Deadly Disease Reported in Many Places in
Arkansas How to Prevent it.
There seems to be a great num
ber of cases of anthrax among cat
tle in all parts of the state. The
last report comes from Phillips
county, where over twenty head
have been lost. It is of the great
est importance that all preventa
tive methods should be used so
that the disease can be controlled
as much as possible.
The well animals should be
moved from the barns or yards
containing the sick ones, and not
allowed to graze where the sick
animals became infected. All sta
bles should be thoroughly disin
fected. The animals tr,at die should
be burned or buried deep and quick
lime spread over them. The dis
ease has been known to break out
from grazing in fields where an ani
mal had been buried as long as
three years before. It is best to
burn the dead animals. If they
are buried a fence should be built
around the body and the surface
of the ground should be burned for
several years in order to kill out
the spores that make their way to
the surface. Be sure to keep the
rest of the stock away from the
place where the infected animals
have been grazing.
Dr. R. M. Gow, the state veteri
narian, reports numbers of cases
that he has handled. It is evident
that there are numbers of localities
in the state infected. In Louisiana
it is reported among people. In
our state it seems to be limited to
cattle. However, all warm blooded
animals may have anthrax.
date the disease 4ias • b*«n
recognized by discharges of blood
from the nose. One farmer writes:
“Bloat up very quick after death:
bloodwater runs from the nostrils;
swelling of the throat: and die in a
very short time. We have lost 20
head of cattle and one horse in two
weeks.” Sometimes the animal
becomes suddenly ill. staggers and
falls and dies in a few minutes.
There may be a bloody discharge
from the nose and mouth. The
animal may become suddenly rest
less, paw the air. run to and fro,
bellow and rear in the air.
Use all the preventative me ,hods
named above by all means if your
herd is affected. Veterinarians
have an inoculation that is a short
time preventative and strengthens
the resistance of the animal against
the disease. It is of the gravest
importance that the dead animals
be destroyed.
John H. Page.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Stay on the farm and be Your Own Boss.
There is one thing we shou’d like
to urge very strongly in this issue,
Mr. Farmer Boy, and that is that
you stay on the farm where you
can be your own boss, instead of
going off to the city to be some
body’s clerk or hired man that is.
unless you have some special
marked and definite talent for some
particular work.
It is true, of course, that the far
mer does not now get all the profit
he ought to get nor all he is going
to get but it is also true that the
working man in the country fares
better than the working man in
town. Read all you can, study all
you can. and prepare yourself to be
a good farmer a genuinely wide
awake, progressive farmer and
you w;ll, nine chances out of ten,
fare better than if you should go
to town.
As we see it. the farmer's day is
coming. The thought of the world
is turned as never before to the
building up of the country. The
government itself which was once
interested in protecting manufac
tures, developing manufactures,
and building up the towns, is be
ginning to see that the source of
all prosperity is the farm. But the
one best sign is that the farm; rs
themselves are getting aroused and
studying their pnveleges and rights.
A1 eady the awakening and organi
zation of the farniers have resulted
in untold good, and you ought to
resolve now that there shall be a
farmers' organization in your neigh
borhood as long as you live. If you
are over 1 6 years old join the Far
mers’ Union or whatever other or
ganization is nearest you. and take
an active part in it. Speak to ycur
father about it.
Another thing which insures bet
ter times for the Southern farmer
is this: For a hundred years un
, til very recently we have had to
! compete with cheap-land farmers
i in the West. That is to say. any
farmer could go out West and stake
out a "homestead," and sell his
I crops without allowance for land
j values because his land cost him
nothing, or practically nothing. But
| all that is past. The cheap lands
of the West have gone, and now
when the Western farmer sells his
crops he must add $5 to $10 per
acre as an allowance for rent or
for interest on land values. And
because of this fact crops simply
! can't be sold as cheaply as formerly.
Then. too. city populat ons have
increased faster than country pop
ulations the whole world over, and
it is becoming more and more diffi
cult for the city people to get
enough meats and food stuffs.
There are several million more
people in the United States than
there were five years ago while
there are several million fewer
| meat animals. This is an inchca
j -farm prodeots -.mist go
[higher, especially live stock.
One of the greatest of the world's
students of rural problems declared
recently that in the future labor on
the farm is going to be better paid
than labor in the towns, and we be
lieve he is right Stick to the
farm. The Progressive Farmer.

Jjst like Her Husband.
i The p^rty of visitors from the
North had been shown all the in
teresting sights in and around
Louisville. Their hosts, a Louis
ville family, had spent three days
showing ofT the town. Then they
deemed it proper to take them out
to Lakeland and let them view the
great asylum. The su; e intendent
was in a genial frame of mind and
conducted the group personally.
"Here is a queer case, ladies,"
he said, pausing and pointing out a
I man walking along a corridor,
i "That man has the delusion that he
, possesses the motive power that
' runs the universe. He is perfect
ly harmless, but actually believes
that without him the world would
not move. Strange notion isn't
; it?”
"Not ai all,” exclaimed one of
the women. "My husband has the
same idea, and has always had it
Is he crazy, too?” LoGisville

Big Mass Meeting.
When it became known around
Huttig that the Union Saw Mill
Co. had bought a lot of J. 1. T., the
preparation that kills them every
| time, there was a big mass meeting
of all the insects, including the
hornfl'es. mosquitoes. roaches,
fleas, bedbugs and every other in
sect. They passed resolutions i
condemning J 1. T., as they had
positive proof that it would kili
them every time.
TRIBUTE TO ARKANSXS PRESS.
Dolig Much Toward liaising funds for the
Expi sition BuHdint).
A glowing tribute to the efficacy
of newspaper publicity was paid by
Governor Geo W. Hays in announc
ing that the project of erecting the
Arkansas building at the Panama
Pacific Exposition had been fi
nanced and that work of construct
ing the building would start before
August 15. He said:
“Thanks to the public-spirited
newspaper men of the state, the
people are fast awakening to the
tremendous advantages which will
acrue to Arkansas through a com
prehensive arid adequate presenta
tion of her attractions, advantages
and resources to the world at the
San Francisco Exposition.
“Newspaper publicity is inarm
ing the people of the state as to
what is being done and what rs
necessary to be done in this and
other matters of pub'ic moment.
No other medium reaches the peo
ple like the newspaper, so the big
advertisers tell us. and it is my
firm belief that without the earnest
and intelligent co-operation being
shown by the press of Arkansas
that the difficulties attending the
raising of the fund rcquired for th°
purpose of advertising Arkansas
before the world at tnis time would
be well-nigh insurmountable."
Forty-six citizens of Little Rock
and twenty of Hot Springs this
week agreed to advance their cred
it, the Little Rock men $500 apiece
and the Hot Springs men $550
apiece, so that $26,000 can be
borrowed to start work on the
: building. The money will be bor
.rp.w.ed.at tjfc»e..banks ar,d the Signers
guarantee re-payment.
Four th rusand dollars cash was
collected this week and the cam
paign has just started. Hiilory
Jennings, who for years has- sold
type and printing machinery and
equipment in Arkansas and adjoin
ing states, has been appointed as
sistant to Commissioner General
Hollenberg. He will act as secre
tary to the commiss;on. He re
signed his old position this week
to devote his entire time to the
affairs of the commission until the
close of the Frisco Exposition.
