BY J. H. MILLER
DON'T FORGET THE
 GARDEN

Don't forget that the garden pays a better rent than any oth- CT spot on the farm. Keep a nice mulch and never let the weeds get ahead. Plant long rows and don't make beds. Plant carrots, collards, egg plant, kohl rabi, okra, squash, pumpkins,sweet corn, n,tomatoes, turnips, beets, and stick in po- tatoes in every waste corner andpatch, and sweet potatoes for folks and pigs. Keep on planting and hoeing.

TEACHERS INSTITUTES

Farmers should insist that their local teachers attend the teachers institutes in June. The teacher has a great work and a great responsibility, and at the teachers institutenewideas may be gained and new inspir- ation for the work. The Exten- sion Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Dept. of Agriculture will probably have a speaker at every institute and many county agents will give lectures at the local institute. All this will mean that agricul- ture will be emphasized at all institutes and hence be better taught in the rural schools next year.

PEAS, BEANS, PEANUTS
 Every acre of corn in Arkan- sas should have peas, beans, or peanuts planted between the rows this summer. We must build up our soil. One county agent reporst that nine-tenths of the corn in his county will have either peas, soy beans, velvet beans or peanuts be- tween the rows. Why not make it unanimous? Better make sure of seed. This plan will not only build up soil but the pigs can do much of the harvesting and with the corn get we'll balanced feed.

The Babylonian empire ended with
the conquest Of the city by Cyrus, B.
@. 5SS. The city itself was partly de-
stroyed by Darius Hystaspis, B. g. 500,
the walls and gates being thrown
down. Later Xerxes plundered and
demolished the temples. Thereafter
the city was neglected and funpopu-
lated, and In time became vast over
grown ruin. Jerome, in the year 400
A. D., writes Of it as having been
made a hunting park for the Persian
kings. The ruins Of Babylon were
hsed as building material In the con.
stfaetion Of at least SIX other cities
thGt have sprung up since Its decay.
So Thorough has been the destruction
Of the 6ace great city that not only

New Stations Opened.

Iowa City.-The state Of Iowa saw
cd S53,17S In the last two years,
through distribution OF diphtheria an
titoxin by the state board Of health.
Daring the biennial period 14.7s2
packages OF diphtheria antitoxin were
used in this state. The market price
Of this antitoxin was $76.534. At the
price the state board Of health secur-
ed the material and distributed 1t, the
consumers paid only 323.s56 for It.
The benefits to the state in the way
Of lessening the severity of diphtheria
can not be measured. No estimate OF
the number Of lives saved by having
q supply Of the antitoxin in practically
every neighbo-hood In the state. can
be made. When the old commercial
prices prevailed, many druggists re-
fused to handle antitoxin. As the re-
suit many children i'll with diphtheria
died before a supply Of sntitoxin
could be shipped out
The state board of health has made
. new contract for diphtheria anti
toxin, under which the prices to the
consumer will be reduced. The con-
mercial price OF the 1000 unit pack
age is 81. The price Of this package
sold under the state board OF health
contract in the last two years was ~
cents. During the 1ext two years the
price willsbe so cents package. The
| 5000 unit package retails at $7.N
| The board Of health has been selling
1t at $2.25, The new price VIII pc
$50. fhe 10000 unit package, re-
failing at $12, has been sold by the
board of health at 81 in the last two
years. The new price will be $3.50.
! The board of health has stations for
the sale OF antitoxin at all important
| centers In the state. The number OF
stations has been $50. BY Jan. !, the
number will be increased to 800. the
new prices will be In effect beginning
the first of the year. The stations
will sell diphtheria antitoxin, tetanus
| antitoxin, typhoid vaccine and small.
/ pox vaccine, under state contract.
There will be reduction in the price
| Of all antitoxin and vaccines under
the new contract.
But few people know that the cost
Of rendering person immune to ty.
phoid fever Is 20 cents. The typhoid
vaccine can be purchased through the
state board Of health stations at that
price.

Swallows Easily Fatiaued.

The mechanism Of fight in the swal-
low is carried through an ascending
scale, until in the swift 1t reaches its
highest degree, both in endurance and
facility of evolution. Although there
are birds which may, and probably do,
attain to the speed Of $50 miles per
hour, this remarkable rate IL not to
be looked for in any of the birds Of
the swallow kind. In their migrati0hs
swallows stick close to land, and new.
er leave it unless compelled. They
cross straits at the narrowest part, and
are the most easily fatigued of all
birds. Apparently, they have no pow
