than In the colder regions. More

or rather the warm, moist climate
OF the tropics. insures a more con-
slant, abundant and uniform food
supply.
These, and these only. are our
natural advantages for growing live
stock. We have less severe winters
which mean less hardships for our
live stock, and shorter winters with
longer growing season which mean
that more abundant and varied
food supply may be produced.
In other words. We require less ex-
pensIve stables and can feed more
cheaply. Truly these are essential
advantages In the growing OF live
stock. but these are merely natural
live stock cannot be left to nature.
In fact. the modern domestic animal

To develop and maintain such
races of domestic animals has re-

tural knowledge and tho most thor

more sacrifices: more thought. more
labor. will be necessary. The highest
type of farmer found In the world
to-day is tho farmer who gives spe-
cial attention 10 the growing OF high
grade domestic animals. As class.
the stock breeders OF the world are
the equal In intelligence OF any class
OF men. not even excepting the so
called learned professions. They are
not such. however. because they
breed live stock. but they are able
TO breed live stock because they are
intelligent. II. therefore. our natural
advantages consist only In milder
winter climate and longer growing
season for the production OF feeds
for live stock. IL must be apparent
that these so-called natural advan-
tages are not of themselves sufficient
TO insure success In the growing OF
live stock. This has been our chief
mistake in the past. that our mild
climate and the fact that some feed
grew during the entire year, made
live stock growing easy. IL Is such
an artificial business. requiring such
n high degree OF intelligence and
close application OF energy. that no
natural advantages which We possess,
even though these be of essential
value. will compensate for the lack
OF preparation, study and care In
our past efforts to produce better
class OF live stock for the South.

GOV. DONACHEY
GRANTS PARD0NS

Little Rock, August 31.-As par
don applications were continually
crowding in and demanding 80 much
of his time, Governor Donaghey has
decided to give the first day of each
month to hearing applications for
them. In case he cannot complete the
list in one day he will devote the sec
ond day of the month to hear them.
As he will be out of town on the first
day of September, Governor Dona-
ghey devoted a good portion of Tues
day to hearing applications for par
dons and issued three, one blanket
affair which included eight names.
The last pardon was issued to restore
citizenship to eight boys of Walnut
Ridge, who went out to have good
time and enjoyed pot roast at the
expense of a neighbor farmer by lift
ing a few fat hens from his chicken
roost. The boys all paid their fines
and Governor Donaghey smiled remi-
nlSce0lly Witch Ilc SiiCN WIN P~%NN
to restore their citizenship, and re-
fused to reply to questions regarding
his boyhood ability for passing a wat
ermelon patch without feeling the
pangs of temptation. The other par
| dons went to Lee Thompson OF BaX-
ter county, serving two years Tor
carnal abuse. Thompson entered the
penitentiary in March. His petition
was signed by the presiding judge,
the sheriff, prosecuting attorney, nine
members of the jury which convicted
him and 1900 citizens of lizard and
, Baxter counties. Oscar Levlns OF
Miller county, with two months to
serve on a years sentence for per-
| jury, was pardoned in reply to
lengthy petition signed by many OF
the leading citizens of Texarkana and
Miller county. Bob Wear and wife
of Polk county, fined for disturbing
the peace, had their fine reduced
from $50 to so, through the gener-
osity of the governor.
