Good Advice to Farmers.
Continued and shallow cultivation
say two or three inches, is best
now for the crops. If there is much
grass use a buzzard wing adjusted
so that you will not plow deep. If
the grass is under control, the or
chard harrow and diverse cultivatoi
are two good farm implements foi
results now. They do not injure
the roots but kill the young grass
and weeds, maintain a dust mulch
and thereby conserve the moisture
which is so necessary at this time.
Shallow cultivation is best for
the corn until we get a good rain.
There must be a dust mulch main
tained in order to hold the moisture
while we wait for the rain. This
sort of cultivation with an orchard
harrow, diverse cultivator or buz
zard wing, if there is much grass
should be kept up till ears are well
formed. The amount of work will
be increased but you will be pleased
with the increase in the yield of
com. In some localities cotton
should be thinned out. It is not
best to stunt the growth of the field
by having the stalks too thick.
The distance the rows are apart,
the class of the land and other
conditions will help you in deciding
this.
This week we have had several
requests for information regarding
hog cholera. This is a dangerous
disease, and you should watch for
it closely. One man reports that
he lost twenty five hogs before he
knew what was the matter. The
hog cholera serum will control the
disease and your hogs. Get in
touch with Dr. J. F. Stanford at
Fayettville. the State Veternarian.
He will gladly give you advice.
He makes no charge for the treat
ment except his expenses and the
actual cost of the serum.
A home canning outfit will not
cost over $12 or $15, and it will
pay to invest in one. A machine
of this price has a capacity of from
200 to 1,000 cans per day. Home
canners have made as high as $1.
000 a season in Arkansas. It pays
to utilize in this way fruits and
vegetables that cannot be market
ed. Write to this office for ad
dresses of home canning outfits.

Cold" Electric light.
Cold light is the goal which the
scientists have been working to
ward. The carbon filament or
ordinary electric lamp is a waiter
of energy because almost all of the
power goes to the production of
heat rather than light. The tung
sten lamp gives three times the
light, because less of the current
goes into heat. Prof. Dwssard of
Paris has recently made a very
important discovery in this connect
ion, which has been already briefly
referred to before. He finds that
if a strong current is sent through
an ordinary incandescent lamp for
a very short interval and the cur
rent is then shut off and if this pro
cess is repeated continuously at
the rate of 16 interruption to the
second, the lamp will give out a
more powerful light than before and
will still remain cool. By allowing
the filament to have this infinitesi
mal period of rest, it does not be
come hot. and yet the quality of
light produced is about double the
normal. Such ia.mps are specially
valuable for use with moving pic
ture machines and in other places
where there is danger of fire fronr
the heat of the ordinary lamps.
You know that when flashes of
light become as numerous as 1 6 to
the second they appear to the
human eye as continuous. This is
the principal underlying moving
pictures, which are thrown on the
screen at that rate. The light of
the new "cloud lamp" in the same
way consists of a series of flashes
at the rate of ] 6 to l.he second, bu1
to the eye these flashes appear as a
continuous scream of light. This
novel lamp is being put out, accord
ing to a U. S. consular report, by
the Societe Internationale de
Lumiere Froide,(or Cold Light).

Manager of a Railroad Cured of Eczema by
Hunt's Cure.
At one time 1 had a very bad •
case of Eczema. It troubled me
for seven or eight years, and, al
though 1 tried all kinds of medicine
and several doctors, I got no re
lief until I used Hunt's Cure. I
used several boxes, and it finally
cured me. and I have always kept
a box with me for-fear it will come
back. A. D. Goodenough,

School Contests and Exhibits at all
Conntv Pairs.
State Supervisor Geo. B. Cook
and Rural School Superviser J. L.
Bond are urging all county Super
intendents and county examiners
of the state to'take up at once, if
they have not already done so. the
matter of arranging and holding
school contests of various kinds in
connection with all county or dis
, trict fairs 'his fall.
County school fairs of this char
acter were hel/d last year in half
the counties of the state and the
value and results to the schools
from holding there school fairs and
school contests with the exhibits
of school work shown on these
occasion were indeed far reaching.
The plan suggested for arranging
these ^school and athletic contests
is very simple. Each county
superintendent or examiner has
been requested to appoint a com
mittee on arrangements for h s
county such committee to be com
posed of three or more members
with the county superintendent or
! examiner as ex-officio chairman.

Arkansas and thp State fair.
Now that the 1913 Arkansas
State Fair is well under way, and
the p'ans are beginning to mature,
the feature of the coming exposition
which appeals especially to the
officers and promoters is the fact
that the fair will undoubediy be the
greatest expositionof the resources
of Arkansas ever held in the history
of the state.
Each year the State of Arkansas,
itself, becomes a bigger and more
important factor in the State Fair,
more counties and more Arkansas
| interests are being represented, and
the outlook for 1913 along these
; lines are brighter at this time than
they have ever been.
At the 1 9 1 2 fair a large number
of counties made sp -ruid exhibits
in competition for the eigh* cash
prizes offered for the Best County
Exhibits and this \ ear the nvalry
among the 75 coui ties seems to be
more spirited than ever.
