No Cause Tor Alarm.
When asked about the cecebro
spinal meningitis in Monroe, says
the Monroe News-Star of last Sat
urday. Dr. Dowling said he saw no
cause for alarm. He thinks the
cases should be isolated and no one
should be allowed to see them ex
cept their attendants and physi
cians. ‘The people should avoid
congregating themselves as much
as possible, especially with strang
ers. but I see no reason why the
theatres and schools should be
closed. Quarantines do no good
and I am not in favor of them."
Last year during the epidemic of
cerebro-spinal meningitis in Texas
Dr. Dowling spent some time in
vestigating the disease in Waco.
Fort Worth and Dallas. "People
who have clean premises, live in
sanitary places, bathe frequently
and change their clothing at night
seldom have the disease," declared
the Doctor.

R. B. Scott Dead.
R. B. Scott, a log scaler for the
Wisconsin Lumber Co., was taken
ill at Midnight Christmas night
with a chill, lost consciousness
at 9 o'clock Thursday morning and
died at 1 :S0 o'clock Friday morn
ing. December 27. a little over 24
hours after he was taken ill in his
room at the hotel. Some of the
symptoms of his illness resembled
cerebro-spinal meningitis and while
the doctors were not positive th=y
decided that it was best to call it
such to be on the safe side and the
board of health had the public in
stallation of officers to have been
held by the Masonic lodges th it
night as well as the Sunday ser
vices at the church and Miss
Martin's piano recital on Monday
afternoon called off as a precau
tionary measure.
Mr. Scott was 43 years of ag’:
a devout Christian gentlemen and
member of the Masonic fraternity.
He made during his short residence
here a large number of friends who
were deeply grieved at his sudden
demise. His wife and 16-year-o!d
son had just moved here from
Portland. Ark., to which place his
remains were shipped Friday
morning for interment.
“Get A Pure-Bred Pig.”
If the South had continued to in
crease its hog crop, instead of be
coming discouraged about eighteen
months or two years ago. because
of slightly lower prices and the
ravages of cholera and otner trou
bles. what a rich harvest she could
have made this fall, with hogs sel'
ing at from eight to nine cents a
pound, liveweight, on the large hog
markets.
This illustrates a fact in stock
raising which was well established
long ago, that the man who is to
make money out of the business
must keep at it through seasons of
discouragement as well as in seas
ons of high prices. There is only
one really correct and safe and
successful way to raise hogs, and
that is to produce a good crop, all
that can be fed economically.— ev
ery year. With our knowledge of
how to prevent cholera and our
abundance of good grazing crops
the South should never buy a
pound of hog meat or lard.
Start now. and keep everlasting
ly at it. Buy a good pure bred
boar and a few sows pure-bred or
grade—but before you do so. not
only learn now to feed and care for
hogs by more study.,but prepare to
feed them economically. A hog
that is not fed at all is not much
more profitable than one fed on
corn at a dollar a bushel. Prepare
to feed the hogs properly, and then
never fail to raise a good crop ev
ery year. A good crop cannot be
raised without a goou pu’-e-bred
boar.—The Progressive Farmer.

The Value of the Dairy to* as a Soil Builder.
The dairy cow not only furnishes
a means by which ready money
an be made from the sale of her
products, but furnishes a very val
uable means of helping to solve the
more important question of soi’
: fertility.
A cow produces 14 tons of solic
and liquid manure yearly, a ton of
j which contains 5.6 pounds of ni
trogen. 5.8 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 8.8 pounds of potash,
which at 20c per pound for nitro
gen and 5c each for phosphoric
acid and potash is worth $240 for
! plant food.
it is true that all this manure is
not saved, but consider that wheat
or oat straw contains 9.6 pounds of
nitrogen. 4.4 pounds of phosphoric
acid. 16 4 pounds of Dotash. per
ton. and on the above prices for
these ingredients are worth $296.
and forest leaves contain 15
pounds of nitrogen. 3.2 pounds of
phosphoric acid, and 6 pounds pot
ash per ton. and are wor th $346.
Say one-half the value is preserved
and a liberal quantity, of either
straw or leaves is added as beddmg
for the cows, the loss by not being
able to save all. will most certainly
be made up. Think what this
amount of manure per cow. means
to poor land.
The dairy cow is indeed a valu
able soil builder. Arkansas has the
grazing land, climate and the loca
tion, why not the Dairy?

Four Chun hrs Unite.
The Presbyterians, Methodists.
Baptists and members of the
Christian church of Alma. Mo.,
, have decided to unite in one con
gregation and support a nonsecta

the four was strong enough to keep
up an institution. All the denorm
j nations will be represented on the
: governing board and all sectarian
Teachings will be avoided.
Members will have the choice of
procedure. The Baptist, for in
stance, will be immersed, while
i those who do not favor immersion
will be allowed the form of ceremo
ny they desire.
This is a move in the right #i
