A letter to School Trustees. This is the t.me of year that returns are being made for the year's taxes. A considerable part of the school fund comes from the poll and dog taxes. Mar y polls are never returned, and I l>elieve if all the dogs in the county were returned they alone would add $2,000.00 to the a school fund. I therefore urge that the trustees of every school district in the county at once procure a man.oroneof themselves,to make an accurate list of :he polls and dogs in their respective districts and hand same in to the county Auditor by March 1, at the atest. Yours very truly, J G McCullough, County Supt Education. - >- irtlO 1 1 1_Qf January o, x-xa-w Arkansas haj more mineral springs than any State in the Union. ?? mt the Pe le Cold i as not cooled our at ition.

It in good advice which a Colleton county, S C, exchange gives in urg ing xarmers to start oaint aauunu this full, no matter how small the amount left over after the year's debts are paid. We quote: "If one keeps money in his pocket,it is likely to go and he will never know how it goes; so though you have only ten dollars in your pocket, go to one of our banks and start a bank account. To have money in a bank will give one a feeling of independence nothing else can give. Do not think that because you have only five or ten dollars to start an account the cashier will not want your deposit. Any cashier will gladly welcome you as a depositor if you have but one dollar." We hope thousands of our readers will follow this excellent counsel. Having a bank account (1) encourages the saving habit, (2) dignifies the farmer by making him. more of a "business man," (3) provides a better system of paying out money than specie payments, (4) helps the community in which one lives, and (5) makes it easier for the depositor to borrow in case borrowing instead of depositing sometimes becomes advisable. Put your money in a bank.? The encu aizu uic pcu^i< d offerings we wi and get the goods: don't suit you. Ladies' sh special prices. Come and .? 1000 yards choice Calico.* goods only 5c yard.

I Let me tell your readers how I manage to get plenty of eggs all widter: (1) I get my pullets and hens ready for egg production by the 15th of October, April-hatched pullets and 1 ' ? 11 1 * ?Ml j two-year-oia nens wen careu iur win : , be ready for business by that time. | They must have pood feed and plen, ty of it. i (2) It is very important to have a good house for them. Let it be windproof on the west, north and east sides, with a two-foot space the whole length of the south side open, i with poultry netting to keep chickens in. Have a curtain of good thick ! cloth for the open space. Keep it , down at night and roll it up in the ' day. Have litter about 12 inches deep all over the floor of the house : for them to scratch in for their grain. Keep them in all rainy days , and out of snow. Never let them out as long as there is any snow on 1 the ground, for they will eat it and it will stop them from laying. (3) How 75 hens should be fed. Give them early in the morning 4 quarts wheat scattered in the litter in their house. At noon give them a mash made of two gallons bran and one quart of mealed clover. Use buttermilk, or any kind of milk, to make it up with if you have it. Give them about all they will eat up | clean. About three or four times a week put a little blood meal in their mash. Just before sundown I give them about all the corn and oats they will eat. I do not require them to scratch at this late hour. Give them the best quality of feed you can buy,for the best is the cheapest. They will pay for it with a good profit. Keep crushed oyster shells by them all the time. The next thing in order is to go around with a good-sized basket and get up the eggs,for you will need it. At least that is the way my Leghorns treat me.?Mrs J R Pace, in ^ The Progressive f armer.
