time. keeping our farms ID hf-i class condition.
 Of course stock raising, ch as hogs, sheep, etc. can be car r,ed on without the dairy, but tb' dairy or creamery IS the mai''- stay in the building up of oui worn. out land. It takes nothing from the farm but the butter which is of no value as ferti'- izer, and the surplus stock, sucn as the males. the uupromlsing ie- males, and the cows, which have passed their usefulness ss mi k and butter producers.
 The stock law will practicall, adjust itself when the farmers realize what is to be gained by keeping their stock up.
 What has been done with land no better than this can be done with this, If we will but try.
 When they get their farms in good order again, the farmers will be able to raise their own living, with the exception of q few groceries, such as flour, which could be grown here, sugar, coffee, tea, etc.
 Instead of shipping in feed and meat, they will be able to ship these things out and keep their money at home.
 What a nice bunch of money herd of twenty or thirty hogs at 200 pounds each would bring now, and what a fue crop of cotton could be raised next year where the hogs were pastured this year. How much more corn we could get by putting the manure from twenty head of cows on the field, besides having the use of the COWS, which pay for themselves in one years time in butter and skinned milk.
 The question is this: Are we going to let the stock run and the good land go back to it's wild state, or are we going to kee D them up and build our land up?
 What are we going to do when the mills have cut the timber out and there will be no team work? The time is coming. Let us get ready now, before it is too late.

A Farm and the Road to It.

We live to learn" says the editor of the Siloam Springs Herald and Democrat. "and in getting mixedi n the real estate business I have learned one very valuable lesson that is of special interest to our farmers" :" This lesson is that about the first thing stranger wants to know about a farm offered for sale is What kind of roads lead to it ?"
 Here is lesson," continues this editor, that every farmer in Ben ton county should get. If the roads are well worked and improved lead ing to your place and the market your farm is worth much more. We acknowledge the farmers realize that all the money they expend on roads is valuable asset to their farms, but few of them realize it strong enough. You can well afford to double your tax and your time on the roads, for there is nothing that will add more value to your prop erty."
 The newspapers have told recently of the sale of a farm in Sullivan county. Tennessee, for $14, 1000, that could have been bought year or 80 before for about half of that amount. The reason for the in- creased price is to be found in the good road that has been built past that farm with some of the road money that Sullivan county has raised to carry out it's purpose to have good highways.

JUST A HINT TO THE K. C. $,

Not long ago, it is a matter of record, that one man representing Mena's good will in the state senate, saved the Kansas City Southern thousands of dollars for fencing it's Arkansas tracks. Wonder how much Mena and Polk county's good will will save the road in the legisla- ture of 1911 if the indicated plans of President Edson and his sssoci- ates are carried out?

Our Empty Acres.

You who are all the time talking about the South's accomplishments. Have you ever stopped to consider our empty acres?
 Do you realize that only 25 per cent of our lands are under any sort of cultivation?
 Those empty acres are just so much dead loss to the state.
 The possibilities of southern agri- culture are unlimited, but there must be greater utilization of the raw material that is going to waste.

 And, too, it might have been added by the Kansas City Star, very appropriately, too. that despite this prosperity bugaboo that Shaw fears so much. commission of doc tors has just repo rted that a great trouble with the children in the schools of Kansas City is that they are not sufficiently fed to enable them to do their work. And the same is true of every large city in the country, and probably applies in a lesser extent to smaller towns.
 Shaw's trouble is that he has a blind side, and is careful, like AL drich, Cannon and others, to keep that side to the producers of the land, while he watches the fattening of the big trusts and corporations.

SET FIERCE PACE
IN SIX DAY RACE
SMASH LAST SEASONS REC
ORDS BY LARGE MARGIN
Cameron and Krebs Are Leading Last
Years Record by II Miles and
a Laps-Demara Falls
Exhausted

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-A killing pace
is gradually pushing the weaker teams
into the rear in the six day bicycle
race at Madison Square garden.
Just before o'clock tonight Clark,
the Australian sprinter climbed high
other edge of one of the turns and
shot down into the saucer again at
the top of his speed. Before the field
could get under way he had opened up
a lead of a quarter of a lap and
desperate scramble for some time
followed.
Trainers swarmed about the railing,
routing out fresh partners, and for
time it seemed that all the riders were
on the track at once. For twenty min
utes the furious drive was held un-
slackened, amid such confusion that
the scorers had difficulty in reckoning
the distance.
When the men grouped themselves
in some semblance of order again it
was announced that Cannon and Krebs,
Mitten and West. Anderson and Van
oni, Hill and Stein, Calvin and Keegan,
and the two Georget brothers had lost
a lap and that the leaders were II
miles and laps ahead Of the record
Demara fell exhausted from his wheel
Just after he was retired. At 10 O'clock
the men had gained another mile and
three laps on the record with posi-
tions unchanged. At II o'clock they
had gained again, and the figures stood
1886 miles for the seVenty-first hour,
a lead of 16 miles laps over the mark
OF 1,402.3, made last year by Hill apd
Demara.
The score at II o'clock was:

Stol. Root-Fogler Lawson Demara.
