The great, big event of this year, at Monticello, will be the Annual Fair of the Southeast Ar kansas Fair Association, which will open here on the 10th day of next October. The management have, already, put the speed track in excellent condition, and fast horses will go in training from now on until the opening day of the Fair. Our enterpris- ing citizens have purchased a half dozen or more of fast blood ed horses, and these together with foreign horses, which will be brought here, promises speed ring entertainment of the high est order, every day during the Fair. Another thing which will greatly add to the interest of the occasion, will be fine cattle Many of our most progressive stock k-growers have imported full-blooded Herefords and Dur ham cattle and are preparing to show them at the Fair. This De partment will surpass anything ever before had in this line. The Agricultural displays, always good, will be made better, ii possible, than ever before; and we understand that the ladies have determindd to make thei1 exhibit more elaborate than ev CT before.
 Now is the time to begin get ting ready for the Fair, and witt a little care and the proper en thusiasm and vim there Is noth ing in the way of making the October Fair, at Monticello, ; eorker.

You will have grateful relief from the first dose of Po-Do-Lax. It is a compound laxative, for it not only empties the bowels but stimulates the bile and other secretions. It attacks constipa- tion at its source and you get permanent relief. Po-Do-Lax will give you regular stool and only occasionally you will need it. An excellent liver medicine. soc. at Druggist.

In the German note to Ameri- ca, it is claimed that Germany has twice suggested peace to the warning factions. Perhaps the German terms didn't appeal to the allies. The German plan for peace is for the whole world to fall down and worship her, and let her dictate the course of fu- ture events. Hence, there will be no peace until Germany is soundly thrashed.

 Our clever old friend, Dr. ". A. Brown, of this city, who on account of i'll health, is confined to his room most of the time, sent us last week copy of the Fayetteville, (renn.) Observer, his old home paper, in which are published some articles taken from its files, of 1853. Among these old items we note that Barmun's Menagerie was to show in Fayetteville in May, follow ing the issue of the paper of A pril 18th 1853, and in pencil note, the Dr. says: 'I saw this show" This old paper, also, gives an account of the death of Hon. w. R. King, Nice-Presi- dent of the United States, who died at his residence in Dallas county, Ala, on the 18th of A pril of that year. It records the fact that a daily mail had just been established between Nash vile and Fayetteville. Another item that appeared which would be most astonishing now, Is, that there was scarcity of candi- dates for office. The paper mentions the fact that the Phila- delphia mint is engaged "in eoining silver peices of the de- nomination of three, ten and twenty-five cents. A three cent peice would be a curiosity, now.

Fruit Preparedness"

re. w. Rapp. Oklahoma station.1
Preparedness is absolutely essential
in orcharding. as many have found to
their sorrow. Bugs and diseases are
sleepless enemies. They work silently
and stealthily, and some morning the
grower awakens to find his orchard In
need of spraying. If he is prepared he
begins his battle at once. If not 1t is
generally too late. Spraying materials
are essentials in orchard preparedness.
Preparedness in fruit growing ex-
sends to fruit packages. The expert
.enced orchardist will order his con-
aainers as soon as his fruit prospects
are plain. When the rush season
scomes his boxes are on hand. He is
prepared. Others will wait until the
crop is nearly matured. Their orders
often cannot be filed because of the
great demand at that time. Their fruit
Tipens and rots for containers cannot
be had.

amy farmer can begin by selecting
plants in the cornfield-plants showing
superior vigor. stockiness, abundance
of foliage, ears at right distance from

points. Any farmer can thus originate
his own variety or strain of corn by
careful. rigid and continued selection
carried on year after year. By selec-
ton the farmer is not creating new
plants. as is the case in crossing, but
he is saving out that which nature has
provided as the result of it's process of
crossing
"What has been sad of corn holds
true of wheat. oats, barley and the
sorghums SO far as selection goes, al
though there is little, if any, crossing
by nature as far as wheat, oats and
barley are concerned. 1t Is easy to
get pure strain in working with the
smaller cereals, as they are naturally

nature and consequently generally

CORN SEED RULES,

Every farmer who undertakes the
: growing of corn should raise his own
: seed and should breed up strain
: adapted to his own farm.
The essentials to have in mind are:
Select the earliest and best deve,-

Dry each ear to preserve its vitality
Make a termination test of each ear
separately.
Shell each ear separately.
Grade and hand pick the shelled
seed.
Test the planter.
Select fifty to one hundred of the
best cars to plant in a breeding plot.
Insure against the loss of the select
led strain of corn by saving enough

Fertility.

Fertility.
I'M. F. Miller, Missouri station.1
A ton of clover contains an amount
Sof nitrogen equal to that in four tons
of average barnyard manure. At fer
ailizer prices this nitrogen is worth
between 81 and S. A man can cut
the first crop of clover for hay. and by
turning under the second crop, which
usually weighs about ton, he can
add this nitrogen directly to the soil.
Since on the average soil the nitrogen
in that part of the clover plant above
the ground comes entirely from the
sair, this nitrogen is pure gain to the
land. OF course most farmers prefer
ITO cut the second crop for seed, but
with the increasing need of soils for
nitrogen it is grave question whether
In the long run this is good prac-
tice. In addition to the nitrogen sup
piled by turning under this second
crop, the seed added to the ground
goes long way toward insuring
good clover stand.
The organic matter contained In
ton of clover hay equals that in about
three and one-half tons Of ordinary
;barnyard manure. Organic matter Is
needed badly by most upland soils in
Missouri. The gain to the soil in both
organic matter and nitrogen when this
second crop is turned under is at once
apparent This is one of the things
which should be considered by the
man who is interested in building up
or maintaining his soil. Economically
maintaining soil fertility is the most
important problem of the average land
owner
