ONE OF NAPOLEON'S IDEAS
He Founded St. cyr Military Academy
to Get Cavalry Leaders From
Good Families.

The great French military acad-
emy of st. Cyr, about which so much
is heard in these days, was, of course,
founded by Napoleon. One of Ma
poleon's chief military difficulties
was to obtain officers for his new ar
mics, and it was mainly with view
to overcoming this difficulty that he
organized the great military college
at st. Cyr-DEcole. He specially
wanted to secure good cavalry lead
ers, and convinced of the necessity
of such leaders being of good fam
ily," he issued the curious instruc-
ton that those who fulfilled require
ments in this respect should be "ex-
amined with indulgence as regards
knowledge of arithmetic and geom-
etry."-Christian Science Monitor.

SEE THAT THE LIVESTOCK GETS

pertinent Station.
While 1t is generally recognized by
the farmers of Arkansas that they
must feed salt to their livestock, this
matter does not always receive the at.
tention 1t deserves. All animals re-
quire an amount of mineral matter de-
pending upon their live weight and
whether they are growing or produc-
ing milk. II they do not get the re-
quired amount at any particular time,
they will draw on the supply stored
in the body for their daily needs. This
leads to malnutrition and is dan.
gerous.
A dairy COW, for example needs
about an ounce of salt per day, and
this amount is especially necessary il
the flow of milk is heavy. The salt
is best fed mixed with the feed. It
is believed by some that this amount
OF salt is not enough, but as too much
salt is almost as bad as too little, it
Is best not to exceed this amount.
II 1t is thought that the animal Is
not getting enough salt 1t would he
well to place salt in some place acces.
sible to the stock and unmixed with
any feed. In this way there would be
little danger that the animal would get
too much of this material. Dairy COWS
also require considerable amount Of
lime and phosphoric acid. -

Irish POTATO IS
GOOD MONEY CROP
Present Yield Is Entirely Too Low
Caused BY Insects and Improper
Selection Of seed.
by w. H. Wicks, College Of AgMcul-
ture, Fayetteville. Ark.

ture, Fayetteville. Ark.
According to the last annual census
there were grown in Arkansas 1,600.-
BOO bushels of Irish potatoes which
were produced approximately on a to-
tai OF $4,000 acres or at the rate of
Bixty bushels per acre. This yield is
entirely too low and Is due to such
causes as improper selection Of seed,
planting diseased stock, improper cul-
tivation and use of fertilizers, lack Of
Fighting insect and disease pests, poor
grading and unsuccessful marketing.
NJ Arkansas farmers can well afford
10 give the Irish potato serious con-
federation in making plans for the
year because 1t is attracting more at
tention in the Southern States each
year as a money making crop for the
early market. Assuming that one
third of the entire yield of potatoes
IN 1914 for Arkansas were culls, and
allowing 80 cents per bushel for the
remainder Of flrst-class marketable po-
tatoes, the potato industry was worth
TO the State Of Arkansas in 1914 the
sum Of 100000.
The States of New York, Maine and
Wisconsin, for example, have become
widely known through their potato
production. Southern states occupy
an entirely different field in the pro.
auction Of Irish potatoes and we
mould turn our attention to the pro.
auction Of early potatoes for market
which are good early in the year when
competition from the Northern potato
,growing sections will not be exper-
ienoed. All varieties are now classi-

SPREADING LOS ANGELES.

Los Angeles is the largest city in
the United States. Someone will
doubtless arise to controvert this
statement by a show of figures. But
the fact remains that Los Angeles is
the largest city-in the matter of
area. Through recent annexations
the City of the Angels now includes
a territory of 337.9S square miles,
against BATS for New York, 1893
for Chicago, 1879 for Philadelphia
and $3.50 for Minneapolis. The
haste of the suburbs Of Los Angeles
to get in under the city limits, where
the taxing is good, is due to the de-
sire to get the city's water. Water in
California is liquid happiness, and
Los Angeles has recently completed
a $S3,O00,000 aqueduct that brings
the best of water from the noun
tains. The city is not permitted by
the laws to sell water outside Of the
limits, hence the desire of the outly.
ing districts to get in. This 337.9G
miles OF area in Los Angeles helps
to explain the $4,000 population
now claimed for the city. As long
as the water and the climate hold
out, these figures will continue to
grow, till the saturation point comes.
Sharp County record., 1917-03-30

The markets in the United States
demand the following varieties which
are given in order of their import
ance:
One-Rural.
Two-Green Mountain.
Three-Early Ohio.
Four-Burbank
F1ve-1rish Cobbler.
Six-Bliss Triumph.
Peerless (Pearl).
For Southern growers, the early
maturing red-skinned varieties such
as Early Rose, Bliss Triumph. STRAW
Beauty Irish Cobbler, Green Noun
tain and Rural New Yorker are the
most highly desirable on account of
their early maturity and the fact that
early markets are accustomed to as
sociate such characteristics Of these
varieties with the early potato trade.
Bliss Triumph, Early Rose and Stray
Beauty are red varieties, while the
Irish Cobbler, Green Mountain and
Rural New Yorker are white varieties.
There are a number of varieties SUI
perior in many ways to the ones lust
named, but the only guide the grower
may safely use is to grow what his
market demands and the shortcom-
ings OF the variety must be overcome
by the grower by practicing the best
cultural methods.

Must Eradicate tho Tick.

Must Eradicate the Tick.
Arkansas can never become a great
dairy state until the tick is eradicated.
Ticks not only suck the blood from
our animals and stunt them as we'll
as make It impossible to produce milk
most economically, but they make II
expensive and impractical to import
better slres In great numbers in an
effort to grade up the cattle we have
and eliminate the scrub.
Better Care Necessary--Brlngs
Returns.
II is true that the cattle tick Is large"
ly responsible for the number and
quality OF our native cows; however,
the Indifferent care which the cows
have received Is, perhaps, responsible
even to larger extent. Dairying has
been too much on the summer pasture
basis too long In Arkansas. Most OF
our cows are freshened in the spring
and turned on to the pasture during
the summer to make living and give
what little milk they can produce un
der these conditions. Many OF these
cows go dry by fall and are then
! roughed through the winter on little
or no feed. The best COW In the world
cannot produce milk with such care
There Is no other animal on the
farm that Is 80 hard and 80 willing n
worker as the dairy COW, provided she
Is supplied the raw material to work
with. Considering what the Arkan-
sas farmer puts into his cows In tho
way of feed and care, they are return.
ing to him greater return than any
other farm animal in spite OF the low
production. Give the Arkansas farm
milk COW chance and she will work
day and night, winter and summer,
and produce generously the best food
for your family,

IN DAIRY PRODUCTS
In Some States Each Cow Produces
$100--ln Arkansas II Amounts
To Only SIS.

With less than three milk cows to
every farm and the average product
per COW worth only stF,47 for year,
Arkansas is far behi.3 other states in
the production of dairy products. The
natural advantages for making pas
lures, hay and grain are tremendous,
and the Arkansas farmer can we'll
afford to pay more attention to the
milk COW, is the opinion Of H. e.

in many states is expected to bring In
a gross income Of at least $500 to
$4,000 a year

GEORGE VAN DINTER
HAS UNIQUE TABLE

George L. Van Dinter. AIS Lin
coin way w. has recently complet-
ed a library table which is of more
than ordinary interest inasmuch as
it is made from pieces of walnut
taken from the tower of the old St.
.-oe iron works building. n. Main St,
which was demolished last fall. The
building was erected over rs years
ago and the industry which was
carried on within its walls was the
Oldest in st. Joseph county. The
walnut, which has been manufac-
tured into one of the finest pieces
of furniture in the city, was used in
the supports to the belfry. In those
days it was customary TO toll a bell
10 summon the men TO work and 1t
was here the late James Oliver of
pillow fame used 10 spend his hard
working hours. The workmanship
Of the table, which weighs over 200
pounds, is exceptionally fine, while
the history attached to the material
Of which it is made lends it an ad-
ditional interest.
