 These rates are for carloads of 20 tons or moro, and where ship ment is made oyer more than one road an addition rate of 30 cents per ton is allowed on each change of road.
 This puts ground limestone in reach of all railroad points at a cost not too high to prohibit the use of 1t. Ground limestone is helpful to nearly all farm lands now in cultivation in the State. Where the soil is hard and com pact, lime will loosen; where it is loose and sandy, lime will tend to tighten or firm it. Lime is neces- sary for all sour soils. It is necessary to grow alfalfa sue cessfully and is highly beneficial in growing all crops, From 3 to five tons to the acre should be used. Do not make the mistake of putting only ton to the acre to make it go further. Put enough on a small patch rather than not enough on a whole field. When you put on 4 or 5 tons per acre you will not need more for 1 or 5 years. Any of the ordinary soils in Arkansas when well drained and free from hard pan, or underlying rock or slate near the surface, and lined and we'll manured, will grow al- falfa. and good alfalfa land is worth $100 an acre. The fall is the best time to lime your soil. Get ready and try it out this fall. JOHN H. PAGE,
 Commissioner.

dark or. black, and are what are immediately recognized as good soils. A large part of the lands in our State needs more phos- phorous and lime. Phosphorous can be added to the soil by appli- cations of acid phosphate, bone meal, ground rock phosphate, etc. There are numerous beds of rock phosphate in Arkansas, but most of it is of a low value. Only one or two beds have been developed. Tennessee rock phos- phate of a good grade can be ob- tained.
 Lime should be applied by spreading the raw ground lime stone. It can be obtained from several points in the State Rog- CTS, St. Joe and Ruddells. The Arkansas Lime Co.,, of Ruddells, make a speciality of preparing ground limestone for farm use, and sell 1t for about S1.25 a ton, depending upon quantity.
 Last year made an effort to get the railroads to make a low e. freight rate on ground lime stone to enable the farmers to use it, but failed. Later l took it up with the Railroad Commis- sion, and they made a rate that will enable the farmers to ship and use 1t. The rate went into effect May i, and is as follows,

 Editor Tribune:
 Referring to your recent ra quest for something said in re- gard to the growing Of straw
 berries be ia thia immediate vicinity, Ill quantities sufficient to load out in car lots under re. frigeration, 1 want to first say that 1 consider your request z timely one, one in which every one who is interested in horti. culture should give at least $ passing nQgiee.
 That we live in an age of specialization no one will attempt to deny. The very circumstances which surround US makes this it net a choice, a necessity. This being true in other callings it is none the less true when it comes to agriculture and horti- culture, and the community that accepts this as the true state of affairs is the one most likely to lead in thrift and prosperity. No one place can produce every thing and do so proAtably, yet natures domain is q great estab- lishaent when we give it a thought, and within it's boundries somewhere is a place fer everything pretaining to nature.
 The fact that this fact has been overlooked has marked the scene of many failures. We might not grow oranges or cocoanuts here in northwest Arkansas, or in doing so it might be at loss, most likely would, but the fruit under consideration; to-wit; The strawberry, has long ago, under adverse circumstances, proven it's right to our serious consider ation,
 By using a little care in select ion of soil and giving the grow ing plants the proper cultivation this immediate vicinity can pro- duce at a minimum cost berries that will compare favorably with that of any other section of the country. This being true, then it only remains for us to get to- gether and formulate a campaign of work that will enable US to grow a sufficient crop of berries to market them in the proper way, thus bringing the business to a paying basis when otherwise it might be risky going ly ex-

Middle class steers have held firm during the past week. Feeder buyers took a few feshy steers today, paying $8.20, but straight feeders sell at $7.25 to $7.75, above that price it is a question of flesh, as packer com petition then comes in.

 Hogs sold 5 to 10 higher offici- ally to-day. but many individual sales were 15 to 20 higher. The supply was only 5000 head.

FOR tho Willys-Knight. Overland and
Peerless cars First, they have hereto
fore only been offered in the highest
price class. and secondly their mechan-
ical perfection has not been understood
by the buying public Another reason
Is that the production Is limited to
four organizations In this country ac-
cording to the contracts with the for
eign manufacturers who first took up
the knight motor.
''The Knight motor has more power
Tor Its rating than any other motor.
Take for instance the poppet valve motor
rated at 40 horsepower. 1t will give
certain rate of speed OH level road
and a certain speed when climbing q
grade. y knight motor OF 40 horse
power can develop more speed for the
reason that loss Of power required to
operate the sleeve In the knight motor
Is many times less than that which is
required to lift "A valve against the stifY
valve spring. 1t Is merely the weight
OF the sleeve that has to be lifted and
not power exerted against itself.
when a motor Is running at a high
rate OF speed. at times the valves prac-
tically never close for the reason that
the springs cannot work fast enough to
close them This means loss Of power
through the loss of gas. In the knight
motor, when the main shaft Is turned
over, tho valves must positively open
and close They are connected directly
with a shaft that Is opera ted by the
turning over Of the engine.
at has been said that there Is greater
friction In the Knight motor on account
of the close and fast working OF the
sleeves This Is not so. for the sleeves
only work half as fast as the piston
and the inner sleeve Is also always
working in the same direction IS the
piston"

MICHELIN BRINGS OUT
UNIVERSAL TREAD"
Developed After Three Years
Of Road Testing on High
ways Near the Factory.

Announcement is made by the Niche
lin Tire Company that they have per-
fected an entirely new type OF tire known
as the Mchelin Universal Tread. This
new casing has been developed so quietly
that nothing has been known about it
even in tho trade. yet the company
states that It is tho result Of experiments
and tests covering n period of over three
years
These tests were conducted on the
tory. and were most thorough and In.
teresting. For example during the test
ing period all the buses owned by the
Brunswick Motor Company were
equipped with these new castings These
vehicles cover 1e2 miles daily. not only
over the fine macadam roads between
New Brunswick. Metuchen and Plain
field. n. J., but also over the rough and
sandy roads on the South River. Old
Bridge, Spotswood, Englshtown and
Freehold route. These severe tests were
continued daily both summer and winter
Then. again. private cars belonging to
executives of the company were fitted
with universal treads, one Of these, a
seven passenger Lozier used as Il test
ing car, having been driven over 100
miles daily. excepting Sundays and hol-
idays for over two years.
In describing the new Michelin casing

having the same characteristic heavy

tread, "a full round tire of the so-called
Oversize" type. The non skid feature.
Mr.. Atwell says. Is a combination OF the

the fiat or suction tread type. Mr.. At
well says that the Michelin company is
very conservative in Offering this new
casing to the public only after three
years OF careful tests OF the most ex-
haustiye kind, and for that reason he Is
ready to indorse this new tire with
cut qualification Word IRON the fac
tory Indicates that IA very large demand
for this new casing is already assured.
