MATURE SOWS SHOULD
PRODUCE TWO LITTERS
Arkansas Conditions are Fav
orable For Spring and
frail Crop
Mature sows on Arkansas
farms should produce two lit
ters of pigs each year if the
farmer is to get the greatest
profit from them, according
to T. Roy Reid, live stock speci
alist of the extension service of
the University of Arkansas
College of Agriculture.
The usual climatic and feed,
conditions are not unfavorable
to fall pig production in this
state as in some sections of the
country, Mr. Reid states. Un
der average fall conditions the
fall pigs have a much better
chance than the average spring
pig which is turned loose to
make its own living beacuse ot
the abundant vegetation.
To produce fall litters, the
sows should be bred in June,
Mr. Reid advises. The gesta
tion, or development period is
112 days so that sows bred in
June will farrow in September
or October in time for the pigs
to start growth before cold
weather. The sow can then be
bred again about December 1
for another spring litter.
Only registered boars should
be used to breed to any sows
whether they be grades or
purebreds. The quality of the
pigs will be much more improv
ed by the purebred blood from
the sire and can be counted on
to make returns at least 25 per
cent greater than will those
sired by scrubs, according to
Mr. Reid.
The heavy loss of spring pigs
would indicate that there will
not be a surplus of hogs this
year ,is Mr. Reid’s opinion. Pigs
from fall litters will be of a
desirable size when the spring
demand for feeder pigs comes
and the returns from the sale
of these pigs will come in con
venient time to meet the need
lor cash for paying taxes anti
other spring obligations.
MUCH CREAM SHIPPED
Newport Dairymen Are Mak
ing Success of Industry.
Newport, June 10.—Three
thousand dollars worth of
cream was shipped into the
Newport station during the
month of May, for the Newport
Creamery, was announced by
F. L. Bleakley, manager of the
plant. The business of the
company during the month
just passed has more than
doubled that of May one year
ago. The factory was built
three years ago. The butter
is shipped to almost every city
in Northeast Arkansas of any
size and many southern points
as well. The greatest regret
says the manager that the
greater part of orders came
from beyond Jackson county
something to be deplored that
the farmers fail to have more
and better cattle, that money
spent for such products could
not be kept in Jackson county.
A HONEY DEW YEAR
This is another honey dew
year for this section of the Ark
ansas Ozarks. In many place'
the leaves on the trees and even
the grass is sticky with this
sweet substance which makes
its appearance every few years
Old timers say that its apear
tnce heralds a good crop year.
At least this holds good as far
as the honey crop, for the bees
are working overtime now stor
ing this sweet manna from
heaven in the hives. What it
is no one knows. Some say
that it is saccharine picked up
by the night fogs from the foli.
age of the dew.—Baxter Bul

My Little Wild Rose of
Arkansas
I found a little wild flower today,
In the Ozark Mountains faraway,
Mitl rocks and ledges c.lose to the skies—
Rut not too high for the butterflies;
Ami the bees, they came a-buzzing too,
For its wonderful fragrance well they knew;
And the breeze climbed up the mountain steep,
Like a lover true his tryst to keep;
And all were in love as deeply as I,
All'with a flutter, a buzz, or a sigh,
In love with a flower without a flaw,
That little Wild Hose in Arkansas!
Flowers there are in gay parterre,
By city streets they flaunt and flare;
With gaudy colors, and formal shape,
The stripes of a ribbon they stiffly ape,
Grimed with dust in the noonday glow,
Planted to dazzle, and all—for show;
When comes the dusk and electric light
No star can they see for the glaring blight;
But far on the mountain side my flower
Lovelier grows from hour to hour,
By day, by night, without a flaw,
The little Wild Rose of Arkansas.
The village flowers, I’ve not forgot,
Pansy blossoms, forget-me-not, «
Tulips, poppies of scarlet tint,
Verbenas that wander, and glisten and glint,
Frolic sweet peas with limber knees
That tumble somersaults on their green trapese,
And heliotropes that adore the sun
And shy mignonette that looks like a nun,
White 1 illies, graceful, proud and fair—
But a tig for such blossoms, they cannot compare
With the mountain flower without a flaw,
I he little \\ ild Rose of Arkansas.
Lovely its face in the dawn’s first gleam
As it lists to the music, half a-dream,
Of the whipporwill singing aloft in a pine
Till the morning star hath ceased to shine:—
Lovely its petals besprent with dew
As the sunbeams leap from the pearly blue,
And all day long the wee flower gazes
Down through the canyon’s purple hazes;
All day long in that mountain place
It glories God with its innocent face,
A childlike flower wtihout a flaw,
I he little Wild Rose of Arkansas,
With much that is fair ’tis easy to part.
Hut a beauty there is that haunts the heart,
And every thought of it brings a sigh
Long, long after we’ve said good-by;
That memory comes with her brush to limn,
And fancy loves in the gloaming dim ;
W hose grace we can close our eyes and see
Over hills and billows wherever it be;
The seasons pass, the long years chime,
1 o the soul it grows ever fairer with time—
And that is your beauty without a flaw,
\ ou little \\ ild Rose of Arkansas.
