The property situated in Robin sons boulevard addition in the southwestern part of the city is be- tug re-platted and will probably be placed on the market in the near future. The Ioo.foot avenue known as Conway Boulevard will be so changed to open at the center of the State Normal grounds, and al leys will be provided in each block. The property is principally owned by Mrs. Jo Frauenthal and Sam Erauenthal.

THE STOCK LAW.

Petitions are now being ClrCula- ted in this city for the repeal of the ordinance prohibiting stock from running at large in Conway. The Log Cabin Democrat does not pretend to voice the attitude of the city council in this matter, but as a newspaper devoted first of all to the upbuilding of Conway and her advancement along all lines, 1t be- lieves that word should be said against this movement.
 The man who wants his stock to run at large in town wants to inn pose upon his neighbors and the public generally. He may not re- alize this, but if he will think the matter over carefully he cannot av- old this conclusion. If his stock run at large, they must pasture on property that does not belong to him. The only grass to be found is in the ditches and drains at the side of each graded street, fringe on the edges of the sidewalks, and that which grows on vacant and unenclosed property. If the cattle graze. ill the ditches, they will so obstruct them as to practically double the cost of repairing and draining the streets each year. Ii they graze along the sidewalks, the walks in many places become almost impossible and the great expense to which many of our cit izens have been put for these walks might as we'll have been thrown away. But even if a mans cattle are so we'll trained as to shun the streets and sidewalks, they must graze on land which belongs to someone else, and on which no one has right to place his stock without the consent of the owner.
 And this is not all If stock are allowed to run at large, they will aot even conhne themselves to the ditches, the sidewalks and the unenclosed private property, but will seize every opportunity to enter other peoples yards and gardens. Your kind and gentle COW would doubtless be guilty of nothing of the kind, but if your COW is given the freedom of the city in which 10 roam, there is always the other fellow who owns breachy stock and who cares nothing for the rights of ais neighbors. The result of this will be ruined gardens, flower beds and shrubbery and no relief for the nlured owners of them.
 The question is simply this: Do we want Conway to become city or forever to remain country will iage? The stock law is one of the principal lines of demarkation be- tween the two.

AN ARTICLE ON FERTILIZING
Setting Forth Some Interesting Facts
 Concerning the Same.

Fifteen million dollars worth of nitrogen hanging over every acre Gas you read last week) and a farmer complaining that his land is poor, and he goes on paying 20 cents per pound for nitrogen in a fertilizer and his land remains poor, and he gets poorer, paying for what he could get free. The Almighty has put that nitrogen there so that the oxygen will be so diluted that we can breathe it. You need not fear that you will exhaust the supply for no matter how much you take, 1t IS always go- ing back to the air i'll every fire that burns and every manure pile that heats, and every animal that dies. You can take all that you can use of that fifteen million dollars worth and your bank account in nitrogen will never be overdrawn; and as the fake advertiser says, "It's free" and has no axe to grind. But 1t is free only to the man who does his part. The all-cotton man walks through that sea of nitrogen enveloped in its millions of dollars and never gets dollar of 1t, but pays his hard earned dollars to the fertilizer man, who knows he is a fool for doing it.
 |
 Half the money HOW spent in commercial fertilizers in the South, if properly applied, would increase the cotton crop per acre far more than the present dribbling of ferti- lizer in tie furrow, if a good rota- ton was practiced and fertilizers used only on the peas and crimson clover. Under the system practic- ed by most cotton farmers, they belong to the fertilizer trust, and farming don't pay The fact IS that farming does pay, but the majority of the cotton growers are not farming at all, simply planting cotton and gambling on the chances with little 8-2-2, one fourth of which is poorer dirt than the farmer has already on his land. Two per cent of ammonia in fertl- lizer will give in ton about thirty four pounds of nitrogen, and when a man uses only about POO pounds of this per acre, he spreads over that acre 3 I pounds of nitrogen, or about half what the natural rainfall will bring him annually. What possible effect can such a little nitrogen have on the crop? And yet in the 200 pounds he would pay about seventy cents for it per acre. The wheat growers ill Maryland use mixture of 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 5 per cent potash, and get 1t for less money than the S-2-2 goods cost w. F. Massey in Progressive Farmer.

Jersey Nay Crop Above the Average.

The second summer crop and sgri-
cultural bulletin of the state board of
agriculture has this to say of condi
tions this month:
"Hay harvesting is now in progress s
and the crop will be in some sections
above the average The weather has
been favorable for perfect curing.
Wheat and rye will scarcely reach an
average yield. Corn is backward for
this time of year, owing to late plant
ing, due to excessive rain. Some
fields are irregular in stand, owing to
defective seeds. Potatoes are, in
most cases, up to the average ut this
period of growth; sweets very thrifty.
Apples are not very encouraging, and
both apples and peaches are dropping
freely. Market garden crops, al
though uneven, will generally reach
an average yield. An increased acre
age of buckwheat is reported. Pros
pect for good yield OF black berries
and raspberries.

nYpRoPH0BlA A DISEASE.

DR. John r. Mohler. Of Washing
ton, chief of the division of pathology
Of the bureau of animal industry, af-
ter having made series Of microscop-
ic tests, declares that hydrophobia il
a tangible, deadly disease and not an
imaginary one, NJ has been held by
many physicians.
He says; "Rabies has frequently ap-
peared in various parts of the country
and has been fully substantiated in
countless cases. The denlals of the
existence of rabies have been 40 fully
refuted for many years that they are
accepted no longer by any other than
the most crednlous or the unread !"
DIR. Mohler believes that dogs when
at large should be muzzled or held in
leash, especially during the summer
season. Ihe broadcast publication
Of this statement coming as il does,
from high authority on the subject,
will tend to make persons careful in
their treatment of dogs during that
season OF the year when they are most
apt to run mad.
That rabies are product of the i'm
agination is u suggestion that does
not appeal with any force to the rea-
sonable mind. 1t is possible that
highly nervous persons may be fright
ened into believing that they are VIC
Tins of hydrophobia if they have been
bitten by dog, but the fact that cows
and horses, bitten by mad dogs fire.
quently develop the rabies, indicates
pretty strongly that there is some
thing more tangible back of the dis
ease than frightened mind.
We believe it to be the duty Of ey-
cry newspaper to warn it's readers
against exposing themselves to the
bite of rabid dogs. They should take
every possible precaution to protect
themselves against malady that has
not yet found way for successfully
combating.
The man who willfulIy let's his dog
go free and unmuzzled iu the streets
of city during the summer months,
because he believes that there is nc
such thing as hydrophobia. is doing
something that he has no right to do,
aud for which he deserves to be pun.

Rural Mail and Rural Roads.

Rural mail delivery is costing the
government an immense annual ex-
pense. City postoffices like those of
New York and Newark pay profit to
the government, while in the country
the mail service is prosecuted at a
loss. Indirectly the city pays the
cost OF the country service.
The postoffice department has been
getting information about the condi-
ton OF the country roads, aud the
road officials are now notified that
rural mail delivery will not be contin-
ued on roads that are not kept In
good repair at all seasons OF the year.
Repairs must be made this summer
and there must be no recurrence of
the bad conditions. This notice has
already stimulated country road i'm
proyement, and it will be of great
benefit in compelling local officials to
properly maintain their roads for gen
eral travel.
Thus the great power of the post
office department can be used with
splendid effect upon road improve
ment throughout the country.
