sH.P YARDS ARE BOOMING

Inc most remarkable change
since the time of the Napoleonic
wars has come suddenly in the
American ship ?building industry.
The last day of December, 1914,
closed one of the poorest years
the American ship yards have
had in a decade. Today every ship
building concern from Bath, Me-,
down to Newport News, in Vir-
gfnia, is working to its fullest ca
pacity, says the New Republic.
One of the largest companies
has orders sufficient to keep 200
men employed full time for two
or three years. Contracts have
been closed for forty-eight ocean
vessels, and negotiations are
pending for sixty more. Prices
have been advanced is per cent,
although that fact is not signiff-
cant. A British company has plac-
ed an order for the building of two
ships in an American yard, a
thing never heard before, and is
likely to order two more.
Apparently the American mer-
chant marine has entered upon
another period Of expansion. The
ships ordered and those for which
marine architects are now draw
ing plans embrace not only pass
enger vessels for the coastwise
trade, but freighters for the Pa
cific and South American service
big cargo carriers for the trans
atlantic business and oil tankers
to go anywhere and everywhere.

Union County in lick Bill.

The Tick Eradication Bill, from which Union county was exempt ed, was amended in the Senate to include the county and has been concurred by the House which means that in two years time Union county should be out of quarantine territory and our cattle worth from $1O to SIS more per head than they are now. Another feature will be that when the ticks are eradicated we can raise pure bred cattle here without danger of losing them.

What Defeat Will Cost.

The Revue, of Paris, gives cal culations regarding the size of the bill which the Allies will call upor Germany and Austria to pay in case the Allies are successful. Ii will amount. says the Revue, to thirty-four billion dollars if the war continues until August 1. After that it will be more.
 That would of course be a crush ing burden of debt for those coun- tries to carry. It would be some- thing like $55O for each man, woman and child. Our own national debt is only $lO each.
 If the German-Austrian- Turk ish alliance should win, the bill presented to the Allies would prob ably be about as large. It would be based upon the costs of the war

MANY DOLLARS SAVED
 BY BUYING PURE SEED
Care in Selecting Parent For 1915 Crop Will Mean Better Yield at Har- vest-2o Per Cent More.

In buying seed farmers should care fully consider the following points if they expect to get the worth of t.leir money: First, where the seed was grown; second, quality of the seed {; third, percentage of germination; fourth, percentage of trash; fifth, purity of seed; sixth, presence and kind of weed seed.
 Seed must become acclimated to any particular section before they will produce the best crops. This often takes two or three years. It is always best to buy seed from neighbor if he has them with the proper quality and purity. However, it will often be nee essary to resort to the seed houses. In that case statement should be SC cured from them stating where the seed was grown. For instance, seed is often shipped in from some distant state for local use, and the farmer may be greatly disappointed with re- suits. It is better to use seed grown east or west of the locality where it Is eV pN oSCu tAlstii tllOSG SiOW II COiSlQtIt- ble distance north or south. It takes only few miles north or south 10 make one day difference in the season. Many farmers make the mistake of buying inferior seed because or the high cost of good seed Yet the in- crease in yield due to the better seed will pay for the difference in the cost of the seed several times, providing the quality is secured. A small sam pie of seed can be sent to the Arkan- sas Experiment Station at Fayetteville and test will be run free of charge. It pays to know.
 Farmers often fail to consider the percentage of trash that seed cor tain. The farmer wants seed, not trash, yet the percentage of weed seed, par ticles of sand and dirt or sticks may make up fifteen or twenty per cent of the weight of the seed and such seed are worth only so or s5 per cent as much as the clean seed.

The Number of the Stars.

The total nu nber of stars, from the first to the seventeenth magni- tude, was recently estimated by a noted astronomer to be 1,6OO,- 100000. That is about equal to the number of people now living on the earth.
 Of course no one could count so many, even if he could spend his whole life in counting. The re- suit is obtained by photographing small squares of the night sky, carefully measured. and then counting the stars that the photo graphic plate shows within some of the squares that appear to con- tain about an average number The number thus obtained, multi

The usual method of propagatine the sweet potato is by means of sprouts or slips" which are obtained by placing the seed potato under pro per growing conditions, namely the re- quifed amount of heat and moisture. The most common sense method of producing heat is by a manure heated hot bed.
 When making a bed select a well drained place with south slope and well protected on the north side If possible build plank frame three feet wide and as long as desired to get the required amount of space, making the north side a few inches higher thar the south side. Throw up @ it.
