A SENATOR LECTURES ON EDDY
 ISM.

It is to senatorial courtesy" of course, that the country owes the deep humiliation just inflicted on the sane fraction of it's inhabitants by Senator Works of California. For deeply hu- initiated certainly were all included in that fraction by the revelation to a world half astonished and half amused of the fact that the members of what is theoretically our highest and most dignified legislative body sat patient and helpless while for hours and hours one of their number preach ed to them the maniacal doctrines of Christian Science.
 As a matter of fact, only a few of the members did anything of the kind, senatorial courtesy" not going the length of requiring these grave personages to lend their ears to each other longer than they choose, or at all if they do not choose. Still, this exponent of Eddyism is a senator, his speech was delivered to, as well as in, the Senate, and, so far as the records will ever show, it was heard by our most distinguished and re- sponsible statesmen with respect and satisfaction.
 The consequent comments will wound American pride severely, for not only will we have to explain to home and foreign critics why a sen ator representing one of our great states should have made public pro. fession of his faith in a religio-phil. osophical delusion that violates every law of reason, every lesson of exper. fence. We must also explain why a man so highly placed should elicit not a single answer from his col leagues when he attacked medical science with hot revilings and clam ored against the establishment of a much-needed governmental agency for putting the benefits of that science at the service of the public.

LIMESTONE DEMAND GROWS
Ground Limestone Sells for $1.2O Per
 Ton in This State.

Little Rock, Oct. 7.-(Special.)- )- Julius R. Case, manager of the ArK- ansas Lime Company, at Ruddells' above Batesville, 152 miles from Lit tie Rock, was in the city yesterday. He reports an increasing demand for ground limestone fertilizer, and that his plant is shipping three car loads or about 100 tons daily. He now has enough business in view to keep the plant busy until next July. The com pany is contemplating an increase in capacity to take care of the demand.
 This increase is due largely to the adoption of a more favorable freight rate, a reduction Of practically 50 per cent having been made by the Con- mission. Formrly the rate per ton was $2.5O for 300-mile haul, and 1t Is now $1.20 per ton for the same dis tance, which will reach any point in the state. More was sold in Septem- Der than in six months last year. There is a heavy demand from the Southern part of the state. From one to three tons per acre is used, depend ing upon the character of the soil.

LAST EFFORT TO BREAK WALL
Germans Hope to Get Through Balk
 ans, Only Weak Spot.

Paris, Oct. 1.-The view of the en- tertained in diplomatic and official quarters that the operations in the Balkans have assumed new and inn portant significance. The Austro- German drive to the southeast is re- garded as sequel to the French suc- cesses in the Champagne and the man. ner in which the Russians have pre- vented developments of their armies. Germany and Austria, according to this view are compelled to seek new field of effort toward the accomplish ment of decisive results as we'll as for the attempt to break through the en- veloping ring of the allies.
 It is conceded the Germans have gained substantial successes in the past year in Belgium, France and PO- land. Nevertheless, Europe, as a whole, is vast theater of war, and the entente powers are now as one French observer expressed it, maintaining effective resistance against further German advances through France to the west; through Italy to the south, or through Russia to the east. Thus only one weak spot, it is pointed out here, is left-to the southeast in the Balkans.
 It is therefore maintained that the allies, having demonstrated their pow CT of resistance in all directions ex- cept in the southeast, Germany is now massing her forces against the one remaining point where she may be able to break through the encircling wall This is believed to be one of the cheif reasons for the extent of the Austro-German movement to force a way to Constantinople and the routes leading to the Orient, as we'll as for the counter movement of the allies in landing large forces at Saloniki, in terposing barrier across this path of exit

TEUT0NIC INVAS-
 ION OF SERBIA
Despite Continued Advance of Cen. tral Powers into Serbia, Nothing
 Indicates Bulgarian Activity.

London, Oct. 11.-While the armies of the Central Empire continued to advance into Serbia nothing has yet been made public to indicate any, thing in the nature of an actual mili- tary move by Bulgaria against Serb is except the report that an assault is momentarily expected on the rail- road connecting Nish and Salonki Roumania is showing increasing a. larm on account of the threatened mill itary movement by Bulgaria and the central powers in close proximity to the frontiers but neither Athens or Bucharest is exhibiting and readiness to depart from policy of benevolent neutrality toward the tripple entente powers.
 The official reports of the fighting along the major fronts were meager today the only significant point in any of them being the statement from Berlin that Field Marshal Von Hin denburg on the Dvinsk front had re- pulsed Russian attacks which seem- ingly would indicate that for the first time since the German drive through Poland began the Austro-Germans are making no big offensive at any point along the whole eastern front.
 Of the fighting in the west the French statement in reviewing the recent attack on Loos says the Ger mans left between 1000 and 5000 dead before the positions which they tried in vain to capture. The meet ing of the British parliament tomor- row promises to be of unusual i'm portance. The Anglo French loan of $50O000,000 obtained in the United States will be discussed and ratified although there will probably be a few dissenters who have been found to oppose every act of the govern ment since the war was dclared

FALL BREAKING
One of the Most Beneficial Things fol
 the Farmer, Says Commissioner.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-(Special.)- Commissioner John H. Page, in a let ter to the farmers, to-day, has the fol- lowing to say in regard to fall break ling:
 "One of the most beneficial, and yet
 one of the least practiced steps, in the permanent upbuliding of our soil, is that of fall breaking and turning un- Ider of all weeds, stalks. stubble and grass on the land after the crops have lbeen gathered. All such vegetation
 will permanently improve the soil by poviding humus, which is one of those clements necessary or soil building, to
 say nothing of the fertilizing value of routed stalks, etc. More fertilizer can be applied in this way than the aver
 age man puts on his soil in the spring | in the way of commercial fertilizer.
 Corn stalks are usually burned be- ore planting in the spring, and yet the
 corn stalks, if chopped and turned un- der in the fall, would be worth more to the coming crcp than three-hundred- pound application of fertilizer of the
 kind generally used. Break the land about an inch deeper than it was brok- en last year.
 "Aside from the fertilizing value oi fall breaking, it is the best farm prac- Itfce, because insects and crop pests are exposed to the cold, and their winter quarters are destroyed, because deep breaking can be profitably practiced in
 the fall, and not in the sprtng. and be- cause moisture will be stored up for
 summer use, the land will be in better
 shape for quick planting when plant ing time comes, and because there is more time for such work in the fall than there is when spring work is lcrowding, and because the stalks and weeds will be in the way of crcp culti- vation, if not burned or saved for the
 soil by deep fall breaking.
 Break your land this fall; turn un-
 der the stalks, stubble, weeds and
 grass; kill out insect pests; get ready
 for an early start next spring. On
 some of the fall-broken land, plant
 either clover, vetch, wheat, rye, oats
 or alfalfa. All are good"

PLANTING A HOME ORCHARD.
 Location

If possible, the home orchard should be planted upon sloping site aiming to avoid frosty pockets" and places where the land is apt to be wet and frosty. If placed upon site where the land is apt to be rather wet, the soil should be tile drained but, as a rule, it is best to plant upon places where no artificial drainage is nec' essary.
 Soil.
 Good fruit can be grown upon a great variety of soils, and it is better to have the home orchard on soil that is not perfectly congenial than not to have any at all. At the same time each fruit seems to have it's soil pre- ferences, and, if possible, we should plan the different fruits where the soil is congenial. As a rule, the stone fruits, like the peach and cherry, like a fairly sandy warm soil, while the plome fruits, such as the apple and pear, demand heavier type of soil. In any case the soil for the home orchard should have the three essentials, good drainage, good texture and fair fer tility.
 Choosing Varieties.
 In choosing varieties for the home orchard, one should not select the same varieties that he would for con- mercial planting. The home fruit grower raises fruit for pleasure and for eating; market value is not of con- cern. This is important, because some varieties are good for the market, but very poor for home use. The conner cial grower might make more money out of the Ben Davis apple, but the Grimes or. Jonathan are much better for home use In the first place se- lect varieties that thrive in your To- cality and give preference to varie- ties of high quality Good culture can not atone in the future for the selec- tion of poor varieties, and, for this reason, it is important to select va rieties of high quality at the begin ming Another factor to consider in the varieties for the home orchard is choosing the varieties that suit your special taste. Each planter will have to decide these things for himself if in doubt as to the varieties best suit ed to your locality and tastes, send to the Arkansas Experiment Station for Bulletin 116
 Selecting Nursery Stock. One cannot be too careful in select ing nursery stock for home planting. The common mistakes made are se- lecting cheap trees and ordering from unreliable nurseries. Cheap trees are poor economy and are very apt to be untrue to name. They are expensive at any price. First class trees from a reliable nursery must be expected to cost more than poor trees from poor ly managed nursery Patronize a nearby nursery, other things being equal, so that you will be able to go and inspect the stock yourself before buying
 Planting.
 The ground for the orchard should be as well if not better prepared than for any farm crop Fall and winter plant'ac is probably best with the conditions we have to deal with in this rAo+e. This enables the tree to get established before spring and there less danger of damage by the sur,~ drought.
