Don't C0ddle With
 The Cooling Moths
T DESTROYS APPLES. EATS HOLE IN YOUR PURSE. IS
 EASY TO CONTROL

Have you an apple orchard?
 Do yau want that orchard to produce every apple that it is capable of producing under nor mai conditions?
 Do you want a healthy tree and a healthy, fully developed apple?
 If you do, and it is natural to suppose you do, go out now and look for loosened scales of bark on the apple trees and scrape them off. If you find small worms or larva of codling moth, kill them at once and your apple tree will produce at lest one-half bushel more of apples this year.
 Each adult moth lays from 50 to 75 eggs, all of which hatch.
 Also examine your peach trees about this time and see if the borers are present. This can be determined by removing the dirt around the base of the tree to the depth of four or five inches. With a long bIaded knife scrape a portion of the tree thus un- covered. If the worms ar e present you can find them in this way.
 When the worms are removed and killed the soil should be re- placed and slightly hilled so that next year the adult moth will be forced to deposit her eggs higher on the tree, thus making them easier to locate and destroy.

CRUEL AND lNHUMAN.

All Bagdad was there to hear tnC Caliph pronounce sentence, not be cause the Caliph was a capital pro aouncer, but because the prisoner's 3rime had been heinous. The con yicted man was a poet who had writ ten some verse to the Caliph's thirty eighth daughter, thereby meriting a sentence equal to the offense.
 Flushed was the court room as the poet-prisoner, shaking from fright, was led in. Stately was the Caliph as he passed this sentence upon the guilty one:
 Prisoner, under the Editoranean law, which says the Caliph regrets great press of available matter-and so forth I might sentence you to join your contributions in the wastebasket Again, I could send you to the galleys, there to wear out your life awaiting release.
 "But no!-such trifling punishments are too light for you-you are accus- toned to them.
 "Prisoner!"-here the Caliph's face grew graver, and his auditors leaned forward" prisoner, I sentence you to live, clothe yourself, and be happy on the proceeds of jokes you must make and sell. Furthermore, you are hot to accept any money other than that de rived from the sale of your jokes"
 zJA nouncement the prisoner staggered, raised his hands above his head, and fell at the Caliph's feet-dead.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

The Kansas City cattle market advanced 50 to 75 cents last week, except stockers and feeders, which gained 15 to 50 cents.
 Receipts here today are 10000 head and killing grades are selling about stea d y, wit h a shade of weakness, stockers and feeders strong and active, No highly finished killing steers are here, the best bringing $8.75 today, but strictly prime steers might sell around 1925, and best heavy COWS bring $7.25. Quarantine prices have not been fully tested recently, some fair meal fed steers weighing 1, 1,026 pounds selling at $7 today, and other lighter steers at $6. 40 and S6.70. Stockers and feeder meet good demand, and are apt to get further advances in the next few weeks. Iowa bought some cattle here last week, practically the first in six weeks, but Illinois and other quaranUined states have not bought any since the first of November. As the quarantines are raised the demand will in- crease. Kansas has laid in larger number of cattle this fall than in any recent year. While some of these cattle are ready to move to market whenever prices are attractive, there will not be any oversupply at any time this winter. Feeders are selling at $7.25 to $500, stockers S6.75 to $500, a few cattle on either side of these quotations.
 Hogs made a small net gain last week, and are 10 to 15 high CT today. Larger receipts at Chicago and St. Louis and light htA supplies here, keep prices at Kansas City as high as at mar kets east, sometimes higher. Top here today is $7.40, Chicago same, St. Louis same, St. Joseph $6.37 1-2. Receipts here are only 4, 900 today. Within a week or two Buffalo, Cleveland and other eastern markets will get fewer hogs, and order buyers here will want more hogs. Hay pork is 75-cents above a week ago, and fresh pork is making a good profit for killers, incentives for active buying at the stock yards.
 Lambs have advanced half a dollar in the last week, including a gain of 15 to 25 cents today. and sheep are 25 higher than week ago. Receipts are moder- ate, 1, 200 here today, and will continue light. Pea fed lambs sold at $8.70 and $8. 75 today, lambs weighing 77 pounds, and others 86 pounds, are bringing the top price. Ewes are quotable up to $6. Locally the situation is strong and if any bear influence is felt it will have to come from the outside. J. A. RICKART,
 Market Correspondent.

All in the Vision,

Some people think that everything in the world is twisted and corrupt, and that no human being can be trusted. Others who are wiser feel very differently about it.

Soldiers Most Trying Position.
B. E. Robertson

The average soldier finds the most terrifying position to be that of stand ing motionless in the front rank, ex. posed to the enemy's fire without be- ing able to reply. The order to ad- vance or to charge with fixed bayonets is then received as a release from agony. Movement, even into greater peril, distracts the mind and greatly reduces the mental anguish.

 Dairying furnishes large quan- titles of manure for the cotton fields and thereby returns to the land about 75 per cent of the fertilizing value of the crops which the cows have consumed. Likewise the cottonseed meal, so largely used as a nitrogenous fertilizer, is one of the best milk producing feeds and loses only a small percentage of it's fertiliz- ing value when fed to cows.

 If every farmer in Arkansas would memorize this little motto and recite 1t every day till it's truth has had time to soak in, and then live up to it's truth, Arkan- sas would soon be much better prepared to feed herself. Diver sified farming won't run itself without a diversified man" to conduct it.
 The old Arkansas cotton fields now lie brown and bare in amute appeal to their owners to wake up and begin to feed them. If Arkansas is to feed herself, she must begin to feed her fields that for years have been yielding up their original store.
 Diversified crops do not insure a permanent farming system un- less marketed chiefly through live stock. This is the experience of every old farming community in the world.

 The most prosperous small far mers found during the profitable farming campaign were those who had a feeding shed for their stock and were hauling the stored up manure to their fields and gardens. They had money coming every few weeks and their fields were as productive as ever.
 Right now is the time to save up all the manure and get a start m the right system. 1t won't be long until we can say in Ark ansas like they do in many other states, "Everybody's doing it. ;

NOONAo ANA CAANAhA S~A OAAN ASS5 NAAAAAA ous crops, such as soy beans, vetches, lespedeza and o t h r clovers, velvet beans, alfalfa, etc. These crops are prominently soil builders, since they gather nitrogen from the air. Nitrogen is the most expensive element of fertilizers, and it is a valuable part of a ration for dairy cows. The rotation of crops and the manure from the cows continual ly going to the land will o 0 n double the production of cotton per acre and at the same time decrease the fertilizer bills.
 This increased production will enable the farmer to raise on a smaller area of land as much cot ton as, or more than, he does at present.
 Dairying furnishes a goo d home market for all the fee d crops which can be grown on the farm, In rural districts and small towns the local markets for most of these crops are very limited, and often-times the con- paratively small amounts possess ed by the farmer make it un- profitable to transport them to the larger markets. This is especially true if the roads are bad. In such cases dairy cows furnish the means for converting these crops into finished products which are easily transported and which bring good prices.
 Dairying also enables the far mer to utilize for feed and bed- ding large quantities of rough age, such as straw, corn stover, shucks, and coarse and weedy hay, which can not ordinarily be sold in the market.
 Often two crops can be grown on the same land in one season. By growing such crops as corn, sorghum, pea vines, etc., after the wheat, oats, or rye crop has been cleared off, excellent feed crops can be provided at min imum cost of growing, because of the small amount of cultiva- tion necessary. These crops can be preserved in the silo, and thus the COWS are provided with good succulent feeds for winter feeding and when pasturage is short. With roots, leguminous hay, silage, stover, straw, and the cottonseed meal obtained by exchanging cotton seed, all the feed for the COWS is raised on the farm.
 Climatic conditions in t h e South are favorable for dairying. Less expensive buildings for the protection of cattle are required than in colder climates. This reduces the expense for care and housing. The long grazing season and the many excellent grasses which grow luxuriantly make it possible to produce milk, butter, and cream at a low cost for a large part of the year.
 The scarcity and high price of good dairy cattle are other attrac- tive considerations, for after a farmer has become established in the business the sale of surplus cattle can be made a source of considerable income and profit.
 The skim milk obtained from a herd of cows is one of the best supplementary feeds for hogs and poultry. These two lines of live stock furnish profitable cash side lines ana naturally go hand in hand with dairy farming. Large quantities of condensed milk, butter, cream, and cheese must now be purchased in other sections. The South can produce these at home. If the supply is constant and the quality good,
