SUGGESTIONS FOR
 CURING BALKY HORSE
Experienced Horseman Tells of
 Simple Little Trick Which
 He Says Works Successfully

The following article by AL
 fred H. Pope, on Curing a
 Balky Horse, 5 appeared in q
 recent issue of "Our Dumb l Animals" and is re-published lin The Journal with the hope that it may prove beneficial to some of our readers who may some time have to deal with a
 balky horse.
 of all vices that equine flesh is heir to, the most an- moving to the average horse owner is baking. The main treason is that so few know how | to handle balky horse.
 "The little simple trick 1 am going to describe and that has proved so satisfactory in SO many cases is not intended to break the horse of baking which in most cases involves a lot of time, patience, and more or less thorough knowledge of horse nature, but rather to help you get start in the direction of getting results that will lead to a complete cure if yourhorse lis properly handled.
 "A horse has only one idea in his head at a time, and when he balks he has decided not to go any further with that par ticular load, and coaXing and batting are not sufficient to cause him to think of anything else Whipping only makes him more stubborn and determined mot to move. Now we have got to find something that will give him something else to think about.
 All horses hate to have their ears hampered. In fact no horse ever decides upon a diff ferent course of action without first moving its ears from the normal position, and here isthe key to the whole idea. As soon as 1t balks get down from the seat and deliberately take one ear and push it under the crown piece of the bride so that 1t Is fast and leave the horse to it's own devices for a 1 flew minutes. He will commence shaking his head and doing ev- erything he can think of to get that ear loose, until he has for gotten all about baking, and his whole thoughts are eentered upon freeing that ear. Now let the driver get back on theWag- on, call on the horse to start. and off he goes. l have proved this trick to be successful with horses that thought it nec- esSary to buck and pitch. Leave the ear where it is for about twenty minutes, then stop and free it. Let the horse have time to shake his head and be satis- fled that everything is all right again, and off he will go as pleasantly as possible.
 "As l said before, this trick will not break horse from baking, but it will invariably start one that has baked onthe road, provided he hasn't al- ready been whipped and abus- ed to a point where nothing y

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
 IN FARM CONDITIONS
Growth of Agrcultural Club
 Work Among Young Farm CTS Marks Progress of State

The growth of the agrieul- |tural club work in the state IS one of the most striking phases of the New Agriculture in Ark ansas. It is an index to the im- proved methods that are more and more becoming the rule among tilIers of the soil in this state. The government has placed experts at the head of the various departments of this work, and they have won the confidence and cooperation of Arkansas farmers to an extent that was not considered possi- HbIe two years ago. Having dem- onstrated their ability to help the farmers, they are now ac- Hcepted as one of the most im- portant factors in the develop Iment of Arkansas farming in- Iterests.
 There are 113 employees in the various branches of the work in the state, all operating under the direction of the Ag- iricultural Extension Service of i the State University.
 It is encouraging to note that boys corn clubs have been or ganized in 69 counties. with a total membership of 3100. There are Pig Clubs in fifty counties. with two thousand members. There are 600 boys Ienrolled in the Cotton and Pea nut Clubs.
 There are girls canning clubs in 34 counties, with 2500 members. There are 800 enroll ed in the poultry clubs, and about 1700 in the Home Dem onstratiOn work.
 This makes a total of about nine thousand boys and girls enlisted in the cause of improv- ed agricultural methods, com pared with only $500 last year There are also about thou sand negro boys and girls or. ganized in clubs.
 These rapidly increasing army of young men and womef
 brought up under expert in.
 struction will soon dominate
 the agricultural interests o1 the state, taken together witf the graduates of the four agri
 cultural schools, and the thou sands who are every year talk ing the summer courses iron the University Extension teach
 CTS. Such an army as this o-
 educated farmers, trained il
 diVersification, intensive culti
 vatiOn, crop rotation, co-opera
 tive marketing, and conserva
 ton will soon remake the state |of Arkansas. No longer are tho i forces engaged in this worl

 IS sought and followed. Ant

The Problem Of War Widows.

A circular letter was sent out by
several rabbis of Austria to their
colleagues in the provinces calling
their attention to the danger of many
women whose husbands have fallen
in the war, but of whose death no
authentic proof has been furnished,
remaining Agunoth, i. e., in the
status of married women who could
not remarry. 1t is suggested that
every husband who is leaving for
the front give his wife a conditional
divorce and that a year after peace
has been declared, the women should
be permitted to remarry, if the hus-
band does not return. In case of
difficulty, the rabbis are advised to
call in the assistance of their COL
leagues in the matter.

HANDSOME WHITE POTATOES

At one time last fall the cry went
out that there was a very short crop
of white potatoes. and when the farm
ers dug the crop from the ground, it
was found that there was really a
surprisingly good yield of splendid
potatoes. We have a 5s-basket of
potatoes which we're grown in front
of the Saxton's school house, near
Bowers Beach, ON one of the farms
owned by Mrs. J. Frank Salevan, of
near Milford, which is filled with ex-
ceptionally fine potatoes. The farm
is tenured by Wilbur Camper, who has
dug a large amount of fine tubers
from the patch in question. The po-
tatOes are of the red skin variety. and
exactly thirty-six of them filled the
basket. The piece of land on which
they were grown has not been titled
in years because of the fact that it
formerly constituted part of the play
grounds at SaXtOn's school. With
the Strengthening of the roadway at
that point the land was released for
use. while other sections were taken
for school purposes.
