tal, asked judgment for $548,
326 against the contractors.
The contractors in their com

which they claim they never

II BETTER FARMING
II HINTS
_
BY J. H. MILLER

II llllllllllllllll II
MAKING GOOD BUTTER
Why not more pride in mak
ing good butter on the farm?
Cleanliness is the principal ele
ment, although good cows,good
feed, kindness, a little salt and
brains are also necessary. Two
thirds of the butter used in Ar
kansas towns comes from other
states.
ccececttc
SWEET CORN
Farmers who like good things
to eat should certainly have
three or four plantings ofsweet
corn for the family. Plant two
square rods NOW and another
plot two weeks later and then
one or two more plantings.One
man reports seven plantings
last year and sweet corn forthe
table every week from the first
of July to the middle of Octob
er. Sweet corn sells well in any
town and the stalks are fine
for the cow. Ask the dealer to
send for a quart if not kept in
stock. The Country Gentleman
Is a good variety.
QUIT SELLING COWS
The greatest calamity in Ar
kansas .just now is the sale of
cows and heifers from our
farms. There ought to be an
embargo, if it were legal,
against selling any heifers or
any cows under ten years of
age. Arkansas needs a thou
sand pure bred bulls brought
into the state but she can’t
spare a heifer or a cow. Our
farms need the manures and
our farmers need the cash they
would realize next year from
calves from scrub cows and sir
ed by pure bred bulls. Arkan
sas farmers can make money
by growing calves and feeders
for the northern farmers to
finish.
SELL ON STANDARDS
Farmers and other good
manufacturers should always
sell on standard and on repu
tation. It will pay farmers and
their wives to make high stand
ards and have their products
sought for. Sell only infertile
eggs and eggs of uniform size
and color. Sell only sweet and
clean butter in nice shapes. Sell
| only choice bei*ries or apples or
cantaloupes and perfectly hon
est packages.
RAISE SHEEP
A small flock of sheep on a
farm is always profitable, no
matter what the market condi
tions of mutton and wool. Since
August 1914 the destruction of
woolen goods in Europe has ex
ceeded that of any ten years
preceding. The war has also
reduced the holdings of sheep
both in England and Australia.
For ten years wool is bound to
command a good price and all
meats will be high.
INFERTILE EGGS
Let every consumer ask the
grocer or farmer for infertile
eggs ami take no other. Then
the old roosters will be fatten
ed and sold and the young
roosters that are to be kept for
sale for breeding purposes will
be separated from the laying
hens. Remember that the hens
will lay more eggs if the males
are not present and that the
presence of the males will ren
der the eggs unfit for table use
in the hot weather after from
thirty to forty hours. Swat the
rooster. Sell only infertile eggs.
GOOD HEALTH
The farmer’s greatest asset
is good health for himself and
his family. To keep in good
health all must have food,pro
perly prepared, must observe
common sense rules of sanita
tion and cleanliness and must
keep premises free from con
taminating conditions.Fliesand

GREAT DEMONSTRATION
OF FARM TRACTORS
Already over forty manufac
turers of tractors, plows, har
rows, and road machinery have
signed up to demonstrate their
line of machinery at the first
national demonstration to be
held at Grand Prairie, Texas,
[July 18-21. This location is
midway between Dallas and
Fort Worth, and has ideal fa
cilities for quick transportation
to and from the ground.
This will be the greatest de
monstration of power farming
ever staged in the Southwest.
Every conceivable belt and bar
capacity of tractors will be
shown. Road building machin
ery will be demonstrated daily.
Plans have been made to
make this event of value to the
farmer and dealer and to ev
eryone interested in the devel
opment of any phase of power
farming.
Railroads have intimated that
a very favorable rate will be
given.
