WATCH THE ROADS.
Spring rains are hard on the
country roads. Two-thirds of the
washouts and bad places' could be
prevented by a little work at the
right time. Du not wait on the
county officers to find the washed
place in the road that passes your
• place. A few minutes work now
will probab'y save a great deal of
time and trouble later on. If ev
erybody will take a little interest in
the road adjoining his farm it will
help a great deal in keeping it up
It will be well to look afler the
ditches and creek on your place
and clean out the trash and limbs
and make an easy passage for the
flood waters to get away. A little
work done in cleaning ditches and
creeks may save a good many
spoiled acres. Water will not cut
new channels if the old one are big
enough and kept ready for service.
Write the Extension Division, old
state house. Little Rock, for bulle
tins on road building.
farmers' clubs.
Why not have a farmers' club in
your neighborhood? A specialist
has been appointed by the Exten
tion Division to help farmers of Ar-,
kansas organize community clubs,
and for the most part they will hold
their meetings in rural school j
houses. Through these clubs you :
can get together for cooperative
buying and selling of livestock,
shipping in of fertilizers, the forma
tion of farm loan associations and
!
wthe marketing of perishable farm
• products. Cooperation will do!
away with many of the difficulties'
confronting the farmers today. If I
you need assistance or advice,wrr e i
to W. C. Lassetter. acting director
of the Extension Division, old state
house. Little Rock.
PLAN FOR FALL CALVES.
I
Now is the time to plan for fall
calves. Calves dropped in the fall j
will not have the flies to contend
with and by the time they are
ready to eat very much there will
be plenty of green feed for them in
the spring. In addition, the fresh
cow will give greater returns dur
ing the winter months. At this
time labor is the cheapest and the
price of milk is the highest and you
will get the greatest returns for the
feed you u e Then, too, dairy
cows fresh during the winter
months will be getting dry about
the time other work opens up and
there will not be as much
milking to do. says J? H. McLeod,
livestock specialist with the Ex
tension Division.
HAVE WINTER LAYING HENS.
Eggs always bring the best
prices during the winter months.
Hens that lay at this time are the
most desirable. Pick out these
you know have been laying during
the past winter and use them for
eggs to hatch. It is a mistake to
use the entire flock for breeding
purposes. It always pays to select
the good layers. Use only a young
vigorous rooster in the pens.
Never use under-sized, coarse or
over-fat birds of any kinds. Re*
member, the pullets and yearling
hens are best for fall and winter
laying. Most hens over a year old
are not profitable layers. Plan on
having the birds which you wish to
keep for laying purposes hatch as
early as possible so that they will
start to lay before cold weather.
This is another important factor if
you wish to have eggs when they
bring the best price.
I MAKE A GARDEN.
With all vegetables and food
• products of every kind bringing an
garden for this year? Let the
girls join a canning club and get
specific instructions from one of
the specialists with the Extension
Disivion. who will tell her what to
plant, when to plant and help her
sell what she raises. This work
will be as profitable and probably
more pleasant than working in thr
cotton fields. Do not forget the
Garden Calendar prepared by J. S
Knox, horticulturist, which gives
the name of vegetables which can
be used in Arkansas and tells you
when to sow. how deep to sow
whether in hills or drills, the width
of the rows, the distance of plants
in the rows, the amount of seed to
plant and how long it will take the
vegetables to reach maturity. This
calendar will be sent to anyone in
Arkansas by addressing the Exten
sion Division, old state house. Lit

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science lias
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that It fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. ,

l»a»t the house of that dusk., lady, w ho
at the time was a couple of weeks in

voice was wafted In from the porch:

Getting Results.
Are you getting results for the hard work and close
attention you are giving to your business? Have you any
thing to show for your last year's work except a mere living?
Too often we give all our time and thought to work
we are undertaking and do not stop to figure out the results.
If have made a good salary year after year, you should
have sometning laid up to show for it. If you have a farm
and have made good crops for manv years, you should have
a bank account to show tor vour net profits. If you have
R| been in habit of spending all you make, whether it be much
or little, resolve now to figure on the results of your work
and have something to show for it.
Deposit everything you can possibly save above your
living expenses, and at the end of the year you will have
results to show for your year's labor. We'll help you save.
