THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Common salt and water
make a capital gargle for a
sore throat and this lotion also
relieves tired eyes.
Add a pinch of carbonate of
soda to fruit when stewing.
This takes away the tartness
and less sugar is required.
A pinch of salt placed on
the tongue and washed down
with a cup of hot strong tea is
an excellent cure for a sick
headache.
To keep bread fresh soak a
small new sponge in cold wat
er, place it in a saucer and
stand the suacer in the bread
pan. The bread will remain
moist for several days.
Add a teaspoonful of glycer
ine to every four pounds of jam
or marmalade about 15 minutes
before boiling is completed,and
the preserves will be beautiful
ly clear and transparent.
Any scrub sires on your
place? If so, arrange to kill
or emasculate them at once.
There never has been a time
vvhen you could afford to keep
them, but there never has been
a time when you can so ill af
ford to do it as just now.

its maximum capacity are be
ing formulated at the annual
meeting of the county agents
of the Agricultural Extension
Division of the University of
Arkansas, which opened yes

at the College of Agriculture
and more than 85 county a

ists are in attendance.
The speakers were: Presi-1
dent J- C. Futrall of the Uni

setter, director of agricultural
extension work, who spoke on

The convention will continue !

GET THE GOOD
OUT OF YOUR
FARM PAPER
The farmer who does not
take and read and make useful
to him in his work one or more
good farm papers is not getting
what he should out of his farm.
The farmer who does not
take at least one farm paper,
who imagines that he can save
money by doing without, is not
saving money but wasting it.
Only a man who cannot read
can fail, if he tries, to get more
than its cost out of any good
farm paper.
The man who takes farm
papers but “hasn’t time to read
them,” as farmers sometimes
say they have not, is a man
who has not learned to use his
time to best advantage- No
hours pay better than the ones
devoted to acquiring useful in
formation.
The man who reads his farm
j papers and does not find in
! them practical help with the
jobs he has to do on the farm,
either has the wrong sort of i
I papers or does not go at them
in the right way. It is all right |
| to read for entertainment or
amusement, but when a man
reads his farm paper he should
read for the purpose of learn- j
ing what he needs to know
about his work. Then, if he j
does not find that information
lie should write and ask for it.
Make your farm paper one
of the ,‘hands” on your farm.

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Every horse has raw spots
in their cheeks caused by sharp
corners on their teeth which
ought to be taken off every
four months from the age of
1 to 9 years, after that every
6 to 12 months. If this work is
attended to your horse will
have better health, keep fatter
on less food, and live longer.
Other veterinarians are charg
ing from $1 to $5 a mouth for
this work, but my Christmas
i price from now to Jan. 1, 1918
will be 75c for each mouth. I
am charging only $1 a call at
my residence, 50c a mile or
fraction thereof for travel one
way; 50 cents an hour lor
staying with patient after first
| hour, extra for medicine and
other expenses on trip. These
prices are very low consider
ing the general high cost and
will come up Jan. 1, 1918. So
have your work done now at
the Christmas price.

ONLY ONE WAY
However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor
comes.
With fluttering flags and
prancing nags
And echoing roll of drums.
Still truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light—
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
Though the heel of the strong
oppressor
May grind the weak in the
dust,
And the voices of fame w'ith
one acclaim
May call him great and just.
Let those who applaud take
warning
And keep this motto in sight,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Let those who have failed take
courage
Though the enemy seemed to
have won,
Though his ranks are strong.
if in the wrong
The battle is not yet done.
For sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
