are doing some plowing and it is
certainly encouraging to see the
care which is being taken in the
preparation of the seed bed. The
disc harrow and smoothing har
row are being used verv freely
by many of our farmers
The writer had occasion to go
over to Conway List Saturday
and he noticed on the way much
plowing which had been done re
cently. But very much to his
disappointment, he did not see
where a smoothing harrow had
been used at any place If the
people could only realize that a
great deal of the moisture es
capes from the soil when left
long after being broke without
harrowing, more of the farmers
would take steps to have their
land harrowed as fast as they
break it. The crops will need
the moisture next summer and
there is no better way to con
serve the moisture in the soil
than keeping a dust mulch on it
all the time by the continued use
of the smoothing harrow. I be
lieve it is one of the most useful
pieces of farm machinery,
k STEP FORWARD.
A Northamplon School Attempts to
Check Prevalence of Malaria
Women Leading.
In the firm belief that the re
cently talked of quinine bonbons
if persistently used would prove
a factor of no mean value in
checking the prevalence of ma
laria during the approaching ma
laria season, the Woman's Bet
terment Association of Olney
School appointed at its last meet
ing a committee to take the mat
ter in charge, buy the necessary
material and make the bonbons,
the association bearing the ex
penses connected therewith.
This committee met the 6th.
at the home of the Treasurer of
the association and in the pres
ence of an interested cou.paiiy of
helpers and well-wishing specta
tors, made 180 bonbons, each
containing approximately two
grains tannate of quinine. The
next morning at the school each
student nad tne pleasure of tast
ing the new medxine aod ir was
demonstrated beyond any shadow
of a douot that students, wheth
er suffering from malaria or not,
will take quinine in this form
without any remonstrance. Near
ly every one present looked as if
ne would be only too glad to be
put in the list of students to
whom this new form of quinine
was to be administered. It was
decided, however, as the present
supply of quinine bonbons was
so limited, to give them to only
those who had, during the past
Yew Weeks 'shown they had ma
laria in their systems. This is
being done and we hopefully
await results. W e see no reason
why we should not reap benefits
from using this form of quinine
which has proven so successful
in Italy.
