Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little tiling to
annoy ns, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to lake something
like
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.

Atlanta (ja., writes:
"I have on aeveral orr-vsion* b»»n

CONCRETE DIPPING VATS
The Most Practical Method For Tick
Eradication.
Tin' most practical method for tick
: eradication in Arkansas is the use of
; the concrete dipping vat and the sv«
I tematic dipping of cattle. Immediate
i !y after a county i- placed in the tick
I eradication district, from i»r> to iff
dippinp vats arc huiit in various sec
tions of the county. The vats are lo
cated so that cattle wi!! not have to
he driven more than three miles to
be dipped
Cattle are allowed free range and
are not quarantined in pastures, but
1 every three weeks during the summer
season they are dipped at a designated
vat. Where the majority of peop'e
want to eradicate the tick it only
takes about two years to clean a coun
ty. however, it can lie done quicker.
Tf t onlv reason for taking two years
is that with some cattle owners in
different or hostile, cattle are often
hard to find on the range.
The sy t m of constructing dipping
vats and the systematic dipping of
• ■attic has passed besond the experi
mental stage. In Arkansas the syp
tematic dipping of cattle was first
fried by the writer in Newton county.
The cattle were allowed the fre?
range and were dipped every three
weeks In tile fall they were permit
td to move in the tick-free area by
inspection, and the following year the
county was placed to the north of til#
quarantine line

Second Crop of Potatoes.
To grow a second crop of Irish po
tatoes to ho used for winter uses is a
perplexing problem for the farmer.
Keeping the first crop over for winter
use is almost impossible and it is a
choice of buying the winter supply or
growing the second crop.
The greatest difficulty in planting
the first crop seed is in getting a
stand The r.ew potatoes will not ger
minnte readily, and if planted only a
small percentage * ill grow
Some growers o\ ercome this difli
culty hy placing the seed potatoes, as
soon as they are dug. in a moist, fairly
cool place such as in a shallow trench
in the shado of a tree Or hy rutting
in halves, spreading on the groin d
and covering with pine needles kept
moist They are then watched, and as
they show signs of sprouting are
planted in deep furrows, covering
lightly at first, working the soil to
them ns tln;v grow until level Then
ciiliivat* shallow and level. Some va
rieties make a better second crop than
others, among which are Rarly Rose,
Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler and
peerless, Plant in soil where the mois
ture has been retained.
H. R. Truax. Asst. Horticulturist,
The Rotting of Peaches.
There is much trouble from Brown
rot of peaches this season, and it is
possible by prompt action to save a
part of this damage by spraying the
crop with self.boiled time sulphur or
with sulphur paste. The self-boiled
lime sulphur is perfectly safe if made
strictly according to the directions
given in Bulletin 114 of the Arkansas
Experiment Station. If cooked too
long it may injure the foliage of the
tree and thereby endanger the crop.
The sulphur paste can be bought in
this s-‘ate under the name of atomic
sulphur. There is an agency at Rog
ers, Ark.

Kills Raspberry Canes.
The disease know n as raspberry an
thracnose causes small dead spots on
the canes and kills fruiting clusters
Sometimes so many of tho dead spots
occur that the entire cane is killed
This disease is spread by unclean nur
sery slock or may come from wild
plants into a plantation. The com
monest source of it, however, is nitr
sery stock. Under favorable weather
conditions and on some soils especial
ly, it may destroy a year's fruit crop,
and destroy the prospect, for next
year's crop at the same time.
It may be only imperfectly control!
ed by spraying. It is safest to plain
jonly etean stork and to destroy an old
diseased patch rather than fight the
! disease.

There is another process of flxa

HOW TO MAKE GOOD SILAGE
Various Methods That May Be U3?d
With Success in Arkansas.
Corn should ho harvested for silage
when in iho denting or glazing stage.
Sorghums should he allowed to
grow until the seed is perfectly ma
ture.
Harvest with a corn hinder as bun
dles are the most convenient to
handle.
Have plenty of power and labor so
that the filling can he done rapidly, as
it is more economical to run at full
capacity.
Mince the Forage.
Chop the forage in lengths not *o
exceed one-half to three-quarters
inches in length. They pack more
closely and therefore exclude air more
effectively.
Distribute the light and heavy par
ticles uniformly over the. surface of
tlie silo to insure even settling
Keep the surface in the silo saucer
I shaped with the high side next to tint
! walls.
Tramp the entire surface thorough
ly. hut more specially around the
wails.
Use Plenty of Water.
If the crop lias been frosted or rather
mature add plenty of water. Do not
he afraid of adding too much but avoid
adding too little.
Running water into the blower of
tiie cutter is the* best way to add wa
ter as it is then evenly distributed.
Snap the* ears out of the last two or
throe loads of corn to save the grain
When refilling on old silage, remove
all spoiled silage before putting in
new.
Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp
ing and soaking the top of the silage
for several days after tiling and allow
ing the silo to seal Itself.
if your silo was air and water tight
at the beginning you will have good
silage.
