Demonstration Notes

The County Agent was called to Der some hogs owned by J. w. Reeme. One hog was sick having a tempera- ture of 107 6. Mir Reeme will vaccin- ate as soon as serum arrives from the State Serum Plant at Little Rock.
 Preservative treatment of fence posts and other umbers pays. Poor posts that ordinarily last only one to three years will stand fifteen years or more after being creosoted This treatment will save repair bills on houses and barns.
 Cooperative shipping is on the in crease. A cooperative shipment of hogs on the St Louis market recently represented twenty four owners. ll6 hogs in the load netted $500 more than the best home market. Hogs and cat tie are being shipped comparatively from most every county in Arkansas with complete satisfaction.
 The first crop of potatoes is being dug and are for sale There are more potatoes offered than there is a ready market for. This condition Is always to be found with perishable crop. Remem Der this with the late crop and prepare to store them. Sweet or Irish pota- toes can be safely stored and will keep a long time next fall. Get ready now. In this office are plans for making storage houses. that may be had for the asking.
 No crop farm will permanently prosper Soil will wear out in time. The same crop year after year takes out the same clements of plant food till the yeid is cut. It may also make the soil sour toward that particular crop that is not noticed if another crop is planted. Rotation of crops with legumes alfalfa. cow peas. clover, Eespadeza and live stock will keep the fertility of the land high.
 Lots of alfalfa was planted last fall and spring. The October sown alfalfa ] iIsis tttti tilt pest llliS cal. pN DuN lHE comparatively great deal of money may be saved on the alfalfa seed this fall.

MRS. v. ]. SUCkOW
ENTERS into REST
SUMMONS CONES UNEXPECTEDLY
AT THE HOME OF HER DAUGH.
TER IN DENVER, colo.
INTERxENT TO BE AT GARNER
Went to Denver for Vacation and Rest
Had Been In Ill Health for
Some Time.

The sad news OF the sudden death
of Mrs. w. j. Suckow was received
in Manchester Monday shortly after
one o'clock, and came as a great
shock to the friends Of the family. Al
though her friends knew that she
was In very discouraging state OF
health, no one anticipated that Vie
end was SO near when she and her
husband left for their months vaca-
ton the last OF July. Rev. and Mrs.
Suckow left Manchester late In July
and spent few days with friends at
Garner and then went to Kansas City,
Missouri, where they spent nearly two
weeks. From Kansas City they went
directly to Denver, Colorado, for q
visit, with their daughters, Mrs. e. O.
Hunting, $50 High Street. and Miss
Ruth Suckow, a teacher in the Uni
versity Of Denver. Mrs. Suckow had
been suffering from heart trouble and
q nervous break. and instead Of i'm
proving and resting from her work
she gradually grew worse, until the
summons came early Monday morn
ing.
The remains Of Mrs. Suck0w are
being taken to Garner, Iowa, where
interment will be made. The funeral
patty will arrive at Garner Thursday
Afternoon at 1920. Owing to the un-
certainty OF train connections the fun-
eral hOur waA not known ct the time
OF going TO press this afternoon.
Mrs. Suckow's death comes with
crushing force to her husband. She
had been faithful and devoted wife
and mother, and in her work as Q
minister's wife she labored faithfui-
" and conscientiously. Although In
poor health, she never shirked her
duty as worker In the church and
Sabbath school. She was unusually
efficient and very thorough In her
work in connection with the Sunday
school, and other branches OF church
work. She was the daughter OF a
pioneer Methodist minister, and was
carefully trained from her early
childhood for the noble work she SO
successfully carried on wherever she
and her husband were located. As q
teacher of a Sunday school class Mrs.
Suckow displayed remarkable ability,
During her years OF residence in Man
chester she took keen interest IN
the social life OF the community. She
was member OF the Eastern Star,
the Thirteen club, Audubon club and
Dickens club. In all OF these organ
izations she took an active part, and
will be greatly missed by the mem
bers.
According to message received
from Mr.. Suckow ON Tuesday after
noon, the family left Denver this
morning and will arrive at Garner,
Iowa, Thursday afternoon at 3:2o. The
hour Of the funeral could not be de-
termined until their arrival at Gar
ner.
Mrs. Suckow is survived by her
husband, and two daughters, Mrs. p
o. Hunting and Miss Ruth, Suckow
besides other relatives.
Profound sympathy is felt for Mr
Suckow and his daughters in this
time Of sorrow.
