SEE USEFULNESS OF CAMEL
Importation Of Animal into This coun-
try May Be Productive Of a Great
Deal OF Good.

News comes from the insiders that
the camel is to be imported into this
country and domesticated and iu-
creased 80 that he may vie with the
useful COW. The camel used to live
on this continent several acons ago.
He was driven across Behring strait
by the ice. 1t is hoped that he may
take up the threads of life where he
left on. The camel is extremely use
full. He can subsist without high balls
or ice water. Camel's milk makes ex-
cellent cheese, and shawls made from
camels hair are splendid covering
for old gentlemen. As a means of
exercise the camel is not to be des-
pissed
Perhaps, however, the best use of
the camel will be as an example
to our rich men. Most of them are
likely to forget how difficult it is for
n camel to go through the eye OF the
needle. But when camels begin to
mingle with our scenery advertise

CLIPPING THE WORK HORSES
II Animal Is Worked to Extent Of
Perspiring It Dries Off Quickly
When Hair Is Cut Short.

Logic and practical experience in
dicate that any horse which must
regularly exert itself to the point of
profuse perspiration should be clipped
whenever the hair is long. Unless a
horse Obliged to labor until covered
with perspiration has the long hair
taken off, it naturally holds its perspi-
ration for considerable time, and il
the animal is left outside in cold
weather, or even II stabbed in other
than warm building. it is likely to
suffer from coughs, colds, pneumonia
and other diseases that may be
brought on by such condition. On
the other hand If the long hair is
clipped off and the horse is forced to
labor to the extent of perspiring, it
dries off very quickly when left stand
ing. but in all cases it is wise to use
a blanket. The blanketed horse with
short hair will dry off quickly while
the same animal with a coat of long
hair dries off very slowly with or with.
out blanket, and the probability
that it would be disabled in some
manner is much greater for the un
clipped horse. It is growing to b,
quite a common practice to clip work

ATTENTION TO HORSES BITS
Mouthpieecs Are of Much Importance
in Relation to Harness and for

1t is a good thing in buying bits to

Bits of forged steel are expensive
but genuine and worth buying. They
are guaranteed made by master OF
his trade and finished and polished
like glass. They will not need as
much care as others for they resist
rust and are always safe. However.
attention should be given even these
bits.
The other kinds are stamped steel
and iron. Some are cast in sand
molds, submitted to the heat of
fiery furnace and then annealed and
therefore not very breakable.
The stamped steel are somewhat of
the machine-made class of goods. Bits
are of signal importance in relation
to the harness and FOR the safety and

ANOTHER NORTH ARKANSAS
LINE.
Railroad Being Built from st. Paul
Eastwerd.

The fifteen miles of railroad now
being built by the H. Phillips
Lumber Company, Of Fayetteville,
from Combs on the St. Paul branch
of the Frisco in the south end OF
Madison county to Cass on Null
berry creek, in the north part OF
Franklin county, is one of the most
unique roads of the South. Already
seven miles of the road have been
laid to steel out from Combs, but be-
yond this point the steel work has
been held up by the necessity OF
costly bridges across deep steep sid
ed ravines where fills are not at
present practicable. The first bridge
to be constructed is now nearing
completion, and when finished it
will be the highest piling bridge in
the state if not in the southwest.
This bridge is is made of white oak
and pine piling 80 feet long, driven
into the ground II feet, The net
height of the bridge is 70 feet. When
this bridge has been completed, the
work of laying track will be contin-
ned on to Fanes creek watershed,
where the road circles Pigeon Roost
Hollow, crossing three more such
piling bridges, one Of which will be
even higher than the first one built,
as it must be 80 feet from the track
to the bottom.
Contracts for the earthworks have
been sub-contracted, and work on
grading is now being done along the
entire route. One Of the sub.con-
tractors is a woman known only as
"Aunt Hannah" Her work in di.
recting the grading is equal to that
of any man.
This new railroad crosses a por'
ton OF the Ozark National Forest in
Franklin county, and in obtaining O
special use permit for right of way
the railroad company entered into
special agreement with the forest
service to prevent in every possible
way any damage to the young
growth in the forest by the con-
struction of the railroad. They must
clear and keep clear of all timber
and all innammable material all the
right of way for 200 feet on each
side Of the line, and in case of fire to
do all possible to suppress it, and to
prevent others, All timber so cut
from the right of way must be paid
for at the regular stumpage price,

The railroad company must build

along the line and to use the rail,

engineers and stationers must have
