CLOVERS AND COVER CROPS.
It has been said that there is a
clover for every type of soil in Ar
kansas, and all land owners should
know more about these legumes,
not only because of their great
feeding value but because of their
soil building and nitrogen fixing
proprieties Every one is urged to
sow, at least, some crimson clover,
red clover, bur clover, alsike clo
ver, or bermuda or orchard grass
before the first of October. With
the present price of feed, a smal1
patch should be planted to these
crops in order to be able to raise
your own seed for a larger field.
Write for the grass and clover
planting program and the circular
called "Clovers for Arkansas
Farms.’’ Address the Extension
Division of the University of Ar
kansas at Fayetteville.
In addition to planting clovers,
more wheat, rye and oats should be
sown on many more acres of the
cotton or corn land for winter cov
er and pasture crops. Plan now
not only to make your land work
all the time, but to save the soil
fertility by covering the bare fields
during the winter, thus protecting
them from washing.
SAVE YOUR OWN SEED.
More people should save their
own seed oats and stdJ wheat. It
is well to remember that if you
have a good variety of grain on
your farm, it is undoubtedly better
adapted to your local conditions
than anything which you can ship
In from a distance. In supplying
your own seed, you are not taking
the risk of importing on your farm
a number of noxious weeds which
are likely to be found*in seed
brough in. In every case, howev
er, small grain seed should be
cleaned before planting. The
simplest way to clean seed oats
and seed wheat is to use the fan
ning mill, which separates not only
the weed seed but the light and im
perfect grains.
WHY NOT MORE GOATS?
Thousands of acres of hill land
in Arkansas are yielding pratically
nothing, ‘although they could be
turned, with comparative ease, into
some of the greatest pastures in
the South. If you wish to develop
your pasture land, you might find
goat raising, at least, a profitable
sideline. Goats will eat the
"scraps” or waste plant food found
as crop remnants on any farm as
well as weeds and folage of brush.
Goats are higher than ever before
and it seems that there will be lit
tle chande of their depreciating in
value. People are fast coming to
recognize their worth on the aver
age Arkansas up land farm. There
is money in this class of livestock.
Why not get in on the ground floor?
TRADE AT HOME.
“Keep the Arkansas Dollar in
Arkansas,” is a pretty good motto,
and the practice should be followed
more closely by our people. Too
much money leaves Arkansas each
year that should be spent with the
local merchants. They will get
what you want if they haven't it.

I love to think of modern war
That’s fought with liquid fire
Of conflagation’s rapid spread
And ruination dire.
I am mankind’s most hateful foe
It’s very strange to see

And not molesting me.

OLD BIT OF LAND
Summits of Siskiyou Mountains
Above Water Ages Ago.
Border Guardians Between California
and Oregon Were Growing Forests
When Most of Europe
Was Sea.
According to geologists the summits
of the Siskiyou mountains, the border
gunrdians between California and Ore- j
gon, constitute one of the oldest bits of
land in the world. They were, assert
the scientists, growing a forest when
the greater part of Europe was still
beneath the water. They were the
hillocks of a low flat island a hundred
miles in length when the Pacific ocean
reached eastward to the Rocky moun
tains. Glgnntic saurlnns basked in the
shade of the island’s trees, and the
leviathan of the Scriptures swam nbout
its shores. Finally the Pacific slope
emerged from the oceun and Ihe island
became the backbone of a mountain
range. Siskiyou tunnel, at nn eleva
tion of 4,000 feet, extends through a
solid bank of ocean shells, and for its
length of 3,100 feet follows the shore
line of the ancient island, os Indicated
by the sandstone which once formed
its beach.
“Two miles east of Siskiyou tunnel,’’
sn.vs n writer In "The Sacred Summits
of the Siskiyou,” “Pilot rock rises
from tlie very vertebrae of tlie harrier
to lift its sheer walls 600 feet in the
air. Pilot rock is a chimney that
burned out in a hotter fire than was
ever known by man. It was one of the
flues through which the molten lava
spouted to form the range. So terrific
was the outburst that It left the
strange, fantastically shaped chimney
standing there against the sky. It was
to come into use, in the due procession
of events, ns one of the grent signal
towers of the western wilderness, to
ward which, on a hazeless day, the red
hunters and warriors for a hundred
miles around would turn a watchful
eye. Besides the rock was the meet-''
tug pmeg-tir ewers, Ttify enttett it m»"
kl-you, meaning the council ground.
The result of their deliberations was
made known from this chimney top.
“The Indians used a finger of black
smoke by day and a tongue of red
flame by night. When the chief of
the Shastas died, the word was flashed
from the mountain that bore the tribnl
name, was repeated from Pilot rock,
and presently the Indians of the Mc
Loughlln peak region, far to the north,
were making mourning signs.
“When gold was discovered around
Freka, in northern California, the set
tlers of the Maaamas country in Ore
gon wished to Join the rush, but knew
no southward trail. It was then that a
chieftain, whose daughter had been
lirought hack to health, led his white
benefactors to a peak and pointed
across 80 miles of shimmering valley
and hill to Pilot rock. ’By the right
side lends nn easy trail,’ the wrinkled
leader snid. Ills friends were instant
ly on their wny nnd they had picked up
fortunes at Yreka before their neigh
bors of the Maznmas could break their
way through a tangled waste in which
they could find no single sign of a
road.
“In the days of wnrfnre with the
native tribes the whites caine to know
and dread the almost incredible powers
of Pilot rock. As often ns a punitive
expedition approached the barrier
range, the whites were spied by sharp
eyes, the warning was kindled upon
the rock, nnd the faithful sentries had
vanished before the enraged soldiery
could struggle up to the red tower and
quench the slgDnl flames. Throughout
the Modoc wars runners brought fre
quent word to the renegade Captain
Jack from this clearing house of the
news. No wonder the Indians lighted
all the peaks around with altar fires
and called them by a name which
meant the Sacred Summits of the Sis
klyeus!
“Gallant General Canby know nnd
hnted Pilot rock. General Fremont Is
said to have included it in his explora
tions and in his plans. Often Joaquin
Miller sought the place for Inspiration
and lingered until there burst from
his lips some new song of the twin em
pires that unrolled below his eyes. A
host of pilgrims of the adventure trail
have halted there to rest, and to avail
themselves of the far-reaching out
look from this vantage point."
Animals In Fire.
Most animals are afraid of Are, and
will fly from It in terror. To others
there Is a fascination about a flame,
and they will walk Into 4t, even though
tortured by the heat,
A horse in a burning stable goes
mad with fear, but a dog is as cool In a
fire as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air Is pur
est, and sets himself calmly to finding
his way out. Cats In fire cry piteously.
They hide their faces from the light
and crouch in corners. When their
rescue- lifts them they are os a rule
quite docile and subdued, never biting
or scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire,
and keep perfectly still; even tbe lo
quacious parrot in a tire has nothing
to say. Cows, like dogs, do not show
alarm. They are easy to lend forth,
and often find their way out them
selves.
Demanding Proof.
“I see by your hand that you are go
ing to be rich some day,” said the
palmist.
“ITntph!” replied the skeptical client.
“If you enn show me a $10 hill in my
hand I’ll believe you.”
NOTHING IS WASTED THERE
Hayti One Country Where Almost Ev
erything Is Utilized, Especially if
It Is Made of Wood or Tin.
Hayti is one country where almost
everything is utilized, particularly if
the substance be wood or tin. Lum
ber is $00 jier 1,000, and any substi
tute for it Is eagerly-welcomed.
For Instance, a partition fence be
longing to some well-to-do people on a
prominent street is made of the tops,
bottoms and sides of packing boxes
that contained cans of condensed
milk ; two doors further on is a fence
made of old barrel staves and packing
box strips for fencing is by no means
uncommon.
Tin cans, with the solder melted off
and the tops and bottoms removed, are
flattened out and used ns shingles. In
mending fences, patching holes and
for numerous other purposes.
The five-gallon oil cans, however, are
prized and cherished family posses
ions. These cans hove a regular mar
ket value of 15 to 20 cents gold. It is
no unusunl occurrence for a woman to
buy a five-gallon can of kerosene, hoist
It to her head and tramp all day ped
dling the oil In small quantities—nt
cost, if she can do no better—just for
the sake of obtaining the tin.
These receptacles are used for carry
ing water, boiling clothes and storing
und cooking food.
The tins in which five pounds of lard
come have a value of 10 cents gold,,

cally as a “niamite.” They are used as
a dry measure generally for corn,
beans, salt and the like.
Even the square tins in which
matches are shipped are sold at 5 to
10 cents each.—Kansas City Journal.
LEARNED TO COOK, ALRIGHT
Then Inkella Opened a School of Her
Own and Mistress Advertised for
Another Servant.
After Mrs. Hostetter's advertise
ment, “Wanted—Good, Intelligent vege
tarian girl who can cook," had been in
the dally papers for four days, a tall
girl of medium stature, with pink eyes,
a red nose, and a yellow jaundice, pre
sented herself.
“Ay bane good intelligence vegc
tartuin girl, but ay can’t cook,” she an
nounced.
“Never mind,” said Mrs. Ilnsietfer
desperately, “I’ll teach you to cook.”
And for ninety days and ninety
nights Mrs. llostetter slaved away
showing Inkella the ins and outs and
sideways of Russian rollovers, Bel
gian biscuits, Peruvian pancakes,
Honolulu hash, California crullers,
French flinders, Swedish swntnots, and
a thousand other culinary mysteries
that represented a lifetime’s devotion
to the kitchen range.
At the end of three months Inkella
could tnuke Norway noodles. Japanese
jnmpbms and Swiss zwieback better
than Mrs. llostetter herself.
At the end of three months and four
days she opened a cooking school of
her own, and Mrs. llostetter put an
other ad in the papers.—Detroit Free
Press.
Prowler Made a Mistake.
If there Is anything that will make
folks forget sleep it Is a burglar scare.
Some third-rate prowler, with trick
feet, made n technical mistake In the
course of Ills work in a Broadway
apartment house, and as a result of
his indignation, approximately 200
sleepy eyes were compelled to do
night work. The burglar, as he would
no doubt like to be called by Ids inti
mate friends, had gained entrance to
the house and was getting along rnth
er fairly when he encountered n baby
carriage in the dark. The crash was
tremendous and was followed by fur
ther creaking and grinding as the sim
ple criminal disentangled himself. He
probably got Into the carriage in his
eneitement, for to the breathless listen
ers it seemed that he required qp hour
to free himself of it. Finally, giving
off no end of steaming language, the
Incompetent bandit fled down a front
fire escape and got away. He had
taken nothing. Everybody In the house
remulned up for the rest of the night,
believing that the burglar would be
mad enough to come back and take a
Inst kick at the carriage.—New York
Times. _ jr *: • !

PROCRASTINATION
!s not only the thief of time tut is the thief of good oppor
tunities as well.
The man who puts off starting to save will never
have the foundation for success. The man who spends all
he earns may have a "good time" as he goes along, but he
cannot take advantage of the good business chances that
come to him and old age will find him a miserable failure.
The man who makes good is the man who does not
put off until some future time to save, but now while he is
earning saves some part of everything he earns. He does
not spend his money thoughtlessly to have a good time, but
finds enjoyment and encouragement in knowing that he has
something laid up with which to take advantage of future
business chances and for old age which is sure to come.
Do not wait until next week or next month to start
to save, but start now by opening an account at
