Will Be a Great Meeting.
One of the greatest gatherings
within the history of El Dorado
will be on May 19. 20, 21 and 22,
when the Arkansas State Medical
Society comes here for their annua!
meeting.
The Union County Medical So
ciety and the city of El Dorado,
whose guests they will be, have
contributed more than $1,000 for
the entertainment of the medicos
and fully 500 of them are expected
to be here to share the hospitality
of our city and attend the meetings
of their society.
In addition to the regular pro
gram of the meeting, arrangements
are being made to furnish enter
tainment for the visitors. Among
those planned will be a banquet ai
the Hotel Garrett, where plates
will be laid for 500. The regular
program of the meeting is in course
of preparation, and will be printer
as soon as it is completed. Th
different committees have abou
completed all the arrangements for
the reception of our guests, and it
is safe to say that they will be
royally cared for.
Some of the most noted physi
cians and surgeons of the United
States will be here at this meeting,
coming from Philadelphia, Chicago.
St. L^uis and New Orleans. These
gentlemen have not only a nation
al. but an international reputation,
and stand at the head of their pro
fession. Also several leading man
ufacturers of surgical instruments
tnd appliances have reserved space
for an exhibition of goods of their
manufacture, which will be made
while the Association is in session
here.
The business meetings of 4he
Association will be held at the
court house, which will comforta
bly care for the delegates, and we
trust that their meeting in *our
beautiful little city will be pleasant
and profitable. Union County Tri
bune.

A church in this county has lost
a member, it is said, simply because
he is a little deaf and misunder
stood the choir a few weeks ago.
Some time ago the lost member
promised the church a sum of
money as soon as he sold a calf he
was getting ready for market. On
this particular Sunday night the
choir sang “The Half Has Never
Yet Been Told." and the deaf mem
ber understood them to sing "The
Calf Has Never Yet B-en Sold.”
He was somewhat put out about it
and next morning said he woulu
never attend that church again,
although the publication of this ex
planation may induce him to again
take up the good work in behalf of
his former co-worke's.

The presence of dogwood blos
soms r mind us that it is time for
corn to be planted. In fact thou
sands cf acres have been planted
and much of it is coming up. Good
preparation of the land before plant
ing is ha,f the battle in making a
good crjp. The corn and cct'cn
should both be planted in fiat set d
beds if practical. If the ground is
too low, then bed it just enough to
protect from standing //ater. Aft- r
planting if a baking rain forms a
crust the harrow should be run over
before the crop comes up. The
first plowing of corn may be drep
if it is thought best. After that,
cultivate shallow and level. Two
inches is deep enough. Good seed,
good land preparation, and keeping
out the weeds and grass, are the
main things that man can do to
make a crop. The stirring of the
soil has something to do with the
moisture and the letting oi air intp
the soil. Shallow cultivation tends
to hold the moisture and de°p
cultivation turns up the moist
earth so the moisture will evapo
rate and escape.
A recent experiment was made
in Illinois that will prove interest
ing. Six different methods were
employed in corn cultivation in the
same field, all the land being pre
pared alike and planted alike. In
the first the crop was not plowed
or cult:vated at all, but the weeds
and grass were scraped away with
the hoe. The crop made 68.2
bushels to the acre. In the second
the crop had four shallow cultiva
tions and made 70 bushels to the
acre. In the third there were four
deep cultivations and the crop
made 66.7 bushels to the acre.
In the fourth the crop had eight
shallow cultivations and made 72 8
bushels to the acre. In the fifth
case the crop had eight deep culti
vations and made 64 '2 bushels to
the acre. In the sixth there was
no cultivation at all and no crop
was made. If the experiment hid
been made during a drouth or dry
season the difference would have
been greater.
Cow peas have been scarce and
high this year. Do not fail to grow
some this season. Plant a few
acres in the drill and gather and
thresh them. Get you a pea
thresher. They are not expensive
and are useful. Every farm should
have on i. Plant peas on every
run down part of the farm, and be
sure to follow your oats with peas.
By all means provide a good pas
ture. You will need it for your
work stock. A good pasture saves
lots of money. It will keep the
stock going on light feed when not
at work. Remember that it costs
about twice as much to feed a work
horse as it does to feed a farm
hand Every hour the work stock
spend in a good pasture is a saving
of money. Pasture for the sum
mer and hav and forage crops for
the winter will help you to be a
success as a farmer.

Public sentiment should be
against it ana we believe it is:
there can be no reason why ladies
should suffer with headaches and
neuralgia, especially when Hunt’s
Lightning Oil gives such prompt
relief. It is simplv a question of
getting the ladies to try it. All
druggists sell Hunt's Lightning O i
