DELAYED ANSWER
Ethel, aged 4, had been to
visit her cousins, two fun-lov
ing boys. “Papa,” she said, the
night of her erturn home, “ev
ery night when John and George
say their prayers they ask God
to make them good boys.”
“That’s nice,” said papa.
Then, thinking soberly for a
few minutes, Ethel added, “He
ain’t done it yet, though.”

PREPARE TO RAISE
A LIVING AT HOME
Staple Crops Should Have At
tention But Others Should
Not Be Neglected, Page Says
The prime object in farm life
s to make a living,and provide
:he occupants with the neces
saries and comforts of life, and
secondarily to supply the means
of education and social advan
tages for the children, and such
luxuries as can be afforded.
Cotton is the main staple crop
for Arkansas, and always will
be. It is grown successfully and
profitably in all counties, save
seven in the Northwest, and ex
tensively grown in all but
eleven. Fruit makes a good sta
ple crop in twelve to fourteen
counties in the Northwest.Sweet
potatoes and peanuts can be
made the leading staple crops
in eight to ten countiesinSouth
ern Arkansas, if properly hand
led and properly manufatcured
and cotton relied upon as a sec
ondary staple crop. The staple
crop of any community is the
one to rely upon to produce the
money for the farm, and from
the money crop may be expect
ed the net profits on the farm.
Necessarily all farm operations
should bear relative to the sta
[MC KJk UiUlICJ
By custom and habit, the
many farmers subordinate all
farm operations to the staple
or money crop. That is wrong.
First provide, one to three good
cows to furnish milk and butter
the year round; then provide a
good chicken house, and with
about ten dollars worth of poul
try wire make pens and runs
for the chickens, so they can
be kept out of the garden and
and crops. Set apart a good
garden spot and make it rich.
Study your almanac, and learn
about the best vegetables, and
how and when to plant, and at
the proper time plant the gar
den. Be careful and do not
plant a bigger gardenthanyour
wife can cultivate. Set aside an
acre or two for good calf pas
ture ; and an acre for truck
patches, in which plant early
sweet corn, potatoes,cantaloup
es, turnips, spinach, watermel
ons, peanuts and pop corn. In
the spring buy a home canning
outfit, and use it duringthesea
son. Put out a few peach and
apple trees, a number of small
grape vines, and about one
eighth of an acre of strawber
ries. Provide yourself with two
to four good brood sows, and
get a good pure-bred male.
Breed your sows in November
or December, and take good
care of the pigs when they come,
and feed and pasture them for
meat next fall. Plant* enough
hay and forage crops to feed
your stock. Provide a pasture
for your work stck at night,and
on Sundays and rainy days. It
will save feed. Let the women
and children attend to the milk
ami butter and chickens and
perhaps the garden.Dothrfield
work yourself, or hire a hand
to help. When all this is done,
put in all the staple crop that
will be abe to cutivate well,and
do not neglect one part for an
other. Add all the live stock you
can carry along with this sys
tem, and make yourlandasrich
as you can with manure, and by
planting and plowingundercow
peas, and other green crops.
Do these things, and you will
succeed, raise a happy family,
educate your childrenandmake
them good and useful citizens.

Woman Finally Recover*
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their iltne. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Bonner, 8_’5 N. x8th St., Birnnng
ham, Ala., says:
“I have been suffering with nerv
ous prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Birmingham, but they all
failed to reach mv case. I would
feel as if I was smothering: finally
I went into convulsions. My little
girl saw
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
advertised in the papers and I at
once began to take It. I continued
to take it for some time and now I
am well.”
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if yon are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of tiie
daily grind of life you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you. but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine '
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter bow many other
remedies have failed to help you.
Sold by all druggists. If first bottle
fails to benefit your money is returned.
