W BFTIER FARMING HINTS, i*
QUIT SELLING COWS.
The greatest calamity in Arkan
sae just now is the sale o’ cowl
and heifers from our farms. Ther
ought to be an embargo if it wen
legal, against selling any heifers o
any cows under ten years of age
Arkansas needs a thousand pure
bred bulls brought into the slate
but she can't spare a heifer or b
cow. Our farms need the manure
and our farmers need the cash they
would realize next year from calve;
from scrub cows and sired by purt
bred bulls. Farmers can make
money by growing calves and feed
ers for the Northern farmers tc
finish. Get in bulls but do not set
cows. Two specialists of the Ex
tension Division of the College ot
Agriculture are helping bring in
pure bred bulls. Write the Direc
tor Extension Service, old statt
house. Little Rock, for information
about getting pure bred stock.
SELL. ON STANARDS.
Farmers and other good manu
facturers should always sell on
standard and on reputation. It will
pay farmers and their wives to
make high standards and have
their products sought for. Sell
only infertile eggs and efegs of uni
form size and color. Sell only
sweet and clean butter in nice
shapes. Sell only choice berries or
apples or cantalou pes and perfect
ly honest packages. Hood River,
Oregon, apples are sold in New
York and Livarpoo1 in unopened
boxes because the guarantee is
perfect. A box of high priced ap
ples was bought in Northwest Ar
kansas in December that had less
than thirty perfect apples. Anoth
er box was bought in February and
two-thirds of them had to be
thrown away in less than a week.
Sell on reputation and guarantee
standards. Write the Extension
Division of the University and U.
S. Department of Agriculture at
Fayetteville or Little Rock for
rules and bulletins.
RAISE SHEEP.
A small flock of sheep on a farm
is always profitabe, no matter what
the market conditions of mutton
and wool. Since August 1914 the
destruction of woolen goods in Eu
rope has exceeded that of any ten
years preceding. The war has also
reduced the holdings of sheep both
in England and Australia. For ten
years wool is bound to command
a good price and all meats will be
high. The Extension Division of
the University and the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture with of
fices at Fayetteville and Little
Rock want to promote the growing
of all kinds of live stock, and bulle
tins will be sent free on sheep,
hogs, cattle and horses.
INFERTILE EGGS.
Let every consumer ask the gro
cer or farmer for infertile eggs and
take no other. Then the old roost
ers will be fattened and sold and
the young roosters that are to be
kept for sale or for breeding pur
poses will be separated frpm the
1 .laying hens. Remember that the
hens will lay more eggs if the
males are not present and the pres
1 ence of the males will render the
i eggs unfit for table use in hot
weather after from thirty to forty
! hours. Swat the rooster. Sell on
ly infertile eggs.
GOOD HEALTH.
The farmer’s greatest asset is
f good health for himself and his
L' family. To keep in good health all
lr must have good food, properly pre
*, pared, must observe common spnse
rules of sanitation and cleanliness
and must keep premises free from
contaminating conditions. Flies
4
and mosquitoes are carriers of dis
ease and must not be tolerated.
Good drinking water must be pro
vided. Typhoid fever, malaria and
tuberculosis are far too common in
the country. Let everybody help
make the country the sa*e place
ror living, not a dangerous place.
Ask the county agricultural agenL
ind the home demonstration agents
for bulletins on health or write tc
the Director Extension Service
University of Arkansas and U. S
Department of Agriculture. Little
Rock, for bulletins.

The readers of this paper will he
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
inlluenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Kill the Ticks.
They are still discussing the
question whether the ticks can be
eradicated, notwithstanding one
third of the originally infested area
has been cleaned. They, refers tf

want to learn. Some men knew It
years ago that the ticks could b
eradicated, and knew how it coulc
be done: but it will take some peo

ticks can be eradicated for less

Presidential Pointers.
Grant was christened Hiram
Ulysses. Cleveland. Stephen Gro
ver and Wilson, Thomas Woodrow,
the first name being dropped in
early college life. W. H. Harrison
was the oldest man elected to the
presidency and Roosevelt the
youngest. Grant being the next
youngest by six months. Cleve
land was the only piesident mar
ried in the White House, and his
secortd daughter the only presi
dent's child born therein. Mon
roe's daughter ( Mrs. Gouverneur),
Grant's daughter (Mrs. Satoris),
and Roosevelt's daughter (Mrs.
Longworth) were the only children
of presidents married therein, till
the recent weddings of Jessie and
Eleanor Wilson. Wives of Tyler
and Benjamin Harrison died in the
White House. W. H. Harrison
was father of the largest family,
six sons and four daughters. Eight
presidents: Washington. Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe, W. H. Har
rison, Tyler. Taylor and Wilson
were Virginians by birth. Five
presidents: Grant. Hayes, B.
Harrison, McKinley and Taft were
Ohioans by birth.
Three presidents of the United
States have been assasinated:
Abraham Lincoln, April 14, 1865.
shot by John Wilkes Booth, at
Ford's theatre, Washington: James
A. Garfield was shot by Charles J.
Guiteau, July 2, 1881. at Washing
ton, died September 19: William
McKinley was shot at Buffalo.
September 6. 1901 by Louis
Czolgosz and died September 14.
Jackson was shot at in the capitol

by a house painter named Richard
Lawrence, but the pistol missed
fire. Ex-President Roosevelt was
shot and wounded by John
Schrank, an insane man, at Mil
waukee. Wis., October 14, 1912.
There has been only one im
peachment of a president, that of
Andrew Johnson, who was im
peached in 1868 for usurpation of
the law. corrupt use of the veto
power, interference at elections
and high crimes and misdemeanors.
His trial lasted from March 30 to
May 26 and he was acquitted by a
vote of 35 to 19 a two-thirds
vote being necessary. A change
of one vote would have resulted in
his conviction.
Why Lead Pencils Have No Lead.
Do you know that lead pencils
are not made with lead? Long,
long ago lead was used for this pur
pose, and the continuance of the ,
name is misleading, but illustrates
the persistence of the original as
sociation. Today lead pencils are
made with graphite and have been
since this substance was discov
e'red in 1565. It is one of the
forms under which carbon occurs
in nature. It is soft and unctuous
to the touch, iron-gray in color ar.d
of metallic lustre.
Graphite is dug from mines and
is rarely found in sufficient purity
obe available for pencil making.
After being purified and pulverized
it is mixed with clay, proportion of 1
each depending upon the grade of;
hardness desired in the pencil. The j
k-gree of softness depends upon j
he relative preponderance of the
graphite in the mixture, and the!
softness is in accordance with the
greater portion of clay. The re
quisite degree of hardness depends,
too, on the compression of the mix
ture into form ready to be glued
into the wood casings.
Ceylon. Mexico and Europe are !
the chief sources of giaphite. In
this counti-y there are important!
mines at Ticoderoga. N. Y. All j
though lead pencils were not made
in the United States until 1861.
American manufacturers now sup
uly nine-tenths of the home de
mand and have largely entered into
competiton for the world's trade.
