WHERE STOCK GROW
INTO COLLARS
Practically no progress was
made in stock raising in Arkan
sas during the year 1914, accord
ing to a report just issued by the
agricultural department at Wash
ington.
The report shows that there
was a total of 276,000 horses in
it' ~aa.~ i__ 1 1 m r

compared with 273,000 on Janu
ary 1, 1914. The total number
of mules January 1, 1915, was
240,000 as against 235,000 for the
previous year. There were 387, -
000 milch cows January 1, 1915,
as against 386,000 for the pre
vious year. All other cattle
numbered 484,000 as against 475,
000 for the previous year. Of
sheep there were 130,000 this year
as compared with 124,000 the pre
vious year. Hogs numbered
1,573,009 January 1, 1915, as
against 1,498,000 the year before.
This is a total of only 3,090,000
farm animals of all kinds in the
state. The population of the
state is 1,654,000. This shows
that the state has less than two
farm animals for each inhabitant.
There is less than one milch cow
for every four persons, and less
than one hog for each person in
the state.
Arkansas is an agricultural
Btate, the principal part of her
wealth being produced on the
farms. Yet we find that in live
stock, one of the most profitable
and valuable products of the
farm, our state is one of the
poorest in the Union, when, in
fact, it should be one of the fore
most states in this respect. We
have every natural advantage for
stock raising in this country and

ant and profitable branch of
farming if our people would give
it the proper attention.
The Journal does not intend
this as a criticism of our farmers
but intends only to point out the
great opportunity for profit that
is being so seriously neglected by
the farmers of Arkansas.
The average value of horses is
given in the report as $103.25,
mules $112.35, milch cows $55.33,
other cattle $33.35, hogs $9.87.
There are 3,474 farmers in In
j dependence county. Suppose
each of them should raise one
mule, two head of cattle and five
head of hogs more this year than
he raised last year, which is not
at all impossible. But it takes
longer than a year to raise a mule
or a steer, so suppose that at the
end of the year the additional
stock is worth only $100, which
is a very low estimate of the
value of the additional stock that
could be raised by every farmer.
This would mean a total of
$347,400 additional money for the
farmers of the county.
There is a total of 214,873
farms in Arkansas. If just one
half of these farms should pro
duce $100 worth of stock more
than was produced on them last
year, it would add nearly $7 to
the per capita wealth of the
state._
Alabama will go dry on July 1,
the legislature having passed a
state-wide prohibition law over
the governor’s veto. Alabama
adopted a state-wide prohibition
law in 1909 and after trying pro
hibition for two years the law
was repealed in 1911. But after
a four-year trial of the old liquor
regime, the state has returned to
prohibition by a far more decisive
majority than when the first
state wide law was enacted.
There is no more defense for
legalizing the liquor business
than there is for legalizing and
licensing robbery.
Uncle Sam’s biggest gun has
just been finished at the arsenal
at Watertown, Mass. The gun
is 56 feet long and is capable of
shooting a 2,400 pound shell 21
miles. The gun is to be used for
the defense of the Panama Canal.
It appears that Uncle Sam is
going to make it unhealthy for the
fellow that starts trouble in that
neighborhood.
Why not let’s live at home?
The farm isn’t much of a place to
make money, but there isn’t a
better place under the sun to
make a living and such a living
as money cannot buy. Every
farm in the Southwest should
have a big garden this year
well prepared, well planted, well
cultivated and well used.—Farm

STATUTORY MORALITY
To do right from principle is
good is best—but in many things
we need to be taught what is
right. The law informs and fol
lows information with penalty.
It is often argued that men can
not be made moral by mere legis
lation. True; but the law may
point the way; and the penalty,
like a whip, hold us in the way
until it is seen to be the best
We legally forbid the adultera
tion of food. This in itself does
not prevent men from eating im
pure food, but it puts them on
notice and creates sentiment in
favor of wholesome food.
The same is true of laws pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicants.
Ihe law will not prevent all men
from drinking but it establishes |
a standard and serves notice of
danger. This restrains the wise
and in some measure even guards
the foolish. If there is no such
law, weak and uninformed men
are more easily beguiled and led
astray.
Good law helps to establish
principles. It is a schoolmaster.
Centuries of life under civil law
have resulted in progress and are
justified by our present superior
ity over the jungle man.
Shall wre continue on this road
or allow the liquor traffic for
selfish gain to turn us aside?—
Western Methodist.
Arkansas farmers planted 56,
000 more acres of wheat during
the past fall than was planted
during the previous year, and the
increase in winter oats in this
state is 154,000 acres over the
previous year. There are better
days ahead for Arkansas when
our farmers begin to produce the
necessary food for man and
beast. Sendintr our monev to
the North and West for flour,
meat, lard and canned goods for
ourselves, and for much of the
feed for our stock, is the thing
that is draining our country of
money and retarding the prog
ress of the state.
Let’s build more sidewalks in
Newark. The sidewalks already
built are the most important pub
lic improvement the town ever
made, and no one is hurt by the
tax they are paying for them.
Good walks not only add to the
value of our property but are a
convenience that is appreciated
by everybody.
If you are interested in the
unbuilding of this community go
out to the meeting Saturday and
help boost the movement to se
cure a canning factory.

John W. Crockett, former state
treasurer apd who has been fre
quently mentioned as a probable
candidate for governor, has been
appointed income tax revenue
agent for Arkansas, Kansas and
Oklahoma, with headquarters at
Little Rock. Mr. Crockett is a
grandson of the famous Davy
j Crockett and is as popular with
the people as was his illustrious
; grandsire. He has held various
official positions in Arkansas,
| from county clerk up to state
treasurer, and has the distinc
tion of having never been de
feated for any office he asked for.
The marketable stuff shipped
OUT of a community is what
brings money IN. If you want
more money in Newark get be
hind some movement that will
help to increase the volume of
maketable products in this com
munity. A successful canning
factory will help some.
Every animal that is raised on
the farm increases the income
from the farm and enhances the
value of the farm in earning ca
pacity. Every cow, horse, hog
or sheep on the farm gives you a
chance to earn more per handj
and more per acre.—Farm and
Ranch.
Boost the movement for a can
ning factory in Newark. Its
success will help everybody in
the community, either directly or
indirectly, for anything that aids;
in bringing more money into the ;
community helps every citizen of
the community.
The department of agriculture
predicts that the price of eggs
will be higher next fall and win
ter than was ever known in this
country. If this thing keeps up,
it will soon be so it will cost a
fellow two-bits to hear an old
rooster crow.
A French doctor says a vege

that Europe must be a non-vege

lives on lion meat.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease in the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it.
Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
j slowly and with discomfort; when you
have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs atteu
j tion.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
j and thence out of the system.
I Constipation is nearly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as a restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. It strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
