At hight of 200 feet the uplifted

COTTAGE HEARTH Co, Boston Mass,
The Osceola times., 1885-10-17
Cattle Raising in Arkan'
SGS,

Much has been written and said,
pro and con, upon the comparative
profit Of cotton growing as compared
with corn, grain and stock. With
out entering into the dispute at all,
nor arguing that time and labor are
thrown away in the cotton field, we
propose to record few reflections
on the matter of raising beef in Ark
ansas, for northern markets.
In the first place, we remember
that every farm in Illinois, Indiana
or Iowa has from two or three to fif-
teen or twenty steers which are kept
in pastures during the summer, and
are fed during the winter on corn
and corn fodder, and are fnSlly sold
at from CD to ~ dollars u piece.
Water for such stock is usually
pumped from the wells or caught in
ponds made by putting dam across
scme hollow in the pasture. The
work of feeding is usually done by
the farL,er and his boys and costs
nothing. Now it is fact which no
well informed person will deny, that
grass grows in Arkansas. Crab
grass certainly grows, and that would
be good enough, if we had no better.
But Blue grass grows, Timothy
grows, Clover grows, and all grows
well in Arkansas and our woodland
pastures, where the underbrush is
cleared out, the timber and the sun
light let in, are beautiful aud afford
magnificent grazing and tor long
er term of months than do the pas
lures in the above mentioned States.
And every month that the southern
steer stays in the pasture longer than
his northern brother, he saves his
owner one months feeding. Again
the northern steer eats to gain flesh
and also to keep warm, and by every
mouthful that he eats to keep warm,
more than his southern brother, he
costs his owner more corn.
In the matter of water, in many
instances we need neither well nor
ponds for cool springs bubble from
every hillside and clear streams me-
ander through groves and meadows.
Not every where of course, but us
ually, aid where they do not and
art is necessary, we are at least ON a
par with our competitors. In the
matter of labor, it doesn't concern us.
The work on the farm we speak OF
is done by the family aud is good
healthy labor and wont hurt any one.
And yet there is a choice between
six months splashing around in the
slush, mud, sleet and winds of north
ern corn fields and barn yards, and
three or four months feeding in the
sunny valleys and sheltered feedlots
of Arkansas.
1t cannot be denied that the sd-
xantages are with the south and il il
pays to raise big short horn, and
Durham steers in Illinois, it will pay
better to raise them here. 1t may
be a question whether it pays to
raise them anywhere. We only claim
this, that if it pays in any state, il
will pay here. and we have noticed
that men who have nice big sleek
steers for sale every fall, usually
ride IN buggies aud dress their chill
dren well. Does any one ask ~here
