KNOCKOUT FOR Mr.. BROWN

Mrs. Brown has q special horror Of

when, m evening, her worthy spouse

that he had Joined a goose club. For
something like an hour she poured the

bands head, while he endeavored
meekly to bear 1t all. " 49,.

were called into action, and he forgot

Breeding Seasons

Arkansas farmers who are in- tending to get into the business of growing good live stock should grasp one of the first lessons, -t that of having regular breeding seasons for hogs, cattle and horses. Good hog breeders in Arkansas want pigs to be farrowed somewhere between February 20 and March 20 and when two filters per year are desired, from September 20 and October 20. Farmers should breed daily cows to freshen about the middle of September, after the bad fly time and with early rye for pasture and other fresh pastures after the fall rains and when butter and cream command good prices. Beef cows should freshen from the middle of February to the middle of March when spring pastures are coming on for both cows and calves good start for good growth by November for the good calf market and they will be old enough then for the dry feed of the winter. These are simple lessons and yet very necessary if farmers are to suc- ceed in meeting market demands. Why not start now and breed daily cows about the middle or last of September.

 Many wagons, buggies, and autos filed with colored citizens formed a part of the parade.
 Colored people were in Brinkley from four counties to attend. In fact the crowd in Brinkley was the largest of the year.
 The colored people who are at the head of this work deserve and have the sincere appreciation and commendation of the leaders of the white citizens, for their progressive, helpful work.
