FARM TO PROMOTE
STOCK RAISING
Iron Mountain Road Will Try Ex
periment in Order to Show
Profits of New Plan
The growing of live stock for
market by forage feeding is the
distinctive feature of a demonstra
tion farm a Warsaw, Mo., inaugu
rated by the Missouri Pacific Rail
way. The railway company al
ready has demonstration farms in
operation at various points along
its lines but this is the first ven
ture of the company into the field
of animal husbandry. On Sep
tember 1st, 100 head of hogs, 200
sheep, 50 breeding ewes and 150
Idaho lambs will be brought on
the farm. The soil is now’ plant
ed to a variety of forage crops,
sown in succession, consisting of
cow peas and corn together, cow
peas planted separately, oats, soy
beans, rape and rye pasture. The
^animals themselves will do the
harvesting, thus doing away al
most entirely with the item of ex
pense for labor in that respect. As
the experiment is for the purpose
of showing that this kind of ani
mal husbandry returns the max
imum of profit in addition to
bnilding up the soil, close check
will be kept on every item of ex
pense and on the gain made by
the animals on the different forage
foods.
The agricultural department of
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Moun
tain is one of the hobbies of presi
dent B. F. Bush and much inter
est in the experimental farm work
being done has been manifested
by the farmers along the com
pany’s lines.

my wife’s health, I will sell my
entire stock of general merchan
dise and fixtures at a liberal dis

NEW STATE RULING
ON VACCINATION
Vaccination rules for the coun
try schools have been changed by
a recent order of the State Board
of Health and now it is not com
pulsory for children to be vacci
nated unless smallpox exists in the
c immunity. The new ruling of
the health department is as fol
lows:
“Whenever it shall appear that
smallpox exists in the com
munity or liable to develop in a
j community no child shkll be per
mitted to enter or remain in any
pi i rate or public school in this
state except upon the following
conditions: First, the presentation
of a certificate signed by a com
petent and reputable physician
showing evidence of successful
vaccination, or, second, a recent
vaccination done in a proper and
approved manner by a competent
and reputable physician, or third,
a certificate showing immunity
from having had small pox; pro
vided, there is nothing in this reg
ulation to interfere or prevent
those school boards now requiring
vaccination certificates as en- j
trance qualifications to schools to
enforce the same. The enforce
ment of these requirements shall
rest upon the teacher or princi
pal in charge.

PREPARING FOR A
GREATER STATE FAIR
Live Stock Will be Given More At
tention and the Fair Will be
Greater in Every Respect
J
Hot Springs, Aug. 4 —Exhibit
| ors of live Stock at the State Fair,
which will be held in Hot Springs
November 16 to 21, will be inter
ested in learning that the direct
ors of the next great exposition of
the products of the state have
made ample preparations for the
competent judging of all live stock
exhibits, for during the coming
big state show, as in the past, this
feature will be in the hands of
judges to be selected by Prof.Mar
tin Nelson, of the Arkansas Uni
versity.
A few weeks ago Secretary W.
W. Waters, of the State Fair As
sociation, sent to the editorsof the
state press the first of a series of
letters touching on the next State
Fair, calling their attention to the
fact that if there ever was a time
in the history of Arkansas’ news
papers when patriotism should be
shown in behalf of a great state
institution it was now to be mani
fested for the next State Fair, ask
ing the support of the editors of
the State for the next exposition.
He pointed out that this was not
a Hot Springs enterprise but a
state project, and the answers that
have been received from editors
all over Arkansas are mote than
gratifying. Whoever intimated
that the editors were not friendly
to the State Fair didn’t know
what he was talking about.
The men who preside over the
destinies of the various papers
throughout the state have not
been lacking in their patriotism,
and they have rallied to the sup
port of the State Fair, realizing
that in so doing they were making
a wonderful Arkansas exhibit cer
tain at the Pan American exposi
tion and I am deeply grateful for
this assistance.
Taken all in the 1914 fair will be
the greatest State Fair that Ark
ansas has ever witnessed, and its
chief champion will be Governor
Geo. W. Hays, who stated at a re
cent meeting of the Business
Men’s League in Hot Springs that
when on the stump in the next
campaign, instead of talking poli
tics, he would “boost the State
Fair and tell of the glory of Ark
ansas.”
