WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

National Crop Improvement Seryice.]
There Is an old story about ship
captain who had a medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.
Al in his book was the indicated rem
edy, but alas! the bottle OF No. AZ
was empty, so he took equal parts OF
No. 40, which was strychnine, and
No. Z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. AZ
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
that many a feeder will think that il
little of cottonseed or oilseed meal
Is good, a whole lot will be better.
And, like the man who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed hin.

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
for Those Now Used, Because Of Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many of the more commonly used metals has led manufacturers to adopt or consider the adoption of various substitute metals or alloys for certain purposes. The advice of the bureau of standards has frequently been sought in this con nection. An Interesting field of inycs. tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
 It appears that the metals tradition ally and currently used for various articles are in many cases no better adapted for the purpose than others. and Il slight difference in price would warrant substitution. It Is not usu- ally possible, however, to suggest sub stitutes offhand. as there are many factors involving manufacturing pccu- liarities. durability and other physical and chemical properties that first have to be determined. There is." says the bureau. "a very wide field of research here, which would undoubtedly repay manyfold the efforts put upon it."- Scientific American.

Large Plat of Ground Has Been Set Aside For Agricultural Demon stration Work, and Experts
 Will Be Employed.
Burdet tS.


 Burdette, the home of the Three States Lumber Company of Memphis and Chicago, just south of Blytheyille. promises to eclipse anything in this section of Arkansas in the way of educational advantages for village that is now known, and the announce ment shows plainly the handiwork of c. H. Gilchrist, the president of the company.
 Last week c. W. Ramsey, manager of the local Burdette plant, with Prof. ]. W. Oliver of the schools at the village and Dr. Webb, the company physician, took an extensive trip through the north as far as Chicago and Muncie. Ind, inspecting 30 school systems, getting ideas to be worked out on the local educational plat for Burdette. On their return home the announcement is made that a 330,000 school building will be erected at once, that a manual training school for boys will be established and a do- mestic science department for the 6HlS, duu lldI dh eAAduStiVS "SiiNoi tural experimental plant and work will be placed in at once, that man. ual training school for boys will be established and domestic science de- partment for the girls, and that an exhaustive agricultural experimental plant and work will be placed in At once.
 A large plat of ground has been set aside for the agricultural demon stration work, and experts in each of the lines mentioned will be employed who will work under the University of Arkansas direction to train the young people of that locality in the best that is known in each department.
 Last year and this the Burdette schools have done much in the agri- cultural line. with small agricultur- al plat near the school building. which was tended by the pupils and with such success that the idea is now 70 be improved on as the wish of Mir. Gilchrist.
 The new school building will be planned on the most scientific plans by Memphis architect. and when the idea is worked out Burdette will have something worth while in the rural school lines which other locali- ties and other states may well take note of
