ing from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23d,
says: I'VE all had diarrhroea in more
or less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for it was
a case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain s
Collie Cholera and Darrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, | sincerely believe that at
one critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the pack
ers had been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting supplies to
the front. There were no roads that a
wagon train could use. My comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay in a
supply of this medicine for our pack train
before we left Tampa. and know in four
cases it absolutely saved life."

Protect the Game.

The reckless slaughter of game
by hunters of this and other por.
tons OF the state will cause the
next legislature to adopt stringent
laws to protect game of all kinds.
A prominent senator from Eastern
Arkansas writes to the Commercial
Appeal bureau that he will intro
duce q bill early in the session to
prevent the killing Of gamo of any
kind in this state for five years.
The measure will doubtless receive
the approval of both houses.-Ar-
kansas Correspondent to CONNER
cial Appeal.
We are glad to note the interest
aroused throughout all parts of the
state as to the protection Of game.
The passage of laws simply will
not remedy the indiscrlminate
slaughter of game. We have laws
enough, and what is needed is Of
ficers to define and enforce them.
To prohibit the killing of game
for five years, without special of
6cers to enforce the law, would
only increase the number Of viola.
tors, and game would become ex-
tinct in less than the time pre-
scribed for its protection. Give
us a game warden in each county,
with deputies and grand jury to
back them, and with the present
laws game will always be plentiful

Monaghan PheasantS.

Mr.. w. r. Duly, president of
the Arkansas State Sportsmen's
ASSOCIATION, has interested himself
in introducing in Arkansas the
famous Denny pheasant, said to
be one of the gamest birds in the
world, getting It's name from Hon.
o. n. Denny, who first imported
these Chinese pheasant while he
was acting as United States consul
general at Shanghai. They are
described as beautiful in plumage,
with the strut Of peacock and
the courage and pugilistic skill of
game cock. The female is much
palmer in plumage, but has clean
cut, graceful outlines-a fit COM
paDion for her lord and protector.
The average rooster weighs about
three pounds and has long, clean
legs with long toes and sharp
spurs. His beak is long and sharp,
and his eye keen. The distinctive
color of the Denny pheasant is
brown, and the female bird is of
that color exclusively, richly mot
tied with dark shades on the
lighter tint; but the cock is rich in
brighter colors. Sportsmen who
have hunted grouse in the foothills
and quail in the underbush, who
have bagged woodcock on English
preserves, brought down the fleet
partridge in New England woods,
and the wary and heavy prairie
chicken in western fields, place
them all far below the Mongolian
pheasant as a game bird. This
pheasant is runner and travels
almost exclusively on foot, his
long legs doing him excellent ser.
vice. He can deceive the best
trained dog. A dog cannot hold
HIM in cover like he can a chicken.
The latter crouches down and seeks
to hide; but the wary pheasant
steals noiselessly away and fools
the poor dog. The Denny pleas
ant raises two and sometimes three
broods season, and they lay from
hfteen to twenty eggs at time;
the increase In very rapid. The
nests are built on the ground and
no attempt is made at concealment.
The pheasant is not a forest or
wood bird. 1t prefers open fields
and scattering bits of timber and
bush. The flesh when cooked is
white and juicy; the flavor rich
and delicate. Vast numbers of
these birds are slain during the
open season and shipped to San
francisco and eastern cities, where
ready and profitable market is
found.
For the purpose Of propagation
twenty'four Of these birds have
been placed on the Big Lake pre-
serve and Mr.. Duley is confident
the pheasants will thrive in this
climate. At other points in Arkan-
Sas similar experiments are being
made. With proper legislative
protection 1t is believed that In a
few years this premier game bird
Will lind permanent home in this
state.-Arkansas Gazette,

The Cotton Problem.

South Carolina and other states
held conventions to consider the
question of reducing the cotton
acreage. All agreed that it was
the proper thing to do, but few
made good their promises to each
other.
About the same number of acres
planted last year were planted this
year. The crop is u prodigious
one and Of course the price is low.
The other day the October option
reached the lowest point on record,
which moved one of our exchanges
to remark that elf the farmers of
the South would reflect upon the
fact that they receive no more
money for a crop of 100000
bales than for ono of 1900, 900
bales, but that the big crop costs a
great deal more to produce and
market, they might see the wisdom
of reducing production"
The truthfulness Of this state
ment has been thoroughly demon
stratcd within the past two or three
wears. but it seems to make little
impression upon those engaged in
cotton planting. They get to-
ge'her early in the season and
agree to cooperate with each other
in tho reduction of the acreage,
and that is about all. About the
same number of acres are planted,
a surplus is left over in the hands
of the spinners, and the price goes
down below the cost of production.
The Richmond Times, which has
given much thought to the cotton
situation, and which, like other
newspapers that have taken an in
terest in the matter, has come to
the conclusion that cotton acreage
cannot be reduced by holding con-
ventions and adopting resolutions.
''Thcre are so many cotton plant
ers that il is next to impossible to
get them to agree upon any scheme
of this character" says the Times,
"and it has been shown by expert.
ence that even when they do come
to an agreement many OF them do
not abide by it. Indeed all such
agreements usually result in the
production of larger crop, for
the individual farmer reasons with
himself that if the cotton acreage
at large is TO be reduced there will
be an increase in the price of cot.
ton, and that that is the time for
him to put in a large crop. The
individuals make up the organiza-
ton, and the result is more cotton.
So that we believe that the cotton
production is to be reduced and
will be reduced by the individual
action of farmers rather than by
any attempted cooperative effort.
When the farmers of the South,
each for himself, come to the con-
clusion that the sensible thing to
do is to produce their supplies at
home, to diversity their crops, to
make the farm support the family
and TO plant a smaller acreage of
cotton as money crop, will the
acreage throughout the whole
South be reduced"
These are sensible words and
ought to be Endorsed by every
Southern farmer. Many of them
have adopted this plan, and they
are among the most prosperous in
the South. They know that they
can produce their supplies much
cheaper than they can purchase
them from other farmers, and that
when they have their living Sc
cured the surplus products of the
farm represent so much cash and
