Summary of Arkansas Crops.

The following is the government
summary of the Arkansas crops tor
the past week:
The temperature was nearly nor
nal and there were frequent locai
showers during the week, and III
some sections heavy rains, however,
crops are generally clean except III
the southeast section, where some
are still in the grass. Cotton made
a good growth and is fruiting we'll,
generally: there is some local conf
plaint of it making too much weed
and of rust and worms inJurlng It,
but over the state as whole the
crop is generally healthy and fairly
promising. Early corn is practically
made and promises a good crop; the
late is doing fairly we'll. Threshing
of wheat and oats was retarded ny
frenuent showers. Late Irish pota-
toes are coming up to a good stand
aud sweet potatoes are good crop
and the earlier varieties are helhS
harvested in some favored localities;
apples promise to be fair crop, while
peaches are generally good crop
and of excellent quality, although
there is still some complaint OF ap-
pies rotting and dropping and OF
peaches rOtting

Injured twenty Per Cent

Columbus, Ga. Aug. 9-Since Sal
nrday he rain fall ia Columbus has
been three and a half inches. The
surrounding country for forty or fif-
" miles has had similar rains As
a consequence farmers report that
the cotton crop has been badly in
iured especially on sandy land some
farmers expressing the fear that
sandy land cotton is almost entirely
ruined. The prospects for a corn
crop are very fine.
Reports from southeastern Georgia
and southeast Alabama tell of very
heavy rains and considerable injury
to cotton. It is thought that cotton
has been injured at least Is TO 90
per cent.

Many people from here, Buh and
also Granite, are hauling their wheat
70 Rice now They say that they get
from Is to 20 cents more per bushel
than at Little Falls. It takes most of
them two days to make trip, but it
nays them to haul it there,
The q. 0. F. Court will hold their
monthly meeting Sunday evening at
clock.
The mill question is still going.
About $1,000 has been raised 80 far,
and according to the amount SUBJ
scribed by the different people, every
farmer in this vicinity will have to
Subscribe something before the amount
asked, So, 500, can be realized.
The many teams from Buh and
Granite which pass through the will
sge in the morning between 3 and 4
o'clock headed for Rices with their
wheat, reminds the people of times,
twenty years ago, when most Of the
trading from here was done at that
place.
The nice weather of late is great
benefit to the farmers. Flowing is
; nearly all done now, and they have
ample time to haul out manure.

butchering and cutting up of meats
may be done. When five pens are
needed movable partition may be put
In at A, making another. Over this
should be large trapdoor in the Sec
ond floor, through which ropes and
blocks may be let down from the raft
ers to raise the pigs when dressed.
Thus the water will not need to be
carried far, and the work may pro
ceed even if the day be stormy or Sc
verely cold.
Another plan is better because more
roomy, but not so easily heated at far
rowing time, the workroom being in
the center of the building. This has
the further advantage of permitting
the operator to feed direct from the
workroom. Such place will be found
convenient to do many odd farm jobs
like painting, oiling harness, washing
wagons, etc. The far end Of the work
room has rolling door large enough
to run in wagon.

Small Hoghouse Planned For Butch

A Farm Journal reader wanted plan
for a hogLouse where he could keep
-four brood sows and fatten twenty to
thirty young hogs in fall and winter.
He wanted to cook all the food in it
and keep the corn in the second story;
also to be able to heat water for butch
ering time and have the fire safe. In
reply to his request he was advised by
the journal mentioned that such a
house may be built for little money, the
price Of the lumber varying according
to the locality: First dig trenches below
frost depth and lay walls for the sills
16 by "a and plan for plank floor one
foot to eighteen inches above the
ground. Have the first story only high
enough to clear a mans head, as it Is
warmer in winter. In the northwest
corner have chimney and food cooker
which will also heat the water. Here

pources of Profit That Are of Vital
Importance.
The farmer carries the steer through
the fattening process that he may re-
alize profit by the enterprise. AS,
rule, he is not particular whether he
secures his profit by the increased
value of each pound of beef by con-
verting the relatively cheap raw ma
terial in the form of stockers and feed
ers into high priced prime steers or
whether he has realized that profit by
being able to produce gain in live
weight without gain in value per
pound. Manifestly it is to the former
source of profit that he must look with
greatest confidence.
Economical Gain In Flesh and Fat.
1t is clear, however, that by over
looking the factor Of ability to convert
economically grass and forage into
beef we disregard possible source of
profit and run great risk Of sustaining
loss in our feeding operations where,
with proper regard to this factor, 9
substantial profit is possible. To put
It in another way, We may say that
when put into the feed lot the feeder
il expected to gain in live weight. Such
gain may be made at great loss or,
under favorable conditions. at a profit.
The ability to make economical gains
in flesh and fat is thus shown to be of
vital Importance, as is also, obviously.
the first cost of the feeder.
The Time Factor In Finishing Steers.
In the interests. of uniformity in fin
ishing choice feeders it should be OBJ
served that high grade Herefords can
usually be put on the market in the
fewest number of days and suffer most
from carrying beyond the point of ripe
ness that Shorthorns and Aberdeen
Angus grades, while little slower to
mature, are in fully as strong demand
In the market as are grade Herefords
and that Aberdeen Angus and Gallo
ways may be carried longer on full
feed than other breeds of cattle with
out indications of punches or rolls of
fat, which are strongly Disseminated
against in our markets.-H. W. Num-
