THE LIVE STOCK BUSINESS IN
 NEVADA COUNTY

Nevada county has shipped five car loads of hogs and more than twenty cars of cattle this season. These hogs and cattle have just grown up on the cotton farms without any par ticular attention or effort on the part of the farmers to raise them. When it is remen bered that hogs died by the thousands three years ago it is re- markable to see the number of fine hogs in the country now. If Arkan- sas could be forever rid of hog cholera there is no telling what the hog in dustry might amount to. And that can be done too. Our northern breth ren are making money raising hogs since they have learned to use the cholera serum and there is nothing to hinder us from doing the same. There's no telling what Arkansas could do if We only tried.

TEXAS METAL PRODUCTION 1914

The output of Texas mines for eleven months of 1914, with an esti- mate for December, according to pre- liminary figures compiled by Charles w. Henderson, of the United States Geological Survey, amounted to $9,302 in gold, 581, LOGO ounces of silver. 190000 pounds Of lead 3O,000 pounds of copper, and 19O,000 pounds of zine. These figures show a considerable in- crease for gold and silver, large de- crease for zine, and smaller decreases for copper and lead. The greater part of the output of silver came from the Preside silver mine and cyanide mill, in the Shafter district, Presidio County. Some silver and copper were produced at Van Horn, Culberson County, and some lead and zinc in the Sierra Blanca district, Fl Paso Coun- ty.

QUICK ACTION NEEDED

When an official of the Department of Agriculture says this country faces the possibility of beefsteak at 50 cents @ pound and shoes at $10 a pair he is not dealing in fiction, and the part of wisdom is to apply remedy before the possibility becomes a fact.
 This newspaper has published much on the question, showing a steady de- cline in number and increase in price of cattle. It has also repeatedly point ed out the futility of hoping for re- lief from Argentina and other coun- tries popularly supposed to be overrun with cattle. It is time the situation was grasped.
 A wider attention to pigs and poul try is the quickest way to add to the supply of meat It is to be noted all so that the most prosperous states of the West are those that have the most hogs and poultry.
 Cattle, however, must be the main stay. Leather. as well as meat, is an absolutely necessity. Experience, time and money are necessary to pro- duce cattle The South seems to of fer the most attractive home for them. and yet this is the section where cat tie breeding has been the most naglec- ed. If the low price of cotton turns farmers to diversified farming, it will be anything but an unmixed ovil
 Diversified farming, to be a success means marketing the crops through animal products. Perhaps, if the rbankers dealing with the southern farmers should adopt the same means employed by those of the Northwest much good night come. These men awoke to the danger of all-wheat pro duction, and began a systematic cam paign for better farming.
 In every way possible they taught the farmers that credit was question of fertility and not acres, and that fertility could be maintained only through diversified crops and animals They gave preference to the would-b( borrower who kept livestock. They imported blooded stock for breeding purposes, and sold the animals to tho farmers at cost and advanced tho money necessary to stock the farms Their members even went out through their districts addressing farmers meetings on the subject.
 The result is seen in the growth O corn in states where it was though it could not grow, and farms covere, with livestock. That section woult now ask for no Government loan i wheat sold below cost of production

For Better Business Conditions.

Tn transmitting his message to con- press recently President Wilson gave assurance that nothing further in the way of restrictive business legislation would be attempted; that business in terests. which have been seriously hampered by the war in Europe, would he left to cope with existing condi- lions unfettered by legislative inter ference. While it was generally con- ceded that the program for business legislation had been completed presi- dential assurance of the fact comes at at time to lend strength to the upward trend of business affairs in the United States.
 Manufacturing and mercantile in- terests are beginning to recover in some measure from the paralysis which followed the outbreak of the war and all indications point toward continued steady improvement.
 One of the factors seriously inter fering with the growth of American trade abroad, lack of ships to carry our products to South America and other countries, the President deals with in his message and his views seem to be economic and sound. Ad- mittedly until trade is well established there is strong probability of loss on shipping lines. that such lines could and would ultimately be made to pay good dividends is scarcely sufficient nducement to cause private capital to rush into sea transportation business. The policy of this country is and has been for long time against the pay ment of ship subsidies; likewise gov ernment ownership of transportation lines is not held in favor; there seems to be little ground, however, for op- posing the purchase of ships by the government to carry American pro- ducts abroad, provided the government will agree to retire from the carrying trade when shipping lines have reach ed a paying basis. Whatever losses might be entailed would fall on all American tax payers and all classes of citizens would share in the resul- tant benefits of increased foreign trade.-Holland's Magazine.

That our people are beginning to appreciate our farm page is proven by the fact that every week some one hands us an article for publication while others have told us that they enjoy reading the farm page.

DRY HIDES WERE NEVER
 HIGHER THAN AT PRESENT

There never was time when dry hides were higher than at present. It was predicted, when congress put green hides oI the free list, that the price of hides would go down while the price of the manufactured product would go higher, but that has not been the case. On the contrary shoes are about as cheap as they ever were and hides are higher than they were be- fore.

But "FertlilZe, manure anu peas
 Will build up rundown farms
 with ease"
 If every farmer in Arkansas would memorize this little motto and recite it every day till it's truth had time to soak in, and then live up to it's truth. Arkansas would soon be much better prepared to feed herself. Di- versified farming won't run itself without diversified man" to con duct it.
 The old Arkansas cotton fields now lie brown and bare in mute appeal to their owners to wake up and be- gin to feed them. If Arkansas is to feed herself, she must begin to- feed her fields that for years have been yielding up their original store.
 Diversified crops do not insure a permanent farming system unless marketed chiefly through live stock. This is the experience of every old farming community in the world. The stock work for the farmer every day in the year. They are always in demand on the market with at least a fair price. They leave on the farm at least four-ffths of the fertilizing val ue of the feeds they consume.
 A 1000 lb. animal produces about one ton of manure per month. With our average feeding this is worth at leastS2.00 for the plant food it con tains Its further effect on the soil when light coat is turned under every two or three years is to make a healthy, vigorous crop growth and resist drouth
 The most prosperous small farmers found during the profitable farming campaign were those who had feed ing shed for their stock and were haul Ing the stored up manure to their

father. Dear old Eustacel Nobody
thought the old man would leave him
a penny. l guess he'll be pleased.
That ought to mean five thousand a
year to him."
l told Miss Penton about that, too.
and she was so pleased that almost
thought she was crying instead Of
laughing.
What does your Uncle Eustace
look like now?" she asked. Has he
the same black, curly hair that he had
when he'was boy?''
''Why-haven't you seen him since,
Miss Penton?" l asked her.
Miss Penton shook her head, and
something seemed to whisper to me
to leave her. So did.
At Easter Uncle Eustace came to
see us. He looked just the same as
ever, except that he was wearing a
new suit of clothes and a brand-new
overceat. His. hair was grayer than
it had been the last time, and he was
beginning to grow fat.
81 tell you, Jim, he said to father,
''it's mighty fine thing for me to
have that money. was beginning to
get played out. Pm an old fellow
now-it's time l took life easy
What are you going to do with it,
Eustace?" asked father. why don't
you invest it in a good mortgage or
two? I'll take care of it, if you like.
You know you never had much bust
ness sense"
I've been thinking" said Uncle
Eustace, about a nice little farm,
such as I've always longed forAsay
twenty-five thousand dollars worth
of land, and the rest"
"Eustace, why don't you get mar
ried?" asked mother, looking at uncle
in queer sort of way.
why, who would have an old fell
low like me?" he asked.
''You are not old, Eustace; you are
just in your prime" said mother an

anxious to go to school with me and
find out what they taught us nova
days. He said there had been a great
change in the educational system
since he was boy, and he was in
terested in school work. He also
wanted to see the buildings and the
way they were ventilated.
why, Uncle Eustace, you won't.
have to wait till school opens" l told
him. Miss Penton is always glad to
show visitors round. I'll ask her"
mo! Here, Tom! Wait minute p'
Uncle Eustace shouted, but was al
ready running down the street ahead
of him. You see, had always wanted
Miss Penton to meet Uncle Eustace,
about whom l had told her so much,
and this seemed like a heaven-sent
opportunity.
When l reached Miss Penton's
house they told me she was in the
school, looking over some holiday
work, so went back and explained to
Uncle Eustace. 81 guess we can go
straight there" l said to him.
".Al right, Tom" he answered. But
when we got near the schoolhouse
Uncle Eustace began 70 walk slower
and slower until he fairly Jagged.
Tom" he said in hoarse sort of
whisper, 81 don't feel well. / think III
go home"
ooh, Uncle Eustace!" l. exclaimed
81 did want you to meet Miss Pen
ton"
81 tell you what, my boy" said I'm
Gle Eustace. You run home and get
me my glasses. I've got a nervous
headache from not wearing them.
That's a good chap. I'll wait for you
outside"
I ran home as fast as l could and
got the glasses, but when reached;
the schoolhouse Uncle Eustace
wasn't in sight. So wentiin to find
Miss Penton and tell her he was COM
ing.
