Arkansas Angora Stock Go.

Eureka Springs, Nov. 3.-The Arkansas Angora Stock Com pany, with headquarters in this county, has incorporated, with Charles l.. Requa, a we'll known goat raiser of Fayette, Mo-, as president, and Eldon M. Bare, clerk of the district court, secre- tary; capital stock, S25, ,O00. None is offered below par. The purposes of this corporation are patterned somewhat after those of the Frisco Livestock Company of St. Louis, and s. A. Hughes, an officer of the latter organiza- tion, was recently here giving in formation and advice to the mov- CTS.
 The herds of goats the Arkan- sas company expects to turn loose among the knobs and crags of this vicinity are, in addition to the profit from their fleeces, de- signed to blaze the way LOT 1i9 orchardist. 1t is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of acres in Northwest Arkansas which, by virtue of soil, altitude, latitude and climate, are admlra- bly adapted to the culture of red apples and purple grapes, ana which now serve no other purpose than to make distance in travel and fill space upon maps
 The company IS acquiring tracts of lands in this vicinity which hitherto have been conslo cred too rough for any utility save that of scenery and the dis tillation of the purest water pro- duced in natures laboratory

Missouri Pacific in Boone.

The following railroad news is contained in a dispatch from liar. rison to the Little Rock Gazette of November 1st:
 "Engineer Bogart of the Mis- souri Pacific survey is in town today en route to Keener, ten miles northeast of here, where he is ordered to begin To- eating on the Sugar Orchard route.
 It is understood that the route of the road has been determined from Georges creek to the Mis- souri state line, and that it will take what is known as the Sugar Orchard route, which brings it up to within about eight or ten miles from Harrison. Our people are hopeful of getting a spur from the road into Harrison, as 1t will be a very easy grade from the nearest point on said route to this place.
 The splendid ore being mined at the North Star mine, just east of town, will be an extra incentive for them to build here.
 It is estimated that there are now more than LOGO tones of good minera bearing rock on the dump.

GOOD MONEY IN POULTRY.
X Yocum Man Has Started Kim self in the Chicken Business.

A Yocum Man Has Started Kim
 self in the Chicken Business.
 Raising poultry as a matter of business is the kind of an enter- prise established by Bruce Phil lips at Yocum during the past summer.
 Having figured cut that an ex- elusive poultry business will yield good returns, Mr. Phillips invested in small tract of laad near the Yocum Roller Mill, built few hen houses and roosts, purchased a 200egg incubator, a chick brooder of like capacity and a setting of Plymouth Rock eggs and went to work.
 Up to this time he has taken off three hatchings of 200 eggs each and has saved about 70 per cent. TT chickens of the first matching s. now of frying size and the work of hatching out is still in process.
 It takes the incubator twenty one days, same as it does the old hen, to hatch out setting. From the incubator the chicks are plac- ed in the prooder and in a week or ten days are turned out and al- lowed to iniatiate themselves in the art of scratching, thus en- tirely dispensing with the neces- sity of a ''mother.
 The expense incurred by MT. Phillips in making his start out- side of land and roosts, did not exceed S30. The incubator, brooder and first setting of eggs were purchased in Clay Center, Neb., and were laid down here at cost of about S27.00. The cost of coal oil to hatch out a set ting amounts to about fifty cents. Besides a little attention this IS about the sum and total of the ex- pense. The same day that one setting is taken off another can l be installed and thus the business of hatching out be perpetuated from one years end to another.
 That there is great profit in raising poultry and eggs for the market in this country must be apparent to any one who will make few figures on the propo- sition. Poultry authorities tell us that having once prepared roosts, etc., the expense of keep ing 1000 chickens need not ex- ceed that tincurred by the feeding of two COWS. That from a flock of 1000 chickens you may expect an average the year around of 600 eggs day. These placed upon the market at an average price of 10 cents dozen, and you have received six dollars for each days earnings. This sum multiplied by the number of days in a year and you have a salary of S2, ,190.00-fgures that loom up like those attached to a fat government job-and still have had plenty of time on the outside in which to earn a living. You need not invest to exceed $500 in the business and 8 few near cuts for economy will start you for much loss.
 Any farmer, who has an indus- ] trious wife, can operate a 200- egg } incubator and hardly miss the
 time it takes to look after it, and
 have more money at the end of
 the year to the credit of his chick
 ems than he realizes out of his , farm products.

BIG EMIGRATION COMPANY
A Wholesale Effort to Advertise the Resources of this Country.

A. |. Riley, manager of the North Arkansas Fruit Land En- lgration Co.,, was in Green Forest Wednesday, coming here for the purpose of gathering data for a large prospectus, or write-up, his company is getting out of the towns and country adjacent to the line of the St. Louis 6 North Arkansas railroad.
 AS is suggested by the name of his company, Mir. Riley's ob- ject is to advertise the resources of this country with the hope of bringing land buyers here, who may avail themselves of the ex- ceptional opportunities for se- curing homes cheaply and thus assist in the material develop ment of the resources of this country.
 Although his company expects to deal extensively in real estate, MT. Riley tells us that it is the in- tention not only to get out an elaborate, but a thoroughly im- partial write-up of all that section traversed by this railroad; that the people he represents expects to do business all along the line, that wherever a land buyer be- comes interested there they ex- pect to sell him. When the plans of the company are once thor oughly developed, they expect to have plats of all the territory and towns along this road on exhibi- tion in several hundred northern real estate offices, where the de- scriptive literature of the country will be handed out. He declares that only bare facts will be pre- sented and that instead of being disappointed the prospective buy CT will find things even better than he expected on arrival and as a consequence the place the new conner has been interested in will practically be sold before he lands here.
 Mr. Riley is an eastern man but has spent several years in Oklahoma and other parts of the west, dealing in real estate, and is thoroughly conversant with the conditions of this country, and It is hardly necessary to suggest that he knows what he is about.
 The principal office of this company will be in Eureka Springs, where will be had on exhibition large collection Of the products of the fields and mines, so as to be able to show the thous- . ands of visitors who come there annually that there is something to be found in the Ozarks besides 1 health.
 In taking up Green Forest in his write up, MT. Riley will cer- tainly find much to say concern inc fruit, for we have not only thousands of acres of the finest orchard lands to be found, but 1t is q we'll established fact that our people are more thoroughly aroused on fruit planting than those of any other section With which lie has to deal. He will De compelled to say that it was ] Green Forest apples thatcaptured six first and two second premiums out of only twelve entries at the late St. Louis fair, and that Green Forest citizens have secured the next meeting of the Arkansas State Horticultural Association With,these statements and a fair reppksentation of our businesses, eta. Mr. Riley's report is bound t9show well in favor 0f 9Fss"

WHAT A DECADE WILL DO.
Carroll County Now Where Ben- ton Was d Few Years Ago.

| J x Benton county's fruit resources were very similarly advanced to what Carroll county's are today. The Frisco road had just been built through the county and the question of orchard planting was gaining headway. It may also be said that Rogers, as a town, then occupied a position very much the same as Green Forest does now. In reading the fol- lowing article from the Rogers Republican of last week, one can easily contemplate the change that is to be wrought in Carroll county and Green Forest during the next decade. The Republi- can says:
 "A few facts and figures re- garding Northwest Arkansas, and especially Benton county, and Rogers, the best town in this county; facts which can be verified and will bear the closest Investigation.
 Northwest Arkansas is emi- nently the apple and peach or chard of the United States; though it by no means follows that good crops of all cereals are not grown here. Corn, wheat, oats, and rye do splendidly, but above all things this is a fruit country par excellence. Apples, peaches and strawberries form the staple crops of this section. The shipments from Benton county during the year 1901 were as follows: green apples, 1419 carloads; dried apples, 175 carloads; total 1594 carloads.
 Shipments from Rogers alone: green apples, 329 carloads; dried apples, 68 carloads; total 397 carloads. The value of the green apples shipped from Benton county was about S454, 100000.
 T. B. Warren sold his apples in his 25 acre orchard on the trees for S890.00 in 1900, and for S830.00 in 1901.
 John Jones made net profit Of S13o.00 per acre on his peach es in 1902.
 R. H. Patterson received for his apple crop on 30 acres S3,000 for apples and S40O for peaches in 1901, and the firm that bought made S1, ,000.
 John Miser of Pea Ridge sold one crop of apples from 50 acres on the trees for S3, 400.
 Mrs. w. c. Miller had 20 acres of peaches from which she gath cred 5000 crates, at 7Octs. per crate, net.
 Benton county has record breaking crop of corn this sea- son (1902).
 The climate of Northwest Ar kansas is unsurpassed for health lolness and equability of temper ature; the thermometer hardly ever going above. 85 degrees in summer OF below zero in winter. There is no malaria; Rogers be- mg situated on the plateau of the Ozarks at an elevation of about l;6oo feet. Pure spring water is abundant everywhere in this vii clnlty, and there are several health resorts, where pure air, hhld temperature and medicinal waters combine ill restoring in Vallds to vigor.
 There are no hot, blasting winds III summer, nor blizzards in win ter; all kinds of live stock thrive perfection. On account of the mhdness of the climate it takes comparatively little feed, and nurses, mules and cattle live out VI uoors nearly all winter. The town of Rogers is located o'' the main line of the St. Louis ana San Francisco railway at it's junction with the line from Rog- efs to Alton, I. T., and is the prlnelpal shipping point in Ben .oh county, and is surrounded by tEe best f.niit n-,a fa r,,ai n Q. lands 6

Involuntary Stage Humor

story of the stage: I've seen and
heard good many funny things in
the way of plays and play actors in
my time, but the greatest thing l ever
saw or heard was in Milwaukee. This
was several months ago. 1t was in
one OF the museums there. The mu-
scum had a stock company in its the
ater, and its great specially was Dor.
der drama. Every week they gave a
new drama of the wild and woOlly
West. This play that | saw was a
bloOd-curdler of that character, and at
the time l dropped in at the theater
the stage was pitch dark and two men
were fighting duel | could hear the
knives clash together and hear the men
stumble around the stage, but l could
only family distinguish the forms Of
the actors. After a while there was a
thump on the floor. and the villain II
knew it was the villain by his accent
hissed: 'Ah, ha! Rudolph Teghering-
ton, l have you now and no one nigh
to see me do the deed" Then the drum
mer hit the bass drum a belt and the
calcium man turned on the light. and
away up on a rocky pass a woman
(the heroine) was seen standing. Cow

More than usual interest has lately
ben directed TO the matter of pure food.
The action of Germany in excluding
foreign meats on which boric acid has
been used Is economically important
because of the large quantity of meats
which the United States now ships to
that country. These, the American
packers say. must be treated with
small quantity Of boric acid. or else be
much more heavily salted. The amount
of bOric acid used is said by American
chemists TO be harmless, and eminent
German chemists have expressed ne
same opinion. To the German govern
ment. however. it makes a difference
whose OK is treated with boric acid
The government prohibits the use of
this preservative in food prepared for
home consumption, yet permits it in
pOtted meats put up for export, on the
theory, apparently, that 1t is danger
Gus to the German stomach, but safe
enough for foreigners. France takes
a similar view in regard to vegetables
tion of canned vegetables colOred
green by the use of copper, but forbid
ding their sale at home except when
the fact of the use of copper and the
quantity Of it are stated on the label
The action of Germany has naturally
set the authorities at Washington to
thinking about measures of self-protec-
ton. The United States is now the only
civilized nation without adequate pure
food laws. and has therefore become
the dumping ground for misbranded
and adulterated articles. The Secretary
Of Agriculture has authority to forbid
the Importation of articles of food
which are injurious to health. but he
has hitherto hesitated to set up dog
matte standards upon points open to
controversy. 1t seems simple enough,
however to decline TO receive from
other countries the things which they
will not let their own people eat.
