GREAT COTTON CROP
ARKANSAS TAKES THE LEAD IN
 HIGH QUALITY STAPLE.
River Bottom Lands Produce a Long and Fleecy Product Which
 Tops the Market.
Little Rock. Ark.

It is a matter of personal pride to natives of Arkansas, wherever they are found, that the Bear State pro- duees the best cotton in the country When the first bale" stories be- gin to ripen there is interest all over Arkansas, for then it is that one of the finest industries in all the land attracts attention of the out side world and brings a fresh crop of homeseekers into the state.
 It is a matter of considerable pride that the cotton crop in Arkansas is admiration of the most discrimina- ting buyers.
 q do not believe there is state in the South which produces any bet ter cotton than Arkansas,'' said a buyer for export. Tt is also true that some of the Arkansas cotton is as poor as the poorest. You can find anything in Arkansas cotton from the short lint with poor body to a long lint of fine grade"
 Sales of cotton at 20 cents a pound have been reported, a lot of POI bales sold for $20,100, an average of $100 per bale.
 The best cotton grown in Arkan- sas is of the long staple variety, and grows along the river bottoms. The Mississippi, Arkansas, White and Red river bottoms produce the greater number of bales which bring fancy prices. A fancy staple must possess a long lint and silky but strong fiber, and such cotton can only be grown in the heavy black lands near the larger streams.
 The Arkansas river in Pulaski county meanders over about sixty miles of territory. Counting both sides of the stream the Arkansas has a water front of practically 120 miles and is very productive as cotton area. In this section some of the finest cotton grown is picked each year, comparing favorably with the delta product, and that particularly fine staple from the Sea Island sec tion in Florida.
 Nearly every bale of cotton raised in Pulaski county is sold in Little Rock, and when the bales of fancy staple come in there are plenty O. buyers ready to pay the fancy price
 Dealers at Hope, Pine Bluff and Helena buy more fancy bales than are purchased in Little Rock, and this season cotton has sold at Hope as high as 23 cents per pound.

Business Rivalry on River.

Baton Rouge.-The action of the New Orleans merchants in preparing to establish {. boat line on the river between the Crescent City and Nor gan City, via the Plaquemine locks has aroused a great deal of interest among the business men of the state capital, who had already placed the Concordia in commission over the same course. This boat has been doing a good business in hauling merchandise along the line from Ba to Rouge and bringing sugar here.

Hole Cut Through Hand.

Cotton Plant.-A peculiar accident happened to MT. Rice at Hunter as he was assisting in driving well on his farm. He was using a small pile driver to drive a two-inch pipe into the ground, and carelessly put his hand on top of the pipe, allow ing the weight of the suplifted block to fall on the pipe. cutting the entire width of the pipe out of the center of his hand. The bones and flesh were left in the pipe, leaving a clear-cut hole through the hand.

| portant condition in keeping the milk
| free from bacteria is a low tempera-
ture. This will prevent bacterial
| growth. Therefore the milk, immedi-
| ately after being drawn, should be
| kept cool in tightly closed vessels of
glass. BY thus treating the milk, MI.
Gurler of De Kalb, ILL.,, kept it in sealed
| glass vessels for three weeks without
| souring.
Another method is to heat the milk
| and thus kill the bacteria as well as
| prevent further contamination. In or
der to s~terilize milk and kill all its
| bacteria it must be heated to PIP de-
| grees F. and kept there for 80 minutes.
Pasteurization of milk consists in
heating it highly enough to destroy the
bacillus of tuberculosis. Fol this pur-
pose a heat Of $50 degrees for 20 min
J utes, or of 165 degrees for 10 minutes,
is sufficient to destroy the germs of
nearly all the diseases communicated
in milk.
There is one disadvantage in pas
teurization, namely, that it's efficacy as
a germ destroyer may lead to it's use
| as a means Of covering up unclean
methods of dairying. The worst forms
of u~ncleanliness with milk occur with
the mixers hands, the exposure of
milk to foul odors, which it quickly
absorbs, and putting it into unclean
and open vessels.
Source Of Disease.
The most usual diseases hat may
be transmitted in milk are tubercu-
losis, d~iphtheria, typhoid and scarlet
fever. tuberculosis causes more deaths
than any other infectious disease. 1t
aff1icts swine and chickens as we'll as
cattle. The latter have it in the same
form as man, though it has not yet
been conclusively proven that bovine
tuberculosis is produced by the same
germ as that which develops consump-
ton in the human organism. Never
theless, it is an almost established fact
that infants may be infected by the
bovine tuberculosis, and it therefore
follows as a probability that adults,
especially if weak and susceptible, may
also take the malady in that way. In
the East perhaps 5 per cent of the
animals nave tuberculosis. In this
state comparatively few, a very much
smaller percentage, Of dairy animals
are affected. Not every cow will con-
taminate her milk when she has tu-
~berculosis in some other part of the
body. But if the disease is in the I'D
der, which is somewhat a common
condition, she will secrete milk con-
terminated by the germs.
When typhoid fever germs, occur in
milk, they 10 not come from the cow.
The germs are carried in the water
drank by the animals. The typhoid
germ thrives in milk, as does also that
of d%iphtheria.
The diphtheria organism comes also
from man. It usually gains access to
the milk from the mixer, say through
his coughing, whereby some of the in
visible sputum spray may be carried
into the milk vessel. Lik the typhoid
organism, this one grow rapidly in
milk, m may infect those who drink
it.
The organism of scarlet fever has
never been isolated. It is thought,
however, that it gains access to the
milk from some person infected with
the disease.
The matter of cleanliness is much
misunderstood. In the sanitary sense,
a dish is clean when free from bac-

The fact is hereby announced, for the information
and caution of all whom it may concern, that suit has
been begun by THE DE LAVAL SEPARATOR
co. in the UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
against the STANDARD SEPARATOR co. of
Chicago, Milwaukee and elsewhere, for infringement
of LETTERS PATENT No. 892, 900 in the manu-
facture and sale of cream separators containing Discs
covered by the claims of said letters patent.
Separators made by the said STANDARD SEPA-
RATOR Co. have been and are being sold by various
different concerns under various different names, includ-
ing the SHEFFIELD CREAM SEPARATOR
co. of Chicago; BABSON BROS. of Chicago; the
SIMMONS HARDWARE co. of St. Louis, Mo-;
the BLANKE HAUK SUPPLY CO.. of st. Louis,
Mo-, and several others.
All such separators containing such infringing Disc
construction sold by any of these concerns, or anyone
else, equally infringe said letter patent as if actually
sold by the STANDARD SEPARATOR co. under
it's own name, and all of these concerns are equally liable
for such infringement.
Likewise is every USER of any such infringing
separator, bought of any of these parties or anyone else,
liable to the DE LAVAL COMPANY for all income
or profits derived from the use thereof. /
The VIM. GALLOWAY CO, of Waterloo, Ia,
and L. E.. ASHER & CO., of Chicago, also advertise
separators that are made by the STANDARD SEPA
RATOR co, but no evidence has yet been obtained
of their sale of machines infringing the patent in ques-
ton.
The caution is again repeated that there are still
other concerns infringing this and other DE LAVAL
ownede patents who will be held accountable in due
course. q.

red in all parts of the state, the min
imum ranging from 80 degrees in the
southeastern to Is degrees in the
northwestern counties on the 18th.
Lower temperatures We're reported on
April IA, 1907, and April IA, 1905,

trail Station for the first half of April,
the total being 292 inches, or 20 inch
more than any previous record. form
one to three inches of snow fell on two
DAYS during the week in the northern
half of the state, and rains have been
frequent in all parts of the state and
heavy in southern and eastern sec
tons. Very little, if any, field or gar
den work has been done, and in some
counties of the state oats sown over a
week ago have not yet been covered.
Some of the early sown oats in the
southern counties are up and the re
ports in regard to the condition OF
winter grains and clover are more
promising than they were last week
Most fields now show good stand
and the plants are vigorous and
healthy. The continued cold weather
has kept the fruit buds back and al
trees, except peaches, are in goot
condition.

ECZEMA A GERM DISEASE.
Myriads of Microscopic Animals lneest
the Skin of the Sufferer.

When the skin of an eczema suf-
terer itches and burrs i'll untold agony,
do you know what is going on within
The pores of that skin?
Myrlads of microscopic animals are
gnawing at the flesh, breaking down
the fine cells and causing testers,
thick scales and that terrible itch.
The germs multiply faster than Ma
ture can throw them off.
Now, there is only one way to get
rid of these germs-they must be
killed in their lodging places. Dosing
the stomach or trying to cure the
blood will not, of course, kill tho
germs, and that is why all the blood
remedies fail in eczema; that is also
why salves which do not penetrate
can do no permanent good.
Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly
compounded in liquid form will pane-
trate the pores of the skin and kill
the eczema germs. If properly mixed
with thymol, glycerine and other IN
gradients Gas in D. D. D. Prescription
this wash will build up the tissue OF
the skin and promote it's healthy
growth, giving Natur, a chance, while
killing the germs faster than they can
multiply.

If the river rises three feet more,
it will then be out of its banks and
some damage ray be expected to re-

the river stage read liza feet, a rise
of almost foot in the past twenty
for hours and the great stream still
continues to rise with the result that
many of the families living close to
the river in house boats were begin
ming to pull their shanties farther up
the bank this morning.
The long row of fifteen or more
launch and boat houses along the
river front that have been high and
dry for the past eight months are
beginning to float and the distance
between them and dry land is increas-
ing with each hour. Several of the
owners of the boat shelters were busy
putting up planks this morning to pull
the crafts in where they could be got

The sluice way at the lock is be-
coming much deeper and the water at
this place is becoming quite high. All
this is the result of the heavy rains
which have fallen recently and a
spring flood is evident. The farmers
in what is known as the bottoms"
are becoming worried over the stage
of the river at the present time and
are earnestly hoping that the waters
will recede instead of becoming higher.
