W BETTER FARMING HINTS. ^
KEEP ENOUGH HORSES.
Thousands of horses and mules
have been shipped from the United
States to Europe during the war
and they are still being shipped in
large numbers. Already the ef
fect of the exportation of a large
per cent of our draft stock has
caused the price to go up consider
ably. This means that as soon as
the horses and mules in use on the
farms in this country are worn out
and have to be replaced by others
our people will find a great short
age of this class of livestock:conse
quently, the prices will be high or
higher than they are now with lit
tle possibility of there being any
change in the marketing condition
for a long time to conqe. The only
way the Arkansas farmer can play
safe is to keep enough horses to
replace his worn out draft stock
and farmers who have animals that
have not been mated should take
advantage of April and May as a
breeding season. J. H. McLeod,
livestock specialist with the Exten
sion Division, Fayetteville, will be
glad to help any farmer solve his
livestock problems and answer all
inquiries which may be sent to him j
concerning not only the buying and
selling of animals but their care
and management.
USE CHEAP SOURCE OF FERTILIZER.
If you have felt the high price of
certain fertilizer elements this year
and are looking for a cheap source
of nitrogen, make your plans for
next year now by planting peas,
beans and peanuts this year. Re
member that these legumes take
nitrogen from the air and that it
costs you nothing. These crops
will also furnish an abundance of
good feed for the livestock and the
roots and stems which are left in
the field can be turued under to
supply a quantity of organic mat
ter which practically all of the so: s
in Arkansas need.
PLANT THAT GARDEN — THE WAR IS ON.
If you have not planted the gar
den which you have been planning
all spring, it will be well for you to
buy your seed and get busy right
now. Do not forget the war is up
on us and no one knows now much
higher foodstuffs will go. Be sure
to place the warden near the house
where it can be cared for during
spare time. If the family is large
it may pay to make the garden(
large enough to use horse power
for cultivation. You cannot afford
to waste your time in the garden.
It’s a business propositoin to get as
much out of it as possible for time
you put in. Be sure your fence is
in good shape so that your neigh
bor’s dogs and chickens will not
ruin your crop. If you need any
suggestions concerning whereto
buy seed, how to buy and if you
want to know what to plant and
when to plant it. write to J. H
Knox, horticulturist with the Ex
tension Division, old state house,
LiUle Rock. He will be glad to
answer your questions. In the
meantime send a post card asking
for one of the garden calendars.
This calendar will give you the
names of the vegetables which you
can plant during April and the suc
ceeding months. It tells you
whether to plant the seed in hills
or drills, the width of the rows for
each vegetable, the distance of
plants in the rows and how soon
after planting you may expect any
particular vegetable to be ready to
eat. Suggestions for the. amount
of seed to plant are also given and
should be valuable, while the num
ber of vegetables listed will proba
bly suggest many things for the
garden that will be good to eat
which you have not thought about.
Silver Service for Battleship.
For four years the patriotic j
women of Arkansas have been try
ing to raise the necesary money to
purchase a silver service for the
battleship Arkansas, the largest
fighting machine of our navy now
in service, but have met with fail
ure up to the present.
Only about $2,000 more is need
ed and they hope to raise this
amount during April.
Friday, April 27, has been des- j
ignated as Silver Service Day in all
schools and the teachers are re
quested to hold patriotic services
on that day and each child will be
asked to make a small donation to |
the fund as a lesson in patriotism.
It is a disgrace to the state when
it is known that this magnificient
ship named for Arkansas is the on
ly ship bearing a state name in the
navy that has not been presented 1
with a silver service and we hope |
that enough money will be donated
by the school children and by the
various womans' clubs to complete
the gift.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in

the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely

Inflammation can be reduced and this tube |
restored to Its normal condition, hearing

Each one on the program did
well and the vocal numbers showed
that Miss Durrett not only is a
good piano teacher but that she
has unusual ability as a teacher of
vocal music, such as is taught in i
all the better schools at present
and which we would like to see
added to the course in this school
next term.
Little Miss Eva Dupois was the
hit of the evening with her song. ^

Recipes for Killing flies.
The United States government
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies:
Formaldehyde and sodium salicyl
ate are the two best fly poisons.
Both are superior to arsenic. They
have their advantages for house
hold use. They are not a poison to
children: they are convenient to
handle, their dilutions are simple
and they attract the flies.
PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS.
A formaldehyde solution of ap
proximately the correct strength
may be made by addingS teaspoon
fuls of the concentrated formal
dehyde solution. commercially
known as formalin, to a pint of
water. Similarly, the proper con
centration of sodium salicylate may
be obtained by dissolving 3 tea
spoonfuls of the pure chemical (a
powder) to a pint of water.
CONTAINERS FOR SOLUTIONS.
A container made of an ordinary,
thin-walled drinking glass is filled
or partially filled with the solution.
A saucer, or small plate, in which
is placed a piece of white blotting
paper.cut size of dish, is put bottom
up over the glass. The whole is
then quickly inverted, a match
placed under the edge of the glass,
and the container is ready for use.
As the solution dries out of the
saucer the liquid sea! at the edge
of the glass is broken and more
liquid flows into lower receptacle.
Thus the paper is always kept
moist.
OTHER SIMPLE P REVENT A TiVES.
Any odor pleasing to man is. of
fensive to flies and vice versa, and
will drive them away.
Take 5 cents worth of oil of lav
ender, mix it with the same quanti
ty of water, put in a common glass
atomizer and spray it around the
rooms where the flies are. In the
dinning room spray it lavishly even
on the table linen. The odor
is very disagreeable to flies but re
freshing to most people.
Geranium, mignotte. heliotrope
and white clover are ofiensive to
flies. They especially dislike the
ordor of honeysuckle and hop blos
soms.
According to French scientists!
flies have intense hatred for the i
color blue. Rooms decorated in I
blue will helD to keep out the flies
Mix together one tablespoo. full
of cream, one of ground black pep- ;
per and one of biown sugar. This
mixture is poisonous to flies. Put
in a saucer, darken the roon1! ex
cept one window and in that set
the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn .
porethrum powder. This stupefies j
the flies, but they must be swept
up and burned.
RECIPES FOR STAPLES. BARNS. ETC.
Borax is especially valuable!
around farms and out of doors
One pound of borax to twelve bush
els of manure will be found desira- ,
ble as a poison without injuring its ;
manurial qualities or farm stock.
Scatter the borax over the manure
and sprinkle with water.
Lye. chloride of Pme, or cop
peras (sulphate of iron) dissolved!
in water, crude carbolic acid, or
any kind of disinfectant may be
used in vaults.
