HAIL STORM DOES MUCH
DAMAGE AT I'ARAGOl LI>
May 25, between 7 and 8 o’colek, a
hail storm of great violence and*last
ing for fifteen minutes, passed over
Paragould and practically destroyed
all the gardens in town, and doing
much damage to crops. It came from
the northwest and traveled southeast.
This is the fourth hail storm I rem
ember. On the 21st day of August,
1867, a furious storm passed through
my father’s neighborhood and destroy -
crops, fruit, gardens and tearing the
foliage from the trees.. On the 6th
of May, 1886, another as violent as
the frist passed on the same track,
leaving destruction in its trail. On the
28 of June, 1888, a more furious hail
storm raged in the Charlotte neigh
borhood. 1 remember there were 56
farmers reported their crops a partial
or total loss,. My brother, W. M. Jer
nigan, had a 6 or 8 acre piece of oats
ready about for the reaper and as 1
saw the field in a few days after,
you could not tell there had ever
been a straw standing.The destruction
was total. John Gibson had cotton in
the old Seymour field near Mrs.
Amanda Holcomb’s ad it was said that
Griffin Hogan offered a dollar for
every whole cotton leaf that could he
found in the field.
While my garden, the prettiest 1
have ever had, is a total wreck, 1 am
so glad it was not a cyclone that 1
am satisfied, and thank God and go
on. The old adage is true, “Never so
bad that it could not be worse.”
Like the old fellow who dreamed
he died and went to h—. Next morn
ing he was much troubled and met a
neighbor who inquired of his ailment
and the old fellow said, “Well, 1
dreamed last night I died and went
to torment and I am deeply troubled
“Oh,” said his comforter, it could
have been worse.”
“1 don’t see how,” responded the
old man.
“Why when you die you may go
! there and that would be worse.”
So we will pick up our courage, re
plant and redouble our efforts and
look for a better day.
Regards to all, both kindred and
friends.

Lowest cost per pound
of real roughage
OLD style
hulls cost
more per
pound of rough
age than the
price per ton
indicates. This
is because they
are one-fourth
lint which has
no food value.
To know how
much each pound of roughage in this form is costing you,
you must divide the price per ton by 1500—not by 2000.

cost exactly what you pay for them. Every pound is all roughage—
no useless lint. To really know the difference in cost between old
style hulls and Buckeye Hulls you must know the cost per pound of
real roughage.
Even though Buckeye Hulls do sell at a much lower price than old
style hulls, you can’t realize how’ much less they are costing you
until you consider how much more real roughage a ton contains.
Other Advantages
Buckeye Hulls go farther. Sacked—easy to handle.
They allow better assimilation They mix well with other forage.
of other food. Take half as much space in the
No trash or dust. barn.
Mr. Dan Wolf, Hammond Bldg. &Mfg. Co., Hammond, La., says:
“I am feeding Buckeye Hulls to milch cows and find
them a satisfactory filler when mixed with cottonseed
meal and other concentrates. At the present price of
feed stuff, Buckeye Hulls are the cheapest roughage on
the market."
T« secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the
South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for
using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make th'8 beauty lotion cheaply for
your face, neck, arms and hands.
At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem
ons into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lo
tion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the "ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
.lust try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and bands. It is
marvelous to smoothen rough, red hands.
