rows of weeds. If the orchard Is to
be sown to a winter cover crop, see

and in the comers.
A good way to get rid of rotten ap

of them, Is a plow a furrow, one round
to each middle, turning the furrow
away from the tree. Rake the mum

Sale of Modern Farm Machinery Indi
catea Proaparity in Franklin Co.
It will bo a year before the govern
ment reporta the yield of oata and
wheat and other crops that were rais
ed in Franklin County during the sea
son of 1915. But is it necessary to
wait for these reports to arrive to de
ermine what is being done by the far
mers of that county in tho face of a
recent report sent to the Extension
Division of the Unjtersity of Arkansas
by the agricultural agent for Franklin
CouDty, who says In his letter: "Im
plement dealers of this county report
the sale of more than the usual num
ber of grain binders and cradles for
harvesting the wheat and oats crop
this year. Twenty-six binders and 14
cradles have been sold in this county
to date this season."
Arkansas Farmers Use Serum.
Williams Bros., of Dlax, and S. L.
Bleakley of Auvergne, progressive far
mers, are setting an example to Jack
son County. They have ordered large
shipments of serum from the Serum
Plant at Little Rock. They adminis
tered the simultaneous treatment and
have not lost a hog yet. David Thl
banlt, county agricultural agent of
Jackson County, In a report to Dean J.
H. Miller of the Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas said that
these two large orders from two rep
resentative farmers, has served as a
stimulus to other hog raisers of Jack
son County to use anti-hog cholera se
rum as a preventative against hog
cholera. The serum may be obtained
from the State Serum plant at Little
Rock by writing Dr. R. M. Gow, State
Veterinarian, Old State House, Little
Rock. The serum may be bought for
one and one-half cents per cubic cen
timeter. A few cents Invested in this
way may save you many dollars.
Standard Farm Machinery.
As an rwvmple of the confidence the
Arkansas merchant places in our far
mers’ ability to work crops and in our
soils for growing them, the Gresham
Bros, of Hallday, Greene County, Ark.,
recently purchased a $1,600 high power
hay press for baling for the public,
and their work is said to be satisfac
tory. A few more hay balers in Ar
kansas would result in a larger
acreage of forage crops and hay crops.
The hay baler is a paying Investment
in almost every section of this state,
and will be in greater demand nest
year than ever before. The Exten
sion Division of the ITnlversly of Ar
kansas will be pleased to answer all
inquiries from farmers or business
men regarding standard farm ma
chinery.
Boya and Glrla Scoring Conteat.
Greene County this fall will have
what is known as a scoring contest
among the members of the boys and
girls agricultural clubs. "We will
take two Poland China and two Duroc
Jersey hogs to score,” said Thomas J.
Bentley, special agricultural agent,
"and also use ten ears of black and
fen ears of yellow corn and score
them also. Some small cash prizes
will be given for efficiency. The mem
bership in these clubs is Increasing
rapidly as merchants, bankers, and
farmers are becoming more interested
in the movement.
HER SLIGHT MISTAKE
By CONSTANCE NESSLER.
‘‘Have you ever seen such oppressive
ly hot weather In your life?” the laven
der girl asked the young woman in
white, selecting a wicker chair and
pulling It to a position where she
would feel whatever breeze came
through the window.
"Certainly I have, right here In this
city, and so have you,” replied the
girl In white.
"I suppose you are right,” admitted
her friend, "but you are most disap
pointing.”
"You Interest me strangely.”
"You should have adapted yourself

"Be Careful, Kid.”
to my mood,” explained the young
■woman In lavender, “and assured me
that you never had seen such hot
weather and that you do not believe
there Is such hot weather anywhere
else on the globe. Instead, you try
to convey the Impression that It Is
not hot at all.”
“I am trying to help you, my dear.
If I were to Join you In your view of
the weather Its heat would become
more and more intense until your back
hair frizzled. Instead of doing that I
suggest that It Is no warmer than
usual. Presently, I shall mention
some Ice cream that Is coming and
the first thing you know you will be
comfortable. You are not so warm
right now as you were, are you?"
"I couldn't be any warmer, certain
ly, without melting my watch and my
finger rings. I was seething when I
; arrived. I had done the most dread
I ful thing!
"It was on the T.,’ ” said the young
! person In lavender, launching boldly
| Into her adventure. "I entered the
train at Sheridan road and there were
any number of seats vacant, but I
saw Marc Willard sitting by a window
and looking out. I determined to sur
prise him, so I selected the other
half of his seat, the car Jerked and I
shot down like a ball player sliding to
first, with a shoulder hunched up. 1
collided with the unfortunate man In
a violent fashion that almost sent him
out of the car and sailing over the
back yards like an aeroplane.
“Then I turned my head and pre
tended to be looking from the win
dow on the opposite side of the car.
I felt him turn in the seat, and I felt
his eyes boring Into my back, and I
hadn't felt so tickled over anything
in a long time. I had on this new
dress and I was quite sure he did not
recognize me, so I waited for a dread
ful time before I slowly and innocent
ly turned my face to him.”
“You were taking an awful chance,
Arabella. Suppose it had not been
he? You know mistakes sometimes
happen.”
“One had—then.”
"Oh, you surely do not mean—”
"Yes, I do! It was some young
man I had never seen before! Imag
ine!
“There he sat looking down upon
me with the queerest expression, and
I shriveled and shrunk until I wasn't
bi'^rer than a peanut. I could feel
myself being Immersed slowly in a
gulf of boiling oil, which began at my
toes and rose slowly, slowly until it
covered the top of my head! And
there I sat frozen to my seat with his
eyes fixed upon mine.”
“That was dreadful!"
“Indeed it was. If he had looked
away for a moment I could have apol
ogized or have slid into another seat,
but his eyes seemed to hold me! And
then I saw he was going to speak to
me, and I was glad, because I thought
I saw a glint of humor in his eyes.
I imagined his first word would tell
me that he understood. But what do
you suppose he said?”
“What ?”
“He held his paper up before his
face and whispered: ‘Re careful, kid,
that lady on the front seat is my
wife!’ I got over into another seat
then, you’d better believe!”
“Arabella, your adventure was a
classic. I reatl it in a funny column
the other day.”
“I never had read it; but I believe
he lied. Anyway the woman got out
at the next station, and he was still
in his seat when I left the car. I have
now only one object in life, and
that—M
“Is to help me eat the cream, which
! the boy is bringing.”
“No, but to meet Mr. Smart and
make it as peppery for him as he
made it for me.”—Chicago Daily

Unhandy Coins.
Among the strangest coins in the
world are those used in certain out
of-the-way towns and villages in
southwest Algeria, on the west coast
of Africa, and called the “manilas.”
In shape they resemble a horse
shoe with the two extremities flat
tened out like a camel's foot. Be
ing made of solid copper, three
eighths of an inch thick, they weigh
over eight ounces each. In “face
value" seven of these queer coins aru
equivalent to one quarter, so that a
dollar’s worth would be an uncom
fortably heavy load!
