Make Use Of Rainy Days.
We have had too much rain re
xecently, and this has thrown
many of the farmers behind with
their work. At some time dur
ing the spring we always have
too much rain, and it would
serve us mighty well if we would
r.lvays keep this in mind and
prepare for it the best we can.
During the good weather we can
make note of a good many odd
jobs that vie can do on rainy
days. By making a list of
Them we will soon find that the
rainy days come in profitably
and the time is not lost
During wet weather the grass
and weeds grow rapidly and are
hard to kill. Use the harrow
cross-wise of the rows on the
rows of corn and, cotton after
the plants are up. Do not start
the harrow early in the morn
ing, but wait until nine or ten
o’clock. The young plants are
tougher after the sun shines on
them awhile, and will not break
down so easily. Do not plow
' when the ground is too wet. It
is time thrown away, and often
does more harm than good. Bet
ter use the hoe than plow when
the ground is wet., It is costlier,
but pays the best. Hoe-made
corn is high-priced corn, but it
is better than no corn at all.
Plant some cow peas, velvet
beans or soy beans this month.
If you can’t plant this month,
make arrangments for next
— -
month- Set aside the land for
one or more of these crops. Do
not forget the sorghum patch,
either. It is needed to make
molasses and also to furnish
good pasture for hogs later on.
Cow peas and sorghum together
make a good hay crop. The sor
ghum doesn’t benefit the 1
but the cow pea, the velvet bean (
and soy bean do. The two latter
add lots of nitrogen to the soil,
and that is the costliest element
required to make rich soil. Ev
ery farm should have a potato
patch. After the potatoes are
dug do not let the land lie idle,
but plant it to another crop.
Several crops* can be grown after
potatoes. If in doubt about
what to try, fall back on the dd
reliable cow pea. Every farm
should have either alfalfa or
clover on it- It is not every
farm that will grow alfalfa, but
most of them will grow some of
the clovers. Prepare some land
for clover and sow it this fall.
You can do no better than try
some bur clover. Alsyke clover
is good for wet land, is good for
pasture and hay, Crimson clover
is a soil builder that is hard to
equal and makes a fine crop.
By all means take care of the
calves and pigs. There are few
er cattle in Arkansas today than
for the past twenty-five years.
This is a fact. You know what
it means. Keep the cows and
heifer calves especially, we neeu
them for breeding purposes- One
acre of Arkansas land can be
made to sustain one head of cat
tle, and yet we haven’t an aver
age of one head to every forty
acres. The Lord gave the in
junction to his people to “’multi
ply and replenish the earth". As
a Christian people we are obedi
ent to this command, and so
Arkansas is a land of babies.
Now all we need to make and
keep this a land of “milk and
! honey” is to supply the milk.
Hence one of the demands for
more and better cattle.

Commisioner of Agriculture.

I Friedmann Cure Worthless De
clares Tuberculosis Expert.
United Press Service.
1 Washington, D. C-, May 12.—
Dr. Friedmann’s vaccine, after
a year of careful experimenta
tion, according to Dr. George
Mannheimer, of New York, has
exhibited neither curative nor
preventive powers, and it can
| not, therefore, be recommended.
Dr. Mannheimer made this state
ment today at the sessions of
| the Clinical Section of the Na
! lional Association for the study
! and Prevention of Tuberculosis
1 in annual convention here.
“In March, 1913,” said Dr.
I Mannheimer, “18 patients were
treated under my supervision.
| Of these 155 can be followed up.

and of that number 3 are dead- i
The number of injections in
these cases were one, two, and
four respectively. • Of the re
maining twelve patients, ten j
received one, and two received j
four injections. Five of the ten 1
patients who received one in- 3
jection developed abscesses at
the site of the injection and ;
were therefore unsuitable for ,J
further injections.”
I I
According to the inventor, the ;
other five patients were not re- 1
injected, either because they did |
not see the improvement they
had been led to expect or be
cause they had become worse
and had lost confidence in Fried
mann. As to their present con- ■
dition, five of them are now un
changed and five are worse than
a year ago. One patient who had
four injections, feels well and
presents signs of an arrested
iung process, but he has not
gained in weight and has devel
oped a new tuberculosis process
in another part of the body. The
second patient with four in
jections has tuberculosis of the
knee-joint and is now decidedly
worse than before. The infil
trate of the fourth injection
broke down and discharged pus.

VV licit: itouivou ctw
the site of the first injection, the
vaccine apparently produced no
additional harmful effect. The
disease remained uninfluenced
Friedmann neglected to prevent
abscess formation, although he
claimed to know how. To be very
charitable, one might judge
from one single case, that de
cided natural healing tendencies,
aided by common-sense treat
ment; will not be hindered by the
remedy.”
In speaking of the subject,
“The Subsequent History of
Cases Discharged From Tuber
culosis Sanitoria,” Dr. Charles
Bolduan, of the New York De
partment of Health, declared
that tuberculosis sanitoria are
useless and constant preaching
of fresh air wasted unless “we
bend every effort to provide suit
able remunerative fresh air em- j
ployment for the tuberculosis,
especially for those discharged ;
as arrested cases from sanitor
ia.” The same argurrtent was
[made by the Rev. Sidney Gold
' stein, of New York, who declar
ed that unless arrested cases are
“followed up” the work is ren-1
dered useless.
Two methods, by the use of
which surgery has proven of
service in the treatment of tu
berculosis, were reported upon
by Dr. Archbald, of Montreal.
“Whilt* modern methods of cli
matalogical, hygienic and dieteic
treatrrient accomplish a great
deal, particularly in incipient
tuberculosis,” said Dr. Arch
bald, “there remains a large
number of cases with more ad
vanced disease for whom these
methods avail little. For a cer
tain number of such'patients, es
pecially those in whom one lung
is the seat of serious ulcerative
lesions while the other lung re
mains practically sound, opera
tive surgery will often prove of
great service ” The first method
suggested by Dr. Archbald,
known as artificial pneumothor
ax aims to produce a collapse of
life affected lung through com
pression, effected by the intro
ducing into the chest cavity out
side of the lung a certain
amount of nitrogen gas. By
means of this compression, the
lung, being at rest and pre
vented from filling its natural
function, is more readily healed
than it could be under normal j
conditions. The second method
consists in the removal of the
ribs or portions of them, so that
ftmospheric pressure may act
. upon the lung through the soft,
yielding structures of the thor
jacic muscles, or that tlie ribs
may be allowed to fall in upon
j the lung beneath and so cause
compression.
