BREEDING SEASONS.
Arkansas farmers who are in
tending to get into the business of
growing good livestock should
grasp one of the first lessons- that
of having regular breeding seasons
for hogs, cattle and horses. Good
hog breeders in Arkansas want pigs
to be f arrowed somewhere be
tween February 20 and March 20
and when two litters per year are
desired, from September 20 to
October 20. Farmers should
breed dairy cows to freshen about
the middle of September, after the
bad fly time and with early rye for
pasture and other fresh pastures
after the fall rains and when but
ter and cream command good
prices. Beet cows should freshen
frttm the middle of February to the
middle of March when spring pas
tures are coming on for both cows
and calves and early enough to
give the calves a good start for
gjod growth by November for the
calf market and they will be old
enough then for the dry feed of the
winter. These are simple lessons
and yet very necessary if farmers
are to succeed in meeting the
mrarket demands. Why not start
now and breed gilts and sows about
the first of November. Farmers
are urged to consult their county
agents about this or write the fix
tension Division and U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Fayetteville
or Little Rock, for bulletins on live
stock.
FIGHT THE BOIL WEEVIL.
Unless the farmers of Southern
Arkansas respond to the sugges
tions made by the Extension Divis
ion and by the bankers and others
to plow cotton fields this fall, seed
rye on sloping fields and burn trash
along ditches, roads, fences and
about buildings, they will have the
fun of planting cotton next spring
to feed the bo'l weevils. Of course
if we have a severe winter proba
bly 80 per cent of the weevils will
be destroyed, but it is not safe tc
take the risk. Then, even if that
percentage should be destroyed
there would be enough left in many
fields to destroy the entire #crop
Cotton is being picked early this
year and many fields should be
plowed before the first of Novem
ber, if possible, and everybody
should about that time get busy
with rake and fork and torch anc
old Arkansas should have the finesl
"Clean Up Campaign" in her whole
history. Arkansas farmers are go
ing to grow their feed crops anc
food stuffs next year, are going tc
"live at home" and yet they are
going to grow cotton in the cottor
counties, better cotton and more
pounds per acre than heretofore
provided the boll weevil does nol
destroy it after it is planted. The
Extension Service of the College
of Agriculture and U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is anxious tc
sive Arkansas farmers the miserv
of losing their cotton next summei
but this danger can be met be
tween now and Decemoer and il
cannot be met next summer.
START SCHOOLS EARLY.
The best crop in Arkansas is our
crop of boys and girls. We won
der if the fathers and mothers are
always careful to give these boys
and girls a real square deal in the
matter of schools. In too many
cases the schools seem to be in
session only when the boys and
girls can do nothing else. The
best inheritance the farmers of
Arkansas can leave their children
is a good education. Now that the
cotton is being ticked out early the
rural schools should be started
early and then the tax term should
be lengthened by a "fee" term.
i Every country child should have
six months of schooling each year
at the very least. The Extension
Division and U. S. Department of
Agriculture a^e desirous of nelping
in the cause of the rural schools
and will send free to the teachers
bulletins on agriculture, foods and
health and supplementary lessons
in agriculture and cooking. Write
Director Extension Division, Fay
etteville.
waste places.
On too many farms in Arkansas
there are ugly waste places that
could grow a great volume of food
for family or feed for livestock.
These places are now overgrown
with weeds and detract from the
selling value of the farm. Why
not plow these plases now and sow
to rye, wheat, or oats for pasture
for chickens, pigs, cows or horses.
Why not study to utilize these
waste places by moving fences and
throwing them into fields or fenc
| ing them for patches of cowpeas,
soybeans, rape, etc., for the pigs.
The average farm of forty acres
in Arkansas could grow enough
feed on the waste places for a cow
| and a dozen pigs.
GOOD AND BAD INVESTMENTS.
Thousands of Arkansas farmers
will be out of debt this fall with
money ahead for the first time in
their lives. Then what? Unfor
tunately many families will be in
i such need of better housing and
' better clothes that much of the
| surplus cotton money will have to
go for these purposes. It is hoped
; that every cotton farmer has al
ready opened a bank account witfc
the proceeds of his first sale, paic
debts by checks and th§t he will
keep his surplus in the bank. But
! then what with the surplus? What
^are good investments? The good
investments may include pure bred
! sows, better cows, calves, when
there is enough feed, one or more
mares, if needed next spring, bet
ter tools and farm machinery, if
needed next spring, rye for the
winter pasture, and last but not
least, land for the renter and more
! land for the small farmer. There
i are thousands of farmers on forty
acres who have the ability to han
; die one hundred and sixty acres,
Land is cheap in Arkansas and the
men who haye no land and the men
who have small farms should con
sider this matter of larger farms
Arkansas has too many small farms
and too many large plantations
Thoughtful bankers and other bus
iness men can afford to look about
and help many progressive farmers
into larger land ownership.
There Is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be Incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly Influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's

Act No. 2 Will be Defeated.
The Anti-Saloon League of Ar
kansas has decided not to attempt
to nullify Act No. 2 in the courts,
but to go before the people to de
feat it. An investigation of the pe
tltion revealed enough nam^s that
appeared to be irregular to reduce
the aggregate to lets than the
number required t initiate, but it
was found that the expanse would
be very great. The counted of the
more aggressive then prevailed,
anil it was decided to bend every
energy of organisation to the decis
ive defeat of the act. It is believed
that an overwhelming victory for
prohibition at the polls in Novem
ber will be the end of all efforts to
restore the saloons in Arkansas.

; Remarkable Cave That Was Discov
ered by Merest Accident in a
Mine in Arizona.
A blast In (he Sliiittuck mine in
Arizona, sot for tin* purpose of bring
ing ilown ore, was responsible for rite
discovery of a remarkable eavern, now
known as Shall nek eave, which lias
yielded nnusnat mineral specimens,
some <if tlie (inest of whieli liave re
eenlly been added to the collection at
lho Michigan College of .Mines. When
ilie miner who bad been working in
that purl of the .'it*0 foot level returned
with the night shift lie found a great
opening that readier farther than his
light could penetrate. hooking up
ward. he could see tiny lights (lashing,
and. in the belief that they were stais.
he ran hack to the shall and declared
that lie had blasted a hole clear
through to the surface. On investi
gating. the mine ollicial found that the
blast had opened a great circular ca\
era M-I.'i feet in diameter dud 17o feel
high, which seemed like a piece of
fairyland. < *n the roof myriads of crys
tals rdlected the lights of the miners’
hi tups. The walls, the roof, and t lit*
Moor were covered with great clusters
of crystals, and near the center of the
eavern a mass of stalactites, (tt feet
long, hung from the coiling like n
great chandelier. For the most part
the crystals were pure white, lint, in
places where the tillering waters had
contained iron and copper, great trans
parent stalactites and stalagmites,
some ruby-red, others a dear emerald
green or azure blue, added to the beau
ty of the scene.
Water In Farm Homes.
Running water In the kitchen is a
hope that many farm women will see
realized this year. Tills is one of the
ways by which the “silent partners”
are removing drudgery from farm life.
! Kfflcienoy Is the keynote of the day.
and the women have found that ‘'pack
ing'' water by hand is inefficient, when
for a small cost, the water can lie
piped to faucets In their kitchens. A
simple system cmisisrfcig of a pump
attached to the kitcVcn sink, with
pipes and connections, can l.e Installed
for $18. The next system, costing
about $'!,). consists of a force pump,
kitchen sink with w aste pipe, and in
tank to which the water is pumped
and is ready for use at all times. An
other system supplying both hot ami
cold water can he put in'for about $ It).
Other more elaborate systems with
halhroom outfits have been designed
for those Who want greater comforts.

Supreme Test of an Automobile l ire. For
the same reason the Supreme Test of “Saw

There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a rule people know
furniture when they use it. The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of inside
R worth. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the “Saw Test. Because
everyone who has used it wid ted you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don't buy "Saw Test" Furniture on faith.
No sireel You buy it with the positive cer
