325 Autos Are Reuistered,

Although Secretary of State Hodges has made preparation for the register ing of about 1000 automobiles under the new state law, so far only 325 have availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to further decorate their cars with the assortment of tags, fore and aft, specified in the act. Incidentally, the act becomes effective August 13 Neglect to furnish the car with the state license tag is finable from $5 up to $100, and apparently any peace of ficer, town marshal, constable, police, etc, can enforce it. Arkansas is the twenty-ninth state to adopt the law, or similar one. One of the advan- tages of the law is that it permits a car licensed in Arkansas to operate in any of the other states with similar laws without question.

MILK FROM DEVON WAS BEST
Celebrated Chemist, After Examina. ton, Gives His Opinion as to
 Which Is Best for Babies.

Some years ago celebrated chem ist. after examining the milk of differ ent cows, made the following report as to which was the best milk to raise babies on: The Jersey had too much oil in it, the Holstein too much cheese. and the milk from the Devons was the best, as it had more sugar in 1t and nearer the milk of the babys mother. says the American Cultivator. Just then young mother died leaving a baby twelve days old, and it so hap pened that the father read this report, so he rented a fresh Devon milk COW and fed the babe on the milk of that COW for more than two years. She grew up to be fine, large, healthy young lady, and at fifteen years of age was two inches taller than her father. and in her class at school with girls much older than she was.

No Pay for Commission.

On account of the fact that no ap- proprlation was made by the last leg islatIre for the salaries of it's em- playes and members, the state capitol commission will be compelled to exist for the next two years under a defi- ciency and to secure the amount from the legislature of 1913 by a deficiency bill. The Thirty-eighth General As sembly appropriated for the capitol amounts for the removal of certain offices from the old to the new build ing alone, making provision neither for the needs of the commission nor for the completion of the building. Not only will the commission have to receive it's expenses as some of the department clerks now do, by the de- ficiency method, but they cannot con- tract for the performance of any work save in the removal of the treasury and supreme court.

DAIRY cow IN THE SUMMER
lures Are Discoura agine-keep Animals Comfortable.
(By R. G. wEATHERsToNE1

By R. G. wEATHERSTONE9
 The late summer months are the most critical time of the year for the dairy cows and the most trying time for their owner. Fly pests and drought-stricken pastures are discour- aging to dairyman. Everything pos sible should be done to reduce the loss and suffering of the cattle during this period. l find that it pays to keep the cows inside during the heat of the day and feed supplemental forage crops and little grain feed.
 The sight of herd of cattle stamp ing flies in drought-stricken pasture does not speak favorably of profits and comfort. 1 have never been in favor of growing acres of forage crops and catch crops for soiling purposes. for on the average farm it is not nee essary.
 However, 1t does pay to hold over an abundance of ensilage and cut either alfalfa, clover or corn to feed the cows when the pastures are fail ing. No catch crop exceeds these reg ular crops in the amount or quality of forage yielded per acre and when they are harvested in the ordinary way they will furnish the best feed for the herd during the winter.
 In trying to save tons of hay and bushels of grain for winter feeding many men allow dollars of immediate profit to slip through their fingers, by holding back these crops for winter feeding when their animals are suf- fering and falling away in flesh con, dition.
 It is far more sensible to cut and feed portion of the green feed than it is to take the land out of the regn- lar rotation and grow supplemental crops that are less desirable for soil ing purposes. It seems difficult to impress it upon the average mans mind that the best winter feeding crops are the best selling crops.

Mottled butter is generally due to improper working
 Udder troubles are frequently the result of bad feeding.
 More sunshine for the big producers, more fresh air for the whole herd
 Sunlight and pleasant surroundings are great factors in stimulating large milk yields.
 Dairy work is no longer guess work, but science. Simple, it is true, but all the same science
 When the cream runs off the spoon like oil and has slight acid taste it is usually ripe for churning
 Salt on the casein in butter forms lighter spots and the remedy is thor ough washing before salting.
 A fiimsy fence will not restrain a bull-and will cause no end of annoy ance, especially in busy season.
 The secret of big, steady summer milk flow is generous and uninter- rupted supply of good succulence.
 The COW should have capacity to produce more milk than she is called upon to produce in ordinary dairy work
 The COW should be fed so that she will produce a full flow of milk and maintain practically the same flesh condition.
 From twelve to twentyfour hours before churning you should commence to ripen the cream. according to the time of the year.
 Dairying need not imply abandoning wheat, but more wheat on less acres. Both bread and butter should be pro- duced on the farm.
 Grading of cream is receiving more attention by the dairy press aud dairy men than 1t possibly has in the history of the dairy business
 Ever notice how the dairy business booms when the owner is interested in this work? There is too much lack ot interest among dairymen.

Will Not Contest Franchise Tax.

That the Iron Mountain will not contest the new franchise tax law was announced positively by Judge w. B. Hemingway in a conversation with members of the tax commission. Judge Hemingway stated that while the Iron Mountain considers the law both unjust and unwise, no contest would be made at this time, and the tax would be paid at the regular time. Some time ago the general attorney of the Iron Mountain made inquiries here in regard to the amount of taxes the four big roads, the Iron Mountain, Cotton Belt, Rock Island and Frisco, would have to pay under the new law, and it was supposed that these four roads would combine 10 fight the as- sessment. However, Judge fleming way set at rest any doubt as to the policy of the Iron Mountain.

says a writer in an exchange. Should you desire to build up good reputa- ton for table milk in your town, it might be well to have two breeds. have known of instances where half the herd were Holsteins, to furnish the quantity, and the other half of the herd were Guernseys or Jerseys, which helped to bring up the fat content of the milk when mixed before bottling for market. This will increase the per cent. of fat in the milk as well as give it a better body and color.

The breed does not always indicate good milkers. There are poor COWS in all breeds and the selection should be made on the merits of the individual COW. However, the average Holsteih COW will probably produce more milk than other breeds, but with a lower fat

 Washington, D.

An identical bill was passed with reference to the state of Mime sota in 190S The measure is regard ed as of great benefit to Arkansas and will unquestionably facilitate the drainage of swamp lands, because it will make government lands bear their share of the expense of drainage.

Riverside was never a tough town. It

liquor selling is no longer an issue. In
early days the settlers were frequently
annoyed by cattle rustlers, half-breed

travellers in this part of the country. He
was efYectually disposed of by a vigilance

Since then the people Of Riverside have
lived the same quiet, cultured life that
was led by their forefathers in New Eng
