How to Build Up the Soil.
To get organic matter ;n the soil
is a matter of prime importance to
the farmers in Arkansas. Except
in the bottom country and low
lands the greater part of the soils
of Arkansas are deficient inorganic
matter. Organic matter may bo
h ,d by adding humus, in plowing
under pea vines and stubble, corn
stalks, weeds, grass, etc, The corn
stalks do not add much value but
some, and they should never be
cut and burned. The best way to
add organic matter is by ra ting
and pasturing stock. Stab e man
ure is the best of ail. but cow man
ure. hog and sheep manure are al
so good.
There is such an abundance of
what is known as "range ' or wild
untiiled land, that- few farmers
care to use a part of their farms
for pasture for slock, preferring to
use the land for growing crops.
Due to this fact few of our farmers
realize the value of cow or hog
manure dropped during the year
A writer of recognized authority
says .hat the average milch cow
will drop twenty tons of manure in
a year. How many of our farmers
know this? How many ever figur
ed on this from an economic stand
point in their farm operations?
How many realize how much they
have b^en standing in l ;eir own
light by not giving pasture room
to the humble milch cow. Most of
them have overlooked the fact that
the cow is a miniature fertilizer
factory for the farm, and that all
t ie farmer has to do is to capitalize
the plant and the industry runs it -
self, for the cow on the pasture will
gather the elements of nature
th ough the process of grazing for
l?TTTfTOT,W,i^T!T*fflrolWis in the y'^af
and return them to the soil in the
form of organic matter, and even
do the spreading, without man's
aid.
un me otner nana. now many o!
our farmers have ever figured the
manure from the hog’s droppings
as of any value at all? Yet pound
for pound the droppings from the
hog are more valuable as organic
matter on most of our soils than
those of the cow. The hog is a
good pasture animal. He likes the
pasture, and if given a good pasture
wili thrive on it and pay for his
board in manure, besides making
meat for the family, or providing
pork for the market.
Cow peas plowed under adds or
ganic matter to the soil and builds
up the soil surely and rapidly. Yet
how many of our farmers can af
ford to sacrifice the yielding value
of their tillage soil by turning un
der a crop of cow peas? However
aimost the same end can be attain
ed by growing and harvesting the
cow peas and feeding them to the
cattle and hogs, for they will re
turn to the soil almost the full fer
tilizing value of the pea crop. They
will do even better tv,an that, for
they will harvest the crop in addi
tion if you will let them.
The sheep is another good ferti
lizing agency. The droppings of
the sheep have a high fertilizing
value. Few of our • farmers are
giving any attention to sheep, but
it would pay them to raise them.
Recently I traveled through the
State of Illinois, and alongside the
railroad I saw an immence fertilizer
plant, devoted exclusively to pre
paring sheep manure for market,
and advertising it as of the highest
valureas a fertilizer. So if the
farmers would restore or maintain
the fertility of the soil they should
above all else begin to prepare pas
tures for their cattle, hogs and
sheep, and keep them up for their
value as soil builders, if nothing
else. If tried out sufficiently it
will be a startling and pleasing rev
elation to many of our farmers, and
save them many collars in the cost
of fertilizers that would otherwise
be necessary to buv if they would
| continue to make good crops.
1 Remember this fact, that your ^
soil is most likely deficient in or ;
ganic matter, an to get the best re
sults in your farm operations this
deficiency must be supplied. If
\ you know a better way. try it. If
! not, try this plan.

Rests With the People.
Under the heading "Great Rail
road's Progress" Leslie’s Weekly
makes the following comments:
"That President Bush of the Mis
souri Pacific Railway system is
strongly human is well known to
those who have had intimate ac
quaintance with him and quite
equally so to those who have even
casually observed his conduct of
the intricate affairs of the system
of which he is President, aggrega
ting about 1 1,000 miles of track
a distance equal to four times that
involved in a trip from New Ycrk
to London: or, if that is not. impres
sive. thS • consider ’"traveling con
tinuously night and day at the rate
of thirty miles per hour and not be
ing able to cover the straightaway
mileage of tne railroad in fifteen
d lys.
"President' B^sh, speaking for
his directors, always says some
thing worth while. He frankly
tells the people of the thirteen
states served by those Jnes to look
out for theii own prosperity by see:
ing to it that the railroad secures a
square deal, for if the railroad
under astute management does not
prosper then it is the fault of the
very people whom it serves and
who likewise suffer. There are
many inviting bits of evidences of
forethought in the annual report
just published for the year ending
June 30, 1913. It avers that
since without 'good citizenship'
neitner communities, large cities.
States nor the United States can
firmly stand no more can a rail
road. It makes the striking state
ment th -t the company during the
past year expended over $29,000,
000 in wages and it adds the per
tinent comment: It is obvious that
the beneficiaries of such disburse
ment should be ardent progressors
and defenders in the solution of all
these complex factors which go to
make for otir mutual and unsepar
able success.' ”

Small Pox Germ is found.
Dr. Fornst. a Berlin scientist,
claims to have discovered and iso- :
ated the germ of small pox. This
elusive microbe is so infinitesimal a
protozoan that for decades it has!
massed through the most minute!
liters and escaped the closestscru
;inv of trained microscopists. Not
)nly has he found the germ but he
s able to propagate it, he asserts, j
f this be true it will be possible
.0 secure lymph for vaccination
without inoculating cattle with
smallpox virus, thus producing a
jure culture. It is expected that
;his will eliminate many of the un
pleasant and risky effects of "acci
lation as now carried on. Strictly
,he new process of inocculation
;annotbe called vaccination, for
,he word “vaccine” comes from
,he Latin word meaning cow.
Pain, Pain, Pain.
To those who suffer PAIN, let
js say Hunt's Lightning Oil is truly
wonderful in the way it destroys'
jain. So many praise it that you
;annot doubt. You «imp!y rub it |
jn, and the pain goes away. _ |
