Prof. Taft's advice not to marry
a scrub indicates that he is a subtle
foe to matrimony.
There is lots of difference be
tween ambition and purpose; any
body can wish for the moon.
It is bad enough to fool your
fellowman, but there is little hope
left for the man who deceives him
self. _
Its alright to be philosphical and
‘‘take things as they come” unless
you can improve them with a little
effort. _
One may be convinced, even if
one is a Republican, that President
Wilson has at least made congress
earn its wages.
Some men hitch their wagons to
a star and then try to convince the
star that it would never have suc
ceeded had they not trailed along.
At the same time the country
may felicitate itself upon the fact
that, in this particular crisis, the
administration of affairs is not ir
the hands of the excellent but im
petuous colonel.
It has been casually mentioned
of late by many newspaper mer
that while the penitentiaries arc
full of men of nearly every trade
and profession there are very few
editors confined behind walls of
stone or bars of steel. It is proba
bly because the business of getting
out a newspaper is its own punish
ment.
This war has demonstrated the
worth of many inventions that have
had but poor or only a partial en
dorsement by the public. The fire
less cooker, for instance, has been
looked at askance by many people
who have been tied so hard ano
fast to the methods of our ances
tors. but the men who are fighting
the battle over in Europe have
found it to be a blessing, and not ir
disguise. Food is placed in gigan
ic cookers and the cooks then
shoulder their guns and crawl intc
the trenches with their brothers
At the proper time the cookers are
opened and food, piping, steaming
hot, is ready for serving to the
soldiers under fire.
Eleven employes of the National
City Bank of New York left that
city on the 6th for De Janeiro to
establish the second South Ameri
can branch of the National City
Bank. Permission for such estab
lishment was given by the Federal
Reserve Bank. The two major
reasons why the great and growing
trade of South America has here
tofore been handled by European
countries has been due to the sat
isfactory financial arrangements
between the two continents, and
the merchant marine of the old na
tions. Now we are getting lined
up on the financial arrangements
we need only the shipping facilities
to be a strong bidder for South
American commerce.
CHANGE IN SENATE RULES DEMANDED.
The United States Senate in
some respects is a collosal nuis
ance. Under the present rules oi
the Senate, any senator can talk as
often as he wants and as long as
he wants on any subject and talk it
to death. This rule of unlimited
debate, has no place in these rap
idly moving times. The country
demands a change in these rules.
A majority of the Senate favor the
Ship Bill, but tne “minority” who
are the tools of the wealthy corpo
rations are filibustering against the
bill, thus preventing it coming to a
vote. The country demands •a
change in those rules so that the
Senate can limit debate, and thus
become a business body, instead of
an old fogy club. It should follow
the lead of the Arkansas State
Senate when it wanted to pass the
Racing Bill and limit debates to ten
minutes.
The world is full of people who
are going to accomplish great
things, but waste all their enegy in
never getting started.
CROPS FOR CATTLE
ARKANSAS CLIMATE PECULIARLY
FAVORABLE TO CULTIVATION
OF THIS GREAT FORAGE —
THREE AND FOUR CUTTINGS <
Sudan grass is an annual crop of
vigorous and even rank growth, be
longing to the family of sorghums. It
osembles Johnson grass closely, but
has no root stocks and Is not a pent,
it can be cut three and sometimes four
times in one season.
Climate and Soil.
The climate of the South, of the
corn belt, and of the semi-arid regions
>f Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska is well adapted to ita growth.
A warm summer climate is best It
It' V- < •' >• * ' '
A heavy second cutting,
does well where moisture is abund
ant, and also where drouth prevails
though under drouth it makes its best
growth under cultivation—in cultivat
ed rows. It is not particular in re
gard to kind of soil. , Any reasonably
good soil will produce a good yield of
this hay.
Time and Method of Seeding.
Sudan grass may be sowed in April,
May or June, either broadcast or in
rows of 2% to 3 feet apart. Broad
cast seeding requires 16 to 20 pounds
per acre, while row planting requires
only two to four pounds per acre. Pre
pare land as for any other crops and
have ground smooth and as level as
possible. Peas or soy beans may be
mixed with sudan grass to make hay.
Yield and Quality.
The yield of this grass is high.
Nearly five tons per acre have been
obtained where conditions favored,
and it rarely ever falls as low as one
ton per acre of cured hay. Analyses
have not yet been made or, at least,
reported, but it has proved palatable,
and probably has about the same feed
ing value as Johnson grass or a little
better as it Is more leafy. It Is use
ful as a soiling crop for feeding dairy

POISON FOR THE CUT WORM
Expert Gives Formulae Found Effect
ive in Destroying the Pest.
Cut worms are the stout-bodied,
soft brown, black or gray cater
pillars which come out early In the
spring and eat otf the plants Just at
or near the surface of the ground.
They will attack any kind of plants.
Control.
Fall breaking is of great Importance,
cleaning up the fence rows and weedy
fields where they are spending the
winter, is another thing which ought
to be looked to at this very time
These insects are largely to be con
trolled by preventive measures. Where
they come out and attack the crop In
the spring of the year there can be
a poison bait made according to this
formulae:
Wheat bran, 20 pounds.
Paris green, 1 pound.
Syrup, 2 quarts.
Orange or lemons, 3.
Water, 3 gallons and one-half.
Mix the Paris green and bran to
gether quite thoroughly while they are
still dry, dissolve the syrup in the -wa
ter. squeeze the juice of the lemons oi!
organes in this solution, and then!
chop up the rinds and pulp, and add
it to the sweetened Juice. Now mix
the poison bran and the solution to
gether and the material will be ready
to use.
This poison bait Is scattered out
along the fence row or the edge of a
weedy field from which cut worms

The barnyard and the hogyard
should be well drained, and if possi
ble they should be paved with some
good material that will keep the stock
out of the mud. One of the best barn
yards I ever saw was paved with con
crete and carefully drained to a cis
tern, so that all of the liquid manure
was saved.
Green ground bones are rich in al
bumen, phosphate of lime and phos
phoric acid, which go to make eggs
and shells. It will pay any poultry
man to buy a bonemill to grind bones
for his fowls.
By all means put out a strawberr
bed this spring. They are as sure t(
thrive and bear abundantly if properl
set out and cared for as a crop of
potatoes. The Senator Dunlay is the
most popular sort and leaves little to
be desired in a first class strawberry.
BURN INFECTIOUS MATERIAL
Way Diseases That Kill Cattle, Hogs
and Poultry Are Stopped.
During the course of a year it is
usually necessary to dispose of many
dead animals on the average farm.
Especially is this true on a poultry
and stock farm. There is always
more or less loss among poultry and
hogs, and an occasional loss among
cattle and horses, besides trimmings
and ofTals from birds and animals
ttyat are being dressed for table use.
Many times this material is simply
removed some distance from the
buildings and there allowed to decay.
If the material contains anything of
an infectious nature, such as tuber
culosis, hog cholera, chicken cholera
1
Example of good sanitation.
and other germs, it is soon carried
to all barn lots in the neighborhood
by such agents as crows, dogs, etc.
Rains are an agency for the spread
of Infectious diseases. They wash
polluted material into wells, contami
nating water used for household pur
poses. Continued loss of flocks and
herds is often due to carelessness in
disposing of the dead animals. All
such material should be burned at
once, as it not only kills the infec
tion, but prevents a spread of dis
ease.
A furnace for burning the carcasses
of small animals, such as hogs, chick
ens and others, can be constructed
very easily with brick or stone. For
burning larger animals two ditches
should be dug in the shape of a cross,
so the fire will always have sufficient
draught. Much difficulty is often ex
perienced in burning large carcasses
because the fuel is placed around and
over the carcass, when it should be
placed directly under it.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
By GENE SHEAR.
There was a crowd of eighteen or
twenty men In the barroom of the ho*
i
►
/
tel in tne western
terminus of the
stage line, and the
hour was nine
o'clock in the
evening, when
three men entered
with pistols in
their hands and
walked over to
where a middle
aged man sat in a
chair tilted back
against the walL
A hush fell upon
the room at once.
“T’row up your
hands !” com
manded the lead
er <jf the trio, as
he halted before
the man referred
Up went t h o j
man's hands. He
was In no great
hurry about it.
and yet he lost no time.
“S'arch him for weeplns!”
A second man stooped forward and
passed his hand over the man in the
chair, but found nothing.
"What does this mean. Bill?" asked
the landlord, finding his voice at last,
"Waal, this 'ere is Tenderfoot Char
lie,” was the reply, "the feller that
killed Abe Shotwell over at St. Claire
last week.”
"Sure of it?”
“Sartln sure.”
“And what are you goin' to do with
him?”
“Hang him to a limb! The boys will
be yere purty quick.”
The man in the chair lowered his
hands and searched for a match to
light bis pipe. All looked at him, but
he hadn’t a word to say. He smoked
and looked around in a careless way,
and finally Bill remarked:
"Hev yo’ nuthin’ to say, Charlie?"
“Nuthin’, 'cept thar won't be any
hangln’,” was the answer.
"But you bet thar will be! There’s
the boys with the rope! Stranger,
thar's goin’ to be a leetle exhibishun out
on the squar’, and it’s free to all. Cum
along, prisoner, and if ye try any
tricks on me it'll be death by shoot
in’!”
The prisoner was marched out and
everybody followed. About thirty men
had gathered outside, and the crowd
tramped down the street and around
the corner to the public square. When
the noose had been flung over Charlie's
head and drawn tight the man called
Bill sung out:
"Now, then, hev you any remarks to
make before the bar’l is kicked away?”
"I’d Just like to say that thar won’t
be any hangin’," replied the man.
“Don’t Joke in the presence of!
death! ”
Say, now, who you got yere!” called
a voice in the crowd.
Tenderfoot Charlie!" chorused •
dozen men.
"Jest wait a minlt!”
A man advanced, took the lantern
and held it up to the prisoner's face,
and then cried out:
"Waal, you are a nice crowd! That’s
no more Tenderfoot Charlie than I be!
Don’t nobody kick that bar’l!”
“Stranger, who be you?" asked Bill,
as he came forward.
"Joe Strong," was the reply.
Why, the feller who has Just ben
’lected to the leglslchur’?"
"The same."
Then, why in Texas didn't you say
so?”
"Then, why in Texas didn’t ye ask
me? Besides, I’d a leetle rather ba
hanged than go to the legislachur',
and so ye can go ahead with yer
chokin’!”
They didn’t, however. It was Bill’s
treat, and considering the size of tha
crowd and the amount of water in tha
whisky, it was well done.
