1t was not precisely an urgent let

anything with 1t until the ship arrived

The intelligence OF animals seems

the other day a wonderful collie that
had belonged to Sir John Lubbock

thirsty it would fetch card marked
Drink When it wanted to take q
walk, it would bring card marked
Out Sir John Lubbock trained it tc
do this trick in less than month
He put the food. card over the dogs
food and made it bring the card tc
him before he would allow it to eat
and in the matter OF drinking and
going out he used like method. The
cards were similar in shape and color
Nothing but the writing on them diff
fered. Since, therefore. the dog dis
tinguished them by the writing alone
it may truly BE said that the animal
could read.

Railroad RurliOr.

The Eureka Springs Times is responsible for the following;
 Rumors are rife on our streets today in regard to extension of a new railroad into this city in the near future and they are perfectly reliable.
 For some time the Frisco and St. L. 6 N. A. systems have been at outs concerning the one and ten day excursions that have been run in here during the past two or three years and 1t is thought by some that a new road is to be built into this city.
 For several days a party of surveyors have been surveying near Beaver and are now camp ed at the head of Roaring river and are working this way. They are completely equipped with all instruments needed and 1t is sure they are not out for pleasure.
 The survey thus far taken is from Exeter, Mo-, going down to the mouth of the Leatherwood where it is thought they will come direct into this city. Rumors are rife as to what company is having the work done and some say it is the Frisco system. The work of the surveying party will be watched with interest by our citizens.

ety to take this matter up at it's first meeting and appoint com- mittees to see after 1t throughout the entire season. He is sure that there is something of much value to be found in this section and that this locality will get due credit for it if it is sent in. He said 1t could not be said after this fair as it was after the one at Chicago, that simply Arkansas got the prizes, if fruit from the state should be so fortunate, but the individual will be given full credit. He said over at Clarkes- vile few days ago a fellow told him he was sure that it was Johnson county apples that took the prize at Chicago, but that Benton had overshadowed every thing and took the credit. At Paris he was told that it was apples from Logan county that really took the prize but no credit was ever given. At Ozark a Franklin county fruit grower as- sured him that Benton had cheat- ed Franklin out of the credit for the prize apples at Chicago. No such contention can arise this time. He said he told the apple growers over in Benton a few days ago that they had better get down to work for an exhibit this time, as they would no longer be permitted to take credit for apples produced in other counties and that they must remember this time they have not only Logan Johnson and Franklin to contend with, but here is Carroll, where few sswild apples' were gather. ed last year and carried to St Louis fair to be awarded a hal dozen blue ribbons.
 Mr. Logan urged that at leas a plate or two be furnished from every orchard that the number of varieties be made as great a' possible. Seedlings will be es- pecially in demand as the sweep stakes prize for the largest mum. Der of varieties is one of the mos desirable.
 Again it is important that al the fruit be gotten this yea possible for the reason it nigh be that a poor season will b. had next year. But should i be favorable and enough fin apples secured next year to cap ture .all of the prizes, the oppor tunity to place tkem on displa, and advertise our country befor the many thousands of visitors which is of the greatest impor tance, would be lost.

Green Forest than is to be found in the richest agricultural region of the northwest. If land in Me- braska that sells for $50 per acre can be made to produce 50 bush- els of corn which upon an good market will bring thirty to thirty five cents a bushel, but often not more than sixteen cents, how much ought an acre of land here be worth that will produce at a low estimate 175 crates of strawberries which will sell at S1 per crate? How much ought an acre of land to be worth that will produce 150 bushels of tomatoes that will sell for twenty cents a bushel? How much ought an acre to be worth that will produce 150 barrels of commercial apples when the orchard is seven years old, which has never sold for less than a dollar barrel? How much ought an acre to be worth that will grow a hundred peach trees which at the age of five years will bear three bushels to the tree that are sure to sell at a dollar a bushel?
 Of course, the expense of ham, ding and the number of acres that can be cared for are all to be con- sidered, but there is no more limit to the number of acres that can be utilized for fruit, berries or toma- toes than there is to the amount of land that can be cultivated by the Nebraska farmer with all of his improved machinery, if nec- essary help and means are en- ployed.
 Northwest Arkansas is not ex- celled by Nebraska as a pro- ducer of poultry and eggs, while the stock raising business has been attended by greater success than nearly anything else that has ever been followed in this country. We have much better water, and just as good a climate. In fact, we have both milder win ters and cooler summers than they have to contend with there.
 While Nebraska is the best kind of a good couHtry, the vir- tue of her soil is not to be envied by our people. The ordinary renter up there could sell off his farm machinery and come down here and buy d tract at the pres- ent price of land that would make him a happy and prosperous home. What Nebraska has that we need is the push among the people that has in less than twenty years brought that coun- try out of d semi desert condition and thought to- be- worthless lands to one of the thriftest coun- tries to be found in the great wheat and corn belt.
