HUMAN NATURE.
The never-changing problem of
how to interest boys and keep
them away from influences which
we know are bad for them is again
before the community, and the ef
forts of city and school authori
ties to persuade boys to stay away
from places that are fascinating
but not elevating, will never be
crowned by success until we supply
a substitute for the evils we com
plain about. We frequently say
that boys should stay at home
when not profitably engaged else
where. but it is not boy nature.
Grown men can hark back to the
time when they disregarded the
same advice, and they must not
expect their sons to accept the be
lief. “Make home pleasant for the
boys” is a trite expression and a
platitude that has no meaning.
Home is so frequently not pleas
ant for the adult members of the
family circle that one cannot
blame the younger generation
from dodging the issue. The prob
lem presents so many phases that
a solution cannot be arrived at off
hand.
: VICTIM OF HATRED
e
By J. H. GILMOUR.
A few miles from the confluence of
the rivers Ganges and Jumba on the
east bank of the streams there stood,
in the early eighties, a great country
bouse called “The Zillah," which be
longed to a white man. Its owner be
longed to a family famous In the an
nals of Allahabad and all the surround
ing district. They had been landed
proprietors for many years and were
one of the first to establish the manu
facture of indigo in the northern part
of India
The holder of the property was, in
the eighties, practically an outlaw.
He was shunned by his own family for
his many lawless acts, and he lived
in that great weird house surrounded
by natives of every caste and condi
tion of life, and also by a few whites
who had deserted from the army and
sought the hospitality of a man who
was hated and feared.
The man had received all the ad
vantages of a generous education and
of kinship with a well-known family.
In his earlier days he had acquitted
himself well in the dark time of the
mutiny, having formed one of that
small band of gentlemen that had kept
the road open between Hattrass and
Agra.
His troubles began with a lawsuit
and he had a lawsuit to the day of
his death. He had been driven from
one possession to another till all that
was left him was the “Zillah.”
When the present king of England
visited Allahabad, the owner of "The
Zillah” sent word to the authorities
that he Intended to present a petition
in person to the prince, and would
saj things that would compel his royal
highness to take notice of him, and
then, perhaps, he would have justice
meted out.
The man entered Allahabad with
the following of the most disreputable
men in his village and drove to where
the prince was lodged. An army offi
cer who was a friend of the family
begged him to desist and prevailed on
him to withdraw as his presence with
that following was little short of trea
son.
“Then give the German this paper,”
he said as he flung his petition to the
officer and withdrew, swearing ven
geance at everybody. From that day
he declared he owed no allegiance to
England, and swore he would not pay
another cent in taxes.
It was collected with the aid of
the armed police.
Like men of his kind, brought up
without any ideas of business, he was
ever borrowing large sums at ruinous
rates of interest, and whenever he
was in need of ready cash he would
put a mortgage on some theretofore
unmortgaged piece ot property.
The man who lent him the money
was a native, and in the course of one
of the trials the singular statement
was elicited from this native that he
vowed to ruin the white man if it took
his entire fortune. He worked to this
end for many years, and artfully led
the unsuspecting victim into many a
financial trap.
“A man like you,” said the native
to him one day, “is often in need of
money, ready money. Why do you
not come< to your slave Instead of go
ing to the bankB.”
“You are no friend of mine,” an
swered the white man.
“It is your fault that you are not a
friend. Do not I owe my life to your
father?”
"You do,” was the reply, but if you
will remember it was I who wanted to
blow you from a gun and I would have
killed you with my own hands only I
knew the temper of my father, and he
would have himself delivered me over
to the government after promising you
your safety.”
"Let the past be the past,” said the
native. "I have come to you with of
fer of help for the sake of thy father
and you begin to upbraid me.’
"Can I take help at the hands of a
murderer of my people?”
"My hands are clean,” said the na
tive humbly, "and the offer comes from
my heart.”
At last the man listened and turned
to the native for aid. More than once
he had been warned that he was go
ing to his own undoing and that he
would know that a native never for
gets and never forgives, and that he
was being more completely ruined
than even he or his friends could real
ise.
"I want the money and the men
that can ruin me are not yet born,”
was all the answer he made.
Then began a series of foreclosures.
One house went after another. The
(aw was inexorable and the white
man paid the penalty for his folly.
There was no respite for him. It
was war with a vengeance and the
legal war was driving the man to acts
of outlawry. He met the native go
ing into the courtroom, smiling and
bland, and he thrashed him with his
horsewhip till the poor wretch's flesh
was in ribbons. For this act he served
a short time in jail, not for the beat
ing he administered, but for beating
a man in the building of the law
courts.
When everything was taken from
the man except “The Zlllah,” the law
intervened.
And there he lived with outcasts,
without a friend, shunned by his own
family, feared by the natives and
hated by the authorities—a victim of
the revenge of Ram Lai, who, had he
had his just deserts, would have been
blown from a gun as a traitor.

The Farmer Must Bear the Loss or
Receive the Profits—Spring Oats Is
An Emergency Crop.
In choosing crops to replace cotton
it Is important that Arkansas farmers
first select those crops which will aid
in supplying grain and forage for home
consumption. Where no winter oats
have been sown spring oats should by
all means be given a place.
To make the greatest success with
spring oats the seed should be sown
as early in the spring as possible.
This will vary from the first part of
February in southern Arkansas to the
J
Prepare Good Seed Bed.
first week in March in northern Ar
kansas.
The seed bed should be thoroughly
broken and firmly settled. The
use of the disk harrow and sec
tion harrow before seeding leaves
the seed bed in ideal condition.
Seeding with a drill instead of
broadcast, according to the results
of various experiment stations gives
an increased yield ranging from two
to four bushels.
Tests carried for five years at the
Arkansas Kxperiment Station, in
dicate that seeding spring oats
at the rate of two and one-half to
three bushels to the acre gives best
and most economical returns. More
seed is required for seeding broadcast
than with a drill, and no less than
three bushels should be sown in this
way.
Spring varieties adapted to the state
are characterized by earliness in ma
turity. Northern varieties as a rule
are later maturing, rust badly, produce
considerable straw, and do not fill out
well. Results of variety test at the
Arkansas station have shown that
Burt oats lead in yield among spring
varieties. This oat is of a light dun
eoler and has a slender bearded grain.
The Red Rust Proof variety with its
various strains—Appier and Texas
Red—also give satisfactory results
Early yellow oats—Kherson and Six
ty Day—do fairly well in north Ar
kansas.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE CROP.
J. W. Topley of Tyler and J. W.
Roundtree of Heber Springs, last year
demonstrated that. “Dwarf Essex
Rape” Is one of the best grazing crops
for hogs in Arkansas, and that It is
relished by the hog more than most
any other forage crop and required
very little grain for the hogs where
this rape is grown.
“We can raise hogs cheaper here
than the Northern farmer can feed
through the winter,” said Dr. E. E. Par
sons, special agent for the Farmers'
Co-operative Demonstration Work m
Cleburne county, to C. W. Watson,
state agent.
CONCRETE DIPPING VATS
The Most Practical Method For Tick
Eradication.
The most practical method for tick
eradication in Arkansas is the use of
the concrete dipping vat and the sys
tematic dipping of cattle. Immediate
ly after a county is placed in the tick
eradication district, from 25 to 40
dipping vats are built in various sec
tions of the county. The vats are lo
cated so that cattle will not have to
be driven more than three miles to
be dipped.
Cattle are allowed free range and
are not quarantined In pastures, but
every three weeks during the summer
season they are dipped at a designated
vat. Where the majority of people
want to eradicate the tick it only
takes about two years to clean a coun
ty, however, it can be done quicker.
The only reason for taking two years
is that with some cattle owners in
different or hostile, cattle are often
hard to find on the range.
The system of constructing dipping
vats and the systematic dipping of
cattle has passed beyond the experi
mental stage. In Arkansas the sys
tematic dipping of cattle was firs:
tried by the writer in Newton county.
The cattle were allowed the free
range and were dipped every thrpp
weeks. In the fall they were permit
td to move in the tick-free area by
inspection, and the following year the
county was placed to the north of the
quarantine line.
R. M. Gow, State Veterinarian.
A light surface dressing of eight tc
ten loads of manure per acre will in
crease the yield of grain next year If
applied properly.

OPPORTUNTIES FOR RAISING
CATTLE GREATER THAN IN

Boarding Cows Must Go to Market

sas—Milk and Butter Pay Family
Expenses.
| -
By H. F. Auten, Chairman Profitable
Farming Campaign, Little Rock, Ar
kansas.
The first question asked by the far
mer is what kind of cattle shall I
raise. The answer is prompt. Rai=e
the kind that will produce the most
money in the shortest time, and this Is
the question that must be answered
by the experience of successful stock
farmers. If you reside at or near a
market where milk cap be readily sold,
then you should use only dairy cows, |
such as the Holstein, Guernsey or Jer
sey. and these cows in dairy districts
are popular in the order just named.
Any cow which does not produce four
to five thousand quarts of milk per
year should be sold to the butcher.
Milk will sell wholesale at 5 to 6 cents
per quart and will retail at 10 cents
per quart.
Dual Purpose Cow Needed.
In case the farmer has no milk mar
ket handy, he should then raise cattle
which will produce a fair quantity of
milk and butter, and at the same time
produce Rood beef. These require
ments are met more fully by the beef
and butter strain of Shorthorns than
hy any other breed of cattle. The
Hereford, sometimes called the “white
lace,” and the Scotch Shorthorn are
purely beef animals, but they are not
nearly so profitable for the farmer as
the beet and butter strain of Short
horns. The cows of this breed will
weigh from 1,200 to 1.600 pounds each
it maturity, and make from 8 to 14
pounds of butter per week. The par- ■
cel post makes it possible for every |
farmer in the state to send his butter 1
to some central market, and fresh
dairy butter will sell the year round
at from 25 to 40 cents per pound. This
means that each cow will produce
from $3.00 to $5.00 worth of butter per
week. The small farmer who is oj>vy
able to keep three or four cows wiil
thus be enabled from his butter to
buy his family supplies, clothing and
purchase school books for the children,
and the calf when grown will bring
just as much as one of the calves from
the purely beef strain and will be
clear profit, owing to the fact that the
cow has paid her way the year round.
In case of purely beef cattle the far
mer has to feed the cow one year tn
order to get the calf and then has to
feed the calf the next two years, and
all he gets for this three years of feed
is the sale of the calf.
THE CATTLE TICK MUST
BE ERADICATED
State Will Net Reach Full Measure of
Prosperity Until the Cattle
Tick Is Gone.
The movement now under way in Ar
kansas will be a great factor in help
ing the state, step by step, to reach
the top plnacle of agriculture perfec
tion. “Let Arkansas Feed Herself.”
W hat a proud motto for a great
state! It should fill the mind with
enthusiasm and the chest with panting
pride. Kxtreme pride in one's self is
a grievous offense, but pride in what
your state is and what your country
is, is the the patriotism that binds
this homogenious American mass of
people into the irresistable force that
is moving ever onward, always up
ward. "Let Arkansas Feed Herself.”
How your children will rever you for
having inaugurated that movement,
providing the principles are carried
out.
CATTLE TICK MUST GO.
1— Kills your cattle.
2— Reduces the price.
3 Prevents shipping to good
markets.
4— Prevents bringing in breed
ing stock.
5— Kills the cattle business.
6— You can't afford to feed the
tick.
7— Has cost the South millions.
The Dipping Vat Will Do It.
Demand For Meat Growing.
One hundred million people of the
United States are demanding more
beef, more steaks and roasts; mind
you, more meat; not more ticks. If
you are raising ticks you will be dis
appointed to find that there is no mar
ket Tor them; you cannot sell them
anywhere. If you insist on raising
ticks keep them home and suffer the
disgrace they will heap upon you.
