BUY AND RAISE THE BEST
Scrub Stock Make Poor Beeves And Milker*
Says John II. Page.
There is absolutely no reason ir
assuming that live stock farmin/
will not pay in Arkansas, whe
farmers in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana.
x and Illinois have made a success c.
it on $100 per acre land, with shori
summers, long winters, and a
single crop season and no natura
forage and range. While in Ark
ansas we have only a few week;
during each season that it is nec
essary to house the stock; we cai
raise three or four crops a season
have plenty of $10 land, and un
limited natural range. There an
few obstacles to Arkansas live
stock farming.
The big question that will con
front our live stock farmers is th<
question, what kind of stock shall
I buy? Buy and raise the kin
that will produce the most monej
in the shortest time. This wil
eliminate the scrub cow, the
scrawny ill-bred bull, and th
razor back hog.
in seiecung caitle, do it with th(
idea of making money, and in doin*
this, you will consider the beel
making qualities and butter making
qualities. The beef and butter
animal is the animal you should buv.
The butter strain of the Shorthorns
and the butter strain of Holsteins
have been found to be this "beel
and butter" animal. They are just
about as good milkers and produce
marketable beef of good qualit\
in a short lengtn of time. Witt
feed and care, they in my opinion
are the cattle for the average farm
er. I would prefer the butter
strain of the shorthorns. Small
cattle like the Jerseys and Guern
seys and similar breeds would be
eliminated if this method went
followed strickly. These are gooo
milkers and butter producers, just
as the beef strain of the Herefords.
Shorthorns and Holsteins are gooc
beeves.
Buy the real thoroughbred hogs
A young thoroughbred sow or
boar, while less than a year of age,
can be bought so cheaply and pro
duce so quickly that every farmer
• can afford to get a start. The
Duroc-Jerseys, the Berkshires and
PolancT Chinas and all money
makers. They grow quickly and
are good foragers. They produce
a maximum amount of pork at from
• ten to twelve months old, and grow
large.
Don't forget t.o watch out foi
hog cholera. Either Dr. R. M
Gow, State Veterinarian, Fayette
ville, or H. H. Holtzclaw, Russell
villa, will come fo any part of the
State and teach you how to ad
minister hog cholera serum and will
not charge you anything except foi
his actual expences and the actual
cost of serum.

So Many People Die of Mood poison.
A little scratch on the hand a
splinter, or a small abrasion of the
kin is often fatal because the
poisonous germs start the infection.
Thats where Hunt's Lightning Oil
comes in handy as an application
on the abraison, kills all germs
which may have lodged there,
thereby preventing infection and
death. It pays to keep this remedy
in the home, especially where there
are children. All drug stores in
in 25cts and 50cts bottle.
Health Notice.
The attention of all citizens is
called to the urgent necessity of
looking after the sanitary conditions
of their premises.
Flies require the greatest at
tention.
They carry more disease-germs
and cause more sickness than any
other source of contamination.
Flies breed in filth, chiefly horse
manure. A single fly will lay
about 120 eggs, that hatch out in
ten days. Gan you realize how they
multiply?
This is the reason all garbage,
manure and vault contents should
be removed at least once a week.
Screen your house, at least your
kitchen and dining room.
Put manure in a screened pit or
vault.
Keep table refuse and all garbage
in a covered can or keg.
Mosquitoes breed only in stag
nant water.
That empty can you threw in
the back yard will be partly filled
by the next rain, and you will soon
have a large family of mosquitoes.
They are dangerous as well as
annoying.
Don t allow any standing water
on your premises.
Clean up your alley. Destroy
all W3eds.
Use disinfectants freely in your
hous? around your stable, espec
ially on the manure pile, and in the
garbage can.
Boar in mind if you see a fly there
is filth near you.
Report any nuisance in the neigh
borhood to the health or sanitary
officer.
Dry disinf ictant “C eo-Feneque”
suitable for use arcund your prem
ises, may ^ obtained free by appli
cation to the Health or sanitary
department.
POSTAL SAVING DEPOSITORY.
Nultlg Postoffice Will Become One or
September 2 1913.
The postmaster general has
designated the Hnitig postoffice
as one of a large number of office'
to become a postal savings deposi
tory or bank on September 2.
The Postal Saving System was
eatablished experimentally in one
postoffice in each state and terri
tory on January J, 1911. Since
that time its business has grown
rapidly until now, after two and one
-half years existence, it is doing
business with more than 350,000
depositors in over 12,000 deposi
tory post offices. These depositors
haye to their credit about $35,000.
000, not including $3,500,000
which has been withdrawn by them
for the purchase of postal savings
bonds.
costal savings depositories have
proved a signal success in affording
citizens, who hi*herto have been
without savings faculti°s, an op
portunity to deposite their sayings
where they are absolutely safe and
they have also been of inestimable
advantage to many of our new
immigrants, who lack confidence
in our commercial banks, or are
unfamiliar with our banking meth
ods. These people were accus
tomed to patronizing postal banks
in their native countries and it was
a bitter dissapointment to them no.
to have similar facilities in this
country. When the service was
started, many prominent citizens
believed that it would prove a
serious disadvantage to commercial
banks, national and state, but the
opposite has been the result. The
patrons of postal savings deposi
tories, as a rule, had no accounts
in commercial banks and it has
been possible to call from hiding
places millions of dollars, which
have been immediately deposited
in local banks as required by law.
The postal savings banks make for
good citizenship, because they en
courage economy and thrift and
promote the welfare of the com
munity. The citizens of this com
munity should take pride, and justly
too, in having your office made a
postal savings depository.
No post offiices have been made
depositories since November 1,
1912. The effort will now be
made to extend the services to
points where there shoul 1 be a
strong demand for it.
