free from lice.
Lousy hens stand on the eggs and pick
instead OF keeping the eggs warm. If
the hen has lice dust her freely with
Persian insect powder or take bit OF
blue ointment the size of a pea and
rub it on the skin under the vent
Both remedies can be bought at any
drug store, and are effective Repeat
the treatment after nine or ten days
to kill the lice that hatch. Provide
feed and water where the hen can
leave the nest and get to them easily.
Cracked corn and wheat make a. good
feed.
Selecting Eggs.
The eggs for Matching should be
carefully selected from freshly laid
eggs that have not been chilled. When
hens are not laying many eggs it is
advisable to put the eggs in dry
bran, small end down, leaving the up.
per end or air space uncovered. Place
The box in cool place that will not
drop below SO degrees Fahrenheit. Sc
lect eggs Of uniform size, as they will
not be broken as easily in the nest. Do
not pick the largest eggs. Select the
average sizes, avoiding thin, thick or
irregular shells. Use nine to Is eggs,
depending on the size OF the hen.
Test the eggs about the tenth or
fourteenth day. This can be done by
holding them before a lamp light in a
dark room, If an egg tester is not avail
able. Remove all clear eggs and such
dark eggs as show the contents to be
fluid, as these eggs will decay and it
broken in the nest will prevent other
eggs from Matching.
Remove Bad Eggs.

hatchable eggs, as it allows a better
chance for the fertile ones. When
Matching begins, generally on the
tWenty-first day for hen eggs, if
the hen is quiet, leave the chicks until
all are Matched unless the hon has a
tendency to leave the nest with the
first few Matched 1t is decidedly the
best to give the chicks water, but with
hold feed for at least 4S hours

FOR SUCCESSFUL DAIRYlNG
Quality Sets Price on Milk, Cream

Where whole milk Is delivered to

is unheard OF, because the resulting
cream is all Of good uniform quail.

The policy OF paying a patron just
as much for a pound of butter fat in
bad cream as in good cream is surely
unjust to the patron who thinks we'll
enough OF his product and himself to
take care OF his cream and keep it
clean. A number Of creameries in
several states have attempted to put
into eject a grading system and paws
patrons according to quality. The plan
has been quite successful in some
cases. However, its success would
be assured were it adopted more uni.
versally.
Plan For Grading Creams.
The plan in general is to grade
cream as it arrives at the creamery
into three grades according to quality,
and pay different price for each
grade. Grade one to be clean, swee.
| cream, and commanding from three
to five cents more per pound of but
ter fat than grade two, which is but
| moderately sour but clean, of good
| Odor and flavor, and free from foreign
matter. Such creameries reject grade
three cream or buy it at great reduc-
ton and churn out the fat to be sold
at renovating plants where it is used
III the manufacture Of renovated but
ter 1t often brings about half az
much as grade one.
Dirty Milk Under Ban.
The above plan should be encour
aged, as under the old system Of &C.
cepting all cream at the same price a
premium Is being placed on dirty
and careless dairy practice. Unless
we do something of this sort the quail
ity of the, butter made is bound to be-
come gradually poorer. Where DUAL
ity is lacking prices are sure to &C
down. Then some good old prophet
will announce that there is no none,
in the dairy business, but he will like
ly fail to qualify the statement nv
making it, There is no money in the
dirty and careless dairy business"
