OUR COUNTY MAKING
PROGRESS WITH STOCK
INDEPENDENCE COUNTY NOW
PRODUCING SOME OK El NEST
IN THE SOUTH
Independence County farmers are
making splendid progress in growing
good stock, and it should be a matter
of pride to our citizens to know that
some of the best herds of hogs and
cattle in the entire South are found
right here in Independence county.
Without doubt the best herd of
Po]and China hogs in Arkansas is
owned by Herbert Benson of Newark.
Mr. Benson has about 80 head and no
better blood lines can be found in
America than is carried in this herd.
Five of his sows weigh more than
3500 pounds. His herd boar is, a
son of Dynamo 87546 a $5,000 boar.
One sow by Fessy’s Timm cost Mr.
Benson $650. She has a fine litter
of pigs by Big Pritch.
Some of the pigs in the herd are
sired by Harrison’s Big Bob, a $10,
200 Missouri boar. He also has a
number of pigs by Buster Clansman,
son of Win. Wrigley’s $18,000 Clans
man boar.
M. M. Rutherford of near Sulphur
Rock has one of the biggest and best
bred herds of Durocs in Arkansas or
in the entire South. Although this
herd has been brought together with
in the last twelve months, Mr. Ruth
erford has a herd of 300 registered
hogs. His herd boar is probably the
greatest son of Scissors, the South’s
greatest International Grand Cham
pion boar, owned by Pine Crest Farm,
Charleston, Mississippi.
Mr. Rutherford recently bought
several line bred Orion Cherry King
sows, one of which he paid $1125 for,
and bought her at a great bargain
at that price.
Both Mr. Benson and Mr. Ruther
ford will hold auction sales soon and
the biggest breeders in the country
will be on hand to buy some of these j
wonderfully bred hogs.
R. A. Dowdy and L. N. Ruther-;
ford have purchased jointly a Jersey
bull from the University of Arkan
sas. This bull carries the best blood
Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, o!
Palmer, Okla., writes:
“From the time 1 en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered w ith my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery, f would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to
me until, one day,
1 decided to

TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
“ 1 took four bottles,”
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, “and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
“ It has now been two
years since I tookCardui,
and 1 am still in good
health. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up your run-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.

of the fine University hei'd and as
1-00(1 breed ini- as any Jersey in the
South.
M. M. Rutherford has quite recent
ly assembled a herd of Jersey cat
lb' headed by a $5,000 bull. There is
no better herd in Arkansas. It would
I ay any man who likes to look at real
Jerseys bred in the purple to visit
this farm.
T. A. Gray of Batesvillc owns a
Holstein bull that is a fine individual
and well bred, lie is the kind that
will increase the milk flow and the
quantity of the butter.
J. M. Reynolds has a young Hol
stein bull, King Oakdale Mercedes
273355, a gradson of the 37 pound
site King Mercedes Mundane. He is
from a cow that has two records over
31 pounds and has a half sister that
has the same record.
With such blood as this in the coun
ty and within reach of everybody
there is no oeassion for breeding to
scrub sires and there is no reason
why we cannot rapidly develop into
a great dairy country.

NEW BALL PARK FOR NEWARK
Work on the new ball park for
Newark was started last Friday
when quite a bunch of fans got to
gether and cleaned up the ground
and furnished teams with which to
break and roll the ground to put it
in first class shape for playing.
The location of the new diamond
is on the south side of Front street,
between the Newark Lumber (os
store and the Newark Gin Go’s build
ings, giving an advantage over the
old diamond both in being closer to
town and having a better playing
