LIKE PIECE OF FARMLAND
Remarkable Cavern, Known as Shat.
tuck Cave, Discovered When
Miner Sets of Blast.

A blast In the Shattuck mine In
Arizona, set for the purpose of bring
ing down ore, was responsible for the
discovery of n remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck Cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some of the finest of which have been
added to the collection at the Michigan
College Of Mines.
When the miner who had been work
Ing in that part Of the S00-foot level
returned with the night shift he found
a great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, In the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shaft
and declared that he had blasted a
hole clear through the surface.
On investigating the mine official
found that the blast had opened n
great circular cavern 3i5 feet in diam
eter and 175 feet high, which seemed
like n piece of fairyland. On the roof
myriads of crystals reflected the lights
from the miners lamp. The walls. the
roof and the floor were covered with
great clusters Of crystals, and neal the
center of the avern n mass Of stalac-
tltes, 40 feet long, hung from the cell
ing like a great chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white, but In places where the
altering waters had contained iron and
copper great transparent s~talactites
and stalagml.es, some ruby red, 9th
ers n clear emerald green or azure
blue, added to the beauty of the scene

Save the Best For ssad.

All cotton is not good cotton. Some varieties have the ability to produce from $12.00 to $15.00 worth of cotton per acre more than others, according to results obtained at the Arkansas Experiment Station This difference has largely been brought about by careful selection of planting seed. Un- der the usual farming conditions in Arkansas cotton deteriorates very rapidly from year to year because of failure to select the best seed and because of admixture at time oG gin ming. This deterioration can be over. come and cotton can be improved by careful seed selection Choose next years planting seed while the crop is still in the field Have good pickers 20 over the field ahead of the regu. lar force and save the best bolls from the best plants, choosing from those that show ability to yield watch also for earliness, for size of boil and for storm resistance. Get the best, get enough of the best to make at least one bale. have this ginned free from admixture and save the seed for plant. ing purposes. Good seed selection will mean an increase of several dol lars per acre next yesr.

PLAIN QUESTIONS
 TO MENA PEOPLE
Every Mena Reader Will Admit the
 Soundness of the Logic.

Would Mena people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were -not -reliableg Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the reme- dy to be deserving of it? State ments like the following must car " conviction to the mind of every reader:
 s. Badt, merchant, 6O6 Seventh St, Mena, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medi- cine ever used and many people to whom I have recommended them speak in the highest terms of their curative powers. I suffered from backache for couple of years and finally used Doan's Kidney Pills. They fixed up my kidneys in good shape"
 OVER FIVE YEARS LATER MT. Badt said: We still use Deans Kidney Pills occasionally and al- ways with the same good results. I am never without this medicine in the house"
 Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that Mir. Badt has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster -Milburn Go, Props Buffalo, NY. Adv

Form of Lime To Use.

If it is desired to grow clover or alfalfa on a soil that has been found to be acid, lime in some form must be used to correct the acidity or the attempt to get a stand is almost cer- tain to be a failure Lime may be applied as ground limestone, ground shells, ground burned lime. slacked lime, or wood ashes. The safest and usually the cheapest form of lime to use is ground limestone or ground shells. An unlimited amount of such material could be used without in jury; whereas if an excessive amount of burned or slacked lime or wood ashes is used, the crop may be in- jured and much humus destroyed in the soil However. if the burned or slacked lime is used in moderate quantities (not to exceed 1,500 pounds per acre) no injury will result. In most cases it will be found more sat isfactory to use the ground limestone. because it is cheaper, less unpleas- ant to handle, and is safer
 Ground limestone should be applied at the rate of about two tons per acre. If very large proportion of the material consists of coarse parti- cles from one-eighth to one-fourth inch in diameter a larger quantity should be used The finer the rock is ground the more quickly it becomes available, but the finer grinding adds materially to the cost of production, hence in many cases, it is cheaper to use three or four tons of the coarse material rather than two tons of fine ly ground rock. Tn no case, however. should ground limestone be purchased which conta.ns particles larger than one-fourth inch and large propor- ton of all limestone used should con. sist of fine powder
 Ground limestone may be spread with special lime distributors, many styles of which are on the market. or it may be spread from wagon with shovels. Tn case the latter method is used care should be taken to insure an even distribution. otherwise the crop will not be uniform. It should be spread on plowed ground and eith- CT disked or narrowed in. Lime should never be pIowed under as that buries it too deeply to be of benefit to the germinating seed which needs it most.
 Ground limestone should always be purchased in carload lots. In case one farmer is unable 10 use so much, several should combine in order to get the benefit of the lower freight rates.

Clover and Alfalfa Should Be Raised For Stock--orain Is Needed
 For Human Food.
hy D. F. Hungerford, Assistant Agron-
 omlst University of Arkansas

Live stock growers in Arkansas are becoming more interested in the clo- vers and alfalfa because the deman for grain as human food has so in- creased the price that live stock men must rely upon legume hay largely t0 take the place of grain in feeding their animals
 Those who attempt to raise these legumes should remember that al- falfa and most of the common clov- CTS require a soil that is well sup piled with lime to insure their best development, Soil aeidity. which means the absence of lime from a soil, is especially injurious t0 alfalfa and sweet clover Neither of these crops appear to be able to resist, per manently, even slight degree Of acidity Red clover is nearly as sen sitive to an acid condition as alfalfa. White, also crimson and burr clover are slightly more resistant but will not do well on soils that have even medium acidity. Japan clover or lespedeza appears to be the most re- sistant of all the clovers to acid con dition: but even though it will grow to a limited extent on very acid soils, it does much better on soils contain ing lime.
