In speaking for the agricultu- ral school bill which recently passed the legislature and be- came law, Senator Arnold said: "The farmers are behind in the race of life simply because of the lack of education along agri- cultural lines. All Arkansas is interested in the farmer, and we should educate him to become a follower of an honorable calling.

Thoughts by a Cow

1 wonder if my master knows how much more good, rich milk 1 could give each morning if had big, delicious supper every evening. If he did, I believe he would give 1t to me, for he likes to make money, and 1 am sure that would be the way to make it.
 There are many things that our masters do not seem to know One is that it always pays to feed us well. We cannot make milk out of air or old straw. The richer the food we eat. the richer the milk we can give. That seems like a plain proposition, even to COW. And yet. many COW managers surely don't see it else they would act differently.
 There is another thing that our masters ought to know, when it seems they don't. They ought to know that it takes a good deal of food to keep us in proper con- dition and supply the natural waste that takes place in our bod ies. So, if we are pooly fed, there is little or nothing left to be used in making milk and but ter.
 I believe, too, that our stalls ought to be kept cleaner. When 1 got up to be milked this morn ing 1 was more or less covered with filth. How anybody could get pure, clean milk from me un- der the circumstances is more than 1 can tell. Cow as 1 am, l don't think 1 should like to drink it myself. Home and Farm.

Why Not Cover Arkansas With
 Good Roads?

With respect to the revolution that was inaugurated in Georgia on April, l. the taking of all state and county convlcts from private lessees and the putting of all the prisoners op the public roads, the Atlanta Constitution says:
 The termination of the lease system witnesses the dawn of an era of progress in a direction in which Georgia has too long lag ged.
 Some 105 Georgia counties have taken advantage of the valu- able opportunity offered by the state, and the early result will be a network of substantial. we'll paved and surfaced public roads traversing the state north and south, east and west, connecting counties and cities one with an other and stimulating agricul- tural and agricultural traffic as nothing has done in the last quarter century or more"
 When is Arkansas going to see the dawn of an era of progress in direction in which Arkansas has too long Jagged?
 When are the counties of Ar kansas, by the use of state and county convicts, to get a net work of substantial. well paved and surfaced public roads tra- versing the state north and south, east and west. connecting counties and cities one with an other, and stimulating agricul- tural traffic as nothing has done in the last quarter century or more?
 If Georgia can cover it's domain with a net work of good roads by the use of convict labor, why can't Arkansas do the same thing?-Gazette.

 April $, 1909. Editor Independent:
 In response to many requests from Carlisle friends, kindly al low me to say that self and fam fly arrived here safely-mOther and all standing the three days trip finely We left there with vegetables well advanceds but en- countered ten inches of snow and quite cold down the Rock Island in eastern New Mexico. None here in the Estancia Valley, but on account of the high attitude, 5000 feet vegetables not started yet and everybody wearing over coats ts-quite contrast to the climate of Arkansas. We have managed so far, to fight off home sickness, but can never forget our Carlisle home and the many kind friends there.
 This is a short season" coun- try adapted to crops which grow and mature quickley, but owing to it's recent acquisition by our National Government, is still in an experimental stage. The extreme dryness of the atmos- phere is very beneficial for lung and nervous diseases, so when our better half" gets ready to return to Carlisle, trust she will be fully recovered.
 Vernon and myself expect to get busy raising Mexican beans this summer. but will reserve time to answer personal letters from any one there. Kilaest re- , gards to all,
