SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE
One Need Not Go Far From the
Haunts of Man to Hear Bird’s
Sweet Strains.
One of our great American natural
ists once went to England in hope to
hear the nightingale. Although he
wandered for many miles over Surrey
and Hampshire, his search was well
nigh fruitless. Had he gone no farth
er than the outskirts of London, he
might have fared better. There are
etill certain spots in the suburbs to
which the nightingale returns year af- j
ter year.
One of them is Wimbledon Common, I
where the bird sings every spring, oft- ;
en, however, quite unrecognized by
those who hear him. It is commonly
believed that because, as all the world
knows, the nightingale sings by night,
he keeps silence during the day. Nev
er was delusion more ill-founded. It
might be in part accounted for if the
bird were of a particularly timid and
fearful nature. But he is not; in fact,
nightingales are, as a rule, least shy
where they are most accustomed to
man's presence.
Not only does this much misunder
stood bird (some nightingales, of
course, more than others) sing at In
tervals all'day long, but he appears
at times to take delight in singing to
a crowd.
He Did Not Try It.
"Nobody ^ut booba fight American
style,” said a man, as he got up from
a battered piano in one of the New
York trotteries. “Over in Paree you
go up to the guy you want to lick, put
your right hand on his shoulder and
snap your fingers a couple of times.
When he raises his hand to punch,
grab his wrist. Twist it to the right
and back into him, holding on. All
you gotta do then is bend and toss
him over your shoulder.” "But sup
pose something goes wrong?” said one
of the songsters. "Then there’s the
hat trick,” said the speaker, impres
sively. "Try it on his hat brim. That
gets him sore and your hand is in a
good place.” Whereupon the song
men guyed him. A minute later there
entered a tall, wide-shouldered strang
er. The man who bad been to Paris
spotted him. "See that big guy? Just
watch me put it over on him.” Whiie
the big stranger looked on in amaze
ment the piano player flicked him once
on the shoulder. The air was tense as
he flicked again. Like a flash the
stranger’s right hand landed flush on
the jaw, dropping the pianist like a
sack of cement. Out of the uproar
that followed came the cry from the
singers: "Go on, Joe! Try the hat
trick!”
Close Buying.
“Commend me to the average wom
an shopper for real shrewdness," says
the manager of a well-known estab
lishment. "We received a visit from
one tlie other day that taught us some
thing.
"She was considering the purchase
of a yard of silk at SO cents. The
woman's purchase left a remnant of
a yard and a half, which the salesgirl
suggested that she should take.
“‘What’ll it cost?’ asked the shop
per.
“ ‘Fifty cents.’
“ ‘I'll take it,’ was the prompt re
sponse, ‘and you may keep the yard
you’ve torn off.’ ”—Youth's Compan
ion.
Populous Spanish Provinces.
The six provinces that form what
is kijown as "Sevillian Andalusia" and
"Estremadura” contain a population of
over 5,170,000 and cover 54,059 square
miles—a density of population of ap
proximately 100 to the square mile, or
three times that of the United States,
which is 30.9, but less than one-third
that of Germany, which is 310.96 to
the mile. In this territory there are 48
cities and 519 towns, containing (with
the smaller country towns and isolated
houses) 533,047 edifices.

MEANS DOLLARS AND CENTS TO
FARMER’S PURSE—HEALTHIER
PIGS AND MORE FOOD FOR THE
FAMILY.
It is a mistake to fatten brood sows
before farrowing time, as p:gs are
likely to be weak anti often farrowed
dead. The more common mistake
.s to allow the sow to rustle for her
self and farrow in a very thin condi
tion. As a result, if the litter is of
fair size, milk will be pretty scarce.
Feed the sow liberally so that she
Comes to farrowing time in just lair
round condition, supplying pb i. 'y of
n.uscle and tissue building material,
and therefore not using corn alone
for the ration. Equal parts of corn
and wheat shorts, supplemented by
one part of tankage to eight or t n
parts of corn and shorts mixture, made
up in moderately thin slop for 12 hours
before feeding should make a good
ration.
A few davs before farrowing put
the sow' In a pen by herself and cut i
down the ration a little and perhaps :
use a little less corn. If the sow is
young watch her carefully, and if she
has a tendency to bite the pigs re- |
move them until they are all farrowed, I
and then give them back to her watch- j
ing her behavior while doing so. The ;
bed in the farrowing house should be
dry and clean, ot fine material and
not too deep. It is in the (Jeep beds
that pigs get laid on. Wet beds soon
chill the pigs, especially if they are
born during bad weather.
As a rule the sow will not care for
much food for a day or two after far
rowing, but once hi a while with old
sows they will feed very shortly. If
:he sow is fairly thin and shows a
good appetite do not withhold feed as
it may cause a feverish condition

which generally results in a sow eat
ing her pigs. With a large litter the
sow will need plenty of teed to make
milk. in getting them back on feed
one must be guided by judgment of
conditions. With small litters, liberal
feeding of sows, makes the pigs fatten
rapidly and thus predisposes them to
thumps. Skimmed milk with wheat
shorts and corn are excellent feed.
Where one has good pasture it is de
sirable to turn the sow out with her
litter when they are a couple of weeks
old.
If the sow is to raise two litters a
year it Is desirable to keep her in
good condition so that she can be bred
again soon after weaning her first lit
ter. Do not make the common mis
take of using young sows each year.
Save the tested old sows as they are
generally better mothers and raise
larger litters.

ORGANIZE FOR MARKETING
i
Extension Service of College of Agri
culture Planning Work.
Co-operation, or in other words, or
ganized marketing, is one of Arkansas’
greatest problems at the present time
In many localities satisfactory produce
is grown and can be produced in large
quantities if a profitable market can
be secured and maintained. Reputa
tion on any market can be made by
catering to the demands of the mar
ket and held by delivering the goods
according to the standards required
by that market. It is well known that
high standards of efficiency can he.
reached by individuals, but as a rule
are not ordinarily attained, and a local
organization must be resorted to to
protect the individual or the com
munity.
Market Extension Work.
The Department of Horticulture of
the Arkansas College of Agriculture
has planned a line of extension work
in marketing. At each public meeting
work in horticulture will be based
primarily on standards of marketing
products which are grown commercial
ly for that community. Approved
methods of grading, packing and types
of containers will be demonstrated
and explained to each community.
Plans of organizing small associations
will be discussed and a copy left with
each individual grower in order to
work out a local organization. Mach
community must co-operate in such as
sociations and see that it is affiliated
with a stronger organisation if neces
sary. Marketing standards will he ,
discussed for apples, peaches, melons, j
cnior.s, strawberries, raspberries, !
blackberries, cherries, cabbage, rad
ishes and other horticultural products
according to (he community.

The Last is the Best
EFORE the clays of tango teas
and fox trots, when we gathered
at the home of somebody’s best
beau down in the Old T own,
we used to “countout” for the
games, and the invariable rule
of THE LAST IS TH E BEST
OF ALL THE GAME was a
law that could not be disputed.
In a recent issue of the New
York Herald, James L. Ford,
in reviewing “Mr. Grex of
Monte Carlo” says that the work of E. Phillips
Oppenheisn improves steadily as the years roll on;
and that his stories are as full of dramatic interest
as ever.
1 rue, and his VERY LAST story is yet the best
of all. It has dramatic interest plus; it has in
dividuality; it is inventive, scientific, ingenious,
SKILLFUL a story that will live as long as will
the name of the author itself.
This wonderful story is “THE BLACK BOX,”
a mystery tale told as only Oppenheim can tell it.
Plausible, yet seemingly beyond human compre
hension; sensational, yet profoundly dignified,
mysterious without a hint of cheap “blood and
thunder.1’
I HE BLACK BOX is full of action—gripping,
soul stirring, thrilling—something doing in every
line never prosaic, never commonplace, never
dull. Being written by E. Phillips Oppenheirn
it necessarily follows that the plot is original, that
the situations are exciting, the denouement in
tensely dramatic.
And so “the last is the best of all the game,” and as noth
ing is too good for our readers, this LAST and BEST story
will he presented to them in serial form. The unique motion
pictures of THE BLACK BOX, which were produced by
the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, will be shown
at the same time in this city.
You will want to see these startling pictures, you will want
to read this thrilling story: you will want to he among
those who solve the mystery—who learn the secret of
THE BLACK BOX.
