Writing in The Arkansas Home stead, A. D. McNair advocates early blowing as being best for the sowing of winter grain. He made two exper- iments near Conway in the fall or 1915, one with oats and one with wheat, both following corn.
 In order to make it possible to break part of the land early some of the corn was cut and shocked and the land broken immediately, while harvested in the usual manner and the land prepared in October and planted immediately after planting.
 Preceding the oats the corn was cut and shocked August IF and the breaking was done immediately thereafter. The rest of the oat land was broken in early October and both came from the press Wednesday, all dressed in it's pretty pink cover It was printed by the New Era Press and IS a credit to MT.

NEW AFRICAN RAILROADS.

Once more %geographers must take
out their maps of Africa and trace

importance in time of peace, was
constructed with remarkable speed

tating the invasion Of German
Southwest Africa by the troops I'M

railway systems of Southwest Africa
and the Union of South Africa, ex-
tending 300 miles from Kalkfontein

line saves many hundred miles Of
travel between points in South At

SLEEP ON FLOATING BEDS
Wounded Soldiers Given Novel Course
Of Treatment in an English Open
Air Military Hospital.

A ward in which the patients sleep
on inflated rubber mattresses half
submerged in tubs filled with warm
water is the latest feature of the ia
nous Open-air military hospital To-
Gated at Cambridge, England.
1t was found that many of the pa
tients arriving at the hospital had
such terrible wounds that they were
not able to bear the pain, and as the
constant administration of opiates
retarded their progress it was decid-
ed by Colonel Grifiths to provide a
bath ward where the bad cases could
spend their entire time in the water.
The water, which is kept flowing
through the tub, is maintained at a
temperature Of 100 degrees. BY a
system of sings the patient lies on a
rubber mattress with his entire body
under water, only his head showing
above the level of the bath. A casual
observer passing through the ward
would never know the patients were
in a tub. The head is in sight, occu-
plying an ordinary pillow, and the
figure seems to be covered by the con-
v%entional hospital blanket. However.
when the flap is opened the body is
seen to be submerged in water, but
lying on a rubber mattress, which i:
pronounced absolutely comfortable
by the patients. One patient whose
thigh had been ripped away by &
shell, has been in a tub continuously
for six weeks. Before he was PLACED
in the tub he said that he feared
that he was going insane from tn,
pain, but during his sojourn in tn,
water he had not felt anything wors,
than the usual discomfort from Ions
confinement in bed.

Experiment Shows

Eggs laid by hens fed plenty of
sour milk cost 1913 cents a dozen
as the years average. Those
laid by hens fed beef scraps, rich
protein foods, cost IL 1-3 cents,
while those fed only on grains
and mash cost % 2-3 cents a
dozen.
These are the results of the
poultry feeding experiments
through a year recently complet-
ed at the College of Agriculture
of the University of Missouri, at
Columbia. The tests were made
on three separate pens of twent
five fowls each, the White Leg
horn being the breed of chicken
used.
The chickens of the first pen
ate during the year $50 pounds
with all the sour milk they
would drink. The feed cost $28.

In the pen in which beef scraps
were fed, the flock ate 1,095
pounds of grain and 422 pounds
of mash, one fourth of the latter
being beef scraps. The cost OF
the feed for this pen was $27.5-
and the number of eggs produced
was 1868.
The chickens in the other per
were fed no meat or protein
foods. They ate 1,046 pounds
of grain, 400 pounds of mash anC
