an anxious moment that has also
had it's amusing side. Some three
years ago when the twins were stu
dents at Liberty ladies' college, they
decided that staying for the frat

dents would be a much gayer and
more novel way of spending Christ
mas than to go home and do the
usual thing in Junction City. They
wrote their father of their decision.
Father Is a fine lawyer and q man

they did 1t. But father met friend
in the station after meeting and
greeting them, and became engross-

he was busy. the daring twins took
one of the numerous trains back to

Nautical Speed Terms.

Knot" the conventional nautical mile per hour, is assumed to be 6.080 feet. statute mile is 5,2S0 feet. For navigating purposes a mile of latitude and q minute of latitude are consid- cred to be of equal value. Consequent ly nautical mile equals the length of minute of the meridian, and. strictly speaking. is different for every latitude The United States sea mile is 6,oS266. For charting and other purposes ten cables equal one knot, although a cable length is gen. erally assumed to be 600 feet. The term knot" originated from the fact that knots were tied in the log line which was used to ascertain the rate of speed ship was making through the water.

 ly because the scarcity of feed does not justify the Arkansas cattle raiser In keeping them. He is forced to sell or lose money.
 The greatest cause of this decrease in the number of home cattle, however, is death. Cattle, like other domestic animals are heir to many diseases Every year cattle raisers of this state lose hundreds of thousands of dollars on cattle dying from tick fever, but the most rapaeious disease among Arkan- sas cattle and the enc that causes more deaths than probably any other one factor, is starvation aided more or less by last seasons tick crop
 We say we cannot afford to buy feed for those starving animals. yet there is one resource, our credit. It would pay to mortgage those cattle to raise the price Of little grain for them to eat, In early summer when they have had chance to fatten We can sell those we can spare to pay off the mort gage. Two pounds of cotton seed meal per day contain more nourishment than all those bleached out stalks a COW can hold In sixty days we shall begin to have good pastures. Twen, tv heat eat forty pounds day Sixty days requires 2.400 pounds of cotton seed meal. Feeding that to your eat. tie will leave a fertilizer on your field that will cost S3046.

New Game Law In force.

The measure for a new. game law, enacted by the last legislature, has been signed by Governor Hays and is now a law. It is the first real game law Arkansas has ever had. No county is exempt.

 Written permission is required  when the hunter desires to go up- on the enclosed lands of another. The bag limit is Is quail and 25 ducks for one day. Licenses are requires as follows: On bird dogs s each per year; fishing with arti- ficial bait, $1; trapping for fur bearing animals with more than 10 traps, $1O.

SPRAYING TIE IRISH
 POTATO FOR BLIGHT
BORDEAUX MIXTURE UcED sUc- CESSFuLLY AT EXTREME STATION FARM AT FAYETTE- ViLLE-OTHER MIXTURES.

The early crop of Irish potatoes in Arkansas is especially subject to frut troubles that can be kept out largely by spraying. These are the early blight, sometimes called black rust, and the Colorado potato beetle, some- ines called simply the potato bug The early blight causes the loss often IS much as fifty per cent of a crop because of the failure to form tubers It makes matters worse in a dry sea- son, and in dry seasons causes tho greatest trouble. Every Irish potato grower should spray for the blight because it is so wide spread that there is hardly potato patch in the state free from it, and we should spray also for the potato beetles if they appear in the potato patch. The spray for the beetles can be simply added to the regular spraying for the blight and will cost no more for ap- plicatiop, the only cost being the small amount for the poison
 For the early blight use Bordeaux mixture at the strength of 4-4-50 This is the ordinary Bordeaux mixture For the potato beetle you can add to this mixture when you are making the or dinary spraying, five or six ounces of Paris green to every 50 gallons of spray mixture, or you can use two or three pounds of arsenate Of lead paste to 50 gallons of this spray mixture.
 The regular spraying will be given as follows: The first one when the po- tato plants are about inches high, the second and third ones at intervals of about two weeks following this. Usually these three will be sufficient in any ordinary season.

lumber Notes.

A great deal of the oak used on the Pacific coast comes from the eastern part of Asia.
 The timber industry represents 5z per cent of the annual produc- ton of wealth of British Columbia. Virginia uses more wood for boxes and crates than any other state. followed by New York, llli- nois. Massachusetts and California, in the order named.
 The annual cut of British Co., timber is approximately 2 billion feet. There are 42O mills and z9O logging camps in the province, employing about 6o,OOo men.
 Boxmakers in the United States use more than four and half bill- ion board feet of lumber each year, or more than one-tenth of the en- tire lumber cut of the country.
 In parts of the west where trees are scarce, sage brush is used for fuel. In Nevada the large main
  stems are trimmed by Indians at $500 a cord and delivered to the user at about $6.5O. Sage brush burns rapidly and is rather dirty, but produces good heat.
